The Martial Unity

Given that Rui had resolved to clear that floor, he had inadvertently put himself at odds with an extraordinarily powerful creature. Even if the Root of the Dungeon was not quite on par with Martial Seniors, it was still extraordinarily powerful and beyond the limits of the Squire Realm.

Rui already knew that if he simply tossed himself in front of it, he would get smashed like a bug.

Yet, he intended to confront it.

He would rather the latter occur without the former. The only way for that to happen was to grow stronger.

Which meant that it was time for another training phase.

It had been three months since the last training phase that he had undergone to prepare for the Shionel Dungeon. The techniques that he come up with back then had resulted in him dominating the Shionel Dungeon extremely thoroughly, upending the stable deadlock that had existed prior, and uniting a ton of people who would very much like to see him dead as a result.

Rui had confidence in his ability to craft techniques that would allow him to be capable of insane feats. He had strong reason to be confident with his scientific martial arts background, as well as a proven track record of developing highly effective techniques that were game-changing, be it the Hungry Pain technique that fundamentally strengthened the Squire Realm and made them significantly stronger from the very start which was one of the reasons that he was strong despite only having spent less than four years in the Squire realm.
