The function of the Restoring Enzy is to reverse the life cycle of nerve cells, causing the ford myelin sheath to decompose and degenerate, and fortified connections to revert to their initial state, with the concentration gradient of tal-based proteins inside the nerve cells redistributing.
Then, nerve cells that have returned to the initial stage will regrow in specific ways under the influence of hormones.
Eventually, this leads to the reshaping of the brain.
The Restoring Enzy can be considered a special “Command,” inserted into human life activities to guide certain hidden functions.
As early as the beginning of the 21st century, before “Argon” had reached the Solar System, humans had already learned how to reverse mature cells back into stem cells through genetic modification.
After “Argon” brought precious samples that allowed humans to begin decrypting the secrets of life, taking things a step further was quite simple.
The essence of the Restoring Enzy is to reset the human neural network back to its initial state.
If one controls the injection amount and location, it is possible to restore only a small part of the neural network at a ti.
But even with such control, it is still only an “attempt.”
Without having fully decoded the brain’s operating thods, it is inevitably impossible to precisely delete a specific part of mory.
In reality, after the injection of the Restoring Enzy into the brain, the person undergoing treatnt will quickly exhibit symptoms of amnesia, forgetting all past knowledge and mories.
In early records, even personality preferences could be slightly altered.
The formation of Soth Divine Realm initially began with the “Soth area,” which is responsible for linguistic functions, and eventually expanded to cover most of the brain.
If one wishes to acquire powerful Inner Strength, this step is a must.
In this process, it is normal to forget anything.
The reliable thod is to transfer the contents of the brain to a hard drive beforehand and use electronic devices to rember those things for oneself.
However, there are always parts that cannot be transferred.
For instance, most non-descriptive emotions are difficult to transcode without loss.
Another example is the part of external strength that involves “adaptation of the biological brain to algorithms”—this content only makes sense within a biological brain.
Once uploaded to a hard drive, it is of no use to a Martial Artist.
This was the problem faced by Hiroshi Matsushima.
He wanted to obtain Inner Strength; thus, he needed to change his brain first.
But as a centenarian, the information accumulated within his nerve cells was simply too vast, and perhaps a slightly higher dosage of the Restoring Enzy would be required.
The mory occupied by his external strength strategy is extensively interconnected.
A slight misstep could weaken his formidable external strength.
If he did not rely on the Restoring Enzy, an old man like him could perhaps make a swift breakthrough into the realm of command and linguistic realm, but the higher levels of mastery would be out of reach.
At such a level, he would only qualify for the lower ranks on the regional lists in Green Forest.
Even if he used the Restoring Enzy, no one could guarantee that Hiroshi Matsushima would surely make consecutive breakthroughs and reach the pinnacle.
The ranks in external strength are not particularly distinct.
If one seizes the opportunity during a fight, an ordinary expert can also strike a heavy blow to a more skilled opponent.
However, in the domain of Inner Strength, it is an actual step-by-step ascent, and higher authority completely overpowers lower authority.
“It’s not really interesting if you only achieve diocre mastery…I have such an obsession,” Hiroshi Matsushima said.
“Laugh if you want.
My life has always been ordinary, and the only thing I’ve ever been proud of is this external strength.
I can’t bear to part with it, even if I miss out on other opportunities.”
The head sneered: “Is that really what’s in your heart?”
“Yes, is there a problem?”
“Just two days ago you were inquiring about so young heroes in Jianghu,” the head said.
“I thought about it and realized that two of them are from around here, probably your disciples, right?”
“Among the apprentices I’ve trained, not one lacks the ferocity of a Houndhawk,” Hiroshi Matsushima said, throwing the syringe in his hand into the waste bin.
“I’ve also been employed by the governnt.
To inquire about forr students is to care about my boxing technique, to see if those people have let it go to waste.”
“Here you go again, always insincere,” the head sighed.
“We grew up together since we were kids…
You were such a normal guy when you were young, how co you turned into such a stubborn old man as you aged?”
Hiroshi Matsushima grunted and sat down against the wall opposite the head.
Few people knew that Hiroshi Matsushima had a younger disciple.
That was more than a hundred years ago.
Back then, the Master of the Iron Block Style Dojo had taken seven direct disciples, and Hiroshi Matsushima was the second eldest.
Among the other brothers, so left for other cities.
So set up their own martial arts schools, so got involved in the gray economy and built up gangs.
Two others ventured to the Arctic Circle to beco heroes ninety years ago.
Of those seven disciples, nowadays only Hiroshi Matsushima and Jader Awamon, who later joined the Redstone Gate and beca known as the “Instant Explosion Solo-Kill King,” remained.
Two old n.
Seeing his elder disciple sitting opposite him, Jader laughed, “You know, you shouldn’t say you just want to quietly run your dojo.
Those patches on you probably didn’t co through legitimate ans, right?
Heh, you still keep so guarded against your junior disciple?”
“If I didn’t keep my guard up, I might have been subdued by your technique of witnessing and then set you free,” Hiroshi Matsushima said.
“See, wasn’t it useful?”
“`
“Install this patch for your visit and then uninstall it after you leave, to prevent those governnt officials from noticing sothing.
The chipped patched-up, just blend it in with the extra Martial Arts plugins you carry around with you, right?” Jader laughed, “You’re being too cautious, excessively so.”
“Those who aren’t cautious enough are all dead,” Hiroshi Matsushima said indifferently.
“Isn’t it because Miss Six infiltrated your Redstone Gate that many of your Sect mbers have died off one by one?”
His head fell silent for a mont at the ntion of this.
After a while, he ventured, “Senior brother, just lend that spare Prosthetic Body of yours!”
Hiroshi Matsushima had always used only one Prosthetic Body, but there was a spare one in this basent.
He almost never used this Prosthetic Body in front of outsiders.
And half a year ago, it was with this Prosthetic Body and its removable facial components that he had managed to disguise himself and save Jader.
“I’ve secretly saved up just this one over many years,” Hiroshi Matsushima said.
“I’m counting on it for my retirent, so how can I give it to you?”
“There you go again…
Aren’t you going to properly manage your Martial Arts School?
This Prosthetic Body can’t enjoy life, and its combat performance is almost identical to the one you’re using now.
It’s clearly ant for concealing identity, for doing things that can’t stand the light of day,” Jader said.
“Lend it to to use.”
“I need to keep it for my retirent.”
Hiroshi Matsushima rejected him again.
The two fell into silence for a mont.
Suddenly, Hiroshi Matsushima spoke up, “By the way, I have so good news for you.”
“What good news?
Did you find my fellow Sect mbers?”
“No,” Hiroshi Matsushima shook his head, “Miss Six, Deborah Zhao, is probably dead.
I can’t confirm the news, but all indications point to that.”
Jader perked up, “How do you know?”
“One of my students worked under Miss Six,” Hiroshi Matsushima said.
“He was killed by a Hero, and before he died, he asked that Hero to deliver his Martial Arts Algorithm to .
That person is highly skilled in Martial Arts.
Hamr was doing the work of a guard, and if he’s dead, it’s most likely that Miss Six didn’t survive either.”
“I’m afraid that Deborah Zhao’s Inner Strength was even greater…
That little ****…”
“That person’s Internal and External Skills are unbelievably high,” Hiroshi Matsushima said.
Jader humphed, “You don’t understand Inner Strength.”
Hiroshi Matsushima didn’t share the details about his “mystery friend” with his Junior, nor did he explain how strong that “mystery friend” was compared to Xiang Shan’s display.
“Senior brother, lend the Prosthetic Body.
I want to go find that Hero.”
“Don’t even think about it.
We’ll talk when your Martial Arts have fully recovered,” Hiroshi Matsushima said, shaking his head.
“If it weren’t for my tily treatnt, you might have lost most of your skills.”
The head sighed at length.
“The number of Heroes in the vicinity is increasing,” Hiroshi Matsushima said.
“Last month, one of the four Tax Officers under the Lord, Bernini, was slain by a Hero.
Then the Lord’s son took over that spot temporarily, and I heard he also encountered a Hero.
Additionally, it seems like sothing happened to a Welfare Officer.
Plus, Miss Six…”
“The Arctic Ocean and the New Continent have always been areas less frequented by Heroes.
Ever since that old Hero arrived, various forces have erged,” Jader said.
“I wonder if there’s anyone from Redstone Gate among them.”
“I’ve inquired for you, and there’s no one from Redstone Gate among those acting openly,” Hiroshi Matsushima shook his head again.
“But lately there’s been a shift in the gangland powers in the city, yet it differs from the usual ans of Jianghu individuals.
Maybe so survivors from Redstone Gate are there, licking their wounds.”
“If that’s true, it would be great,” Jader said.
“But those who stayed in Pine Eagle City, apart from the one who previously returned Hamr’s Experience Accumulation, seem not to be very strong,” Hiroshi Matsushima said.
“There’s no force that can overturn Pine Eagle City for the ti being.”
“Of course.
Those capable have all gone further south to support the old Hero.”
Hiroshi Matsushima nodded, “I hear it’s in chaos there.
The Lord plans to use a force with an absolute advantage to encircle, and to exterminate all the Heroes that have gone there, bit by bit.”
Jader said fiercely, “They definitely won’t succeed!”
Hiroshi Matsushima didn’t say much more, just sitting opposite his Junior.
…………………………………………
Xiang Shan climbed up to the 70th floor of Yangxi Building.
Including Pine Eagle Building, this was the third skyscraper he had ascended.
Each ti, he added different disguises to his body to conceal his identity.
He was here to survey the terrain.
After making a round, he had roughly morized the surrounding topography.
“The bottom hundred floors under Walnut Wood Building are sothing like a civil service center, with no reason not to enter easily.
The iyii Building, on the other hand, serves as the base for the Scientific Knight Order, and its guard level is not at all on the sa tier.”
“As for the rest…
Do I have to make up the difference myself?”
