The Martial Unity

Chapter 290

The body constantly had to maintain balance. This was easy to do if one was merely standing in one place. However, it was not as simple when launching a powerful attack. A large amount of mass of the body shifted very rapidly when attacks were launched, it was not easy to maintain balance when it was being disrupted so much and so quickly.

It may seem easy to launch a strong punch, but that was only because the sub-conscious mind worked very hard and fast to ensure balance was always maintained at all times. In reality, everyone's balance was always one step away from being lost.

Hafbor's redirection was centered around that fact.

Rather than pushing Havier's strikes out of the way like normal parries worked. He was pushing Havier's body just enough off balance in just the correct way that the strike would inevitably go off-trajectory due to the body's imbalance.

So how did the mind handle that?

It countered the imbalance he caused by shifting and moving the body in the right way to restore balance. And that was what Hafbor used.

The strike's trajectory would be ruined because the sub-conscious mind was altering the trajectory in the correct way to restore the balance that Hafbor had ruined.

Thus, he purposefully shifted all of Havier's strikes off-trajectory by imbalancing his flow of power precisely such that the strikes would need to go off-trajectory for balance to be restored.

The imbalancing wasn't the impressive part, what Rui found impressive was that Hafbor knew exactly how, where and when to imbalance the body and the flow of power such that the strikes would inevitably miss him.

Furthermore, he did this in extremely brief periods of time. Havier was very fast and Hafborn only had a short window before he could do this.
