The Martial Unity

This was one Rui's first serious spar after his training session ended. He was quite satisfied with his performance, though he still yearned to be stronger. The most recent techniques he had mastered

The mastery of Inner Divergence had bolstered his defense to the point that Kane couldn't even hurt him unless he went all out with his offense instead of his usual stinging jabs. Outer Convergence had increased his power to the point that fighting Rui head-on was a losing battle, Rui would always hurt and damage Kane faster than Kane could do take down Rui.

Seismic Mapping had gotten rid of his blind spots, he was able to track Kane's movements, maneuvering and position even when Kane escaped his peripheral vision quite accurately.

These three techniques successfully bolstered his foundation making him a solid Martial Apprentice even without the aid of the VOID algorithm.

Still, despite all that Kane was able to keep up with Rui despite all this. His speed, agility and maneuvering were always ridiculously high but after he learnt to maintain his top speed constantly, he had truly become incredibly difficult to deal with.

Furthermore, the tactic he had used to beat Kane this time was not a tactic that could be abused. If they fought a second time, Kane would not fall for the same trick, all he had to do was avoid a belligerent attack when Rui entered a closed defensive stance, and the battle would just end up being a stalemate.

In truth, Rui did possess a way to win even without the tactic he used.

The fourth technique he had learnt; Blink. His trump card.
