The Martial Unity

POW POW POW

Rui just barely managed to dispel the impact of three incredibly swift and powerful blows.

RUMBLE

The sheer might of two Martial Squires permeated across the land as a fierce maelstrom of pressure radiated from the two focused Martial Squires.

The two of them locked eyes before lashing out at each other once more.

Two weeks had passed since Rui consumed the Bentein Blood potion. He had received a significant boost to his combat prowess. In order to acquire the degree of control and accuracy over his body and movements that he had prior to the administration of the potion, he had commissioned a grade-five Martial Squire to serve as a combat training partner.

He wanted someone about as strong, or perhaps even stronger than himself to put a lot of pressure on himself to whip him into shape.

What he didn't fully comprehend was how strong a grade-five Martial Squire was.

In hindsight, Rui should have heeded Senior Ceeran's words regarding the size of the Squire Realm and the significant difference between grades of Martial Artists in the Squire Realm.

However, it was difficult to appreciate something one hadn't seen yet.

This was part of the reason he had commissioned a grade-five Martial Squire in the first place; curiosity.

Well, he got what he wanted.

His opponent was Squire Jamil, a man who had been in the Squire realm for nearly a decade, and he was not someone to be trifled with.
