AN UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE - Season 24 Episode 38

The spectators erupted into chaos at the sight before them. They never expected George to be so ruthless.

Despite winning the match, he proceeded to stomp on Jermaine’s head. This act was not only brutal but also showed a complete disregard for humanity.

“Damn it! This Giant is out of control! He didn’t even leave Jermaine’s body intact. This is unacceptable.”

“I can’t stand this. If Jermaine hadn’t held back, this Giant would be dead already. How dare he flaunt his arrogance?”

“His ruthless behavior will catch up to him eventually.”

The spectators’ anger boiled over as they shouted curses at George.

Life and death were accepted as part of the match in the battle ring. Generally, everyone accepted that outcome without much protest.

However, the martial world valued leaving room for future encounters. If there was no deep-seated grudge, it was considered appropriate to determine the victor without resorting to complete annihilation.

George had killed Jermaine to win the match, and while brutal, it was within reason. But mutilating the body afterward crossed the line into pure inhumanity.

“He’s trying to intimidate us.” Aurora gritted her teeth.

“Fate can be cruel, but self-made misfortune is unforgivable,” Alicia replied. “His actions have ignited the fury of all the martial artists. Someone will give him a lesson he won’t forget in the next match.”

She narrowed her eyes. Her tone was calm, but a cold, unyielding fury burned in her gaze.

Jermaine was a prodigious talent skilled in the Phantom Reaper technique. He had been a marvel of the martial world, with limitless potential ahead of him. 2

His sudden demise was a significant blow to the martial world. The mutilation of his body afterward only deepened the outrage.

“Those who dared to come into our territory and provoke us today won’t make it out alive,” Fenley said coldly.

As Jermaine’s compatriot, Fenley couldn’t let this injustice slide. Anyone with a sense of justice and patriotism would never tolerate such behavior.

“The Dragonmarsh martial artists are nothing but weaklings.” George laughed maniacally as he stepped on Jermaine’s lifeless body. He didn’t care about the crowd’s reactions.

Oron frowned but stayed silent.

The match was free of restrictions. The referee could only intervene if the contestant surrendered or fell off the ring.

“Dammit! How dare you kill Jermaine? We’ll take you down!”

A furious shout erupted from the crowd. Immediately, a group of Soultech Union disciples brandished their weapons and shouted threats to tear George apart.

But as they advanced a few steps, a lightning bolt struck the ground just ten yards in front of them and created a smoldering crater. Upon seeing that, the disciples froze and were too terrified to advance.

“Matches are decided by fate. No open retaliation is allowed, or you’ll become our enemies,” Oron warned. 1

The Soultech Union disciples exchanged uneasy glances before retreating. Their eyes, filled with a burning desire for revenge, remained fixed on George.

“Contestant number 30 wins the third match,” Oron announced and ordered the removal of Jermaine’s body.

Despite the result, the applause was sparse. Only a few foreign spectators and contestants clapped.

“Listen up, Dragonmarsh martial artists! Next time, you’d better surrender right away when you face me, or you’ll end up like that guy,” George declared.

His voice was dripping with menace as he swaggered off the ring. Despite his previous injuries, his incredible recovery had him nearly back to full strength.

“Dammit! He’s so arrogant. One day, I’m going to kill him.”

“He’s just got lucky in that match. Big deal! Hmmph!”

“This Giant’s arrogance won’t last. Once he encounters our expert, he won’t leave in one piece.”

The spectators seethed with anger at George’s arrogance. But they could only curse at him to vent their frustrations.

“The match continues. Contestants number four and 29, please come forward.”

After cleaning the battle ring, Oron announced the start of the fourth match. The schedule was packed, and they couldn’t afford delays over one match’s outcome.

George’s fate would be revealed later, depending on future results.

As the spectators held their breath, two new contestants stepped into the battle ring.
