The Martial Unity

"You got challenged already?" Kane frowned. "By an initiate?"

"No, actually..." Rui sighed.

He went on to narrate what happened to Kane.

"That's weird," Kane concluded.

"It is," Rui nodded. "But the duel is in three days. It is what it is. They didn't see me fight, so honestly, they probably know very little about me barring what they can learn from second-hand accounts."

"What was the Martial Path of the one that challenged you?" Kane asked. He knew that Rui was freakishly good at estimating the Martial Paths of Martial Artists just by studying their bodies.

After all, the Martial body was designed to be compatible with the Martial Path. Based on that Rui could infer what the Martial Path was to a certain degree of precision.

"The muscles of his legs were disproportionately larger and stronger than those of the rest of the body. I'm guessing power-oriented Martial Artist that uses Martial Art techniques that are centered around drawing power from his legs. Given that the rest of his body was a lot leaner, I'm guessing that he will most certainly be a mobile fighter." Rui guessed.

"Hm, sounds like you'll be fine," Kane noted. "Was he strong?"

"Sure," Rui shrugged.

There wasn't a single Martial Artist in the Floating Sect that was weak, and those three goons were no different. They were strong for having beaten a guardian to get their spot, and strong for having maintained their chambers for however long they did.

Still, Rui had not experienced too much pressure from them. That probably meant that they were not too strong for him to defeat.

"What about the Martial Art of the other two?"
