The Martial Unity

Thankfully, the training regimens for all of the techniques weren't all that different from the Apprentice-level versions of them.

Outer Convergence had three training stages, just like it did in the Apprentice-level version.

The first stage was some elementary form of training, that had the user go through a set of motions that involved all muscle groups simultaneously. These were intensive dynamic workouts that focused on priming the user's mind to get used to delicately coordinated muscle group expansion and contraction rhythms.

This was the very first step to eventually paving the way to converging the power generated by all those muscle groups, the end goal. There were a total of thirteen elaborate dynamic exercises in total. Which Rui noted was equal to the number of broad muscle groups in the human body.

The second stage of training was sparring with equipment that restricted the motion of certain muscle groups. The user would have to rely on muscle groups that would normally not be used to a high extent. Rui had instantly realized this was to ensure that the process of regularly and routinely drawing power from each muscle group would become part of muscle memory. The more rigorously trained each muscle group individually, the more smoothly and timely one would be able to use it.

This ensures that the body has all the energy it needs when accelerating at speed.
