The Martial Unity

Chapter 766 Training

He wasnʼt sure when he was given a priority status when it came to the goods and services, however, he was sure that this was reflective of the value that the Martial Union had in him.

He had contributed a lot to the Martial Union in the nearly seven years that he had been a Martial Artist, he had also accomplished a lot and made tremendous strides in his Martial Path and contributed to Martial Art in general.

There was no doubt that he was a valued asset, and he had no compunctions about using his status to cut in line. If this was a line to the movie, he would respect public etiquette, but when it came to his Martial Art, he didnʼt care. He would obtain what he needed.

One small dose of a potent drug inhabited his instincts to suppress Primordial Instinct completely, and soon enough he was inside the training room, in an absolute void.

He could not sense a damn thing about his environment through his old senses.

Yet the Grainer Pollen and the Cryllin Stone across his body stirred, changing in temperature and the internal force that they applied on him.

Their reactions to their environment told him about their environment because he knew exactly how they reacted to everything. The only problem was that he had yet to master ʼreadingʼ their reactions.

That was what this was all about.

He had begun the training with a simple moving environment. He was far from ready to apply this in a combat situation. His current training environment was simply comprised of ordinary moving objects of different sizes and masses.

His initial goal was to reach a stage where he could simply avoid them without ever getting touched.

BUMP

”Tsk,” Rui tutted, having bumped into a small moving pillar.

He focused hard as he paid attention to the fluctuations of the esoteric substances inside his body.

The Grainer Pollen were constantly shifting their directions of push due to the fact that the objects in their vicinity were also moving.

Had they been stationary, the Grainer Pollen would also be less chaotic, although never stationary, since they had a wide range of senses.

Soon enough, a rough image of his immediate surrounding formed in his head. It was low in clarity since he still had yet to be able to read the details of the information that he was getting from the esoteric substances.

STEP

He moved aside as he avoided another object.

He spent the first few hours simply growing absolutely comfortable with this simple exercise. Getting rid of the simple and elementary mistakes that he was making.

In combat, he wouldnʼt have time to make complicated calculations, this was different from the VOID algorithm. The VOID algorithm could afford a delay since it was not absolutely fundamentally necessary to his combat every second.

However, if he was in the Shionel Dungeon, then he needed a way to ensure that he could always rely on it at any given moment. He could not afford to sit around twiddling his thumbs while he ran complex calculations in his head just to sense his surroundings.

The monsters were not going to be polite enough to wait for him to finish.

He needed to reach a stage where he could complete the ʼreadingʼ of the Cryllin Stone and the Grainer Pollen in his body at any given moment subconsciously and reflexively.

He simply was not at that stage at the moment.

As time passed, he upped the speed of the movements of the obstacles. Of course, at this point, it was still at a stage where a fit human would be able to dodge them under normal circumstances.

(ʼThe tricky part is reading all of them at the same time, and then combining the data from the two esoteric substances together,ʼ) Rui tutted as he bumped into another obstacle by mistake.

His mind was in full focus at the moment. He was not only absorbing everything he sensed subconsciously but was also documenting every moment of the training session rigorously into his Mind Palace.

He intended to thoroughly revisit his experiences later inside the Mind Palace, allowing him to introspect and look back better. Furthermore, it would allow him to correlate the sensory reading he got from the esoteric substances and the actual phenomenon.

Then, he would hammer it into his head until he could accurately recount it even if he was drunk.

In this manner, he could be able to maximize his rate of growth.

(ʼI should consider increasing the amount of training time,ʼ) Rui mused to himself, before shaking his head.

He still needed to dedicate time to mastering the techniques of Project Monster Repellant.

Six hours later, Rui was finally done with his training.

(ʼNot bad for a first day,ʼ) He sighed.

Still, he wasnʼt too pleased. He usually progressed much faster with sensory techniques. However, what he was attempting at the moment was so ridiculously difficult that he couldnʼt possibly speed through it like he had his previous techniques.

”Phew,” He wiped the sweat off his forehead as he left the training room having removed the suit.

(ʼWoah,ʼ) He was surprised by how many Martial Squires were crowding the facility. He needed to sky-walk over them at one point to get past the crowd.

(ʼThese guys… They must be the people that I bypassed in line through my priority status in the Martial Union,ʼ) Rui smirked inwardly, ignoring the few glares that he got from the Martial Squires who saw him leave after hogging the training room for six hours.

(ʼThey must all be here in preparation for entering the Shionel Dungeon,ʼ) Rui noted casually.

The Shionel Dungeon exploration had stalled significantly, inviting long-term plans for Martial Squires who couldnʼt enter immediately, since it was quite likely that the dungeon would not be cleared any time soon whatsoever.

Thus he was not surprised to see a ton of Martial Squires equipping themselves with the necessary sensory techniques, after all, wasnʼt he doing the same thing?
