The aftermath of the clash didn't die down for a long while. When it eventually did, Mar-Yue was seen looking at Sol who was relatively fine with a shocked look on her face.
"H-How were you able to block that?"
Sol swallowed the bit of blood that came up his throat as he walked towards Mar-Yue.
If he had taken off his bracelets then he could have easily handled Mar-Yue's punch, and even though he could handle it somewhat with his base power despite not having an elemental Aether Energy that could reinforce his strength, Mar-Yue having all of her acupoints open and being someone who was truly a Quasi-Spiritual Realm cultivator caused his internal organs to rattle a bit. That was adding to her Fire Aether Energy that reinforced her fist strike.
After Sol stopped in front of her, Mar-Yue looked at him and asked.
"You have all of your bones refined as well?"
Sol nodded.
"Can you keep your end of the deal?"
