Ivy folded her arms, then continued albeit calmer this time, but no less intense.
"As you know, a typical conduit works by binding with one's Core Being. That binding is what increases a martial artist's general star power."
Adam nodded once.

Without a conduit, the star power an average martial artist had would never be enough to face monsters.
"It's the reason a Martial or even a Profound Lord can use a dirty bronze-ranked conduit," Ivy continued, "and it would still add to their strength. A low rank limits the grade of conduit a martial artist can use, but remove that limitation and the binding itself amplifies star power regardless."
Adam watched her closely.
