The Martial Unity

Now that Rui had decided to partake in the Virodhabhasa Martial Contest, he needed to make sure that he was properly equipped for it. Otherwise, he would not only not achieve what he needed to, but he would embarrass himself too.

Given that he had decided that Project Metabody needed to be completed before the contest began, he had a lot of work to do. One year was not a luxurious amount of time given the magnitude of the difficulty of the task that he had assigned himself.

He had developed the conceptual basis of the Hypertrophic Surge technique, the technique he developed to serve as his offense-oriented Martial Art.

Now he needed to develop a practical training technique for it, which was its own challenge. Injecting the Herenal's Virus into his body was not the hard part. That was actually the easiest part, the hardest part was training his body to normally release enough of the myostatin protein to ensure that there was little to no way that the Herenal Virus could cause his muscles to undergo rapid hypertrophy unless Rui allowed for it to happen.

He wanted to be able to trigger the ceasing of the production of myostatin so that the virus could quickly gobble the protein up and accelerate the growth of his muscles very rapidly due to that.

Normally, this would be quite challenging to do, after all, how could he possibly control the production of myostatin when it was or wasn't convenient?

It was only then that he came up with a solution to his dilemma. A technique that he had used in the past a long time ago. The same mental imprint technique that he had used to create the Hungry Pain technique.

The Hungry Pain technique was a technique that triggered autophagy every time the user felt pain, regardless of the will of the user of the technique after the training was complete every time they experienced hunger.
