The Martial Unity

"There are solid advantages to symbiotic Martial Art." Fernan explained. "For one, it's easier to master powerful techniques once you obtain basic mastery of the symbiote."

Rui raised an eyebrow at those words, waiting for him to continue.

"There are symbiotic techniques with grade-ten potency but only grade-nine or sometimes even grade-eight difficulty!" He said, grinning smugly.

Rui's eyes widened at those words. Grade-ten potency techniques like God Speed, Void Step, All-Seeing Eye and Heart Permeation were all extraordinarily potent techniques with extraordinary difficulty. They could not be mastered without extreme talent, high affinity and immense amount effort. All of the grade-ten potency techniques that Rui had come across in the Apprentice library also had grade-ten difficulty. All grade-ten techniques were grade-ten in both power and difficulty

However, Fernan just told him that it was possible to obtain grade-ten potency techniques with lower difficult grades in symbiosis Martial Art!

Meaning it was possible to obtain that absurd power with significantly lower difficulty.

"That's... impressive." Rui admitted.

"Indeed." Fernan replied. "There're also other advantages like a greater diversity of utility. Surpassing your biological limits gives you options to do things that would be unfathomable otherwise."

Rui nodded. Flying with wings was one of them. He wondered how fast Fernan would become if he ever became a Squire, Martial Squires had all reached a level where they could propel themselves by simply stepping on air. Surely someone with wings would be able to do far more.

These two advantages alone were worth looking into symbiosis Martial Art when he had the time.
