The Martial Unity

One of the ways that the Kaddar Region could make life harder for the Floating Sect was by greatly reducing the number of initiates and reinforcements they gained from Martial Squires interested in training under the special circumstances of the floating Ajanta Island.

Rui hadn't received any information on this matter, however, he keenly analyzed the circumstances of the Kaddar nations and evaluated the probability of the nations taking measures to prevent more Martial Artists from joining the Floating Sect to be quite high.

"In other words, the test to join the Floating Sect probably begins even before we enter the island," Rui murmured.

From patrolling Martial Squires to long-range Squire-level artillery weapons poised to shoot down any floating figure that was ascending to the island, Rui could easily gain a good grasp of what they were dealing with.

What amused Rui, even more, was that he highly doubted that the Floating Sect was particularly irked about it either. In fact, there was a good chance that they welcomed it. After all, the Martial Squires who were unable to get past a patrol, or were too scared to even try were simply not material for the Floating Sect. They would never be able to become a member of the Floating Sect even if they did everything in their meager power.

It made their lives easier because it probably reduced the number of challenges they got at any given time, making managing challenges to be easy.

However, it was not enough to stop Rui and Kane, not even close.

"It's time to use Void Step once more," Rui remarked, turning to Kane.

"Easy peasy," He smirked.

He put his hand on Rui's shoulder as he breathed deeply, activating the technique. Rui couldn't help but marvel at the technique each time he saw it. As amazing as Kane's Fulminata technique was, his Void Step technique was what was truly sublime in Rui's opinion. It could essentially erase them from everybody's eyes and did not have a limit to the number of people it could affect either.

Since Kane wasn't actively manipulating people's minds, he was misdirecting their attention with his movements in the opposite direction of the direction that they were traveling, making people who saw it completely miss him subconsciously.
