The bronze cauldron sent Krel flying after the collision and heavily crashed onto the ground with a rumble, causing debris to fly and dust to rise.
For a moment, the whole venue was dead silent. No one had expected such an outcome in the fight between the two.
Dustin not only withstood the impact of the cauldron head-on but also managed to counter-attack and severely injure Krel. It was simply unbelievable!
“Damn, this guy is amazing! He actually kicked around a cauldron weighing 50 thousand pounds like a ball!”
“Holy shit! He is truly extraordinary to slap away the cauldron with one hand!”
“We have to admit that we’d completely underestimated him. This guy is definitely not ordinary!”
After a brief silence, the venue erupted into an uproar.
Everyone was astonished by Dustin’s immense power. The cauldron, which wouldn’t even budge when they tried to lift it, was being tossed around by him as if it were a toy. It was a truly terrifying sight to behold.
“No… Impossible… This can’t be happening!” Looking at Krel lying on the ground and coughing up blood, Jimmy kept shaking his head in disbelief.
“Krel was born with extraordinary strength, and his cultivation is profound. How could he lose to this kid?
Dustin was just a nobody who didn’t belong to any sect or guild. How could he be compared to the elite disciples of Boulderthorn, especially an ace like Krel?
It was hard to believe that someone with exceptional talent like Krel would lose to such a person.
“Who… who are you?” Krel coughed as he struggled to stand up and point at Dustin, his face filled with bewilderment.
The force from the cauldron’s collision had been too great. He couldn’t block it head-on at all.
If he hadn’t activated his energy at the last moment to form a protective shield around his body, he might not have been able to stand up now.
Along with his shock, he couldn’t comprehend why the thin and frail- looking Dustin could unleash such a powerful force. Could it be that he truly possessed the Divine Strength?
“Who I am is not important,” Dustin said indifferently. You look like you’re about to pass out anytime.”
He offered, “Well, as long as you apologize and admit that you’ve misjudged me, I’ll consider letting you off the hook. How about that?”
“Nonsense!” Krel was infuriated by his words and shouted, “You little brat, do you think you’ve already won? Let me tell you, that’s impossible!”
“What? So you want to continue the fight?” Dustin asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Of course, we must continue! The winner has yet to be determined, and I may not necessarily lose to you!” Krel said sternly.
“That’s right! Don’t get too cocky, kid.
Krel has plenty of tricks up his sleeve. Defeating you is a piece of cake for him! “Jimmy cheered on the side.
“Oh? Is that so? Then I’ll wait and see,” Dustin said with a smirk.
Originally, he only intended to teach Krel a lesson and make him back down. He didn’t expect him to be so ungrateful.
Not only did he not appreciate his mercy, but he also insisted on pushing things to the limit. Since this was the case, he shouldn’t blame Dustin for being ruthless.
“Punk, you do have some skill. I must admit that I underestimated you, but unfortunately, you’ve met me…” Krel said with a grim expression.
He reached into his shirt and retrieved a square box made from cedar wood. When he opened the box, a purple tablet was revealed. It emitted a strong fragrance.
Krel took a deep breath. A hint of reluctance flickered in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
“This Tigazuril was originally my trump card prepared for the final duel. I didn’t expect to use it today because of you.
“Although it’s somewhat regrettable, I’m willing to use this precious tablet as long as I can annihilate you!”
He picked up the purple tablet and threw it into his mouth. The tablet melted upon contact with his tongue. The Soul Elixir contained within instantly permeated his limbs and nourished every circulatory pathway in his body.
All his fatigue dissipated, and he became revitalized as if he possessed boundless energy. Supplemented by the Soul Elixir, the energy in his body began to increase substantially.
“Ah-!” Krel roared, and a terrifying energy erupted.
In an instant, his hair stood on end, and his body expanded, tearing his tight-fitting clothes into pieces and revealing a sturdy physique underneath.
At this moment, his cultivation had boosted, and he had leveled up from a fully developed Divine-level martial artist to halfway becoming a grandmaster. His strength had undoubtedly multiplied significantly!
“What a powerful oppressive force! It seems he has achieved a breakthrough!
“As expected from the ace of Boulderthorn’s Forsakenstriders, he even has the Tigazuril. What a formidable presence he is!”
“What is a Tigazuril? Is it very powerful?”
“Of course! Tigazuril is extremely powerful and rare because of its complex refining process. Those who consume it will likely achieve a breakthrough to reach a higher level. Gems like this are priceless. Even with money, they’re hard to come by!”
“He’s willing to use even the Tigazuril. It seems today will be a fight to the death!”
Seeing Krel’s soaring momentum, the crowd couldn’t help but discuss him among themselves. Previously, they thought the outcome was already determined, but they didn’t expect him to have a trump card.
By leveraging the power of Tigazuril to break through his cultivation level and greatly increase his strength, it was obvious that he was going all out.
“Do you see this, punk? This is how powerful Krel is!” Jimmy boasted as he laughed wildly after noticing the situation reversing.
He continued, “I admit that you have some skills, but so what? Now that Krel has achieved a breakthrough, his strength has greatly increased.
“Dealing with you will be easy. If you’re smart, kneel and beg for mercy now. Otherwise, prepare to face your death!”
He didn’t expect Krel to take Tigazuril so easily. It seemed that he was determined to kill today.
“Kneel and beg for mercy?” Dustin scoffed and said, “Do you really believe that swallowing a tablet could change anything? I must say that you’re quite naive.”
“Hmph! Even at the brink of death, you still act tough. Soon, you’ll know the power of Tigazuril!” Jimmy sneered, wearing an expression that showed his excitement to watch Dustin’s death. 2
“You should pride yourself on making me take the Tigazuril. But now, I must make you pay with your blood!” Krel howled with anger before kicking the 50 -thousand-pound bronze cauldron in Dustin’s direction.
With a rumble, the gigantic bronze cauldron shot up in the air and flew at incredible speed toward Dustin. Wherever it passed, dust rose, and nothing could stand in its way!
