Blood Qi Strengthening Wave

A month later, Su Hao had grown quite a bit taller, and his body had become sturdier. He no longer looked like a three-and-a-half-year-old child, but more like... a four-year-old? That was about right. At least in spirit and bearing, Su Hao no longer felt like a soft little child.

Su Hao awoke from Visualization, sensing the surging Blood Qi energy within his body. A smile could not help appearing in his eyes.

"The Blood Qi conversion rate has indeed sped up. My line of thought was right."

Over the past month, after every Visualization session, Su Hao had used Little Light to meticulously compare the before-and-after differences, trying to find why Visualizing the "Nine Palaces Blood-Intercepting Manual" could convert Blood Qi.

Half a month ago, he had finally discovered a clue. During the brain's Visualization process, it transmitted a special signal. This signal subtly influenced the body's functions, essentially deceiving the body into believing that Blood Qi was the substance it urgently lacked. As a result, Nutrient Substances were preferentially converted into Blood Qi and stored throughout the body.

Su Hao could not help marveling. The humans of this world truly had wild flights of fancy. They had actually carved out, by sheer force, a path that allowed individual martial strength to rise without limit. Sure enough, the power of thought had no upper bound. Anything was possible.

Something could not be done not because it was inherently impossible, but because one's knowledge was insufficient!

Su Hao was suddenly filled with curiosity about this world. The desire to learn buried deep in his soul was about to burst forth.

Over the next half month, Su Hao began locking onto that special signal and studying it in depth. By now, he had made great progress. He named this special signal the "Blood Qi Strengthening Wave."

He began trying to use his consciousness to control the appearance and disappearance of the "Blood Qi Strengthening Wave," thereby controlling the efficiency of Blood Qi conversion. With Little Light's help and constant comparisons, he found the method two days ago. When he tried it, it worked exactly as expected. Over these past two days, the Blood Qi conversion rate had increased dramatically, far surpassing the conversion rate of the "Nine Palaces Blood-Intercepting Manual."

Sure enough, technology was productivity. Although the people of this world had created a Transcendent path for Mortals through ingenious ideas, they lacked large quantities of reference data. Whether in lifestyle or methods of production, they remained in a primitive age, groping ahead by instinct.

The reason he could accomplish what people of the Origin World could not, and improve so quickly, was thanks to the advanced knowledge he had learned in his previous life, as well as Little Light's powerful data-processing ability. Su Hao knew that he was not a true Genius. He was merely an ordinary person who possessed a great deal of knowledge far ahead of this age.

Su Hao put away his pride and complacency, silently deciding, If I can survive smoothly, I will bring change to this world. I will let the Human Race of this world grasp more knowledge, truly stand atop the world, and become the eternal rulers of Yonghe Continent.

At that moment, Su Hao felt strength coursing through his entire body. In his Perception, his tiny body was filled with vigorous Blood Qi, as though he possessed inexhaustible power. Now, he at least had some ability to resist. He was no longer as frail as he had been when he had just been reborn.

Su Hao flipped up and jumped, his toes rising a full meter off the ground. Then he landed lightly and stood firm.

"Awesome!"

With his height of less than a meter, he could actually jump a whole meter. That had once been unimaginable.

Wu Yuntian beside him suddenly frowned and asked in confusion, "Xiangwu, why has your Blood Qi growth rate accelerated these past two days?"

Su Hao grinned smugly. "Father, while Visualizing the 'Nine Palaces Blood-Intercepting Manual,' I discovered that the brain emits a special fluctuation. I call it the 'Blood Qi Strengthening Wave.' As long as you control this Blood Qi Strengthening Wave, you can control the speed of Blood Qi conversion however you wish. It can go as fast as you want. Today's Blood Qi growth rate isn't even the fastest—it can be faster still."

Wu Yuntian was stunned for a long while, then shook his head. "I do not understand what you are talking about. But Xiangwu, I must remind you that Blood Qi conversion must never exceed your body's limit of endurance."

"Understood." Su Hao nodded, then asked curiously, "Father, has your Blood Qi reached the limit your body can endure?"

Wu Yuntian shook his head. "No. Reaching the limit is extremely difficult. Once the amount of Blood Qi reaches a certain level, there will be a bottleneck. It is very difficult to cross it."

"Very difficult?" Su Hao blinked. While converting Blood Qi today, he had clearly felt that when its concentration reached a certain point, it stalled and stopped increasing. He had merely adjusted the intensity of the "Blood Qi Strengthening Wave" slightly and crossed it with ease. Could that stall be the bottleneck his father had mentioned?

Su Hao carefully said to Wu Yuntian, "Father, why not try my method? Maybe it can help you break through your current bottleneck."

Wu Yuntian thought about it. There was no harm in trying. He was not the sort of stubborn fool who thought too highly of himself; he would not be embarrassed to learn simply because Su Hao was his son.

Seeing Wu Yuntian nod, Su Hao thought for a moment and said, "Father, I'll teach you the 'Blood Qi Strengthening Wave' first!"

Su Hao then began teaching, while Wu Yuntian listened carefully. Afterward, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began converting Blood Qi. But after trying for a long time, he still could not find the "Blood Qi Strengthening Wave" Su Hao had described.

After two hours of fussing about, Su Hao saw Wu Yuntian's face clouded with gloom and comforted him. "Father, don't rush. It's like when you first sensed Blood Qi—you may need to spend some time on it."

Wu Yuntian nodded silently. He quickly forgave himself. Sure enough, the world of Geniuses was hard to understand.

With nothing else to do, Su Hao went to the threshing ground to train his body again. He had already grown accustomed to working himself until his muscles and bones felt spent every day.

After arriving at the threshing ground, he saw the three little brats again: He Qingqing, Snot Tao, and Little Fatty.

These three little brats had been hoodwinked by Su Hao into running with him for a whole month. Little Fatty had visibly slimmed down. By now, each of them believed she was an exceptionally clever figure in Tea Mountain Outpost, scrambling to have Su Hao ask them questions so they could prove their talent.

The troublemaking energy of these little brats had truly stumped Su Hao. How could he have so much time to coax a few children, coming up with questions every day like what five plus six equaled, or what seven minus one equaled?

Before, he had submitted only because he could not beat them. But today, Su Hao did not intend to submit. Feeling the surging power throughout his body, he was brimming with confidence.

Every last one of these little brats—I'll beat them all flat on the ground. Then no one will come bother me again, hahaha!

The moment He Qingqing, who was playing with dirt, saw Su Hao, her eyes immediately lit up. She said in delight, "Xiangwu! Over here, come quickly! Let's build dirt people together."

Su Hao immediately refused. "No."

"Why?"

"I never play with idiots."

"But we've already become smarter!"

"Really?"

"That's right. You said so yourself."

Su Hao scratched his head. "All right, you really have become smarter, but I hadn't finished what I was saying."

"What?"

"I never play with weak people either!"

He Qingqing was so angry that her little cheeks puffed up like two buns. Pointing at Su Hao, she said, "You're saying we're weak?"

"That's right." Su Hao nodded. "Everyone here is too weak. I don't even put you in my eyes."

He Qingqing stamped her foot and pointed at Su Hao, shouting, "Snot Tao, Little Fatty, beat him up!"
