An Understated Dominance - Chapter 2344

**Chapter 2344**

“I’Fenley, congratulations on reaching the top eight! You’re so close to winning the tournament!” Aurora said with a bright smile as Fenley took his seat.

“While Jaxton’s Sword Mastery Technique was impressive, Fenley’s Four Elements of God’s Technique is much better. Jaxton may have lost, but he deserves respect,” Alicia said proudly.

At first, Alicia felt concerned when she watched Jaxton’s amazing Sword Mastery Technique. But her worries faded when Fenley showcased his Four Elements of God’s Technique. She knew the match was already decided.

“Defeating Jaxton was straightforward, but winning the tournament is still a long journey,” Fenley said with a smile, shaking his head.

He felt confident but understood the challenges that lay ahead. Jaxton wasn’t one of the top names on the Legendary List. Though skilled, he was not in the same league as the top contenders.

“Let’s take it one step at a time,” Aurora replied with a smile. “If Glenn and Abigail end up facing each other in the top eight match, your victory is almost guaranteed.” Only two opponents truly worried Fenley in this tournament.

The first was Glenn, the top-ranked martial artist on the Legendary List. The second was Abigail, who held the second spot. Both were mysterious figures who rarely showed their full abilities. However, their high rankings meant they were exceptionally skilled and posed the biggest challenges to Fenley’s chance of winning.

“That would be great, but we’ll see how the draw goes tomorrow. Sometimes luck plays a big role,” Fenley said with a grin.

He believed he had about a 50% chance against either of them.

If Glenn and Abigail were both at their best, it would be tough to guess who would win in a close match. But things could change a lot if they faced off tomorrow and both were tired or hurt.

Fenley wished for that outcome, but he knew better than to get his hopes too high. If luck wasn’t on his side and he faced Abigail first, Glenn might sneak into the next round. In that case, the result could be very different.

The first match of the top 16 was over, and after a brief break, the second match began.

Oron stepped into the battle ring and announced, “We’re starting the second match soon. Contestant number two and contestant number fifteen, please come up.”

As he finished speaking, Glenn stood up and walked onto the stage, holding his sword. His cold demeanor and sharp gaze silenced the crowd instantly, as if an invisible weight pressed down on everyone.

“Glenn is like a sword that’s just been drawn. He’s way more intimidating than Jaxton,” Aurora noted, frowning at the solitary figure in the ring.

“The top rank on the Legendary List isn’t for nothing. I hope his opponent can push him to his limits and show us how powerful Glenn really is,” Alicia said, her face serious.

In his last match, Glenn hadn’t even needed to fight; just his presence had made his opponent forfeit in fear.

“I wonder who his opponent is this time,” Fenley thought, looking around for the other contestant.

A moment later, a tall, muscular man in combat gear rose and confidently walked to the ring. His strong presence was clear from his sharp eyebrows and piercing gaze. He carried a silver spear that seemed to radiate power.

“Isn’t that Levi Sullivan, the branch master of Boulderthorn?” Fenley said, raising an eyebrow as he recognized the man.

Boulderthorn was a well-known guild with over 10,000 members and a solid presence throughout Balerno. Being a branch master was similar to being an elder in the Celestial Alliance.

Usually, branch masters were older men, typically over 50, but Levi was different. At just 30 years old, he led a group of military forces, which showed just how skilled he was. Aurora chimed in, “I’ve heard about Levi. His spear techniques are almost legendary. He’s defeated opponents in past matches with just one strike, barely breaking a sweat. His strength is truly impressive.”

“So, Glenn is up against a tough opponent?” Alicia said thoughtfully. “This is perfect timing. Let’s see if Levi’s spear can uncover any secrets about Glenn’s sword. This match will really test Glenn’s abilities.” Alicia believed that even if Levi didn’t win, he might push Glenn to show what he could really do.

“I’m Levi Sullivan from Boulderthorn,” Levi declared, staring at Glenn while holding his spear firmly. He looked fearless and full of determination.

The man in front of him was the top-ranked martial artist on the Legendary List. If Levi could defeat Glenn, he would take his place and gain worldwide recognition.

“I’m not interested in who you are. Surrender now, or I won’t hold back,” Glenn replied coldly, his gaze icy.

“Surrender? Hmph! You underestimate me,” Levi shot back, his expression firm. “I know you’re strong, but so am I. If it comes down to a fight to the death, you might not be ready for what’s coming.”

“Win,” Levi declared confidently.

“Really? I hope you don’t regret your decision,” Glenn replied, his face showing no emotion.

“Both contestants are ready, so let’s begin the match now,” Oron announced as he stepped out of the ring.

“Arrogant fool! Take this!” Levi shouted as he charged forward, spear raised. He was determined to prove Glenn wrong.

“That’s like bringing a knife to a gunfight,” Glenn said calmly. He raised his finger and pointed at Levi from a distance.

Suddenly, a bright beam of light shot from Glenn’s fingertip and struck Levi’s chest with incredible speed. Levi’s body jerked, and his attack stopped instantly.

In the next moment, he collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open, lifeless.
