An Understated Dominance Chapter 1997 –“Dustin! I didn’t expect you to be so powerful. That sword strike just now was so majestic!”

Walking through the passage of the palace, Jackson was still in high spirits and amazed.

He knew Dustin was powerful, but he didn’t expect him to be so powerful. His strength and cultivation were even better than Aidan’s.

It’s incredible!

“Yes, Senior Rhys, you can kill the black dragon with one sword and frighten all forces in the southwest and northwest. From now on, you will definitely be famous all over the world!”

Sophia smiled sweetly and looked at Dustin with extremely hot eyes.

Jackson could be called excellent, but he was only her alternative.

Now that there was a peerless genius like Dustin around her, she naturally knew what to do.

“I was just lucky enough to find the flaw in the black dragon.” Dustin said it with a faint smile.

“Dustin, please stop being modest. No one but a martial arts master can break the Black Dragon’s defense. You cut off the black dragon’s head with just one sword strike. I have never heard of such a heroic act!” Jackson was praised without hesitation.

“Jackson, please stop praising me. I’m a thin-skinned person, and I really can’t stand it.” Dustin said.

Hearing this, Grace rolled his eyes, obviously disagreeing.

“Hahaha. With Dustin’s talent and strength, he deserves any praise.” Jackson laughed.

“Senior Rhys, you are so powerful; can you give me some techniques? My Harmony Sword always feels like it’s not very powerful.” Sophia said it delicately.

While speaking, he also winked, with a somewhat ambiguous air.

However, Dustin didn’t even look at it and said calmly, “I am a sword user, and I know only a little about sword skills. However, in this aspect, you can learn more and communicate with Jackson. I believe you will make rapid progress.”

“Although Jackson is good at swordsmanship, he is still far behind you in terms of realm, so I have to rely on you. Senior Rhys, can you teach me about martial arts?”Sophia put on a weak look.

“Let’s talk about it then.” Dustin said it simply and perfunctorily.

He had seen Sophia’s previous behavior of crossing the river and destroying the bridge, abandoning her friends, and running away.

So he didn’t have a good impression of Sophia at all.

“Hmph! What’s so great about it?”

Seeing that Dustin was so popular and attracting so much attention, Garrett, who was walking at the back, had a gloomy expression on his face, and his eyes were full of jealousy.

Since understanding Dustin’s strength, he didn’t even have the courage to approach Grace.

Everyone held torches and walked along the passage of the palace.

In order to prevent triggering the mechanism, the team walked slowly and cautiously.

Fortunately, there were no mechanisms in the passage, so it could be said to be unobstructed.

But then they thought about it: with a dangerous creature like the black dragon guarding the place, setting up traps, and so on, it was completely unnecessary.

After walking through the passage, what appeared in front of everyone was a spacious and magnificent hall.

In the main hall, there were various pieces of gold, silver, jade, jewelry, and rows of strange-shaped terracotta warriors and horses.

Half of them were cavalry figurines riding horses and holding spears.

The cavalry warriors were arranged in a charging formation, looking majestic and unstoppable.
