Chapter 174 

Dustin was surprised, and Metal Mask’s expression shifted drastically. 

This man was not just anyone. He was the Master of the Order of the Divine Hall! 

The two tocked eyes. The air between them was heavy with unspoken tension. 

“Beyond sovereign grade,” Metal Mask uttered coldly. 

“Likewise,” Dustin said in an equally indifferent tone. 

Metal Mask frowned, and his mind reeled in disbelief. 

As the Master of the Order, he surpassed the sovereign grade. It was a realm others could only dream of. 

When he first learned that Lucas’s only student had reached the sovereign grade, he was startled enough to take action personally. 

But the reality before him was far more terrifying. Dustin had not just caught up to the sovereign grade… he had surpassed it! 

“This level at this age… this has never happened in three centuries of martial arts history in Lovellia!‘ thought Métal Mask. 

His chest surged with a killing intent so intense it felt suffocating. 

Lucas’s only student was far too dangerous… 

Who could predict how powerful he would become in a few short years? 

For the first time in his life, Metal Mask felt true fear. 

He could not let Dustin live another day. 

“I’ll kill you!” 

With a single word, Metal Mask charged again with murderous intent. 

But Dustin was not fazed. He stared spitefully as he met the charge head–on. 

The faint trace of a familiar aura around Metal Mask did not escape him. It was the same as the assassins who had come for Hansel and the Torell siblings two days ago. 

There was no doubt. This man was from the organization that had destroyed the Fox family. Their feud would be settled here! 

Boom! 

The two clashed once more in the courtyard. The impact of their collision sent shockwaves raging like a storm and forced the surrounding elite martial artists to scramble back in panic. 

It was carnage, unlike anything they had ever seen. Even the aftershocks were enough to make their legs tremble uncontrollably. 

Victor’s gaze was fixed on the fight and his body was drenched in cold sweat. 

The raw, unbridled power of the battle left no doubt in his mind. Either of these two could crush him like an ant. “I’ve only been out of the martial world for a few years… how did it come to this?” Victor murmured as his face

turned pale as death. 

Two fighters of unparalleled power had emerged. One of them was literally a young boy.

“That masked man looks strong,” Bianca murmured as she watched the battle unfold, and her gaze shone with hope. 

It would be perfect if the man could kill Dustin here. Even if he could not, it would be enough to cripple him. 

Thud! Thud! Thud! 

In the courtyard, Dustin and Metal Mask each retreated a few paces as they matched evenly once again. 

Dustin frowned. 

He rolled back his sleeve to reveal a hoop on his wrist. 

When he killed Lord Barbenheim, he had removed the hoop on his other hand. 

It was time for this one to come off as well. 

“Dad… forgive me,” Dustin muttered quietly before removing the hoop from his wrist. 

The hoop fell to the ground. 

Boom! 

rec 

A loud noise echoed like a boulder smashing into the earth. The vibrations rippled through the air and left everyone stunned and numb. 

“What… what’s that?” one of the elite martial artists stammered in a trembling voice. 

A nuclear weapon? 

Victor gasped as terror gripped his heart. 

Moments ago, he had almost dared to challenge this young man… 

Metal Mask’s eyes narrowed in shock. 

Was this still not Dustin’s limit? 

Before he could think further, a gust of wind roared through the air. 

Whoosh! 

Dustin moved like a bolt of lightning and tore through the space between them. In an instant, he was in front of Metal Mask. 

Before the latter could react, Dustin’s fist was hurtling toward him. 

Metal Mask was caught off guard. He barely managed to cross his arms in defense. 

A thunderous explosion rang out as Metal Mask was sent flying backward. His body crashed through a massive tree and slammed into the high walls of the Cain family villa. He disappeared into the rubble. 

The elite martial artists of Lannopolis were frozen in place. Their mouths gaped in disbelief. Dustin, with his killing intent surging, strode forward without hesitation.
