An Understated Dominance Chapter 2131
Dustin had already altered his looks so that he didn't stand out so much. Thus, it was weird that a beautiful woman would hit on him."Melissa, the martial world is filled with dangers. Don't simply talk to strangers. There's a lot of hypocritical people in this world nowadays."At this moment, the two young men before Melissa turned to face them.One was dressed in green, while the other wore yellow.The man in green was tall and muscular, giving off an impressive air.The man in yellow was short and had a gaunt face. One would think he was malnourished. "Krel, Jimmy, this is Dustin Rhys. He's also here to participate in the Combat Tournament," Melissa quickly introduced."So many people signed up for the competition, but not all can pass the test. Some are destined to just be the spectators," the man in green, Krel Webb, replied indifferently.There was a hint of indifference in his eyes when he glanced at Dustin."Krel is right. Only a few out of many here can pass the tes

"Hmph! You must have never seen real power! You'll soon know we're a thousand times better than you!" Jimmy scoffed.Someone like Dustin, who belonged to no guild, didn't even deserve his attention. "Contestant 846 has failed. Next."Right then, the judge's loud voice sounded again.Another martial artist failed the sign-up test and left the square dejectedly."Jimmy, it's your turn next. Don't embarrass Boulderthorn," Krel said, raising his chin. Jimmy was No. 847, Krel was No. 848, and Melissa was No. 849."Don't worry. Boulderthorn's elite disciples aren't weak! If I can't even pass the first test, I might as well kill myself!" Jimmy patted his chest confidently. The cauldron-lifting test was only the most elementary test. If he couldn't even pass this level, how could he compete with the warriors of the world? How could he make a name for Boulderthorn?"Very well. Go ahead and unleash your power." Krel nodded."Krel, Melissa, just watch my performance!"Jimmy smiled p

"Hah! You worthless punk! How dare you be so arrogant!" Jimmy sneered, looking contemptuous. He continued, "You can't even lift a ten-thousand-pound cauldron. How dare you propose to lift a 50-thousand-pound cauldron? Stop bragging!""Jimmy, since he wants to lift the 50-thousand-pound cauldron, let him," Krel chimed in. "Move it in front of him. Let's see what he's capable of!"He thought Dustin was just looking for excuses to scare off Jimmy with the 50-thousand-pound cauldron."Okay! Then I'll show my power again! Let this punk know he can't lift it!" Jimmy said enthusiastically.As he spoke, he lifted the ten-thousand-pound cauldron back to the original place, then turned to the judge. "I want to challenge the 50-thousand-pound cauldron!""Contestant 844 has failed to lift it. Are you sure you want to challenge the 50-thousand-pound cauldron?" the judge asked.The cauldron-lifting test had certain risks, especially if the martial artist with insufficient strength tried to l

"You'll soon know whether I can do it or not." Dustin smiled lightly and didn't continue to argue. To him, Jimmy and Krel were just arrogant clowns."Fine, then! I'll watch you make a fool of yourself!" Jimmy glared at Dustin. If looks could kill, Dustin would be dead by now. Jimmy had never been so embarrassed before. He must teach Dustin a lesson.If Dustin couldn't even lift a ten-thousand-pound cauldron, he would take this opportunity to humiliate Dustin and vent his frustration."Jimmy, calm down. Don't lose your temper over some insignificant punk." Krel stepped forward and patted Jimmy's shoulder.He said calmly, "You have amazing speed and skills. It's normal for you to slightly lack in strength. Don't worry about it. Watch my performance next.""Krel, you must shock that punk! Show him the might of Boulderthorn's elite disciple!" Jimmy said aggressively."Rest assured. I'll make him feel utter despair." Krel smiled proudly, glancing at Dustin with deep disdain and cont

If the ten-thousand-pound cauldron hit an ordinary martial artist, he would probably die on the spot.However, Krel remained calm, facing the falling cauldron without dodging or showing any fear. It was as if it were of no concern to him. It wasn't until it was about to hit his head that he slowly stretched out a hand, easily lifting the ten-thousand-pound cauldron.After the cauldron fell slightly, he held it midair with one hand.Judging from his calm demeanor, it seemed as if he was holding cotton instead of a ten-thousand-pound cauldron."Look, he's lifting the cauldron with one hand! Krel, you're awesome!" Jimmy clapped wildly and almost jumped with excitement."Holy shit! This guy held the cauldron up with one hand? He's too strong!""There are many people who can lift a ten-thousand-pound cauldron, but he's undoubtedly the best I've ever seen!""It's Divine Strength! He's amazing!"All the martial artists couldn't help but marvel at Krel's stunning performance. They co

Dustin smiled, looking unfazed in the face of Krel and Jimmy's provocation. He readily agreed to the challenge, "Want a bet? Sure. I'll play along.""Great! You've got guts. I can't wait to see you defeated!" Jimmy cackled aloud.Dustin could have backed down. It might be humiliating, but at least he wouldn't have to risk his life. Jimmy couldn't believe that Dustin had agreed to the challenge—he essentially had a death wish."Dustin, don't!" Melissa's face fell when Dustin risked his life for the challenge. She advised, "A 50-thousand-pound cauldron is no joke. You'll be crushed if you can't support it. Please think it over!"Dustin might look intimidating, but he was nothing more than an amateur who didn't hail from any established guild or sect. His capability would certainly fall short of Krel's. Taking on the challenge against Krel was just an act of self-destruction.All she wanted was to befriend Dustin. Never had she thought that she'd get him into such trouble."Melissa,

Unlike Jimmy's reaction when he lifted the cauldron, Krel appeared comparatively at ease. His expression didn't change much. As he lifted the cauldron, his arm muscles tensed up, and his veins bulged like worms.In a few seconds, he had raised the cauldron to the height of his chest, about three feet off the ground. This had placed him far ahead of the previous contestants.Everyone's eyes were glued to Krel, their hearts in their throats. Some wished for his success, while some couldn't wait to see him fail. Most of them were merely shocked at his strength."Krel, you're amazing! Keep going and lift it over your head!" Jimmy cheered him on.Krel was so close to success."Up!" Suddenly, Krel screamed and increased his strength. The heavy 50-thousand-pound cauldron started rising again after a short pause. At this point, Krel's expression finally crumbled. He gritted his teeth. The veins on his neck bulged as he breathed laboriously.After a few seconds, he lifted the cauldron o

"Damn! That guy's dead meat!"The spectators looked horrified as the cauldron hurtled toward Dustin. Never had they expected Krel to be so decisively merciless. The impact of the cauldron was enough to crush a man."Dustin, look out!" Melissa cried out in alarm. Jimmy stood there, waiting for Dustin's fate to be sealed. There was no escape from the impact of the cauldron. He couldn't wait to witness Dustin's demise."Hah!" Dustin smiled fearlessly at the cauldron. He stood in the same spot without flinching. As the cauldron approached, he suddenly extended his hand and caught one of its feet.Leveraging the force, he guided the cauldron to gravitate around him. Finally, with much ease, he directed the cauldron to land steadily on the ground.A dull thud was heard when the cauldron landed. As the earth shook, the dust and rocks jumped into the air from the impact. The spectators were caught by surprise.Everyone expected Dustin to die when Krel threw the cauldron in his directio

"H-Hold on! I-I surrender!" Abigail said urgently. With the sword inches away from her throat, she decisively raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.She didn't expect herself to win the match. Her goal was simply to take this opportunity to test Dustin's strength and also gauge her own progress. But now, it was clear that there was still a sizable gap between them."You've done well. In a few more years, I might not even be able to keep up with you." Dustin smiled and lowered his Celestial Blade. His words weren't flattery; he genuinely saw potential in Abigail.The dark Phoenix flames carried a corrosive power that even his mystical pure energy couldn't resist. In other words, Abigail's black flames were the bane of any martial artist.Her journey in the martial world was still short—barely two years. She hadn't unlocked the full potential of her Phoenix bloodline yet. But with more training and experience, the sky was the limit for her."Don't try to console me, Sir. I'm n

With a resounding bang, the golden light erupted with a burst of terrifying energy wave. In an instant, the earth trembled, and fierce winds whipped through the air.Dustin and his sword were sent flying several yards. After landing, he stumbled back several steps before finally steadying himself.He looked up and saw that Abigail's body was now covered in a layer of golden armor, though he couldn't tell when it had happened. The armor glowed brightly, and it made her look imposing and striking.It was clearly a divine artifact.The Mystic Arts Order had been around for centuries, with deep roots and countless treasures. As the Grand Sorceress, Abigail would obviously have several divine artifacts for protection.Dustin wasn't surprised, but the armor's counterforce caught him off guard. Not only did it protect her, but it also had offensive capabilities.When his sword struck the armor earlier, the blow didn't leave a scratch. Instead, the armor absorbed the hit and sent the for

Dustin raised his hand as the black feathers rained down on him. A white energy shield flared into existence to form a wall before him.The feathers slammed into the shield and sent ripples across its surface but failed to break through. However, the black flames on the feathers spread across the shield and burned through its energy at a visible pace. In the blink of an eye, the once impenetrable barrier cracked open and left a gaping hole.Dustin couldn't hide his surprise. His mystical pure energy was far stronger than the average grandmaster's internal energy in offense and defense. It was meant to be impenetrable. He hadn't anticipated it couldn't hold up against Abigail's phoenix flame.Seeing the raw strength of her bloodline, he knew he couldn't afford to take any chances. As the black flames spread, he swiftly waved his hand to summon a furious gust of wind that sent the feathers and flames flying."Glaring Wings!" Abigail wasn't done yet. She quickly formed hand seals and

Abigail moved with lightning speed, and her figure weaved in and out like a shadow. Her swift movements left a blur of afterimages that was hard for anyone watching to keep up.On the contrary, Dustin stood still without making any movement."Fallen Fist!"After closing in, she unleashed a flurry of strikes—dozens of black palm shadows slamming toward his body, and each one was like a bullet aimed at its target.Abigail practiced a unique martial art, and it was imbued with voodoo-like properties that could kill anyone who made contact with her. But Dustin's body was immune to all poisons, so it was a perfect counter to her deadly attack.As the shadow palms closed in, he remained unshaken and thrust his palm forward.A fierce gust of wind surged and ripped through the air with unrelenting force. It collided with the black palm shadows.Abigail's black palm shadows exploded on impact and disintegrated into thick clouds of dark mist that quickly spread. Within moments, the mist e

The whole arena suddenly fell dead silent. Everyone stared blankly, and not a soul dared to breathe. Alloy shot to his feet in the main spectator seats, and his face was tense with worry. Yet, he didn't dare make a sound. He feared it might startle Glenn into making a mistake that could cost Fenley's life.After all, Fenley represented the future of the Celestial Alliance. Alloy had invested all his effort into Fenley, and he provided him with endless resources. If Fenley were to die in the match, it would deal a devastating blow to the entire guild.While Alloy was gripped with worry, Cyrus and Penelope cheered silently. They secretly hoped Glenn's sword would strike Fenley. If that happened, the Celestial Alliance would take at least a decade to regain its former glory.Fenley's body stiffened as he stared at the Fang Master hovering inches from him. A shiver ran through his spine as goosebumps prickled his skin. Sweat trickled down his face, and each drop hit the ground with a

"Glenn had only seven swords in the past. I didn't expect that in just one year, two more divine swords would recognize him as their master. This punk is much better than I was back then," Cyrus remarked. He stroked his chin with a look of surprise and approval. He had always believed in Glenn's potential, but Glenn's performance had still exceeded his expectations.After all, the more swords Glenn wielded, the stronger he became. He had already topped the Legendary List with just seven swords. Now, with nine, his strength had grown even more overwhelming."He truly is the Chosen One." Even Kaden couldn't help but sigh.The nine divine swords recognized their master and responded with ease. Glenn's talent and cultivation were leagues ahead of his peers.Every generation brought forth new talent, and the old had no choice but to step aside for the new generation. Compared to their time, today's youth were on another level—monsters in their own right."Now, this is going to be int

Compared to the second green sword, Glenn's third sword was even more powerful. As it descended, accompanied by the fury of a fire dragon, it carried the destructive force of a world-shattering storm.Fenley, whose energy flow was disrupted earlier, watched the fiery red long sword streak toward like a falling meteor. His heart raced and was gripped by a sudden sense of impending doom.With a roar, he risked the backlash effect and unleashed a powerful surge of internal energy. The ethereal divine spirit behind him instantly transformed into a figure with three heads and six arms. This was the complete form of the Four Elements of God's Technique.At that instant, he threw everything he had into the fight. He controlled the spirit to slam its giant arms into the flaming sword. With a loud explosion, the sword tore through the spirit's palms and continued its unyielding path toward Fenley. But its speed had slowed slightly.Without hesitation, he controlled the spirit to strike ag
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2390
When the spectators heard the match was about to begin, the excitement reached a fever pitch. Half of them cheered for Fenley while the other half chanted Glenn's name. Both were the Chosen Ones, and their popularity was undeniable. Everyone had been waiting for their face-off in the battle ring.Though Fenley ranked slightly below Glenn on the Legendary List, his fame and influence as the successor to the Celestial Alliance's guildmaster outshined Glenn's. Ultimately, the question of who was stronger could only be answered in the ring."I've been waiting for this day, Glenn." Fenley stared at him intently. His voice was powerful and commanding. He continued, "Others say I'm not your equal, but I refuse to believe it. Today, we'll find out whether your sword is faster or if my Four Elements of God's Technique is superior.""The moment you said that, you've already lost. Your doubt shows you lack the confidence to defeat me," Glenn replied calmly. If this were a fight-to-the-deat

After the quarterfinals, it was time for a break. With noon approaching, contestants and spectators needed food and water to recharge. An hour later, the venue was buzzing with excitement again as Oron stepped onto the battle ring. He was accompanied by a Sacred Wrym Summit disciple, who carried a black box filled with numbered balls."It's almost time. I'd like to invite the top four contestants to the ring to draw lots," Oron announced as he surveyed the crowd.Amidst a wave of enthusiastic applause, four figures ascended the battle ring one after another. First in line was Glenn, with Fenley right behind him, followed by Abigail and Dustin."Sir, we're in the semifinals. Good luck!" Abigail winked playfully at Dustin as she stepped into the ring."You too," he replied with a smile.Given Abigail's strength, her odds against Glenn were slim. However, if she faced Fenley, she would have a solid chance at victory.After all, Fenley had only just broken through to the ultimate g
