Chapter 1365 Training

He was sure that the difficulty of the circumstances would push him to develop a powerful technique, and it appeared that he was right. He still hadn't found a solution to all of the problems, but he knew he was thinking in the right direction.

If things went right, he was bound to be one of the most remarkable sniper Martial Seniors out there. 

As Rui worked on the technique across days and weeks. He had to admit that part of the reason why it felt like he hadn't created a technique in a long time was partly because it had been a while since he purely felt the joy of developing his Martial Path.

The power was great, but expanding his Martial Art's capabilities was something that he truly enjoyed, especially when he got in the groove and started building momentum up. Regardless of whether this technique would be enough to take out all of the assassins that he was targeting or not, he looked forward to the result regardless. 

However, he did hope that it would be enough for his purposes. 

Several weeks of pitch training eventually allowed him to master identifying frequencies and generating them himself. The world of Gaia had developed its own music scale based on different systems and mechanics as the octave scale of Earth. However, it didn't really bother him since he had never had a music background back on Earth.

The pitch training was the easy part, unfortunately. The hardest part was identifying the innate resonance frequency of his targets. However, it was more complicated than that.

Human and Martial Bodies were not uniformly made up of a single substance. They were constituted of a myriad of compounds and substances in different layers of the body. Even if he focused on the head alone as a target in typical sniping fashion, there were still three different layers of matter before one reached the brain.

Flesh, bone, and cerebrospinal fluid. Each of these layers had a different innate resonance frequency. Thus a single frequency was not enough for all three layers.

'I'll have to master using Transverse Resonance to stuff three different frequencies in layers within a single attack.' Rui tutted. 

This made his task more complicated, but still quite viable all things considered. That was the reason that he was still quite confident. 

All he needed to do was get the layer that wrapped around the brain to vibrate hard. Vibrating objects generated force on other objects touching them. As long as he could get the cerebrospinal fluid to vibrate, it would naturally crush the brain with Squire-level force.

That was game over even for Martial Seniors.

'So not only do I need a way to detect the multiple innate resonance frequencies of my target, but I also need to generate all those frequencies simultaneously.' Rui narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

Furthermore, Martial Bodies surely had unique frequencies. The reason for this was that there was much greater anatomical and physiological variance amongst Martial Bodies than amongst normal human bodies.

Detecting frequencies did not have to be as difficult a task as he needed it to be. He could scout his target ahead of time to generate sounds of all frequencies near his target and notice which one his opponent's skull responded to. 

Or he could do the same thing from a distance using an extremely soft attack from a long range away, both solutions were viable to his plans. He was not too concerned about the fact that the two of them required preparation ahead of time.

Assassination as a practice generally involved immense preparation, so this was par for the course. The most difficult targets probably required more preparation than Rui imagined. He was getting off easy by relying on powerful techniques.

Still, he had his own target that was going to be quite difficult to cleanly eliminate, so he was sure he would experience firsthand just how difficult it was.

'Regardless, I'm reaching the difficult part of the technique.' Rui mused. 'I need to immediately get to mastering stuffing an attack with three frequencies in layers.'

And he did. 

It was more difficult than he had hoped. The biggest issue was rapidly ensuring constructive resonance between three sound pulses while also making sure they had the right frequencies, while also ensuring that the aim through the ODA system was perfectly fine. 

The ODA System was a burden in and of itself, although he had gotten smoother and increasingly proficient at it over the years, it still did not reduce the difficulty of the task. Transverse Resonance was also mentally burdensome, ensuring that multiple sound attacks were just timed right and each fast enough to constructively superimpose on each other to form a single wave was not easy.

Now, the issue of getting the frequencies right was yet another burden, and it was perhaps leaning towards being too much. At the very least, he would need a lot of practice before he got it right.

THWOOM

"Tsk," Rui tutted. "Aim and constructive resonance were fine, but the frequencies were wrong."

THWOOM

"Damn, the frequencies did not overlap well."

THWOOM

"Got it tight, but it's taking too long. I won't have such a luxurious timeframe all the time."

The fact of the matter was that there was an additional burden which was the moving target. Which meant he also needed the VOID algorithm to create a predictive model of his opponent.

All in all, he had several months of work ahead of him before he reached a stage where he could execute it properly. Rui wasn't particularly concerned about spending a lot of time on the training. He wasn't under a harsh due date where he needed to begin paying his debts immediately.

He had six years and then some, which meant he could take his time in developing tools that would also be useful against Chairman Deacon.

He wasn't too concerned about his commission payment to the Beggar's Sect. By the time he mastered this technique, he would be quite a capable assassin.
