An Understated Dominance Chapter 1284
Brooke eyed Dustin to determine if he was telling the truth but could not find any inconsistencies. He asked intently, "Why should I trust you?""Dr. Busch, if I wanted revenge, I'd end both of you by now," Dustin responded. He flicked his finger, and a bolt of energy shot out. It shattered a flower vase on the windowsill with a bang."What?" Brooke's eyes widened, and his expression turned grim. He knew that the ability to manifest his energy meant Dustin was a strong martial artist. Brooke knew he couldn't stop Dustin if he had bad intentions. So, he had to trust Dustin at this point."Dr. Busch, I'm sorry for startling you. Please forgive me," Dustin apologized again."Very well! I believe you now. Unfortunately, you are too late, though," Brooke said. He stepped aside and looked at the bed where Cinna lay. "Cinna has been vegetative for ten years and has not woken up. I have tried many treatments, none have been successful.""Dr. Busch, let me try. I have some divine

"It's not easy, but I can cure Mr. Shaffer," Dustin said earnestly. "And I need your help, too.""Kid, if you can really cure Cinna, I'd sell Harmony Healers in a heartbeat," Brooke sighed. Then he asked, "Why do you think you can do it?"Brooke just met Dustin, so he had to be cautious. He could not make a rash decision since Cinna's life was at stake. "Well, you mentioned that Mr. Shaffer has some residual energy in him. If I remove the energy, would that prove I can heal him?" Dustin asked.Brooke's gaze sharpened. "That energy is very strong, and regular medical skills won't work. Don't make any empty promises."If it were that easy, Brooke would have already gotten rid of it sooner."I can't do it with regular medical skills, but I can with esoteric technique," Dustin explained earnestly. "Dr. Busch, give me half an hour. I'll be able to remove this energy. You'll see."Brooke hesitated, his brows furrowing. He was not sure if he could trust Dustin. Dustin was too you

Dustin gathered his mystical pure energy, gradually flowing it into Cinna's circulatory pathways.Cinna's heart sped up as a sudden surge of true energy clashed against Dustin's pure energy. As their energies collided, Cinna twitched as if he had been electrified.Dustin frowned and directed his pure energy to drain the ethereal soul seal's energy slowly. He couldn't risk overpowering the seal's power in one go. The seal's power was violent, like a beast, ready to devour any intruders. As he continued to drain the seal's energy, he replaced it with his true energy until the seal weakened.As time passed, Dustin continued to channel his true energy into Cinna. His forehead began to sweat, and his face went pale. He was drained and exhausted. Normally, this would have been manageable. But Dustin had to protect Cinna as he drained the seal's power, making it twice as exhausting.Cinna's heartbeat quickened as his face flushed. He perspired when his head emitted a white mist.
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1287
When Dustin's finger touched Cinna's chest, he trembled. Blood gushed out of his mouth and nose as his circulatory pathways shattered. His weakened body was in danger, and his life hung on by a thread.The ethereal soul seal immediately crumbled beneath Dustin's finger."Cinna!" Brooke was pale and trembling. He rushed forward to check Cinna's condition. After Brooke was sure Cinna was alive, he regained his composure. "Dustin! I warned you not to be reckless. "Do you know you nearly killed Cinna?" He scolded Dustin relentlessly.Dustin collapsed back on the chair, gasping for breath and sweating profusely. After catching his breath, he said slowly, "The situation was more complicated than I expected. Despite the risks I took, I successfully neutralized Mr. Shaffer's true energy.""Neutralized?" Brooke was taken aback and immediately checked Cinna's pulse. Although his vitals were weak, the violent energy was gone."Is it neutralized? How is that possible?" Brooke was surp
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1288
Dustin turned serious and said, "But, it's too soon to say I've saved him. "I have neutralized the true energy inside Mr. Shaffer, but his body has been severely damaged. His eight vital meridians are seriously injured. "He's like a living corpse right now. We must restore his circulatory pathways and rejuvenate his body for him to wake up.""Restoring his circulatory pathways and rejuvenating his body?" Brooke inquired, furrowing his brow. "We would need the legendary sacred medicine Sanctifix, which has been missing for ages. Where can we find it?"In ancient texts, Sanctifix was a medicine that could revitalize people. It could repair damaged circulatory pathways and congenital disabilities. Unfortunately, it was extremely rare. Even Brooke had only heard of it but had never seen it.Out of nowhere, Dustin blurted out, "I've seen the formula for Sanctifix, and I've written it down.""What?" Brooke widened his eyes in shock. "Yo—you know the formula?"Dustin nodded. "M
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1289
Brooke's question caught Dustin off guard. What could he not do? He could do Martial arts, medicine, alchemy, occult arts, secret techniques, southern mystic arts, and many others. There was nothing he couldn't do. "Well, I've read many books and have a good basic understanding of things," Dustin replied humbly."A basic understanding?" Brooke raised his brows, looking curious. At a young age, he can manifest energy, a skill of divine-level martial artists. And he called this a basic understanding? The energy trapped in Cinna's body had troubled Brooke for ten years. But yet, Dustin had neutralized it with a touch. And that's just a basic understanding? Dustin knew a top-notch alchemical recipe and could make Sanctifix. This would outshine the best alchemists in Dragonmarsh. And that's also a basic understanding? If all of that were just a basic understanding, everyone else was nothing compared to him. Dustin's modesty was intimidating."Dr. Busch, even though I can brew

Harper couldn't understand why Brooke had shown this secret place to someone he had only met."Well ..." Brooke hesitated, feeling awkward. He couldn't just say that Dustin had barged in.Dustin explained, "I'm here to visit my uncle, Cinna." "That's right, this is Mr. Rhys, Cinna's nephew. It's only natural for him to visit his uncle," Brooke said solemnly."Nephew? Uncle?" Harper looked at Dustin suspiciously. "Grandpa, are you sure he's not lying? Mr. Shaffer has been in a coma for ten years. "And suddenly, his nephew shows up to visit. Don't you think something fishy is going on?""You're overreacting. I trust Mr. Rhys is not a bad man," Brooke said firmly, dismissing her doubts."But—!" Harper was about to say more, but Brooke held his hand to cut her off. "Enough, let's talk about this later. "You said there was a problem downstairs. What happened?""Oh, that bastard, Ziggy Larkspur, is back. He claims that the medicine you prescribed him last time worsens his con
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1291
"Mr. Larkspur, it's been a while. Why are you so mad? Maybe I can make you some tea to calm your nerves."Brooke, Dustin, and Harper walked down the stairs, noting the chaos in the medical center. Brooke's brow furrowed, but he quickly composed himself."Hey, Dr. Busch, I see you've decided to show up. I thought you were turning into a chicken," Ziggy smirked, crossing his legs."I don't think I did anything to offend you. It isn't the best way to handle things by causing a scene," Brooke calmly replied."I'm here to get medical treatment. Are you saying I'm not welcome as a patient here at Harmony Healers?" Ziggy provoked."If you're here for treatment, I would be delighted to have you. But I'm afraid, Mr. Larkspur, you are not just here for the treatment," Brooke replied."Enough of this; let's talk about my treatment now." Ziggy was unbuttoning his shirt to reveal a festering wound on his abdomen. He pointed at the wound. "Dr. Busch, you promised me your golden salve would h

Poseidon scoffed. "You're so full of yourself." The surrounding seawater surged violently. It transformed into countless razor-sharp water spikes and whistled toward Dustin. The deadly edges glinted under the sunlight. Like a silver rainstorm, the barrage swallowed every inch of space around him.Dustin's sharp gaze locked onto the incoming strikes. With a light swing of the Celestial Blade, a streak of black sword aura shot out. Every water spike in its path shattered into mist and rained down in a cascade of droplets.However, Poseidon refused to relent. His attacks came in endless waves, an unbroken torrent.He gripped his trident with both hands and spun it, creating several blue energy rings. Each one expanded rapidly and surged toward Dustin like crashing waves.Dustin's figure flickered and vanished from his spot. The next second, he reappeared just outside the energy rings.Hovering in midair, he spun at incredible speed. The Celestial Blade in his hand turned into a b

"Logan, I have to admit that you're stronger than I thought. I never expected you'd push me this far," Poseidon said.His arms slowly spread wide, and his blue eyes glowed with murderous intent. "As a mark of respect, I will give it everything I've got. You'll witness the true extent of my power."With a flick of his hand, he made a grabbing gesture. His trident, which had fallen to the bottom of the sea, shot back up through the water and landed firmly in his grasp.Compared to his earlier arrogance, Poseidon now stood with a newfound seriousness. It wasn't just Dustin's strength that had him on edge but his terrifying potential.At only 20, Dustin already possessed this level of strength. If he continued to grow, he would become a serious threat to the Hall of Gods. Hence, Poseidon resolved to eliminate him today."Watch closely," he said.Poseidon slowly raised his trident and gripped it like a javelin. While channeling his energy into the weapon, it pulsed with an intense blu

Dustin was Dragonmarsh's elite prodigy, while Poseidon was the famous royal god of the Hall of Gods.Every move they exchanged unleashed destructive power. Within moments, the area within a 300-foot radius was reduced to wreckage.Dustin wielded his true energy-infused longsword. Each swing unleashed a blinding flare of light as if it could split the sky apart with the Celestial Blade.On the contrary, Poseidon's trident commanded the winds and rains. Each strike could summon huge rolling waves as if he were a god reigning over the forces of nature.Sword aura clashed against walls of water and plunged the entire area into chaos.Warrick and the others watched with rapt attention. Their eyes were locked on the battle ahead as they tried to make sense of the chaos.But Dustin and Poseidon were moving so fast that their actions were almost impossible to follow. Their movements blurred together, and they could only catch flashes of two figures constantly clashing. Their strikes ca
Chapter 2515
"Let me correct you," Dustin said.As his hand slowly tightened into a fist, a white longsword formed from his true energy. "In Dragonmarsh, there is no 'God. ' We only have the Lord of the Dead."The moment the words left his mouth, a tempest of sword aura exploded outward. Within a radius of several dozen yards, the winds howled, sand and stones were sent flying, and the waves along the shore grew even more violent."Such overwhelming pressure. That sword aura is insane. Is this Logan's actual strength?"Feeling the surge of energy, Warrick and the others couldn't help but turn pale. It was then they realized that Dustin hadn't been fighting seriously before. Or perhaps, with their strength, they hadn't even earned the right to make him fight for real. They figured only someone of Poseidon's caliber could force Dustin to go all out."Interesting… truly fascinating." Poseidon suddenly laughed. "I thought you were just a pup, but it turns out you're a hungry wolf. Now, this is s

Poseidon hovered in the air with his trident in one hand and radiated a commanding presence. He stood like a god, and his figure was so intimidating that it struck fear into those who beheld him.With a wave of his hand, an invisible energy struck Warrick and expelled the three silver needles from his body. Feeling sensation returned to his limbs, Warrick's face lit up. He quickly rose to his feet and clenched his fist to his chest in salute."Thank you, Lord Poseidon, for saving me. I will never forget this kindness!" he said."No need for formalities, Sir Prescott. Now that you've pledged yourself to the Hall of Gods, it's only natural that I ensure your safety," Poseidon replied with a faint smile as he descended gracefully."Your timely arrival was a blessing," Warrick said as he bowed his head slightly in deference. "Otherwise, we would have perished tonight."The Hall of Gods' royal gods were figures he could only look up to. Everything about Poseidon, from his power to hi

Mulder knew Warrick had been on the battlefield for years, and his physical strength was unmatched. On top of that, he was already halfway to becoming an ultimate grandmaster. Even if Warrick couldn't defeat the prodigious Logan, Mulder figured the difference wouldn't be too big. But he never expected Logan to take down Warrick with a single finger, leaving him severely injured and unable to stand. The difference in their strength was far beyond anything Mulder could have imagined.In other words, Logan had been toying with them from the start and didn't take the fight seriously. If he had, they would've all been dead.Warrick clutched his chest and coughed up blood as he staggered to his feet. His chest was a charred ruin, the flesh torn open and slick with blood. It was an awful, gory mess."I didn't expect you to be this strong. I underestimated you," he growled.He slowly raised his head, and his face twisted with a menacing look. "Guess I was just unlucky to fall into your
Chapter 2512
"Oh? You guessed it?" Dustin smirked. "Now that you know who I am, it's up to you to decide what to do."If Warrick chose to surrender, Dustin would simply seal his pressure points and leave him to Austin's judgment. But if he resisted, Dustin wouldn't hesitate to cripple him."Haven't you given up your title as the prince? Why did you return? Are you going to compete with Austin for the throne?" Warrick asked.Uncertainty flickered across his face before he continued, "If that's your intention, I can help you. Spare me today, and I guarantee you'll become the next Prince of West Lucozia."Power was a tempting beast. History was filled with stories of brothers turning against each other and fathers murdering their sons for it.In Warrick's mind, Logan's quiet return to West Lucozia meant one thing—he was after the throne."Guarantee?" Dustin scoffed. "What guarantee are you offering?" His voice was dripping with disdain. "You're a cornered rat now. You're barely holding on to you

"Warrick's blade technique is terrifying," Mulder mumbled. "This should be the finishing blow, right?"Watching from a distance, he was awestruck by the dazzling blade aura. Only now did he truly grasp the sheer gulf between Warrick and Dustin.Warrick's strike descended with such overwhelming force that it seemed to split the earth and obliterate everything in its path. Even from 300 feet away, the pressure rolling off it sent a chill down Mulder's spine.Under Mulder's stunned gaze, Warrick brought his full weight down, with blade and body merging into a single force that swallowed Dustin whole.The instant they clashed, an incandescent explosion of light erupted. It was so blinding that Mulder couldn't even open his eyes.A split second later, a deafening blast erupted, and a shockwave shot outward like a tidal surge. The force flattened the waves and overturned several fishing boats docked at the pier.Even Mulder, more than 300 feet away, was caught in the blast and tumbled

"So what if I am? And what if I push even further?" Dustin's smile slowly faded. "If you don't like it, do something about it."There was no reasoning with tyrants like Warrick."Punk, are you really willing to risk your life against me? Have you ever considered what happens if you lose?" Warrick's face turned grim as a wave of killing intent spread from him.He had already taken a step back to avoid unnecessary trouble. If Dustin refused to back down, there was no choice but to fight."Cut the crap. You wanna fight, fight." Dustin didn't bother with more words. With a flick of his wrist, a silver needle shot out and aimed toward Warrick's forehead—silent, unassuming, but deadly."Hmm?" Warrick's brow furrowed as he instinctively raised his arm. Sparks flew as the needle deflected off his arm and buried into the ground."Oh? You've mastered the Adamantine Body Technique?" Dustin narrowed his eyes. At that instant, he saw through Warrick's technique. Not only was he halfway
