Chapter 2388 A Bit Too Strong

"Isn't his Highness a bit too strong these days?"

In a combat arena inside the training manifold in the Kandrian Empire, several Masters exited together upon the completion of a long and extensive sparring session. Despite their exhaustion, their eyes were lit up with a wave of fresh news that had just reached their ears that very day. "I mean, don't get me wrong," Master Ceeran continued. "He was always strong. But one hundred Masters?"

It was truly shocking news to almost every Master who heard it. Master Ceeran had just returned from the G'ak'arkan Tribe in time to learn about the news upon the very day of his arrival.

"It isn't nearly as surprising as it is shocking," Master Zentra calmly remarked. "His Highness' new technique was something truly special. Just based on the demonstration and testing that he conducted here, I knew that when he first debuted it on the battlefield, it would send ripples across East Panama."

Several others nodded along in agreement.

It was a truly shocking feat.

Yet, they weren't surprised that it was the young Master who had accomplished it.

"It's a damn shame I wasn't there to see it." Kane grinned with excitement. "I bet those alliance Masters didn't even know what hit them. They must have been struggling to know how to deal with him in the first place."

"You're expecting too much of her," Master Sera disapproved. "She is already at her limit as far as her prophetic work goes. She is indeed a Martial Sage, but she is already using her predictive power for the battles being fought across all of East Panama. On top of that, she is keeping tabs on the Britannian Empire's prime minister as well as the enemy Sages. She cannot afford to spend every second looking after Rui. I have heard that the Emperor is making use of truly powerful Sage-level resources to increase her productivity in exchange for more longevity potions for her clan."

In other words, the Celestial Seer could not be counted on to do more than she already was doing; she was an overworked resource.

In addition, the Eye of Prophecy was primarily a combat-oriented technique; using it for things outside of combat increased the consumption of energy and the liabilities. "I'm not concerned about enemy Sages getting their hands on Rui," Master Zentra replied. "We have entire coordinated departments whose sole purpose is to track enemy Martial Sages. Even without the Silas Matriarch, it should be impossible for a Martial Sage to kill Rui without us ever foreseeing it. What I'm concerned about is if the alliance gets their hands on a Master who is able to kill him. His Highness is acting carelessly and excessively riskily at the moment in hopes of accelerating his enlightenment of self."

That was a more grounded concern.

However, it was difficult to imagine any Master in East Panama possessing the power to kill Rui.

"His Martial Path and Art are too potent," Maser Ceeran reassured them. "They're probably the highest grade that any Path has ever been. I don't think even the Silas Clan's specialty is a match for his Martial Art. In fact, now that I think of it, has there ever been any Martial Artist who could rival him when he reached the peak of a Realm?"

It was a pertinent argument, one that all of the others found quite convincing.

Only one person seemed to have a different thought in mind.

"I can think of one." Kane's surprising words drew their attention.
