The Martial Unity

"On one hand we have representative Arjun Erigaisi and his Adamant Boulder style representing the Hrava branch! He's touted as the Adamant Boulder in the Martial Community for his impregnable defense! Join me in welcoming him!" The commentator declared.

The crowd burst into cheers and an applause.

Arjun Erigaisi entered the arena, immediately drawing all attention to him. His stature and physique were enormous, he was nearly seven-feet tall. He had the presence of a looming mountain towering over everybody that laid eyes on him!

"On the other hand, we have representative Servil Bisha and her Flickering Core style representing the Gragol branch. Known as the Flickering Ghoul in the Martial Community, none of you will want to miss out on this fight!"

Servil looked like she hadn't slept in a while. She had bags under her eyes. Yet she exuded an aura of peril. Primordial Sense did not even want to touch her.

She was one of the few Martial Artists that none of his friends new much about.

"Take your stances." The referee instructed.

Arjun adopted an incredibly defensive stance, as Rui expected. He divided his legs, stabilizing his balance and planting himself in one place firmly. His arms were in front of him, guarding him. It was a stance that was at the epitome of defense.

Servil instead adopted a rather neutral stance. Yet Primordial Sense still indicated to him that something was wrong. Her stance was quite tame, yet the danger she exuded was most certainly not.

"Begin!" The referee commenced the match.

Servil dashed towards Arjun as he remained stationary. She launched powerful several attacks at him.
