章 2244: Barricading Power

The Gatekeeper's words jolted Rui out of a shocked stupor.

"A system of thought dedicated to training outside combat?" Rui's eyes widened. "That's incredible!"

He had never known that such a thing was even possible. However, it appeared that the Martial Mind did not discriminate between different purposes of thought as long as it was directly in the service of the Martial Path.

It was remarkably impressive to Rui that the Gatekeeper had managed to come up with a system of thought that empowered his Physical Evolution itself.

"But…it makes sense," he realized. "I didn't sense him using any system of thought thus far in the battle. Furthermore, even his sudden spike in the growth of his Martial Body makes sense. It all adds up—"

"Focus," the Gatekeeper's deep voice was calm. "Do not get distracted by your endless fascination of Martial Art. The slightest bit of carelessness will get you killed."
