An Understated Dominance Chapter 2333 [4665 – 4666] – “My life is so miserable!” Easton Foster sighed as he walked toward the stage.

Orion Foster frowned at his defeated demeanor. Why does this kid lack any fighting spirit? He’s the most talented disciple of Sacred Wyrm Summit. Can’t he show some energy?

“Look! The new Ancient Sage’s disciple has arrived. This should be interesting!”

“I’ve heard he’s a rare genius at Sacred Wyrm Summit. At just twenty years old, he’s already mastered the Golden Light Curse and Thunder Spell, and he’s skilled in divine runes. He might even surpass his teacher.”

“Easton Foster is strong, but he’s still young. He’s almost ten years younger than Sam Dawson. If they face off, his chances are slim.”

“True. Sam Dawson is ranked ninth on the Legendary List, with deep cultivation and formidable techniques. Compared to him, Easton is definitely at a disadvantage.”

As Easton approached the stage, the audience buzzed with speculation.

Everyone knew that the Legendary List contained the best of the best.

Only those on that list were considered true top-tier geniuses.

No matter how gifted someone was, if they weren’t on the Legendary List, they were still lacking in many ways.

In their eyes, Easton Foster was a Taoist prodigy. Perhaps in a few years, he could make it onto the Legendary List. But for now, it was too soon.

Especially with Sam Dawson wielding the Tardif Sect’s sacred weapon, Easton had little chance of winning.

This match would depend on whether Easton could reach his full potential.

“Uncle Master.”

Easton Foster bowed respectfully to Orion Foster as he reached the stage.

“Don’t slack off. If you don’t perform well, you’ll spend three years facing the wall—and no meat for you!” Orion Foster warned coldly.

“What? No meat for three years?” Easton’s eyes twitched, and he groaned. “Uncle, that’s too harsh!”

He didn’t mind facing the wall; he could sleep anywhere. But going without meat for three years? That would drive him crazy.

“I know your ways too well. If I don’t push you, you won’t put in any effort,” Orion replied.

“Fine, fine, I’ll do my best. But I can’t guarantee a win,” Easton said, resigned.

“We don’t demand victory, but you can’t let people think that Sacred Wyrm Summit is weakening,” Orion said sternly.

“Understood.”

Easton nodded, then turned to face Sam Dawson and bowed politely. “I’m Easton Foster from Sacred Wyrm Summit. Please…”

“I’m Sam Dawson from Tardif Sect,” Sam replied coldly, unmoved.

The face beneath his Shura mask was as cold as his voice.

“Are both contestants ready?”

Orion Foster looked around. Once both nodded, he waved his hand and announced, “The ninth match officially begins!”

With that, Orion Foster gracefully left the stage.

“Tardif Sect’s hidden weapons against Sacred Wyrm Summit’s Taoist magic—who do you think will win?”

In the audience, Kassidy asked excitedly.

“Sam Dawson is a master on the Legendary List. He’s powerful and has the Tardif Sect’s sacred artifact, the Thousand Machine Box, for protection. His chances of winning are over 90%,” Fenley assessed.

He didn’t know Easton Foster, but he knew Sam Dawson well.

Even Fenley would struggle against someone using the Thousand Machine Box.

“The Tardif Sect’s hidden weapons aren’t ideal for ring fights, and Sacred Wyrm Summit’s Golden Light Curse and Thunder Magic are both offensive and defensive. They can counter Sam Dawson to some extent, so I think Easton still has a shot,” Grace offered a different view.

Easton’s talent in Taoism surpassed that of the current Ancient Sage, Katy Foster. His future could rival even the legendary Ancient Sage Arion Foyer.

Such a genius couldn’t be judged by conventional standards.

Besides, the Legendary List was just a reference and didn’t always reflect absolute strength.

“Dr. Rhys, what do you think?”

Noemi turned to Dustin.

Since the Blood Clan was wiped out, Dustin’s status had skyrocketed, and many forces were eager to win his favor.

“It’s hard to say. Both are exceptional. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s fifty-fifty,” Dustin replied after some thought.

Based on cultivation, Sam Dawson had the edge. But at this level, it wasn’t just about cultivation—it was also about tactics and hidden trump cards.

“It seems everyone has different opinions on this match. We’ll just have to wait and see who wins,” Noemi smiled.

In the ring, victory and defeat could be decided in an instant. Often, the outcome wasn’t clear until the very last moment.

At this moment, on stage, Sam Dawson and Easton Foster stood facing each other.

Sam’s expression was grim, his aura fierce, while Easton sighed, looking reluctant.

After a brief standoff, Sam Dawson suddenly moved. With a wave of his hand, a row of hidden weapons shot out from his sleeves.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”

The weapons flew with incredible speed, surrounded by a cold light. As they cut through the air, a sonic boom echoed—like cannon fire, unstoppable.
