Usually authors make their characters stronger by weapons and skills, rarely do you see them make use of tactics to improve strength. This often shows the difference between authors that use writing like a club and authors that use writing gracefully.

I made it up for dramat effect
A soft, bittersweet smile cracked at the edge of Rui's frozen demeanor. "…That's true."

His eyes sharpened with steely determination. "If knowing who I am is needed for fulfilling Project Water, then I will discover who I am, no matter what."

Behold the folly of my words
Not even the inheritance of the Elder Tree made him feel that way. His Martial Drive had protected him from the worst of the inheritance, merely causing him to suffer a drastic shift in emotional quotient.

How strange
Perhaps he had done so with the intention of ensuring he didn't become a true devil, as his epithet suggested, that would lead to his own destruction.

… the pride of a god, what’s even the point
"Narcissists. Sociopaths and psychopaths. Egomaniacs." She snorted contemptuously. "While they pursued their Martial Paths and were still driven by their Martial Drives, the courses of actions that they might have previously considered to be immoral were less and less so. Humans became lesser beings both in body and mind. No different from how humans view livestock as lesser, inferior, and property with which they could as they pleased. The most unfortunate reality is that they were not technically wrong. It is because the comparison cannot be refuted that it caused such a massive shift in psychology over time. The Reign of the Master Realm was one of the worst periods to ever be a human."

Wow she is cleaver too, grade 30 doesn’t come easy does it
Seconds passed as neither the pro-Rui faction nor the anti-Rui faction raised any objections to the powerful suggestion of the Harbinger. Raising an objection to this was no different from admitting defeat as Martial Artists, in a sense.

I have a feeling she wants to test his strength due to her position or her personality that landed her in her position
"And we are unable to decide and act amongst ourselves, as all of you have proven," the Harbinger coldly remarked. "But rest assured, I have a proposition. One that could solve all our problems."

I assume he meant these 3 chapters could have been 1 or 2 if being generous and that’s without losing anything important
"In the first place, this discourse is something that would not normally happen," Master Sera continued. "Under normal circumstances, we would be able to rely on our powerful analytics department to provide us with robust probabilistic projections and extrapolations of the consequences of the various plans that we have discussed. They would have given us an objective and scientific understanding of what plan would lead to what outcome. But unfortunately, we are unable to rely on anybody outside of this council at the moment."

"Has he not humiliated us when he lied through his teeth and played us like clowns?!" Master Herel's eyes blazed with rage. "Never before have I felt as humiliated as when I realized the prince I had spoken to for three years was the notorious and infamous Silent Shadow, who played me for a fool for four years straight!"

So far every time it is an elderly Martial Master speaking, they have had nothing good to say
"That's too little!" One elderly Martial Master strongly insisted. "We cannot allow for there to be such a light punishment for deceiving us! This will send a message to all Martial Masters. If we do not punish him for his deceit, then we will essentially be announcing to all Martial Masters that betraying the Martial Union and causing us many losses is perfectly tolerable as long as one is of value. You will start a rat race of Martial Masters pushing the line and testing the limits of how far they can go with deceiving the union!"

Well if you put it like that it’s hard to defend
The Martial Union had previously not wanted to turn Rui into a hostile entity against them, yet, at the same time, they couldn't have overlooked such major fraud against them. Gaining billions of gold worth of investment and donations under intentional and knowingly false premises and claims was textbook fraud. The Martial Union was well within their right to persecute him by themselves under the provisions of the Martial Judiciary Delegation Act of the Martial Covenant ratified by Emperor Rael Di Kandria in the year one hundred and four.

"Then, without further ado, let us consider the revisions to our original approach to handling the Martial Union's response to the Void Prince's deceit of the Martial Union," she calmly declared. "Might I remind you all that our previous resolution into this matter was to ensure that our relationship with the Void Prince would not deteriorate while also ensuring that he fully repaid the Martial Union for three counts of major fraud against the Martial Union. We had previously decided to offer him a settlement that would involve him conceding each and every single technique, principle, system of thought, and any other Martial development of any kind that he had ever engaged in, to the Martial Union while also demanding that he become a member of the internal corps and fall under our chain of command."
