The Martial Unity

Rui had to admit, he had found her Martial Art interesting when he read up on the intelligence on Senior Fern that the Beggar's Sect had provided him.

The Chanting Sword Style was an offensive Martial Art that relied on the blade to produce a sharp piercing sound that struck the target with sharp focused pressure. By relying on a breathing technique, she altered the density of air in the trajectory of her blade in such a way it generated a two-dimensional sound wave.

It was a Martial Art that could generate long-range attacks despite requiring a sword. A fascinating concept that he had only seen once before.

Yet also nothing he couldn't overcome.

He was unable to assassinate her with ease because the Carnil Mafia had gone as far as to supply all Martial Seniors with potions that could allow them to keep their Martial Heart active for extensive period of time, allowing them to maintain Senior-level defenses at all times.

Thus he could not crush them, merely inflict damage with an initial ambush. After that, it was pure head-on combat. The battle had proceeded more or less exactly how he expected. Breathing Crucifix massively reduced her offensive lethality, neutering a grade-eleven Martial Senior, one who was only two grades away from being high-grade.

Although it was a shame he was unable to maintain the Greater Phantomind Void while being physically suppressed with lethal attacks due to the fact that needing to heavily defend his life altered his non-verbal communication, he had already been resigned to this fact.

Kane's Void Step also suffered from a similar problem, if he was hit with an attack, then the misdirection was completely undone. They had almost gotten caught by Deacon Industries much earlier in the Shionel Dungeon due to this when Kane had gotten hit with a powerful shockwave.

However, it didn't matter all that much to the outcome of the attack since he would need to put it aside when using the VOID algorithm in the first place. Breathing Crucifix along with the elementary predictive model he had already created was more than enough to grant him dominance.

There were only two things that caught him off-guard.
