"How is that possible?"
Jiang Yaru could hardly believe her eyes. She was extremely confident in her own strength. Even against a true ninth-level Martial Apprentice Realm expert, she was sure she could put up a fight.
During the Top Sixteen matches, she had defeated her opponent in just a few moves. That was proof enough.
But when her strongest attack struck this man, he hadn't been hurt at all. He hadn't even taken a few steps back.
She had witnessed the power of this man's body-protection art on Beast Island. Back then, even the Leopard Gang leader Lin Bao's final attack before death hadn't been able to hurt him.
But until she experienced it herself, she couldn't imagine how desperate Lin Bao must have felt in his final moments. This body-protection art was simply too outrageous, too unreasonable.
"What's wrong? Still not convinced? I can stand here and let you hit me, and you still won't be able to make me take half a step back?" Xia Ping looked at Jiang Yaru with a beaming smile, perfectly at ease.
He had to admit that Jiang Yaru was a genuine genius. The fact that she had learned the Thousand Buddha Hands of Tathagata was proof of how formidable she was. The ninth-level Martial Apprentice Realm contestant she'd beaten earlier hadn't lost unfairly.
But she was still nowhere near breaking through the defenses of his Northern Underworld Body Protection Art. At the very least, she would probably need to reach the Martial Artist Realm before she could even try.
"Damn it! I don't believe your defenses are really that invincible." Unwilling to give up, Jiang Yaru bit her lip, her eyes blazing with a fierce desire to fight.
Thousand Buddha Hands of Tathagata, ultimate art: Buddha Point Thousand Lamps!
