An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 789

"Come on! You can do it!" Many people began to cheer for Desmond.

Nearly half of the crystal ball had turned golden. He needed to hold out a little longer, and the crystal would turn fully golden.

"Aargh!" Desmond gritted his teeth and continued channeling his internal energy into the crystal ball. His strength was draining fast. His face beaded with sweat.

Seconds later, the crystal ball hummed as it turned fully golden.

Desmond collapsed onto the ground. He was relieved and exhausted.

"Hooray! He did it!"

"Good job, Desmond!"

Everyone cheered excitedly.

"You sure are strong. Well, congratulations! You get to advance to the next level!" The alliance staff praised with a smile.

Few people could turn the crystal ball gold in one shot.

"What now, punk? Do you accept the outcome yet?" Devon sneered.

"Did you see that? That's how powerful Desmond is. He easily surpassed the limit and advanced to the next level. Can someone like you do that?" Gianna gloated.

"What's the point of being fast when internal energy is more important for a martial artist? You should understand how different we are now, right?" Desmond clasped his hands behind his back haughtily and snorted.

Although he was drained, he still needed to put on a front.
