Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns

Chapter 65: You Lost

There was a formless ripple with each step that Jacob took. With each step, he rose into the air

effortlessly. His clothes fluttered even though the air was still. All of the Shaw family disciples and Tom

stared with their eyes wide open.

They all looked in disbelief and dared not believe their eyes. What did they just witness? He could

actually … actually walk on air and in such a relaxed and effortless manner! How could that be? At this

point, the Shaw family and disciples did not look at Jacob with the same disdain and disrespect as

before. Instead, they were shocked and impressed!

Tom’s Sliding Steps broadened their views and they were already dumbfounded and in awe. But now

Jacob was walking on air with ease. Additionally, Jacob was the same age as many of the disciples

which excited them even more. ‘How nice if only I could be as skilled as him. It was so impressive!’

Suddenly, the spectators remarked in awe, admiration, and respect for Jacob.

As for Tom, he became terrified. He had trained for decades and could only do the Sliding Steps which

was nothing compared to what Jacob just did. It was exactly with his thorough understanding of the

Sliding Steps over the decades that Tom could appreciate how incredible what Jacob did and with such

ease.

How could Tom not be terrified?

His disdain for Jacob immediately disappeared without a trace. It looked like the man in black who Tom

kept worrying about who had addressed Jacob as ‘Master’ not because of his status but was really his

martial arts capabilities!

Very quickly, Jacob walked above the fighting stage and then gently drifted down.

He stood in front of Tom and then signaled to begin.

“Please.” Jacob’s lips barely moved and just said a word.

Tom no longer looked down on Jacob and said, “Please.”

After saying, Tom did not behave like an elder anymore and went into deadliest ‘Storm-like Attack from

All Sides’ fighting stance of the Shaws’ Boxing. Tom didn’t dare to make a mistake and wanted to use

the most powerful technique to quickly end this challenge.

As soon as the disciples saw this stance, all of them took a deep breath.

“This, this is the Storm-like Attack from All Sides, the deadliest and most complete attack! The longer

he built up the energy, the stronger the attack!”

“I didn’t expect Fourth uncle to master it already.”

“Although Jacob’s ability to walk on air was incredible, I feel that it’s just a skill that he mastered which

was more impressive than the Sliding Steps. But when the physical skills were being compared, he

definitely cannot match up to fourth uncle.”

“Yeah, how old is Jacob? He is about the same age as us. No matter how strong he was, how could he

be compared to someone who had been practicing martial arts for over four decades? Furthermore, he

will now have to take on the deadliest technique of the Shaw family.”

Although Jacob’s walking on air had shocked the Shaw family disciples, it was obvious that they still

thought that Jacob had no chance of winning.

Jacob saw that Tom was waving his hands around and an invisible aura started to take form within his

hands. Tom’s entire body also radiated a layer of aura for protection.

Jacob looked at this display with interest. Was this indicative of the martial arts on earth? It looked like

these centuries old families and the roaming fighters were very different. Jacob didn’t interrupt Tom’s

actions. He wanted to experience the deadliest Storm-like Attack from All Sides technique of the

centuries-old Shaw family’s boxing technique.

The Shaw disciples shook their heads when they saw Jacob standing in place as he observed Tom’s

actions. Even if Jacob hadn’t seen the Shaws’ Boxing, how could he as a fighter stand still without any

preparation? If Jacob hadn’t shown his capabilities just now, they would really think that Jacob was just

a fool who came to provoke the Shaw family.

Tom saw that Jacob had not reacted and was just staring at him. He couldn’t help it and yelled, “To

think that you don’t even know what’s coming for you. Fine, then I’ll let you witness what are the

Shaws’ Boxing and what ‘Storm-like Attack from All Sides’ is!”

Centuries ago, it was the Virtuoso of the Shaw family who used this technique to eliminate all their

enemies in the North and South Riverside Provinces and established the Shaw family’s position for

hundreds of years.

The Storm-like Attack from All Sides, as its name implies, was an attack like a raging storm from all

sides. When mastered fully, it can truly be unleashed in a manner that the opponent had no means of

countering.

And this did not depend on the skills of the arms but it also depended on the skills of the legs.

Otherwise, it was impossible to achieve the motion of the hands and body moving like lightning with

continual attacks in all directions.

The Shaw disciples had to master the Sliding Steps and also train vigorously their arms in order to

finally learn the deadliest fighting skill of the Shaw family. The Sliding Steps was not only to enable a

fighter to jump into the air and slide forward. The most critical purpose was for the person to be able to

channel his internal energy into the legs. If the fighter could control himself and slide in the air, then he Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

would be far deadlier on the ground.

Tom finally charged up his aura and unleashed himself like a lightning. It looked like he had prepared

for ages but it actually took a matter of seconds.

“Storm-like Attack from All Sides!” Tom declared as he unleashed himself.

He covered several meters in the blink of an eye and appeared next to Jacob. Next, his hands moved

like lightning and struck relentlessly. The fists were wrapped with the aura and whooshed in the air like

the movies.

The first strike of Storm-like Attack from All Sides was launched. Jacob, I’d like to see if you can survive

the first round of the Storm-like Attack from All Sides! But as his fists started flying, Tom felt that

something was not right. Jacob was clearly in front of him but how was it that it seemed that he wasn’t

there anymore.

What happened? Immediately, there was a doubt in Tom’s mind. Then he realized what just happened.

Afterimage!

Although his fists fell on Jacob, it was striking into thin air. As the aura of his fists landed onto Jacob,

the image in front of him disappeared into thin air.

Immediately, Tom felt a deadly danger. Tom shifted his leg and wanted to get out of his position.

“You just unleashed your Storm-like Attack from All Sides, then it’s now your turn to take my blow!”

Tom heard from the side and reacted but before he could move an inch, he felt a hand tapping gently

on his back. It penetrated his protective aura and then contacted his back.

Immediately, Tom flew outwards. Tom immediately used all of his energy to stabilize himself and did not

fall out of the stage. But even so, in one strike of the palm, he was totally defeated.

He was defeated in just one stroke. His protective aura had dissipated. Storm-like Attack from All Sides

had been unleashed. His internal energy was in a mess. Tom looked pale and he could taste blood in

his mouth which emerged from the corner of his mouth.

Tom looked terrified at Jacob who was still standing in place. How… how could that be? He was a

master of martial arts and just a step from being a Virtuoso-to-be. He was also the most promising

among the Shaw family to be able to become a Virtuoso-to-be.

And now, he was defeated with one stroke by a young man! Tom was in total disbelief. But the reality

was right in front of him and he could not ignore the facts.

“Thank you, Mr. Reyes for your mercy!” Tom stood up and respectfully grasped his fists. Tom had

changed the way he addressed Jacob!

Jacob’s strike with that palm was able to shatter his heart had Jacob not controlled his strength. When

Tom thought of this, his forehead broke out in cold sweat. This was the first time he was so close to

death.

Jacob nodded, lowered his hands, and said calmly, “You lost!”

“Yes, I lost!” Tom said and was disappointed with himself.

“But will you still agree to the terms?” Jacob asked. This was what he was most concerned with.
