The Divine Doctor's firm smack down of Rui's proposal was not unexpected.
Rui himself understood why the man said what he said.
The brain was not to be trifled with.
Other parts of the body were essentially clay to Rui, but the brain was different. If he messed with the brain and something went wrong, then he dwas oomed.
In his almost eighty years of life, Rui had only touched his brain twice. Once was with the mirror brain symbiote and the other was with Gigabrain, and even that wasn't directly touching the brain itself, but rather the blood-brain barrier.
Of course, there was also the Body Evolution Process, but that didn't necessarily count.
Or did it?
"During the Body Evolution process, my brain was utterly annihilated and healed back. And somehow, my consciousness was intact thanks to the Martial Path," Rui recalled with a curious expression. "So theoretically, can't I survive brain damage under very certain circumstances?"
