Chapter 2062 Hyper Integration

When Rui woke up, he found himself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling.

For a moment, he didn't know what he was doing here.

Then he remembered.

"Ah..." he murmured. "...I won."

A sigh of relief escaped him.

The door to his room opened as two Martial Masters emerged.

"Rui..." Master Ceeran smiled. "How do you feel?"

Rui glanced at his hands, closing his eyes.

"...Quite good."

The wound he suffered hadn't been too bad by Martial Artist standards.

"Then, congratulations on your victory." He smiled. "You have earned your acquittal."

"...I suppose," He remarked. "I got off easy."

Developing even more powerful active techniques that synergized well with his Martial Mind like Flux Earther and Phantom Step was a great way to make progress while accumulating even greater strength.

He could maximize the potential of his Martial Mind and Martial Art to greatly increase his strength in the long run. "I especially need to bolster my offense as soon as possible," Rui narrowed his eyes with dissatisfaction. "I would have won my final fight without needing to take such a big risk if I had greater finishing power."

When he decided to take Master Grais' lethal attack head-on, he didn't know for a fact that he would emerge victorious.

It was a gambit.

If he had been able to severely damage Master Grais before that point when he was bludgeoning him before that point as a Martial Artist, he would have won.

"Even a speed-oriented and maneuvering-oriented Martial Master has greater lethality!" Rui chastised himself. It was a little embarrassing that Master Grais had more lethality than he did.

"It will need to actually be even more synergetic with my Martial Mind than Flux Earther and Phantom Step, those techniques aren't nearly as synergetic as I had previously thought."

He used to think they synergized well with his Martial Mind, but after looking at the synergy between Master Grais's Art and Mind, he didn't think so.

"Master Grais' techniques are so integrated with his Martial Mind that many of them cannot even be used without the Martial Mind," Rui recalled the Lightning Spear Jab technique that the Martial Master had struck him with.

That certainly was not something that could be used without a system of thought telling him exactly where to strike and how to cause damage to his opponent.

In comparison, the same could not be said about Flux Earther and Phantom Step.

"Don't be too swept up by hyper-integrated Art-Mind techniques," Master Ceeran cautioned him. "The Martial Mind is a limited resource and can and often does run out in the middle of battles. The moment it runs out, all techniques that depend on it to function cannot function anymore. Thus, getting too absorbed into making everything depend on it is a bad idea."

Rui nodded. "That's a really good point."
