The Martial Unity

Chapter 2053 Commencement

When Rui arrived, the Masters of the Martial Union would not have thought he was about to fight life-changing duels if they didn't know better. While most other Martial Artists in his position would be deeply stressed about winning the duel for not wanting to suffer a horrible fate, he arrived at Daracol with an enthusiastic smile on his face.

The number of Martial Masters that had chosen to bear witness to his duels was not low.

While not every Martial Master could make it, he had undoubtedly broken a sort of record for the sheer number of Martial Masters that had made the time to be able to witness the power of the most extraordinary Martial Artist that they had ever seen. STEP

When he arrived at the designated battlefield in Daracol, the many gathered Martial Masters were already waiting outside the enormous battlefield that stretched hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

Such a distance was nothing for their powerful senses.

Yet, Rui did not direct his attention to the many friends he had among them.

No.

Within the battlefield, he found himself staring at a single person.

A single being.

"Sage Lemolen," Rui bowed his head in respect to the powerful Martial Sage that stood before him. Clad in dark, black attire and a hood over his head, the man stuck out like a sore thumb. Rui had never seen a Martial Sage control their aura as well as Sage Lemolen did. It was as though the man was not even a Martial Artist at all.

He couldn't detect the heavy aura that was characteristic of Martial Sages. He couldn't detect their usual influence on the environment.

"Master Rui…" A raspy whisper escaped him as his eyes narrowed. "Are you prepared?"

The Martial Sage pinned Rui with a powerful gaze and visible displeasure in his eyes.

"Of course, Your Sagehood."

"I will be the arbiter of your duel. I shall ensure the battle is carried out in accordance with the rules of the battle while also ensuring that it is shielded from unauthorized surveillance. We cannot have the strategic intelligence of our Martial Masters leaked to the outside world."

His declaration was not light.

"I'm honored, Your Sagehood."
