The Martial Unity

Chapter 2089 Track record

Rui struggled with all his might as he leveraged Hypertrophic Surge, Fire Breathing, and Outer Convergence to make the best of what he had. He fought, using Thunder Coil to cause a light paralysis effect on his opponent while using Breathing Crucifix to shackle his breathing.

Yet, with each passing moment, it was he who suffered damage as the extraordinary technique subjected him to tremendous amounts of pressure from the constructively interfering sound vibrations that blasted at him.

The only thing that stood between him and a shattered skeleton was Nemean Blossom and Flux Earther.

Yet, not even they could hold out forever.

CRACK!

He gritted his teeth as he felt a pair of ribs breaking, only growing more desperate as time passed. Yet, Master Vertol recognized the faint scent of victory as his eyes grew steely with determination.

If Rui managed to break out of the grappling battle, then his victory was secured.

The grappling trap that Master Vertol had perfected and refined for more than a century was one of the reasons that he had managed to earn a high-grade evaluation. Yet, in exchange for a highly effective grappling trap, the greatest flaw of the technique was that once his opponent knew about it, the probability of it succeeding was extremely low.

Against Rui, Master Vertol knew that he would never succeed with the trap ever again. Rui had already demonstrated that his strategic and tactical Adaptive Evolution was extremely high, enabling him to pick the most objectively superior strategy at hand.

That was why Master Vertol couldn't let go.

No matter what.

His expression crumpled with steely determination as he pushed himself to the absolute limit. He would die before he let Rui go.

Yet, he didn't need to.

Rui had yet to inflict a spec of damage on him.
