It made sense because blood was the carrier of the energy and nutrition needed for the wounds to heal, from the rest of the body. He spent some more time estimating the limits of his healing.
Even before he got into the experimentation, he could already theoretically project some of the limits of his healing.
Given that his healing was limited by the amount of energy, compounds, and nutrition that was needed to build new cells.
('That's several kilograms of flesh,') Rui mused.
Martial bodies were much denser and heavier than normal human bodies, which was why the Weaving Blood and Godspeed technique could work for Martial Artists, and not for normal humans. However, even with increased mass, Rui estimated the limit for the amount of tissue that he could heal and regenerate was limited to several kilograms at most.
This was important because he needed to track how much his body had healed at all times. It could end up being a disaster if he somehow miscalculated how much more damage he could handle. That could up with him being severely damaged in a particular scenario but unable to heal because he thought his healing factor was still super-enhanced.
Rui conducted several tests to verify his limits in practice, and much to his surprise, he was actually capable of healing more than he had initially projected.
There was more to the body than just recycled cells, and he hadn't accounted for additional sources of energy and compounds.
Testing out Weaving Blood was an ordeal that took days, he did not want to miss a single detail. From healing volume to healing speed among other variables, he needed to ensure that he understood everything there was about the technique.
It was only after he was done that he volunteered for a deployment. The Floating Sect allowed guardians to volunteer for a defense deployment if they wanted to. There were many guardians who saw the war as an opportunity to forge themselves and grow stronger as a result.
Rui was not one of them, although he did not disagree with the idea, and would have been a part of them in different circumstances, he was too consumed with his newfound project to care about gaining more experience as a Martial Artist in war.
The only reason he was entering today was to find a Martial Artist that was suitable for him to challenge.
He did not intend to make a predictive model, of course. Nor could he, when he was focused on fighting his opponent.
"You're volunteering?" Kane frowned. "All because you wanna find a suitable opponent to challenge to test your new technique?"
"Yes,"
"That's some dedication alright. Why don't you ask around? It's easier and it doesn't require having to partake in a battle." Kane suggested.
"I already considered that," Rui replied as he began gearing up. The next attack was projected to appear any time soon, and he was expected to be on standby if he was going to partake in the war.
"Well, good luck. Have fun."
It wasn't long after he was waiting on standby. Alarms rang as another wave of Martial Squires was reported arriving from the Kaddar Region. Nobody panicked, and everybody went about responding calmly with the relevant and established protocol.
Rui and the many guardians on standby began dismounting from the island as they dove down. Although the enemies were able to secure the safety of the island with some sort of advanced esoteric technology that used the gravitation of the esoteric substances that caused the bind over the island to grow stronger temporarily making it harder to destroy and crumble to the ground, it was still best for the Floating Sect to distance the battle away from the island as much as possible.
Because it meant that the Martial Squires of the Kaddar Region no longer had any compunctions about wreaking havoc atop Ajanta Island.
('They're here,') Rui narrowed his eyes.
His instincts sharpened as he focused his mind, dedicating most of his concentration to the enemies, while also keeping a bit of an eye on his fellow guardians.
Soon enough, they entered range for distant artillery exchanges. Both sides rained the other side with long-range attacks.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Most Martial Squires simply spammed attacks from such a large range with the hopes of randomly hitting a few before the battle entered the mid and close-range quarters. T
Not Rui, he did not simply attack with the hopes of hitting an opponent.
He attacked with the knowledge that he was going to hit his opponents.
He masterfully applied the Pathfinder technique and Transverse Resonance tier five parallelly. The two grade-ten techniques worked wonders as he managed to kill a Martial Squire or two from just afar!
They didn't even know what hit them, literally.
However, once he got closer, they were able to sense the creation of the sound projectile even if it was hard to detect after it was launched.
Rui, however, was not entirely focused on his hapless victims. He momentarily paid attention to the progress and fighting styles of his peers at range.
There were several standouts, although he did not know who they were. But it did seem as though they had the qualities that he was looking for. Wide-range offense with a focus on lethality, because this was not an overly niche field, there were several guardians who appeared to possess the necessary traits in their Martial Art and style of combat that could be compatible for Rui to be able to use his Weaving Blood technique to the fullest when they returned to the Floating Sect where he would promptly challenge them to a duel.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Explosions and blasts rippled through the atmosphere as the two armies finally collided and countless battles between the guardians and Kaddar Martial Artists ensued. Rui was immediately confronted by a close-range Martial Squires with a blade in his hands.
('Oh…?") Rui's eyebrow rose. ('A swordsman… Interesting, interesting indeed.')
He did not back down.
