The Martial Unity

Chapter 2023 Recognized Change

As Rui surged towards the Kandrian Empire at top speed, his homesickness and nostalgia bubbled over.

He hadn't realized how much he longed to return to the Kandrian Empire.

He longed to put an end to all of this.

He was sick and tired of living on a timeline.

Pressure did indeed push him forward, but it took its toll and could be counter-productive when he didn't need it. Now that he had broken through to the Master Realm, he needed time to consolidate the many massive gains he had made in the past five years.

Additionally, as a person, he needed time to breathe.

Time to think.

He never got a chance to process many of the things that had happened. With less than four years to find the Divine Doctor, he postponed everything that didn't directly contribute to his Martial Art or the goal of finding the Divine Doctor for after the latter was completed.

Now that he was almost there, it was almost surreal, and his paranoia surged.

What if he hadn't managed to make it in time?

What if they were attacked by a random Martial Sage?

What if the Divine Doctor died for some reason or the other before he could heal his father?

They weren't exactly the most rational concerns, but now that Rui had gotten this close to their goal, he couldn't help but feel immense fear of everything that could go wrong at the last minute.

He surged through the Panama Continent at extraordinary speeds, ignoring the conventional wisdom not to waste power during travel. He lacked the patience to spend weeks traveling at a low speed painstakingly.

Much to his relief, they reached the Far eastern side of the Panama Continent without running into a hostile Martial Sage and without the Divine Doctor dying for inexplicable reasons.
