An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1176
At those words, some martial artists looked at Toddy with disdain. They were stunned at the audacity of
this newcomer. He claimed to be better than the young grandmaster. The young grandmaster had
defeated Augustus and was now challenging Ronald.
Even the most talented leaders of the major guilds would not have the audacity to be so arrogant. They
were baffled as to how a nobody like Toddy could muster the courage to boast in such a manner.
“Toddy! Choose your words carefully!” Lyn frowned. She whispered, “The young grandmaster is a
once-in-a-century prodigy. He’s in a league of his own, far above the rest of us. How can we even
begin to compare?”
Without a pause, she added, “He became a grandmaster in his twenties. Meanwhile, we haven’t even
reached the divine level. The difference between us is immeasurable. Even if we practice endlessly, we

“Hey, Lyn, you are making someone else look good while making yourself look bad. You should know
that one day, I, Toddy Yarnes, will reach the rank of grandmaster. Until then, that young grandmaster
and I are on the same level,” Toddy declared confidently.
“You’re right! With Toddy’s dedication and hard work, he would soon become a grandmaster,” the
Moonlight Reverence disciples chimed in.
“You’re young and ignorant. And yet, you dare to talk about becoming a grandmaster as a lowly martial
artist. I really don’t understand where you get your confidence from,” Cornelius suddenly interrupted.
He had trained for decades but was still halfway to becoming a grandmaster. He had never managed to
free himself from his limitations.
It puzzled him that someone with no talent and strength spoke as if it were as easy as ABC to reach
the level of a grandmaster.
Cornelius smirked when he heard that Toddy even dared to compare himself to Dustin. That was the
height of arrogance and ignorance.
“Hmph! What the hell do you know? You’re just an old man with bad eyesight. How could you possibly
know my strength?” Toddy retorted arrogantly.
He continued, “I don’t want to brag. Give me three to five years, and I will undoubtedly reach the level
of a grandmaster!”
“Three to five years?” Cornelius sneered. He added, “Even if you gave yourself thirty or fifty years, it
would still be an impossible feat. You might as well give up on that dream!”
“Hey, old fool! How dare you underestimate me. How about sparring with me?” Toddy glared at
Cornelius as if he wanted a fight.
“Toddy, please stop!” Lyn frowned. “It’s not my fault. That old man is provoking me on purpose.” Toddy
shrugged.

humble?” Lyn advised.
“I can’t help it. I have extraordinary talent and strength. Even if I wanted to be humble, I couldn’t.”
Toddy shook his head. “Oh? That’s quite impressive. If so, I’d like to learn from you. Who might you
be?”
At that moment, a clear female voice suddenly sounded. Everyone turned and saw a group of young
men and women dressed impeccably. They gave off an imposing air.
The group was led by a woman in a red dress and white hat. She was armed with a long sword, and
her piercing eyes scrutinized the surroundings.
She strode through the crowd, and everyone dispersed instinctively. It was as if they could feel an
invisible pressure emanating from her.
“Who are you?” Toddy looked at the woman. After removing her hat, the woman in red cautiously
approached him. She said coldly, “Josie Yale, Boulderthorn’s Frostlanders’ chief.”
