The Martial Unity

Chapter 2029 Bigger Than Him

Although it was true that he had absolutely no exposure to other Martial Minds to possibly arrive at the conclusion himself, it made sense when he thought about it. Still, he had qualms about the grandeur that Sage Sayfeel subscribed to him.

Although it was flattering, it also vaguely felt like Sage Sayfeel was giving him a bit too much credit.

"…Your statement regarding Martial Minds embodying Adaptive Evolution is only true if we define Adaptive Evolution extremely broadly." Rui realized. "It works only if you broadly define Adaptive Evolution, in the context of Martial Minds, as any thought processes that change one's decision-making based on information about one's opponent to maximize the probability of victory against said opponent."

"That is indeed true." Sage Sayfeel confirmed.

"…If that's the case, then such a broad conceptualization of 'Adaptive Evolution' applies to many, many things far beyond me," Rui insisted. "It encompasses all Martial Minds and perhaps even all Martial Art to a minor degree by such a broad definition. My Martial Mind and Martial Art are just a minute iota of everything that would fall under such a broad definition."

"That is also true." Sage Sayfeel calmly concurred.

"…Then it means that Martial Minds do not embody my Martial Path, specifically. My Martial Mind is merely one of many that also embody Adaptive Evolution."

It was a bit of a humbling realization.

Approval flashed in Sage Sayfeel's eyes. "You possess wisdom beyond your years. I had expected my revelation to inflate your ego and sense of self-importance, but you correctly understood that your Martial Art does not encompass Adaptive Evolution, but Adaptive Evolution encompasses your Martial Art. It encompasses your Martial Mind among all others. It is bigger than you."

Rui nodded. "…I don't come across Adaptive Evolution all that much on a day-to-day basis. Though there have been instances where I have been truly blown out of the water by entities that embodied elements of it far better than I could ever hope to."
