Chapter 740 Consequences



However, they found that Rui had a way of vastly increasing the number of Martial Artists in the country over a longer period of time by a factor of ten, then they would do anything and everything in their power to get that technique.

The first thing that would happen would be that Rui would likely be secured by two powerful defensive Martial Masters. In the case that information about his ability leaked to the rest of the world and unscrupulous parties decided to try and kill him before he breaks the balance of power, the Martial Union would definitely secure his life and well-being with their very best.

It would not absurd for even a Martial Sage to take responsibility for protecting him.

They would probably begin by trying to compel him to voluntarily divulge the technique of his own accord. That way, a mutually beneficial deal could be established that satisfied both parties. Rui could end up obtaining a fortune worth of wealth with ease. He could end up gaining a huge number of highly beneficial privileges and status that only Martial Artists that stood at the peak of the nation could obtain.

ραпdα---nᴏνa| сom The Martial extremists would start worshipping him since he had the ability to bring fruition to their ambitions and dreams in the long run.

However, if he refused to divulge the technique, then things would take a turn for the worst very easily. Their policy of not forcing or coercing Martial Artists to divulge their techniques be damned, they would do everything they could get his technique. Rui highly doubted that they would not go as far as taking the entirety of his orphanage hostage to compel him to divulge the technique.

Regardless, they would get the technique. They would have Rui personally train as many trusted Martial Artists in that technique as they could, or develop new training technology based on the VOID algorithm. They would do everything in their power to become stronger through the new way that Rui's VOID algorithm will have shown them.

Rui probably would lose his freedom for a long time, and that absolutely was not something that he wanted.

('I cannot have any more of my pupils to break through to the Apprentice Realm,') Rui shook his head.

Three was already suspicious, but not unheard of. There were experienced mentors and teachers who've had far more pupils become Martial Apprentice. The issue might arrive due to his one hundred percent success rate thus far.

He needed to abstain from training pupils or at least ensure that he doesn't use the VOID algorithm training for them if he does mentor them. These were the bare minimum precautions that he had to take.

Eventually, the three of them returned back to the Quarrier Orphanage.

"Rui, I told you to get them back immediately."

"Ah, my bad. Haha…" Rui laughed with an apologetic expression.

He had been caught off-guard by the breakthrough of the two siblings that he had completely forgotten that he had been sent to get them back in time for lunch that he ended up inadvertently missing as well.

"Now now, I'm sure he must have been too absorbed by Max's and Mana's breakthroughs, let us cut him some slack," Julian smiled.

"Right right," Rui turned towards Julian. "It's been a while."

Julian had gone to work, and Rui hadn't seen them in the morning. The two of them exchanged a hug, they had always been particularly close with each other thanks to the many extensive conversations that they had with each other over topics that they had common interests. Julian engaged in research of all kinds, and he did specialize in the research of Martial Art as well. While Rui was a Martial Artist who had researched martial arts and combat sports for most of his life back on Earth.

That gave them expertise and understanding over many areas that only they had in the orphanage.

"How was your mission, Rui?" Julian asked. "This has been the longest mission that you have ever undertaken, correct?"

"True," Rui nodded. "Honestly, it was quite difficult and tiring, but at the end of the day, I managed to succeed."

Julian's eyes glinted with curiosity.

Rui had informed him of the gist of what he was up to. When Julian heard that Rui had been chosen as an ambassador of the Martial Union to negotiate the deal with the native indigenous Martial tribes of a faraway island, he couldn't help but be surprised. Yet he was shrewd enough to immediately recognize the merits of the idea and why the Martial Union had made this decision.

Although he had maintained correspondence with Rui, the latter had not been specific about the information that he had relayed.

"Sounds like quite the adventure," Julian smiled as they took their seats opposite each other. "What were they like?"

"They were barbaric and warmongering," Rui sighed. "They waged war against other Martial tribes on a daily basis. We had to carefully and delicately navigate them with scrupulous care, and it was tedious and patience-consuming, really. But quite satisfactory when we succeeded in the end. I managed to learn one of their technique and become stronger myself, I even created a new technique on the island."

Julian knitted his eyebrows in surprise. "You had time to train when you were the leader of the entire diplomatic operation?"

"…I delegated all the troublesome work to other more qualified personnel," Rui shrugged.

Julian sighed with amusement and resignation. Of course, considering that Rui succeeded, the Martial Union probably couldn't care less, especially since he was a Martial Artist.

"Tell me all you can about it," Julian urged Rui.

He was not an anthropologist, but even he had a lot of curiosity regarding other Martial Artist models. The fact that the Martial Union had deployed Rui probably meant that the natives had Martial Squires, in that case, he was quite curious as to how technologically inept had managed to stumble on the breakthrough to the Squire Realm.
