Chapter 2250 Stunning Discovery

The demeanor of the retreating Martial Sages of the Sekigahara Confederate was grave and severe.

And for good reason.

Not even the Martial Sages could maintain their composure when they learned about the Dawnbringer's ability to trigger breakthroughs of his own accord and everything that had unfolded from the sole Master survivor.

"You mean to say that all this time, it was the Void Prince who was responsible for the Kandrian Empire's mass breakthroughs?" Sage Shinken gritted his teeth. "Dammit."

If this was something that was exclusive to the Dawnbringer, then it meant that it was most likely some highly exclusive technique or system of thought or a combination of the two. This meant that it most certainly wasn't something that could be executed by others.

"However, if the Dawnbringer is the sole one capable of triggering breakthroughs en masse, then he most certainly wouldn't have been deployed into a war where he could potentially die and deprive the Kandrian Empire of a powerful tool." Sage Shinken fell into thought. "Emperor Rael is too prudent a man to do something that risky and foolhardy. This can only mean that there are others who can also execute the breakthroughs."

He was wrong.

Of course, that didn't mean that his line of reasoning was foolish.

It was indeed true that Emperor Rael would rather Rui sit the war out, but he didn't voice this desire to his son because he knew that he would refuse.

He didn't request him to consider otherwise.

"The only way to heal the Sekigahara Confederate from this devastating wound is to acquire the Kandrian Empire's method of breaking Martial Artists through" Sage Shinken's eyes flashed with determination. "We will stop at nothing to get our hands on the Master Realm breakthrough that the Dawnbringer foolishly exposed to us."

"I don't think it's going to be easy." Sage Senpu heaved a sigh. "I hate to admit it, but the brat is absurdly strong for his age and youth in the Master Realm. Really, only one of us has a guaranteed chance of succeeding at capturing him alive with that forbidden technique at his disposal."

A smile appeared on Sage Shinken's face. "Ah, Senpu. You have overlooked one crucial possibility. Even if we fail to get our hands on him, we can still acquire his Martial Art. A superior copy of his Martial Art."

Sage Senpu's eyes widened as realization dawned on him. "You mean...?"

"Yes." Sage Shinken's voice was steely. "We fight fire with fire. One monstrous genius for another. The Kandrian Empire will learn that it isn't the only one with a prodigy of godly talent, the likes of which the world has never seen before."

All things considered, Sage Shinken's solution was actually quite clever. The Sekigahara Confederate didn't strictly need Rui himself if the secret to breakthroughs was hidden in his Martial Art.

Thus, if they could get someone who had the ability to copy Martial Art and improve it, then they could get their hands on what they wanted with no fuss.

"But... he left the Sekigahara Confederate many years ago, did he not?" one of the Sekigaharan Sages asked with uncertainty. "True, if I recall, he left because there was no more Martial Art in the nation worth taking for himself. Tsk, this is why I hate geniuses. God blessed them with extraordinary talent, yet they still are not satisfied."

"We must find him." Sage Shinken was determined. "We'll have to entrust those Nindo fools with the task after we scold them and make them pay for their lapses in intelligence. We're almost near the Sekigahara Confederate, so it shouldn't be too long until we reach home—!"

RUMBLE...!

The nine Martial Sages shook as they felt extraordinary energy output emerging from the direction of their homes.
