“You actually dare to challenge Dustin? Do you have a death wish?” Miles took a couple of steps forward and red fiercely at Krel and Jimmy, exuding a strong presence.


    Although Crystal and the others remained silent, they all stood beside Dalen, showing their stance.


    As Sword Union’s disciples, they had no fear of the Boulderthorn.


    Jimmy eximed in anger, “Hey! We’re elite disciples of the Boulderthorn. Are you going against us for this random punk?”


    Dalen said coldly, “Does it matter if we are? Do you think Shadow Citadel is afraid of you?”


    Miles said loudly, “Not only Shadow Citadel’s disciples, but Sword Union’s disciples are also ready to stand withDustin!”


    Jimmy’s expression changed instantly upon hearing his words. “What? You’re Sword Union’s disciples?”


    Dealing with the Shadow Citadel alone would be easier as the Boulderthorn wasn’t afraid of the Shadow Citadel.


    However, the situation would be entirely different if the Sword Union was added to the mix.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Jimmy initially considered Dustin to be a random nobody. He was taken aback when he discovered that Dustin had connections to the Shadow Citadel and the Sword Union.


    He realized that the situation had be moreplicated.


    “This is absurd! Do you think I’m joking?” Miles quickly presented the Sword Union disciple badge, confirming their identity.


    The revtion stunned Jimmy, extinguishing thest glimmer of hope in his heart.


    At that moment, Krel’s face turned ashen. He never anticipated that an unknown person, without any affiliation, would possess remarkable strength and backing from elite disciples of major sects.


    It seemed that the uing confrontation would indeed be a life-or -death battle.


    “I have signed a deadly duel agreement with this kiddo,” Krel said solemnly. ” Whether you are part of the Shadow Citadel or the Sword Union, no one is allowed to intervene. Any interference could ruin the deathmatch’s rules!”


    Jimmy chimed in quickly, saying, That’s right! Everyone here can be a witness. This kiddo and Krel are engaged in a deadly duel. No one ispermitted to lend any help during this match!”


    As long as the Sword Union’s and Shadow Citadel’s disciples refrained from getting involved, there was still a chance for victory.


    Dalen said calmly, “Don’t worry. We won’t interfere in the match between you two. Our role is merely to ensure the smooth progression of thepetition. Whether it’s life or death, it all depends on your skills.”


    “Good! You better keep your word!” Jimmy’s eyes lit up with instant motivation.


    “Fools! Do you really think you can defeat Dustin? Stop daydreaming!” Miles sneered.


    Although Dustin’s reputation wasn’t prominent, his strength was undeniable.


    He could hold his own against Kendricks, who ranked eighth on the Legendary List, without risking his life. Therefore, handling a few Boulderthorn disciples would be a piece of cake.


    Krel said fiercely, “Don’t be too confident. The oue is still uncertain!”


    He recognized Dustin’s strength but felt confident in himself after the breakthrough.


    Right then, looking worried, Melissa tried to mediate, “Krel, Dustin, the cauldron has already shattered. There’s no way to proceed with thepetition. Shouldn’t we just call it off?”


    “The 50-thousand-pound cauldron is broken, but there’s still a 100-thousand -pound cauldron. We can continue thepetition,” Dalen said, gesturing atthe cauldron.


    “A 100-thousand-pound cauldron?”


    Everyone turned their gaze simultaneously toward the other side upon hearing his suggestion. They all stared at the massive bronze cauldron.


    The bronze cauldron stood nearly 16 feet tall, resembling a small mountain. It instilled fear in those who beheld it.


    Many had attempted to challenge the 50-thousand-pound cauldron since the test began, yet none had dared to approach the 100-thousand-pound cauldron.


    Attempting to challenge the 100- thousand-pound cauldron was no longer within the realm of possibility for a Divine-level martial artist. Only a grandmaster martial artist could undertake such a feat.


    Interestingly, grandmaster martirtists participating in thepetition were exempt from this challenging process. They could directly sign up for thepetition and be ced in the highest-level Group A.


    This situation led to the perception that only grandmaster martial artists could lift the cauldron, but they were not required to prove their strength in this manner.


    Therefore, the 100-thousand-pound cauldron had essentially be nothing more than a decoration. Until now, no one had attempted to lift it.


    Upon hearing Dalen’s words, a question arose in the martial artists’ minds.


    Could Dustin and Krel manage to lift the 100-thousand-pound cauldron?


    If they couldn’t lift it, how would thepetition proceed?


    “What nonsense are you talking about? Who can lift a 100-thousand-pound cauldron? Don’t be ridiculous!” Jimmy snorted.


    Even Krel, who had taken the Tigazuril, couldn’t possibly lift a 100-thousand- pound cauldron. Not only was it incredibly heavy, but it was also exceptionallyrge, making the task challenging.


    Lifting it would require a minimum of several thousands of pounds of strength.


    Dalen taunted, “Just because you can’t, it doesn’t mean others are the same. With such a narrow vision, how could you understand Dustin’s strength?”


    “You’re spouting nonsense!” Jimmy red and retorted, “If this punk can lift the 100-thousand-pound cauldron, I’ll eat the cauldron!”


    “What? Trying to get a free meal again?


    Dalen smirked and turned to Dustin. ” Dustin, given hisrge appetite, why don’t you showcase your skills and let him enjoy a feast!”


    “No problem.” Dustin smiled.


    With no other words, he made his way to the 100-thousand-pound cauldron.


    Standing in front of the cauldron, which was nearly 16 feet tall, Dustin appeared particrly small.


    “Is he really going to challenge the 100- thousand-pound cauldron?”


    “I think he’s just seeking attention. Only a grandmaster can move the 100- thousand-pound cauldron!”


    “Exactly! This massive cauldron has been here for days, untouched. Even if this person is powerful, seeding inthe challenge is impossible!”


    A heated discussion erupted among the martial artists. They perceived Dustin’s actions as a clear overestimation of his abilities.


    Believing that Dustin’s actions were driven by the pride stemming from his earlier victory over Krel, they thought that Dustin was unable to recognize his limit.


    “He’s truly a fool! Let’s see just how capable he really is!” Krel sneered, anticipating Dustin’s failure.


    If Dustin dared to challenge the 100- thousand-pound cauldron, there was a high likelihood that he would suffer burst circtory pathways, severe injuries, and end up spitting blood.


    Krel believed that he had a winning chance against Dustin in this situation.
