Is This the Tank Jingwu Gave Up?

A flicker of confusion crossed Wu Guangzong's eyes. He had never expected a level 7 Elite Tier rookie tank fresh out of university to withstand the ultimate move he had unleashed with all his strength—and even make him come off worse!

In other words, it reduced those effects by two-thirds!

Against opponents of the same level, Han Xu was as hard to budge as a mountain. Even against a Hero
