Facing Jacob

Yes, and Bobby neither retreated nor gave way. Instead, he faced off against Jacob. This sight shocked many other students gathered there. When did Bobby gain this much confidence? Did he get his orange belt? Tom and company thought as they finally realized Bobby's change. Even Jessica, who's standing next to Parker, was stunned. "Hmm, just a useless piece of trash using outside help to break through. These people are especially vulnerable," Peter said disdainfully. "Maybe," Jessica answered.

Bobby, you were stronger than I imagined. No wonder you could beat on my brother," Jacob praised Bobby as he stopped two steps away from him. "Stop praising me. You're here to take revenge for your brother, I presume," Bobby faintly smiled. "Yes," Jacob swiftly continued, "although my brother is a useless piece of trash, he is still my brother." Tom's face turned ugly as Jacob spoke; his brother of his had not given him enough respect to face one. Jacob continued, "You are younger than I and have just been given your orange belt, so I won't bully you. If you can stand out my first ten moves, I will let you off the hook." Bobby was a bit surprised by how Jacob acted. Tom's brother was not as arrogant as he had imagined. The two faced off on a piece of spare land on the martial arts field.

Jacob's aura suddenly became cold, and his forelimbs started to bend like a poisonous snake. "Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake," some of the students knew the origin of the school. As Jacob's opponent, Bobby felt a strange chill. While both brothers had learned Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake, Jacob had mastered more of it than Tom. "Second Change of the Poisonous Snake," Jacob struck like a snake towards Bobby's head. Bobby only felt a swift burst of air coming towards his head. The opponent's speed and power were doubled that of Tom. It was good that his left eye could still see the arc of Jacob's attack, so he put up a fist, a block. Bobby threw off Jacob with his punch, but he felt that the opponent's body was like butter. Jacob twisted on the ground and then used explosive speed and power to charge back towards Bobby. "No wonder he is ranked in the top five here," Bobby thought to himself as he saw Jacob attack once more. Bobby had a solemn look on his face as he faced off against Jacob.

In this small amount of time, he had almost lost many times. Bobby was very calm. Once he used his left eye, his reaction speed and vision increased dramatically, so it would not be any challenge for him. Of course, without using his left eye, Bobby's reaction speed had already surpassed other students of the same rank. At the beginning, Bobby was under great pressure. However, as the fight continued, he honed his experience in battle prowess. In this fight against Jacob, the two shadows fought together on the field. The two of them both used close battle skills, and the speed they fought at was extremely fast. "Bobby's strength is stronger than I imagined. It has already been five moves," a few of the other students felt that this was unbelievable. "He has improved insanely fast," Jessica watched the two of them go at it in awe. Not far away, Tom kept wiping the sweat off his forehead.

He thought that with his brother's strength, he would only need two or three moves to take Bobby down. But he had unexpectedly improved so much, and soon it was the sixth move. "Grip Attack of the Poisonous Snake," Jacob's movements became like the sea. They churned, jumped, and wrapped around Bobby. As the fourth change began, Jacob's damage increased dramatically. Bobby felt the pressure increase and remembered that Tom had only learned the first three forms of the Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake. Jacob, however, had learned the first seven changes. Every successive change was harder to learn, but the damage would likewise increase dramatically. Bobby felt as if his opponent had no bones and that he was getting closer and closer to finishing them off. Bobby, on instinct, used the Lightly Floating Fairy to pull away from Jacob. Close combat was the forte of the Thirteen Changes of a Poisonous Snake, and even Angry Dragon Fist was difficult to use against it.

Ten, Bobby, in terms of speed, was absolutely faster than Jacob. But the eighth move, the ninth move, the tenth move, the two shadows split apart as the students who were watching held their breath. "You have won," Jacob looked deeply at Bobby and said, seeming helpless. He then turned around and left, leaving a crowd of shocked students behind. "Thank you for going easy," Bobby said as he smiled faintly. He did not use all of his strength in this fight, especially his left eye. He also did not use Lightly Floating Fairy or the Parallel Air Technique to their highest potential.

He had two reasons for this. First, he wanted to see how strong he was without the use of his left eye. Second, he wanted to leave some hidden cards for the family sparring contest. The result was very obvious. When he restrained himself from using these things, he was on par with Jacob. Obviously, Bobby could not confirm if Jacob had left some hidden moves either. The two of them had only exchanged ten blows. "When did he get so strong?" A few of those who were familiar with Bobby now stared at him with their eyes open. Tom was even more exaggerated. He opened his mouth like a wooden chicken.

"Big brother, if you cannot beat him in ten moves, you can still beat him up for me," Tom said as he caught up to Jacob. "You'd better give up. Even if there are no restrictions, I cannot beat him. The speed is too fast for me," Jacob said as he shook his head. Tom knew that his brother did not lie. It wasn't his attitude. "He won," Jessica's body turned rigid, and she gave a complicated look at the boy not far away. To her, Bobby now seemed especially handsome, taller than ever before. At this point, "this kid actually has a few tricks," Peter said, looking on coldly. "But he only fought against Jacob for ten moves. While Jacob has already lost to me long ago," he added. Jessica let out a breath as she heard Peter's words. She did not understand why she was so afraid of Bobby becoming strong. The stronger he became, the more conflicted she felt.

After the sparring match, the field resumed to its original state. This was because it was nearing noon, and the powerful martial artist that had been invited would be giving his lecture. "Soon Master Jackie is here," someone from the crowd shouted as there was a sudden surge of excitement all around. Bobby followed everyone's gazes and saw a tall, muscular man slowly walk into the martial arts field. He secretly opened his left eye and saw that there was a faint yellow glow emitting from his blood. His inner strength was pushed every time he let out a breath, creating an invisible but formidable pressure. "What did powerful people have? A different aura and creating invisible pressure," Bobby now understood a bit by looking at Master Jackie. Every step Master Jackie took and every glance he made created pressure. The aura belonged to only the strongest martial artists, so strongly one of the students said as the entire crowd had expressions of fear, just like Bobby. Everyone's eyes were on him because they wanted to be a great martial artist like him. However, Bobby's goal was not limited to this. His goal was Martial Master, those that had the seventh rank or higher, and even the rumored Holy Martial Arts Master. "Today I'm going to talk about how the skills for students of the third rank or lower should be used. I will also be talking about my experience of inner strength," Master Jackie's voice was deep but not loud, but even those that were a few hundred meters away could hear him clearly. After hearing experiences of inner strength, Peter, Sarah, and Bobby all felt their eyes brighten.
