Spar I

Michael dived into close combat. He kicked the ground, closing the distance to Ligno'vsh near-instantly. The Aethyr Scimitar cut diagonally across Lig's chest with terrifying velocity, but Ligno'vsh managed to twist her body and redirect his attack with a feisty punch at the blade's flat side. 

Michael didn't expect Lig to be able to keep up with him. Several Soul Tears augmented Sacred Constitution and Enhancement, pushing his physical attributes to a very high level, especially after several Enhancement Layers applied to Sacred Constitution. Adding Heavenly Beast Physique and Foundation Break, Michael was certain that no 4th Tier would be able to compete with him in terms of physical prowess.

Even 5th Tier Awakened shouldn't have an easy time. 

Despite the slight surprise, Michael cut Lig with the short sword on his left. The blade disappeared from Lig's sight when the Aethyr Scimitar shot out and reappeared only when it was already too late.
