An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

“Who the heck is this kid?” Oron glanced at his trembling hands and felt a chill run down his spine. He failed to gain the upper hand in the earlier clash with Dustin and suffered an unexpected setback.

He was already an ultimate grandmaster, with a cultivation and mastery of the Glow Incantation that surpassed Caleb’s. By all accounts, subduing a younger opponent should have been a piece of cake.

But that exchange just now had brought him to a stark realization- Dustin had been holding back this whole time and hadn’t used his full strength. Otherwise, Caleb wouldn’t have lasted this long.

The realization unsettled Oron. There were always extraordinary talents out there, but the potential Dustin had displayed was genuinely terrifying. To

put it plainly, he was a beast on the same level as Glenn.

“What happened? Why did the judge step in?”

“Can’t you see? Caleb has already lost. If the judge hadn’t stepped in, that sword would have killed him or left him severely injured.”

“Exactly! It would be a pity to see the most talented disciple of Sacred Wyrm Summit die here.”

“I thought Caleb would win, but Dustin changed the outcome with just one sword strike. It’s terrifying.”

The unexpected turn of events sent the spectators buzzing with chatter.
