Chapter 365: Field Perception
Chapter 365: Field Perception
As soon as Chen Chuan saw Teacher Jiang, he cut straight to the chase, not wasting time on pleasantries. He released his focused and collected divine thoughts, and his field perception naturally unfolded.
Teacher Jiang immediately sensed it and said, "Chen Chuan, when you participated in the assessment, I heard balance from you. No ups and downs, no waves, like a smooth, round stone without edges, leaving no gaps. This indicates your well-balanced abilities, as well as emotional rationality and calmness."
But then, his relaxed expression gradually became more serious. "Now, you're still as calm as ever, but like a bottomless lake, ready to sink and drown anyone in it. This field perception is truly..." He paused, looked at Chen Chuan, and sighed, "It's a bit terrifying."
While he was speaking, Chen Chuan also felt something from him. This should be the field perception that Teacher Jiang intentionally released, and within it, he sensed a vibrant and tense aura.
If one were to describe the feeling, it would be like a conductor standing on stage, ready to burst with passionate energy at any moment. But if one were to be more specific, like the balance Teacher Jiang mentioned, Chen Chuan couldn't quite grasp it.
Teacher Jiang spread his arms wide and smiled, "You should feel that when you perceive others, they also perceive you. Even if your information is discovered by others, you also obtain some information about them. Regardless of how much you grasp, your priority is to ensure you don't reveal too much of yourself. So, you need to find ways to make limited changes."
"How to hide yourself and mislead others is what you need to learn and master now."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Please guide me, Teacher."
Teacher Jiang took a few steps in place and said, "Chen Chuan, the primary part of biological field perception is formed by the information emitted from mutated tissues. You should be able to sense this, but if you let them express freely, they will reveal the most essential and pure information, which is the most authentic."
"However, if you can utilize and guide them, making them emit the sounds and field perception you desire, you can achieve your goals. For example, you can have some mutated tissues withhold information while others maintain their information-emitting state, thus revealing only partial information. If this partial information is regulated well, it can mislead opponents into thinking they have accessed everything, achieving the goal of deception."
"Through long-term accumulation and evolution, fighters have explored and established numerous predetermined templates and routines for when to withhold and when to remain active."
He pointed at his Boundary Token, and a set of templates immediately appeared on the screen. "These are the most basic templates. You must master these before considering more complex variations."
Chen Chuan looked at the information on the light screen, which showed three methods of altering one's field perception by regulating mutated tissues. The remaining templates were also derived from these three basic ones.
After reviewing them, Chen Chuan found them relatively easy. These templates were applicable to most fighters, indicating that they didn't require many mutated tissues to be activated.
Chen Chuan's mutated tissues had an extensive coverage, and he engaged numerous mutated tissues in every fight. Moreover, he had been practicing the Furnace Breathing Technique, which involved a far broader range of tissues than these templates, making them quite simple for him.
So, after a quick glance and a brief attempt, Chen Chuan mastered the techniques. All that was left was to familiarize himself with them and deepen his understanding.
Teacher Jiang, who had been sensing Chen Chuan's biological field perception, noticed the regular changes occurring in his field. "Hmm, you've grasped it so quickly. With your talent, you should. Let's continue."
"Now that you've mastered the basics, you can at least understand what others are doing, instead of being completely lost. But if you want to quickly analyze and comprehend their field perception, you'll need some techniques and experience."
Here, Teacher Jiang slowly spread his arms and said, "First, try to sense it carefully."
Chen Chuan attempted to perceive the field, and he noticed significant changes compared to his previous experience. The feeling was entirely different from before.
If the earlier sensation was like standing before a passionate conductor, the current one was like a low-key conductor positioned at the back.
"Between the previous and the current, which one is your true field perception?" Teacher Jiang asked with a smile.
Chen Chuan carefully discerned the differences, feeling that there was a connection to Teacher Jiang's earlier teachings. While he couldn't delve deeply into the perception, he could compare and notice the general, overarching aspects.
After a while, Chen Chuan said, "Neither seems to be the true perception, but both might be."
Teacher Jiang snapped his fingers in approval. "You're very perceptive, sensing the critical aspect. These perceptions differ in the degree of change, with the former having less and the latter, more."
"To me, field perception is like a musical piece. Through it, you can hear various beautiful melodies, and these melodies reveal much. Only naturally flowing music is truly pleasant."
However, those that are artificially created are stiff and rigid, and it's difficult for ordinary people to overcome this flaw unless they have reached an extremely high level of mastery in shaping their own field.
So, your task is simple: pay attention to the parts that flow naturally, discard the rigid and inflexible, and based on your understanding, determine what type of enemy your opponent is."
As he spoke, he reminded her, "Your judgment must be quick and decisive, and this requires constant practice. There are no shortcuts; it's best to find someone willing to cooperate with you, a good sparring partner. But I can't help you with this. If you have the resources, I suggest you seek out Hong Fu directly."
Chen Chuan nodded. Although Mr. Jiang wasn't responsible for this matter, it was already a great help to have his guidance. It would take who knows how long to figure out the intricacies on his own.
Mr. Jiang continued, "Regarding field techniques, if you're not a fighter from the national system, few people care about this. Those who recognize this and want to learn these techniques are already in the minority.
So, if you don't want to spend too much energy on this, mastering what I just told you is already sufficient. But if you want to delve deeper, I do have some experience to share. I can spare ten to twenty minutes a day. If you have any questions, feel free to come and find me."
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang," Chen Chuan said. "This will be very useful for students."
Mr. Jiang, with his hands in his pockets, smiled and said, "Don't mention it. It's just a fair exchange. You're also a Tier Three Fighter now. Who knows when I might need your help."
Chen Chuan replied earnestly, "If there's anything I can help with, please feel free to contact me, teacher."
Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite. Let's end our conversation here for today." As he spoke, he activated his Boundary Vessel and turned to leave. "I have students who have already purchased my classes before the start of school, so I need to go teach now."
Seeing him leave, Chen Chuan decided not to linger. He took the elevator back to his dormitory, not in a rush to find Hong Fu. Instead, he repeatedly practiced with the three templates.
His goal was to be able to complete the template transformations at any moment, and he estimated it would take three to five days to become proficient. Only then would seeking Hong Fu's help be truly beneficial.
He spent the entire day repeatedly practicing and refining the Furnace Breath Method and its application techniques.
The next day, September 2nd, he contacted Ni Qianqian via the Boundary Vessel in the morning and then left the Xuan Gong Mansion. He drove to the headquarters of the Processing Bureau.
As soon as he entered, an internal staff member led him to a lounge and offered him tea.
After a short wait, the sound of high heels echoed in the corridor, and a beautiful woman in her thirties, with her hair in a bun and a ceremonial smile, approached. She bowed slightly and said, "Executor Chen, thank you for waiting. Please follow me."
Chen Chuan stood up and nodded, "Thank you."
The woman smiled at him again and led the way.
Chen Chuan followed her out, walking along the corridor to the elevator. She extended her slender finger and pressed the button. The elevator descended, stopping at the indicator light for Level -7.
The elevator doors opened, and the woman stepped out, gesturing for Chen Chuan to follow. "Executor Chen, please come this way."
Chen Chuan looked ahead; outside the elevator was a long, dimly lit corridor with cold blue light strips extending along the walls. He thought to himself that the matter the Processing Bureau wanted to discuss must be significant, requiring a special meeting in the underground facility.
He followed the woman out of the elevator, and after walking for two minutes, she pushed open a set of double doors and entered a conference room with rounded edges.
The room was spacious, with dim lighting around the edges and a brighter area in the center where a fixed metal table was placed horizontally. The entire space was filled with cold-toned light, and there was almost no sound, making their footsteps echo clearly.
Chen Chuan noticed a middle-aged man in a crisp uniform and sunglasses standing behind the metal table, apparently waiting for them.
The woman approached the man and introduced him to Chen Chuan, "Executor Chen, this is Specialist Liang." It was a simple introduction without mentioning his specific position, name, or department.
Chen Chuan stepped forward and nodded, "Specialist Liang."
Specialist Liang spoke in a tone devoid of emotion, "Executor Chen, I've asked you here to explain some matters.
Any fighter trained through the national system who reaches Tier Three will be contacted by us, and we will reveal certain things to them. However, this content is classified as a state secret, so before informing you, we need you to sign a confidentiality agreement."
The woman brought over a paper document and placed it on the metal table in front of Chen Chuan.
Specialist Liang's expression remained unchanged as he said, "You have the right to refuse to know. If you choose not to accept, you can simply leave the way you came, and no one will bother you about this in the future. If you choose to accept, please sign here."
