Chapter: 536
“It’s true that he’s strong, but I heard that Dustin Rhys is not someone to underestimate either. Even Joshua Hummer, who had just reached divinity, lost to him,” another person responded.
“Why would you compare Tatum to Joshua?” Abby humphed.
“One hasn’t even fully reached divinity yet, while the other already did that five years ago. With Tatum’s skills today, how hard can it be for him to defeat a country bumpkin?”
“She’s right. No matter how I look at it, Tatum has a higher winning chance,” Ralph opined, and everyone instantly nodded in agreement.
Ralph was a revered senior martial artist and the witness for today’s duel, so naturally, everyone believed him.
Glancing at the people around him, Dustin shook his head with a smile.
“What are you laughing at? Did Grandpa say anything wrong?” Abby demanded, annoyed.
“Aren’t you guys being too hasty? The battle hasn’t even begun yet.” Dustin smiled.
“Why? Do you think that Dustin might win?” Abby pursed her lips.
“We’ll only know once the batter starts,” Dustin answered.
Abby humphed.
“Stop pretending when you don’t know anything ” She rolled her eyes.
“We’llknow who’s better soon enough!”
“Even if Dustin doesn’t win against Tatum, he’s still a rare genius, so we should still respect him,” the man from earlier said.
“You’re right. Just getting Tatum to challenge him to a duel is a feat of its own. Otherwise, Boulderthorn wouldn’t have wasted so much energy on this.”
“I heard that he’s only around twenty. It’s extremely rare to see someone that age reach divinity. He’s practically a genius!”
“Even if he doesn’t win against Tatum, it will be an honorable defeat.”
Everyone began to chip in their opinions. Although they were sure Dustin would lose to Tatum, they still acknowledged the former’s talents and skills
“I heard that Dustin doesn’t have a quild and is self-taught He’s bound to shine if he enters Ironshade!” one said
Another chuckled.
“Ironshade only has around a hundred disciples. A talent like him would bewasted there”
Someone else agreed, “In terms of size and growth, Highfield is definitely better. I’m sure Dustin. wouldn’t refuse my offer.”
“Hey, are you guys forgetting about Steel Legion?” Abby shouted unhappily.
“My guild is obviously the best If Dustin actually wants to pick a guild, he’d clearly choose us!”
Dustin was puzzled. He couldn’t figure out where Abby got her confidence from How could she be so sure when she didn’t even know who he was yet? Worse, Ralph seemed to think the same, judging from his smug expression.
