An Understated Dominance Chapter 2370 – “You’ve helped me so much; how could I ever forget you?” Grace smiled. Then she asked, “By the way, the Pantheon spent a lot of resources to recruit you. They must want something in return, right? They wouldn’t invest without expecting results.”

“You’re right,” Dustin nodded, not hiding anything. “The Pantheon recruited me because they see my potential, but they also want me to help them with their plan to invade Sacred Wyrm Summit.”

“As expected, they have big ambitions,” Grace said, narrowing her eyes. “Did they share their exact plan with you?”

“No,” Dustin replied. “Tyson Houle told me that only the Pantheon’s God King knows the full plan. Even he doesn’t know all the details—he just follows orders.”

“That sounds typical of the Pantheon,” Grace said, not surprised. “They’re always extremely secretive about their big plans. Even their top people aren’t given all the information.”

This secrecy made it difficult for Dragonmarsh’s spies within the Pantheon to gather useful intel.

“Now we just have to wait and see, but be prepared,” Dustin said. “I’ll let you know as soon as I hear anything.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for your update,” Grace agreed.

After a few more words, Dustin quietly returned to the restaurant where he was staying.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious lakeside villa, Fenley and Alloy were discussing something important.

“Fenley, are you sure about this?” Alloy asked seriously. “The realm-breaking pill will allow you to advance to the Grandmaster level, but it could also affect your future growth. You should think it through.”

“I have no other choice,” Fenley said firmly. “After today’s competition, I realized I’m not strong enough. If I don’t become a Grandmaster now, I won’t have any hope of winning tomorrow’s championship.”

Both Glenn’s strength and the unexpected challenge from Dustin made Fenley understand that the competition was too fierce. Without taking a risk and pushing his limits, he wouldn’t stand a chance at victory.

“Since you’ve made your decision, I won’t stop you,” Alloy said. “Focus on breaking through. I’ll watch over you tonight.”

Alloy knew that if Fenley didn’t reach the Grandmaster level, not only would he fail to win the championship, but even placing in the top three would be uncertain.

“Thank you, Godfather! I won’t let you down,” Fenley said, bowing in gratitude. He then swallowed the realm-breaking pill and began absorbing its power, preparing to reach the Grandmaster realm.

Alloy sat quietly beside him, staying alert. Fenley was the future hope of the Celestial Alliance, and nothing could go wrong.

Similar situations were happening across various sects. Competitors were taking pills to boost their strength, refining magical weapons, and preparing their secret strategies. Everyone was getting ready for the big day. Failure wasn’t an option.

The next morning, Sacred Wyrm Summit was packed. Major sects and influential figures had gathered, and even reclusive masters made rare appearances. This competition was the largest and most significant event in the martial world in a century, bringing together all the top young warriors.

Today, the champion would be crowned. The winner would not only be the strongest fighter in the martial world, but would also earn great honor and a place in history.

Before the competition began, the atmosphere was already electric, with people buzzing with excitement.

The eight finalists were Glenn Hadley from the Sword Union, Fenley Hudson from the Celestial Alliance, Abigail Robinson from the Mystic Arts Order, Briggs Ethier from Yam Palace, Easton Foster from Sacred Wyrm Summit, Miguel Lai from the Sword Union, Ezekiel from the Qumozagnie Sect, and Dustin Rhys.

Among these eight, the top contenders were Glenn from the Sword Union, Fenley from the Celestial Alliance, and Abigail from the Mystic Arts Order. These three came from powerful sects and were at the top of the Legendary list, making them the favorites.

However, the other five were also highly skilled and talented. Though slightly below the top three, they still had a shot at winning.

In a competition like this, anything could happen. Unexpected upsets weren’t uncommon, and the strongest fighter didn’t always win. Many warriors who seemed certain to win had lost due to unforeseen circumstances.

This unpredictability was what made the competition so exciting.

About an hour later, as the contestants appeared, the crowd’s excitement surged, and applause and cheers echoed throughout the summit.
