An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Veronica was unwilling to accept her loss in this match. In terms of raw strength, she was unquestionably stronger than Azalea, with at least an 80% chance of winning in a direct confrontation. But Azalea’s arsenal of divine artifacts, pills, and unpredictable techniques made her nearly impossible to defend against..

In the end, Veronica was worn down and had no choice but to concede. The frustration gnawed at her.

“Mr. Marshall, it seems your Celestial Alliance disciples aren’t as formidable as they’re made out to be,” Cyrus said with a smirk.

He had been at odds with Alloy for years. They were constantly competing in the open and behind the scenes.

Hence, Cyrus was happy to watch Alloy stumble.

“One unexpected loss doesn’t mean much. Besides, your Sword Union may not fare any better,” Alloy responded calmly.

Veronica was his favorite disciple, so her early defeat blew his pride.

“Really? Then, let’s see who wins in the end.” Cyrus smiled. He couldn’t wait to see Alloy’s reaction when Fenley lost to Glenn.

Aurora sighed and looked disappointed. “I didn’t expect this outcome. It’s such a shame.”

She believed that victory was almost inevitable with Veronica’s advanced cultivation and exceptional spear skills. But losing just like that was hard to accept.

“Veronica did her best. It’s just that the Mystic Arts Order disciple had too many tricks up her sleeve. She played to her strengths and happened to counter Veronica perfectly, which led to this result,” Alicia said, shaking her head.
