The Martial Unity

Chapter 2058 Maximized Reaction

The battle shifted into the second phase as the cards had been laid out for both Martial Masters.

Even with the SOUL System at play, Rui found it difficult to actually land a blow on the Martial Master. He had succeeded in doing so the very first first time because he managed to cleanly catch Master Grais off guard due to over-committing.

However, the Martial Master was shockingly faster than he was.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

He effortlessly avoided Rui's attack, moving so fast that he was reduced to indistinguishable blurs in Rui's eyes. His Martial Body was far faster inherently, but even more shocking was the number of techniques this man used simultaneously!

'He's using almost two dozen techniques simultaneously.' Rui narrowed his eyes. 'It makes sense because the Martial Mind has expanded the cognitive limits to active techniques.'

In the Lower Realms, one generally could not use more than several active techniques simultaneously without compromising reaction time and awareness because too much of the mind's attention went into maintaining the techniques.

Yet, things changed in the Master Realm.

There was additional cognitive capital that allowed for even more active techniques simultaneously so long as they didn't directly conflict with each other.

Unfortunately, Rui didn't have such a large number of non-conflicting techniques that could make use of his additional mental capital.

He had very recently broken through to the Master Realm.

Yet, the sheer disparity between their raw speeds and the techniques allowed him to move so incredibly fast that even the SOUL System could only mitigate the enormous speed gap. In addition, his technique and Martial Mind had been molded around each other, while Rui's simply worked side by side.

The difference was enormous.
