The Martial Unity

Chapter 2087 Stamina Constraints

Rui smiled inwardly at Master Vertol's reaction. He sat down cross-legged, relaxing while simultaneously activating his stamina metabody, drastically lowering his energy consumption.

"You…" Master Vertol stared at him with pure bewilderment.

"That Yin-Yang technique of yours…" Rui smirked. "…Is it tiring to constantly maintain?"

The Martial Master froze as his eyes widened.

"I asked myself, 'Why does he constantly keep maintaining the Yin-Yang technique instead of only activating when an attack is incoming?'" Rui spoke out nonchalantly. "There are several possibilities, but…"

His gaze met Master Vertol's eyes.

"…the most likely one is that the technique cannot be activated rapidly."

Master Vertol did his best to suppress any reaction that he had, but unfortunately for him, Rui had already created a SOUL model on him.

A smile cracked at the edge of Rui's mouth as he confirmed the truth. "Since it cannot be attacked too quickly, it is far too risky to try and activate it reactively. Thus, it is left permanently active. But that consumes too much energy, so…"

He shrugged. "…I wonder which one of us will run out of energy first."

Master's Vertol's expression grew grave.

As absurd as Rui's strategy seemed, it actually was the worst thing that Master Vertol could deal with.

It was undoubtedly true that Rui's Martial Heart would last longer if the two of them just entered into a pure stamina contest at the moment. Master Vertol was especially certain he would lose this contest because he knew that Rui had consumed a stamina potion.

The only way that defeat wasn't inevitable was if he deactivated the Yin-Yang Shield technique.

Yet, he could not help but hesitate when he gazed into Rui's eyes.

They were the eyes of a predator.
