Chapter 2111: Control Mastery

VMMM...!

In an extravagantly large isolated training chamber in Daracol, Rui meditated in absolute solitude, radiating intense Yin vibrations.

It had taken him more than a year just to reach a stage where he could generate a meaningful amount of Yin vibrations. It was a slow and tedious process. He had to gradually condition his mind to enter a state such that it would cause metabolic vibrations in cells indirectly through the endocrinological system.

Adrenaline and endorphins surged through his tissue, exciting his cells and causing them to accelerate metabolically, producing more vibrations.

He trained this very phenomenon with his domains and Sympathetic Death Lance, teaching his cells to vibrate hard enough to negate the incoming vibration with destructive resonance.

Most of them couldn't do that.

Thus, most of them died.

Over the span of a year, Rui engaged in a form of targeted physical evolution that involved improving his body by training with domains and Sympathetic Death Lance. Most cells simply did not possess the ability to generate such high metabolic vibrations; it wasn't their purpose.

The ones that could survived, and divided the most.

Those that couldn't, did not.

Over the span of more than a year, his body became increasingly able to generate vibrations of higher magnitude as it underwent multiple cell division and replacement cycles. Yet it was a maddeningly slow process that required immense attention to detail when operating his domains.

That was the reason that it had been exceedingly difficult, not to mention dangerous.

After more than a year of intense and uninterrupted effort, he finally crossed the first stage of the training plan he had created for Project Heavy Hitter.

Now, it was time to enter the second stage.

"Control."

This was what made Project Heavy Hitter particularly difficult. He had decided to shoot for the stars when he put it upon himself to master directing the Yin vibrations of the technique towards the point of contact, exerting the sum totality of the Yin power that he had generated in his attack with the intent of inflicting as much power as he possibly could.

While the Yin-Yang Shield focused on directing its power across the entire body without any particular direction, the technique he sought to create was offensive and thus needed to inflict as much damage as possible.

"Rgh." He gritted his teeth, straining with effort as he focused on directing the Yin vibrational energy in the direction of his desire.

It was much more challenging than he was hoping for it to be. One of the things he had begun doing was targeting different parts of his body with directed resonance from his domain, such that he could train his body to direct its Yin energy in any direction.

This was even more difficult than simply generating Yin energy.

If he didn't do it properly, he could end up injuring himself quite gravely. After all, the Yin energy that he generated was not necessarily friendly to him. It was a lot of power that could cause immense damage to his own body if mishandled.

"Fortunately, I have Flux Earther."

That technique was the reason that he felt confident enough to endeavor on this risky road. The technique allowed him to mitigate the damage by grounding the vibrations to the environment around him.

The technique's original purpose was to absorb impacts and then disperse them through vibration into the environment. Only when this happened could the impact be considered nullified.

It was even easier to apply the same principle to Yin vibrations. They were already of vibrational energy, making it easier to disperse the energy he generated from his cells through metabolic vibrations.

He closed his mind, feeling the Yin energy develop across the entire body. Each cell oscillated vigorously, contributing to the ocean of energy that spread across his entire Body. He needed to bring every cell in harmony.

Rather than a cacophony of noise, he needed them to play a symphony.

Only then could he gain control over such immense power. Until then, he would never be able to control the immense power that he managed to produce.

The most exasperating part of this particular part was that even this was merely the second step of several more to come.

Even if he mastered the direction of the Yin energy, he would still need to master destructively and constructively resonating with the Yang vibration of his external body.

After that, he would need to spend even more time mastering the application of destructive and constructive resonance in combat. "This... will take more time than I expected."

Developing techniques in the Master Realm was twice as hard as developing techniques in the Senior Realm. The reason was that there were more constraining factors that increased the difficulty of mastering the technique.

The technique needed not only to be synergetic with the Martial Art but also with the Body and Heart as well as the Martial Mind. Thus, techniques of the same caliber as those of the lower realm are simply developed with much greater difficulty.

It was no wonder that growth often stalled in Martial Masters. If developing powerful techniques required overcoming such arduous challenges each time, then Rui could completely understand why so many took so long to develop a single new technique.

Of course, Rui had no intention of stalling. Unlike many of his peers, he had the power of youth on his side, allowing him to overcome hurdles much better. This way, he didn't experience the spike in difficulty nearly as hard as others whose learning speed and capacity for growth were limited.

Still, despite that, he didn't think that his training time for this particular training could be shortened to how long his old training periods extended.

It all depended on how quickly he mastered the direction of Yin energy. Yet, with each hurdle he faced, he only grew more excited for the end product. The greater the difficulty of the path to attaining power, the greater the power to be gained. The anticipation and excitement spurred him on even harder.
