The Martial Unity

If he could diversify his Martial Art while also learning techniques he had an incredible amount of compatibility with. This would allow him to master higher-quality techniques with much less effort compared to normal techniques of the same amount of power.

Once he reached the mental section, he took a good long look at the techniques. He recalled running into many of the techniques he was seeing. In his previous training stage, he had given all of them a glance, however, dismissed them because he was looking for something very specific. Back then, he was looking for a mental technique that could help him use the pattern adaptation system of the VOID algorithm revolving around the predictive and adaptive evolution models.

Now, he had approached them with a significantly different mindset. He wanted something that give him additional capability rather than augmenting existing capabilities. It was the exact opposite mindset to the one had last time.

He began seeing techniques he didn't pay much attention to before.

It could be used as a strategic deterrence via a bluff of being even stronger than one actually was to lower one's guard by appearing harmless despite being a Martial Apprentice.

At higher levels, it could be used to hinder an opponent by inducing an immense amount of fear and paranoia, causing one's opponent to perform sub-optimally. Mastering it to this degree was anywhere between a grade eight or nine as far as difficulty went.
