Chapter 178: Until the Heart Beats (5)
“Covering your body in sword energy defies common sense.”
Why were unarmed martial artists like pugilists so rare?
It was because they couldn’t wrap their bodies in energy like swordmasters could with their weapons.
The density of such energy was too much for the fragile human body to handle.
Wrapping energy around one’s fists or feet might be an intriguing thought, but in practice, it was unthinkable. Attempting it could lead to the body melting or tearing apart.
But Ihan’s body...
Whoosh!
—"My body’s tougher than most armor or greatswords, so who cares?"
Trusting in his body’s durability, Ihan didn’t hesitate to attempt the Protective Aura Shield and then—
BOOM!
He charged forward.
The mass of soil and rocks threatening to engulf him didn’t faze him.
