The commotion quickly attracted Little Ya and Lin Xue from far away, who ran over to watch.
The little girl also poked her head out from her room and curiously ran over to watch the excitement.
At this point, Mu You reached the twelfth card, still maintaining a hundred percent accuracy rate.
Vivian, on the other hand, had ceased speaking.
Mu You forgot about everything else, focusing intently on sensing the tarot cards in front of him.
Until the thirteenth card, when he finally made his first blunder.
The thirteenth card, which should have been "Justice," was, instead, an ordinary minor arcana card.
"So, I did make a mistake..."
Mu You sighed. He had been unsure about this card when choosing it, and sure enough, he chose wrong.
Shaking his head, Mu You didn’t mind and continued his divination.
Next, from the fourteenth to sixteenth cards—The Hanged Man, The Grim Reaper, and Temperance—all were correct.
However, by the seventeenth card, he made another mistake, picking another major arcana card out of order. This meant he made two mistakes in a row.
Little Ya, Lin Xue, and others watched Mu You silently, ensuring they didn’t disturb him.
Several minutes later, Mu You finally finished handling all twenty-two cards.
During the twentieth card, he made another mistake. That is to say, out of the twenty-two major arcana cards, he was wrong four times, maintaining an accuracy rate of over 80%.
"Boss, you’re amazing! You can pick out this many cards with your eyes closed... Is this what divination is?"
"Won’t we be invincible in playing card games in the future?" Little Ya exclaimed in wonder.
"No, this isn’t considered..."
Mu You shook his head with a bitter smile. What he had been doing was merely guessing cards—a basic application of the mind’s eye. It was a far cry from divination.
Real divination can sense much more than this.
"What do you think, Vivian? Have I...passed?"
Mu You turned to look at Vivian, feeling somewhat nervous.
He was unsure about the standard for this test and worried that one might need to guess every card correctly in order to be recognized as having a talent for divination.
Vivian kept her tone neutral, but her heart was far from calm.
Her own talent for divination was excellent. During her first similar test, she drew eleven incorrect cards, achieving a 50% success rate. Even so, her performance outshone 95% of the diviners in the Star Spirit World.
Even her most talented divination student had drawn eight wrong cards at that time.
However, she had never seen anyone achieve such a high success rate as Mu You, who had only four mistakes in one test.
Having accompanied Mu You for a long time, she was very clear that he had never come into contact with divination before. It was indeed his first time using his mind’s eye. There was no possibility of cheating.
Which meant Mu You’s talent for divination far exceeded that of ordinary people, even in the entire Star Spirit World, he was top-notch.
Unaware of Vivian’s shock at his talent, Mu You felt relieved that he had passed.
"Can I start official lessons now?" Mu You asked.
Vivian didn’t say much more, only nodding in agreement.
"Next, we will first need to increase the range and depth of your mind’s eye."
Currently, Mu You’s mind’s eye vision could only perceive a small area directly in front of him. This was obviously insufficient for true divination. A diviner needed a vast amount of information to make accurate predictions—the wider the scope, the more accurate the prediction could be.
This training requires active use of the mind’s eye over a lengthy period. Through this exercise, its power can gradually increase until it sufficient for divination. This process can take a long time, from a few months, up to several years.
Luckily, this kind of repetitive training could take a shortcut using the Pocket Watch combined with the Fool’s Space.
After three months of repetitive training in the Fool’s Space, Mu You finally increased his mind’s eye vision to a satisfactory level.
These three months passed in the blink of an eye in the real world where Little Ya and others weren’t even aware that Mu You had just undergone three months of training.
Mu You again closed his eyes, activated his mind’s eye, and looked at his surroundings. His mind’s eye could now include a radius of a hundred meters around him.
Mu You focused his perspective on the people next to him. In the view of the mind’s eye, living beings did not exist physically, but as energy forms, appearing only as outlines similar to humans.
At the same time, numerous colored lines emerged from them and Mu You himself. These colorful lines appeared to be red, blue, yellow, green, and other colors. Some connected to each other, while some interweaved and merged in mid-air, others attached to the ground, intertwining with the surrounding grass and trees, or extended outward, disappearing beyond the realm of Mu You’s mind’s eye...
"What are these lines?" Mu You asked.
"Those are the Principle of Cause and Effect..." Vivian answered.
"Principle of Cause and Effect..."
Mu You looked thoughtfully at the numerous colorful lines around him, finding them intriguing. Within seconds, it wasn’t just human bodies that were emanating lines. All the plants around him, even inanimate objects, emitted lines that crisscrossed each other, interconnecting into an extremely complex network. This inevitably made Mu You recall a sentence from the introductory book on divination: "Everything, every event, are all linked by cause and effect."
Mu You subconsciously wanted to further observe the connections between these lines, especially those emitted from human bodies.
Anticipating his intent, Vivian immediately warned, "Don’t look too carefully!"
