Ren surged forward, and the world exploded.
The first clash ripped through the air, sending shockwaves in every direction.
The ground beneath them shattered into fragments as the Blurred Man blocked Ren's flaming fist.
The distortion around him rippled, then reformed, the man laughing even as the blow connected.
"Excellent!" he shouted over the roar of their colliding powers. "Let's see how much of that fire you can handle!"
He blurred out of view.
Ren barely managed to raise his arms before the counterstrike came.
A knee to the ribs that folded him in half, followed by an open palm that sent him crashing through a wall.
Pain flared, but his body responded instantly. Unfettered Enhancement flared, repairing the damage in real time.
Strength poured into him, not like a sudden surge, but like compounding interest on every wound and every motion.
The Blurred Man materialized again, already swinging. "Faster!"
