Chapter 2086 Sitting Down

"What a powerful attack...!" Master Vertol exclaimed. "I have never experienced such pain in my entire life!"

Yet a grin emerged on his face. "Not enough to overcome the Yin-Yang Shield, I'm afraid."

Rui smiled. "Say, do you know how the technique works?"

"Of course," he snorted. "The shield is born from the harmony of my inner yin and the outer yang. The harmony of yin and yang gives rise to all things in the universe."

Rui stared at him knowingly. The fact that an empowered Reverberating Lance and the Yin-Yang Shield produced interference patterns that were normally only produced by the superposition of two sound waves necessarily meant that there were two sources of vibrations.

One was, of course, Reverberating Lance.

The other could only be the Yin-Yang Shield.

The source of its defensive power was sound vibrations.

Yet, that wasn't the whole explanation.

It didn't explain many things.

For instance, through the mind sense and the SOUL System, Rui knew that the man was currently exerting himself on the Yin-Yang Shield technique. Yet, despite that, he was unable to detect any sound.

The only time the force of the sound showed up was when his attack made contact with the Yin-Yang Shield.

And he had already verified that it wasn't Master Vertol who was actively maintaining the technique.

So why exactly was the sound detectable at the moment and position of impact? Updated chapters at novelhall.com

'I need more data.' Rui grew a little excited at the prospect of cracking the mysteries of the Yin-Yang Shield. He couldn't believe that he had somehow happened upon the secrets of the Yin-Yang Shield.

It made sense that he was the one able to gain insights into the technique.

His insights from the nuances of his understanding regarding waves and how they interacted gave him an advantage.

Given that the understanding of the non-esoteric reality of the scientific community of Gaia was highly underdeveloped, it made sense that others had yet to gain insights into the Yin-Yang technique.

Based on his current insights, the technique was comprised of two components.

Internal vibrations and external vibrations.

The former were vibrations that were created inside the body, primarily through the movements of the diaphragm.

The latter were vibrations caused by the muscles. It was very similar to Reverberating Lance. The normal state of the technique when it was active and in effect was that of a state of destructive interference where the two vibrations canceled each other out to such a degree that one would never detect the presence of either.

Yet, the moment the user was disturbed by an external force, the delicate balance that led to an absolute destructive interference was disrupted, causing the two vibrations to interfere constructively. The constructive interference led to the sudden creation of a powerful sound wave at the point of contact with the opponent.

The sudden shift from destructive interference to constructive interference created an extremely convincing illusion. The illusion that the force came into existence out of literally nowhere, one that fooled even the powerful senses of Martial Artists.

That was the secret of the Yin-Yang Shield technique.

The reason this technique was this powerful was that it drew power from more techniques than just the muscular system. It drew power from the diaphragm and across all cells of the Body to contribute to the vibrations.

Master Vertol had most likely been trained to be able to create constant destructive interference without conscious effort such that he could maintain the technique as a matter of muscle memory alone.

WHOOSH

Rui abruptly dispelled both the domain and the Hypertrophic Surge, ceasing his attack altogether.

"What's the matter, young man?" The Master raised an eyebrow. "I'm far from done; your power isn't enough to do me in anytime soon."

Rui didn't respond.

Yet what he did shocked everybody to their very core.

He sat down.

Every single person spectating the battle froze.

They stared at the Void Prince, aghast.

"What... What is the meaning of this?!" Master Vertol barely managed to squeeze words out through his shock.
