Shin observed his opponent closely with his 'True Sight' technique. And after a couple of monts, he discovered that even though Fla managed to reach a high level of control over his superpowers and also imitate the Qi Armant Skill of Void Manifestation Stage experts, the form of his armor was not that stable.
At the very least, Shin could occasionally find so flaws in the fla armor which he could take advantage of when the fight started.
At the sa ti, he could also use his own technique to further enhanced his strength. His Martial Arts were currently sealed, so he could not use his Qi Reinforcent Skills to strengthen his body. He was also unable to activate it even though his body had fully adapted to it.
Fortunately, the Qi Reinforcent Skill that Professor Plum had created to complent his Yin-Yang Arts was out of the ordinary. It could not only enhance his abilities during the battle, but it could also toughen up his body when training it. And because of this, Shin was able to retain so of its powers even though it was not at its full might.
Aside from this, his ntalism Techniques would also not lag behind. If Martial Arts had Qi Reinforcent Skills, then ntalism had its ntalism Enhancent.
Qi Reinforcent Skills could make a person's body tougher and more powerful while ntalism Enhancents could further improve the already powerful body of an individual. In a sense, their purpose was the sa, though their thods were slightly different.
Shin still hadn't reached the desired mastery over his Qi Reinforcent Skill and ntalism Enhancent to combine them, creating his personal Unified Strengthening. But he at least had a deep understanding of these two.
At his ntalism Enhancent was also different from the norm since it was derived from the technique that Grandmaster Benn had created, another usage of ntalism Runes.
The glowing runes that seed to be engraved on Shin's skin released a more brilliant light. The runes on his arms spread up and reached his shoulders, forming a ntalism Sequence. It even reached his chest and back before joining together and forming a magical circle at the center of his chest strange patterns on his back.
The runes on his legs also climbed up and ford a similar-looking sequence but did not reach higher than his waist. They stopped on his hips before joining together just like what happened on his upper body.
This was the ntalism Enhancent of Shin and it boosted all of his combat capabilities by a large margin. But despite gaining a powerful upgrade, the expression on his face remained dark as he fully understood his current situation.
Keeping this ntalism Enhancent active would be added to the burden that he was already enduring. If he committed a single mistake, then the price that he had to pay would be pretty disastrous for his body.
'It is coming!' thought Shin as he saw the fireballs surrounding his opponent disappear in a flash. He could sense their movents through his Spiritual Sense and knew that they were moving at a much faster speed than the previous exchange.
Since he did not have the ti to put up a ntal energy wall to shield him, Shin had no other choice but to face them head-on.
He read the trajectory of the fireballs before moving his hand accordingly to either block or deflect them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His movents were short and simple. But every ti he gently waved his hand, a smooth trail would be left in the air as he changed the course of the fireballs and sent them away with either his palm or the back of his hand.
His ntal Energy was protecting his arms, so he did not suffer and burn or scorch marks from the fireballs.
There was a brief mont when Shin got a space to catch his breath but he chose not to grab that opportunity and instead spread his arms wide before moving them in a circular manner. One hand was stopped above him while the other was right in front of his crotch. And the mont when they stopped a hexagonal shield appeared in front of him as he pressed his palms forward to support it.
Swoosh!
It was at that mont when Fla suddenly appeared and threw a thrusting punch forward as his entire arm was covered with a raging fla. The front of his fist ford a sharp tip, making his arm look like a blazing pike spear.
Boom!
The attack ca a little too sudden and could surprise any other opponent. Unfortunately, it was ineffective against Shin as he was able to see it from miles away with the help of his True Sight and Spiritual Sense.
Shin planted his feet on the ground to stand firmly as he prepared for a counterattack. But at the sa ti, his opponent had the sa thoughts in mind.
Fla was a veteran rcenary who already went through a lot on the battlefields of war-torn areas, so he was able to quickly see through the plans that Shin was trying to accomplish. He had to take the initiative before the situation got out of control.
Bang!
An explosion erupted from behind his shoulder, pushing his arm forward and producing more pressure on Shin. And due to the strong force produced by that explosion, Shin was pushed back despite his feet firmly rooted in the ground.
A long trail was drawn on the ground as Shin was continuously pushed by his opponent, dragging him away with a forceful advance.
Shin knew that he could no longer continue this way since it would only worsen his internal injuries further. He quickly disengaged with the help of the Four Symbol Scriptures: Holy Azure Dragon Techniques.
Naturally, Fla would not let Shin get away just like and quickly gave chase without any hint of hesitation. He knew that he had the advantage in frontal confrontation since he was in a higher realm in terms of martial arts and physique. Moreover, he had the aid of his fire superpower, so he could continuously pressure Shin with his attacks until he found the right opportunity to land a fatal blow.
Shin continuously moved around with the help of his foot techniques to avoid a frontal confrontation with Fla. Even though he was confident that he could exchange blows with his opponent, he was not in the right state to do it.
Aside from throwing a couple of counterattacks from ti to ti, he was mostly moving around the space that he had while thinking of a way to get out of his current predicant.
Fortunately, his combat and movent techniques were strong enough for this current situation. He might not be able to find a chance to use a more advanced move due to the continuous assaults of his opponents, but it was the sa for the other side since he would quickly advance forward and intervene whenever he saw the opponent preparing for a more powerful move.
Fla understood these two and chose to continue what he was doing right now. Given his advantages with physique and martial might, he would sooner or later suppress Shin as long as he did not commit any mistake.
But this decision was also favorable to Shin since he could buy enough ti for Nathan to arrive and save. He heard earlier from the radio his opponent that there were so people that were trying to delay Nathan, but given his understanding of his uncle, Shin knew that the five minutes that the opposing side had ntioned would not be that accurate.
Reinforcent could arrive earlier than that!
But at the sa ti, it did not an that Shin would passively wait for Nathan to arrive. He would still give his all in this battle and take down this enemy if an opportunity presented itself.
In terms of pure strength and raw power, Shin was obviously on the weaker side. But he was not taking much damage as he was eting the opposing punch with a gentle palm. And every ti he ca in contact with the opposing side, he would always take a step back and turn his feet as a pivot.
He was using a gentle fist to face an iron fist!
He continued to move this way with a particular rhythm to control the movents of his opponent. And this went on until he finally created a chance where he could use an advanced ntalism technique. But instead of using a powerful offensive strike, Shin chose to go with a more defensive move.
He had left a small amount of ntal Energy in every place that they went through in preparation for this move.

Shin quickly took a large hop to disengage from his opponent and quickly put his palms together which produced a huge energy ripple in the air.
Fla wanted to chase after Shin but a thick mist suddenly appeared out of nowhere and hid the tracks of his target. And when he stood at the spot where Shin was supposed to stand, he found nothing but an empty space.
When he swept his gaze around, he found that he was already standing in the middle of a spreading mist that blocked his line of sight.
'Four Symbol Scripture: Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise – Illusionary Ghost Tracks'
With the combination of the movent techniques of the Holy Azure Dragon and the illusion techniques of the Heavenly Black Tortoise, Shin was able to create an environnt that could confuse the sense of his opponent.
By constantly moving in different directions and continuously releasing his ntal energy coupled with other special thods, this technique was created. And with its help, Shin would be able to buy enough ti for himself to regulate his breathing and calm his muscles.
After the earlier exchange, Shin felt that his arms were getting sore due to the heat and power behind each of his opponent's attacks. Even though he was he managed to nullify most of it because of his positioning, his body still received a certain amount of shock and accumulated heat from the successive blazing strikes of the opposing party.
But at the very least, everything was worth it since he could now take the initiative in this battle. Even though he was still on the back foot, he could at least lessen the burden that he was carrying with this particular technique.
