An Understated Dominance Chapter 2276 [4551–4552] – Sawyer was defeated. He completely lost his will to fight after using all of his lifespan and strength to launch his strongest attack, which Briggs easily broke.

On the one hand, his body couldn’t bear it, and he was seriously injured and exhausted.

However, Briggs’s incomprehensibility scared him.

Although Briggs was young, his cultivation was ten times stronger than Sawyer’s.

Even with all his skills, he couldn’t hurt the opponent.

It was an unattainable feeling of despair.

Not to mention that he had no fighting power now; even in his prime, he had no confidence to fight anymore.

“Player No. 5 admits defeat; player No. 19 wins!”

After hearing Sawyer’s words, the referee quickly announced the final result.

The whole scene was filled with wailing. There were also many curses and insults.

“D*mn it! What a rubbish ascetic monk! He can’t even handle a lovely boy; what a disgrace!”

“Master Sawyer? I think he is nothing! “Just a name; no skills; rubbish!”

“F*ck you! You made me lose everything! Why don’t you just die?”

“…”

Some g*mblers who lost their bets were filled with righteous indignation and kept shouting and cursing.

They thought Sawyer could easily win, so they all bet heavily, and some even bet their entire fortunes, intending to take this opportunity to make a comeback.

At the beginning, the situation was pretty good. Unexpectedly, Sawyer became weaker and weaker as the fight went on. In the end, not only did he not hurt his opponent at all, but he also exhausted himself.

What a waste!

If they had known that Sawyer was a weakling, they would not have bet on anything.

Regrettably, it was too late to undo it, and they could only express their anger with a few profanities.

“I didn’t expect that it was really Mr. Ethier who won. Dr. Rhys’s vision is really good.”

Noemi smiled and received praise from the audience.

From the beginning to the end, she had doubted more than once whether Briggs could do it.

After all, the strength shown by Sawyer was not ordinary; it was comparable to that of a martial arts master.

But the strange thing was that no matter how Sawyer attacked, no matter how hard he tried, he could never do anything to Briggs.

Ultimately, he had to concede defeat.

On the surface, it seemed that Sawyer was not strong enough, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was because Briggs’s cultivation was too high.

Since Sawyer used all his tricks, Briggs could easily solve them.

From beginning to end, Briggs was calm and spotless.

This was enough to prove that the gap in strength between the two sides was too large.

“I won, but I always feel that something is wrong.” Kassidy scratched her head, a little confused.

Sawyer’s attack was very powerful and fierce, and it looked very scary, but Briggs’s response was a bit awkward.

Whether defending or breaking the moves, he never took the initiative to initiate an attack.

It felt like a person attacking with all his strength, yet hitting the same target each time.

Though she knew Briggs was stronger, this battle was boring.

There was a big gap from the fierce collision in her mind.

“Mr. Ethier is not ordinary.” At this time, Fenley, who was sitting next to Kassidy, suddenly spoke, “He is obviously a tiger, but it disguises itself as a sheep, giving people a very weak illusion. Indeed, once they reveal their fangs, they have the ability to consume individuals directly.

“Oh!” Noemi raised her eyebrows slightly, which surprised her. “It could be worthy of such a high evaluation from Brother Fenley. It seems that Mr. Ethier is more powerful than we expected.”

She knew Fenley was proud and the other party wouldn’t take ordinary warriors seriously.

Only true geniuses would pay a little attention.

And there was not a single person among the younger generation of the Celestial Alliance to attract Fenley’s attention.

So after hearing Fenley’s evaluation of Briggs, Noemi was a little surprised and more curious.

“If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Ethier’s strength should be able to compete with the tenth master on the legendary list.” Fenley described it as shocking.

“What? Tenth on the Legendary List?!”

Hearing this, Kassidy’s eyelids jumped, and she was particularly surprised.

The masters on the legendary list were all highly talented individuals. Each of them had a powerful presence in the world.

Compared with the masters on the legendary list, people like Sawyer were completely insignificant.

Kassidy admitted that Briggs was strong and much stronger than Sawyer, but she didn’t believe that he could compete with Jude Leith, who was tenth on the Legendary List.

“Brother Fenley, are you really so optimistic about Mr. Ethier?” At this moment, Noemi was also shocked.

She couldn’t understand why Dustin and Fenley valued Briggs so much when he didn’t show any extraordinary skills.

What was the secret?

Fenley said meaningfully, “At the age of 20, he has reached the realm of a martial arts master, and he has the body protection method of the Acala Mantra. These points alone are enough to make him stand out from the crowd. Moreover, this is just the surface we see. There are certain unseen aspects that the other party has yet to reveal. With the foundation of the Yam Palace, it is not particularly difficult to cultivate a master who is in the top ten of the legendary list.”

At this point, Fenley suddenly looked at Dustin and asked with a smile, “Dr. Rhys, what do you think?”
