"Since you're a form user, why don't we test our hand to hand combat first" Said Okan.
Storm smiled and replied, "Sure".
"Well seeing as you're sitting still, I'll make the first move then", Said Okan.
Before Storm could perceive Okan's movements, Okan was already in his face after leaving trails of black wind.
He sent a fist that had sharp black winds revolving it straight towards Storm's chest.
Even though Storm didn't initially see his extreme speed, his experience and instincts helped him easily react and respond.
He sent a quick fist of his own, though it seemed his response strike would be shredded to bits by Okan's.
That was until golden holographic light composed of miniature weird seals covered Storm's first just before contact.
The moment the two fists met, a loud irritating sound rang out.
It was as if extremely sharp blades were constantly trying to cut through an impenetrable steel wall.
Neither of the two gave way as there fists remained locked for about three breaths.
Then they began. A flurry of endless blows were exchanged between the two. Punches, kicks, elbows and more.
Each blow exchange was accompanied by that sharp clanging metal sound.
Yet, they hadn't used any real skills, just their basic combat abilities. But this changed in an instant, and the first to use a skill was Storm.
"Smiting Solar Flate Fist", he shouted.
As expected from someone at his level, it was certainly beyond a basic skill, and Horo could easily tell with his soul module.
Its capabilities were now far beyond what they originally were and now with Alma, the module spirit's help, a lot of its abilities were far beyond what should have been available with his level of power.
[Smiting Solar Flare Fist] is an advanced skill that neared the grand tier, so of course its power was tremendous.
After ducking a fist from Okan, Storm didn't rise up he stayed low and Performed the skill he called out.
One would have thought he was aiming at the knee that Okan was following up with, but no, that's wasn't the case.
Okan suddenly disappeared from his spot by using his strange movement technique.
This is because the moment Storm's fist began heading downward, so did an extremely bright solar flare like light that was shaped like a fist appeared a meter above Okan's head.
Well, more like his entire body because the fist was larger than his body, and it came down just as fast as Storm's hand did.
The offensive power of this skill was outrageous and Okan knew it would caused grievous wounds if not worse.
Luckily his movement technique is one of the Valley's infamous ultimate techniques.
That Solar flare fist his the stage and blew chunks out of it while leaving a blackened scorch mark.
Yet that was only the beginning or skills to be used now.
But before they continued Okan said, "So, I guess that's the end of our form using exchanged?"
Storm replied, "Actually that was a form using skill, and I'm sure you can see my physique is the reason it contains energy handling properties."
Indeed Okan knew he had a special physique from the information card the matches had of their opponents.
But horo knew even more about the physique, in fact he could see all of its details.
