An Understated Dominance Chapter 2285 [4569–4570] – “Sister, I believe you will become famous worldwide if you can advance to Group A and reach the top ten! By then, the sect will definitely devote all its resources to training you!” Sullivan said it happily.

Rivka shook her head, saying, “There is still a chance to be promoted to Group A, but forget about the top ten. Most of the participants in Group A are martial arts masters. I don’t know how many players on the Heavenly Immortals are in the top ten. My current strength is insufficient to compete with those monsters.”

Rivka knew her own strength. Even if she faced a martial arts master who had just entered the door, her chances of winning were very little, let alone those monsters on the Heavenly Immortals? Those who could enter the Heavenly Immortals were at least on par with the late Grandmaster.

“Sister, don’t be discouraged. Not all of the players on the Heavenly Immortals will attend this martial arts competition. We can still try our luck.” Sullivan smiled.

The Heavenly Immortals had a limited number of players. Some would be absent, and some would be played in advance. 

When two tigers engage in combat, it is inevitable that one will sustain injuries. Let those strong ones fight for a round first. If they are fortunate enough, they may still have a chance to place in the top ten when they face weaker or seriously injured players. Of course, this chance is limited.

“Do your best.” Rivka did not say much.

She was in a positive mood. She did not seek to compete for any ranking; she only wanted to make friends through martial arts and increase her knowledge.

“Sister, I’m sorry; I have embarrassed the Celestial Alliance.”

On the other side, Kassidy, who returned to her seat, was dejected and unhappy. As the daughter of the guildmaster of the Celestial Alliance, she naturally felt ashamed to lose to a disciple of the Sword Union.

“You have tried your best; don’t blame yourself.” Noemi smiled.

“Just a little bit; I almost won!” Kassidy was a little annoyed.

If Kassidy were more calm and not so aggressive, she would still have a fantastic chance of winning.

“Winning and losing are common in the battle; don’t take it to heart. Work hard to practice in the future, and you will win again sooner or later.” Noemi comforted Kassidy.

Given her talent, Kassidy could potentially surpass Fenley and earn a spot on the Legendary List in the future.

“Rivka, I will remember her. Next time, I must defeat her!” Kassidy slowly clenched her pink fist, and the fighting spirit in her heart was burning.

Sooner or later, she would get back to today’s place.

After the battle between the two beauties, the competition continued and intensified.

One by one, famous masters began to appear on the stage.

The elites of the major sects also showed their unique style.

Every game was extremely fierce.

For many sects, this competition was not about winning or losing but about faces and futures.

If you win, you can become famous worldwide, recruit disciples, and advance the sect. If you lose, then naturally no one cares, and you fall into a vicious circle.

The fresh blood of a sect is extremely important, and it is also the cornerstone of inheritance for thousands of years. Whether or not they can achieve favorable results in this competition is extremely important to all sects.

Therefore, the elite masters of various sects have tried their best to win glory for their sects and make a name for themselves. Some even sacrificed their lives.

The competition’s rules would determine the top 32 that day.

The players in Group A had directly advanced and occupied 20 places, while the remaining 12 places were jointly fought for by many players in Group B.

Hundreds of elites in Group B were fighting for 12 places to be promoted to Group A. The battle was not to be underestimated.

Time passed by little by little.

As the sun set, the competition was coming to an end.

It was worth mentioning that Briggs and Rivka had successfully advanced to Group A. Talented individuals from various sects filled the remaining ten places.

“Congratulations to contestant No. 15 for winning!”

“Today’s competition is officially over!”

“All the advanced contestants, please prepare for tomorrow.”

With the referee’s verdict, the competition temporarily came to an end.

The top 32 contestants were all out. The next day, the competition shifted from 32 to 8, requiring all contestants to draw lots once more.

Whoever is drawn is the winner. Luck and strength are both indispensable.

“Including this contestant No. 15, there are a total of three people from our Celestial Alliance who have advanced to the top 32. The future is promising.”

In the audience, Noemi breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the best winner, contestant No. 15, was a disciple of the Celestial Alliance; otherwise, it would be difficult to end today.

The Celestial Alliance, known as the largest sect in Dragonmarsh, had many disciples.

Among the top 32 in this competition, there were two places for recommendation: one was Fenley, and the other was the last disciple of the Supreme Elder.

Both of them were masters, so they could advance directly. However, these two individuals alone were not enough.

Among the players in Group B, the Sword Union and the Mystic Arts Order have disciples who have successfully advanced. If the Celestial Alliance does not have them, it will inevitably be criticized.

“There should have been four people; what a p!ty.”

Kassidy seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t help but sigh slightly.

If Conor had not betrayed the sect, he could also win glory for the Celestial Alliance. Unfortunately, he was ambitious and coveted the position of leader. He did not hesitate to collude with foreign enemies and harm his fellow disciples.

Such a person, regardless of how excellent he is, has no value.

“Dr. Rhys, you should also be a player in Group A, right?” Noemi abruptly inquired, tilting her head slightly.

“Yes.” Dustin nodded.

“That’s perfect.” Noemi’s eyes lit up, saying, “Dr. Rhys, you are now a guest of our Celestial Alliance. Can you use our Celestial Alliance’s name during the competition?”

“This…” Dustin thought for a while and looked at Grace next to him.

Dustin participated in the competition mainly to help Grace find the Dracan essences. As for reputation, he didn’t care. It depended on what Grace planned to do.

“Since I’m a guest, it’s only natural to use the name.” Seeing Grace nod, Dustin quickly agreed.

“Great! Then we’re settled!” Noemi smiled.

The Celestial Alliance now has one more place to advance, and it’s finally a face.
