An Understated Dominance - Chapter 2333

Chapter 2333

“My life is so miserable!” Caleb complained as he stepped onto the battle ring, letting out a sigh.

Oron frowned at him. How could Caleb lack enthusiasm? He was one of the most talented disciples at Sacred Wyrm Summit. Shouldn’t he be more excited?

“Whoa! Sage Foyer’s star disciple is entering the ring. This is going to be exciting!” someone called out. “I’ve heard he’s the most gifted disciple Sacred Wyrm Summit has seen in a hundred years. He’s not even 20, and he has already mastered the Glow Incantation and Stormcraft. Plus, he’s skilled in Divine Talisman techniques. He’s even outshining his mentor!”

“Caleb is talented, but he’s still young,” another person added. “He’s almost ten years younger than Sam, so his chances of winning are slim.”

“That’s true. Sam is ranked ninth on the Legendary List. His skills and techniques are on another level. Caleb can’t compete with him.”

As Caleb entered the ring, the spectators began to whisper among themselves. Those on the Legendary List were in a league of their own. Only those who made it onto that list were considered geniuses. Even the most promising talents fell short if they didn’t earn a spot on it.

Caleb might be the genius of the Pathfinder Guild, but he still had a few years to go before he could make it onto the Legendary List.

With Sam using the Dawson Clan’s sacred weapon, Caleb’s chances of winning were low. This match was more about whether Caleb could show his skills.

“Mr. Oron,” Caleb said respectfully as he stood in the battle ring.

“Don’t think about slacking off,” Oron replied coldly. “If you don’t give it your best, you’ll face three years of meditation and no training.”

“Meat!” Caleh exclaimed. “What? No meat for three years?” His eye twitched, and he made a face. “Mr. Oron, that’s too harsh!” He didn’t mind the idea of meditating as punishment since he could catch some sleep anywhere. But three years without meat? That would drive him crazy.

“I don’t know you well,” Oron replied. “If I’m not tough on you, you won’t put in any effort.”

“Fine. I’ll do my best, but I can’t promise a win,” Caleb said with a shrug.

“I’m not asking for a win,” Oron said seriously. “But you can’t let others think we’re running out of talent.”

“Got it,” Caleb nodded, then turned to Sam. “I’m Caleb Foyer from Sacred Wyrm Summit.”

“I’m Sam Dawson from the Dawson Clan,” Sam replied coldly, his expression hidden behind the Hellfire mask.

“Are both contestants ready?” Oron looked between them. Once they nodded, he raised his hand and declared, “The ninth match begins now.” With that, he stepped off the stage.

“Between the Dawson Clan’s hidden weapons and Sacred Wyrm Summit’s spiritual technique, who do you think has the upper hand?” Aurora asked excitedly from the stands.

“Sam is ranked on the Legendary List. His strength is impressive, and with the Dawson Clan’s sacred weapon, the thousand-talon coffer, he should have a victory rate of over 90%,” Fenley replied.

He didn’t know much about Caleb, but he was familiar with Sam. Even Fenley would struggle to match Sam’s power with the thousand-talon coffer.

Alicia shared her thoughts. “The hidden weapons of the I Dawson Clan aren’t the best for the battle ring. On the other hand, the Sacred Wyrm Summit’s Glow Incantation and Stormcraft provide both offense and defense, which could help counter Sam’s attacks. I think Caleb has a good chance.”

Caleb was known for his spiritual skills, rumored to be even better than Kaden’s and could nearly match Arion’s. It was hard to measure a talent like Caleb using standard methods. Plus, the rankings on the Legendary List were just rough guides and didn’t truly reflect someone’s power.

“What do you think, Dr. Rhys?” Alicia asked, turning to Dustin.

Since beating Bill, Dustin’s reputation had soared. Many groups wanted to recruit him. He thought for a moment before responding, “It’s tough to say. Both are exceptional. If I had to pick, I’d say it’s a 50-50 chance. Sam might have a slight advantage due to his cultivation, but the outcome will depend on more than that. Techniques and hidden strategies will also be important.”

“It seems like everyone has a different opinion about this match. Let’s wait and see who wins,” Alicia smiled.

In the battle ring, things could change in an instant. It was often unclear who would come out on top until the very last moment.

Sam and Caleb stood facing each other. Sam’s cold expression and commanding presence sharply contrasted with Caleb’s dejected and hesitant stance.

After a short pause, Sam sprang into action. With a quick flick of his wrist, a flurry of hidden weapons shot out from his sleeve.

The weapons flew through the air at blinding speed, their sharp gleam slicing through the silence, creating sonic booms. They advanced like unstoppable missiles, aimed directly at Caleb.
