Chapter 63: Rematch

"You're a Martial Apprentice already??" Kane gaped in shock.

Rui laughed at his reaction. "That's an exaggerated reaction."

"No way, you just reached the Exploration Stage in two months! Finding your Martial Path is tough and tiring. You need to dedicate your everything to Martial Art for you to have a chance of discovering it. How did you skip all that?"

('Skip?') Rui mused inwardly. ('I did nothing but that for forty years.')

"Maybe I got lucky." Is what Rui actually replied.

Kane scoffed. "There is no such thing as luck when it comes to discovering your Martial Path. You either achieve it or you don't."

Rui shrugged. He had no intention of revealing the truth, Kane would have to settle with having unanswered questions.

"Anyways, I'm happy for you man. I know how much effort and energy you've dedicated and invested in Martial Art." Kane smiled. "Congratulations. You've begun your journey down your Martial Path."
