An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

“Thank you.” Crystal sheathed her sword and nodded at Aurora. She had to admit Aurora was a tough opponent.

Even though Aurora was a few years younger, their skills were almost on par. Crystal knew Aurora would become someone to watch out for in the future.

“Aurora lost? How…” Alicia was stunned and incredulous. She had anticipated Aurora’s victory, especially after using the Ennea Chorus technique. But in an instant, everything had changed.

“Her talent and strength are impressive, but she lacks experience. Although she lost, she learned a lot. I believe she’ll advance even faster from now on,” Fenley remarked impassively.

He appeared unfazed by the outcome. It was as if he had anticipated it.

Aurora’s cultivation level was on par with Crystal’s, but she lacked battle experience and mastery of technique. Her training was too diverse. She had a basic understanding of everything from hand-to-hand combat to various weapons but wasn’t proficient in any.

In contrast, Crystal had honed her swordsmanship to an exceptional level. She wielded her sword with unparalleled skill. When she struck Aurora with Tantrumia Slash, it was clear that she had the upper hand.

While being a jack-of-all-trades might seem impressive, weaknesses became apparent when facing experts. Instead of trying to master various skills, it was more effective to perfect one skill to an exceptional level.
