At that moment, the entire audience on Star Web was wondering the same thing.
What was Black up to!? Why did he use his body to receive the deadly attack? It was common knowledge that spirit qi professionals' bodies were frail. This was a fact that even regular people were aware of.
S-rank spirit qi professionals could use their spiritual power to create a shield. The spirit qi that enveloped the shield would be able to effectively fend off attacks.
Unless they were cornered, S-rank spirit qi professionals would never expose themselves to an attack.
It took too much spiritual power to create a shield, and the shield created would be far weaker than that of a defense-type fey.
The shield produced by a pinnacle emperor-class expert that had a Suzerain X/Myth III fey had similar strength to a Suzerain V/Myth I defense-type fey.
It was impossible that Black was an S-rank spirit qi professional, meaning he could not produce the shield of spirit qi.
