The battle shifted into the second phase as the cards had been laid out for both Martial Masters.
Even with the SOUL System at play, Rui found it difficult to actually land a blow on the Martial Master. He had succeeded in doing so the very first first time because he managed to cleanly catch Master Grais off guard due to over-committing.
However, the Martial Master was shockingly faster than he was.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!
He effortlessly avoided Rui's attack, moving so fast that he was reduced to indistinguishable blurs in Rui's eyes. His Martial Body was far faster inherently, but even more shocking was the number of techniques this man used simultaneously!
'He's using almost two dozen techniques simultaneously.' Rui narrowed his eyes. 'It makes sense because the Martial Mind has expanded the cognitive limits to active techniques.'
