Ascending Journey

His conversation with his father was relaxing.

The man knew not to pressure his son for an outcome that could not be guaranteed. Instead, he appreciated Rui for everything that he had done up until now.

It certainly helped Rui feel better.

"Do what you can."

that was his father's message to him before their conversation ended.

Rui heaved a deep breath as he began preparing for the Transcendent Prophet.

He didn't wear any fancy Martial attire offered by the grooming teams that had been arranged by him. 

He didn't feel the need to. 

He didn't think fashion and aesthetics would contribute to gaining the acknowledgment of the Martial Transcendent. 

Thus, he simply donned a clean set of his standard Martial attire, one with the insignia of the Kandrian Empire embroidered on its chest as well as that of the Water Sect. These were the clothes that he had worn in the past two and a half years, traveling around the Panama Continent.
