The Martial Unity

Fernan had a beautiful face aesthetically, many would say. His soft features were calming and pleasant.

This was in sharp contrast to the rest of the body. Two extra arms stuck from an opening on a bump on his shoulder while a huge black-feathered pair of wings grew from his mid-back section.

One pair of arms folded into closed defensive guards while the remaining two took an aggressive stance.

Rui nodded, this made sense. With four arms, he could maintain the perfect offense and defense at all times!

His wings lifted into the air, stretching back as much as they could.

His intentions were clear. He intended to get into flight the moment the match began.

"Begin." The arbiter began the match.

WHOOSH

A huge gust of wind was released as Fernan took the air immediately. Apprentice Jivia had tried to intercept him before he could reach the air, but the distance was too great and Fernan was not slow.

Rui was amazed at how stable Fernan's flight was, his trajectories were smooth and uniform, he didn't wobble or stumble midair or do anything of the sort.

He was even able to hover midair in a stable manner, which truly impressed Rui. Most birds weren't able to hover stationarily. There were only a handful of birds that could that, like the hummingbird. It flapped its wings with high frequency to generate a constant thrust upwards that canceled its weight.

Fernan was doing a similar thing with his pair of wings. He simply hovered as he looked down at his opponent. The initiative of the battle was thoroughly in his hands.

Finally, he made a move.

BOOM!!

He flapped his wings with incredible swiftness.

A tremendous wind blast emerged from his wings. The sheer force and speed of the wind attack greatly surpassed Rui's Tempestuous Ripple! Objectively, his power was not particularly above Rui's own power since Tempestuous Ripple's power was much below his normal power and lethality. However, it shocked Rui that he could output from such a distance. Not even Ana's Martial Art allowed her to output such levels of power from a distance.
