An Understated Dominance - Chapter2335

Caleb watched as three swords flew toward him. Instead of facing them directly, he moved quickly, leaving behind a trail of afterimages to dodge the attack.

At that moment, Sam snapped his fingers. The swords that had missed Caleb turned around and raced toward his back.

Caleb raised his hands, and a golden light surrounded him.

The swords struck the light but didn’t bounce off. Instead, they began to spin rapidly, their sharp tips drilling into the golden barrier and sending sparks flying. The once strong golden light started to ripple.

“Huh?” Caleb frowned, surprised by the power of the treasures from the thousand-talon coffer. They were tough, sharp, and seemed to act on their own, making them hard to handle.

“Go!” Sam said, tapping the thousand-talon coffer again.

A red shadow shot out—a fiery red arrow made of an unknown metal, filled with energy and surrounded by flames.

“Go!” Sam pointed at Caleb, and the arrow shot through the air with a whoosh.

As it flew, a burst of flames erupted from the arrow. In an instant, it transformed into a roaring fire dragon, its mouth open and claws ready, charging straight at Caleb.

“Stormcraft!” Caleb knew he had to act fast. He quickly formed a hand seal and fired a bolt of blue lightning at the fire dragon.

The lightning struck with a loud crack and exploded on impact.

Energy surged around them, creating a powerful gust of wind.

The fire dragon and the lightning disappeared, while the red arrow returned to its original form and was knocked aside.

“Go!” Sam’s face remained calm as he tapped the thousand-talon coffer again.

The next…

Three black iron balls shot out, each about the size of a fist. They looked ordinary but were covered with tiny pinholes. These were the Dawson Clan’s deadly weapons known as Phantom Blooms.

Unlike the standard versions, Sam’s Phantom Blooms were enhanced, making them more powerful and poisonous. Even a grandmaster martial artist would be in serious trouble if hit in a vital spot.

“Go!” Sam commanded with a flick of his wrist.

The three Phantom Blooms flew toward Caleb. When they were ten yards away, they exploded. Thousands of poison needles shot out, raining down on him. These needles had the ability to drain internal energy. While not as deadly as the Frost Needle, their sheer number made them very dangerous. At such close range, few could defend against this kind of attack.

Caleb’s Stormcraft wouldn’t help him against such a thick assault. He could use the Glow Incantation for protection, but it would drain his energy if he kept it up. He had no choice but to use another technique—the Divine Talisman.

With a quick flick of his wrist, he pulled out a white talisman.

“Seal!” Caleb shouted as he threw the talisman forward.

It exploded in midair, releasing a thick white mist that surrounded the incoming poison needles. The lethal needles instantly froze solid, losing momentum and dropping to the ground with a faint clatter.

“Oh? You’ve mastered the Divine Talisman too?” Sam said, his cold expression showing a hint of surprise.

The Sacred Wyrm Summit had three signature techniques: the Glow Incantation, Stormcraft, and the Divine Talisman. The Glow Incantation was primarily defensive.

At Sacred Wyrm Summit, Stormcraft was known for its strong offense. Many monks had learned these techniques well. However, the Divine Talisman technique was much harder to master than the others. Only a few had truly succeeded, and each of them was a legend in the martial arts world.

Kaden, the new sage, and Oron, the respected elder, were two prime examples of masters. But they were both nearly 50 years old. In contrast, Caleb was not even 20, yet he had already mastered the three main techniques. His talent was extraordinary, not just gifted. With a bit more training, he could easily enter the Legendary List or even take the top spot.

First, there was Arion, and now Caleb. Sacred Wyrm Summit seemed to be a place where amazing talents were born. Even though Sam was surprised by Caleb’s ability, he remained confident. Caleb might be impressive, but so was he. With the thousand-talon coffer in his hands, Sam believed he could take on anyone, including Glenn and Logan, who were ranked first on the Legendary List.

“Caleb, show me what your divine talisman can do,” Sam challenged. He quickly slapped the thousand-talon coffer, once on the left and once on the right. “Thousand-talon coffer! Open!”

As soon as he said this, the coffer burst open with a loud crack, forming a sharp “V” shape. In an instant, hundreds of hidden weapons shot out from inside.

The weapons flew out in a dazzling rush, filling the air with a stunning array of deadly projectiles. Each one was made with such skill and strength that even a grandmaster martial artist would struggle against them. With all the weapons unleashed, the stage was set for a massive show of power.
