The Martial Unity

Chapter 2085 Two Sources

Yet, despite its ease of mastery, the Gen Temple had managed to monopolize the technique for centuries. This was because they went to obsessive degrees to hide the novel training method for the technique. All memories of the training method were wiped from the minds of all those who went through it, ensuring that it could never be spread without the authorization of the Gen Temple.

Apparently, the training method for the technique was extremely novel because not a single force had managed to crack the key to mastering the Yin-Yang Shield. To the present day, it remained a secret that only the highest authorities of the Gen Temple were entrusted with.

This was despite the fact that many samples of the technique, such as Master Vertol, had spread throughout human civilization.

"You were… a part of the Gen Temple?" Rui cautiously asked. The man nodded candidly. "Around two hundred and fifty years ago when I was still a Martial Apprentice. I had mastered the Yin-Yang Shield technique, but, unfortunately, due to lifestyle and ideology differences, was unable to remain in the Gen Temple. Thus, I was honorably discharged from the temple before I ended up in the Martial Union."

Rui stared at him with interest. "To think that the Martial Union has yet to crack the technique…"

The man burst out into laughter. "Not for lack of trying their damnedest, Your Highness. That being said…"

He lifted one leg up before bringing it down in a thundering stomp.

BOOOOM!!!!

In an instant, a crater large enough to swallow a small sea erupted across the entire region from the epicenter.

"…We're still in the middle of a fight, Your Highness." He smiled. "Come, show me what the most prodigious Master in existence is capable of."

A grin cracked at the edge of Rui's mouth.

"As you wish."

His Martial Mind surged into thought as he revisited his two interactions with the technique. Two of his most powerful strikes, each completely negated by a force emerging from within Master Vertol's body at the point of impact. The force also bruised his fist, serving as a counter-offensive technique.

It was deeply unlikely that simply bludgeoning him with attacks was going to be any different, thus Rui immediately ignored the natural instinct to continue attacking.
