The Martial Unity

Rui's emotions fluctuated immensely throughout the entire battle. When Senior Ceeran and the matriarch of the K'ulnen Tribe began showing their true strength at the start fight, he had been shocked by the true capabilities of both Martial Artists. Not only was their raw prowess incredible, but their techniques were very interesting as well.

The matriarch employed the same principles that rockets did to achieve extreme acceleration. Except unlike rockets, she could apply that speed in all avenues in combat while rockets accelerated in linear motion exclusively.

This allowed her to dart across the battlefield at blinding speeds. Frankly, if not for the giant infernos she left behind with every step, Rui would have had absolutely no chance of tracing her movements and trajectories.

However, while her technique was a novel and extreme application of Newton's third law of motion, it was elementary at heart. Senior Ceeran's techniques thus far held far more of his interest than hers. Senior Ceeran employed the tendency of the gaseous particles to move from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas.

('It's an advanced application of the Pauli Exclusion Principle,') Rui noted.

The Pauli Exclusion was a principle of quantum electrodynamics that stated no two electrons of an atom or molecule could have the same quantum numbers and states. In a general context, the principle stated that two particles could not have the same positions and velocities, and the closer one of the two parameters was, the greater the difference in the other parameter.
