Chapter 2055 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
After a few drinks, everyone loosened up and started chatting. Dalen asked, âMs. Wesley, Iâve heard youâre the Sword Union disciples. Are you here for the Combat Tournament at the Sacred Wrym Summit?â
Crystal nodded. âYes, thatâs right.â She was reserved and not much of a talker.
Ruby, the lively one, chimed in with a smile. âDalen, truth be told, weâre here because our guildmaster told us to.
âThe Ancient Sage is hosting the Combat Tournament at the Sacred Wrym Summit this time. Itâs creating quite a buzz.
âNot only Sword Union, but other groups like the Celestial Alliance and the Mystics Arts Order are sending their top disciples to participate.â
âRuby, did the Sword Union only send the three of you?â Dalen asked curiously.
âNot really,â Ruby shook her head. â Weâre here just for fun. The real Sword Union contestants are someone else.â
Ruby and Miles were only at the later stages of being divine-level martial artists. Crystal, while strong, was only halfway to becoming a grandmaster.
They werenât up to the level of legends. So, they couldnât be the Sword Unionâs representatives in the tournament.
âSomeone else? Could it be Glenn?â Dalen asked, raising an eyebrow.
âI donât know about that.â Ruby chuckled.
She added, âGlenn is quite unpredictable. Whether heâll participate in the Combat Tournament, no one can say for sure.
âBut if he does decide to join, the championship will undoubtedly belong to our Sword Union.â
Glenn was not only at the top of the Legendary List but also made it to the Astonishing World List at a young age, making him the pinnacle talent of the Sword Union.
Unfortunately, Glenn was known for his arrogant and solitary nature, showing little regard for anyone except his guildmaster.
âRuby, letâs not speak too soon,â Crystal interjected.
She continued, âGlenn is indeed formidable, being the top talent of the Sword Union. However, donât forget thereâs another person who stands equal with him.â
âWho is it?â Ruby looked surprised.
âKirin, also known as Logan,â Crystal calmly stated.
âLogan? Is he stronger than Glenn?â Ruby asked.
âTheyâre evenly matched, whether youâre talking about the Legendary List or the Astonishing World List. We wonât know for sure whoâs stronger until they face off for real,â Crystal explained.
âCrystal, youâre boosting someone elseâs morale while undermining your prestige.â Miles protested.
He added, âWhatâs this about Kirin being comparable to Glenn? Kirin is just a name without substance. How could he be on par with Glenn?â
Glenn, the pride of Sword Union, became the ultimate grandmaster at 20.
In terms of talent and strength, he surpassed everyone in the Sword Unionâs century-long history, even making the guildmaster of that time feel inadequate.
To Miles, such an outstanding talent had no equal.
Crystal, with a serious expression, emphasized. âAnyone who shares the top spot with Glenn on the Legendary List is no ordinary person. You may not like it, but you canât underestimate Kirin.â
As a personâs cultivation level increases, they would realize the significance of being on the Legendary List.
âMs. Wesley is right. Logan is indeed extraordinary.â Dalen concurred.
He added, âI havenât seen him in person, but Iâve heard plenty of rumors. Heâs the kind of person who makes the geniuses in Oakvale feel inferior.â
âWow! Heâs that impressive?â Rubyâs eyes lit up.
âOf course.â Dalen smiled. âIâve heard that Logan not only has great talent and an impressive background but also has a charm that captivates many women.â
âI never thought heâd be handsome. Thatâs awesome!â Ruby exclaimed happily.
Good-looking, skilled in combat, and with an impressive background-men like that were hard to find.
âDonât daydream. Someone like Logan wouldnât even notice you.â Crystal dashed Rubyâs hopes with a dose of reality.
âCrystal! Seriously? Whatâs wrong with me? Why wouldnât he be interested?â Ruby proudly defended herself, highlighting her looks, intelligence, and popularity.
She continued, âIâm everyoneâs dream girl, and you just canât see it!â
Crystal looked at Ruby and said, âIf you had Dalenâs face, maybe youâd stand a chance.â 1
After hearing this, both Dustin and Dalen spit out their drinks.
