An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1172
The next morning, the martial arts alliance headquarters was filled with people. The news of Dustin challenging Ronald had spread rapidly in the martial arts world.
Many martial artists from different guilds gathered to witness this epic showdown. As a young grandmaster, Dustin was already well-known in the martial arts world of Balerno.
His achievements at the tournament of Knighthood Society, his victory over Augustus, and his remarkable feat in the Black Forest had become legends.
These tales were not only widely known but also greatly admired. Many young martial artists admired Dustin and dreamed of following in his footsteps.
Ronald was the leader of the Balerno martial arts. He was the strongest among the top five grandmasters, a title that instilled fear in many.
A young grandmaster had challenged the leader of the martial arts alliance. The news would naturally attract a large crowd. The alliance headquarters entrance was packed with people from various guilds of Balerno.
The Skycrane, Nephrite Sun, the Soul Reapers, the Combat Priests, Deathly Hurricane, and Starry Arches were among them. Some others from lesser- known guilds were also present.
Some guilds held a grudge against Dustin because of the incidents in the Black Forest. They wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
As the sun rose, the gates finally opened, and the martial artists flooded in. Soon, the arena was filled with people. As for the latecomers, they had to stand on the sidelines.
To maintain order and prevent disruptions, the martial arts alliance set up an enforcement team. A commotion broke out at the entrance gate. The enforcement team had stopped a group of young men and women.
âWhatâs going on here? Why wonât let us in?â one of them protested. you âThe arean is already full. You should head back,â the enforcement team captain replied bluntly.
âHead back? Then, how come they could get in?â A girl with a ponytail asked, looking annoyed. She pointed to the group that had just entered.
âTheyâre from the Crimson Cloud, a prestigious guild in the Balerno martial world. You arenât on the same level,â the captain retorted coldly.
âHey, donât look down on us! Whatâs so good about Crimson Cloud anyway? Weâre from the Moonlight Reverence, and weâre just as good!â she argued.
âThatâs right! Why is Crimson Cloud allowed in, but weâre not? Thatâs prejudice!â the others chimed in..
âMoonlight Reverence? Never heard of it. I donât know what obscure guild you belong to, but please go and donât block the entrance.â The captain became impatient.
The alliance headquarters was a gathering of elite martial artists. Allowing anyone to enter would diminish its reputation.
âYou⦠youâve gone too far!â the girl with the ponytail shouted, her face red with anger. She had traveled so far just to see the young grandmasterâs skills. Being denied entry was beyond her expectations.
âHey! Show some respect!â
A young man in green clothing approached them. He said, âIâm Toddy Yarnes, the senior disciple of the Moonlight Reverence. Iâm destined to become a grandmaster!
âI warn you, let us in now. Or youâll regret it when I become famous!â
âA grandmaster?â The captain sneered. He slapped Toddy in the face, causing him to fall to the ground. The captain scoffed, âFuck! If you can become a grandmaster, then I must be an ultimate grandmaster!â
