The Martial Unity

Chapter 2622: Hidden Power

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

The devastating power that Rui wielded at the moment was so great that it exceeded even the power that he would have been able to bring about with Hypertrophic Surge. He felt as though his entire body was designed for one and only one purpose.

Using this one technique.

And he did.

BOOOOOOM BOOOOOM BOOOOOOM!!!

His opponentʼs condition continued to decline hard as she struggled to defend against the onslaught that Rui unleashed upon her.

With the mastery gap removed, the only advantage she had was diversity. And yet, it wasnʼt enough to compensate for his vastly superior Martial Mind and his enormously more powerful systems of thought.

The SOUL System and the VOID algorithm were so extraordinarily powerful that it allowed him to dominate their exchanges, evading her attacks with elementary movements while he blasted her guard with tremendously powerful Yin-Yang Spears, one after another.

BOOOOOOM BOOOOOOM BOOOOOOM!!!!

It was overwhelming.

The expressions of the various Bodhisattvas grew ugly as they watched the Dawnbringer overwhelming their peak Master.

It was because they knew Amare so well that they knew that she had already displayed the full power of her Martial Art.

The full power of her entire life had already been harnessed.

She had nothing more to offer.

They gritted her teeth at the pain on her face and in her eyes. It wasnʼt just about the displeasure of their peak Martial Master falling short. It was also that nobody wanted to see pain on the face of someone who was otherwise a beacon of warmth, light, and joy.

Nobody except Bodhisattva Maitreyi, who grew increasingly delighted.

”Yes...” She murmured with a hint of a smile on her face. ”Keep pressuring her. Only then...”

Her expression grew more serious. ”Only then will you awaken Her.”

BOOOOOM!!!!!

Rui blasted with a tremendous attack, launching her away with an agonized expression. He felt a vice grip around his own heart at her condition.

This was new.

Had he ever felt sympathy for his opponent ever before?

He couldnʼt remember.

But when he looked at her in pain, he felt a deep unwillingness to continue. Something that shocked him as well, for he loved it adaptively evolving to the very end.

And yet, this time, he was inclined to end it early.

WHOOSH

He launched the final attack of the battle.

His fist flew to her jaw, threatening to knock her out then and there.

It should have ended then and there.

Nothing could have possibly saved her.

Nothing could have possibly changed what was about to happen.

And yet, in the very final moments, something changed.

Time slowed down in Amareʼs eyes as her mind entered a heightened state of mind. Something changed.

She had changed.

An expression of wonder arose on her face as she remembered.

She remembered.

She remembered memories.

Memories that werenʼt her own.

Memories from another soul.

Memories from another era.

Memories from another soul.

Memories buried so deep within her that she herself had forgotten.

She recalled visiting Mount Jinrae many, many centuries ago.

She recalled how she had found a settlement of ascetics atop the enormous mountain.

She recalled how she had imparted to them the power of Martial Art.

That wasnʼt all.

She recalled how she had traveled the length and breadth and a younger Panama Continent,

spreading the power of Martial Art across the entirety of the continent.

A flood of memories surged through her mind.

Not just any memories.

Memories of Martial Art itself.

What followed shook everybody who bore witness to it.

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

SPLAT!!!

Ruiʼs eyes widened with shock as he felt agonizing pain in his shoulder.

His arm was missing.

The arm that had surged to land the final blow on her.

It was gone.

Ripped off of its socket with overwhelming raw force.

WHOOSH

Rui leaped away from her with a hint of shock as he swiftly caught his severed arm. He swiftly activated Weaving Blood as he rejoined the limb to his body, staring at her with unadulterated

shock.

He wasnʼt alone.

The other Bodhisattvas stood up with raw bewilderment. ”What... what just happened?!”

They had never seen anything like this from Amare ever before!

Only one person seemed to understand what was happening.

She bowed to Amare with a hint of reverence.

”This one offers her undying respect to the Martial.”

Her words shook the other Bodhisattvas.

And yet, nothing could have shaken them as much as the power that Amare radiated.

RUMBLE!!!!!

She unleashed peril, unlike anything he had ever felt from a Martial Master ever before.

Her eyes were vacant.

Like she was in a trance.

Absorbed within the memories that flooded her entire mind from within the depths of her

soul.

She harnessed them.

Everything was Martial Art, after all.

RUMBLE!!!

The world shook as she leaped towards Rui with an astronomical amount of speed and power.

Rui was barely able to evade the power, unleashing his unsealed memories as he realized he could not afford to be hyper-specialized in this situation!

And yet, he was too slow.

BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!

”Rrrgghh...!” He gritted his teeth as his bones and muscles broke and tore under the sheer

power of her attack. The sheer damage that he experienced was so great that even Weaving Blood struggled to heal all of it in time!

Power beyond her wildest dreams flooded her movements as she unleashed all of it upon her

opponent.

Her movements were so extraordinarily efficient that she went beyond mere efficiency.

She harnessed energy that existed within the root of her being.

She harnessed the most minute of sparks of the endless power hidden deep within the

trappings of materia.

RUMBLE!!!

The world shook as she prepared for her final attack, one that would certainly end the battle

right then and there.

And then she unleashed it.

A catastrophic blow of extraordinary proportions.

One that would have killed any Martial Master.

She raced towards Rui with extraordinary speed and power, unleashing her classic palm thrust

on him.

Moments before the final attack reached Rui, time slowed down to a crawl as his eyes opened.

Two blood-red Suns shined with blinding brightness in the depths of his eyes.

BOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!!!!

An apocalypse of Water consumed his opponent and the entire world.

RUMBLE!!!

The world shook under the weight of the two extraordinary Martial Masters.
