Tolver gaped at Jacob in shock, incredulity etched across his features. He had believed it would be child's play to deal with someone like Jacob, especially since he was at the Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm. Unexpectedly, he was sent stumbling back by a single strike from Jacob.
At that moment, his shock was overshadowed by shame. A crowd had witnessed him, an elder of Solarcloud Sect, being repelled by an obscure junior. This was a blatant humiliation for the Solarcloud Sect.
The expression of the old woman beside him shifted as well. She shot daggers at Jacob and snarled, "How dare you conceal your capabilities and play us for fools, kid!" She was convinced that Jacob's cultivation level was far beyond what he displayed, believing he must have hidden his true strength. Otherwise, he could never have sent Tolver staggering back with a single blow.
