The Martial Unity

To Kane, the Void Forestep technique may have appeared to have been flawless, however, Rui knew that this was far from the truth. The truth was that this technique had several drawbacks and detriments.

For one, the only reason it worked so exceptionally well this time was that Rui had an extremely well-built predictive model of Kane, with excellent depth into both his active and passive patterns. This predictive model was built over the many years that Rui knew Kane. He had an immeasurable amount of exposure to Kane in all the time that he had known him.

It was unlikely that he would be able to replicate such an extremely well-developed predictive model for pretty much anyone else ever. Least of all the Root, to which he had the least amount of exposure.

That was why he did not take the performance that he had against Kane as the norm.

It was not.

It was quite likely that for any predictive model that he did end up building, he would not be able to replicate the level of prowess that he had just demonstrated against Kane.

('The biggest problem is that this can only be used after I form a predictive model,') Rui sighed. ('Until then, it's useless.')

That was also a rather severe restriction and limited the scope of the technique. That was a limitation that the original Godspeed technique did not suffer.

On top of that, this technique could not be used lightly.

Rui sighed as he glanced at his malnourished body, he felt as though he had lost precisely half his weight, which seemed like an absurd proposition.

('Martial bodies are denser than normal human bodies, that's why I can expel mass that isn't immediately substantial and still retain most of my complexion,') Rui glanced at his body, which looked the same as always.
