The Martial Unity

Chapter 920

The feeling of the prototypical preliminary application of the Forestep project was quite strange, to say the least.

Rui did not expect it to feel in any particular way, but it was jarring when he did use it. It was as though he was manipulating his own body like it was a puppet.

When he used Godspeed with ordinary combat movements, he couldn't react to his own movements. It was extremely difficult to control his speed and stop his movements in time. He basically needed to plan every movement out ahead of time carefully, and then start and stop it at the right time relying purely on highly prepared reflexes.

"WOAH!"

BANG!

He had crashed into a boulder when he had mastered the forty percent of the Godspeed technique.

"I told you, you can't react to it if you wait for the right moment, it happens too quickly. You don't know what the right moment is, either," Kane had told him months ago when he had tried applying the Godspeed boost to his combat movements.

It wasn't until the present day when Rui challenged him to a spar did he realize how wrong he was.

"Come, I have more tests to run," Rui smiled.

Kane got up with a bewildered expression. "You said… you were using only one technique?"

"That's right," Rui nodded. "Preliminary applications of Project Forestep are highly optimistic. It seems that the substitution of reaction speed with predictions of my Flowing Void Style is feasible, upon initial observations."

Kane's eyes widened at those words. "You're managing timings that you cannot react to by predicting them ahead of time!"
