An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

A burst of blue light exploded, creating a dome of lightning that enveloped the battle ring. Waves of explosive energy hammered against the barrier like relentless tides. The shield trembled violently for several breaths before finally stabilizing.

The spectators below exhaled in relief, but their hearts were still racing. If it weren’t for Oron’s quick reaction, the leaked energy from that explosion could have put them all at risk.

After all, Fenley was an ultimate grandmaster. Even a casual strike from him could be lethal.

On the battle ring, everything changed after the dust settled.

Fenley stood tall and looked imposing. His robes billowed like the wings of an angel. The ethereal divine spirit behind him flickered to life, and its sharp gaze added an intimidating edge to his formidable stance.

In contrast, Dalen was thrown back ten yards after the collision. His handsome face turned pale, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and his arms trembled uncontrollably.

“The gap is wider than I thought,” he lamented silently.

He could feel that Fenley was significantly stronger today compared to his performance yesterday. Even before Fenley broke through to the next level, Dalen’s chances of victory had been slim. Now, they were virtually nonexistent.

“You were able to withstand my Fury of Fire God. I must admit you’re impressive.” With a piercing gaze, Fenley continued, “In the past, it would have been tough for me to beat you. But now, there’s a clear gap in our levels.

Any resistance on your part is pointless.
