Chapter 2582: Insights and Reflections
When Rui woke up, he knew exactly what had happened.
He would normally be momentarily lost and confused after waking up from a long nap, but this time he had complete clarity on his circumstances and situation.
"I'm so fucked," he groaned. "They're going to flay me alive."
And they wouldn't be entirely unjustified, either.
He had messed up.
He had messed up big time.
In his defense, he hadn't the faintest idea that such a thing would happen.
However, when he had finished conditioning his blood-brain barrier to the very limit and had activated the Gigabrain technique in excitement, he had simply lost control.
It was as though his conscious mind had simply lost control of the steering wheel.
"No, it was deeper than that," Rui murmured. "It was as though even my conscious mind was cooperating. It was one of the deepest trances I have ever been in my entire life."
In that moment, he had just felt the urge to adaptively evolve.
He had felt the urge to Be Water.
He had felt the urge to embody and fulfill his Martial Path.
And thus, he had simply found the closest target to fulfill his urge against.
That had just so happened to be Sage Himari.
That was all that had happened. When activating Gigabrain, he had simply been turned into an adaptive evolution madman.
A deep sense of excitement and motivation filled him as he looked forward to cultivating even more Adaptive Evolution.
His attention shifted more specifically to his latest development, the Gigabrain.
Its power truly exceeded his wildest expectations and yet, the same could be said for its consequences.
The sheer amount of power that the brain received appeared to have the indirect negative consequences of self-hypnosis.
Normally, self-hypnosis required a lot of effort, even for Rui. And yet, when he had entered the Gigabrain technique, he had spontaneously self-hypnotized with the sheer power of his thoughts. From the looks of it, the self-hypnosis had been centered around the one matter that consumed most of his mind: his Martial Path.
"When using the Gigabrain technique, it's almost as if..." A faint murmur escaped him. "Almost as if my Martial Path takes over."
It was truly an astounding claim that was nonsensical on its face.
And yet, Rui couldn't help but believe that the persona who had assumed control during the hypnosis was the person he truly was.
Just observing himself in Gigabrain mode felt like it could potentially accelerate him to the Sage Realm with the insights he gained into the core of who he was that was normally hidden deep inside, having only temporarily come out during the trance.
"Damn, I have no way of confirming that, either," he cursed with a hint of frustration.
Only time would tell. He would surely know the answer if he broke through to the Sage Realm.
But if he was right, then it truly begged the question.
"What is the Martial Path?"
It was a question he had asked many times, but he had no idea. It certainly appeared to be the case that nobody else understood what it actually was.
CLACK
The sliding doors in his compartment opened as a maid entered, bowing to him.
"Prince Rui, the clan leaders have sent for an urgent summon for you."
