Chapter 2308: Exciting Possibilties

?

In the past fourteen months in the manifold, Rui completed everything that he had set out to complete. He created a course that would thoroughly expose Martial Artists of the Water Sect to the concept of Adaptive Evolution.

A philosophical foundation would allow them to utilize other fields and apply them to adaptive evolution.

He actually considered it one of the most important things that he could impart to them if their goal was to pursue Adaptive Evolution.

He also created guidelines and rules of thumb that, when mastered, would allow Martial Artists to take a systematic approach to the development of new techniques. Starting from laying out the desired objective with extreme clarity and establishing the conditions that needed to be fulfilled to achieve said objective.

He sought to impart to them the methodology of how to conduct research into unknown territory and how to make progress, teaching them the Martial equivalent of the scientific method.

Once they mastered this, their ability to modify and create their own techniques would increase, and they would be able to imbue individuality in their Martial Art much more easily than before.

It wasn't easy creating foundations for the various sub-fields of Adaptive Evolution that he had already created for his Martial Art.

However, he managed to do so.

He began by creating highly flexible and general introductions to the core principles of fields like hypnosis and domains. With the philosophical foundation that he would have imparted them with, they were more than qualified to explore the fields themselves and slowly learn to apply them for the sake of Adaptive Evolution in a manner that was compatible with their strengths and Martial Art.

He even came up with a more general introduction to thought techniques like the voidlet techniques for Martial Artists who were inclined to thought and were capable of greater cognitive burdens.

He was sure that he would get some Martial Artists like K'Mala, who had simply needed a single push to get her to break through to the Master Realm ten years later. Looking at her, he couldn't help but wonder how many Martial Artists were out there with untapped potential when it came to thought techniques.

Considering that Adaptive Evolution was one of the core elements of Martial Minds, he would be deeply foolish to not offer a good foundation in this regard. He even created material that would allow Martial Artists to learn and practically apply statistics to Martial Art.

These were all good enough to serve as preliminary foundational materials that the Water Sect would offer to its Martial Artists. The Diviliers team kept up with his very desires, ensuring that the designs of the various training resources that he had commissioned met his expectations.

However much to his surprise, it wasn't the thought techniques that interested him the most.

No.

In his case, the sub-field that interested him the most was actually physical Adaptive Evolution.

The Gatekeeper's technique was absolutely perfect for his needs.

The man had shrewdly understood exactly what Rui required and why he had come to him in particular and had given him exactly what he needed.

So much so that Rui's fascination for the technique grew beyond just its role in the Water Sect.

The technique adjusted the physical configuration of the Body by supplying more blood to some parts of the Body while supplying less blood to other parts. The parts of the Body that received more blood performed better due to access to more oxygen and nutrients, while the parts that received less blood performed worse.

It did this by applying higher internal pressure through the muscular system of the Body. If more pressure was applied to the arteries and veins on one side of the Body than the other, then by the very nature of fluid dynamics, the side with lower pressure would receive more blood.

It was a fascinating mechanism that allowed the technique to serve as a lesser version of the Metabody System, and more importantly, it showed Rui possibilities that he had never considered before.

"Can I increase the performance of my brain using this technique?"

It was an almost insane question.

Yet, Rui was unable to dismiss it.

The idea he had arrived at in his mind was rather simple.

More blood meant more oxygen, more nutrients, and a quicker waste disposal system, which in turn meant much better performance. Then surely, the same thing could also be applied to the brain.

He would need to find a way to reduce the pressure on his brain while increasing the pressure on the arteries and veins in the rest of his Body. But if he could do that, he could find a way to increase the amount of blood flow to his brain, thereby increasing the performance of his mind and Martial Mind.

Of course, that understated the risks of the matter. He would need to be exceedingly cautious.

It was his brain, after all.

There wasn't a more fragile and delicate organ.

Certainly, no other organ is more important.

"I'll need to consult the Divine Doctor on the matter."

It was too risky for Rui to get into matters relating to the brain without adequate safety. Even the slightest mistake could get him killed or turn him into a vegetable.

Ordinarily, these risks were too high.

However, the prospect of enhancing his greatest asset, his brain, was something that he was unable to resist. It was a deeply tantalizing possibility that he felt the urge to immediately jump in.

His raw talent for Martial Art, the kind that Kane and Ieyasu had, was average. It was his mind that made him special; the memories he had inherited and the second cognitive boom of an adult mind were the reasons that he was one of the most extraordinary Martial Artists that the Age of Martial Art had ever seen.

What would he be capable of if he could enhance his greatest asset?

What would he be capable of if he created a Mind Metabody?
