The Martial Unity

A little over four months passed by quickly. Time was often a blur to those who had immersed themselves in training. Especially to someone like Rui, who truly lost track of day and night thanks to his relentless training and immersion. Furthermore, his tolerance of potions made it even more difficult to keep track since he didn't have daily sleep cycles.

Rui launched a tremendous attack at Kane. The sheer force the attack contained blasted the air in its path apart, causing abrupt gusts of wind. The Outer Convergence technique once mastered had fundamentally upgraded his offensive force to a higher level.

WHOOSH

Kane evaded the attack, swerving to Rui's open side almost instantaneously.

POW

He managed a get in a solid jab before Rui could guard, and leapt back unsatisfied. The jab had done nothing, it hadn't even fazed Rui.

"Tsk." Kane tutted.

Rui took the initiative to charge in, chasing after Kane, trying to cut off as much room for escape as he could. One disadvantage that evasive maneuverer fighters had was that they needed space, they were crippled significantly if they were boxed in a small space.

Still, this was not an easy strategy against someone like Kane, who had enough speed and mobility to bypass Rui's attempts to block him.
