An Understated Dominance, Dustin Rhys story. Chapters 1301 and beyond - JUNLEE (aka Jungal2000) English interpretation

Translated by Jungal2000

This is my take on an ongoing Chinese novel by an unknown author. I've never been much of a reader when it comes to lengthy novels, but as soon as I delved into this tale, I was hooked like a fanatic. And I can't seem to stop. Unfortunately, the English version I was following only released three chapters a day, and my appetite for the story was insatiable. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and started translating the Chinese text myself. Along the way, I've tried to inject some context into it because Google's translation tends to be too literal.

I've used different names for characters in my translations since they're a result of my own artistic interpretation. I began my translations from Chapter 967, which was posted in a different discussion thread. My aim is to tackle at least 100 chapters a week. However, as much as I love translating and reading this novel, I make sure to reserve my weekends for my family and friends – they're the ones who matter most to me.

The reason for this new thread is that during my two days off, some talented translators have continued where I left off. Their work is already shared and posted in my previous thread. This is fantastic news for readers looking for weekend reads. To avoid any confusion, I decided to create a new thread where I can upload and continue my translations. I'm doing all of this out of love for the story and the enjoyment I get from the process; it makes me feel like I'm a part of the narrative.

For those who are new to this, the best translations are provided by Muhindi Wa Kuchoma, and they are the work of the legendary translator Marina Vitori.


This is the tale of a prince, a legendary Kirin known as Logan Rhys. His life underwent a dramatic change a decade ago when his mother met a mysterious and untimely demise. Fueled by a relentless pursuit of truth, justice, and vengeance, he abandoned his royal palace and adopted the guise of a commoner, going by the name Dustin Rhys. The once-arrogant young prince transformed into a timid and soft-spoken individual, making him an easy target for bullies.

During these ten years, Logan secretly honed his skills and strength, undergoing a profound transformation. However, a recent divorce from his wife, Dahlia Nicholson, after three years of marriage, coupled with a series of life-altering events, pushed him back into action. Slowly but surely, he began to shed his timid persona, reemerging as the formidable figure he once was.

Join us as we follow the journey of Dustin, or Logan, as he strives to surpass, outmaneuver, and overpower entire armies and kingdoms, all through his own determination and bare hands.

 

[THEZ]

Every sect here will fight each other to claim Dustin as their member. Even though Dustin always said he wanted to be free every time he was offered to join a certain sect.
Your debate is really useless and contrary to reality, my friend..

 

[Lu Dustin]

i like to see dustin and natasha get married since their feeling towards each other is so strong (they both shared life and death situation before)...not that i dont like gabrielle but let them become partners in 'Job' only which is to save dragonmarsh from foreign enemy and domestic...and for dahlia i wish she dont remember anything about dustin anymore and marry another man instead

It’s okay, let him marry both. Gabrielle has sacrificed her 10 yrs of life in saving Dustin, remember ? Till now Gabrielle hasn’t shown any form of feeling towards Dustin but if they develop feeling …A Chinese emperor can indulge in Polygyny anyways !

 

[Alonzo03]

You guys shouldn't pester Junlee (aka 'Jungal2000') for daily update. Without your reminders he will surely ensure you guys are entertained. If there is an update he will share it with us as soon as possible. And when there is no update he always announced it. And even when there might be an update but he hasn't shared it, then he is busy. He has a home economy to manage.

yeah gabrielle sacrificed 10 years of her life for dustin but natasha will surely die after the poison transfer and wrote that touching note too that makes dustin cry...for me natasha deserved better...cheers

 

[Ruthless]

I still support Natasha, regardless of the circumstances. She loved Dustin without knowing his true identity, so whether he’s a king or not, the love is genuine. Gabrielle is a good match for Logan, as he is connected to the royal family of West Lucozia. It’s all about Dustin Natasha, and Logan Gabrielle.

percent agreed.

 

[Ruthless]

This tourney took so long to finish that we readers had forgot so many things the writer had left unfinished. I highly doubt if the writer is willing to turn back to Natasha and their family’s map to their endless treasure.

I think the story is going to be e mess and it might not even end. Usually a chinese stories like this have around 7k to 10k chapters. We’re on the road to 3k. So let’s take a deep breath and give it a moment to sink in. In the far future ahead our legacy to finish this novel just might be completed by our grandchildren…. If we consider 2 chapter per day and not a single day missed

Sorry for the long post. Felt like writing something so wrote it. XD

Love you all

To feel like writing something that's fine you know

Don't go feel like fucking something and you fuck someone grandmother. You are not King of Dragonmarsh

He once mentioned he fucked a fossil, who does that? he has been in jail before, who knows what he fucked there? A mate, warden, nurse....he is our king

CHAPTER 2700: "THE RELUCTANT GUARDIAN OF THE DRAGON VEIN"

"Me?"

Hearing this, Dustin froze for a moment before waving his hands frantically. "Elder Heavenly Master, you must be joking! How could I have the ability to guard the Dragon Vein? You’d better pick someone else!"

This wasn’t just any hot potato—it was a molten boulder. Guarding the Dragon Vein wasn’t like keeping an eye on a backyard. A single slip-up wouldn’t just harm him but could affect all of Dragon Tiger Mountain and even the entirety of the Dragonmarsh.

The pressure was unimaginable, and he didn’t have the shoulders to carry it.

"Don’t be in such a hurry to refuse."

Phantom chuckled, his expression calm. "Guarding the Dragon Vein comes with many benefits. First, the Dragon Vein has a spirit. If you can connect with it, your cultivation will soar by leaps and bounds. Your lifespan will also extend significantly. With the fortune of the Dragon Vein protecting you, you’ll be invincible—no one in the world will stand a chance against you."

He wasn’t exaggerating. If someone earned the Dragon Vein's recognition and became its guardian, they could channel its energy, achieving harmony between heaven and earth.

In simple terms: the realm of immortals that ordinary people dreamed of.

A year ago, had Spike Lourd fought Bladeheart near the Serpentsteel Royal Guardians, the outcome of their life-or-death battle might have been entirely different.

"Elder Heavenly Master, to be honest," Dustin said with a wry smile, "I’m just not cut out for this. I prefer a carefree life and really can’t shoulder such a heavy responsibility. As for skyrocketing cultivation or a longer life, I don’t have much interest in that either."

The stronger the power, the greater the responsibility.

He cherished his freedom, unburdened and untethered. Agreeing to guard the Dragon Vein would be like building himself a cage, no matter how gilded.

He simply wasn’t enlightened enough for that kind of sacrifice.

"It’s fine. If you truly don’t wish to, I won’t force you. But if you ever change your mind, you’re welcome to come find me." Phantom maintained his gentle smile.

This competition might have been designed to select a guardian for the Dragon Vein, but such a role depended largely on individual willingness.

If Dustin wasn’t willing, Phantom wouldn’t pressure him.

Some things relied on fate. When the time was right, everything would naturally fall into place.

"Thank you, Elder Heavenly Master, for your understanding."

Dustin let out a quiet sigh of relief.

He had genuinely been worried that rejecting the offer might anger the Elder Heavenly Master, who would then snatch back the precious orb filled with Dragon's Energy Spirals.

But clearly, someone like Phantom, transcending worldly attachments, wouldn’t stoop to coercion or underhanded tactics.

That would be beneath him.

"Kid, if you’re not busy, stay here tonight. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be heading off."

After a bit more casual conversation, Phantom stood up and left, leaving Dustin alone in his thoughts.







CHAPTER 2701: THE WEIGHT OF A LEGEND

“Farewell to the Elder Heavenly Master!”

Dustin cupped his hands respectfully, bowing as the figure departed.

Only after the Elder Heavenly Master disappeared into the distance did he exhale deeply, finally letting go of the tension that had gripped him.

Though Phantom had shown no airs of superiority, emitted no oppressive aura, and carried himself with remarkable warmth, there was something inexplicably heavy about being in his presence. Sitting next to him felt like standing on the edge of a cliff—every breath measured, every movement deliberate.

As expected, the world’s sole living "Earthly Immortal" was far from ordinary.

Once the Dragon's Energy Spirals was safely stowed away, Dustin bid his own farewell. He had already warned Dragon Tiger Mountain of potential schemes by the Pantheon. With that warning, the sect should be sufficiently prepared for any underhanded plots.

Still, to ensure there were no loose ends, he planned to seek out Fatin and probe further. Who knew what other tricks the Pantheon might have up their sleeve?

When Dustin finally returned to the inn, he was greeted by a lively, celebratory scene. Gabrielle had been waiting for him and had gone all out, arranging an extravagant feast with a familiar group of faces gathered at the table.

There were the Moore sisters, Lara and Liana, the Morris sisters, Emerald and Ruby, as well as Kieran and Ulysses, among others.

Although they hailed from different sects, their purpose today was singular—to celebrate Dustin's victory.

“Brother Dustin, congratulations! What a spectacular achievement!” Kieran was the first to raise his hands in a respectful salute, his grin wide.

“Senior Brother Dustin, your performance today was nothing short of astounding. Truly admirable!” Emerald’s face shone with genuine admiration.

“Dustin, I never imagined you were this incredible. From now on, your name will echo throughout the martial world!” Ruby chimed in with a teasing smile.

“Of course! Brother Dustin is now the undisputed number one on the Whiz List, having even defeated Billy! Tell me, who could possibly match him?” Ulysses added, his flattery as smooth as silk.

“Ah, you flatter me,” Dustin said with a humble smile, cupping his hands in return to acknowledge each one. “Come, everyone, have a seat! Tonight, it’s on me—eat and drink to your heart’s content!”

As everyone settled down, the atmosphere grew even livelier.

“Senior Brother Dustin, now that you’re the martial tournament champion and an honorary guest of the World Society, I hope you’ll look out for us in the future,” Lara said with a dazzling smile.

Her radiant beauty, combined with a natural charm that could rival spring blossoms, carried a magnetic allure.

“Dustin, are you accepting disciples? I’d like to be your student!” Liana wasted no time cutting to the chase, boldly leveraging the opportunity to forge a closer connection.

The Moore sisters had already consulted with their father, Darkbane, and learned the truth about Dustin's identity.

Their father’s instructions were clear: do whatever it takes to win him over—even if it meant offering themselves in marriage.

After all, a young man like Dustin, blessed with striking looks, unmatched cultivation, and infinite potential, was a dream partner. Now it was up to the two sisters to see if they could successfully tie Dustin to the great ship that was the World Society.

The festive air was infectious, but beneath the surface, Dustin couldn’t help but sense the weight of expectations. As to whether he’d accept their advances or chart his own path, that was a question only time would answer.

 

[Alonzo03]

I assume they now know he is Logan but the author didn't clearly so . I remember each and every one of them admire the Logan they haven't especially Liana not knowing he has been with them all the while

 

[Alonzo03]

Lol, sleeping with Dustin is a future impossible tense. When there is Natasha and Gabrielle. Darkbane gonna have an unfulfilled dream

 

[apoca]

i get the feeling the story is about to rush to an unsatisfying ending where the author just ticks off plot points and goes they lived happily ever after

 

[GodofWar]

i get the feeling the story is about to rush to an unsatisfying ending where the author just ticks off plot points and goes they lived happily ever after

Just like what happened with Levi Garrison as the god of war

 

[King of Dragonmarsh]

Lol, sleeping with Dustin is a future impossible tense. When there is Natasha and Gabrielle. Darkbane gonna have an unfulfilled dream

Thank you Alonzo03, I learnt something new today.. I know few variants of future tense but my English teacher in school never taught me of future impossible tense. Honestly I never like the future tense subject and I never really grasped on how to use them properly.. now that we have a new future tense, and with Dustin as the learning example on sex related matter, I seem to understand it immediately

Why do I feel like last para is added by Junlee (aka 'Jungal2000')

 

[King of Dragonmarsh]

To feel like writing something that's fine you know

Don't go feel like fucking something and you fuck someone grandmother. You are not King of Dragonmarsh

He once mentioned he fucked a fossil, who does that? he has been in jail before, who knows what he fucked there? A mate, warden, nurse....he is our king

No, I've never been to jail, but dinosaur years back I did appear in what we would say a court in my university for a case of groping in the university cafeteria.. I was reprimanded but not fined or jailed.. months later I had consensual sex with the accuser

..damn, writing this down makes the memory so fresh. This happened years ago, before some of our members in here were even born

 

[apoca]

Why do I feel like last para is added by Junlee (aka 'Jungal2000')

yup

 

[apoca]

Just like what happened with Levi Garrison as the god of war

wait does that have a bad ending, i just started it, i wont read if its dissapointing

 

[Kirin Blood]

I assume they now know he is Logan but the author didn't clearly so . I remember each and every one of them admire the Logan they haven't especially Liana not knowing he has been with them all the while

None of them knows of his real identity as Logan but they know of his identity as bladeheart disciple only Evelyn is aware of his Kirin identity.

 

[Kirin Blood]

yup

Seems we all having the same itch

I don't know why I feel Spencer might be a loose end and could be a back stabber, I might be wrong. Looks like Gabrielle is in deep love with Dustin and he fails to identify it. Need to see how Gabrielle will react to the Dustin win

 

[THEZ]

After this, Abigail will definitely come and join them all for drinks..

Thankyou very much IGGDM Junlee

 

[Alonzo03]

None of them knows of his real identity as Logan but they know of his identity as bladeheart disciple only Evelyn is aware of his Kirin identity.

Oh yeah, this makes sense I forgot about the bladeheart identity . If darkbane knew it was Logan it's more like inviting the Tiger to a wolf den. And Ten of darkbane wouldn't dare to make the prince of west lucozia his disciple.

 

[Alonzo03]

wait does that have a bad ending, i just started it, i wont read if its dissapointing

No it doesn't have a bad ending infact I cried at the ending there were lot of emotions. The ending a bit rushed some battles were not well detailed. But it was a happy ending for Levi. Overall it felt like it shouldn't end yet there should be more missions.

 

[Gily]

No, I've never been to jail, but dinosaur years back I did appear in what we would say a court in my university for a case of groping in the university cafeteria.. I was reprimanded but not fined or jailed.. months later I had consensual sex with the accuser

..damn, writing this down makes the memory so fresh. This happened years ago, before some of our members in here were even born

Haha like you could survive in Jail. Haha that was literally, that you have lived the fantansies, sometime wearing jail clothing and having orgy on a bathroom with cute lads, i mean ladies haha

 

[lawline]

If this Dustin was from the sex sect ohhhh,
I hope he would be having more than a thousand descendants, and a million wives and the title is a legend to look at in the sect

 

[GodofWar]

wait does that have a bad ending, i just started it, i wont read if its dissapointing

It is just the writer all of a sudden seems want to end the story so for me there was no justice on how the last villain was defeated

 

[Bladeheart Ronin]

Every sect here will fight each other to claim Dustin as their member. Even though Dustin always said he wanted to be free every time he was offered to join a certain sect.
Your debate is really useless and contrary to reality, my friend..

He's a Ronin just like his master Bladeheart Ronin.

 

[GrandMasterEl]

Just like what happened with Levi Garrison as the god of war

Please no

"Thank you, Elder Heavenly Master, for your understanding."

Dustin let out a quiet sigh of relief.

He had genuinely been worried that rejecting the offer might anger the Elder Heavenly Master, who would then snatch back the precious orb filled with Dragon's Energy Spirals.

But clearly, someone like Phantom, transcending worldly attachments, wouldn’t stoop to coercion or underhanded tactics.

That would be beneath him.

"Kid, if you’re not busy, stay here tonight. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be heading off."

After a bit more casual conversation, Phantom stood up and left, leaving Dustin alone in his thoughts.







CHAPTER 2701: THE WEIGHT OF A LEGEND

“Farewell to the Elder Heavenly Master!”

Dustin cupped his hands respectfully, bowing as the figure departed.

Only after the Elder Heavenly Master disappeared into the distance did he exhale deeply, finally letting go of the tension that had gripped him.

Though Phantom had shown no airs of superiority, emitted no oppressive aura, and carried himself with remarkable warmth, there was something inexplicably heavy about being in his presence. Sitting next to him felt like standing on the edge of a cliff—every breath measured, every movement deliberate.

As expected, the world’s sole living "Earthly Immortal" was far from ordinary.

Once the Dragon's Energy Spirals was safely stowed away, Dustin bid his own farewell. He had already warned Dragon Tiger Mountain of potential schemes by the Pantheon. With that warning, the sect should be sufficiently prepared for any underhanded plots.

Still, to ensure there were no loose ends, he planned to seek out Fatin and probe further. Who knew what other tricks the Pantheon might have up their sleeve?

When Dustin finally returned to the inn, he was greeted by a lively, celebratory scene. Gabrielle had been waiting for him and had gone all out, arranging an extravagant feast with a familiar group of faces gathered at the table.

There were the Moore sisters, Lara and Liana, the Morris sisters, Emerald and Ruby, as well as Kieran and Ulysses, among others.

Although they hailed from different sects, their purpose today was singular—to celebrate Dustin's victory.

“Brother Dustin, congratulations! What a spectacular achievement!” Kieran was the first to raise his hands in a respectful salute, his grin wide.

“Senior Brother Dustin, your performance today was nothing short of astounding. Truly admirable!” Emerald’s face shone with genuine admiration.

“Dustin, I never imagined you were this incredible. From now on, your name will echo throughout the martial world!” Ruby chimed in with a teasing smile.

“Of course! Brother Dustin is now the undisputed number one on the Whiz List, having even defeated Billy! Tell me, who could possibly match him?” Ulysses added, his flattery as smooth as silk.

“Ah, you flatter me,” Dustin said with a humble smile, cupping his hands in return to acknowledge each one. “Come, everyone, have a seat! Tonight, it’s on me—eat and drink to your heart’s content!”

As everyone settled down, the atmosphere grew even livelier.

“Senior Brother Dustin, now that you’re the martial tournament champion and an honorary guest of the World Society, I hope you’ll look out for us in the future,” Lara said with a dazzling smile.

Her radiant beauty, combined with a natural charm that could rival spring blossoms, carried a magnetic allure.

“Dustin, are you accepting disciples? I’d like to be your student!” Liana wasted no time cutting to the chase, boldly leveraging the opportunity to forge a closer connection.

The Moore sisters had already consulted with their father, Darkbane, and learned the truth about Dustin's identity.

Their father’s instructions were clear: do whatever it takes to win him over—even if it meant offering themselves in marriage.

After all, a young man like Dustin, blessed with striking looks, unmatched cultivation, and infinite potential, was a dream partner. Now it was up to the two sisters to see if they could successfully tie Dustin to the great ship that was the World Society.

The festive air was infectious, but beneath the surface, Dustin couldn’t help but sense the weight of expectations. As to whether he’d accept their advances or chart his own path, that was a question only time would answer.

I wonder where Gabriella have kept those sex sect girls that offer to train and help Dustin in future I miss those sexy homeless ladies
