Chapter 17: [Blood Qi Enhancement Wave]

A month later, Su Hao had grown considerably taller, and his body became more robust. He no longer looked like a three-and-a-half-year-old child, but more like... four years old? Well, close enough. However, in terms of spirit and vitality, Su Hao no longer gave off the impression of a soft little kid.

Su Hao awoke from his meditative state, sensing the vigorous Blood Qi energy surging within his body, and couldn't help but smile.

"The rate of Blood Qi conversion has indeed sped up. My method is correct."

Over the past month, Su Hao would, after every session of visualization, use [Cosmic Light] (his AI assistant) to carefully compare the before and after states, trying to figure out why visualizing the ≤Nine Palaces Blood Qi Manual≥. could convert his nutrients into Blood Qi.

Finally, half a month ago, he discovered a clue. During the visualization process, the brain would emit a unique frequency, which had a subtle effect on the body, tricking it into believing that the most urgently needed substance was Blood Qi. This caused nutrients to be preferentially converted into Blood Qi and stored throughout his body.

This discovery left Su Hao in awe. The people of this world had truly come up with ingenious ways to enhance individual strength. As expected, the power of thoughts is boundless, and anything is possible.

Failing to achieve something isn't because it's inherently unachievable but because one hasn't acquired enough knowledge!

Suddenly, Su Hao became incredibly curious about this world. His deep-seated desire for knowledge burst out from the depths of his soul.

Over the next half-month, Su Hao began to focus on this unique frequency and conducted in-depth research. Up until now, he had made significant progress, naming this special frequency the [Blood Qi Enhancement Wave].

He started experimenting with controlling the generation and disappearance of the [Blood Qi Enhancement Wave] through his consciousness, thereby regulating the efficiency of Blood Qi conversion. With the assistance of [Cosmic Light], and through continuous comparisons, Su Hao found a method two days ago. Upon trying it, it succeeded as expected, and over the past two days, the conversion rate of his Blood Qi had increased dramatically, far surpassing the original rate offered by the ≤Nine Palaces Blood Qi Manual≥.

As expected, technology is productivity. Although the people of this world had ingeniously created a path for mortals to transcend their limits, they lacked a vast amount of reference data. Whether in terms of lifestyle or production methods, they were still exploring forward in a primitive way, blindly groping their way forward.

The reason he could achieve things that people in this world couldn't, and why he was able to make such rapid progress, was all thanks to the advanced knowledge he had acquired in his previous life and the powerful data-processing abilities of [Cosmic Light]. Su Hao knew he wasn't a true genius. He was merely an "ordinary" person who had access to a wealth of advanced knowledge.

Putting away any pride, Su Hao silently resolved: "If I manage to survive, I will bring change to this world. I want humanity in this world to acquire more knowledge, stand at the pinnacle of this world, and become rulers of Yonghe Continent."

....

At this moment, Su Hao felt a surge of strength coursing through his entire body. In his perception, his small frame was filled with vigorous Blood Qi, and he felt like he had an endless reservoir of power. He now had some strength to resist; no longer was he as weak as when he had first reincarnated.

Su Hao flipped over and jumped up, his toes leaving the ground by a full meter, and then he landed lightly on his feet, standing steadily.

"Awesome!"

Given his height of less than one meter, jumping a whole meter was something he could have never imagined before.

Nearby, Wu Yuntian furrowed his brow, puzzled. "Xiangwu, why has your Blood Qi increased so quickly these past two days?"

Su Hao chuckled proudly and said, "Father, when I was visualizing the ≤Nine Palaces Blood Qi Manual≥ Technique , I discovered that the brain emits a special wave. I call it the 'Blood Qi Enhancement Wave.' As long as you can control this wave, you can regulate the speed of Blood Qi conversion. The faster you want it, the faster it goes. The current rate isn't even the fastest; it can go even quicker."

Wu Yuntian stood stunned for a while before shaking his head, saying, "I don't understand what you're talking about. But Xiang Wu, I must remind you: don't push the conversion of Blood Qi beyond your body's limit."

"Understood," Su Hao nodded, then curiously asked, "Father, have you reached your body's limit for Blood Qi?"

Wu Yuntian shook his head, "No, reaching that limit is very difficult. Once your Blood Qi reaches a certain threshold, you'll hit a bottleneck, and breaking through it is incredibly challenging."

"Is it really that hard?" Su Hao blinked. Earlier today, when he was converting Blood Qi, he clearly felt a slight pause when the Blood Qi concentration reached a certain point, and the growth halted. However, with a slight adjustment to the [Blood Qi Enhancement Wave], he easily broke through. Could that pause have been the bottleneck his father was talking about?

Cautiously, Su Hao suggested, "Father, why don't you try my method? Maybe it will help you break through your current bottleneck."

After thinking for a moment, Wu Yuntian figured it couldn't hurt to try. He wasn't one of those rigid types who would refuse to learn just because the suggestion came from his own son.

Seeing his father's nod of approval, Su Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Father, let me teach you how to use the 'Blood Qi Enhancement Wave' first!"

Su Hao then began explaining his technique. Wu Yuntian listened carefully and then sat cross-legged to try and convert his Blood Qi. However, after trying for a long time, he still couldn't find the [Blood Qi Enhancement Wave] that Su Hao had described.

After two hours of struggling, Wu Yuntian's face was filled with frustration. Su Hao comforted him, saying, "Father, don't worry. It's like when you first tried to sense Blood Qi—it might just take some time."

Wu Yuntian nodded silently, quickly forgiving himself. Truly, the world of geniuses is hard to comprehend.

....

With nothing else to do, Su Hao went to the threshing field to train his body. He had become accustomed to exhausting himself daily.

Upon arriving, he saw three little kids again: He Qingqing, Snotty Hongtao, and Little Fatty Cunzhi .

These three brats had been hoodwinked by Su Hao into running laps with him for a whole month. Little Fatty had even visibly slimmed down. By now, each of them believed they were the smartest people in the Chashan Outpost, constantly competing to answer Su Hao's questions to prove their intelligence.

But their constant pestering had started to wear Su Hao down. He didn't have the time to constantly come up with questions like, "What's 5+6?" or "What's 7-1?" every day.

Before, he had given in because he couldn't win a fight. But today, Su Hao had no intention of yielding. Feeling the boundless power coursing through him, he was filled with confidence.

Each and every one of these kids would get beaten down today. After that, they'd never bother him again! ′Ha ha ha!'

As soon as He Qingqing saw Su Hao, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she exclaimed, "Xiangwu! Over here! Come join us in building mud people!"

Su Hao instantly rejected, "No!"

"Why not?"

"I never play with idiots."

"But we've gotten smarter!"

"Is that so?"

"Yes! You said so yourself."

Su Hao scratched his head, "Okay, you have gotten smarter. But I didn't finish my sentence from before."

"What?"

"I never play with weaklings."

He Qingqing's cheeks puffed up like two little buns, and she pointed at Su Hao, shouting, "Are you calling us weaklings?"

"That's right," Su Hao nodded. "Everyone here is too weak; I don't take any of you seriously."

He Qingqing stomped her foot, pointing at Su Hao and yelling, "Snotty, Fatty, get him!"
