The Martial Unity

('Last time, against the Root, I was able to compensate for lacking reaction time against the Root with the VOID algorithm instead of trying to create a technique that improved my effective reaction and reflex time,') Rui mused. ('Maybe I should attempt the latter this time.')

The issue was that this too was an extremely ambitious project as well. Improving reaction time was one of the holy grails of Lightning Sect. Even for him, this was not something that could be done immediately.

('If push comes to shove, I'll create techniques that allow me to sense on a quantum level and techniques that improve my reaction time somehow,') He sighed. ('But is that really the only two paths forward? Is there no other simpler and easier solution that would allow me to overcome this obstacle easily?')

He reviewed everything he knew about lightning. An immense amount of charge is built up in a cloud with the excess electrons accumulating at the bottom of the cloud while positive charges migrate away to the upper portion of the cloud.

This causes a positive charge to build up on the surface of the valley. Streams of electrons jump from the cloud reaching downwards, this negative streak was known as the step ladder. Simultaneously, streams of positive charges would emerge from the land moving upwards towards the sky, known as streamers.

Because streamers and step ladders were of opposite charges, they would be attracted to each other and meet midair, completing the circuit between the clouds and the land. An immense flow of current generating a lot of light and sound would occur from the cloud to the ground, that was the lightning bolt.

It was a phenomenon for which a lot of unseen precurring events preceded the lightning bolt.
