In the clash just now, not only did he fail to gain the upper hand, but he also came out worse. He knew contestant No. 5 Dustin had reached the level of a grandmaster, far surpassing Easton Foster in both cultivation and mastery of the Golden Light Mantra.

The realization left Orion deeply unsettled. There was always someone stronger, but Dustin’s potential was truly terrifying. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say Dustin was on par with a monster like Glenn Hadley.
