And if he could control his ki like his own limbs...then mastering the Kaioken would be that much easier.

3 Months Later Inside the Time Chamber

"[Aura-Burning State!]"

SUUuuuu Su Su Su Su Su Su Su Su Su Su Su

An aura of ocean blue ki covered his form. But unlike before when the aura was like a violent fiery shroud, it now stuck to his form like an illusory curtain. Although his figure was vaguely visible, the blonde could keep most of his ki inside his body.

Igor inspected his form, his grin gradually widening.

"I feel like I can stay longer in this state for twice as long. And..."

He formed long aura sabres in his hands. Despite being in a state of constant erratic ki fluctuation, the aura blades still appeared solid with only a faint amount of aura emission. It was unlike the times when they were spectral and illusory in appearance.

But his purpose wasn't to train with aura sabres this time.

"I think-no... I'm ready now."

Dismissing his aura sabres, Igor clasped his hands together in a prayer gesture. He focused on himself, ignoring the fiery heat of the area he was in. Having been training for so long, a little heat could do nothing to his trained body, even if he was wearing nothing on his torso.

Despite standing under 4x the gravity of Earth, it did nothing to dull Igor's focus. The blonde focused on the flow of his ki and began to prod at it. He fully immersed himself in the feeling. He could visualize the flow of ki in his body in real-time. But as much as he wanted to enjoy the feeling, he knew he didn't have much time.

So forming metaphorical hands all over his body in the river of his ki, he began to hasten the flow of the ki running through his veins.

"Ack!"

But it was not a procedure without pain. With his veins having never had to endure more than the normal flow of speed, they underwent a sudden shock.

It was only through his arduous training that his veins quickly adapted to the sensation.

[If I had attempted this forty-no, thirty years ago, I would've crippled myself.]

He did not immediately double the speed of flow. Instead, it was a gradual process like how someone would slowly turn the volume knob up. The blonde slowly endured, and in return, he could feel a change in his ki. The reckless burning of his ki caused by the [Aura-Burning State] was being calmed. The sudden change in the flow of ki acted like a whirlpool that pulled in the aura of ki that was being emitted.

Igor could immediately tell how it was happening.

[This is like how water flows into the drain in the sink. The fast flow of my ki pulls in the emitted ki, allowing my body to gain a boost in physicality. But...I can't move like this.]

The faster his ki flowed, the heavier that Igor felt himself get. It was like his whole body began to grow sluggish.

But he expected that. It was a particular trait of ki that Nakamura highlighted in his book.

...

'While some have always wondered, there is a reason why the flow of ki cannot go beyond the body's capabilities. It is because the faster ki flows, the denser it becomes. The particles of ki cluster together under high speed, which makes them heavier. This is helpful for releasing long-range energy wave attacks since this prevents the attack from dispersing once it travels too far from the wielder. However, this same trait will slow down your body should you try to circulate your ki faster.
