Lin Shen had been guarding against Cosimo for a long time. Almost the moment Cosimo made his move, Lin Shen's carapace enveloped his entire body.
Cosimo's movements were lightning-fast, likely at Ascension Level. Lin Shen initially planned to dodge the attack using Stepping on the Immortal Court, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a familiar aircraft appear in the sky.
In that split second, Lin Shen abandoned the idea of dodging and instead threw a punch toward Cosimo's palm.
With the Boundless Strength Contract's enhancement, Lin Shen's strength had already reached nearly sixty, making him comparable to an average Ascender. Even without using his innate skills, regular Ascenders could hardly threaten him.
But as his fist collided with Cosimo's palm, Lin Shen immediately felt an enormous force strike him—a power he couldn't counter.
Lin Shen hadn't intended to use his full strength. He immediately leveraged the force and flew backward.
