The Martial Unity

In general, Rui was sure that he was probably one of the few Martial Artists who could make progress in the Senior Realm with much less difficulty than his peers.

'Or at least, progress towards the Master Realm,' Rui mused. 'I can imagine other Martial Seniors rely on techniques bringing the best out of their Martial Body and, by extension, Heart because that is a much easier solution than developing the Martial Mind.'

Developing a system of thought that was so sophisticated and complex, yet pertinently accurate in its directives that it filled up an entire section of their brain that there was untapped potential?

An overwhelming Martial Seniors did not know where to start. The Martial Mind was an intellectual feat that was no different from long-term research and development projects conducted by scholars and researchers. Most Martial Seniors felt intimidated by the challenges that beset them in their journey to a higher Realm.

But not Rui. Of course, that did not mean he found it easy. He was very sober of the reality that his journey was much more difficult than the others. The only silver lining was the fact that he had made substantial progress with things like the VOID algorithm and the ODA System. Another boon was the greater ease with which he made progress.

These two facts allowed him to be more confident in the face of the particularly overwhelming challenges that only he was subject to.

'Alright, back to the topic,' Rui sighed. 'Ordinary hypnosis is more nuanced and delicate than the more monolithic misdirection that Master Reina taught me.'

With Master Reina's philosophy and application of mind, he simply needed to pour all his mind and effort into misdirecting attention away from him. However, Master Zeamer detested such a simplistic application of it.

Of course, he did not think one was right or wrong. Master Reina was an assassin, and every technique she developed was designed to be most efficient for assassinations. Mental techniques were extremely diverse, but she only cared about its applications in assassination and nothing else.
