An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Jackson strolled through the palace corridors, his excitement uncontainable. "Dustin, I had no idea your skills were so impressive. Your sword technique just now was truly epic!"

While aware of Dustin's formidability, Jackson never comprehended the extent of his power. He could sense Dustin's cultivation level surpassing even Aidan's, leaving him utterly astonished.

Sophia smiled and remarked, "He's right. That single swing of your sword took down the black serpent.

"It caused a ripple effect, shaking things up in both the southwest and northwest forces. Your name is about to become a global sensation!" Her eyes held intense admiration for Dustin.

To her, Jackson was undeniably impressive, but he served as her backup. Now, with Dustin, a peerless genius, by her side, she felt confident in her next move.

"I just happened to stumble upon the black serpent's weak spot." Dustin smiled faintly.

Jackson intervened. "Don't downplay yourself, Dustin. The black serpent's defense is solid, and only a grandmaster martial artist can break through it.

"But you, with just one sword strike, effortlessly severed its head. That's a truly heroic feat, something we've never seen before!"

Dustin, trying to deflect compliments, chuckled. "Cut me some slack, Jackson. I'm shy, and compliments make me squirm."

Grace scoffed in disagreement.

"Seriously, though, your talent and strength deserve all the praise." Jackson laughed.

Sophia inquired, "Dustin, you're truly impressive. Could you share some tips with me?"

With a flirtatious tone, she batted her eyelashes, saying, "I've been having issues with my Harmony Saber, it doesn't seem as powerful as it should."

However, Dustin didn't spare her a glance. "I'm a swordsman and don't know much about blade techniques.
