The Martial Unity

He had the rest of the day to relax and prepare for the main tournament. It was a tournament with three rounds, each round eliminating half of the contestants in four one-v-ones. The matchups of the rounds had not been decided ahead of time. This was probably to prevent any preparation on the part of the Martial Artists or their patrons. At the end of the day, it was preferable that the fights reflected their regular strength and capabilities.

Rui was actually quite impatient for the next round, unlike a lot of the contestants.

However, there was an entire half day before the next day arrived. He didn't feel the need to delve into any further optimization of his mind or body at this moment.

Instead, he consulted with Master Deivon over some matters that he was interested in.

"I had a feeling you would ask me about primordial seed and the abyssfeeder species," Master Deivon smirked, sitting opposite Rui. "It makes too much sense for you to be interested in it."

"Well?" Rui asked. "Can I get access to some research data on it?"

Rui considered asking for actual samples of the substance but ultimately decided against it. There was no point in asking for things that he simply was not ready for. It was better he at least started to understand the nature of what he was trying to meddle with so that when he decided to tackle the project of integrating primordial seed into his Metabody System, he would have a strong foundation.

"That's not too problematic," Master Deivon replied. "At least, as far as low-grade information is concerned."
