An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

After the quarterfinals, it was time for a break. With noon approaching, contestants and spectators needed food and water to recharge.

An hour later, the venue was buzzing. with excitement again as Oron stepped onto the battle ring. He was accompanied by a Sacred Wrym Summit disciple, who carried a black box filled with numbered balls.

“It’s almost time. I’d like to invite the top four contestants to the ring to draw lots,” Oron announced as he surveyed the crowd.

Amidst a wave of enthusiastic applause, four figures ascended the battle ring one after another. First in line was Glenn, with Fenley right behind him, followed by Abigail and Dustin.

“Sir, we’re in the semifinals. Good luck! “Abigail winked playfully at Dustin as she stepped into the ring.

“You too,” he replied with a smile.

Given Abigail’s strength, her odds against Glenn were slim. However, if she faced Fenley, she would have a solid chance at victory.

After all, Fenley had only just broken through to the ultimate grandmaster level. In contrast, Abigail had been at that level for nearly a year.

With her Phoenix bloodline fully awakened, her abilities were at their peak. If she were given a few more years to develop, the possibilities for her future would be limitless.

“Glenn, I hope we’re paired together for a decisive showdown.” Fenley’s gaze was sharp and filled with fighting spirit.

Abigail and Dustin were insignificant in his eyes. Instead, Fenley regarded Glenn as his sole rival. If he could defeat Glenn, the championship title would be within his reach.

“You’d best abandon that thought, or you’ll face a crushing defeat,” Glenn replied impassively. To him, Fenley wasn’t a worthy opponent.

At that instant, Dustin sparked his curiosity. He had learned that Dustin was Seth’s disciple. 1
