The Martial Unity

In the brief time that Rui had spent here, he had already spotted patterns of traits in the behavioral psychology of those indoctrinated by the Virodhabhasa Faith. This allowed him to develop models that predicted not only whether someone was indoctrinated by the faith, but also allowed him to predict to what degree they were indoctrinated.

This was partially based on the same principles of the predictive model of the VOID algorithm, thus he was able to effortlessly execute it even though it had been the first time that he had done this.

Of course, the accuracy and precision left much to be desired, and it was not flawless. But it worked well enough.

Although he wasn't super confident about how effectively he would be able to read Martial Artists that had ascended to the Higher Realms, it appeared that at the very least, he could tell when a Martial Master wasn't the most devoted subject of a faith.

"You're not entirely wrong," The man grinned. "I am not the most loyal follower. It's not that I denounce the faith or anything that extreme, it's just that I've come to be more agnostic about it. I'm open to anything, and it helps that I do not reject the Divine Revelation."

He shrugged nonchalantly as if that wasn't a big deal.

Rui furrowed his eyebrows. He was confused. How could someone who wasn't even a believer in the faith come to become a bishop in the religious organization? How did someone even become part of the religion, let alone ascend to such a high-level position?

"Surprised, are you?" The man smirked, amused. "It's because the allure of the power of a Martial Master is just that high, young man. Not even a religion as large and powerful as the Virodhabhasa Faith can reject the might of a Martial Artist who has transcended the Lower Realms."

Rui furrowed his eyebrows.
