The Martial Unity

Rui had fully mastered the boost in physicality that he had received in the past two weeks under high-pressure combat, and both of them knew that this would be the last sparring session between them.

"Why do you say that?" Rui asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I've never seen someone as deviant as you, eh?" The man replied straightforwardly. "Your Martial Art, your techniques, and even your Martial body and your grade as a Martial Artist. They're all more than just a little confusing,"

Rui shrugged. "I have a high-grade Martial Art, and my body has received non-standard empowerment. That's all."

The man snorted, before shaking his head. "Your body is definitely strong, much stronger than I would expect of an eighteen-year-old Martial Squire who hasn't even spent two years in the Squire Realm. And the potion alone isn't enough to justify the difference."

Rui was surprised. The man had also noticed the boost in power that he gained thanks to the Mind Switch technique increasing his stamina beyond human limits, which he had then managed to sacrifice for greater physical parameters when he underwent the Squire evolution breakthrough procedure.

"Yet despite the fact that your body is stronger than someone who has only spent a year and a half in the Squire Realm, your body is actually weaker than what I would expect from a grade-four Martial Artist."

"Hm?" Rui couldn't help but frown. Despite the boosts that he had received, his body was weak for a grade-four Martial Artist?

"You are aware that Martial bodies grow stronger as time passes, correct?" The man asked, turning to Rui.
