The Martial Unity

In a region of the Great Forest of Hypnonarak, silence reigned as two Martial Seniors stared at each other. Their eyes were fixed on their opponents, such that they could not even see anything else.

There was silence, and then there was not.

"HRYAH!" Senior Zenshin burst into motion as his body uncoiled, springing him into a spiral.

Rui's eyes narrowed as he launched off into a sprint, his fist surging forward as he prepared a Flowing Canon. Yet when it was merely a meter away, Zenshin abandoned his technique, redirecting his revolving claws towards Rui.

Unfortunately for him, Rui's predictive model foresaw the attempt.

WHOOSH!

Zenshin's eyes widened with shock as the attack crashed into an empty image.

A feint.

BAM!!

A powerful hook empowered with Outer Convergence and Reverberating Lance crashed into the man's liver, as Rui pushed himself away from Senior Zenshin with the recoil from the attack. "Tsk!" Senior Zenshin tutted, hiding his pain. He was far from ready to give up.

"HYAH!" The man launched himself into a spin almost immediately, hoping to catch Rui off-guard. Yet Rui had foreseen that as well.
