The Martial Unity

Chapter 2056 Bypassed Prediction

While his first victory was technically his first battle against a Martial Master, Rui was not interested in counting that. It gave him absolutely no meaningful experience against other Martial Masters.

If anything, he almost wished he could request a rematch for the lower third against someone he could test himself against.

Alas, the contract specified that the results of these matches could not be undone.

With two victories in the bag, he had secured the second-best outcome for himself. Even if he lost the third match, he would only be subjected to a punishment where he would have to compensate for their losses with Martial contributions.

Frankly, this was not a bad outcome as far as he was concerned. Making contributions to the Martial Union did not consume extra time or energy since he would just be sharing things that he had already worked on in the past.

He closed his eyes as he absorbed the experience of his first Master-level battle. His opponent was undoubtedly strong. It didn't seem as though she had a particularly low compatibility against him. She had managed to push back even after he developed a predictive model on her with the VOID algorithm and the Angel of Laplace. Additionally, she managed to neutralize the battle even after he shifted the battle to a long-range one against her using the Void Pathfinder technique, despite being shackled with Breathing Crucifix.

It took a combination of Hypertrophic Surge and Yggdrasil System to put her down for good. It was a good battle where he was forced to fight seriously, which was enough to win the battle.

'…I can't say for sure because she might be less compatible with me than others in her grade, but I suspect that I am at least grade nineteen,' Rui mused to himself.

"We have reached the third duel."

Sage Sayfeel's raspy voice drew his attention.

"Your final opponent will be…" Sage Sayfeel narrowed his eyes. "…Master Grais of the Lightning Sect."

An elderly Martial Master arrived at the battlefield, garbed in the Martial attire featuring the Lightning Sect's crest.

Just his sect and Body told Rui everything he needed to know about the man.

"Master Rui…" The elderly Martial Master gazed at him with a disapproving expression. "I will not hold back against you."

Rui shook his head. "I wouldn't want it any other way."
