The crowd erupted in an uproar as soon as Dustin spoke.
“Such arrogance!”
“Shameless fool!”
“Who do you think you are? Reckless brat!”

The elite martial artists sprang to their feet and berated Dustin furiously.
The Lannopolis martial arts community had judged its fair share of notorious martial artists who had committed crimes before, but none had been as cheeky as Dustin.
With so many powerful elites present, the Martial League keeping order, and Lannopolis’s strongest fighters presiding over the proceedings, most would struggle to hold themselves upright, let alone speak.
“Dustin Fox, do you even know where you are? Do you think you’re still in Rivenesco? It’s one thing to dismiss these elite martial artists, but Mr. Cain? You’re not just arrogant. You’re laughable.” Bianca sneered mockingly.
Dustin remained nonchalant and unfazed by the commotion around him.
“National Hero, huh? Lannopolis’s so–called strongest fighter? Well, I’m unimpressed,” he said dismissively.
The room exploded with rage. The elite martial artists were barely restraining themselves from rushing forward
to teach him a lesson.
* At the center of the courtyard, Victor was visibly irritated.
He loathed young and arrogant martial artists like Dustin. He would leave no room for leniency for the impending
trial.
“What an irredeemable fool!” Bianca remarked with a smug smirk.
Watching Dustin’s court disaster both disgusted and entertained her.
This was nothing but self–destruction.
“Enough with your words, young man! Let’s see you walk through the field to fulfill the trial of Blades and Fire if you’re so bold!” someone shouted from the crowd.
“Walk?” Dustin chuckled disdainfully.
A challenge like this was a piece of cake to him.
But why should he play along? Why should he accept judgment from these so–called elites?
Without hesitation, he raised his foot and stomped down on the blades before him.
Boom!
The ground shook under his foot. The long blades shattered like fragile glass and scattered into fragments.
In mere seconds, the field of blades was in ruins.
“How dare you!”
Angry shouts erupted once more, but this time, some of the martial artists exchanged uneasy glances.

To destroy an entire field of blades and shatter them with a single stomp… few in the room could achieve such a feat.
Even Victor’s brow furrowed slightly as he observed Dustin.
To see someone so young wield such power was rare, even in the whole of Lovellia.
Dustin stepped past the shattered remains of the blades and stood before the roaring wall of fire.
His face remained calm. Suddenly, he raised his arm and swept it through the air.
Whoosh!
A sharp gust of wind roared forth and snuffed out the fire in an instant. Only faint embers flickered on the ground.
This time, the elites could not hold themselves back. Their anger erupted into chaos as they hurled insults at Dustin for disregarding their rules so brazenly.
Victor’s face was as dark as storm clouds. His displeasure was evident as he waved his hand sharply. “Gauntlet of Fists!”
The elite martial artists understood immediately.
Eight of them stepped forward, and each radiated an intense and menacing aura.
Their presence was bathed in murderous intent, and their fury toward Dustin was almost tangible.
An outsider, who destroyed the local Aquila family, repeatedly showed blatant disregard for the trials, and disrespected them, was something they could not tolerate.
“No one here will go easy on you, boy,” said one of them coldly. “Prepare to be destroyed.”
In the past, martial artists who survived the trial of Blades and Fire were treated with some measure of respect for their courage and skill. Their punishment would only follow after a formal trial.
But Dustin had insulted every one of them, trampled over their pride, and provoked their wrath. This time, there would be no mercy.
