The Martial Unity Chapter 215 Dangerous

Normally, conscious reaction functioned like so;

Perception -> Processing -> Decision making -> Reaction.

But Hever's mastery of teor Swing functioned like so;

Perception -> Muscle mory -> Reaction.

Of course, this was extrely difficult to accomplish. It took a long ti to build such imnse amount of muscle mory. rely general mastery of a technique was not enough.

This was the fruit of five continuous unhalted rigorous years of training with the teor Swing technique. The teor Swing was a counter-offensive technique, it was ant to be used when the user was attacked.

By practicing the teor Swing over and over and over against countless kinds of attacks, he had burned those motions into his muscle mory.

If soone threw a punch at his face, he no longer needed to think and react, his muscle mory rembered what to do when soone threw a punch at his face. The speed of subconscious sensory recollection and muscle mory was far superior to the speed of conscious cognition. Thus, he reacted earlier and there was no delay in his maneuvers caused by conscious reactive processing, because it had been replaced by the quicker muscle mory.

This was why, even though his motion and movent speed were limited, he was still able to perform extraordinarily quick maneuvers because his reactions and motions were not hindered by the tedious process of conscious cognition.

This was why he was able to keep up with Nel.

"That's unbelievable." Fae murmured, impressed.

"But why doesn't everybody do this?" Kane asked, frowning. "If muscle mory is this useful, why don't more Martial Artists take his route? Won't it make more sense to go down this route."

Rui shook his head. "In most cases, dedicating yourself to a single technique will lead to lower growth than mastering multiple techniques. The reason it's worked out so well has to do with the fact that the technique he picked covers everything; defense, offense and can handle a lot of styles as far as compatibility goes. Furthermore, it's a grade-nine technique as far potency and difficulty go. And finally... It has to do with Hever himself. His affinity and talent with that technique and counter-offensive grappling must be extrely high. All of these factor into why it worked out for him."

"I see..." Fae muttered as she turned back to the battle.

BOOM!

Hever threw slamd Nel onto the ground after intercepting yet another charge and swing.

BOOM!

BOOM!

None of the fighters could take their eyes off the battle. This battle was such a bizarre battle that they were sure they would never see anything quite like it ever again.

"Hever is tossing him like a ragdoll over and over." Kane said. "There's no way Nel can possibly win right?"

"I wouldn't necessarily say that." Rui disagreed, glancing back at the fight.

It was true that Hever was intercepting, defending and countering every attack while landing successful throws each ti...

"Nel keeps getting up faster and faster. Rui noted. "His constitution is strong. The damage he takes with each strike is not significant."

Nel wasn't getting faster, he was getting more and more used to the timing. This wasn't the sa as the VOID algorithm, which would have adapted than he did, but it was a result of the natural optimization capabilities of the human mind.

"At this rate..." Rui hesitated.

At this rate, Hever ndelieve would likely beco more and more disadvantaged. This wasn't his fault, usually soone with this level of durability and speed seldom existed. Nel was exhibiting a level of toughness that only Dalen could match while showing off speed that only Kane would surpass. Both of those were quite unconducive to Hever's Martial Art. Usually people did not last long enough to adapt to his Martial Art. Prior to fighting Nel, no one lasted for more than three throws.

But here ca Nel, with the durability to endure many strikes and the speed to potentially overwhelm the teor Swing technique once he grew completely used to the timing of the technique.

Suddenly, there was just the slightest change in the ring.

Just the slightest.

Yet because of the monotony of the match, not a single onlooker missed it.

​ "Mmrrg." Hever grimaced as he took a step back!

BOOM!

He still managed to successfully execute the throw.

But no one missed it

BOOM!

He had ceded even more ground.

Nel's grin widened at the sight as he threw more and more attacks in one direction, each forcing him to cede more and more ground in on direction!

Hever slamd him more and more, but his breathing had grown strained.

"His stamina is lacking." Kane shook his head. "He's going to lose this match, it's a matter of ti." Earning approval from the others.

Only Rui and Milliana frowned.

"This doesn't make sense." Milliana comnted. "It's too sudden."

Rui nodded, sharpening his eyes. "He went from pristine condition to tired in the span of twenty seconds? That's now how exhaustion works, it's linear with ti, especially when consumption rate of energy is constant like in this fight. If he's this exhausted right now, we would have seen signs of it five minutes ago."

Milliana nodded in agreent. "Also, his teor Swing is a technique uses the opponent's energy as well."

"Yeah, it's just a bit bizarre that he's already this exhausted despite that in such an abrupt tifra." Rui nodded. "Either he was born with strangely poor stamina or..."

"Or?" Kane echoed.

"Or he's doing it on purpose." Rui's eyes sharpened, even he found that hard to believe. What he didn't understand was why he would bother. After, weren't there only derits?

He was only ceding space, losing control of the center of the ring and reducing his own freedom. He was dragging himself to edge of the court for no reason. It would only increase the chances of a ring-out.

Suddenly Rui's eyes. "No way..."

If what he had co to suspect was true, then Hever ndelieve was even more dangerous than he had expected!
