An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

“Look! Veronica is stepping onto the ring.”

“Veronica has been perfecting her skills for ten years. She’s definitely going to make an impact this time!”

“Go, Veronica! Bring glory to the Celestial Alliance!”

The Celestial Alliance’s disciples cheered as they watched Veronica stride confidently onto the battle ring.

As the top guild of Dragonmarsh, its disciples took great pride in their status. To them, anyone from their guild was bound to be superior to opponents from another guild.

Aurora smiled and said confidently, ” With Veronica competing, this match should be a clear win for us.”

Given Veronica’s skills, she might struggle against a well-known genius, but her opponent was an unknown young martial artist. For someone of Veronica’s caliber, this was hardly a challenge.

“Her opponent is from the Mystic Arts Order, so we shouldn’t underestimate them.” Alicia shook her head slightly.

Veronica would have a clear advantage if it were just a matter of martial skills and cultivation. However, the Mystic Arts Order was known for its unpredictable and mysterious techniques. A lapse in vigilance could lead to a surprise attack, making the outcome of the match uncertain.

“The Mystic Arts Order disciples rarely participate in these matches, so this is a rare chance to see their true capabilities,” Fenley said with keen interest.

The Mystic Arts Order was the most mysterious of the three major guilds. Their disciples possessed profound cultivation and mastered a range of mystic arts.
