An Understated Dominance Chapter 2316 [4631 – 4632] – Paulina was very unwilling to lose this match. In terms of raw power, she was definitely better than Azalea. In a head-on confrontation, she had at least an 80% chance of winning.

However, Azalea had all kinds of magical weapons and elixirs, and with these various tools, it was really impossible to defend against her—unstoppable, really. In the end, Paulina was worn down little by little and had to admit defeat.

It was so frustrating!

“Master Marshall, it seems that your disciples from the Celestial Alliance aren’t very good.”

In the audience, Cyrus Hadley rarely curled his lips into a smile.

He and Alloy Marshall had been at odds, both openly and secretly, for many years, and he loved to see the other party being defeated.

“An occasional mishap is nothing, and besides, your Sword Union may not win.” Alloy Marshall responded lightly.

Paulina was one of Alloy Marshall’s proud disciples, so he didn’t expect her to be eliminated in the first round, which was a bit embarrassing.

“Really? Then let’s see who wins in the end.” Cyrus Hadley smiled. He was eager to see Alloy Marshall’s expression when Fenley was defeated by Glenn Hadley.

“Alas… I didn’t expect this outcome. It’s such a pity,” Kassidy sighed, looking a little regretful.

Kassidy originally thought that with Paulina’s high level of cultivation and superb spear skills, she had a great chance of winning, but she never imagined that Paulina would lose so embarrassingly.

“Paulina has tried her best. It can only be said that the Mystic Arts Order disciple had too many tools, fully utilized their own advantages, and just happened to counter Paulina, which led to the current situation,” Noemi shook her head.

That’s how the game was. The situation changed rapidly. Even if your strength is superior, it doesn’t guarantee a win.

“Brother Fenley, Dr. Rhys, it’s up to you two next,” Kassidy said, looking around.

The rest of the Celestial Alliance disciples had been stopped in the quarterfinals. Now, only Fenley and Dustin were left.

Fenley was definitely expected to reach the semifinals, but this one contender alone wasn’t enough to showcase the strength of the Celestial Alliance. Therefore, Kassidy hoped that Dustin could also make it to the semifinals and secure a place.

“I’ll do my best,” Dustin nodded slightly.

“Dr. Rhys, I remember you drew number 8, right?” Noemi suddenly asked.

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Dustin replied.

“I’ve observed carefully. Your opponent is that vampire. You should know that vampires are a very difficult dark creature. They are hard to harm with ordinary means. If you don’t have special weapons, you may struggle when facing such monsters.”

Noemi then took out a silver dagger and quietly handed it to Dustin, “I heard that vampires are afraid of silver. This is a silver weapon I just had someone collect. Keep it close and give them a fatal blow at the critical moment!”

“Silver weapon?” Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Noemi with some surprise. He didn’t expect her to be so meticulous. Not only did she notice his opponent, but she also made preparations in advance.

“Sister, when did you get the silver weapon? Why didn’t I know?” Kassidy asked, stunned.

“Of course, this kind of thing can’t be made public. If the blood clan sees it, they’ll definitely be on guard, and then it won’t have the element of surprise,” Noemi whispered.

“That’s true,” Kassidy nodded in agreement.

“Thank you,” Dustin said, not standing on ceremony, as he put the silver dagger into his pocket. He had also heard similar rumors that vampires were afraid of silver.

However, this restraining effect would weaken as the vampire’s strength increased. Especially for strong ones like earls and dukes, who were not afraid of silver weapons at all. Even if their heads were cut off and their hearts destroyed, as long as they had a blood supply, they could survive.

Such monsters could be called immortal.

Of course, Bill Wolf was clearly not at the level of an earl; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been beaten up by Fenley last night.

“Contestant No. 2 has voluntarily admitted defeat. I now declare that contestant No. 31 is the winner!” Orion Foster jumped onto the stage and announced loudly.

For a moment, the applause was thunderous.

Although Paulina had many supporters, Azalea’s appearance was more attractive, and with her series of impressive performances just now, she gained a large number of fans. Now that she had won, she naturally attracted countless audience members celebrating for her.

Amid fierce applause and cheers, Azalea smiled and walked off the stage, returning to the seats of the Mystic Arts Order disciples. If it weren’t for the Mystic Arts Order’s notoriety, based on Azalea’s performance just now, it’s likely that many young talents would have rushed forward to express their love.

“Azalea, you did a good job. Our Mystic Arts Order can finally be proud today!”

When Azalea sat down, Abigail immediately smiled and praised her to show encouragement.

“Saint, you’re too kind. I am a humble subordinate and didn’t have much chance of winning. Thanks to the protective spiritual treasure and the spirit pill you awarded me, I was able to turn the tide and win glory for the Mystic Arts Order,” Azalea nodded slightly, showing great respect.

Although Abigail treated her well and even considered her like a sister, Azalea knew deep down that they had different statuses and she must not cross the line. If she became arrogant and conceited because she had Abigail’s support, she would be in trouble sooner or later.

“Azalea, your next opponent will definitely be stronger. The protective magic treasure and the gathering spirit pill have already been exposed, so it’s difficult to have an element of surprise. But don’t worry. I still have some treasures here to help you. Take a look and pick any that are handy.”

Abigail said and immediately took out a pile of top-quality treasures, showing them to Azalea.

The elders of the Mystic Arts Order next to them were stunned. They knew that any treasure here could set off a bloody storm in the world. But when it came to the hands of the saint, Abigail, they were like cabbages, given away in piles. It was truly astonishing!
