It was dusk, and in a private room of Poise Brothel, Dustin and the others gathered to listen to Terra's report.Although the murderer was still at large, Terra had found out something through his investigation."Dalen, based on our Shadow Citadel's intelligence report, I've found something out," Terra began. He continued, "Someone saw the killer last night. According to the witness, the killer was skinny, and his face was hideous. There's also a black mark on his forehead."I've hired an artist to draw a portrait of the killer based on the witness's description. Here it is."Terra took a portrait out from his pocket and handed it to Dalen carefully.Dalen looked at the portrait and frowned.The person in the portrait was indeed hideous, skinny, and bony. There was a palm-sized black mark on his left forehead, which looked like snake skin.His creepy appearance was hard to ignore, let alone forget."You sure this is the murderer?" Dalen asked, puzzled.He knew almost all the

Even if these untalented people insisted on practicing swordsmanship, there would be huge obstacles along the way.Yet, they had found an exception.Despite his deformity, this man's sword technique had surpassed many martial arts geniuses.How unbelievable!This man was out of the ordinary.There might be thousands of martial arts geniuses in the world, but there was only one untalented martial artist who overshadowed the geniuses!No one could imagine what the man had gone through in order to achieve his current state."Looks like we have a tough fight ahead."Dalen took a sip of tea. Then, he glanced at Terra and asked, "Anything else besides the killer's portrait?""Yes, according to our investigation, the killer killed seven people last night!" Terra's words surprised everyone."Seven? Who were they?" Dalen raised his brows."Aside from Aldric Lang of Bloodfiery Legion and four of Evil Quintet, Spearhawk Vincent of Celestial Alliance was murdered too," reported Terra.

"What?" When they heard Dustin's analysis, they found it hard to believe.The idea that someone wanted to kill all of Dragonmarsh's martial artists, regardless if the person could succeed, was scary enough. Only a maniac would think of something like that.Crazy people like them were the most fearsome."Terra, did all of those people that were killed sign up for the Combat Tournament?" Dalen couldn't help asking.Terra nodded. "That's right. Although they come from all sorts of sects, they had a common goal. All of them wanted to show their prowess at the Combat Tournament."Aldric, Vincent, Simpson, and even Shadow Citadel's Evil Quintet, had signed up for the tournament. They planned to show off their skills at Sacred Wrym Summit.However, their young life had ended before the tournament began."If that's the case, Dustin's speculation should be right."Dalen stood up and circled the table while beating his folding fan on his palm. Then, he said thoughtfully, "Any martial a

"I don't dare say it's a brilliant idea, but it's simple and effective. If we can grab the opportunity, it shouldn't be difficult to catch the killer." Dalen said with a smile."Mr. Shade, your idea isn't bad. One question, though. Who's going to be the bait?" Crystal quickly grasped the main problem.The most difficult part was to choose who to be the bait.The person must be a contestant and extremely skilled, daring to take the risk. This way, the bait could come out unscathed when faced with the killer's attack.Otherwise, they might lose the bait and let the killer escape."Well…" Dalen shook the folding fan and looked toward Dustin meaningfully.Although he didn't speak, it was obvious who he chose.Crystal suddenly patted Dustin's shoulder and announced, "There's no need to choose. I think Dustin is a good fit! He can even block Kendricks' attack. I'm sure he'll be safe when faced with the killer's attack!""That's right! If Dustin agrees to take part, I'm sure he can ge

A moment later, a bunch of martial artists dressed in various styles were lining up to register at the registration booth of Sacred Wrym Summit's Combat Tournament. Dustin was also among them.After they confirmed their plan, Dustin was led by Dalen and the others to the registration booth.Although the sun was going to set soon, there were still many people there to sign up.However, the Combat Tournament had specific requirements this time. One had to pass a trial to sign up.The test was simple. One must demonstrate the ability to lift a cauldron. Sacred Wrym Summit prepared three bronze cauldrons weighing ten thousand pounds, 50 thousand pounds, and 100 thousand pounds.One would be qualified if they could raise a ten thousand pound cauldron and would be assigned to Group C. If they won after competing with their peers, they could advance to Group B.Those who could raise a 50 thousand pound cauldron would be considered outstanding, directly advancing to Group B. After winn

"It's not easy to lift a 50 thousand-pound cauldron. Thousands of people register daily, but only a few can lift it!"The burly man's words caused many to doubt him.A 10 thousand-pound cauldron was way different from a 50 thousand-pound cauldron.A lot of people could easily lift a 10 thousand-pound cauldron. However, they couldn't even lift a 50 thousand-pound cauldron at all.Plus, one had to lift it over their head to succeed. It was obvious how difficult it was."You should consider it carefully. It's not easy to lift a 50 thousand-pound cauldron," the judge reminded."I've trained hard for a decade just for today. I'm determined to lift this 50 thousand-pound cauldron! You guys just need to watch me perform!" the burly man said confidently before walking over to the second cauldron.The second cauldron was twice the size of the first cauldron. It was almost 10 feet tall.One felt helpless just looking at it.The burly man walked over to the 50 thousand-pound cauldron. Af

The burly man collapsed to the ground.As he had gone beyond his limits, his blood vessels burst. After spitting out a large amount of blood, he fell unconscious.His muscles were torn, and his eyes were bloodshot. His internal meridians were also heavily injured.It would be a problem for him to get out of bed for the next few days, let alone compete."See! I said he couldn't do it, yet he still wanted to show off. Look what happened!""Indeed, not anyone can challenge the 50-thousand-pound cauldron.""He just passed the test. Now he's done it. He pushed himself too hard and even vomited blood. He truly overestimated himself!"Seeing the burly man dropping to the ground, the crowd burst into discussion. Some were laughing at him, while others pitied him.It was already impressive for him to be able to raise the ten-thousand-pound cauldron. As for the 50-thousand-pound cauldron, only those with extraordinary abilities could lift it.After all, it was two different things for o

Dustin had already altered his looks so that he didn't stand out so much. Thus, it was weird that a beautiful woman would hit on him."Melissa, the martial world is filled with dangers. Don't simply talk to strangers. There's a lot of hypocritical people in this world nowadays."At this moment, the two young men before Melissa turned to face them.One was dressed in green, while the other wore yellow.The man in green was tall and muscular, giving off an impressive air.The man in yellow was short and had a gaunt face. One would think he was malnourished. "Krel, Jimmy, this is Dustin Rhys. He's also here to participate in the Combat Tournament," Melissa quickly introduced."So many people signed up for the competition, but not all can pass the test. Some are destined to just be the spectators," the man in green, Krel Webb, replied indifferently.There was a hint of indifference in his eyes when he glanced at Dustin."Krel is right. Only a few out of many here can pass the tes
