Martin's Prowess

Most people had to be protected by the elders to soothe pressure That came with Matheo's aura Did not harm Anybody, However, Martin noticed Anthony was not being protected and was Blown away by the pressure.

"Why isn't anybody helping him?!" Martin demanded, he was visibly furious and turned to the elders for an answer.

"I would focus if I were you," Marlice said emotionlessly as Matheo Initiated His attack, Matheo rushed at Martin and swung his blade at Martin's neck, Martin narrowed his eyes and parried the strike to the side before twirling his spear and stabbing at Matheo's ribs. Matheo utilized his sword pressure and struck at the spear head causing a mild explosion of pressure that deeply cracked the ground beneath them.

Martin wasn't done and withdrew the spear head twirling it again and making Another stabbing motion, this time though he was going to activate a Martial Skill. It was one of the clan's other floral Martial skills: thousand chronicles joust. As Martin made the stabbing motions they all left images that attacked Matheo.

"Merely these bits of ability" Matheo mocked as he swung his sword into the Centre of the onslaught of attacks activating a Floral martial technique: Vain blade.

The difference between a Martial skill and a Martial technique was simple, A martial skill was a projection of ones cultivation along power and affiliation, while a Martial technique was a display of combat experience in a way.

Another concept to look at it was like this A man being able to conjure lightning would be drawing power in a sense, that would be seen as a Martial skill, But a technique on the other hand would be something along the lines of forming a lightning Chaim to bind an opponent, thus making the power your own, that would be a Martial technique, thus it is only natural that merging skills and techniques would bring out more power.

Martin saw the situation would be bad if the attack landed activated a Martial technique :octane point, the multiple images merged at one point and went forth In a burst of power, Martins power momentarily went up by another Rank.

when the spear head and the blade connected a much more violent explosion of auras occurred and a mist cloud even formed, but to the crowds' surprise it was Matheo that was sent flying backwards, by a good 12 yards as well before crashing multiple times into the ground. Martin rushed out of the mist cloud with the intention of attacking again, Matheo was still on lying on his chest with gritted teeth he was still recovering. Martin drove his foot into the ground when he arrived before Matheo and twisted his body dragging his other foot through the dirt to back heel Matheo 15 feeet into the air, Martin then effortlessly jumped just above Matheo and struck him to the ground with his full battle power utilized.

Matheo crashed into the ground creating a massive mist cloud on the ground as a resounding boom was heard, Martin landed on his feet and flipped his sleeves with a satisfied smile as he announced, "There is no need to continue this farce? Just admit defeat and apologize to my brother, after that nobody would look further into this situation" .

The mist cloud cleared and revealed Matheo barely balancing on his feet with an ugly glare on his face, his clothes were tattered, his body was battered and he had lost a lot of his reputation as a genius, thus he had brought out a black pill and was holding it to his mouth.

"I advise against doing something like that, you will no longer be considered a genius or a man of upright nature if you do, a floral Forbidden pill is forbidden for a reason" Martin warned sternly as he grasped his spear tightly.

"Sp it seems you do know fear. Well I must return what you said to you, Might is right only the powerful can speak out and status is a representation of power, and It's through that status that I obtained this, only I wonder what you plan to do about it, or did you not bring those berserker pills that temporarily unseal your beast form??" Matheo mocked proudly as he consumed the pill in one go, A black aura surged forth as Matheo's cultivation rose by 2 ranks and his battle power now climbed 3 ranks. Matheo laughed frantically when he saw the irked expression on Martin's face.

Anthony that Initially felt helpless in the situation frowned and sent his brother a mental message, "Do you have your berserker pills?"

"Unfortunately not.... Crap I should have expected this" Martin responded with a self depreciating chuckle also through a mental message so nobody could hear them.

"Then let me help. While I cannot fight myself, I can unseal your beast form for 10 minutes right now and can fully unseal it later when given more time" Anthony suggested almost desperately, he knew his brother was doing this only because it was him, he also knew all his family endured to keep him On the clan till now, all he wanted to do was help out a bit.

"I trust you, do what you see fit" Martin responded as he kept his gaze fixed on Matheo who was still getting used to the power for any sudden movements. Anthony made some hand sign and finger jabbed his palms so a tiny array circle formed on his palm, he also manipulated the circles power outlet and shot a palm strike at Martin so the circle landed on Martins back.

A faint light enshrouded Martin's body and merged with him before disappearing completely, but he still grinned proudly as he pupil changed into a slit and his entire body structure loosened. "I knew dad was right to take you in" Martin muttered under his breath as he stabbed his spear into the earth and punished his palm causing a resounding shockwave before activating his beast form.
