He doesn't just let things hit him, he deliberately focuses aura onto his hands to use it as a more powerful shield. That's what I meant. The Aura being strong was a manner of speaking. The point is that having a large aura doesn't mean you can stop strong attacks naturally. You need to train yourself to be able to use your Aura as a shield like Ren does. .. But Aura also naturally protects you from injury, regardless of whether or not you can create a localized shield with your hands.

And Ren being able to do that may be considered exceptional, as it seems that he may have trained his Aura control to a level above what most Huntsmen do, as I explained in my post.
