Explosive Start

A night passed as Rui got the sleep he needed. In reality, he was so excited for the battle tomorrow that he needed to self-hypnotize himself to fall asleep. 

That night, he dreamed about Amare.

He dreamed about fighting her, of course.

By the time he woke up, he had all but forgotten about it, immediately freshening himself up and preparing himself for the battle.

Eventually, it was time. 

Bodhisattva Maitreyi had sent a monk to guide him to the Central Chamber of the Gen Temple, where the battle was due to take place. The Central Chamber was an enormous section at the very core of the Gen Temple that had been reserved exclusively for Martial Artists of the Upper Realms.

Everywhere else, the Martial Art training section was not segmented away from the rest of the populace. However, the same couldn't be done with Martial Artists of the Upper Realms.

Because of Martial Embodiments.
