Chapter 292: Outcome

Rui gained a more thorough understanding of Hafbor's formidability through their exchanges. The man was probably the best defense-oriented Martial Artist he had come across. Arjun was strong as well, but his Martial Art was mostly passive, since his Martial Path was body conditioning.

Rui was of the opinion that well-balanced defenses such as Hafbor's were the hardest to deal with.

Still, one good thing about the fight was that Rui could be as aggressive as he wanted. Hafbor's offensive and counter-offensive initiative was not all that threatening to Rui. In most cases, he was too slow to land a clean strike on Rui, and even if he weren't his offense was not impressive. It wasn't weak, either, Rui couldn't withstand it with zero damage, but it would truly take a long time before the damage could actually hinder Rui.
