An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

The following day at Sacred Wyrm Summit, the spectators had already arrived as the first light of dawn began to glow in the sky.

Key figures from every faction and major guild poured in, with elites and experts gathering in large numbers. At that moment, Sacred Wyrm Summit was livelier than ever.

To the bigwigs, the previous Group C and B matches were mere warm-ups. The real spectacle that would shape the future was the showdown among the Group A geniuses.

After all, those who made it into Group A were either young grandmasters selected by major guilds. Alternatively, they were formidable fighters who had fought to the top from thousands of elite martial artists.

Hence, anyone from the 32 contestants in this round could be a future game- changer. Today’s matches, which narrowed the field from 32 to eight, were about selecting the best among the geniuses.

Naturally, the event captured everyone’s attention. Even the big shots who usually stayed out of the limelight made their appearances. The outcome of these battles was set to dictate the future direction of the martial world, and no one dared to take it lightly.

Dustin, Grace, and a few others had also arrived early at the tournament venue. As one of the top 32 contestants, Dustin would fight in the match that day.
