Rui had very specific ideas regarding what directions he wanted to explore.
The Yin-Yang Shield had earned his fascination and his awe.
Perhaps it was not the objectively best option that was at his disposal.
But it didn't matter. Even if there was an option out there that would have yielded a better return on investnt, he had already decided that he was going to pursue this particular avenue.
"Vibrations…" he pondered out loud.
It was a phenonon that he had long grown familiar with.
Many of his techniques were based on it in so way or another on vibrations.
His Mighty Roar Flash Blast technique was inherited from the G'ar'arkan Tribe to the Reverberating Lance that he had mastered from the database. He had also developed a large number of his own vibration techniques from scratch.
Techniques like Sympathetic Death Lance and its cousin Death's Sympathy, Transverse Resonance, and domain techniques like Sonic Singularity, and even his most recent developnts like Muspelheim and Niflheim made sophisticated implentations of vibrations.
In other words, he was deeply familiar with applying it as a principle in his techniques and Martial Art.
That was why he was also confident of being able to crack how the technique worked and apply it in a manner that would not only supply him with an offense that was not only powerful but synergized extrely well with his Martial Mind.
Of course, the Yin-Yang Shield was a technique that utilized vibrations to an extrely high degree. So much so that Rui could confidently say that none of his prior techniques in that regard could match it.
It was a technique that utilized constructive and destructive resonance to achieve results that would be otherwise impossible. It was unfortunate that he did not have access to the super secret training technique of the Gen Temple. He was truly curious what exactly the Sage-level powerhouse had actually done to make the otherwise difficult technique easy to master.
Regardless, he was certain that he would have to toil to ensure that he was able to realize the technique.
It was nothing out of the norm for him.
"I have already nailed a part of the technique down…" he realized. His mastery of Reverberating Lance ant that he could probably skip one step of the training process.
"But Reverberating Lance isn't enough," he mused. "I need to master the internal vibrations that Master Vertol used."
The issue was that he didn't have a fully clear picture of precisely what Master Vertol did to produce the internal vibrations while using the technique. This part alone was difficult enough to be its own technique worth of training.
And that would just be the preliminary. He would then need to apply his mastery of internal and external vibrations to master constructive and destructive resonance.
"Leave it to a grade-ten technique to be difficult."
Regardless, he was confident that he would be able to reach that part as long he mastered internal vibrations.
"I'm not entirely sure of what comprises of the sources of the internal vibrations."
He was fairly certain that the diaphragm was a part of it due to observing the patterns in Master Vertol's technique. Yet, there were additional sources of vibrations within the body that could serve as potential power sources of the technique.
"Cells," he murmured, growing more engrossed in his line of thought.
All cells vibrated and oscillated with an inherent tabolical frequency about them. These vibrations were produced as a result of the tabolism of the cell; they were the product of the exothermic reaction of each cell producing energy that it needed.
In other words, it was leftover energy that was naturally wasted due to inefficiency on a biochemical level.
"What if I could tap into the power of each and every cell?"
It was a novel idea.
Of course, in a sense, it was already true.
The human body made use of each and every cell for an umpteen number of reasons. However, what if the Yin-Yang Shield made use of the tabolic frequency of each and every cell?
Rui was unable to conceive of any other source of energy that would explain why the Yin-Yang Shield technique was as powerful as it was.
After all, the power of the diaphragm and that of the muscular system was routinely utilized in techniques. If it had just been those two, then the Yin-Yang Shield technique would not be as powerful as it was.
Thus, Rui was able to infer additional sources of energy that empowered the technique.
He postulated that it had sothing to do with the tabolic vibrations of each cell for several reasons.
"It's a source of the sa kind of energy that the technique uses."
That was the reason he strongly suspected that the Yin-Yang Shield techniques were derived from this untapped source of power. It would also be the third source of power in his vision of Project Heavy Hitter.
Or, at least, he would do his best to ensure that it worked out that way.
"I'll need to dedicate an entire phase of the training session to this part." He frowned. "I have absolutely no idea what the model of the technique will look like."
This was unusual because, normally, the principles and chanics of the technique served the broader technique template. This ti, however, Rui had already decided on the underlying principles of the technique without actually formulating the broader frawork.
It was a bottom-up approach that ran contrary to his normal top-down approach.
Yet, he was still firmly certain of his choices.
"Now the question is how I am going to use the 'Yin' and 'Yang' vibrations to form an offensive technique."
He wanted his technique to have a lot of innate offensive power, which was taken care of by the fact that the technique's source of power was what made the Yin-Yang Shield technique so powerful.
Secondly, he wanted the technique to have a powerful synergy with his systems of thought to elevate its effective output to a higher dinsion of power.
