An Understated Dominance Chapter 2274
"Isn't Dalen being overly confident by not using the Evasio Incantation to face an ascetic priest head-on?" Aurora frowned. She had been rooting for him, but this unexpected decision caught her off guard."I don't think he's being reckless. If he agrees to this, he must have a solid plan," Alicia said thoughtfully.While she didn't fully grasp Dalen's strategy, she could sense his strength. Nevertheless, his overconfidence was a cause for concern."Okay, kid. Let's see how capable you are." On the battle ring, Thaddeus twirled his long blade. His true energy surged and filled the space with his imposing presence.The Voidcleaver in his hand emitted a blue glow and a low, ominous hum, with arcs of energy flickering around the blade. It was a daunting sight.Facing Thaddeus' charged attack, Dalen stood with one hand behind his back and the other lightly holding a folding fan.His expression remained serene. He seemed unaffected even under the weight bearing down on him."Stormstir
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2275
Dalen had provoked Thaddeus. When Thaddeus unleashed a powerful strike at the cost of his own lifespan, he pushed his cultivation to its limits. At that moment, he finally broke through and became a grandmaster martial artist.With the prowess of a grandmaster, he executed his strongest technique—Mountain Defenco. Hence, this strike was the deadliest move he had ever delivered.Thaddeus was confident that even if Dalen were a grandmaster martial artist, he wouldn't be able to withstand the attack unscathed.A powerful blue blade aura, accompanied by wind and thunder, surged toward Dalen with overwhelming force. Wherever it passed, skies darkened, thunder roared, and it seemed capable of cataclysmic destruction. However, Dalen remained unfazed. He calmly opened his folding fan and gently waved it at the incoming blue blade aura.Suddenly, a gentle breeze lifted into the air. It met the blue blade aura head-on, like a mouse trying to stop an elephant.Thaddeus's blade aura was imm

Thaddeus was defeated. After risking his life and mustering his final strength for one decisive blow, Dalen effortlessly overwhelmed him.Thaddeus had lost his will to fight. His body could endure no more, and he feared Dalen's unpredictable prowess.Despite Dalen's youth, his cultivation was ten times stronger than Thaddeus'. Even when Thaddeus gave everything he had, he couldn't penetrate Dalen's defenses.It was an overwhelming sense of despair. Even in his prime, Thaddeus wouldn't have had the confidence to continue the match.Thaddeus' words prompted the referee to declare the final result, "Contestant Number 5 concedes. Contestant Number 19 is the winner!"The arena echoed with cries of despair, curses, and insults."Dammit! What a useless ascetic priest. He couldn't even handle a pretty boy. Such a disgrace.""Father Savier? He should call himself a jester! All talk and no skill. What a waste!""Screw you! You made me lose everything. Why don't you just die already!"So

"Me?" Dustin was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Fenley to steer the conversation toward him.Still, he nodded and said, "Sir Hudson is right. With Dalen's talent and strength, he definitely has what it takes to challenge the top ten in the Legendary List." Dustin had a lot of faith in Dalen."Since he can earn such high praise from both of you, he must be someone worth keeping an eye on," Alicia said thoughtfully.Unfortunately, Dalen was from the Shadow Citadel. She might have convinced him to join the Celestial Alliance if he had come from a smaller guild."A handsome and capable talent like him is a rare find these days," Aurora remarked. Her eyes were sparkling with interest.While she wasn't instantly smitten with Dalen, his striking looks certainly made her take a second glance."We win. Crystal, did you see that? Mr. Shade won." Ruby jumped up excitedly when Dalen's victory was announced.Her joy came from his win and her successful bet. The thrill of winning

"Oh? It's them?" Dustin was surprised and raised an eyebrow when he saw Aurora and Crystal step onto the battle ring.He knew they had signed up for the tournament, but he hadn't expected them to face off against each other. One was a skilled disciple of the Sword Union, while the other was the daughter of the Celestial Alliance's guildmaster, Alloy.This elite showdown between two major guilds would be quite a spectacle."Fenley, do you think Aurora has a shot at winning?" Alicia asked suddenly.He shook his head and replied, "It's hard to say."He continued, "Aurora's opponent isn't someone to underestimate. If I'm not mistaken, she's a Sword Union disciple. Her sharp gaze and strong presence suggest her cultivation is quite advanced.""A Sword Union disciple? That sounds like trouble," Alicia said, frowning. Despite their small numbers, members of the Sword Union were carefully hand-picked elites. They shouldn't be underestimated, regardless of age or gender.In the past, t

"Miles, don't worry. You know how strong Crystal is. Handling that little missy should be a piece of cake!" Ruby said.Seeing the concern on his face, she couldn't help but offer some reassurance. "Relax, Crystal will definitely win this match. Trust me."Crystal wasn't just naturally talented but also extremely diligent. She has prepared thoroughly for the Combat Tournament. While winning the championship wasn't guaranteed, Ruby was confident Crystal would advance to Group A and compete against the top talents."I hope so," he said with a forced smile. He had full confidence in Crystal's abilities. He would bet everything on her if she faced a slightly weaker opponent. But her opponent was Aurora—the daughter of Alloy, guildmaster of the Celestial Alliance. Aurora had been rigorously trained since childhood. So, she matched Crystal in cultivation level, combat skills, and secret techniques.With these two facing off, it was hard to predict who would win. Miles could only hop
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2280
Aurora's strikes were swift, but Crystal's reflexes matched them. As Aurora's crescent blades sliced through the air, Crystal's sword was already in motion."Windbreaker Slash!" Crystal called out as her longsword trembled violently. A flurry of sword shadows appeared and clashed fiercely against Aurora's dual blades like a raging wind.The metallic clangs echoed as Aurora's attack was instantly deflected.Crystal lunged forward from behind the dissipating shadows and aimed her sword at Aurora's chest and abdomen. With the remaining shadows masking her move, the thrust was silent and undetectable. It was deceptively harmless but filled with hidden danger."Aurora, watch out!" Alicia's expression changed.She recognized Crystal's skill in swordsmanship and extensive combat experience. With a single deceptive move, Crystal shifted from defense to offense and took control of the match."Huh?" Aurora's eyes widened in shock. She didn't need Alicia's warning, as her instincts had al
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2281
"Hmm?" Crystal frowned as she watched the strands of hair flutter down from above.Aurora's unexpected Boomerang Slash had caught Crystal off guard. She had narrowly avoided a hit by quickly ducking her head.If she had been just a bit slower, it wouldn't have been just her hair but possibly her head.Despite Aurora's young age, her skills were impressive. This realization prompted Crystal to approach the situation with greater caution."Quick reflexes," Aurora commented as she smoothly retrieved her weapon with a flick of her wrist.The technique she had just executed was a signature move of her own creation. It was challenging for anyone encountering it for the first time. The fact that Crystal had managed to evade it just in time disappointed her."Your technique is decent but lacks refinement," Crystal remarked coldly.If Aurora's earlier move had been more precise, she might not have evaded so easily."Really? Let's see if you can handle this!" Aurora snorted and charged a

"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
Chapter 2516
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

"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
Chapter 2514
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
Chapter 2511
"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

Mulder's body trembled, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. His energy drained, and his entire being seemed to collapse.Dustin's finger flick had not only shattered his sword but also injured his internal organs. With the effects of the enhanced serum wearing off, Mulder was now back to his original state and completely spent.His once-powerful frame now shrank like a punctured balloon. He looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant. Mulder could no longer fight. Even standing up was a challenge."He's finished," Dustin said coolly, then looked at Warrick. "Now it's your turn.""Hmm?" Warrick frowned, and his expression turned serious.Dustin's display of strength earlier had made him feel a sense of crisis. If they fought head-on, there was no telling who would come out on top.But Warrick was just one step away from escaping West Lucozia, bound for Artea and a life of freedom and luxury. He had no intention of risking his life in battle unless he absolutely
