An Understated Dominance Chapter 2171–The storm of the night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Sacred Wyrm Summit was already bustling with people.

Because today is the official start of the martial arts competition.

Both contestants and spectators came in droves.

A grand ceremony like this, which had never happened before at the Sacred Wyrm Summit, had already spread throughout the world.

All major sects and forces have basically arrived.

Even if they don’t participate in the competition, just watching the excitement is hugely attractive.

Because everyone knew that this game was full of talent and was rare to see in a century.

If they miss this opportunity, there will be no next time.

The martial arts competition at the Sacred Wyrm Summit lasted for five days in total.

In the first three days, players from Group C and Group B competed. After multiple rounds of elimination among the many elites, the most powerful ones joined Group A to compete with the geniuses of Group A.

The fourth day was the battle for the top 32 to advance to the quarterfinals.

On the fifth day, it was a battle between the semi-finals and the final.

It was important to note that the promotion quotas for Group C and Group B were extremely tight and were based on the size of Group A.

To put it simply, the number of players who advance from the BC two groups and the players from Group A must be thirty-two.

If there were more than 20 players in Group A, then there would be less than ten promotion places left for the BC Group.

They had to fight their way out of thousands of contestants and become the last ten people.

One could imagine how difficult it was.

After all, the contestants who could compete all started in an innate state, and almost no one was weak.

In their own territory, many warriors were considered geniuses.

But here, geniuses were everywhere, and there was no difference.

This was like those elite students who worked hard and were among the best in their own schools, and they were the academic champions that attract everyone’s attention.

But when they finally got into a prestigious university, they realized that they were just ordinary people with nothing to be proud of.

They were surrounded by academic masters, elites selected from all over the world.

This was a very cruel reality, and at the same time, it was also a motivation that could make people work hard.

At this moment, on the Sacred Wyrm Summit, in the auditorium.

Dustin, Briggs, and their group had already taken their seats early and occupied their seats.

Contestants could use their number plates to enter the viewing area to rest in advance.

Otherwise, once the audience officially entered the venue, they wouldn’t even have a place to sit and would have to stand and watch.

After all, there were so many spectators on this mountaineering trip; it was a sea of people.

Not only did the government dispatch the disciples of Sacred Wyrm Summit to maintain law and order, but it also sent troops to guard the area.

Big scenes like this were very rare.

“This martial arts competition is really full of masters and crowns!”

Sullivan looked around, looking full of energy. “Look over there; they are all female disciples of the Harmony Sect. “They are all as beautiful as flowers and have great strength.”

“There were also the bald monks over there. They were all warrior monks from the Vajra Temple. They were proficient in the seventy-two secrets of Shaolin. In a fight, one can fight a hundred. It’s no problem!”

“West! West! Have you seen those people? They are all disciples of the mysterious Sword Union. Although they all have five shortcomings and three shortcomings, their cultivation is extremely strong, and I heard that they are also proficient in the legendary sword-controlling technique!”

Sullivan pointed to the left, pointed to the right, and kept introducing the various sects.

Especially when he talked about the mysterious Sword Union, he was even more excited, as if he had seen something strange in the world.

So that the eyes of Dustin and others were attracted.

There were three disciples of the mysterious Sword Union in total.

Two men and one woman, all covered by black robes, wrapped themselves tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

“Senior brother, they all have their faces covered; how do you know they are disciples of the mysterious Sword Union?” Halle was a little curious.

“It’s precisely because he is covering his face that he looks mysterious.” Sullivan replied.

“Ah? That’s it?” Halle was stunned for a moment.

What is the is the reason for this? Isn’t that too ridiculous?

“Hahaha, I’m just teasing you.” Sullivan shook his head with a smile and explained, “Although I have never seen the disciples of the mysterious Sword Union, I know that the swords they carry have a certain special lotus mark, and this mark is the symbol of the mysterious Sword Union.”

“Lotus mark?”

Halle squinted and took a closer look, and sure enough, she found that the three people’s sword hilts were all engraved with a white lotus flower.

And above the lotus, there was a sword hanging upside down.

It looked a little strange.

“Hey, there really is!” Halle’s eyes lit up, and she asked, “But senior brother, how do you know this?”

“The Sword Union’s library contains all the news about swords in the world, and the mysterious Sword Union is among them and is still the focus of attention. You don’t know; I can only blame you for being idle and not studying hard.” Rivka said it suddenly.

“Sister, I just joined the sect not long ago; why are you so strict with me?” Halle puffed her lips, a little dissatisfied.

“As a disciple of the Sword Union, there will be an assessment every year. The sect will expel you if you fail the assessment. I hope you can understand that cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. Even if you have good talent, if you continue to be lazy, you will eventually lose sight of everyone.” Rivka said it seriously.

“Okay, okay, I understand.”After this martial arts competition, I will practice hard and never be lazy.” Halle stretched out three fingers in a gesture of swearing.

“It’s best this way.” Rivka nodded and said no more.

What she just said was not only to persuade Halle but also a warning to herself.

There were many geniuses in this world, and there were countless people who were better and more diligent than her.

She still needed to work harder to improve herself; otherwise, she wouldn’t even be able to see the backs of those top geniuses.
