Athena's prayers went unheard by Feng Yi. During their first exchange of blows, neither of them had gone all-out, merely testing each other's abilities. Much to both of their surprise, Feng Yi had not anticipated his opponent's body to be as strong as it was.
Franklin stood up, spat out a mouthful of saliva, and shrugged off his shirt to reveal a body covered in scars. He was a master of a ghostlike assassination combat style, which mainly revolved around grappling and throwing techniques. If he got hold of you, it's almost certain that joints would be twisted out of place, dislocation was inescapable.
Feng Yi, on the other hand, launched a feint to start off the fight. Impossible, a master of his caliber would never rely on such basic moves like those performed in a gym as an opener. But whether it was or wasn't, people barely had any time to ponder. Without missing a beat, both warriors were again locked in combat.
