The Martial Unity

Chapter 751 Classified

For example, simple misdirection would be way more effective against almost all of them based on the intelligence that he had bought from the Martial Union. The kind of tactics that he would never use against an adult human because humans were intelligent enough to see through blatantly obvious tactics unless they were mentally challenged.

Thus Rui could be a lot less stringent on the quality of his tactics as long as he was cautious and careful despite that.

Though he highly doubted their lowered intelligence alone was enough to develop a technique that allowed him to be extremely effective against them by itself.

(ʼWhich means I need to exploit the fact that they have somehow integrated esoteric substances into their bodies.ʼ) Rui concluded.

This would require some research on Ruiʼs part. One thing he needed to was gathered more detailed information on the esoteric substances and compounds that the beasts had ingested, turning them into monsters.

If he was not wrong, then there likely was something about these esoteric substances being in their blood that he could exploit to use against them.

STEP

That was why he was currently standing before the Martial Union, once again. He needed the data they had on the esoteric substances that were abundant in the Shionel Dungeon and in the monsters of the dungeon as well.

He quickly headed towards the Martial exchange counter after having passed the security check-ins.

”Excuse me, but I would like to purchase esoteric material science information and data on the following esoteric substances and compounds,” He addressed an employee before handing her a list of the following substances and compounds.

She took the list, before turning to him.

”May I see your Martial license, sir?”

Rui obliged, before receiving it back after she verified his identity.

”Unfortunately, this will take some time to confirm and procure, some of the data you have requested, while within your confidentiality clearance requires some due processing regarding approval,” She informed him.

Rui sighed.

He had half-expected that. When it came to information that wasnʼt related to Martial Art and also around strategic matters, it wouldnʼt be so easy to gain access to information.

Just based on her reply alone, Rui had inferred that the esoteric substances and compounds that were highly abundant in the Shionel Dungeon were probably quite important significant, and were of strategic importance.

Basically, he was probably asking for something close to the equivalent of data and information on radioactive isotopes and their applications. Such information could allow one to develop nuclear technology which was detrimental to the one providing the information.

Thus, he wasnʼt necessarily surprised when he learned of the restrictions.

”Thatʼs unfortunate, how long will the process take?” Rui asked.

”It should happen within twenty-four hours, sir,” She informed him. ”We will notify you if and when it is approved and you will be able to access the information through your accounter,”

”I see, thank you,” Rui sighed before taking his leave.

(ʼThe first two projects are a little stalled by the delay of information, but itʼs fine, I need to dedicate time towards the third project as well, after all.ʼ) Rui noted.

Project Keep Up With Kane was not going to be easy. Kane was extremely fast, even if Rui could not match his top speed, he needed to at least be able to keep up with Kaneʼs run.

(ʼA technique that improves my travel speed is definitely worth it,ʼ)

Currently, his top speed was born from a combination of Wind Breathing, Outer Convergence applied to run, and Parallel Walk, which he had managed to naturally adapt to the Squire Realm over the years. It was one of the first techniques he had ever learned and it had been with him for a long time.

Yet even these three techniques were nothing but slowpokes compared to Kane, he needed an extra technique that, together with the others, would allow him to keep up.

He also had the advantage that his body was more mature in the Squire Realm due to having spent more time in the Squire Realm, though Kaneʼs Martial body is dedicated to speed and motion countered that advantage. That left the comparison of techniques, where Kane would still win when it came to travel speed.

(ʼI need to figure out the general nature of the technique,ʼ) Rui mused. (ʼUnfortunately, in this case, I donʼt think my mental faculties can possibly help me.ʼ)

This was because running was not a mentally strenuous or demanding activity, thus there was really no area for his mental faculties to shine.

(ʼThatʼs a shame, but my mind isnʼt the only thing special about me,ʼ)

He had also inherited his scientific background from his previous life. This wouldnʼt be the first time that heʼs developed a technique centered around a scientific principle that wasnʼt known yet in this world.

(ʼStill, what principle can be applied here to create a maneuvering technique?ʼ) Ruiʼs mind brushed through his scientific acumen, which took a lot of time due to how much of it he had.

(ʼMaybe something from human anatomy or physiology?ʼ) Rui frowned.

Unfortunately, the relevance of his knowledge of human physiology and anatomy had lost a lot of its value ever since he had become a Martial Squire and had become an evolved human being.

Unfortunately, the fact that he was no longer a homo sapien meant that he could not entirely apply the knowledge he had on homo sapiens to his body. At the very least, he needed to extensively test whatever it was that he hoped still applied to his body. Because any project based on human biology had a chance of failing miserably due to how evolved past human limits his body was at this point in time.

It was a shame because there were a lot of cool techniques that he could think of at this point in time that could work really well with the human body with the experience that he had with creating new techniques. He found it to be a real shame.
