Fist Against Fist Battle

Gu Ding was quickly teleported to the arena. His opponent was already standing on the stage, a tall, thin man whose ID was "Ge Gao Bu Shi Wo De Cuo".

"A kid ranked over 80,000, why am I the one assigned to snipe him?" Ge Gao couldn't quite figure it out, but he had sniped newcomers once or twice before. Usually, it was because the newcomer had too many consecutive wins and accumulated too many points at once. So, seeing that Gu Ding only had ten consecutive wins, he was a little curious if Gu Ding had offended someone high up in the Arena.

Players ranked within the top 10,000 in the Beginner Arena were basically Third-Order Gene Bodies. Not only had they awakened abilities, but many of their abilities had also undergone a second enhancement, and some had even awakened two abilities.

Ge Gao's ability was called "Iron Block". This ability wasn't particularly special; when activated, his body's defense could increase several times, making his muscles as hard as iron blocks. He was ranked around 10,000, and he didn't actually lose many times, but he had quite a few draws. Most draws were because others couldn't break his defense, and he couldn't defeat his opponents either.

After activating "Iron Block", Ge Gao's defense could rival a Fourth Order Gene Body. This meant that in the Beginner Arena, where the comprehensive cell index was limited to 100 points, his defense was comparable to someone with a comprehensive cell index of nearly 300 points. In this situation, there were indeed not many people who could break his defense.

"This guy's defense is very strong. He has a special ability called Iron Block. Once activated, his body can become as hard as an iron block." Sea Emperor quickly checked his opponent's information. This opponent was very strong, forcing him to remind Gu Ding. Although it only took a few seconds, it was enough for him to read all the information about Ge Gao, including video data. "He has participated in over 5,000 battles, losing less than 200 and drawing over 1,000. His points aren't high because of too many draws."

"Strong defense?" Gu Ding grinned upon hearing this. "Just right for me to test my moves."

Gu Ding stepped out with Shadow Step, his figure flickering several times as he closed in on his opponent.

"So fast!" Ge Gao was startled by Gu Ding's movement technique. He immediately put away his idea of underestimating his opponent and activated his ability – Iron Block. "My ability can greatly counter close-combat experts of the same level. I don't believe a fifteen-year-old kid can break my defense."

At this moment, Gu Ding's Adamant Fist had already slammed onto his opponent's chest. The chest is one of the strongest defensive parts of the human body because it is surrounded by ribs. Gu Ding chose this point of attack mainly to test how strong the opponent's defense was.

With a "clang", like a giant hammer hitting a large bell, a metallic collision sound immediately rang out. Gu Ding only felt as if his fist had struck a hard iron block, not only indestructible but also sending back a counter-shock force.

He quickly retreated, his right hand, which had just thrown the punch, trembling slightly from the counter-shock.

"Give up the struggle, you can't break my defense," Ge Gao shouted at Gu Ding, but he was slightly shocked in his heart. He clearly felt the destructive power from Gu Ding's punch just now. Although it didn't break his defense, the position the opponent had just struck was his strongest defensive area, the chest. If he hadn't also increased his weight after activating the Iron Block ability, he would have probably been sent flying just now. Moreover, a dull sensation came from his chest, indicating that the opponent's attack was not completely ineffective. If it had hit a vital spot, he might have been injured.

Gu Ding remained silent. The opponent's strong defense indeed made things difficult for him. The test strike just now let him know that his attack would be difficult to break through the opponent's defense. And the opponent wouldn't just stand there and let him attack.

On the viewing platform, someone finally recognized Ge Gao.

"This guy, his defense seems really awesome. I've seen his matches before."

"I've seen him too. Once, he stood there and let his opponent attack for three hours without even moving his feet. In the end, the opponent had insufficient mental energy and could only surrender."

"Is this Hunter just a kid? He looks like he's not even an adult yet. How can the Arena bully people like this? Arranging an opponent ranked 10,000 for someone ranked over 80,000?" Some people who hadn't seen Gu Ding's previous matches started to feel indignant for Gu Ding.

"You haven't seen his previous matches. Don't look at how thin and small he is, he basically instantly killed his opponents in the previous battles," someone who had seen Gu Ding's previous matches explained from the side.

On the arena stage, Gu Ding moved again, fully activating the Adamant Fist of the third level of Limitless Body Technique. After a moment of thought, he decided to break through using his opponent. Since the attack power of his third level Limitless Body Technique was not enough to break the opponent's defense, he would try his best to break through to the fourth level. Although it was a bit difficult with a comprehensive cell index of 100 points, it was not completely impossible. This body should be able to handle short-term overloaded operation without much problem.

Seeing the opponent charging over with even fiercer momentum, Ge Gao didn't dare to let the opponent attack casually anymore, and he also met him head-on.

Fist against fist!

With a "clang", both of them retreated several steps.

Gu Ding exerted force with his legs and charged up again.

Ge Gao felt a bit bitter in his heart. His fighting technique could only be considered proficient. When encountering a true fighting master, he basically only had the option of taking a beating. Although the opponent was young, it seemed that his fighting skills were quite astonishing.

The subsequent situation was predictable. Gu Ding's various moves were constantly unleashed, basically suppressing Ge Gao. Ge Gao mostly used his arms to protect his vital parts, and the occasional attacks he launched were harmless to Gu Ding.

"This kid is so fierce?!" Someone on the viewing platform couldn't help but exclaim.

In the monitoring room, the short-haired woman from last time had dyed her hair red. A leather jacket was open, revealing a light black patterned bra underneath. She wore a black short leather skirt on her lower body, revealing her long legs, and still had black knee-high leather boots on her feet. She was holding a lollipop in her mouth, sitting on a swivel chair and watching the live broadcast of Gu Ding's battle.

"That tall, thin guy is going to lose," the short-haired woman quickly made her judgment. "Let's switch to someone ranked around 5,000, preferably someone with a special ability, like invisibility or something, to see how he handles it."

"Young Miss, if you want him to lose, it would be much simpler to put someone with a natural ability up there," the tall man in a black suit beside her suggested.

"Who said I wanted him to lose? I just want to see how far he can push this strange body technique, and maybe pick up a few moves along the way." The short-haired woman smiled smugly. "I used to secretly watch my dad practice the Limitless Body Technique. I feel like this kid's moves are very similar to my dad's, but there are also many differences. I suspect it might be another version of the Limitless Body Technique."

"Young Miss, the Limitless Body Technique cannot be practiced," the tall man frowned slightly.

"I'm just studying it, what are you so anxious about?" The short-haired woman pouted. "Don't forget I'm also an Interstellar Pirate. If I encounter the Federal Government's Hunters, I need to know a little bit of the Limitless Body Technique so I won't be easily killed."

"Young Miss, the Master used to be the captain of the Hunters. They are wary of the Master and won't lay a hand on you," the tall man advised.

"That's in the Long Teng Universe Country, and the Long Teng Universe Country is only a two-star Universe Country. Dad also said before that any member of the Hunters in a four-star Universe Country is no weaker than him, let alone a five-star Universe Country. One day I will leave Dad's protection. He can protect me for a while, but he can't protect me for a lifetime. So I want to carve out a bigger Heaven for myself. One day, I hope I can also protect Dad." The short-haired woman's words completely silenced the tall man.
