Everyone was stunned when the crystal ball shattered into pieces. Their smiles disappeared and were replaced by looks of dismay and astonishment.
Everyone had assumed Desmond would win since he had turned the crystal ball golden. They never imagined that beyond turning golden; it could turn red.
What shocked them more was that Dustin had channeled so much excess internal energy after turning the crystal ball red that it exploded.
Just how much internal energy did he have to do that?
Everyone was speechless.
Desmond, who had been full of confidence, was also shaken. He didn’t expect his internal energy, which he had been so proud of, to be so weak compared to Dustin.
“Is this considered cheating?” Dustin smiled mockingly.
“Uh…” The crowd was at a loss for words
They weren’t blind. They had all seen how Dustin had easily passed all three tests.
It was one thing to excel in one category, but Dustin had performed outstandingly in all three tests, which meant that he was powerful.
In fact, he was far stronger than all of them. So they had no choice but to submit to him.
“I guess Boulderthorn fighters aren’t that impressive, are they? They sure know how to boast, but look at how badly they lost!” Georgia chirped, dishing back the taunts they received earlier.
“You-” Gianna was pissed but couldn’t say anything back. She didn’t want to admit it, but they had lost terribly after the last three tests.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself. It’s not over yet!” Desmond spat.
“Not over yet? Really?” Georgia was amused.
“The fourth test is the pressure test. It measures one’s ability to withstand pressure. We’ll let this round’s results determine the winner!” Desmond retorted.
“Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough?” Georgia smirked.
“Cut the crap! Do you have the balls to accept my challenge?” Desmond shouted.
Instead of replying, Georgia turned to look at Dustin since he was the one who should decide. She could only help him retort insults.
“Why wouldn’t I? I’ll beat you guys fair and square,” Dustin replied calmly.
“Fine. Follow me, then!” Desmond yelled, leading everyone to where the fourth test was held.
The setup was a closed space that resembled an escalator. But, a window in the front allowed. others to see what was happening inside.
Once a person entered the space, they would feel pressure pushing down on them. They would.
have to form a defense against the pressure
“Desmond, this guy is quite strong. Do you think well win? Gianna whispered. She had lost confidence after losing the last three tests
“She’s right. Why don’t we surrender now? Well embarrass ourselves if we lose again. Devon supported Gianna. He still had not gotten over Dustin & performance earlier
“What are you guys so afraid of? There’s no way this guy has no weakness”
