The Martial Unity

If he wanted to rack up some merits, it was probably best to undertake a mission that would allow him to accrue as much of a contribution so that he could train with the Martial Seniors for longer and perhaps received greater tutelage from them.

He hadn't yet entirely figured out what the ultimate trigger for the Senior Realm truly was, unfortunately, he was working with too much speculation, unfortunately, to make reliable deductions.

That was why he tossed aside more mundane missions like the ones Kane and his new-found acquaintances had chosen. The merits that they would get from such a mission were little.

('Then again, the Floating Sect does not have an objective system of merits,') Rui mused. ('It doesn't even have an internal currency despite being so isolated from the rest of the world economically.')

The island was remarkably self-sufficient, however, it wasn't complex enough to warrant its own currency. After all, although Ajanta Island was a small city in and of itself, it didn't always feel that way because of how low the population was.

The chambers were huge structures hundreds of meters in length and breadth.

They needed to be, in order to accommodate Martial Squires of all ranges, and fit in the training environments and machines for all kinds of Martial Paths and Art.

If there were just a handful or several of them, it actually would not be a big deal. But there were one thousand and three such structures, and the amount of area that went towards them was huge. The actual number of people residing on the island was disproportionately lower than what you would expect from a place of the size of the island.

Furthermore, with no open market of any sort, it was possible to manage without something as troublesome as a currency.
