An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1566

A deafening explosion reverberated through the air.

Dustin and Cooper both threw a punch, creating shockwaves of energy. Cooper was sent flying, like he was hit by a train, soaring over 30 feet before crashing down.

Before fully landing, his body suddenly burst with a resounding "pop," like a balloon, transforming into a gruesome shower of flesh and blood.

His once robust physique now became a downpour of blood and flesh, with bones pulverized beyond recognition.

The scene was akin to shoving a bomb into his belly.

Following the explosion, an abrupt hush enveloped the entire area.

The onlookers gawked, looking in disbelief and astonishment. Was Cooper, famed for his impenetrable skin and iron bones, just annihilated by a single punch?

"H-How is this even possible? Cooper ... he turned into freaking dust!"

"Damn! One punch, and Cooper's gone. Who the heck is this brat?"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, chaos erupted in the crowd. Spectators stared at Dustin as if he was a monster.

Cooper, a powerhouse halfway to becoming a grandmaster, was considered nearly unbeatable for anyone below the grandmaster rank.

However, this formidable figure had been punched into oblivion by Dustin. It was an unbelievable sight. Was this kid some kind of grandmaster martial artist?

"No way! Is this guy really that powerful?" Scott widened his eyes, utterly astonished.

Dustin remained expressionless, lightly stomping his foot. A powerful surge of true energy erupted from him.

The sound of explosions filled the air like fireworks. Every wasp struck by the true energy exploded into bits, not one escaping unscathed.

The pieces of the bodies of tens of thousands of wasps rained down from the sky, covering the ground like rainfall.

Undeterred, Elysia continued her assault. She pulled out a mysterious potion, drank it in one gulp, then opened her mouth and exhaled toward Dustin.

The exhaled breath had an icy chill and swept forward, covering the ground in a frosty layer. Even from a distance, everyone could feel the bone-chilling cold.

Dustin stood frozen at the attack and turned into an ice sculpture by the icy breath.
