The Martial Unity
chapter-2309

Once the idea was planted into his head, it was impossible to get rid of. It bloomed into a full- blown plan that refused to allow him to focus his attention in any other direction. It

demanded his full attention.

He could not do anything else until he got to the bottom of this idea.

Suddenly, all his determination to rush to a battlefield melted away as an even stronger desire took the initiative.

"Thank god for the manifold."

Without it, he wouldn't have been able to have his cake and eat it.

It was now possible for him to train a new technique before he headed out to the battlefield to reinforce an ally.

Wars lasted years. An additional month of waiting was not going to deprive him of the most important parts of the war, nor was it going to make a major difference in the experience that he would be gaining from the battle against the alliance.

"I have time for an additional technique project in the manifold," he realized.

He was confident that he could achieve the goal in the span of fourteen months, especially when he could consult people who were experts in the field in which he was going to create his new Metabody technique.

The Gatekeeper had created the technique, of course. Thus, his input on the matter was vital. Another person that Rui was resolved to get input from was the Divine Doctor. Perhaps he could have the man's medical supervision when testing out the most risky and dangerous parts of the training exercises.

The addition of a new Metabody technique represented an improvement to the system. While he had made it more powerful after he broke through to the Master Realm, that was more due to the fact that he upgraded his stamina in general.

This, however, represented an expansion of the system rather than a fundamental general improvement.

There were many benefits to additional brain function beyond just improving his greatest asset. For one, this Metabody System was most useful when he was in the circumstances with an overload of information.

He had recently been in such a circumstance.

War.

One-on-one, Rui had absolutely no problem abusing the VOID algorithm, the SOUL System, the Angel of Laplace, the Tree of Life, and the ODA System, as well as all of his hypnosis simultaneously without even the slightest shred of mental strain.

However, what if he faced two opponents?

Or three?

Or a whole group?

It became difficult to run these highly data-intensive systems of thought for many Masters at the same time.

Rui recalled how he had almost died on the battlefield just due to the fact that his mind was flooded with information. He desired the ability to be able to better process such circumstances more than anything. Although he had done a good job with diversifying the technique systems in his Martial Art, his strong suit was still thought.

It was about time that he was able to empower his capacity for thought significantly. He had been operating at base-level capacity for quite some time, and although his Martial Mind was powerful, it was not enough in highly mentally intensive circumstances.

"And since I know that I'm going to be subjecting myself to highly mentally intensive situations, then..." his eyes narrowed, "it's worth it to be able to mitigate that burden."

This was especially the case when he knew that his enemies wanted to kill him at all costs. He needed to be able to react quicker and better in times of distress, or he would end up getting himself killed. There was no better way to adaptively evolve to the chaos of war than to gain the mental power to see through it all.

He immediately began piecing together a technique framework around his newest idea for a technique. Thankfully, despite being a rather novel idea, both the technique principle and end goal were already decided.

By regulating internal pressures in different parts of his body, he could redirect blood flow to any specific part of his body-in this case, the brain-and improve its performance. In this case, almost the entirety of the technique framework already existed, requiring very little input.

This was perhaps not the most individualistic project that he had set out on, but considering the sheer number of techniques that he was prone to creating from scratch, it was not that big a deal. He hadn't forgotten that modification was one of the more common forms of imbuing one's Martial Art-it wasn't bad for him to indulge in it every once in a while.

Every once in a while, there was a technique that was truly suitable for him even though he hadn't created it himself. All they required was basic finetuning for his needs.

"In this case, though, it requires more than just basic work." He frowned.

The biggest challenge of this technique project was technique safety.

If he could guarantee that it was as good as a success.

In turn, it meant that the safety hurdle was truly hard to overcome. If anything was even minutely off-track, it could mean permanent brain injuries.

The brain was the hardest part of the body to heal; neuron tissue was the most difficult because neuron tissue did not possess inherent regeneration capabilities. On top of that, even if tissue could be regenerated, the underlying information it had couldn't be. It was one thing if they were in a controlled procedure like the Squire evolution process, but if he was just using a technique in battle, then any mistake could be damning.

He needed to ensure that he mitigated every ounce of risk before he began using it. If he were to rely on himself, he was sure that he could figure something out in the long run that would allow him to overcome these risks.

However, he didn't need to figure it out by himself, not when he had people he could rely on to help him solve this hurdle.
