Silence descended over the arena as they all stopped to look at John. He was a Late Meridian Forging cultivator, yet he had just easily defeated an Early Heaven Tribulation cultivator. They had never seen such a thing before, and didn't know if trickery was at hand to make such a thing possible.
However, when they thought back to how he had effortlessly blocked a full powered attack from that youths great hammer, they couldn't help but shiver at the thought of them blocking the attack in such a way. If they had attempted to do such a thing, their arms would have most likely shattered, despite being in a higher realm.
Alderen opened his eyes as he gazed at John for a moment, looking at him in a new light. After a short while, he closed his eyes once again, resuming his calm meditation.
