An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

“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 hope Crystal would be the champion.

“Come on, Faith. Let’s place our bets too.” Alicia tugged Grace toward the betting ring. She intended to wager all her celestial stones on Aurora.

For Alicia, winning or losing the celestial stones didn’t matter since she only wanted to support her sister.
