Ian's defensive breathing technique was incredibly strong by itself. Rui was sure that it was stronger than all three of his defensive techniques combined.

POW!

An incredibly swift blow slammed into Rui's guard. Rui gritted his teeth as he used Inner Divergence, Elastic Shift and Acute Edge to mitigate as much of the impact as he could.

WHOOSH

Rui cleanly dodged the next attack with a well-timed feint, throwing a swift lower kick.

POW!

Ian merely threw an arrogant look at him. As if trying to say the blow didn't hurt him at all. The worst part was that it was probably true.

('Okay, let's try something else.')

Rui opened up some space between them, leaping back. Yet Ian immediately pursued, shifting to Lightning Breathing to increase his speed.

Yet rather than trying to retreat faster, Rui immediately paused and rushed back at Ian.

BAM!

A powerful impact crashed into Ian as Rui threw his most powerful blow; a Flowing Canon boosted with Outer Convergence, Vital Pressure, Parallel Walk and Balanced Direction. The sheer momentum and power of this attack was the highest of all of his attacks.

Not even Ian could shrug it off. He turtled behind his guard, even skidding back a meter from the impact.

It looked great, but Rui knew that the attack wasn't truly meaningful. Sure, it probably hurt and bruised him a bit, but in the long run that meant nothing. He needed to defeat Ian, not just hurt him.
