"Perceptual Training Method."
That title struck Chen Mu dumb as a wooden chicken, as though he had been struck by lightning.
Perception!
Good heavens!
It was a perceptual training method!
Chen Mu felt as though he had been swallowed up by ecstasy, with an overwhelming happiness tightly surrounding him.
His hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his brain was a mess, as though something had suddenly exploded in his brain, making a buzzing sound.
Chen Mu didn't know how much time had passed before he felt as though he were gradually retreating from a dream.
But his feet were as soft as if he were treading on clouds, and he couldn't help mocking himself that he really was a rookie who hadn't seen the world.
It was no wonder that Chen Mu would be so ecstatic. Ever since he had learned to make one-star fantasy cards, perception had become his biggest bottleneck.
Unfortunately, not to mention the low-grade goods circulating in the market, even the slightly better ones among these low-grade goods were not something he could afford.
The most advanced training methods in all of the Heavenly Federation were in the hands of the six great academies, and Chen Mu didn't think he had the talent to get into one of them.
As for some of the smaller sects, although they had some pretty good training methods, which of them didn't view them as treasures?
Either they wouldn't pass them on to anyone except a direct disciple, or they would have to pay an exorbitant tuition fee to pass them on.
Even the Eastern Wei Academy's signature "second stage breathing method" wasn't something every student could learn.
Trying his best to sort out his confused brain, Chen Mu started to read the information on it word by word.
Just by reading the first two sentences, Chen Mu knew that the method recorded there was who knows how many times more advanced than the common goods he had bought before.
He read every word on it hungrily, even greedily.
By that time, everything had been thrown to the back of his mind, and he didn't even feel the pressure from time to time in the water.
Chen Mu hadn't found this perceptual training method until he had finished reading it.
Chen Mu thought to himself that the nameless method of being buried in history was a pretty good gimmick.
The perceptual training method recorded on the screen was very peculiar. Of course, Chen Mu hadn't seen any other methods, but he thought it was peculiar because that kind of perceptual training needed to be done in the water.
Skimming through it in its entirety, even with his shallow knowledge, he understood that the method in front of him had absolutely nothing to do with gentleness.
The water was a very unique environment, where a person's body had to bear pressure from all directions.
And that pressure would increase dramatically as the depth decreased.
Furthermore, under the influence of water, a person's movements would become very slow.
This method was to make use of the harsh underwater environment to stimulate one's potential.
Generally speaking, training one's perception required a quiet environment, but in the simple water world where all kinds of torrents were flowing, it was extremely difficult to maintain a still state.
Training perception required a medium. For example, the medium Chen Mu had previously used was the one-star power card he had made himself.
But in that set of perceptual training methods, the medium was water, the water that was tightly surrounding Chen Mu!
With pressure as the stimulus, water as the medium, and a unique breathing technique, this was the core of this training method.
With such a violent method, if it were anyone else, they might have hesitated for a while, but Chen Mu didn't hesitate in the slightest.
In his opinion, this level of danger was insignificant compared to the rewards he could obtain.
Even if he was a hooligan outside, the possibility of losing his life was much higher than this.
But Chen Mu wasn't a reckless person, and he carefully read all the precautions before starting.
But the training wasn't always smooth sailing, and Chen Mu's first attempt ended in failure.
It was a good thing that in his experience, it could only be considered normal. He had never thought he was so gifted.
All of his current skills and knowledge were gained from countless failures.
He was already used to failure, and he was used to looking for patterns in his failures.
Three days. It took him three whole days to find the feeling.
He was really too unfamiliar with the underwater world, and it wasn't an easy thing to keep his mind still in such an environment.
Under the sparkling and translucent environment of the "simple water world," there were all kinds of undercurrents surging all the time, and it wasn't easy to keep one's body in it, let alone communicate with energy.
Perception, in everyone's understanding, was full of wonders.
Only with perception could you communicate with energy, and those with powerful perception could even control the form and composition of energy.
Initial energy was amorphous, which was the most basic theory of the entire card system.
Like the power card, its source of energy came from the energy-containing substances in the card ink.
Using perception and the composition of the card, the energy contained in those energy-containing substances could be stimulated.
The energy output of the power card was the most primitive energy, which didn't have a fixed composition and was stable.
The composition of a one-star power card was the simplest, and so it didn't need the intervention of perception. But two-star power cards and above all needed the intervention of perception to achieve compatibility.
The higher the grade of the card, the higher the requirements for perception. That kind of requirement wasn't just in strength, but also in the precision of perceptual manipulation.
That was one of the fundamental reasons that up until then, mid-grade cards hadn't been able to realize large-scale industrial production.
Once the card was in the hands of a card artisan, they could arrange and combine the amorphous primitive energy to form all kinds of different energy forms.
Some of that kind of energy was mild, some violent, some sharp, and some blazing..
That had evolved into the various card artisan schools of the day.
There were three things that ran through the entire card system from beginning to end: energy, perception, and composition.
The importance of perception could be seen from that, whether it was a card master or a card artisan, they couldn't do without it.
Taking a long breath, Chen Mu's mind was tranquil, and the little bit of perception he had was emitted little by little. He felt himself being wrapped in a faint white light.
Suddenly, an undercurrent hit him, and his perception swayed, nearly tearing apart the fine connection between Chen Mu and his perception.
He needed to expend all his power to carefully control his perception so that it wouldn't be disturbed by those undercurrents.
Those undercurrents were rather strange, as though they knew Chen Mu's upper limit. Every time their power hit the spot where Chen Mu felt the most uncomfortable.
To tell the truth, it was a kind of torture.
Chen Mu had always felt that his willpower was tough, but he was still tormented to the point where he was about to spit blood.
That directly led to every time he entered the water world, he would have to take a deep breath and clench his teeth to cheer himself up. That posture was as though he were about to go to war.
Enduring was a kind of pain, so he would enjoy it!
