Chapter 2212 Tempered Psychology

Rui regarded her words with approval.

She was right. Victory in war was very different from victory in a duel between Martial Artists.

They weren't even remotely comparable. Not only were the conditions for what counted as a victory in the war different from the conditions for victory in a duel but the way one would go about the former was very different from the way one would in a duel.

That was the purpose of the little briefing that was being held for the Martial Masters of the Kandrian Empire.

"Killing one opponent and wounding another is considered a failure if you allow the latter to reach the Kandrian Empire while you're busy killing the former," Master Sera calmly informed the gathering of Masters here. "Injuring both opponents and ensuring that they remain with you and don't go anywhere, on the other hand, is considered a victory. I only hold these briefings because none of us have gotten any pressing border defense experience in recent times. Thus, it would behoove all of you to shake off all individualistic notions of victory in this operation." U//ppTodated fr/o/m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)\/m

It was a prudent choice.

There were probably several Martial Masters who would have fought with the intention of obtaining individual victories as much as possible.

She had keenly realized that and sought to break them out of this mindset rather than have such fools ruin the operation she was assigned to be the head of.

The reason that she was assigned to be the head of the Master-level interception force was rather simple.

She was the strongest.

She was the only Martial Master he knew who possessed an academic degree aside from himself. She was a licensed therapist and psychiatrist in the Kandrian Empire, graduating from the Kandrian Institute of Humanities with honors when she had been a Senior. Of course, she didn't just do it for fun. No.

It had to do with her Martial Path.

Trauma Induction.

She diagnosed the mental health of her opponent's mid-battle using a system of thought created by her background in psychiatry and identified mental, emotional, temperamental, and personality weaknesses and damage in their mind.

And then, she broke them.

To be more precise, she used a second system of thought to identify exactly what needed to be communicated to them in order to trigger PTSD, panic and anxiety attacks, and mental and emotional breakdowns.

And in their mentally weakened state, she killed them.

She was also the only known Martial Artist in history to win battles by making her opponent commit suicide.

Not a single Martial Master dared to challenge her to combat. Not even a spar.

Nor did she accept the challenge that Rui had issued to her during his time in the manifold grinding for experience.

"Ah, young man." She had laughed at him. "I can't control my power. I would hate to make your path to the Sage Realm harder than it already is."
