The Martial Unity
chapter-279

He tossed aside the commission that wanted him to participate in one of the events of the Martial Festival. He had had more than just enough of participating in competitive Martial events for now, he would rather focus on other endeavors.

He also tossed aside the mission bills of the interview commission and the brand endorsement and commission. He was not interested in fame and exposure; they were utterly meaningless to him.

That left the final mission.

The Kandrian Institute of Sciences had commissioned him to research his Martial Art.

Rui wasn't sure what to make of it. However, he suspected that his unique Martial Art had aroused interest in the scholars of the Institute of Sciences.

He knew from his conversation with Julian during the Kandrian Winter holidays that the Kandrian Institute of Sciences researched Martial Art and Martial Artists.

[Miscellaneous mission: Research subject

Mission objective: Serve as a research subject for Kandrian Institute of Sciences.

Remuneration rate: 20 Martial Credits/ 7 silver and 6 gold coins per hour.

Mission duration: 2 months.

Mission time period rate: 3 hours a day (Negotiable)]

Rui wasn't sure whether or not to accept the commission. There were pros and cons to the accepting the mission.

The cons were that he would be divulging the research of a lifetime from his previous life as scholars collected data, studying it and probably even evaluating the feasibility of reverse engineering it and stealing his algorithm.

He felt extremely repelled by that.

However, it could be what helps him overcome certain obstacles that genuinely may require empirical research to overcome. It might end up being the key to progressing his Martial Art.

He was extremely conflicted. Thankfully there was no commencement date, which meant it was likely an open-ended offer that would remain as long as he didn't straight up refuse it.

Furthermore, his brother Julian worked in the Kandrian Institute of Sciences as a scholar. Rui knew he had even worked on projects related to Martial Art.

Perhaps they would end up working together.

For now, he put the matter aside. He already accepted a whole slew of missions, he did not need anymore, nor did he have time for anymore. He could take his time and consider it very thoroughly.

He was also going to get into a thorough long training stage after this set of missions.

In his last training stage, he felt a bit rushed and constrained since he needed to scramble to obtain power in order to be ready in time for the Martial Contest. That due date had constrained his training options a lot.

But now he felt no burdens on him. He had finally come to realize how much pressure and how many shackles the Martial Contest had put on him.

He could finally enjoy being free!

The things he could do without any worries or cares.

Just developing his Martial Art, traversing his Martial Path with blissful peace.

As peaceful as a Martial Artist's life was, anyway.

His ultimate goal was to develop his Martial Art as high as was possible, to travel his Martial Art as deep as was possible.

He had already set a new forseeable goal in sight; To fulfill the second condition required for Squire candidacy.

And eventually, to step into a higher Realm of power.

To become a Martial Squire himself.

His body quivered.

The very thought of becoming a vaunted and mighty Martial Squire was unimaginably exciting!

To do that, he would need to undergo the breakthrough process. To do that, he would need to fulfill the second condition to Squire candidacy. He needed his Martial Art to mature and stabilize in its shape.

He had suspected that this condition would be much harder for him than it was for others. His Martial Art needed to be able to do everything, no matter how slight, in order to be able to adapt to everything. That meant he needed to step foot into many different fields.

He quickly jotted down all the aspects his Martial Art would need boost up in before it could be said to have matured.

He needed range. There were plenty of techniques he had seen that could allow his opponent to be able to counter him from range. There were also opponents he himself needed to keep at range in order to defeat soundly. One way or another, he needed to extend his range beyond the normal limits of the human body.

He also needed lethality that bypassed conventional durability. He would run into opponents whom he would struggle to hurt. He did not want to become extremely reliant on Stinger every time he fought a tough opponent. He needed more diverse ways of taking down his opponents. The Martial Contest had shown him that there were several options and possibilities to choose from.

He needed defensive countermeasures against these diverse offensive solutions. Currently his defense consisted of Acute Edge, Elastic Shift and Inner Divergence for strikes, and Shifting Silhouette. He had always knew this wasn't entirely sufficient, but only after the Martial Contest did he realize just how insufficient it was. He had zero direct countermeasures for high tier of poison, heat, sound, vibrations, permeation and nerve striking. He would struggle to adapt against these without atleast a core countermeasure.

Lastly, he also needed to take a serious step in overcoming the problems of the VOID algorithm. He had always been determined to do so, but only after the Martial Contest has he become impatient to fix them.

Currently, there were still two main issues with the VOID algorithm. The first issue was an issue that existed on Earth as well. He needed to fix the viability problem of the VOID algorithm. It was almost impossible to master the VOID algorithm in its entirety. Which is why it was not viable on Earth.

The second problem was, of course the new world problem. Adapting the VOID algorithm to the new world of his second life was something he intended on working on in the next training stage.

He had chalked out his objectives. Now it was time to get around to fulfilling them.
