The Martial Unity

1945 Limits

One of the VOID algorithm's biggest shortcomings was its incompatibility with Gaia's supernatural and esoteric reality. Of course, Rui had made a lot of progress with it over the years, but he had never found a solution for adapting to beasts.

The pattern recognition system worked by choosing the most optimal and perfect counter to an opponent's predicted movement according to the predictive model. It was the adaptive evolution model that told Rui what the most optimal counter was.

Although it sounded fancy, the adaptive evolution model was just an enormous table with two rows. It contained the solution to all predicted movements.

If Rui predicted that his opponent was going to throw a hook punch, then he would look at the table and find the corresponding most optimal counter.

Hook punch -> Forward-stepping straight punch.

These were created in his previous life after countless experiments to determine the best counter to each attack, maneuver, and defense.

It was optimized for regular humans.

As Rui became a Martial Artist and kept growing stronger, he gradually stopped relying on it because it became increasingly irrelevant and invalid against the supernatural Martial Art of this world.

He was forced to rely on instinct and experience, which he continuously gained more of over the years. Yet, he managed as his intuition was forged in the crucible of combat, allowing him to replicate, through experience, what was previously done by the adaptive evolution model.

It was a good replacement for the adaptive evolution model against other Martial Artists.
