The collision of energies sent shockwaves through the dojo. Wooden panels cracked and training equipment scattered across the floor. For a moment, Julian and Kenji remained locked together, their fists pressed against each other in a contest of pure power.
Then Julian's superior strength asserted itself. His Form Intention Fist technique overwhelmed Kenji's Iron Fist Breaking Mountain, and the scarred challenger was sent flying across the room. He crashed through a wooden partition and landed in a heap among broken boards.
"Impossible," one of Kenji's disciples gasped. "Master Tanaka's ultimate technique failed."
Julian stood calmly in the center of the destruction, not even breathing hard. His aura pulsed with controlled power, demonstrating the vast difference between a Grandmaster and a lesser martial artist.
"It's over, Kenji," Julian announced. "You've lost again."
