A collective gasp caught in everyone’s throats. The notion of a First Level Tribulator cultivator standing motionless while being assaulted by a Fifth Level Tribulator cultivator was beyond their imagination.
It resembled an adult striking an immobile child, a scenario too unsettling to fathom. Proclus’ palm hit Jared’s chest, and the tremendous force caused his figure to sway. He retreated several steps. Indeed, Proclus was formidable as a Fifth Level Tribulator cultivator.
Jared sensed the turbulence of his internal energy. A surge of blood reached his throat, but he staunchly suppressed it. At that instant, Jared developed a fresh appreciation for the resilience of his physical form.
When Jared understood that using his Golem Body would neutralize Proclus attack, a confident smile graced his features. He gave a polite bow.
Everyone stared blankly at Jared, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Even Proclus found himself gazing at Jared incredulously. It was unfathomable to him that Jared, a First Level Tribulator cultivator, could endure his strike. Jared had merely taken a few steps back, seemingly unscathed.
“Mr. Chance, you’re amazing!” Dalton and Rosetta couldn’t help but express their excitement upon seeing that Jared was unharmed.
Proclus’ expression transformed from shock to shame. As an elder of Creston Sect, a Fifth Level Tribulator cultivator, he couldn’t even defeat a First Level Tribulator cultivator in front of everyone. It was too embarrassing.
“Mr. Lunawick, you’re too merciful. If you had used your full strength, this young man would undoubtedly be dead. I can see you haven’t even exerted half of your power.”
Dimas quickly came to Proclus’ defense using his usual excuse. However, Proclus shook his head and admitted, “While I didn’t use my full strength, I utilized more than eighty percent of my power. This fellow’s physical body is indeed formidable.”
Proclus didn’t follow Dimas’ example of lying but chose to be straightforward. In terms of integrity, Proclus was far superior to Dimas.
