The Martial Unity

This was the first time he had come across a Martial Path that seemed to have as much depth as his own, it was astonishing.

Every Martial Squire he fought, he fought on their own turf. It wasn't too long after the initial clash that he would be replicating their stance, their form, their techniques, and eventually their entire Martial Art!

It was unfortunate that Rui could not focus on the man, after all, he had a war to participate in himself. He could only catch glances at the man, and that was why he only had a few details about how the man fought. However, based on the few glances here and there, Rui saw his fighting style continued to become closer and closer to that of his opponent. And sure enough, he went on to surpass him.

Rui didn't quite understand how the mechanics worked due to now being able to observe him in detail.

Regardless, whatever he was doing, worked.

Martial Squires fell left and right, so much so that he singlehandedly was causing the attacking army to incur unsustainable losses.

Rui had to admire his stamina as well, for being able to maintain such a potent Martial Art for that long. One thing that Rui was quite curious about was the mechanics of how he not only copied a Martial Art but also somehow made it stronger.

However, in order to be able to mimic any Martial Art, there were several conditions that he needed to be able to fulfill.

('For one, he needs to have the building blocks to be able to recreate Martial Art of any kind,')

This made sense. A Martial Art was made up of techniques, training, and principles; systems of movements, and processes that embody the Martial Path of the Martial Artist. He could not replicate the Martial Path without them.
