The Martial Unity

"Don't worry." Rui grinned. "I intend to tackle them and more."

"Uh huh," Kane stared at him skeptically.

Rui sat down and began fleshing out the concepts of his new idea for a technique.

The objective of the new technique was dual. He needed it to be able to help him read the memories of the catoblepas and give him more intelligence on the Divine Doctor so he could find the madman and get him to heal his father.

This was more immediate and urgent.

Secondarily, he hoped the technique would allow him to read the inception of intent that occurred within the subconscious mind.

He would rather not compromise on either objective. Thus, he needed a technique that perfectly catered to both of them.

Memory and intent were not neurologically comparable phenomena. The former could be characterized as neuron pathways formed by neuron plasticity. The latter was the set of electrical impulses that were to be sent from the brain to the rest of the body through the central nervous system.

This made the development of the technique to read both of them trickier than if he focused only on one. However, it was not unsurmountable.

"The subconscious mind is the avenue of the inception of intent, and while memories do not originate in the subconscious mind exclusively, they can be read through the subconscious mind in a trance state as long as the person believes that they are actually experiencing those memories in real life."

It was the same principle as the Phantomind Void.
