"Dustin, you must show them what you got and make a name for yourself. Show the world what it means to be unparalleled and unmatched!" Gazing at his tall figure with admiration and adoration, Josie murmured to herself. A real man should aim for remarkable achievements that would be remembered for generations. Marching forward courageously, they were undaunted by the challenges and obstacles ahead. That was what a true man was all about!"So he dares challenge the leader of the alliance. Today would be the day he dies!" Lance muttered darkly under his breath. He only prayed that Ronald would kill Dustin as soon as he went up on stage. "Hmph! He would end up dead anyway. He just lived a few minutes longer." Quincey grinned wickedly. His expression was extremely hostile. "Dustin, please be safe!" Lyn clasped her hands together in a silent prayer. "What the hell? He really went up? Does he think he has what it takes to defeat the leader?" Toddy frowned, filled with jealousy a

"Young man, as long as you join us, I'll make sure to assign you a venerated role." Woody proposed a tempting offer. In the Martial Arts Union, a venerated role was higher than an official. Dustin would enjoy a rapid promotion and advance by two ranks immediately. "I'm sorry, I'm still not interested." Dustin shook his head once more.Woody frowned at being rejected repeatedly. He didn't expect Dustin to be this ungrateful when he had been extremely accommodating. "No way. What is he thinking? He's declining a venerated role in the union?""Being favored by the union is a great honor, but this guy is not appreciative! He's so ignorant!" "Hmph! What's a young grandmaster in front of the union? They're nothing but country bumpkins!"A few jealous martial artists commented on the situation. Most martial artists saw an offer from the union as the highest honor one could receive. However, Dustin declined the offer repeatedly, showing complete disregard for the union. He was t

What did he say? Wasn't he challenging the leader of the alliance for power and position? Wasn't he doing it to make a name for himself?Why did it sound like he was here to seek revenge? Was there a conflict between them? "How dare you openly insult our leader? It's simply unforgivable!" Quincey yelled as he rose angrily from his seat. The members of the alliance were also clamoring indignantly. Ronald was the face of the alliance. Naturally, no one could tolerate it when their leader was being slandered."That's enough, everyone calm down." Ronald raised his hand to silence the noise. Remaining unfazed, he continued, "Dustin, justice is clear. I have always acted honorably. Do you think a few accusations can tarnish my reputation?""Accusations? Hmph!" Dustin snorted. "You betrayed and killed your master. You're worse than an animal! A hypocrite like you who pretends to be virtuous deserves to be condemned by everyone!""How dare you!" Ronald's expression darkened.

There were differences in strength even among grandmasters. And the gaps between each minor level were challenging to bridge. "Sir Bolts, it seems like you have overestimated this young man." Theodore chuckled and shook his head. "If I'm not mistaken, after Sir Reeds' recent seclusion, his skills have ascended to another level. So he should only need three moves to deal with Dustin.""Oh? Is that so?" Woody raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.Ronald had already attained the status of a grandmaster several years ago. If he had made further progress, he was on the verge of becoming an ultimate grandmaster. If that were the case, the Martial Arts Union would have to reevaluate his value."Dustin, you should never have challenged me. I already offered you a chance back in the Black Forest. But it seems like you're determined to dig a grave for yourself. "No one will be coming to your rescue today!" Ronald continued to advance. His terrifying presence intensified as it surged

Ronald leaped up high and suspended himself in the air. Under the sunlight, the golden armor that he wore gleamed brilliantly. It caught everyone's attention. "I call this swordplay the Ethereal Slash. I learned it during my three years spent in seclusion. Until today, I have never displayed it in front of others. "It will be your greatest honor today to die by this technique!"Now, watch me!" Ronald's golden sword suddenly shook. He then transformed into a golden streak of light and descended rapidly. His momentum was tremendous, destroying everything in its path. "How fast! What a terrifying swordplay!""Oh my goodness! Is this divine retribution? It's so frightening!""No one can withstand this strike of his when unleashed. At least the young grandmaster will die an honorable death!" Ronald's astounding swordplay sent shockwaves throughout the arena. The martial artists were left in awe. That golden streak of light was as radiant as the sun and left people utterly def
