The Martial Unity

Chapter 2028 Adaptive Evolution

This had been one of the reasons that Headmaster Aronian had paid a lot of attention to Rui at a young age. While the Squire teachers were unaware of Rui's capacity and application of thought or its significance in the grand scheme of Martial Art, Headmaster Aronian had understood how incredible it was.

"With a thought technique that is of affordable difficulty with enough of a value proposition to be worth it, available for all Realms, your voidlet techniques have become the sole gateway to gaining some proficiency with thoughtful decision-making," Sage Sayfeel informed Rui appreciatively. "Martial Artists across the Lower Realms have begun mastering it. Ironically enough, the ones to master it the most are Apprentices and Seniors, with Squires being the least to master it."

"Seniors, too…?" Rui grew immersed in thought. "And the rate of progress to the Master Realm?"

"It is difficult to gauge general broad progress," Sage Sayfeel noted. "However, the Martial Union has gained an additional Martial Master after a grade-fourteen Martial Senior broke through a few years after mastering your offensive voidlet technique and then customizing it and individualizing it to her needs with the progress that she had already made prior. She, too, credits you as a reason for her breakthrough to the Master Realm."

Sage Sayfeel didn't miss Rui's demeanor thawing and lighting up whenever the topics came to Martial Art and his Martial Art. While his nominal demeanor had grown impassive and frosty, it appeared that Martial Art returned him to who he once was.

He had no idea what had happened to the Void Prince for such a drastic change in his temperament and demeanor to occur, but nonetheless, there was hope that things would return to normal.

"So it does indeed appear to increase the probability of breakthrough to the Master Realm, then," Rui remarked, engrossed in the matter. "That's good to know; perhaps I ought to expand the number for voidlet techniques wider. My only issue is that a lot of my systems of thought come to the service of Adaptive Evolution. That could potentially disrupt the Martial Paths of other Martial Artists."

Sayfeel stirred at Rui's words. "Your Highness, you mean to say that they
