An Understated Dominance
âWhoa! Heâs even busting out the Four Elements of Godâs Technique? Does he really need to show off?â
âFenley sure knows how to make an entrance. Heâs showing off in style.â
âIf I had his skills, Iâd be more flashy than him.â
Fenley made a grand entrance, and the crowd couldnât stop talking and whispering.
The Four Elements of Godâs Technique was a secret art of the Celestial Alliance, learned only by the guildmastersâ successors. So, it was surprising when Fenley used it before the match began.
âMr. Marshall, your disciple lives up to his name,â Cyrus remarked coldly.
âHa! Young people should be bursting with energy. If heâs got the skills, why hold back?â Alloy replied indifferently.
âI just hope you donât let your excitement get the better of you,â Cyrus warned. âSometimes, too much joy can lead to a downfall.â
âYou donât need to worry about it, Mr. Hadley,â Alloy said with a faint smile.
Regardless of the match outcome, Fenleyâs entrance had already outshined the Sword Union.
The top talents from the three major guilds-Mystic Arts Order, Sword Union, and Celestial Alliance-each made their grand entrance.
The top experts from other major guilds werenât about to be outdone. They showcased their skills with impressive flair and style.
A genius from the Beast Master guild arrived riding a mystical crane, while a disciple from the Esoteric Sword guild flew in on a magical sword. Another ,elite used earth-shifting techniques to burst out of the battle ringâs floor.
Overall, the range of spectacular and unique entrances was breathtaking.
For many participants, this Combat Tournament was about fame and fortune. Many young talents saw it as their chance to make a name for themselves.
With so many high-profile figures present, a striking entrance could boost their reputation significantly. Even if they didnât win, making a memorable impression would cement their status and elevate their guildâs prestige.
This tournament was a prime opportunity for them to shine, and they were eager to make the most of it.
âDr. Rhys, youâre one of the top 32 contestants. Everyoneâs flaunting their unique styles and making a name for themselves. You donât want to be left behind, right?â Alicia teased with a grin.
âYeah, Dr. Rhys. This is a great chance to boost your fame. Show us some impressive moves,â Aurora said expectantly.
Dustin was renowned for his dual mastery of medicine and martial arts. Alicia had witnessed his medical expertise firsthand but hadnât seen his martial prowess.
âWell then, how about I show you my skill?â He smiled faintly.
As the Marshall sisters watched with anticipation, Dustin lightly tapped his foot and soared into the air. He flew across the arena and landed on the battle ring.
In most competitions, such effortless flight would be impressive. But with todayâs arena packed with top contenders, each flaunting their unique skills, Dustinâs smooth but simple entrance felt pretty ordinary. It was almost too routine to catch anyoneâs attention.
âIs that it?â Aurora pursed her lips in disappointment. She had expected something truly spectacular from him, but this was underwhelming.
âHe has always been modest, so that makes sense.â Alicia smiled awkwardly. It seemed her expectations had been too high.
âGet out of my way!â
Suddenly, a booming voice cracked through the air like thunder.
A colossal black shadow streaked in from the distance, moving at blistering speed. The ground erupted beneath it, sending dust swirling and debris flying. Spectators who couldnât react in time were sent flying.
The shadow barreled through everything, smashing its way to the battle ring and leaving a trail of wreckage. Many spectators grumbled and cursed.
As the dust finally settled, the spectators got their first clear view of the newcomer. The figure was a towering, muscular man with tanned skin, standing well over six feet tall. He wore a black tank top, and his formidable build radiated an intimidating presence.
The surrounding martial artists looked like dwarfs beside him. The newcomer was George Burroughs.
âWhatâs going on? A foreigner in this Combat Tournament?â
âFrom the looks of it, heâs not here to play nice!â
âHmph! Heâs just a brute. Letâs see how Dragonmarsh martial artists deal with him!â
Georgeâs entrance sent the crowd into a frenzy of murmurs. They were shocked to see a foreigner in the tournament, especially among the top 32 contestants, which was a first for them.
âHmph!â Standing in the battle ring, George scanned the martial artists with disdain.
His eyes narrowed, and a grim smile appeared when he spotted Fenley. Without a word, he raised his hand and made a throat-slashing gesture in Fenleyâs direction.
Fenley glanced at him and then ignored him. He felt that this brash newcomer wasnât worth his attention. After all, his target was Glenn.
