The Martial Unity



This meant that the pattern recognition system of the VOID algorithm was also relevant to him timing of the healing technique. As long as he made sure that the energy and nutrients produced by autophagy were already in the bloodstream before the wound was inflicted.

While Rui was quite enlightened by his training and tests on his new technique, he was not content with such tame experiments.

('I want to test it out in a proper battle,')

That was the best way to test the effectiveness of any new technique. To actually apply it in combat, particularly against a strong foe. Other forms of testing were not necessarily bad, but real-life verification was most certainly the best way to go about things.

There was something else entirely about an opponent that actually struggled with everything they had to fight back that could not be replicated by testing in more controlled formats and environments.

However, in this case, it was a bit more tricky.

He needed the right opponent. If he just picked any opponent, he would not even use it against them because it was not the most optimal solution. He needed to find a guardian with a dominating lethal offense that was nearly difficult to avoid.

('Looks like I'm going to have to do some scouting.')

And so he did. However, it was not the way one would have expected him to. The Floating Sect did not publicize details surrounding the Martial Art of the various guardians. Thus Rui had only three ways to gain such information.

The first was through second-hand testimony from other guardians. He could ask around since many of them knew many of them for quite some time. The guardians at the bottom classes of the Floating Sect were generally in flux. Many came and many went.

The reason for this was that most initiate challengers challenged the weakest of guardians. However, once one went up the class, the less likely it was to be challenged.

Thus they were also less likely to die, as a result of failing.

Thankfully, duels between guardians were still allowed since battles between guardians did not require death as a win condition.

Another way that he could find out what he was looking for was by simply duels between guardians firsthand.

He was more favorable to this option. He did not want to rely on gossip, it was unreliable, and it felt wrong to do in the first place. Thus, he was inclined to get the information that he sought all by his own ability.

However, even that wasn't necessarily the best option.

He had a better option in mind, one that was quicker and more efficient.

('Scouting them when we defend the Floating Sect from an attack from the Kaddar Treaty Organization.') He mused with a mischievous grin.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Many Martial Squires would be partaking in protecting the Floating Sect from the Martial Squires that were aiming to weather down the guardians and whittle down their numbers. That meant that there was a good chance that Rui would find what he was looking for if he scouted for who he was looking for in war. That was the best part of the solution. He did not need to do much at all.

However, it did come with risks. He needed to scout while fighting off the attackers from the Kaddar Region.

('I'll have to make do with getting the most basic and easy details,') He sighed.

It was not possible for him to focus on his fellow guardians if he too was partaking in a life-or-death fight. He could not afford to make a single mistake, a single mistake could result in death.

Still, as long as he got the basic details needed to make the judgment he needed to make, he was actually quite satisfied.

('The best case scenario would be if my opponent also happens to be the type where my healing body turns out to be the best way to counter them,')

That would be perfect, but alas, it was not something that was very realistic. He needed an opponent that could push in just the right way for him to show the cards that he had just created.

The reason that he wanted to test the technique in a fight so much was because, unlike other techniques, this one was nearly as simple, he needed to make sure that it was practical and viable in a fight.

('The good thing about the new healing technique is that it can be halted the second I stop Whirlpool and Elephant Breathing,')

This was something that could not be said for the Godspeed technique. Once it started, he could not undo it. That was troubling because it meant that he needed to be extremely certain that that technique was the right choice for the circumstances that he was in.

If he made the wrong choice, it would be very bad.

('Also, I cannot use Godspeed and the healing technique in the same fight,') Rui tutted.

The reason for this was because a lot of the mass that was removed from his body through exhalation was, in part, dead cells that were used for the Hungry Pain technique. Thus if he used Godspeed in a given fight, he would not have the necessary dead cells left for recycling that could be used for his new healing technique.

That was a big issue that he needed to keep in mind whenever he was about to use either technique, just using them in a fight was committal, and he needed to make sure that he never came to regret it either way.

Of course, while using Godspeed made super-healing impossible, the other way around wasn't nearly as strict as long as he used it to a minor degree and did not drain as much as his recycled cell reserve.

('Ah, I ought to come up with a name for the new technique,') Rui mused, giving it some thought.

It wasn't long before he settled on one.
