3/5
It might be a careless mistake in the defending side's part or it might not, however, just the fact alone that a Core Formation Realm cultivator manages to inflict damage upon an expert of the Ascension Realm is something undeniable, especially since everyone present in the coliseum can see that deep gash running along the stern-looking middle-aged man's right arm, the one he used to try and block the immortal-like young man's attack.
Said man is now looking at the young man in front of him with anger in his eyes, the humiliation he's currently experiencing more than enough to bring a full pledged normal adult man into hyperventilating, yet he holds on steadily, merely displaying traces of his anger on the surface, a proof of his powerful mental and emotional strength.
