Chapter 245
Maximus witnessed how Dustin handled the Illusory Sword Technique with ease. Even if he maxed up
his powers and executed the complete set of moves in the technique, he still failed to harm a hair on
Dustin’s head, not to mention that Dustin had only fended off the attacks with one hand. To Maximus,
these were proof that Dustin was greatly ahead of him in terms of capability.
“You have indeed mastered the illusory Sword Technique, but unfortunately, there are three flaws.
Dustin suggested mildly. He accorded Maximus respect due to the latter’s humbleness. Else, he would
have sent him flying out of the ring.
“What are the three flaws?” Maximus furrowed his brow.
“The third move, the ninth move, and the twenty–sixth move.” Dustin deliberately offered a reminder.
“The flaws you exhibited in the three moves were extremely subtle. They will go unnoticeable in the
eyes of an average martial artist, but they will also put you at a huge disadvantage when you are
fighting the real masters.”
“Impossible! I have been practicing the technique forever. How could there be fatal flaws?” Maximus
was in disbelief.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Sure, you have spent a lot of time on the practice, but it is also true that you exhibit those flaws. If my
guess is right, your mentor did not teach you everything–he hid part of the three moves from you. Plus,
the three moves are extremely crucial and damaging. The mentor must have wanted to put you in
harm’s way. Why else
would anyone do that? You’d better look out.” Dustin lowered his voice into a whisper that was only
audible to
both of them.
The revelation was a huge blow for Maximus. “That’s nonsense! My mentor sees me as his son. He’d
never
put me in danger!”
“I’m not going to say more. Believe me or not, it’s all up to you.” Dustin shrugged and sank into silence.
The only reason he gave Maximus the advice was because he saw potential in the guy. Whether
Maximus trusted his word and whether the man lived or died, Dustin would not be affected in any way.
“We lost the battle today. Hence, we shall not bring up the topic of Immortunol. Farewell!” Maximus
nodded at
Dustin and left the ring in strides.
“He won! The Harmons won again!” Ruth squealed in delight at the sight. Who else would beat Dustin
when even Maximus, ranked sixth on The Hundred Immortals, admitted deleat?
“You punk! We shall see! This is not the end!” After shooting a death glare at Dustin, Brody fled the
scene with his group of men, looking demotivated. He thought that their plan was perfect, only to be
ruined by a formidable opponent out of the blue. Talk about bad luck!
“Otto, have we gotten ourselves into trouble? The young men and ladies, who had previously mocked
Dustin, trembled at the sight of the victorious man in the ring.
“Fuck! He’s a monster. Let’s leave now!” Otto was covered in a cold sweat and fled the scene
immediately. He would be easily crushed by Dustin, Judging from how the man had defeated the King
of Kicks and Maximus ” Lightning Blade” Kane.

“Young man, congratulations on the win. I am the leader of Humming hill. I wonder if you’d be
interested in joining us as a consultant? Our pay and benefits are among the best! Right after Dustin
exited the ring, a group of martial artists circled him to poach the talent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Humminghill? That’s a really tiny guild. Better not stunt the growth of our handsome dude here. Well,
in my opinion, you should join us at the Valley of Joy! We have hot chicks around, and we offer a
wealth of resources. I guarantee you’ll be on cloud nine after joining us!”
“Young man, I am the Falcon King of Glenstead and have a good–locking and well–educated
granddaughter. If you’re willing. I will offer you her hand in marriage —”
Dustin was speechless by the greedy expressions on their faces. His excellent performance in beating
the King of Kicks and Maximus “Lightning Blade” Kane had attracted a high level of attention. He made
a mental note to keep a low profile moving forward,
“Get out of my way. At that moment. Natasha squeezed her way through the crowd with her people.
Then, she took Dustin by the arm and publicly declared their relationship, “First of all, I’d like to
introduce him as my husband. You’d better give up if you’re trying to matchmake!” Not only that, she
kissed Dustin on the cheek as a reward, causing him to turn red in the face. Her action was
embarrassing and rather improper in front of the crowd.
“Darling, let’s go!” She ignored the eyes on them and left the guild with Dustin in tow, looking gleeful,
proud, and boastful.
The battle, which was full of twists and turns, ended with a victory for the Harmon family. From that
moment, a new talent rose in Balerno’s martial arts scene. After beating Maximus. Dustin naturally
assumed his opponent’s ranking, and he was subsequently ranked sixth on The Hundred Immortals,
which was a brilliant feat for a newcomer.
