An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

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.

However, before the matches began, they had to draw lots as per the tournament rules. There were 32 numbered tiles, each representing a contestant.

The contestants would match in an opposing bracket format. In simple terms, contestant number one faced number 32, contestant number two faced number 31, contestant number three faced number 30, and so on.

After the first round of matches determined the top 16, another draw would be held to decide the matchups for the top eight. The draw was completely random, so luck played a significant role alongside skill.
