Chapter 2094 Heavy Hitter

Chapter 2094 Heavy Hitter

Once a dedicated medical team began helping the Gatekeeper return to his peak, Rui bade the man farewell.

"I shan't forget my debt to you, Void Prince. Rest assured, I shall repay you for this boon one day," he solemnly swore to Rui before the latter departed. Rui left him to his own devices.

His road to rehabilitation wouldn't be easy, considering his age and just how absurd his recovery process would be.

There was a price to pay for healing from the Divine Doctor, of course.

First, the Emperor was healed from an incurable disease.

And now, the Gatekeeper was suddenly healed from a grave condition.

This alone was far from enough to conclude anything, but it was the start of a pattern.

Rui knew that any further application of the Divine Doctor's services needed to be limited until after his father regained all his political power. He would be entering risky territory otherwise. He knew that he had already attracted the attention of the three Sage-level powerhouses that rivaled Kandria.

He would need to wait until his father chalked up an elaborate long-term grand plan for the elevation of Kandria above all others.

Until then, everything needed to stay below the radar.

He heaved a sigh, shaking his head lightly as he went through his to-do list to make sure he hadn't missed anything.

"Divine Doctor stuff; check. Elder Tree stuff; check. Alien lifeform stuff; check. Faction stuff; check. Martial Union stuff; check..." He pondered about what he had yet to do. "Panamic Martial Federation stuff is still in the air, but..."

This was not something that required his immediate attention.

CLACK.

The gates were shut, leaving him all to himself.

The moment he was alone, he dove into his mind in regard to how he wanted to spend the next few years training.

"...I'll undertake one project this time."

He wanted to produce an outcome that was extremely refined and of the supremely highest quality that he was able to muster. He had much cognitive room for more active techniques ever since he broke through to the Master Realm, but he didn't want to saturate it with sub-optimal techniques.

Because he was young, he knew he could develop powerful techniques in a fraction of the time that it took others. Thus, he was far more concerned about making sure that the quality of his martial art remained extremely high, especially since there were no areas in which he lacked a foundation.

"Offense is important enough to have my full undivided attention and effort."

With that decision in place, he was ready to get started on his next training phase, one that was dedicated solely to bolstering his lack of conventional offense.

"Project Heavy Hitter." The name of the project signified its objective. He needed something that bolstered his offense heavily and synergized extremely well with his Martial Mind and systems of thought. It would most likely mean that he would not be able to use the technique too well without his Martial Mind, but with it, he would gain the tremendous finishing power that he had always lacked for some time now.

Prior to his battle with Master Vertol, he had had some tentative avenues that he could pursue, but after he had been exposed to the astronomical power of the Yin-Yang Shield that made it a grade-ten technique in the first place, he knew that he wanted to explore its principles and see if they could be adapted to offense.

The reason he saw much potential in this avenue of pursuit was because the Yin-Yang Shield was able to exert a terrifying amount of damage despite being defensive in nature. Thus, how much damage would it be able to exert if its principles were leveraged specifically for the sake of offense?

It was something that he could not even begin to imagine.

It was a thought that excited him.
