An Understated Dominance Chapter 962
At 7:00 pm, Dustin, Abigail, and Azalea arrived as planned at the resort's restaurant. The restaurant was spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people. Dustin noticed that there were already groups of people sitting together, chatting lively. While there were a few tourists, most of the guests were martial artists who came for the treasure. "Over here!" Vanessa called out as she waved at them energetically. Dustin nodded in acknowledgment and led the others to her table. "I'm glad you could make it. Please take a seat," Emily greeted warmly. Nathan, who had appeared aloof earlier, perked up upon seeing Abigail and Azalea. He straightened up and tried to strike a handsome pose. "Allow me to introduce my friends, Abigail Robinson and Azalea Larson. "I hope you also don't mind having them, Ms. Hoyles." Dustin made a brief introduction. "Of course not. The more, the merrier. Please, have a seat." Emily smiled and gestured for them to sit."Thank you." Dustin nodde

"Of course, even though these folks seem tough, we aren't afraid of them," Emily continued. "But the real concerns are Boulderthorn, the Combat Priests, the Zen Order, and the Soul Reapers. Oh, there's another person we must be careful of!""Who?" Abigail asked curiously. "The young genius who recently gained fame after winning against Sir Augustus Kline!" Emily gushed. "What?" Abigail blinked in surprise. Emily was referring to Dustin, right?Abigail looked at Dustin subtly. He replied by shaking his head discreetly. They needed to lie low during their journey to avoid being targeted. "Ms. Hoyles, have you ever met him?" Azalea smiled mischievously. "Of course not. But I've heard plenty of stories," Emily replied dreamily. "Rumors say he's handsome and has a strong sense of justice. More importantly, he's only in his early twenties but is already a grandmaster. "He's one of Balerno's rare talents and desired by many female martial artists!"Emily's eyes glimmered

"What?" Nathan was caught off guard by the sudden attack. He touched his forehead, and blood coated his fingers. Without his energy armor, his body was slightly stronger than average. "Who the fuck did this?" Nathan spun around and shouted angrily. "Damn it! How dare someone hurt Nathan!" Azure Mist's disciple stood up furiously. "Me." A man wearing flashy sunglasses arrived with two martial artists in tow. His calm demeanor suggested he didn't care about anyone else. "Do you know who I am? How dare you attack me!" Nathan snapped. "Well, I have no idea. Who are you?" The other man smiled, seeming amused. "Listen up! I'm Nathan Hoyles, one of Lester's Supreme Ten! I'm also known as the Little Dragon!" Nathan stated confidently. "Lester's Supreme Ten? The Little Dragon?" The man in sunglasses blinked before chuckling. "Big reputation you have there. I'm terrified."The two martial artists with him laughed simultaneously. "How dare you!" Angry, Azure Mist's disciple

"Sure, but I've got a condition," Ken answered, raising an eyebrow. "What is it?" Emily asked with a smile. "I want you and the two other girls to come and drink with me. I'll let this slide if you make me happy." Ken smirked. Girls like them weren't ordinary, much less three. There was no way Ken would miss this chance. "But …" Emily's smile froze. She knew what he wanted. It would be hard for them to get away after drinking with him."Why? Are you going to refuse?" Ken's face turned hard as he warned, "I don't like being rejected, so you'd better think carefully.""It's an honor to drink with Mr. Shonde, so you'd better not refuse!" one of Ken's lackeys warned. "I'll join you, Mr. Shonde, but the other two ladies should sit this out." Emily bargained, wanting to avoid getting others involved. "Are you telling me what to do?" Ken snapped in annoyance. "I said all three. You better serve me tonight!""Hey, don't push it!" Abigail was unable to hold herself back and
An Understated Dominance Chapter 966
Everyone was astonished to see Ken being thrown back. Nobody expected Dustin to be so bold. After all, this was Ken Shonde, the son of Regalswords' leader, and hitting Ian Shonde's son was risky. "Are you crazy? How could you hit Mr. Shonde?" Nathan sprung up, shocked. He had endured all the humiliation just now, yet Dustin slapped Ken without care. This would bring trouble to all of them. "Shit! This is bad!" Emily paled. She'd warned Dustin, hoping he would hold himself back, but he didn't. They'd be in trouble if Regalswords retaliated."How dare you hit Mr. Shonde! We'll kill you!" The two furious Regalswords martial artists began attacking Dustin. "Let me handle this!" Abigail grabbed her metal club and fought them. Her natural talent and Dustin's training made her far stronger than her opponents, especially when she used the staff combat technique. Soon, the two men, who had climbed the ranks through flattery instead of actual skill, fell to the ground. They were
An Understated Dominance Chapter 967
The slaps disfigured Ken's face, leaving him unrecognizable. There was a bigger issue now. Ken was highly regarded as the son of Regalswords' guildmaster and was well-feared. So, how could Dustin hit him? Was Dustin out of his mind?"Stop right now!" Emily finally stepped in. At this point, Ken had already been reduced to a bloody, unconscious mess. "You've gotten us into trouble now, Mr. Rhys!" Emily exclaimed, helping Ken up. She began administering medication and other techniques to wake him up. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that if anything were to happen to Ken, Azure Mist would also be doomed. "Damn it, we shouldn't have sat with you! You only bring disaster!" Nathan shouted anxiously. Why the fuck did they have to cross paths with a maniac like Dustin, who didn't give a shit about Ken's status or Regalswords' authority? Dustin must be crazy!"You'll be in trouble now that you beat Ken up, so you need to run away. "Hurry, or it'll be too late!" Vanessa
An Understated Dominance Chapter 968
"I'm in trouble now!" A wave of unease washed over Ian, the strongest martial artist in Lester, as he met Dustin's cold gaze. Ian couldn't help being worried about getting beaten up. "What are you waiting for, Dad? Tear him to pieces! "You have to teach him a lesson!" Ken seethed. "Shut up!" Ian slapped his son angrily. Ken staggered backward, his remaining teeth flying away as well. His eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "W—why did you hit me, Dad?" He couldn't understand why he'd been smacked. His father usually wouldn't speak harshly to him, so what was happening? How could Ian slap him in public?"Don't you deserve to be disciplined after ruining Regalswords' reputation by bullying others? "I should teach you a lesson for embarrassing me!" Ian snapped, delivering another two slaps. "Pissed, he began kicking his son as well. Ken's pained screams filled the air under Ian's relentless attack. Ian was so violent that outsiders might have mistaken the two of
An Understated Dominance Chapter 969
Emily, Nathan, and the rest looked surprised and at a loss.That was Ian Shonde, the great leader of Regalswords and the best martial artist in Lester! A person like him had apologized to them? Were they imagining this?"Sir Shonde, you better teach him a good lesson once you return. It'll be too late if he gets into bigger trouble," Dustin said.Everyone was rendered speechless and stared at Dustin in disbelief.Damn it! Has the bastard gone mad? How dare he openly lecture Ian? Was he not afraid that he'd be killed? How bold!"Hey! Do you have a death wish? Shut your mouth!" Nathan was so shocked that he almost cursed at Dustin.It was good enough that Ian did not blame him for beating Ken. But this bastard was going overboard!How dare he criticize Sir Shonde in front of so many people? He didn't know what's good for him."Dustin, apologize to Sir Shonde immediately!" Emily signaled at him furiously from the side.She felt a headache coming due to Dustin's reckless act

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Dustin and Glenn stepped onto the battle ring. They stood about 30 feet apart, and their eyes locked across the distance. Their gazes met like sparks, and they could feel the weight of the other's stare."Are you Logan?" Glenn asked, breaking the silence.He had heard the rumors about this dark horse before stepping into the ring, but now that he was facing him, he wasn't sure."Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is who wins this fight." Dustin didn't confirm or deny it, but his words left Glenn with no doubt.Both men were at the top of the Legendary List and held equal rank on the Champ-Tier List. Until they fought, no one could say who was the stronger of the two."I heard you're Seth's disciple, so I'm really looking forward to this." Glenn's gaze sharpened.Many years ago, his mentor, Cyrus, was defeated by Seth. That loss had always haunted Cyrus ever since. Now, with the disciples of both men about to face off, Glenn was determin

"Since Madam Penelope has spoken, I’ll follow her lead," Alloy said with a smile. "What about Mr. Hadley and Sage Foyer?""I'm in if you want to make a bet," Cyrus replied coolly."It's not every day we get an opportunity like this. Let me stir things up a bit." Kaden nodded with a grin.Once the three had agreed, Penelope waved for Abigail to come over.Soon, Abigail approached them with a wide grin. "Esteemed guests, I hear you want to bet. The current odds are—bet on Dustin to win, and you'll get 1.6 times your stake. Bet on Glenn, and it's only 0.4."She continued, "And no worries—if you win, I'll exchange your winnings for celestial stones." Abigail smiled brightly, and the other parties' eyes gleamed with the unmistakable shine of greed.Many had already placed their bets with her. Though she couldn't control the match's outcome, she knew how to adjust the odds to her advantage. Over time, that could turn into a huge fortune."I'm betting on Glenn to win." Cyrus quickly

"We're ready for the ultimate showdown of this tournament. The winner will be crowned the Combat Tournament Champion. Now, let's welcome both contestants to the ring." Oron's voice thundered as he stepped onto the battle ring.There was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.The long-awaited showdown was finally at hand. Today's outcome wasn't just about personal glory, but it would also decide the future of the martial world.If Glenn triumphed and claimed the crown, the Sword Union would rise as the undisputed guild. The Celestial Alliance and the Mystic Arts Order would have no choice but to bow to their supremacy.But if Dustin won, it would be even more sensational. A dark horse, without any guild affiliation, defeating the elite disciples of the major guild—such a story would send shockwaves through the martial world.Once that happened, every major guild would fight tooth and nail to claim him. It would spark a fierce battle for dominance."Dr. Rhys! Good luck!"

"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
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2396
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
