I walked forward drawing Tyrhrung. {You ready Tyr?} {Yup, lets go! Lets beat up this old man.} Once again the coin is thrown into the sky. I put prepare the Laido stance ready for the quick draw and use mana and Qi enhancements. The coin touches the ground and the match begins. I don't move and instead spread my consciousness around my self to be able to react to anything from a stone falling to the temperature and direction the wind is blowing. I forgot to explain martial skills be cause I didn't use them against the red berserker goblin. That was due to the fact that most martial skills have a lag time or some other downside and I was already much weaker than my opponent, and they are made to be used against human opponents. Originally martial skills did not exist they were just techniques slowly created and refined over time. Until one day a single human who was cursed to be unable to use weapon skills went and mastered every technique and became the strongest martial artist and completed the 'Trial of the Moving Gate' to become the Martial God and created martial skills. So I use the martial skills to enhance my myself. "[Lightning Slash Prep.][Dominate Zone][God speed]" [Lightning Slash Prep.] is similar to [Lightning Slash] but you cant move and it isn't activated instantly. [Dominate Zone] increases reaction speed but makes it impossible to move your legs, and [God Speed] accelerates your next set of actions (in this case my next couple of attacks). I perfectly relax my muscles to maximize their flexibility. Now after waiting a second Guild Master dashes right at me realizing it doesn't matter which direction he comes at me and he might as well gain as maximize his speed. I'm scared of his huge smile Unlike all his previous matches he uses martial skills. "[Meteor Run][Force Genocide][Berserk][Head Crash][Smash]" [Meteor Run] increases forward momentum and force by 5x. [Berserk] increases damage received and dealt. [Head Crash] increases damage resistances from the front, and [Smash] increases damage output. It didn't even take a tenth of a second for him reach my area of control. I maximize and input all my mana and Qi into my enhancements, cladding, and fairy marks. At the same time Tyrhrung lends me her mana and activates all of her various magics to maximize my status to accelerate it further till both of us exhaust all our mana. A basic movement. A single draw and slash. I use my arms as springboards, twist my waist take a step forward. My foot dings into the ground as it assists the whole body movement of the single perfect slash. All of this created a single slash that could only be called a flash of light. The living cannonball meets this this head on... ...And everything goes black.
