The Martial Unity

Chapter 2314  Commenced Training

Rui immediately dove into Project Megamind after he finished his consultation with the Gatekeeper. That was the name that he designated for his current idea that he was determined to see through to the end.

The Gatekeeper had allowed Rui to get a much better idea of his constraints and risks. While the Divine Doctor possessed astronomically more knowledge, Sir Armstrong was able to leverage five centuries of experience to understand the practical hurdles and challenges that Rui would be able to overcome in Martial Art training.

This allowed Rui to skip a lot of redundant testing phases that he would have otherwise needed to learn what he got from the man.

Project Megamind involved two phases.

The first phase was general conditioning for several parts of his body, including but not limited to the circulatory system, some of his internal organs, and, most importantly, his heart.

He planned to go beyond ordinary conditioning and apply regenerative conditioning that relied on healing potions for a more powerful effect. It would ensure that absolutely nothing could go wrong on the battlefield when he used the technique against his enemies.

The second phase involved applying the breathing and muscle techniques that the Gatekeeper had developed to redirect blood to any body part. Once that was done, he would have completed the technique and would only need to gain some combat experience with it. "Man, it sure is convenient modifying techniques to suit your needs."

Had he tried creating the technique from scratch, it would have taken much longer than it was shaping up to. When creating techniques from square one, he needed to create literally every part of the technique from the very beginning to the end, all by himself. Of course, there were massive benefits to doing so.

He often ended up with extraordinary and revolutionary grade-ten techniques that leveraged high principles and were deeply synergetic with him or his Martial Path. However, that didn't mean that it was the only way to obtain such techniques.

He knew that when it came to techniques, he was the exception rather than the rule. Most Martial Artists relied on modification rather than on creating new techniques from nothing because it was just easier. Most of them found it difficult to create techniques from scratch and considered it highly impractical, if not impossible, to develop one's Martial Art that way. And he couldn't blame them.

Modifying pre-existing techniques to suit them was far more convenient. They could use pre-existing foundations, saving them the difficulty and effort of creating new ones each time.

Furthermore, considering that Martial Art had become the dominant force in the world with thousands of Masters, hundreds of Sages, and thirteen Transcendents, it was hard to say that this approach was flawed. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Still, Rui preferred creating his own technique from scratch a majority of the time. He had access to high principles that the rest of the world simply did not, and it helped him satisfy the individuality conditions needed to break through to higher Realms much quicker.

It was one of the reasons that he broke through to the Senior and Master Realm as quickly as he had. He had imbued his Martial Art with a monstrous amount of individuality with each grade-ten technique he created all by himself.

In this case, however, he didn't feel the need to try and create a different principle to empower his brain cognition. It was just pointless to do so. In the first place, he had gotten the idea to apply the principle to his brain, so the objective fundamentally included the technique that the Gatekeeper imparted to him. "In this case, I'm far more interested in the outcome. I can't wait to master and apply this technique in the war."

He immediately began with the first phase of the technique.

He inhaled deeply as he tightened a variety of muscles while relaxing the rest, causing a major pressure imbalance across his Body.

Instantly, he could feel the heaviness that one felt with high blood pressure in certain parts of his Body as his circulatory system tightened, experiencing greater pressure from both inside and outside.

The initial parts of phase one would be slow but would ensure that he gained a strong foundation in handling and resisting the blood pressure increases from the blood flow manipulation technique that the Gatekeeper gave him. A few months would go into just that. Only after he built some measure of normal conditioning resistance to the blood pressure could he go with higher forms of conditioning.

"Fuuu…"

He heaved a deep breath as he could sense the blood in him relocating to different parts of his Body. The parts of his Body that received a massive influx of blood experienced a burning-like sensation.

As well as a surge of power.

If not for the fact that the former was to be expected according to the technique booklet that the Gatekeeper gave him, he would have been concerned.

He felt his left arm weakening with discomfort while his right arm felt more alive than ever, allowing him. "Amazing…" Rui murmured as he studied the effects. "I'm just doing the basics, but it's already so good. How good will it get once I master blood flow manipulation?"

He couldn't know. Yet, the possibilities excited him. It was possible that his cognitive power would soar so much in his Mind Metabody that he could accommodate even more systems of thought than before. Perhaps he could even return to creating new systems of thought that were exclusive to his Mind Metabody.

The possibilities were endless.

Even without the super risky and extreme version of the Mind Metabody that he was determined to get in the future, he could still experience a truly tremendous surge in the cognitive power of his newest Martial venture.

All other thoughts and matters disappeared from his mind as he immersed himself in the training regime, having completely forgotten about both his sect and the war that continued to rage on in the outside world.
