The Martial Unity

Chapter 2295  Partnering Agreements

”So, if Iʼm getting this correct, sir, your goal is to create a Martial sect, and you wish to manage and oversee its creation and management after its creation?”

”Correct.” Rui nodded at Mikhaela. ”For now, I just need the minutiae of the planning of the sect to be taken care of. Only once thatʼs done can we actually create a sect. Until then, we have to set up things. I hope to delegate the management and oversight of this project to you guys. What do you say? Interested in getting hired by the Water Sect?”

She smiled at him. ”I would be honored, sir.”

”Good. Iʼll create the organization on paper soon and register the former administrative staff of my faction as employees of the new sect. Spread the world and create an administrative structure fitting for the sect.”

”Understood, sir. Iʼll get to it right away.”

”Also, prepare a governmental registration form and oversee the creation of a bank account in the National Kandrian Bank in the name of the Water Sect.”

”Will do, sir.”

His former factional administrative dove right into the planning of the technical aspects of the sect while he sat back and thought about his vision of the sect.

It was fine to the most spectacular sect pavilion, headquarters, banner, and name and whatnot. However, without incentives to attract Martial Artists to join his sect, he would never be able to grow his sect to the size that was needed to ensure that it would be of use when he truly needed it. ”What can I offer to Martial Artists that will get them to choose my sect over others?”

He had thought long and hard about these questions and had come up with several solutions that could potentially be enough to handle the problem and ensure that it did not impede his goal with the sect.

”Breakthroughs.”

It was the first thing to come to mind.

This was especially viable now that his ability had already been leaked as a result of his saving Kane. Since people already knew about it, there was no issue with publicizing it and using it to fuel the demand to enter his sect.

”I suppose Iʼll have to stop doing free breakthroughs,” Rui muttered. ”Tsk, if not for the war that might destroy the Kandrian Empire, I would have never done them for free in the first place.”

Who in the world would offer breakthroughs free of cost as Rui had been doing so? Even his father knew that the only reason he could even make that request was that three Sage-level powerhouses were doing everything in their power to harm the Kandrian Empire.

”Now, however, I can reduce the number of free breakthroughs and reserve them for those who enter my sect. I can still continue doing the same number of breakthroughs while I am here so that the Kandrian Empire benefits the same overall, except within the Kandrian Empire, the benefits go to the Water Sect. This is ideal.”

This way, he could benefit from his own labor.

”Breakthroughs are great, but theyʼre not enough for my goals.”

He didnʼt want Martial Artists to enter his sect with the sole goal of breakthroughs. He wanted them to also join the sect for pursuing Adaptive Evolution. This meant that his sect needed to be able to facilitate and aid their growth in the field of Adaptive Evolution. Otherwise, there was no point in even having a sect. His goal wasnʼt just to have a big organization; he wanted as many people as possible to make advancements and developments.

”I need to provide resources necessary to help them make progress with adaptive evolution.”

Such as specialized training resources that would aid with progress in the field and the techniques to learn.

”…Looks like I might have to contract with the Martial Union formally to borrow their existing proprietary technology and contract with some esoteric tech developers to add a little something extra on top of that.”

He knew that his father had Charles DiViliers working for him on retainer for essentially free of cost in exchange for a royal pardon. He would need to commission him in order to get the high-quality training and growth resources that he sought.

All sects reserved techniques and resources for their respective fields that not even the Martial Union had, all for the sake of drawing in those Martial Artists who only cared about their Martial power.

He would need to do the same with the Water Sect.

These were extraordinarily difficult for most people to achieve in the short run, and the Martial Union seldom gave out its proprietary technology for any amount of money. On top of that, the top esoteric technology developers didnʼt just sign large agreements with just about anybody.

Thankfully, it was at moments like these that his status came to be of use.

Just his status as a powerful and the most prodigious Master was enough to earn the attention of the tycoons of the esoteric development industry. His other identities made it so that they could not ignore his approaches without consequences.

”Once I get their services and help, it should be enough to foster growth in the Water Sect when it comes to Adaptive Evolution.”

This was enough of an initiative for the start of the sect as long as he fleshed it out and ensured that it was in the best interests of his goal of creating the sect in the first place. Once the sectʼs growth plateaued, he could work on adding more incentives.

”Breakthroughs, resources, and techniques…” He murmured to himself. ”The former requires no preparation on my part, and the second requires long-term partnership agreements with esoteric developers, but it is still straightforward. The techniques, however…”

He scratched his head. ”That wonʼt be so simple.”

What technique was he to offer to attract Martial Artists to his sect?

”I suppose Iʼll have to offer diluted and less mentally intensive forms of the various systems in my Martial Art. Still, that will take time…”

Adapting and converting his Martial Art into Adaptive Evolution techniques that could be used by others was a time-consuming affair, which was normally a no-go, thanks to the war. ”I have the manifold, though,” Rui smirked. ”Time to grind in there and get these done.”
