The Martial Unity

Rui didn't even bother hiding.

What need was there to?

WHOOSH!

He simply activated his Martial Heart as he rushed forward to the Senior-level figure that he sensed in the distance.

In just a moment, he had already arrived.

Yet it appeared that his opponent had sensed him as well. They took a moment to size each other up when Rui closed on him.

The man was gargantuan, he clearly possessed a body that was certainly attributed to offense or defense, or both.

BOOM!

Rui rushed in with a powerful Flowing Canon that crashed into his powerful guard. Instantly, an immensely powerful wave of destruction arose from their clash, erupting until it engulfed a massive amount of area.

Yet Rui could only widen his eyes when the man guarded the attack solidly. His guard held strong, hardly yielding any ground even under the weight of Rui's strongest close-range attack.

BAM!

Rui barely blocked an immensely swift haymaker swing, flinging him away a good distance.

"Which nation are you from, boy?" He gruffly inquired as he walked towards Rui. "You have the weakest Martial Heart that I have ever seen. Is it defective? Hahaha!"

He mocked Rui as he took his stance, a look of realization emerged on his face. "Ah now that I think about it, you must be the one that took down Albas, eh?"

Rui didn't respond, simply analyzing him to the best of his abilities.
