The Martial Unity

"Still, that alone isn't enough to dismiss their value," Rui replied thoughtfully. "Thus, I would suppose that most Martial Masters find a balance between the two. Or better yet, it's quite likely that most Martial Masters create two versions for important techniques, one that is extremely integrated with the Martial Mind and one that can function without it."

Master Ceeran nodded, impressed. "That is exactly what the current paradigms for Martial Masters are. It's remarkable that you managed to arrive at a solution that was created over centuries, instantly."

"Hmmm…" Rui grew engrossed in the matter. "Creating two versions is a highly intensive training process and is really only worth it for the most core and central techniques of one's Martial Art. Still, I suppose I can put it on my list."

He began fleshing out his journey in the Master Realm.

From his conversations with his grandmother he knew that the condition to breaking through to the Sage Realm was knowing the true answer to the question that all Martial Masters needed to ask themselves.

The best way for Martial Artists to arrive at the answer to that question was to simply unlock their true selves by gaining immense power. The power they gained would give them the power to choose things they were too weak to be able to do before. The choices they then made would illuminate who they truly deep in the depths of their mind.

His grandmother had advised him that his Body was one of the lowest-ganging fruits as far as gaining more power.

"Time to drink up another enhancement potion." Master Ceeran smiled wryly. "You know, even for Martial Masters, getting access to them is not easy. One needs to breach grade fifteen to even have any chance at all at getting them within a reasonable span of time."

"I shot past such a level of power," Rui calmly remarked. "Besides…"

He glanced at his friend with a smirk. "I am the Void Prince. I can drink ten potions right now if I want."

Ceeran shook his head. "That would be a blunder, I'm sure

Master Ceeran remarked.
