The Martial Unity

Chapter 2129 Perseverant

"I'm not done yet." Rui smiled. "I will test my new offensive technique to my heart's content."

"Hah, bring it on then." Master Vertol grinned. "My defense isn't just for show."

Although he said that, he was still deeply stunned at the revelation that Rui had cracked the principles of the technique upon his first observation of them three years ago.

Rui had also managed to successfully inflict damage on him, unlike last time. This showed that this technique alone surpassed his previous offensive technique. It was a tremendous boost that the Void Prince treated as entirely normal and mundane.

In other words, he was accustomed to such tremendous growth that even this was hardly worth remarking to him. To Master Vertol, this was hard to wrap his head around. The only time in his entire life that he had made such growth was when he mastered the Yin-Yang Shield technique through the secret methodology of the Gen Temple centuries ago.

Yet, despite that, he refused to cede ground to Rui's newfound growth. If the Void Prince was destined to surpass him anyway, then he ought to make sure that he maintained parity for as long as possible. Alas, Rui definitely didn't make that easy for him.

BOOM BOOM BOOOOOM!!!

The two Masters got into a furious brawl at close quarters as Rui, running in circles, peppered him with blows, one after another. All the maneuvering and foresight weapons he had at his disposal came to use now that he finally inflicted damage on his opponent.

Last time, none of it mattered since not even Hypertrophic Surge had been able to penetrate the man's Yin-Yang Shield.
