The Martial Unity

Chapter 1029 Menaces

?

In the days that followed, Kane stormed the battlefield, eager to test the limits of his capabilities against someone who wasn't Rui.

The reason for that was that Rui was arguably the worst person for him to test his strength against. The reason for that was because Rui possessed grade-ten combat power, if not more when he was facing off against opponents that he was very familiar with.

Thus even though he had fought hard against Rui in the Thundering Valley, he still did not have a good intuitive feel for how well he would perform against normal Martial Squires.

That was the issue with Rui, one that he hadn't overcome yet.

In the next few days, Kane eagerly took part in the Squire-level conflicts against the surrounding nations.

And it went exactly as he hoped it would.

He became a force to reckon with. Much to his delight, none of his opponents could lay so much as a finger on him!

At one point he was fighting the entirety of all enemy Martial Squires as he ran around the battlefield, attacking all of them one by one.

Rather than fighting one Martial Artist at a time, he decided to turn into a bit of a team battle as he simply ran around helping allies and friendlies win in battle.

These speedy and sneaky attacks gave his allies an advantage allowing them to capitalize on it and win the battle as a large, driving away the enemy Martial Squires.

Soon enough, Kane gained his own notoriety among the surrounding nations as the chaotic flash that dashed around the entire battlefield caused havoc, one that they hadn't managed to even land a scratch on.

On days that both he and Rui participated, they were menaces on the battlefield. There were times when the enemy Martial Squires retreated from the battlefield just when they recognized the duo, for they were not equipped enough to handle the two of them at once.

Rui and Kane had reached a stage where they could effectively keep up with the enemy squad with just the two of them alone, even if their allies failed to keep up.

The one thing that Kane regretted was that it was impossible for him to use the Void Step technique simultaneously with his Fulminata technique.

The Void Step technique was a very conscious technique, it was a technique that required the user to very consciously gauge and then misdirect the attention of the targets of the technique.

The issue was that when he was using Fulminata, he was operating purely on enhanced reflexes. The current and charge only amplified his reflexes and thoughtless movements, not all cognitive processes. That meant that he was moving too fast for him to apply the technique when he was using Godspeed with Fulminata.I think you should take a look at

Rui hadn't expected him to be able to use the two techniques together either. It was simply too overpowered, it would give him a level of power so high, that Rui would probably be the one and only Martial Squire in the entire world who could take him down.

Regardless, Rui was happy for his friend's success. He had managed to retain a good chunk of the original Fulminata technique. In a sense, it was probably good for Kane's growth that he didn't manage to retain it at its original power and capabilities. That would have been far too rapid for growth, it would have hindered him in the long run. It would have eliminated any need for Kane to develop techniques with individuality and probably would have stagnated his growth to the higher Realms consequently.

Seeing Kane be and do fine put his mind at ease as he returned back to his own matters.

He had been subjecting himself to electrical conditioning. Passing current through his body and fighting to retain control over his muscles was something he had found more challenging than he had expected.

The current most certainly hurt, not only did it render his muscles obsolete, but it also burned due to how much it heated up his body. Unlike Kane, his body offered a lot of resistance to current, it meant that his body would heat up as a result. That was one of the reasons that he had minimized the amount of Lundenfire Marble that he would be inserting into his body to make sure that he wasn't overdoing it.

He couldn't afford to overheat in the middle of a battle.

During this time, both Kane and he had already begun training on the integration technique of the poison field. Subjecting his digestive system to the substance had slowly begun to cause it to be able to integrate the substance into the body over time.

The reason the two of them had been subjecting themselves to this technique was so that they would be able to regenerate their tattoos if they were got damaged in battle, just by ingesting some Lundenfire Marble.

Rui had also opted to have the same technique performed for the substances that he had used for the Riemannian Echo technique. Thus he would be able to naturally fix his Riemannian Echo technique just by ingesting the relevant substances.

It took weeks for him to finally reach the level of comfort when subject to current before he was finally ready to get the procedure done himself.

BZZT!

"Woah…" Rui murmured as he felt the strange numbing sensation spread across his body. Previously, this would have been very painful, but he had managed to develop a degree of

His procedure took even less time, and he bounced back out of recuperation very quickly. However, the job was not done immediately. Unlike Kane, he didn't have pre-existing techniques that allowed him to know what to do with the current.

He was finally at a stage where he could proceed with the two projects that he had had in mind. It was only now that he had gotten his own little lightning technique that he could fully realize the two techniques.
