"Mmmm, I'll remember it."
Chen Mu memorized what Caesar had said over and over again. Although he couldn't say he could recite it fluently, he could still remember it very clearly.
Although Caesar was laughing heartily, Chen Mu could still hear a hint of self-hurt in his words.
Seeing the gray sideburns that Caesar's mask didn't cover, he felt a little emotional when he thought of such an unruly super powerhouse who had been constantly fighting against fate but had unknowingly been defeated by time.
That was the point that Chen Mu couldn't figure out.
Was it a coincidence that he had been found by Caesar not long after he had put on his mask?
Or did Caesar have some unique method?
Chen Mu was more inclined to the latter guess. After all, it would be strange if Caesar didn't have some powerful means.
"Don't you believe me, kid?
I don't care how you train your perception or where you got it.
What I've been pondering all these years, humph, might not be any worse than Tang Hanpei's! "Caesar's arrogance was evident as he spoke.
Chen Mu rubbed his forehead in pain. Anyone who had been stuffed with such a thing all of a sudden wouldn't be any better than he was.
Caesar's instruction took a full two hours.
By then, Caesar didn't seem the least bit tyrannical or bloodthirsty. He was like a wise and farsighted teacher, full of wisdom and knowledge.
Chen Mu remembered it very carefully, knowing how rare the opportunity was.
He firmly remembered everything Caesar said. Even if he didn't understand it at the time, he didn't dare to relax.
"Cool!"
He snorted again. "I'm not boasting, but there aren't many people in the entire federation who are stronger than me in perception.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to practice the Materials Refinement Code.
Ha ha, after being seriously injured for so many years, the effort I've spent on it is uncountable. Ha ha, I've lived until now. "
"Oh." Chen Mu nodded to show he understood.
Having or not having a teacher, having or not having a good teacher, was a completely different thing!
Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh. He thought about the geniuses of the Big Six. Although they had great talent, their superior learning environment and learning conditions made them a lot better than the others at the starting line.
Caesar then began to give pointers to Chen Mu's perception.
It had to be said that Caesar's understanding of perception was really profound. Many of the things that Chen Mu was puzzled about could be easily explained in very simple terms.
He would also point out the hidden dangers that Chen Mu perceived and then give him a way to resolve them. Even his casual explanations would make Chen Mu feel suddenly enlightened.
The black smoke it spewed rose into the air in spirals, resembling the smoke rings of a smoker.
Can I defeat Tang Hanpei?
Chen Mu really wanted to deeply express his disbelief, but when he saw Caesar's emotionless eyes, he tactfully swallowed his words.
However, Caesar could clearly see the noncommittal attitude in his eyes.
Dense and muffled sounds of explosions rang out from the training room. The floor beneath everyone's feet continued to tremble. Everyone's faces remained lifeless, and their hearts trembled along with the trembling of the floor.
Caesar sighed softly. "It's still a problem whether I can live past five years.
Anyway, I don't want to be defeated. I just want you to fight with him. How about that? "
For two hours, not a single person passed by on the street. No one bothered the two of them.
Chen Mu felt like his brain was suddenly stuffed full of things, and he was dizzy.
But he didn't dare to relax. He repeatedly memorized what Caesar had just said in his mind, lest he miss the slightest bit.
A huge explosion rang out from the training room, and the floor seemed to tremble.
All the card artisans froze, and even Tai-shu Ying's expression was a little lifeless.
The training room that Sang Hanshui had entered was a specialized shooting training room. Its firmness could be considered outstanding among all the training rooms.
"The key is that you're young!"
Caesar was obviously most satisfied with that. "Ha ha, kid, do you know what a card artisan's greatest asset is?
Inheritance?
Cards?
None of that; it's youth!
As long as you're young, you have all the possibilities! "
"I'm letting you do such a dangerous thing, so of course I won't deny you any benefits."
Caesar said seriously, "Don't think I'm just scaring you. Although your perception hasn't matured yet, you don't have anyone to guide you, and there are some things you can't practice properly.
Those little problems aren't a big deal right now, but when your perception gets stronger, you'll have to suffer a lot. "
Still, Chen Mu didn't ask about perception. Instead, he asked another question, "What if I can't beat Tang Hanpei?"
"Ah!"
Even though he had been mentally prepared, Sang Hanshui was still overwhelmed with joy. The change in the muscles on his face distorted the rough general's mask.
He didn't even have time to thank Caesar as he flew into the training room.
After a full five minutes, a charred and smoky mask appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Hu! The mask's nostrils blew out a mouthful of black smoke.
"Within five years?"
Chen Mu didn't think he could rise to Tang Hanpei's level in five years. He wasn't some genius.
Moreover, when it came to genius, who could be more of a genius than Tang Hanpei?
He shook his head and said calmly, "I can't beat him in five years."
With so many things on his mind, Chen Mu's already dizzy head couldn't take it.
Shaking his head, he decided to put those questions aside for the time being.
Although he still didn't understand a lot of things, that didn't stop him from weighing them.
What he had gained was far more than what he had to pay.
He flew all the way back to the building. Seeing Chen Mu come back, Sang Hanshui came over with his buttocks jolting and laughing.
Chen Mu was also very straightforward as he threw the bomb into his hand. "Mmmm, this card is for you. Try it out yourself."
Caesar was taken aback. He hadn't thought the first thing his counterpart would ask after he had said so many benefits.
He laughed and said with some appreciation, "You're a pretty good kid!
How about this? I won't say anything about you beating Tang Hanpei, but I want you to go to the Federation Comprehensive Academy to challenge Tang Hanpei within five years, regardless of the outcome.
How about that? "
Seeing Chen Mu looking down in thought, Caesar didn't disturb him.
He raised his head to look into the distant sky with a calm gaze, lost in thought.
"Have you memorized everything?" Caesar withdrew his gaze and looked at Chen Mu.
Hearing that, Chen Mu was moved.
He knew what Caesar had said wasn't wrong. Many of the extreme training methods in the mysterious card had been fumbled out by himself.
He wouldn't have believed it if he had said there weren't any problems.
He actually didn't have much of an idea of how famous Caesar was.
But Chen Mu, who had just experienced how strong Caesar was, had no doubt about it.
Chen Mu had wanted to ask Caesar if he knew anything about the gold-mottled liquid-soft fungus and the green threads in his body, but he was a step too late.
"These are some of the things I've learned over the years.
Your perception is very similar to mine, and I can use some as a reference.
But there are some things that aren't applicable to you.
As for where you can go, that will depend on yourself, "Caesar said with a cold expression.
And Caesar left as soon as he said he would, as though he wasn't worried at all that Chen Mu wouldn't fulfill the agreement.
No matter how you looked at it, Caesar didn't seem like that kind of person, which was what puzzled Chen Mu.
Bang, bang, bang!
"Your perceptual training methods are pretty good, but it's a pity you haven't really stepped into the threshold.
I can't speculate what your next step will be.
Take this. "Caesar took out a card from his chest and handed it to Chen Mu.
There wasn't much joy in Caesar's expression. He just nodded and didn't waste any words. "Mmmm, I'll talk about your perception first."
He had no other choice!
For Chen Mu, the first things he had to face were the green threads and the gold-mottled liquid-soft fungus.
If he couldn't get past that hurdle, nothing else would be of any use.
Facing that hurdle, Chen Mu's most pressing need was to improve his strength.
Caesar's appearance had given Chen Mu what he needed most just then.
Even if he didn't win or lose, challenging Tang Hanpei would be an extremely dangerous thing.
But if he couldn't get the gold-mottled liquid-soft fungus, everything would be meaningless.
Chen Mu took the card with a puzzled look. "What is this?"
It had to be said that the gang of card artisans was like a different person from two days before.
The intense daily training, plus Sang Hanshui's supervision and Tai-shu Ying's assistance, made it seem as though they'd been suddenly pulled into hell.
Unfortunately, before they could come back to their senses, they could only succumb to the powerful force.
The card artisans who were training were all staring at the card in Sang Hanshui's hand. But when they found Chen Mu's gaze was about to turn to them, they all got serious about their training.
Bang, bang, bang, bang …
Caesar then said coldly, "Although your perception isn't the same as my Materials Refinement Code, it's generally similar. You can still use most things.
Humph, although your perception isn't as overbearing as mine, the good thing is that it won't do any harm to your body. "
Another thing that he found strange was the card that Caesar had given him.
He hadn't looked at it yet, but he felt Caesar seemed to have been prepared.
Could it not have been Caesar's idea?
Chen Mu let out a long breath, collected his thoughts, and soared into the air.
After weighing it in his mind for a moment, Chen Mu finally nodded. "OK." Since there was no question of victory or defeat, he wasn't afraid of simply challenging Tang Hanpei.
In any case, he could just concede when the time came, and he didn't think there was anything shameful about it.
"Don't forget the challenge."
Caesar left those words and suddenly soared into the air. Before Chen Mu could say anything, he could only watch helplessly as Caesar disappeared from his field of vision.
Only then did he know how terrifying Caesar's flying skills were. Like a startling rainbow, he disappeared in a flash.
But why was the floor vibrating?
Without realizing it, Chen Mu's mentality had changed.
Having experienced so much, he had long since understood that he couldn't be as passive as he had been before. As long as he actively fought for it, it would be possible to get it, even if the hope was so slim that it might not even be one in ten thousand.
But, if he didn't risk his life to fight for it, he wouldn't even have that one in ten thousand chance.
His thoughts started to return to what had happened that day.
To be honest, he had undoubtedly gained a lot that day.
From the information revealed by Caesar's words, he should have at least noticed him when he was fighting Jin Yin and Dang Han.
Well, it was quite possible!
He reckoned it was then that he realized his perception was a little similar to the Materials Refinement Code.
What Chen Mu found strange was how he could find him.
