The Martial Unity

While Kane broke into a cold sweat at the prospect of being a test subject in the R&D process of Rui's technique projects, Rui continued to flesh out the technique.

To read the subconscious mind, he would put his victim in a trance where the subconscious mind had greater primacy over the body, conveying greater amounts of information through non-verbal communication.

To put them in a trance, he would need to apply hypnosis, distracting his opponent's conscious mind and awareness to leave their subconscious mind exposed. And then, he had to implant the classic hypnotic suggestion of sleep. Of course, this would not cause them to actually sleep, but it would put them in a minor trance where their subconscious mind's influence and control were magnified.

This was normally impossible due to sensory stimuli keeping the conscious mind active, which, in turn, could be mitigated by using a domain to kill sensory stimuli, making it easier for the conscious mind to be dimmed in its primacy.

Thus, the technique would require a domain-hypnosis hybrid technique to put the mind into a trance, as well as an intent-pattern recognition system of thought to then create an intent-evaluation model allowing him to read the intent conveyed through non-verbal communication.

As such, the technique blueprint was divided into two parts: the trance-induction half and the intent-evaluation half.

The former required a domain-hypnosis technique. This was an extremely novel endeavor as far as Rui was concerned.

Domain manipulation was extremely rare. Even in the Kandrian Empire, with a whopping one hundred and fifty Martial Masters, there was merely a single domain-oriented Martial Artist.

Mind-oriented Martial Artists were not nearly as rare but were certainly far from frequent or common.
