"I am surprised you could match my strength," Avtar said with a grin, watching Ben completely neutralize his punch. 

Ben didn't respond to anything, but he too smiled. Taking a step back, he locked in an instant spin kick, aiming for the head. 

The Avtar ducked the kick, bending his body; he too sent a kick, aiming towards Ben. 

Ben didn't have enough time to gain balance or duck the attack; he used the Blood Veins skill in his right hand to directly tackle the attack. 

As the kick hit, Ben stood there unfazed while his opponent was momentarily stunned, like hitting a metal. 

Seizing the opportunity, Ben threw another punch towards the Avtar, which he ducked. But neither of them stopped there, as they began to throw punches and kicks at each other. In less than a minute, more than 40 attacks were exchanged between them, but none of them hit their mark.
