The Martial Unity

Chapter 756 Palace Sections

He had spent quite some time absorbed in his thoughts regarding the esoteric scientific data that Julian had given him. While Julian did go through some effort in contextualizing the scientific jargon of this world to help Rui understand, it was still an immense amount of data. Even if he stored it in his Mind Palace, that merely got rid of the need to constantly access the documents.

Though, with his sophisticated application of the Mind Palace technique, there were definitely plenty more advantages. Martial Art techniques theoretically usually didnʼt have an absolute upper limit to proficiency and degree of mastery, and the Mind Palace definitely fell into the category.

Of the few Martial Artists that had completely mastered it, their application of it was limited to simple and straightforward storage, and nothing more.

However, this was not the case with Rui. Ruiʼs mastery of the Mind Palace had reached a level that was entirely uncharted by human cognition in the history of Martial Art.

He didnʼt just merely store data. He distinguished, organized, and categorized data extensively.

The size of his Mind Palace had now gone from just being the size of the Martial Academy that it was when he first mastered it to becoming as large as the town of Hajin. He had divided his Mind Palace into many different sections.

The first Section was the chronological section. Any and all important and significant data was organized in order of his learning of it, he also made sure to document the time and place of learning said data as well. This helped him remember what happened when and where.

The second section was the same data but organized into categories surrounding their topics. For example, the information that he had just mastered fell into the esoteric material science category and the gravitational category that overlapped with each other at the avenue in his Mind Palace where he had stored the information.

The third section was by lettering so that he could access words and sentences as long he knew just a little about them. He had ʼtaggedʼ the information in this section with the tags of the categories they were in, in the second section.

The remaining sections had to do with different types of sensory data, as well as records of his own internal thoughts among other things.

This was a level of application of the Mind Palace technique that turned his mind into a quasi-computer. It was a level of mastery that no other being on the continent would even be able to begin to fathom.

It was one of the reasons he excelled at data processing and management in his previous job. There were times when both the diplomatic and intelligence teams had grown utterly bewildered by his cognition.

Yet, while all of this was useful, it was not helping him make much progress on things like progressing with his projects beyond these benefits. The core progress needed to be done.

Still, he felt that it was very convenient, especially when he was gobbling down even more information regarding Project Monster Repellant.

This time also, he was processing the information that he had purchased from the Martial Union to assess whether he could exploit the fact that these esoteric substances were present in their body with a technique.

These creatures were not evolved to handle such strange and bizarre substances running through their body, Rui was sure that there was some way to use that against them.

What he was specifically looking for was violent, or unstable reactions that could potentially be applied to stop them.

”Hm?” His eyebrow rose as he came across something interesting.

[Grocher Iron when coming into contact with heated Sentiol Gust leads into an exothermic and exovolumetric reaction where the Grocher Iron reactant expands instantly and rapidly. Its volume tends to increase by a factor of a hundred in less than a millisecond. This is suspected to be due to the…]

His eyes lit up with interest as he tagged the information as a potential solution to developing an offensive technique that was extremely effective against the monsters of the Shionel Dungeon, and added it to the appropriate section of his Mind Palace.

By scouring through the noted reactions of esoteric substances in contact with other reactants and in different circumstances, there was a wealth of data on all of these esoteric substances.

(ʼWell well, this search is going easier than the search for appropriate esoteric substances for Project Eyespy,ʼ) Rui noted optimistically.

He was glad. He had thought that after how difficult and troublesome the search for appropriate esoteric substances for Project Eyespy was that this would be just as difficult, but it turned out that this wasnʼt necessarily the case.

(ʼWell, the theory of General Relativity is much harder than basic and elementary chemical reactions,ʼ) Rui smiled.

With this, he had taken steps for all three projects within the first week of officially beginning them. He suspected that these projects probably wouldnʼt take as long as the projects that he had done when he first broke through to the Squire Realm which led him to create Flux Earther and the Pathfinder techniques.

(ʼIt probably wonʼt be too long before Kane and I are ready to undertake an adventure in the Shionel Dungeon.

(ʼHehe… I canʼt wait,ʼ) Rui smiled as he quickly assimilated the information that he had purchased from the Martial Union. What he was truly looking forward to was the actual implementation and practice of the techniques whose blueprints and conceptual functioning he will have fleshed out. He was already doing so with Project Keep Up With Kane, but that technique was much more ordinary and grounded to Earth compared to the remaining two techniques that he intended to create. Practicing those two would require a genuine amount of hard work and perseverance, probably even more so than the Flux Earther technique required. He suspected that both projects would yield something tremendously important and valuable to the world as long as he saw them to the very end.
