The Martial Unity

Chapter 2180  Aftermath

Soon, a single body at the center of the combat battlefield was discovered.

The body of Rui.

Alive, even if barely.

One of his arms was missing, presumably vaporized by the heat.

His outer flesh was completely burned.

Yet, he was somehow still alive.

The Martial Master was rushed to medical aid as he was flushed with the highest medical treatments that the Panamic Martial Federation could muster. Many powerful treatments employing extremely rare and potent resources meant for life sustenance were immediately dumped into his body.

Many of these were reserved exclusively for Martial Sages. However, the Panamic Martial Federation decided to use them nonetheless. The youngest and most prodigious Martial Master in all of history could not be allowed to die or be crippled.

The Panamic Martial Federation deployed every single resource at its disposal to stabilize his condition as an entire department was put together simply to ensure he lived.

Meanwhile, word of what happened spread across the highest echelons of the Martial World and human civilization.

Master Rui Quarrier Silas Kandria was in a critical medical condition after using a forbidden technique that killed the assigned combat threat evaluator and put the entire headquarters at risk.

An extremely provocative framing of what happened, but, in reality, this was what the investigation department's investigations into the incident had revealed.

There was plenty of evidence supporting this conclusion. All the Martial Masters who were assigned to Master Rui's evaluation unanimously corroborated the story. Their testimonies confirmed that Master Rui had deployed some kind of heat domain that was comprised of some kind of fire from the very inception of the battle. Initially, the domain had been hardly problematic. It was only later that Rui had taken some inscrutable measures to strengthen his domain to a much greater degree, causing it to go out of control with an enormous spike in energy.

The result of this action was the death of his innocent sparring partner, Master Uma, a Master formerly from the Virodhabhasa Theocracy, as well as his own critical medical condition and the jeopardy of the entire headquarters of the Panamic Martial Federation.

The spectating Masters made many statements of the strange hostility that Rui had towards her from the very start of the battle that seemed to intensify across the entire battle until it culminated in him taking extreme measures to not just win the inconsequential sparring battle but also to kill his opponent.

Considering that there were no known ties between Master Rui and Master Uma, investigators could only conclude that Master Rui had lost his temper against the innocent Master Uma when he had found himself unable to overcome her great defenses.

From all available evidence, it appeared that the proud and arrogant young Master had a large ego that couldn't tolerate his inability to overcome the defenses of the guiltless Master Uma, causing him to go too far and employ what was clearly a forbidden technique.

The Panamic Martial Federation reassured everyone that while it would most certainly restore the young Master's condition to his peak, this did not mean it would let him go scott-free for his crimes.

The most shocking news was that the foreign affairs department of the Panamic Martial Federation confirmed that it would be pressing charges against Master Rui once he recovered from his critical condition.

Given how high-profile the incident had become, how politically important the suspect in question was, and how sensitive and delicate the geopolitical dynamics of East Panama were, the Panamic Martial Federation decided to go with full transparency, going so far as to release the statements collected in addition to other pieces of evidence gathered, including footage of the magnificent infant Sun that had emerged from the sparring facility before being snuffed out by a Martial Sage.

All of this sparked an uproar amongst the highest echelons of human civilization, especially since Rui was already super famous in the Martial World for his many accomplishments, his prodigious rate of growth, and his status as the Void Prince of the Kandrian Empire and the once de facto emperor of Kandria before the mysterious recovery of Emperor of Harmony.

For a week, this incident became the center of attention in the political sphere of the Panama Continent, even while the common folk continued life unperturbed. The forces of East Panama were most invested in the matter as a variety of Martial Artists, rulers, politicians, and organizations released many statements. [The Commonwealth Duchy of Vinfrana wishes Final Prince Rui a complete recovery and…]

[The Kingdom of Violis condemns Master Rui for his reckless actions that could have resulted in the harm of countless people…]

Nations within the domain of influence of the Kandrian Empire released positive statements, while those outside of it condemned Master Rui for his actions.

In particular, the other powerhouses of East Panama leaped at the opportunity to mount even more pressure, releasing long statements and making sure that everyone heard them. President Raymond himself spent an entire week in press conferences, using it as an opportunity to rile his voter base up.

The Britannian Empire cleverly used it as an opportunity to privately hasten the other two powerhouses into war rather than falling for the intelligence of the Emperor of Harmony. Meanwhile, the Sekigahara Confederate used it as a chance to slander the Kandrian Empire to prevent their detestable philosophy of harmony from spreading any further.

Yet, while many condemned Master Rui across the entire Martial Community and the political sphere, there were just as many Martial Artists who came to admire the extraordinary power that the young Master had demonstrated.

The technique, forbidden or not, was truly magnificent.

It was a young, ferocious rising star with immense power, much like its user. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

It sparked a wave of admiration as it functioned as Master Rui's debut as a Martial Master in the public eye, giving rise to a slew of monikers and titles as his Master title had yet to be decided. There was much contention on the matter as many of his old and new fans debated the matter furiously.

Ultimately, the world settled upon a single name.

Dawnbringer.
