The Martial Unity

Chapter 2057 I Can See Your SOUL

"…Who do you think will win?" Master Vericita asked with concern. "Rui is strong, but Master Grais is certainly no slouch, he's just one grade away from becoming a high-grade Martial Master."

"…It's difficult to say." Master Zentra narrowed his eyes, observing the battle. "His Martial Mind is quite powerful and refined. His Highness has probably never faced an opponent with a system of thought as powerful as this."

"His Shadow Transmission system of thought is as fearsome as ever." Headmaster Aronian heaved a sigh. "In addition, his ability to convert speed into offensive power is even better than I recalled."

Master Reina's eyes lit up with vague interest as an insight dawned on her. "…Stealth."

The other Martial Masters of the pro-Rui faction gazed at her warily. "He's using stealth," Master Reina remarked with curiosity. "He's hiding the telltale signs of his future movements with a momentary, abrupt, and transient burst of stealth. He adaptively evolves the timing and sensory-orientation of the stealth to match his opponent's senses and awareness for the greatest effect. Tsk, why didn't I think of that?"

Master Zentra nodded tentatively. "…I am not surprised that you have managed to see through it as an exceptional master assassin. That is the secret behind the Shadow Transmission system of thought."

All sentient beings engaged in extrapolative analysis subconsciously and consciously. Science had shown that interpreting the telltale signs that preceded movements to gauge timing was something that was ingrained in the very neurology of sentient creatures.

This was exactly what Master Grais had sought to undermine when he created the Shadow Transmission system of thought. He employed a very brief and limited momentary burst of stealth to hide all the telltale signs of his movements which disrupted all extrapolative cognition of those that observed him.

This had an extraordinarily high synergetic effect when combined with his blinding speed.

Those who observed him would see a single thing.

A Martial Master disappearing through space and time.

He was beyond comprehension.
