Chapter 1843 by Marina Vittori

After years of relentless training, Elijah’s martial prowess had surged. Yet, he never anticipated being overpowered by a younger opponent. It was an utterly embarrassing situation!

“This is beyond insolence!” As the situation escalated, he roared in frustration and unleashed a deadly move.

Swiftly stepping back and turning, he tightly gripped his spear, launching a fierce counter-strike. His entire being pulsated with formidable energy.

“Astral Crescent Strike!” Elijah bellowed, the spearhead vibrating intensely. Countless shadows of the spear shot forth like meteors, carrying a devastating force, all aimed at Dustin.

The spear shadows distorted the air and shattered the ground, creating a terrifying spectacle.

Dustin was undeterred. He humphed and didn’t evade. With a swing of the Celestial Blade, a sharp sword aura burst forth, colliding with the myriad spear shadows.

A series of explosions echoed. Dustin’s sword aura effortlessly crushed all the spear shadows, accurately piercing Elijah’s spearhead.

Then, a loud explosion followed. Elijah’s long spear couldn’t withstand the strain, exploding into over a dozen pieces.

The powerful shockwave sent Elijah flying several feet away, and he crashed heavily to the ground. Blood oozed from his mouth, and he coughed incessantly.

“What?”

While witnessing this, the crowds were horrified. Although they knew Dustin had the upper hand, they expected a more evenly matched fight.

How did Elijah lose so abruptly and miserably in the blink of an eye? They felt the outcome seemed too sudden.

Watching Dustin defeat Elijah with a single sword strike, Julius squinted his eyes, his interest piqued. “This guy is indeed formidable. If I can recruit him, that would be excellent.”

It showed prowess with limitless potential, as Dustin was able to defeat Elijah at such a young age.

“With Grand General Rhys’s reputation, if we reach out to him and promise immense wealth and glory, it should easily win him over,” Everett suggested, his words carrying a significant undertone.

“A talent like this is worth cultivating.” Shane nodded.

In West Lucozia, where martial prowess mattered, martial strength greatly influenced an individual’s future achievements.

Elijah staggered to his feet, wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth. He no longer displayed the calm demeanor from before but wore an expression of shock.

He asked, “The sword fighting technique you used is remarkably similar to Seth, the Sword Whisperer. Who are you?”

“I’ll tell you the truth after you’re dead! “Dustin didn’t waste any words. With a swing of the Celestial Blade, he shot forward again, fiercely attacking Elijah.

“Grand General Rhys, save me!” In fear, Elijah, disregarding his image as a martial artist, swiftly hid behind Julius, seeking protection. Realizing he wasn’t Dustin’s match, Elijah sought refuge at the fastest speed possible.

“Young man, please hold on!” Julius spoke loudly, attempting to defuse the conflict between the two. However, Dustin showed no response. The Celestial Blade continued its direct thrust, seemingly determined to fight to the end. Seeing this, Julius furrowed his brows slightly.

While eager to recruit the young expert, Julius wouldn’t want to keep Dustin if he proved uncontrollable.
