The Martial Unity
chapter-1090

There were many elements in this world that were beyond that of his previous life, they were things that Rui sometimes had trouble adapting against because the VOID algorithm couldn't account for.

('Martial bodies is definitely one of those,') Rui sighed.

Because superhuman physicality did not exist on Earth, the VOID algorithm was often stumped when it came to adapting to some truly outlandish things. For instance, he knew that the VOID algorithm was often stumped when it came to adapting to such things. In such circumstances, he usually substituted for it with his own judgment which had worked out alright, but it was not ideal.

('If I do add a new system, it has to be based on a new parameter of my combat that can be optimally adjusted to be best able to handle my opponent.') Rui mused as he considered the matter deeply.

The systems of the VOID algorithm were essentially all ways by which he could maximize the adaptation of one aspect of combat, regardless of what it was. One of the simpler systems was the one with which he decided what kind of stance he would take against his opponent to have the best starting position to deal with them.

Another System was based on range evaluations and would allow him to model his responses most aptly depending on the range that his opponent operated from.

They were each centered around one, and only one element per system.

Thus if he wanted to add a new system that would allow him to adapt to his opponent better, then he would find ways to deal with it.

What that meant was that he needed to find an element or a parameter that could be altered or changed to adapt to his opponent, one that wasn't normally adapted.

"Hmmm…" Rui narrowed his eyes as he gave it considerable thought.

He had given this same matter a lot of thought in his previous life many times, it was what led to the creation of many of the systems of the VOID algorithm. He had long hit a dead-end in regard to this matter back in his previous life.

However, in this new life, in a world with many new possibilities, he did see hope to add new systems to the VOID algorithm and make it more powerful.

Still, it wasn't necessarily easy just because it was possible.

He needed to continue going through the many new elements that existed in combat in his new life, that did not exist in combat in his previous life. Then he needed to explore the capacity for adaptation of those parameters to an opponent.

('What aspects of Martial Art combat did not exist in my previous life?')

Several answers immediately came to mind.

The first one, of course, was the Martial Path.

The Martial Path was the fundamental and foundational element that truly separated Martial Art from martial arts. Without the Martial Path, the martial arts of this world would be identical to the ones from back in his previous life.

('But it's not adaptable or changeable,') He shook his head.

His Martial Path was adaptive evolution, but that did not mean that his Martial Path itself could change to adapt and evolve to his opponent.

It wasn't as though he could change his Martial Path from adaptive evolution to evasive maneuvering like Kane's when he was facing a Martial Artist whose weakness was evasive maneuvering.

His Martial Path was rock solid and absolutely could not be changed or altered in any way.

The Martial Path was a reflection of the very being that the Martial Artist was in a sense. It was unique because people were unique.

It was not something that could be altered to adapt to his opponent.

('Nor is it something I would want to change even if I could,') Rui snorted.

He immediately ruled out that possibility.

The second possibility that came to mind was the Martial body.

The evolution of the human body through Darwinian natural selection of cells was something that expanded the potential of the human body to be astronomically greater than it normally was. It also molded the body to be in line with the Martial Path of the Martial Artist for maximum synergy.

Its spec configuration was unique from person to person, just like the Martial Path was, because the Martial Path was.

('It too cannot be cha-') Rui paused, furrowing his eyebrows as a thought entered his head.

He almost remarked that it couldn't be changed, yet that wasn't entirely true.

The spec configuration of a Martial body was not as inviolably constant as the Martial Path was.

('The Godspeed technique forcefully exhales mass from the body rendered unnecessary after squeezing it for extra energy,') Rui mused. ('That turns the body into quasi-speed oriented Martial body temporarily.')

It meant that the spec configuration of the Martial body was something that could change in practice, and if it could change…

('Then it can be changed to be adapted to my opponent,') Rui's eyes widened in shock.

He had just come across a realization that he had never even considered before. Yet… It made sense. There were ideal spec configurations to deal with any given Martial Artist or opponent of any kind.

Thus being able to alter his spec configuration towards the most ideal spec configuration would mean that he could adapt to his opponent by changing his body!

It was a revolutionarily shocking idea that truly broke apart any norms or limits for adaptation that he believed he was inescapably subject to. It was so simple, yet it was absolutely game-changing!

If he could realize this to be true, then it would probably be the case that this was the single greatest breakthrough in regards to the VOID algorithm since the creation of the pattern recognition system!

('No… This new system has the potential to surpass the pattern recognition system in regards to how effective it is in regards to adapting to his opponent in combat.')
