The Fourth Generation Rune Array Disks previously developed were not large overall. The smallest was only the size of a ping-pong ball, while the largest was merely the size of a round disk.
In other words, the size of an Array Disk directly determined the upper limit of the energy it could carry.
And once that energy ceiling was limited, the power a Rune could unleash was likewise limited.
Thus, the Fifth Generation Rune Array Disk Su Hao intended to make was not simply a crude enlargement of the Rune Array Disk's area to gain more powerful Rune effects. Instead, he wanted to find the optimal solution for converting Blood Qi energy into force.
Increasing the Array Disk's area could certainly grant greater power, but correspondingly, the time required to activate Runes would increase, while the number of Runes that could be inscribed onto a set of armor or a weapon would decrease.
In the end, the losses would outweigh the gains.
In Su Hao's mind, the so-called optimal solution for converting Blood Qi energy was to improve conversion efficiency, then slightly raise the overall power of the Runes until it reached the level he wanted.
Take the simple Rune, 'Barrier,' as an example.
The activation mechanism of Barrier was similar to the effect of a Non-Newtonian Fluid. Once activated, the Rune generated a large amount of red matter that spread around the body. When subjected to a violent impact, this matter began moving intensely, its friction rising sharply in an instant, thereby forming a protective Barrier.
Though this Barrier was powerful, it still had a defensive limit. Before an attack that exceeded that limit, the Barrier was no harder than a sheet of paper.
And as the battles Su Hao encountered grew fiercer and fiercer, this layer of Barrier
