The Martial Unity

Sky-walking was much slower than traveling on land for many reasons. The human body was anatomically evolved to travel on land, this fundamentally meant that they would travel through land faster than through any other means or medium.

This remained true even for Martial Squires even if their Martial bodies were evolved past humanity. Most Martial Squires retained the basic anatomy of human beings. The shape of the body, the number of limbs, bones, muscles, and the locations of these body parts maintained at least a resemblance with baseline human beings.

This meant that most Martial Squires also inherited humanity's inclination towards travel through land via their legs.

It couldn't be helped, every Martial Squire was once an ordinary human. Their entire Martial Art in the Apprentice Realm was centered around the human being that they were anatomically, then their Martial Body in the Squire Realm was optimized to cater to their Martial Art and their Martial Path.

This necessarily meant that the Martial Body could not be too diverged, evolutionarily speaking, from baseline humanity. Rui could not even imagine what kind of warped Martial Path would require such a thing to occur.

On top of that, based on the analytical and summary reports on the breakthrough to the Squire Realm gained from the research of the secret research facility in the Commonwealth Duchy of Vinfrana that Julian had prepared for him long when he was in the Apprentice Realm, Rui knew that it was impossible for the Martial Body to diverge too much from baseline humanity.

The breakthrough to the Squire Realm was an enhancement of the human body's specs the configuration of which was suited to the Martial Art of the Martial Apprentice in question.
