The Martial Unity

Chapter 1986 Combined Training

After all, it would take an extra amount of effort to shield himself from his own environment, which would only make the difficulty of passively constructing these domains that much more difficult. It would have been ideal if his body was highly resistant to these conditions naturally.

Unfortunately, he hadn't engaged in too much body conditioning. After becoming a Squire, the only time he had was when he mastered Adamant Reforging, which was strong but a general boost to his durability and could not handle too much of a particular given environment.

"Do I really have to spend an additional year or two conditioning myself to handle the heat and cold without letting it affect my combat ability?"

Rui found the idea unpleasant.

He did not want to extend his time in this place beyond the stipulated two years, if possible. He also didn't like the idea of conditioning himself. The reason for that was that conditioning was inherently inflexible, which was incompatible with the concept of adaptively evolving. It also didn't work spectacularly with his systems of thought.

Unlike Flux Earther, which grew vastly stronger after he formed his predictive and SOUL models, conditioning was static.

Unfortunately, he also recognized that he needed it. Active defenses like Flux Earther and Inner Divergence had multiple points of failure and an extremely high threshold of mental engagement to be effective. In other words, making the wrong decision could reduce active defenses to zero, leading to death.

Static and passive defenses were much more reliable. No matter what decision the user made, they would always be reliable and did not require a high amount of mental engagement to function as always.

Rui's rationality refused to allow him to ignore the massive benefits of static and passive defenses.

"Damn," he cursed under his breath. "Do I really have to subject myself to conditioning? I don't even have the specialized training environments of the Martial Union--!"
