Chapter 1172: The Martial Alliance’s Buzz

…

The next morning, the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement at the headquarters of the Martial Alliance.

Since the news of Dustin challenging Ronald had spread yesterday, the entire martial world was in an uproar.

Martial sects and martial practitioners from all corners flocked to witness this extraordinary showdown.

Dustin’s reputation as a Young Grandmaster had long reverberated throughout the Balermo martial world. His feats in martial tournaments, defeating the Grandmaster Augustus, and his stunning performance in the Black Forest had turned him into a legend, widely celebrated.

Countless young martial aspirants regarded Dustin as their idol and inspiration.

As for Ronald, his reputation was even more daunting.

He was the leader of the Balermo Martial Alliance and the number one martial artist in the world of martial arts, a figure that could awe anyone.

The clash between a Young Grandmaster and the martial world’s leader, the confrontation of two mighty titans, naturally drew an enormous crowd.

At this moment, the entrance to the Martial Alliance was swarmed with people.

Martial sects and schools of all sizes in Balermo sent their representatives.

The likes of the Skycrane Sect, the Shinefield Sect, the Soul-suppressing Sect, the Temple of Boundless Compassion, the Galewind Hall, and the Stellar Gate, among others, all came to witness the event.

Some of these sects still harbored resentment toward Dustin due to the Black Forest incident, and they saw this as an opportunity to kick him while he was down.

In many people’s eyes, Dustin’s challenge to Ronald was like a moth flying into a flame, a path to self-destruction.
