Rui had activated Hypertrophic Surge as he banked everything on his long-range offense. It had the highest probability of ending the fight, largely because the man was unable to evade the heavy attacks and could only withstand them.
And it appeared that his estimations weren't too far away from the truth.
RUMBLE!
The very land around them shook violently as the two Martial Seniors punished it with the power of their conflict. Senior Minneson gritted his teeth as he did his best to weather everything that Rui threw at him, yet it was clear that Rui's power had exceeded his expectations.
He had not expected the younger Martial Senior to be able to output such ferocious power continuously. Given the fact that his Martial Heart was dimmer than any other he had ever seen, it meant that this power was a product of his Martial Art rather than his Martial Heart.
