In the days that followed, Kane stormed the battlefield, eager to test the limits of his capabilities against someone who wasn't Rui.

The reason for that was that Rui was arguably the worst person for him to test his strength against. The reason for that was because Rui possessed grade-ten combat power, if not more when he was facing off against opponents that he was very familiar with.

He became a force to reckon with. Much to his delight, none of his opponents could lay so much as a finger on him!
