An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

The once frail Marcell began to undergo a rapid transformation. His muscles and bones grew at an astonishing pace. In the blink of an eye, his height jumped from five feet three inches to nearly six feet, and he kept growing.

His once skeletal frame rapidly filled with dense muscle, and his skin stretched taut as if it might tear. His hunched back straightened, and his entire frame became incredibly imposing.

Within just a few seconds, Marcell had transformed into a completely different person. Standing close to six feet five inches, his muscles bulged, his eyes burned with bloodlust, and he radiated a terrifying presence. If he had once been a frail wildcat, now he was a ruthless tiger.

At that instant, Marcell was surrounded by swirling dark energy. His face twisted into a menacing and bloodthirsty expression. He looked like a demon straight out of hell.

“It is so delicious.” Marcell licked his lips after absorbing the surrounding death energy and resentment.

The Soul Abyss Technique was his ultimate trump card, which he rarely used. Each time he used it, his lifespan was shortened. But this time, he had no choice.

After consuming the death energy around him, this technique temporarily boosted his strength. Now, he was at the level of an Ultimate Grandmaster. Although the effect would only last half an hour, it was more than enough to deal with Aven.

“Such an evil technique! You must be eradicated!” Aven’s expression hardened as he stared at Marcell’s new form; his murderous intent was unmistakable

He was well aware of the Soul Abyss Technique-an evil martial art technique that thrived on human sacrifice to boost its power. The more lives taken around its wielder, the stronger they became.

Years ago, a notorious villain used this technique and wreaked havoc in the martial world. Only when Aven’s senior, Arion, intervened was the villain finally killed.

Now that Aven was facing the successor of this dark technique, he had no intention of showing mercy.

“You think you can kill me? Let’s see if you have what it takes.” Marcell grinned wickedly.
