The Martial Unity

This meant that the pattern recognition system of the VOID algorithm was also relevant to him timing of the healing technique. As long as he made sure that the energy and nutrients produced by autophagy were already in the bloodstream before the wound was inflicted.

While Rui was quite enlightened by his training and tests on his new technique, he was not content with such tame experiments.

('I want to test it out in a proper battle,')

That was the best way to test the effectiveness of any new technique. To actually apply it in combat, particularly against a strong foe. Other forms of testing were not necessarily bad, but real-life verification was most certainly the best way to go about things.

There was something else entirely about an opponent that actually struggled with everything they had to fight back that could not be replicated by testing in more controlled formats and environments.

However, in this case, it was a bit more tricky.

He needed the right opponent. If he just picked any opponent, he would not even use it against them because it was not the most optimal solution. He needed to find a guardian with a dominating lethal offense that was nearly difficult to avoid.

('Looks like I'm going to have to do some scouting.')

And so he did. However, it was not the way one would have expected him to. The Floating Sect did not publicize details surrounding the Martial Art of the various guardians. Thus Rui had only three ways to gain such information.

The first was through second-hand testimony from other guardians. He could ask around since many of them knew many of them for quite some time. The guardians at the bottom classes of the Floating Sect were generally in flux. Many came and many went.
