Chapter 1459 Control

"Other Martial Masters take a lot of pride in it. It's a sign of the ascended. The hallmark of the Master Realm...But if you ask me, it ain't that big a deal," Master Zeamer snorted. "It's just a passive hypnotic effect on the minds of lesser beings. It works the same as an illusionary hypnotic technique that I showed you, but passively, and only on Martial Artists of the Lower Realms."

"A passive illusion?" Rui's eyes narrowed as his mind flashed into action processing the new and old information he had. "I see. I understand the truth."

"Sharp as always," Master Zeamer chuckled.

"Illusionary techniques work by misdirecting the consciousness, and then using non-verbal communication to manipulate the subconscious mind which is extremely susceptible to external suggestions," Rui's eyes swum around, immersed in thought. "If Martial Masters are able to generate illusions in the minds of the beholder, then that means that they are going through the same process. A number of inferences can be made."

"You said it was passive and caused by the Martial Mind," Rui mused. "That means that the Martial Mind is impacting the body's non-verbal communication in the same way that image embodiment impacts non-verbal communication in a hypnotic technique. The Martial Mind impacts the subconsciousness in the same image embodiment does. That's why it generated the necessary non-verbal communication to manipulate the senses into seeing an illusion. But in order for that to happen..."

Rui's eyes narrowed.

"Go on," Master Zeamer encouraged with an amused smile.

"For that to happen, it would mean that the Martial Art of Martial Masters is so captivating and eye-drawing that it distracts the conscious mind so much that it leaves the unconscious mind open to manipulation to the non-verbal communication caused by the Martial Mind. But that's just absurd."

"Is it?" Master Zeamer asked. "It's just the natural progression. The Martial Art of the Upper Realms is truly far beyond human limits, both mentally and physically. They are said to have ascended humanity. That is why such a thing is possible." nOve(lb-In

Rui raised an eyebrow of skepticism. "I see."

"You said you came here to use my Martial Embodiment as the image embodiment of your misdirection techniques, correct?" Master Zeamer thoughtfully considered it. "That's actually quite the genius idea. My Martial Embodiment is suited for such a purpose."

"Then..."

"But... I once saw a fight between Martial Masters escalate to large environmental damage. And I don't think either of them was particularly scale-oriented," Rui frowned.

Master Zeamer narrowed his eyes, as a knowing glint flashed in his eyes. "Then one of them must have been actively trying to cause environmental destruction on purpose."

Rui frowned his eyes swum around, immersed in thought. "But which one... and why?"

The Master shrugged. "That's for you to figure out. Do you need anything else from me?"

"No."

"Then scatter, from here on out, I must seclude myself in my grand bedroom for some...domestic matters." The man couldn't hide a lewd smile arising on his face.

Rui heaved a sigh, facepalming. "I didn't need to know that."

He bade the Master goodbye as quickly as possible before returning to his meditation chamber.

'Alright, let's revisit the juicy data I collected.' Rui accessed his Mind Palace excitedly as he gathered the distributed pixel data, creating a video of the Martial Embodiment of Master Zeamer.

The sheer weight of a Martial Master as powerful as Master Zeamer allowed the image embodiment to pressure Rui's mind a lot more than Master Uma's blade of wind ever had. It confirmed to Rui the sheer superiority of Martial Masters like Master Zeamer.

'It's a shame that I never got to see Master Reina's Martial Embodiment,' Rui realized. 'It was just never relevant.'

Considering that the Martial Embodiment reflected the Martial Path, her Martial embodiment would probably not be flashy at all.

'In fact, it might draw attention further away from her, rather than to her, After all, a flashy Martial Embodiment is a liability to an assassin.' Rui mused.

She would be an incompetent assassin if she draw massive attention each time she used her full power.
