Lin Mu's fist glowed faintly red. Just a soft shimmer of immortal essence around his knuckles. Compared to Eldran's monstrous hundred meter attack, Lin Mu looked almost insignificant.
A single man facing a titan.
But appearances lied.
Lin Mu inhaled slowly. The world quieted. His heartbeat grew steady. His fist tightened slightly as a wave of raw, pure physical power surged through it. It turned into two ribbons of Immortal Essence that spun together and turned into a double Helix.
He was using the First Form of the Mountain Collapsing Fist: Impact.
For this he used, twenty percent of his immortal essence. A casual amount for Lin Mu, yet enough to obliterate mountains. Enough to create quakes. Enough to terrify immortals.
He could have used more. But he did not know how much Eldran could withstand.
The referee swallowed nervously as he felt the tense atmosphere.
The entire stadium held its breath.
A minute passed like eternity.
Then.
They struck.
