The Martial Unity

He had complete faith in Rui winning his fight. After seeing how strong Rui had become, he had almost no doubt that Rui was the strongest Martial Apprentice in the modern era. Furthermore, he knew Rui would not have appreciated his intervention.

It was impossible to confine a large number of Martial Apprentice battles over a small volume of space. It was too dangerous for each one of them, and a single attack from their blind spot could critically injure or kill them, and none of them were willing to take that risk.

Thus, the battle had spread out over a large area.

"Hard to say when there's so much happening," Kane replied. "Anyways, let's return to the battle immediately."

"Sure thing."

The two immediately dashed back.

('Evasive maneuverer. But not nearly as good as Kane.') Rui mused.

BAM!

Rui managed to land a strike on him after faking him out with Phantom Step. His opponent grimaced, struggling to endure even a single attack. Defense wasn't his strong suit, clearly.

He tried retreating, being painfully aware that he couldn't defeat Rui. Yet Rui had no intention of letting him go.
