บท 1508: Unfolding

Master Haishi's Martial Path was active stealth brawling. She simply eluded her opponent's senses through various physical principles instead of misdirection, allowing her to fight head-on and directly without fearing attracting her opponent's attention.

Most misdirection-centric stealth users could not maintain stealth while also directly engaging their targets in combat. Engaging targets in combat attracted attention to them which worked against misdirection. It was intrinsically contradictory.

There were very few exceptions to this rule like Kane, because he had mastered the grade-ten Void Step which relied on combat maneuvering itself to misdirect his target, and Rui, whose misdirection was so powerful that it could work even if he directly engaged his target head-on.

Some especially powerful mind-oriented Martial Artists could also do the same, but the number was highly limited.
