The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order-Chapter 125 - 125 Training new skills
125 Training new skills
There were many things on Cain’s mind once he reached his residence, but he was too tired. After bowing to his father’s altar, taking a shower, and eating a small meal, he went to bed.
Although he could use Embryonic Breathing to shorten the time, it was good to relax from time to time. A bow’s string had to be tense, but if pushed too much, it could break.
Only after a good night of sleep did Cain begin to address his affairs. He took out the crystal card with information about the Visualization Technique, Free Ego, and Embryonic Breathing and went through every point.
It took more than four hours for Cain to grasp the essence of all the knowledge Zarak left in the crystal card.
“Embryonic Breathing has different levels. I am currently at the first level, where my body recovers much faster, and my mind can find tranquility with little effort. I can also revolve my Astral Wave much faster, improving my cultivation and energy recovery.
As for Free Ego. It is more than just allowing my Ego Wave to leave my brain. I can train it to grow stronger and more resilient. With enough training, I can make it invisible and silent to the point that it could enter the body of someone, and that person would not even notice it.
Currently, there is not much I can do with my Visualization Technique. I need to give some time for my Alter-Ego to grow and show its nature and power. After that, I can begin to harness it.’ 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎
Cain took a few deep breaths, and soon he entered Embryonic Breathing. He could achieve that state without much effort as long there were no threats nearby affecting his concentration.
He stood in that state for a few minutes and felt that all the fatigue from reading for several hours had vanished. After that came his Free Ego training.
.....
A red electromagnetic force field emerged from Cain’s brain and moved around the room. Everything it touched appeared in his mind clearer than if he was seeing it with his own eyes.
It took him around three hours for the red color to fade slowly. Cain had to focus all his mind on that task, and any flaw would make it visible again.
Cain practiced his Free Ego for an hour before allowing his Ego Wave to return to his brain.
‘It will be long before I can make it invisible without effort and much longer before it is imperceptible for anyone with a weaker willpower than mine.’
After practicing the knowledge he gained from the first crystal card, Cain took the second Zarak gave him. The information about the Hypnosis Master Path was very obscure and complex, but its essence was simple.
Cain needed to generate a clash of wills with the opponent. The key was not just defeating the opponent; he had to leave it susceptible before uttering a command that would carry an impulse.
He would have to ensure that impulse would reach the target’s psyche and force this one to act a certain way. There were even ways to generate powerful illusions or implant specific commands that would activate with a keyword.
‘Becoming a 1 Star Hypnosis Master is incredibly challenging in just two weeks.’ Cain understood the task’s difficulty, but he trusted Zarak’s guidance. If he could not do it, that meant he had no talent in the Hypnosis Master Path and would not waste his time in it.
After going through the information in both crystal cards and grasping his new abilities, Cain addressed a different subject.
“How many military credits do I have?”
One of the reasons he went through the pillars was to test his strength but also secure as many military credits as he could.
[Military credits: 194.340]
Cain showed a great smile as he saw that massive quantity of credits. The pillars’ rewards, Wave Champion Atrox’s body, and the ones he gained for battling Wave Beasts’ hordes added up to a massive number. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢
He almost laughed as he had no idea what to do with so many military credits. Of course, the military’s network had things much more expensive than 190.000 credits, but none of them were useful for a Wave Warrior like Cain.
It did not take long for Cain to pick up the things he needed. He bought several wave crystals along with Dragon Grass. Those would help his cultivation and training in Blood Refinement Art.
Even for scions that had the full power of their Noble Families behind them, Cain’s purchase was insane. Of course, using such high-quality resources would translate into a powerful foundation.
Once Cain saw the number of credits left after buying a few crystals and grass, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Hahaha, I have less than 20.000 credits left, and what I bought will not last me more than a couple of months. It is true what they say; there is never such a thing as too much money.”
Cain did not spend all his credits on resources as there was one last thing he needed to buy.
“Apex, did you find the object I requested from you?”
“I have found several ways to acquire it. There is one that involves certain risks, but with your current strength, there would be no problem. It would actually benefit our purpose to take that path, but it all depends on if you are willing to do what needs to be done?”
Cain’s eyes narrowed as he heard that. The object he wanted to obtain was instrumental in fulfilling a promise he made to himself.
“Please explain.”
“I can get it using several fronts to hide the real buyer, but someone will know that it was sold in the Collapsing Lightning Sector.
However, there is a way to obtain it and hide any trace of its sale. A merchant is willing to sell it for a very low price, but they would only do the transaction in person.”
Cain understood what a physical transaction of this type meant. After a moment, his eyes grow decisive and cold.
“Do it. Settle the transaction to happen in twelve days.”
“Done.”
