The Martial Unity

The training sessions went smoothly, due to the fact that he already knew how they went. Of course, there were varying degrees of difficulty. The easiest among them was the Adamant Reforging technique. His tolerance of pain had risen tremendously thanks due to the breakthrough to the Squire Realm. The sheer amount of agony and suffering the procedure put him through was shocking.

The pain hadn't reduced, but his tolerance of it was high enough that the training phase for the Adamant Reforging training technique was both easy and simple.

The more difficult techniques were the techniques that had the highest demand for accuracy and precision. The most difficult of them all was the Phantom Step technique which required extremely accurate and precise timing and placements.

The Phantom Step technique allowed extremely convincing feints that were so effective that the target of the technique momentarily experienced a brief illusion of the projected motion of the feint. This involved actually beginning the motion but freezing it at just the right moment for the feint to be convincing enough.

It was the most mentally challenging training phase of them all.

However, it was only a matter of time before he mastered it.

And as enough time passed, he did.

Half a year later, Rui had completed his training.
