Chapter 1904 Project Telepath

The very prospects of entering the Master Realm had grown more attractive with his earlier considerations. Rui had an inherently high quality of thought. Once his conscious mind grew large and gained the quantity of thought of the Martial Mind, he would probably reach levels that he could not even begin to imagine.

For that, he needed to develop his Martial Mind and system of thought beyond his limits so that when the time came, his consciousness could expand beyond its current limits, encompassing a larger part of his brain. It would serve as an operating system for the newly annexed parts of the brain, while the Martial Mind would serve as combat software.

He shook his head. "I have no idea how close or far I am."

The creation of a latent Martial Mind was something that normally took decades, sometimes even centuries. Furthermore, Rui had long been informed that his path to the Master Realm was much harder than that of his peers. Thus, it was difficult to be optimistic that he was close.

If that was it, then he could be certain that he was still far from reaching the finish line; however, the fact that he retained the VOID algorithm in his memories after reincarnating made it difficult to understand how near he was to his goal because of the immense headstart he had gotten.

The VOID algorithm had taken him decades to create and refine in his previous life. Thus, in a sense, he had already fulfilled a solid part of the journey to the Master Realm in his previous life!

"Whatever," he muttered. "I will break through when I break through."

Agonizing about it was not going to help. If he had time for that, he would rather work on his Martial Mind and actually put in effort into getting closer to his goal.

His attention immediately returned to the matter at hand.

"I need to give this project a new name," Rui contemplated. "Hmmm...how about Project Telepath?"

It was good enough as far as he was concerned.

He quickly began working on the first half of Project Telepath. The domain-hypnosis hybrid technique that would allow him to successfully put his opponent in a mild trance mid-combat was the first hurdle that he needed to overcome.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

The underlying principle of sensory input influencing levels of conscious activity was also relevant to hypnosis. The moment he got the domain to largely cut off all sensory input, the propensity of a person's conscious mind to reduce in awareness and activity to enter a trance was much higher.

"Naturally, it's impossible to cut off all sensory input," Rui admitted. "Otherwise, I could just ambush them in the darkness. However, I can get rid of a substantial amount."

He immediately began dissecting the sensory input-blocking mechanisms of the domain technique. It was possible for him to manipulate the air such that it became opaque. He could even significantly hamper sound and scent to a great degree. However, at the Senior Realm, that was not enough to hamper his opponents in combat at all.

That was just enough to allow him to misdirect them using Phantomind Void and his three-dimensional image of Master Uma and then convey a simple suggestion to the subconscious mind.

Sleep.

Of course, he didn't expect them to sleep. But a mild trance was definitely achievable and the desired objective.

"Alright, now I just need to get down the heaven-bending and earth-bending to nail the domain blackout," Rui uttered, activating a breathing technique as he began manipulating heaven and earth with breath-bending.

He had some ideas of how to go about the blackout.

The sound, odor, and touch parts were well within his ability to sabotage.

However, cutting off light with air alone would require not just physical density but also optical density. The latter was new. He would need to spend a lot of time developing mastery over the manipulation of optical density to cut off light entirely.

Thankfully, he had the perfect teacher for manipulating optical density.

He glanced around at the Valley of Prisms with a smile.
