Looking at his son looking at him with a puzzled and innocent expression, Wu Yuntian really didn't know how to respond. Thinking of something, he suddenly sighed and said, "Xiangwu, you're a genius, a genius I've never seen before. But unfortunately, you were born in the wrong place. If only..."
At this point, he suddenly shook his head and laughed self - deprecatingly, "What am I telling you this for?"
Unexpectedly, Su Hao said, "Father, being born here is my luck. Let nature take its course."
Wu Yuntian smiled wryly, "You don't understand. You'll understand later."
"So, what should I do next?"
"I originally thought it would take you about a year to find the blood - qi. By that time, your physical quality would have improved significantly, and you'd be a bit older, which would be just right to start refining and transforming the blood - qi. I didn't expect it to be so much faster than I thought. You're not even four years old yet..."
Saying this, Wu Yuntian suddenly felt a bit helpless. Indeed, people couldn't be compared. Comparing always made him feel bad.
"Xiangwu, don't be in a hurry. You should exercise your body every day for now. I'll start teaching you how to refine the blood - qi a year later."
"Why? Can't I start now?"
Su Hao didn't want to wait longer because he didn't know when an accident might happen during his childhood. Just a small accident could be enough to cause the death of a young child. His father couldn't be by his side all the time, which was very dangerous for Su Hao. He felt almost no sense of security before he had some ability to protect himself.
Once he died in an accident, he would fall into a deep sleep again and wait for millions of years, and might not even have the chance to be reborn. The only way was to master the power of self - protection as soon as possible, even if it meant sacrificing some of his body's potential.
Wu Yuntian said, "It's not that I don't want to teach you. It's just that your body is too fragile now. It can't withstand too much power. For example, for a big rock, although you might have the strength to lift it, the strength of your arm might not be enough to bear the weight of the rock, and it could break. So, having a powerful body is a prerequisite for having strong blood - qi. Do you understand?"
Su Hao nodded and said, "I understand, father."
But he still said reluctantly, "Father, please teach me how to refine the blood - qi first. I just want to know how to do it. I want to learn the thinking process of transforming blood - qi."
Wu Yuntian shook his head and said, "No! Xiangwu, I know you're very smart. But precisely because you're too smart, I'm worried that you might add some of your own ideas. I'm not at ease with you figuring it out on your own. Refining blood - qi is very dangerous before you've really started learning it."
"Then father, please guide me to get started!"
"You're still too young!"
"I'm not young anymore, father. I'm not a three - year - old child!"
Wu Yuntian looked at his son speechlessly. If not three - year - old, was he three - and - a - half - year - old?
Su Hao immediately promised, "Father, if you guide me to get started, I promise I won't hurt my body. I promise that when I refine the blood - qi, you'll be by my side. Otherwise, I won't do anything."
"Xiangwu, why do you have to learn it now?" Wu Yuntian suddenly asked. He didn't think his son was throwing a tantrum like a child, desperately trying to get a new toy. There must be his own reasons for doing this.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Hao said truthfully, "I'm scared! Father, you go on patrol outside the outpost every day. I'm alone in the stockade. I can't even beat Nose - Tao and Fatty. If any accident happens, I won't have the ability to protect myself."
Wu Yuntian was silent for a long time. Under Su Hao's expectant gaze, he slowly said, "Okay."
Su Hao heaved a sigh of relief.
Then he heard Wu Yuntian say, "Don't mention today's matter to anyone."
Su Hao nodded firmly and said, "Okay! Will father teach me today?"
"Tomorrow!" Wu Yuntian let out a long breath, "Xiangwu, from now on, if you want anything, just tell me directly. I won't stop you anymore."
Watching Wu Yuntian leave, Su Hao waved his fist vigorously. Having a good father was so important.
...
The next day, Wu Yuntian talked to Su Hao about the study of the mind.
A person's consciousness can control the body's movements, whether to walk or run, which is all determined by consciousness. But the control of consciousness over the body is far more than that. Through training, one can even control the heart rate, the peristalsis of the internal organs, the ability of the digestive system, etc. And this ability of consciousness is called "psychic power".
Yes, it's the psychic power that can lead to life or death depending on its direction. This is the power of the soul.
Afraid that Su Hao might misunderstand the concept of "psychic power" and then cause some trouble according to his own understanding, Wu Yuntian carefully explained to Su Hao what he needed to do.
Su Hao didn't need to thoroughly understand the philosophy of psychic power like a master of the mind. He just needed to train in a specific way to successfully refine the blood - qi in his body.
Through reflection, Wu Yuntian deeply realized that if he didn't clearly explain the specific requirements to Su Hao, Su Hao would definitely give him all kinds of surprises, or rather, scares. Regarding the matter that Su Hao had thoroughly studied the "blood - qi", it was indeed because he hadn't clearly explained the specific requirements to Su Hao, which led to what happened later.
When everything was confirmed, Su Hao welcomed his first attempt.
Su Hao, sitting cross - legged on the mat, glanced at Wu Yuntian beside him. After making sure everything was okay, he slowly closed his eyes.
Soon, he entered a state of concentration, getting rid of all distractions and focusing on one thing.
Then he started to visualize according to the scenario created in "The Nine - Palace Blood - Interception Manual".
After a while.
"Did he succeed on the first try?"
Wu Yuntian's face was expressionless, but his heart was already in turmoil. How monstrously talented did one have to be to achieve this? Among their group of martial artists, the most talented person had to try more than ten times to succeed. And as for himself, it was better not to mention it. Could it be that his son had awakened some powerful bloodline?
The reason why Su Hao succeeded smoothly on the first try was, first, that his consciousness was that of an adult after all, and his self - control ability was very strong. Second, he had reviewed the scenario in "The Nine - Palace Blood - Interception Manual" again and again, so there wouldn't be any mistakes. Success was just a natural result.
An hour later, his body gave a negative feedback, and Su Hao woke up with a start.
At this time, Wu Yuntian handed over the vegetable - and - egg soup he had prepared earlier.
After drinking it, Su Hao immediately felt much more comfortable. He raised his arm and waved it, but didn't notice a sudden surge in strength. He looked at his father in confusion and asked, "Father, why do I feel that the blood - qi has increased, but I don't have an obvious sense of increased strength?"
Wu Yuntian showed a smile and said lightly, "Practicing martial arts isn't that simple. There's still a long way to go! Persist in refining the blood - qi bit by bit every day, and let your body gradually adapt to the existence of a large amount of blood - qi. It won't be until half a year later that you'll notice an obvious improvement."
"So long!" Su Hao's eyes widened, "Then can I continue to refine it now?"
Wu Yuntian shook his head and said, "That's enough for today. Your body has reached the limit of refining. Have a good rest and come back tomorrow."
Su Hao nodded. After his father left, he immediately entered the Marble Space and gave instructions to Cosmic Light to retrieve all his physical data within this one - hour period.
After the food was digested, it was decomposed into various nutrients and absorbed by the body. After Su Hao visualized according to "The Nine - Palace Blood - Interception Manual", a small part of the nutrients was intercepted and then transformed into blood - qi. Although it was only a small amount, the blood - qi had indeed increased.
Su Hao stroked his chin and murmured, "How can I speed up this process?"苏浩接下来应该如何面对自己的未来?吴云天为什么认为苏浩生在那里是幸运的?故事中提到的"那里"具体指的是哪里?
