Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 538 Promotion of Martial Arts Applicable to Free Citizens

With the direction established, the next step is to develop specific methods.

What's the simplest way to create a big news story?
Of course, it's about targeting the right audience and finding the right people to reach.

Which group of people do I need to win over?

After pondering for a moment, Yarrow wrote down two words on the paper:

[Free Man] and [Official Knight]

The free people desire power, but have no way to achieve it.

As for becoming a formal knight, it would be more in line with Aro's own interests.

After all, any move that a proper knight can use and that is useful, Aro himself can certainly use as well.

Is it possible to create a technique that works for both groups?

This is the ideal situation, but regardless of whether this goal can be achieved, we must first analyze the pain points of both groups.

After all, Yaro's primary goal was to broadcast martial arts.

The 'moves' designed to address this objective must first and foremost be easy to disseminate.

Only by touching the sore spots of both groups can the 'tactics' be kept from being buried.

What are the pain points of free people?

Without a way to become stronger, without enough financial resources, and even struggling to make ends meet, there isn't much free time.

"So, how should we design our moves to counter the free citizens?"

Clearly, free people do not have the means to cultivate themselves gradually.

"Therefore, it cannot be the 'Tao' that requires long-term cultivation, but should be the 'technique' that can be used immediately."

"But the problem is, given the physical condition of free citizens, what kind of 'techniques' can they use?"

No, that's not right!

It's not like we're asking free people to unleash the power of formal wizards.

They are physically weak, but the opponents they need to defeat cannot be very strong either; as long as they can defeat their opponents, that will be enough.

Once you learn it, you'll become stronger instantly. Isn't that enough?

How can we quickly give people combat power, at least the ability to launch an attack?
Based on the situation faced by the free people and their eagerness for quick success, Yaro quickly thought of a kind of 'martial arts' mentioned in the storybook of his previous life.

—The Heavenly Demon Disintegrates!
While it's impossible for Yaro to directly create a 'martial arts' of this level, that doesn't stop him from considering it.

The freemen are physically weak compared to the regular knights; they do heavy labor every day, so their muscle strength is actually not bad.

Therefore, by leveraging this foundation of power, one can unleash normal, or even far beyond, power in a short period of time, which could potentially defeat one's opponent.

"The Disintegration of the Heavenly Demon" is the direction.

What theory needs to be applied to achieve this goal?

Yaro thought of another substance.

—Adrenaline!
Many people know about adrenaline and its effects, but many don't know just how amazing it really is.

You could say that if the King of Hell wants you to die at midnight, he can keep you alive until dawn.

When adrenaline is released, it can make people ignore any abnormalities in their bodies and unleash several times their full strength!

This is hysteria, disregarding the consequences, seeking only a momentary burst of power! So, how can one unleash this power within the body?

Only with great love and great hatred can one overcome the body's limits and unleash adrenaline beyond its bounds.

Yes, that's only a possibility, not a guarantee.

The two ways to truly ensure release under normal circumstances are external injection and self-hypnosis.

"External injection is definitely not feasible. As for the second method... isn't that just like those charlatans who shout 'I am invulnerable to swords and bullets'?"

This method also has precedents in previous history, such as the legendary Yellow Turban Warriors and the "divine strikes" of the Boxers in modern times.

"The Boxer Rebellion's 'divine strikes' and 'I am invulnerable to swords and spears' have almost become a joke. But since they were so widely spread at the time, they must have had some effect. However, they still couldn't transcend the limits and didn't fully open the body's safety valve."

This also shows that simple self-hypnosis also has its limits. Otherwise, if everyone could really push their limits, not to mention how many people would die suddenly, it wouldn't be so easy to suppress them at that time.

After all, given the technological limitations of the time, it wasn't necessarily possible to defeat a strongman whose entire crew was fearless of death.

"What if we combine this with external methods to stimulate the body to secrete adrenaline? Would the effect be even better?"

It is known that adrenaline is produced by the hypothalamus stimulating the pituitary gland to produce adrenocorticotropic hormone, which in turn stimulates the adrenal medulla to secrete adrenaline.

So, is it possible to use a method to directly control one of the processes with consciousness, thereby exceeding the body's 'safety valve' limit to produce adrenaline?
It is theoretically entirely feasible.

It has been verified in previous lives that acupuncture has a bidirectional regulatory effect on the function of the adrenal medullary system.

The effect of stimulating vitality is certainly no less than that of acupuncture.

"Blood Frenzy" already has the effect of automatically accelerating the heartbeat; now it's just a matter of changing the target.

Moreover, there's no need to worry about the entire process of adrenaline activation. Just refer to the construction process of "Blood Frenzy" and directly change the target to the adrenal medulla, the terminal structure that produces adrenaline.

"With the extra knowledge the system gave me when I learned and mastered 'Blood Frenzy', and referring to the ideas I just organized, I'm almost able to construct the skill book for 'Heavenly Demon Disintegration'."

However, that's not enough, because the cultivation method created based on "Blood Frenzy" is definitely no less difficult to practice than "Blood Frenzy".

Free people certainly don't have the time or the means to complete collective spiritual practice.

"What method is there that allows us to use it directly without cultivation?"

Looking back at what I wrote before, I found a key word.

—Acupuncture!
"Yes! Only by using a method similar to acupuncture to directly stimulate the body can the conditions for free people be met!"

"Furthermore, the literacy rate among free citizens is low, so the methods of mobilizing them must be simple!"

Therefore, direct acupuncture is not an option because it requires too much precision in acupoint selection and is too difficult to learn.

But this is indeed a direction.

"If I could actually find a few acupoints that could stimulate adrenaline, wouldn't punching those acupoints a couple of times have some effect?"

Although the method of self-stimulation seems silly, acupuncture stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system can affect the release of adrenaline, and external stimulation should also have a similar effect.

But this comes with a prerequisite—you need to find these acupoints first.

Because if you want to take this step, you must build on the previous step.

In other words, knowing how to stimulate the kidneys with vitality can enable the adrenal medulla to release adrenaline more effectively.

Only by knowing this can we find the corresponding location where external force is applied.

Otherwise, it might require two skill points, just like "Blood Frenzy".
