The Martial Unity

"Master Ceeran, can you tell me about the Kandrian Martial Master of domain techniques?" Rui asked.

"Hm? Ah, Master Gurren," Ceeran nodded. "I don't know too much about him, personally. I do know that he lives in South-West Kandria on a mountain in the Great Jravian mountain range, though it is said that he keeps moving around the vast mountain range to keep people from approaching him. If you're interested in speaking to him, you will have to find him yourself."

"Oof," Rui winced. "That's rough."

The Great Jravian mountain range was called 'great' because of its enormous vast expanse extending thousands of kilometers across any direction. If Rui was going to have to find a single Martial Master across this expanse of mountains, he was going to have to scour every ounce of the entire region with his senses.

Also, if the Martial Master did not want to meet him, then Rui highly doubted he would be able to find him.

"I'll have to get it a shot nonetheless," Rui heaved a sigh.

"Are you interested in domain techniques?" Master Ceeran asked, curious. "That's a little unexpected, domain techniques aren't known to be the most flexible techniques, which I thought would not gel well with your Martial Path."

Rui shook his head. "Domain techniques give me the opportunity to adapt another element of combat to my opponent. The environment. The environment is just as important in a fight as the fighters themselves. If I can adapt the environment to my opponent, then I will have achieved a higher level of adaptive evolution than was previously possible."

Ceeran's eyebrows rose. "I see, that is truly ambitious. I foresee an enormous growth in your power should you
