Going Nowhere

Rui leaped away with a hint of displeasure as he evaded his opponent's attack calmly.

He was not happy that Ieyasu was able to overcome his offensive prowess this well. However, he had to admit that he was not surprised. The man had undoubtedly mastered many powerful techniques in his time. Rui didn't even think that there were any techniques, barring forbidden ones, that could down him very easily.

Perhaps in the past, when he had been able to only use one Martial Art at once, he wouldn't have been able to overcome Yin-Yang Spear that easily, but in the present when his Martial Mind allowed him to smoothly evolve Martial Art with other Martial Art, he could deal with virtually anything.

However, while Rui was dissatisfied with the outcome, he was not dissatisfied with the overall progression of the fight. 

For once, he was winning in terms of stamina.
