A Showdown Between a Thinking Reed and a Martial Arts Prodigy

...

As Uno and Arthur stared at each other, the manifested bloodlust and multicolored flame enveloped their bodies, seemingly accumulating momentum.

Roar! Roar!

At the same time, the Battle Spirits behind them leaped into the air, clashing against each other. These two colossal beings wrestled in the air – biting, hitting, and scratching each other.

These two manifested beings represented the insight, battle style, and talents of the two combatants, so the two beasts represented the martial exchange between the two without movement.

They might not have moved physically since the start of the battle, but they were exchanging multiple times inside their heads already, which was also what the Void Beast and the Ancient Dragon were doing.

This was how the experts at the Ascension Realm tested each other when trying to measure the opposing party's strength.
