The Martial Unity

"How are you going to win if there are only the three of you?" Kane asked out of the blue. It was a refreshingly straightforward question.

"We have our ways," Senior Leonil snorted, knitting his eyebrows. "The numerical advantage is indeed insurmountable had we been fighting outside of Ajanta Island, but there is a reason that the three of us have dedicated many years to the sect atop this island."

Rui remained silent, but he already knew what he was referring to. He knew that of the three of them, Senior Xanarn had a Martial Art centered around sound and had inferred that one of the other two had a Martial Art centered around breathing techniques.

Their Martial Art greatly benefited from the environment, and he was certain that this was one of the reasons that they chose to reside on an island like Ajanta Island.

Otherwise, their decision to stick so strongly with Ajanta Island did not make much sense. Why would three Martial Artists spend so much time and energy on maintaining their stronghold over an isolated piece of land that floated in the sky, isolated from the rest of human civilization that could only be reached and survived by Martial Squires and above?

It made no sense unless the boost that their power got made it was vastly greater atop the island than on the ground.

He understood their motivations, but he did not feel the same way.

In a way, the three of them had essentially fallen into the same trap that Kane had been compelled to in the Thundering Valley. His newest technique greatly benefited from the environment of that place, so much so that even Kane felt tempted to never leave that place due to how powerful he felt there.

In there, not even Tokugawa Ieyasu would be able to take him down easily with how powerful the Fulminata technique was in that environment.
