It finally dawned on Alloy why Seth had chosen Dustin as his disciple-he was truly remarkable.
“Sorry. | almost lost control just now,” Dustin said, sheating the Celestial Blade.
During his battle with Caleb, he had consistently held back and had no intention of delivering a lethal strike.
However, he had to unleash his full strength when it was tto break the formation.
Fortunately, Oron acted decisively and conceded at the right moment. Otherwise, considering Caleb's earlier
state, he might not have been able to withstand Dustin's strike.
“I thought we were evenly matched, but | didn’t see the difference in our strength until now. I lost, and | accept it

Instead of looking defeated, he appeared energized, and his eyes aflwith determination. Although he
claimed to be indifferent to fand glory, a deep-rooted pride resided within him.
Caleb had always navigated life easily and tackled every challenge- cultivation, self-discipline, or resilience-
without breaking a sweat. Plus, he outperformed every disciple of Sacred Wrym Summit.
While others in the guild spent three years making small strides and a decade to master the Glow Incantation,
Caleb managed to perfect it in just six months of laid-back practice.
His progress was equivalent to what those so-called gifted disciples would achieve after ten years of hard work.
Since joining the Sacred Wrym Summit, Caleb had never genuinely
committed to his training or worked hard. He approached everything half- heartedly, yet his cultivation and
mastery of spells outshined those who had worked tirelessly for years.
Everyone called him a genius, and he never argued against it. However, the rapid pace of his progress had its
drawbacks. Without experiencing any pressure, he found himself lacking motivation.
To Caleb, the path of cultivation seemed absurdly simple-just eat, drink, sleep, and breakthroughs would follow.
With that mindset, he struggled to find the motivation to commit to anything seriously.
But Dustin's earlier attack shook him out of his complacency. Caleb understood he wasn’t the only genius in the
world and that others were stronger than him.
After the battle, he suddenly found himself with a clear goal and a renewed sense of purpose. The long-dormant
fire of passion and ambition reignited within him. From this moment on, he would take his training seriously.
“Congratulations to contestant number five, Dustin Rhys, for winning the match.” After calming himself, Oron
finally announced the result.
Although Sacred Wrym Summit had lost the match, Caleb's performance left a strong impression on everyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo, it was far from a disgraceful defeat.
What set Caleb apart was that he was the youngest contestant in the tournament.
At only 17, he had already reached the developed grandmaster level, with limitless potential before him. He
would surely earn a spot on the
Legendary List and even the Champ- Tier List in just a few years.
Amidst the enthusiastic applause, Dustin slowly stepped down from the battle ring.
With the quarterfinals concluded, the tournament moved on to the semifinals. and finals. The four finalists
included Glenn from the Sword Union, Fenley from the Celestial Alliance, Abigail from the Mystic Arts Order, and
Dustin.
All four were top figures on the Legendary List, and it was no surprise they had made it this far. However, the
real battle was about to begin.
After all, they were ultimate grandmasters. At this level, they had reached the peak of the martial world.
Regardless of who emerged victorious, they would soon beca legend and a leader for the next generation.
