Alex pushed Michelle aside and activated his Mystic Armor. With this, a faint yellow
turtle shell formed around his whole body to block all of Geraldâs attacks.
He took the others out to prevent them from harming Michelle once he got busy battling
Gerald. Thatâs why he included a seal in the needles to seal away their skills as well.
The combination of Geraldâs staff and his inner force as a Peak Mystic rank fighter
allowed his Chi to form an odd change in the atmosphere. His movements became as
fast as lightning, they just seemed inhumanly possible.
The Yowells felt a gush of hopelessness and despair as soon as they saw how powerful
his attack would be.
The other Pattingsons stopped wailing as they fixed their eyes on the two, refusing to
blink.
It was rare to see a Peak Mystic rank fighter attack, so none of them wanted to miss a
second of this battle. Moreover, they hated Alexâs guts, really hoping to see him die
under Geraldâs staff.
Bam!
A loud thud echoed through the plaza as Geraldâs Chi flowed out like a large wave.
Michelle turned around, not daring to watch this any further. Her tears streamed down
her cheeks as she screamed in fear.
Just as everyone thought Alex had died from this brutal attack, he shouted and formed
a thicker layer of armor around his body. He blocked the attack with only his body.
The brick floor shattered under his feet, forming a large pit around him.
âWhat?â Everyone was shocked, they couldnât believe their eyes.
Many started rubbing their eyes with their hands, worried that they were hallucinating.
The Yowells wanted to rub their eyes as well, but they were currently tied up and
restricted.
Gerald was fairly surprised as he felt goosebumps on his entire body.
âThis is strange.â
He had given his all with this attack. Even if an Earth rank fighter were to block this
attack with their body, he was confident that he would at least break a bone or two.
âHow can this guy block my attack perfectly despite not having any skills?â
âIs that all youâve got?â Alex jumped out of the pit, his eyes were filled with
determination.
Alex didnât expect the Mystic Armor to be this strong in defense. He had originally
thought that he wouldnât be able to take the hit, but he figured that it had unworldly
strength because it was something his ancestor had given him. It was no wonder he
didnât need any forms of attacks.
âThe all rounded defense, Turtle Shell Armor? How very interesting! Letâs see how many
attacks you can take then!â
âBreak through, my Golden Celestial Staff!â
âBreak! Break! Break!â Gerald attacked again, bringing down his staff on Alex multiple
times like a storm.
Alex didnât dodge any of his attacks. He just blocked them with his arms.
From the othersâ point of view, Alex looked like he couldnât fight back at all, getting
beaten up like a ragdoll. Alex realized that his Mystic Armorâs defense increased with
every attack. Initially, he felt the impact of the attack and it was still quite painful on his
end.
But the impacts started fading away with time.
In the end, he started to relax as the attacks began to feel like a massage on his body.
The Pattingsons, on the other hand, were cheering.
âBeat him up! Kill that punk!â
âBeat that bastard to death!â
âMr. Pattingson, you can do it! Smash him to bits! â
âBash him! Whack him! Beat⦠Uhm, Mr. Pattingson, maybe⦠You should stop?â
The more they cheered, the quieter they became.
It became too unsettling to watch. A while ago, Alex would still use his arm to block the
attacks, yet now he was just letting Gerald beat him with his staff without moving an
inch.
Even when Gerald aimed for his head, he didnât dodge as well. As if his head was a
hundred times harder than the bald guyâs.
âIs he still human?â
The Yowells had their mouths agape.
It was obvious as to who had the upper hand in this fight Gerald was using all his might
yet he couldnât break through Alexâs defenses one bit. Although Alex just stood there
and allowed the attacks, Gerald couldnât even leave a scratch.
The differences between their skills were too large.
The Pattingsons fell silent.
They had imagined many ways to insult and humiliate Alex and Michelle, yet none of
them expected this to be the result
âIs this young man an Earth rank fighter?â
âIf he was, he was most definitely not just a beginner.â
