The Method to Become Smarter

Two days later, Su Hao found his father.

"You memorized it?"

"Of course."

Naturally, Wu Yuntian did not believe it.

So Su Hao returned the book in his hand right in front of him and recited it word for word. Wu Yuntian kept his mouth wide open the entire time. How long had it taken him to memorize the canon back then?

Then Wu Yuntian led Su Hao to an uninhabited place and explained the contents recorded in the book to him sentence by sentence.

Something like the Blood Qi Canon, if nobody explained it sentence by sentence, nine times out of ten people would practice it completely wrong based on their own guesses. Because expressing one's thoughts accurately with text was a very difficult thing to do, much like posting on social media in the past, where a simple sentence like "Ah, I accidentally dropped and broke my bowl" was very easy to understand, clear, and expressive.

Yet some people interpreted it as "Why did the bowl break? Did you get into a fight with your significant other?" "Did something bad happen recently?" "Go search Baidu to see what 'breaking a bowl' implies."...

Therefore, Wu Yuntian told Su Hao to memorize it, and he obediently memorized it. As for what it meant inside, he did not guess it, but instead waited for his father to explain it to him. After all, his father was a seasoned High-Rank Elite Warrior and could be considered quite powerful.

It wasn't until the sky grew dark that they finished explaining the entire book. And Su Hao recorded Wu Yuntian's explanations into the Light of the Universe without missing a single word, to study and review at any time.

"Is there anywhere you still don't understand?" Wu Yuntian asked.

"No." After finishing, Su Hao immediately praised: "Dad, you are truly amazing to be able to explain such a complex book so thoroughly. It's a real waste that you didn't become a teacher."

Wu Yuntian laughed out loud for the first time, proudly saying: "Well of course, you think these past six months..."

Saying this, he immediately clamped his mouth shut. Changing the subject, he said: "Since there's nothing you don't understand, let's leave it at that for now. Off with you, go back. Ask me if there's anything you don't understand."

"Okay." Su Hao jumped up and trotted along closely behind him.

The next day, Su Hao found his father again and said: "Dad, I have already thoroughly understood this book."

Wu Yuntian's evaluation of his son rose once again. He knew that Su Hao would be able to understand the canon quickly, but he hadn't expected it to be this fast.

After testing and finding that Su Hao truly understood everything, Wu Yuntian spoke again: "Then our studying stops here for now, and next you will start doing the most important thing. That is to find the Blood Qi."

"Find the Blood Qi? How do I find it?"

Wu Yuntian wore a mysterious smile: "You go running every morning, and when you are too exhausted to run anymore you eat something. After eating, find a quiet place to sit in meditation and properly sense the process of food transforming into energy. After a long time, you will be able to perceive the Blood Qi."

"Just like that?"

"Yes, just like that."

Su Hao recalled a slogan he had once heard: Keep it simple, believe, and just do it. Fine, he would just do it.

Early the next morning, Su Hao started running around the threshing floor.

His behavior quickly attracted the attention of his little playmates.

He Qingqing was still wearing double ponytails today, looking quite pretty. She brought her two little lackeys over, and as Su Hao jogged past, she asked curiously: "Xiangwu, what are you doing?"

Su Hao rolled his eyes and said: "Running."

"Why are you running?"

Su Hao directly pretended not to hear and jogged right past her. But when Su Hao circled back around, He Qingqing refused to give up and asked: "Why are you running? Running is no fun, why don't you come catch field mice with us!"

Su Hao didn't answer and ran past again.

On the third lap, He Qingqing's temper flared, and she shouted loudly: "Xiangwu, no matter what, you must come catch field mice with us today."

By this time Su Hao was already out of breath from exhaustion. He originally didn't want to answer, but seeing He Qingqing's ponytails practically twitching with anger, and fearing she would come over and grab him, he had no choice but to reply: "He Qingqing, I've already told you, I don't play with idiots."

Seeing Su Hao bring that up again, He Qingqing drove herself crazy and snapped: "Wu Xiangwu, I've also said before, I am not an idiot, just come play with me!"

Su Hao slowed his pace and said: "Did you answer that question from the other day?"

He Qingqing immediately blurted out: "I answered it, it's a dead person, it's a dead person right."

Su Hao shook his head and said: "Wrong."

He Qingqing immediately retorted: "Impossible, my dad said dead people don't need to see a physician, that's definitely not wrong. Dead people don't do anything."

Su Hao shook his head again: "Still wrong. What I asked was, what kind of person is sick and doesn't see a physician? Dead people don't get sick, so they aren't in that category."

He Qingqing refused to accept defeat and immediately counter-attacked: "Then you tell me, what kind of person is it?"

"A blind person."

"What?"

Su Hao said again: "It's a blind person! Because blind people can't see, how could they see a physician?"

He Qingqing opened her mouth wide, her little expression actually looking somewhat cute.

At this moment Snot Tao asked Little Fatty beside him: "Little Fatty, do you know why it's a blind person?"

Little Fatty suddenly moved a bit farther away from Snot Tao, muttering: "I don't want to play with idiots either."

Snot Tao: "What?"

"Nothing! Nothing at all! Snot Tao, don't come near me in the future unless you blow your snot clean."

Snot Tao sniffed and said with difficulty: "O... okay! But my mother said kids having snot means they're healthy."

"Get lost!"

Thinking and thinking, He Qingqing unexpectedly found that Su Hao's answer was completely airtight, leaving her temporarily too anxious to speak.

What to do? She was already starting to doubt whether she was an idiot; why couldn't she think of such a simple answer? If this kept up, she would never have a way to make Su Hao her little lackey follower, and Su Hao would never play with them.

As Su Hao jogged past her side once again, she suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Su Hao.

By this time Su Hao was already as exhausted as a dog, his legs feeling like jelly. Suddenly yanked to a stop by He Qingqing, he instantly tumbled to the ground, pulling He Qingqing down with him as the two little people crashed together into a heap.

"What are you doing?" Su Hao was too tired to get up and glared fiercely at He Qingqing, though he didn't go so far as to get upset with this brat. Sure enough, kids and the like were the most annoying.

He Qingqing's hands gripped Su Hao tightly, as if terrified that Su Hao would run away, and with a serious little face she said: "Wu Xiangwu, you have to play with us today. No matter what you say, it's useless; if you don't play with us, I'll have Snot Tao and Little Fatty beat you up. I mean what I say."

Su Hao was instantly speechless. What kind of situation was this? Alas, his combat power didn't permit him to resist. Glancing over to see Snot Tao and Little Fatty walking over with excited expressions, his spirit instantly wilted. Was he really going to drop his tender face today and play house with these little brats?

No way! Give an inch and they'll take a mile. Was he supposed to run all over the mountains with these brats from now on? This was simply a waste of time.

After catching his breath and evening out his panting, Su Hao managed to climb up and pat the dirt off his body.

"You agreed?" He Qingqing thought Su Hao had agreed and immediately beamed with joy.

Su Hao didn't answer, instead asking in return: "Qingqing, didn't you just ask me why I was running?"

"Yeah!" Qingqing replied.

"Then ask it again."

Without thinking much into it, He Qingqing followed along and asked: "Then why are you running?"

Su Hao immediately praised: "Qingqing, well asked! That's a good question, right to the point. Then Qingqing, let me ask you, do you know why I am so smart?"

He Qingqing's eyes instantly widened into saucers. This was the secret she had always wanted to know, and she blankly asked: "Why?"

Snot Tao and Little Fatty curiously leaned over to listen.

"Because of running!"

"Running?" ×3.

Su Hao answered with a calm expression: "That's right! It's running."

"Really? Running can make you smart, as smart as you?"

"Of course. This is a secret I discovered, you guys must not tell anyone else."

"Mm-mm!" ×3.

"Then what are you waiting for? Start running!"

"Oh-hoo!"
