The Martial Unity

The two of them spoke together the entire day before eventually splitting paths. Kane was definitely going to grow quite busy with offers from various parties and entities in the Kandrian Empire. While Rui's refusal to accept such deals, to the point of not even being willing to shackle himself to a sect, was well-known around the nation, Kane was not nearly as closed off to accepting such offers from patrons.

He would definitely grow quite busy in the coming weeks. Of course, Rui didn't intend to intervene; they were both fully grown adults who could handle their own business. Rui was glad that he didn't hear any suspicions about him being related to Kane's breakthrough in the news when he occasionally interacted with members of the Martial Community that he was acquainted with.

Of course, it would be rather bizarre for anybody to suspect him, considering Kane broke through in the Beast Domain while Rui was clearly here in the Kandrian Empire the entire time.

In the meantime, he continued to work on the four domain technique projects that he had come up with since then. Each of them challenged him in unique ways as he indulged in the thrill of figuring out their challenges and hurdles.

As he worked on the necessary mechanisms and the technique framework and blueprint, he gained a better idea of what they would look like when he was done, as well as their potential impact on combat.

He was pleased to discover that investing his upgraded breathing power into domains was definitely worth the investment with the sheer ROI that he was getting.

There was no better way to apply his breathing towards adaptive evolution, generally speaking, than to employ it to bend heaven to antithetically counter his opponent. It was the best way to go even further down his Martial Path. The second best option was employing different breathing techniques to augment different parameters of the body, as Ian Nepomniachtchi did with Fire Breathing, Lightning Breathing, and Earth Breathing.
