The Martial Unity

BAM BAM BAM!

Rui somersaulted away as he evaded wind blast attacks from Squire Dylon. The speed at which they were launched and propelled as well as their power all exceeded the conventional limit of the Apprentice Realm. Yet Rui had been able to predict and react to all of them with the help of the combination of the secondary brain, the VOID algorithm, and Primordial Instinct allowing him to cleanly evade a majority of Squire Dylon's attacks.

CLASP

Dylon grabbed his arms holding them in place, yet instead of grappling, he simply took in a deep breath.

Rui's eyes widened as he ducked sharply while executing Flux Flow to destabilize Dylon. Dylon staggered a bit as he spat out a blazing fireball that just narrowly missed Rui thanks to the sabotage.

WHOOSH

The flames dispelled harmlessly as Rui broke out of his grip and leaped backward, wiping off sweat from his forehead, as he glanced up at Squire Dylon warily. His offense was genuinely diverse and versatile. Despite the fact that it was easier to adapt to specialized Martial Artists, Dylon couldn't be considered a specialist with how many various offensive options he had.

WHOOSH

Rui cleanly evaded a powerful haymaker swing, as he carefully maintained his distance. Even though Dylon was operating with a speed and power that was at a quasi-Squire level. He was unable to gain a sustained advantage against Rui!

He knew Rui was special, but this was genuinely surprising to him. He couldn't believe how powerful he had become. His reactions were almost closer to what one might expect from a Squire than what one would expect from a mere Martial Apprentice. There were moments where it felt as though he had seen right through completely, these were times when Rui began moving before Dylon to counter moves that came after.

It was thoroughly bewildering.

The combined power of Vital Pressure, Outer Convergence, Flame Breathing, Adamant Reforging, and Reverberating Lance boosted the impact of every single one of his strikes.
