A cone-shaped, translucent shock wave appeared out of thin air before the edge of Ning Junping's hand, its fingers covered in crude metal bones, visible to the naked eye!
Even without using the full structure of the Soul Tool Exoskeleton to add thrust to his movement, Ning Junping's knife-hand strike still far exceeded the speed of sound, slicing through one sonic barrier after another in midair.
Wu Fentian likewise reached out a hand to intercept Ning Junping's knife-hand strike. When his bare palm collided with the iron hand encased in metal finger guards, both men actually took a step back!
"Hiss-"
Wu Fentian was startled and instinctively shook his hand. He felt that the collision between his little finger and Ning Junping's hand had nearly cracked the bone, and any trace of disdain he had felt for this Soul Tool Exoskeleton vanished.
One only had to think of Tang Hao, who had beaten Zhao Wuji and Flender black and blue with nothing but physical strength, without activating his Martial Soul or using his Soul Rings when Tang San had first enrolled, to roughly understand just how devastating Ning Junping's knife-hand strike had been.
Granted, Zhao Wuji and Flender most likely had not dared to fight back much back then, and Tang Hao's cultivation at the time had been a few levels higher than Wu Fentian's was now.
But one thing was certain: with physical strength alone, a Power Attack System Titled Douluo could absolutely beat a Soul Saint who had activated their Martial Soul until they were covered in injuries. The destructive power of each punch differed little from that of a Soul Skill.
Merely by activating the Soul Tool Exoskeleton before him, Ning Junping had delivered a knife-hand slash capable of clashing with a Power Attack System Titled Douluo
