The swirling snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the entire world with a white carpet. Wu Yuntian and Su Hao, father and son, stood side by side, quietly looking at this silent world in front of the eaves.
At this time, there were usually children playing in the snow, but today was particularly special. Even He Qingqing and other children, who were the most lively on ordinary days, did not go out to play.
Wu Yuntian glanced sideways at Su Hao and sighed inwardly, "This child is good in every way, but he's too precocious. This is the age when kids love to play the most, yet he appears so calm. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing."
His wife had died to protect this child. In his heart, he should have felt a bit of dissatisfaction and resentment towards this child. But somehow, he had let go of those feelings. The resentment in his heart had long since dissipated, replaced by anticipation for the child's future.
Su Hao stood quietly beside Wu Yuntian. It was rare for him to calm down and appreciate this rare snow scene. He didn't know what his father was thinking or why he was silent, and he was happy to enjoy the spiritual pleasure of watching the snow.
After a long time, Wu Yuntian spoke first, "Martial artists are a group of people who break the body's balance to obtain more powerful strength. The cultivation of martial artists begins when they understand blood - qi. Then, they continuously transform and accumulate it, break through their own limits, and climb to higher levels step by step. However, every step of progress for a martial artist is extremely difficult. Xiangwu, you've already encountered the first difficulty, right?"
Su Hao came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "Yes. The amount of blood - qi in my body seems to have reached the limit that my body can bear. Although I can still continue to transform blood - qi, it not only won't bring an increase in strength but will also harm myself. So, my question is, what should I do next?"
Wu Yuntian sighed rarely, "For ordinary people, there are three difficulties. The first difficulty is the accumulation of blood - qi. Different people's understanding of blood - qi leads to different accumulation speeds. It usually takes ordinary people 5 to 8 years to reach your level, and for some slower ones, it takes even longer.
The second difficulty is the blood - qi bottleneck. After a certain amount of blood - qi is accumulated, a new balance will be formed in the body. At this time, it's impossible to continue accumulating blood - qi. The balance must be broken before the blood - qi can continue to accumulate.
The third difficulty is the one you're facing now. When the blood - qi reaches the limit of the physical body, it can no longer be enhanced. At this time, there are two methods. The first method is to increase the strength of the physical body, raising the limit of the physical body. The second method is to change the nature of the blood - qi, enabling the blood - qi to develop new functions, thereby increasing the body's explosive power.
For example..."
As he spoke, Wu Yuntian casually rummaged through the snow, picked up a dead branch, and gave it a gentle shake. The snowflakes on the branch fell to the ground.
"Watch closely!"
The branch straightened and actually pierced deeply into the stone.
Su Hao's eyes widened. It was indeed a bit unbelievable for him, who emphasized science, that a fragile dead branch could pierce into a hard stone.
"Amazing! Is this the characteristic of an elite martial artist?"
Wu Yuntian nodded and smiled softly, "This is indeed a characteristic of an elite martial artist. Do you find it hard to understand?"
Su Hao nodded, then asked eagerly, "Father, how is this done?"
Wu Yuntian handed the dead branch in his hand to Su Hao. After Su Hao reached out to take it, he continued, "Look at this branch. Can it pierce through the stone?"
Su Hao tried it and said honestly, "No."
"Indeed, it can't. Under normal circumstances, a dead branch can never pierce through a stone. So, what pierced through the stone just now wasn't the branch. It was the blood - qi!"
"Blood - qi? Why can blood - qi be transmitted to the branch? Isn't the essence of blood - qi an energy substance in the body?"
Wu Yuntian shook his head, "I don't understand what you're talking about. However, it's indeed difficult to transmit blood - qi to the branch. This is also the hurdle for ordinary martial artists to advance to elite martial artists, but it's not impossible."
Su Hao asked with anticipation, "How?"
Wu Yuntian didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Make the blood - qi move."
"Huh?" Su Hao was confused. As he understood it, blood - qi was equivalent to an organ in the body. Making this organ move was like a joke, wasn't it?
But Wu Yuntian wasn't joking. He continued to explain, "It means making the blood - qi in the body move. The moving blood - qi will undergo new changes. At that time, the blood - qi can be easily transmitted outside the body to cause damage. For example, the branch piercing through the stone you saw just now was essentially the special blood - qi I transmitted to the branch that penetrated the stone."
Su Hao thought about it. What he said seemed to make sense, but it also seemed rather mysterious.
Su Hao asked the last question, "Then how should I make the blood - qi move?"
At this time, Wu Yuntian squatted down, put his hands on Su Hao's shoulders, and said very seriously, "Xiangwu, don't think about breaking through to an elite martial artist for now. Your body is too fragile. Breaking through to an elite martial artist rashly now may not be a good thing. Do you understand what I mean?"
Seeing his father's serious expression, Su Hao couldn't help but nod, "I understand."
"I have no doubt that you can easily break through to the elite level. I'm worried that your body is too fragile to withstand even the slightest risk. The blood - qi you have now is sufficient. Next, just wait patiently for your body to grow. After you have a strong enough physique, I'll teach you the method to advance to an elite warrior."
"Okay." Su Hao nodded in agreement, then asked, "So, when will my body be strong enough?"
Wu Yuntian looked at Su Hao for a long time but couldn't figure out what exactly counted as a strong - enough body. Since he was encountering a similar question for the first time, he didn't really know. So, he casually gave a rough time, "About three years. I'll teach you after three years."
"Alright." Su Hao didn't suspect anything and nodded in agreement.
Now that he was at the high - level ordinary martial artist stage, self - protection was more than enough. Having three years to slow down and study blood - qi in detail wasn't a bad thing. Moreover, what Wu Yuntian said was right. He was only a little over four years old, and his body was indeed too fragile. Even a small accident during martial arts training could be a disaster for his vulnerable body, which had no ability to resist risks. If he was too eager, it was possible that instead of being killed by a prairie wolf, he would end up hurting himself.
For Su Hao, managing his life was about managing risks. When the unknown risks were greater than the risks of practicing martial arts, he would take the risk of practicing martial arts to obtain more power. But when the risks of practicing martial arts were greater than others, he would choose to stop practicing martial arts.
Wu Yuntian thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Then, in the next three years, you'll learn martial skills from me. I'll take you to the wild for a walk when I have time."
Su Hao's eyes lit up, and he immediately said loudly, "Thank you, father."
"You'll have to endure some hardships."
"I'm not afraid of hardships."
Wu Yuntian nodded, looking at the snow - filled sky. He didn't know if this decision was right or wrong.描述一下父子俩此时的心理活动父亲会如何引导孩子释放天性?给这段父子相处的场景加一些细节描写
