The Martial Unity

Had a human been there to witness the battle, they would have seen absolutely nothing. The human eye was incapable of perceiving phenomena that happened in milliseconds. Had a Martial Apprentice witnessed the battle, they would have seen disconnected images flashing all about in an incoherent manner. Still, this was nothing unusual for Martial Apprentices, but they would have very little idea of what was going on.

However, a Martial Squire was different.

Only a Martial Squire would be able to fathom the sheer absurdity of the feat that Rui was accomplishing!

Despite the avalanche of roots. Despite the sheer power and speed of each individual root. Despite the sensory suppression of Shionel Dungeon.

Despite everything that aimed to end his life, he did not fall!

Each root was powerful enough to engage even grade-ten Martial Squires. Fighting even a single one of them was something that required power amassed across one's entire life, it required power close to the limit of what Martial Squires could achieve!

Yet here was a twenty-year-old young man, one who hadn't even spent more than half a decade in the Squire Realm, taking on countless roots simultaneously!

In the span of a single millisecond, he spun through the air, somersaulting over overhead crashes, sidestepping root jabs, and bouncing off of powerful root swings. The roots moved at speeds that beggared the mind, shredding the atmosphere with each movement. Every motion left behind numerous shockwaves that made even breathing impossible! Every attack ignited the very air!

for the fact that Rui had already conditioned his lungs to be able to withstand extreme temperatures, he might very well have died after
