The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Felix mirrored the gesture as a sign of respect.

Heath reminded him of Ronan in some ways-both carried an air of innocence and inexperience. The match began abruptly, with Heath making the first move. He remained rooted in place and sent a palm strike hurtling toward Felix from a distance.

The power was palpable. If his earlier gesture could create gale-force winds, this deliberate attack shattered the very air.

A cacophony of snapping and crackling filled the arena, showing just how terrifyingly powerful his seemingly straightforward strike truly was.

Felix vanished from his spot and reappeared at Heath's flank, delivering a swift roundhouse kick. Heath didn't dodge or flinch. Instead, he absorbed the attack with his body and struck again. Immediately, Felix retreated several feet away.

He felt like he'd kicked against a mountain earlier. It was completely ineffective against Heath, proving that the latter's body possessed incredible resilience to physical attacks.

Moreover, that kick's power was equivalent to an early-stage Blood Realm strike. Yet, judging by Heath's essence, he was merely at the Pulse Realm.

"Wow. Felix is fast, but it doesn't look like he can hurt that guy. That big guy's defense is unreal."
