Liu explained the process of engraving the beast pattern to Su Hao in detail, including how to adjust the structure, how to solidify it, and how to confirm whether the structure fits his own body.
Before leaving, Liu mentioned, "Oh, by the way, in one month, there will be an annual competition for the first - year, second - year, and third - year students in our academy. You don't need to participate. If you go, you'll just be bullying others. So stay here and focus on engraving the beast pattern in peace."
Su Hao didn't care about this. It happened to free up time for him to do his own things, so he nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, Liu added, "The first - place winner of the competition will get a powerful battle skill. But it may not be that important to you."
Su Hao chuckled and said, "Well, who would 嫌自己的 skills are too many?"
Liu said, "If you want to learn, after you successfully advance to a grandmaster, I'll teach you one."
"Thank you, Teacher Liu!"
Su Hao realized that Liu was truly kind to him. He hadn't seen others receive such treatment. He could only keep this kindness in his heart.
Su Hao knew that Liu didn't expect anything in return from him. Liu just thought he was a promising talent, so he taught him whole - heartedly, looking forward to his growth in the future and hoping he would become a strong person who could shoulder the responsibility for the human race. Perhaps this was the belief of a teacher, always maintaining a sense of awe towards the inheritance of knowledge!
Su Hao increasingly felt that every bit of knowledge he learned was so precious. He thought that as long as he could live well, one day in the future, he would definitely give the human race in this world a great gift.
...
After Liu left, Su Hao found a quiet place on the third floor and opened the beast pattern - Perception.
On the scroll was drawn a complex and beautiful circular pattern, similar to clusters of electrical signal ripples, twisted and intertwined. As the lines interlaced, an indescribable beauty came over him.
Perhaps this was the beauty of nature, the beauty of life.
The moment he saw the pattern, a question popped up in Su Hao's mind. Would one year really be enough to engrave such a complex pattern into the body?
People who could do it in one year were truly extraordinary geniuses. And the Emperor of the Human Race who had forcefully created this method back then was undoubtedly an incredibly talented person.
Su Hao took a deep breath and murmured, "Not only do I have to engrave it, but I also need to modify and coordinate the structure to make it fit my own nature. With this level of difficulty, I'm not even sure I can do it in two years. However... since I have Xiaoguang, with Xiaoguang's help, it should be a bit faster, right?"
The moment he saw the beast pattern, Su Hao recorded the pattern of the beast pattern into the "Cosmic Light" and created a new knowledge entry in the Cosmic Light, named "Rune"!
These beast patterns could be classified into runes, belonging to a branch of runes. When more and more runes were collected in the future, he could start researching them.
Su Hao's consciousness entered the pin - ball space. Looking at the complex rune materialized in mid - air, he thought about how to analyze and adjust it.
Since he had Xiaoguang's help, the process of memory engraving became very simple. He just needed to set up the program and follow Xiaoguang's prompts.
The current problem was that engraving this rune exactly as it was wouldn't work. It wouldn't fit his body and would lead to failure. According to Liu, by relying on an instinctive feeling, he could slowly adjust the structure and eventually succeed.
"Instinctive feeling?"
The corner of Su Hao's mouth twitched. If an instinctive feeling was reliable, he would have become rich long ago when he bought lottery tickets in his early years. He believed that the most unreliable thing about a person was "feeling". When someone started a conversation with "I feel...", never believe it. It was basically wrong.
This was a hard - learned lesson summarized by Su Hao.
Since "feeling" wasn't reliable, he had to rely on "science".
However, due to the lack of comparative materials, Su Hao didn't know where to start.
"Let's give it a try first. As long as I take action and keep trying, I should be able to figure it out."
With a wave of his hand, the environment in the pin - ball space instantly turned into a scientific laboratory, with a wide experimental table in the middle.
"Xiaoguang, collect real - time body data and materialize a 3D projection of the body."
"Xiaoguang received."
As soon as the voice fell, a naked figure instantly appeared on the experimental table, floating above the table. It was the projection of Su Hao's body, with every detail clearly visible.
Not only the physical body was materialized, but also the blood - qi in the body was presented.
Su Hao continued to give instructions: Adjust the perspective to 50%.
The body on the experimental table instantly became semi - transparent, and the internal organs could be vaguely seen. Every beat of the heart, the flow of blood, and the peristalsis of the intestines could be directly observed.
"Adjust the size of the rune 'Perception' and try to engrave it."
The beast pattern floating aside began to adjust its size, then moved into the semi - transparent body, and finally was engraved between the inner side of the chest cavity and the spine.
"Zoom in locally by 2 times!"
The area where the rune was engraved was enlarged, and Su Hao stared closely at the changes in the rune and the body.
He continued to give instructions: "Automatically simulate the changes in the body's operation."
After a while, Xiaoguang's voice sounded: "Simulation failed. Reason for failure: Lack of corresponding data."
Su Hao sighed.
As expected, it was impossible without data for reference. It seemed that he needed to try engraving several times in person. Only after collecting enough data could he conduct comparative analysis and automatic simulation.
Su Hao immediately gave a new instruction: Establish a task, engrave the rune 'Perception'.
"Task established successfully."
After finishing the adjustments, Su Hao immediately exited the pin - ball space, sat cross - legged on the ground, and soon entered a state of concentration.
At this time, in his perception, his own body and the body materialized by Xiaoguang overlapped, and a light spot lit up on the inner side of his spine. This was the starting point for drawing as prompted by Xiaoguang.
Su Hao immediately mobilized his elite blood - qi to the light spot. The light spot started to move, extending forward like a navigation system, and Su Hao's blood - qi followed closely behind.
Following the prompts of the light spot, Su Hao carefully controlled his blood - qi and slowly drew the pattern. Later, as he became more proficient, his speed became faster and faster, and soon the pattern was basically formed.
It only took ten minutes in total, and the first engraving of the rune was successful.
After ensuring that the blood - qi maintained its shape and wouldn't disperse easily, Su Hao opened his eyes and couldn't help but smile. "With Xiaoguang's help, this process has indeed become much simpler. If I try a few more times, I might be able to engrave it successfully soon."
Su Hao entered the pin - ball space again, used 3D to materialize the current state of his body, and adjusted the perspective to 50%. Then he started to observe carefully.
Soon he found the 不协调之处.
At this time, the blood - qi rune in his body seemed to be spontaneously rejected by the body. Every part was slightly shaking, and in some places, it was even slowly dispersing.
Su Hao wasn't in a hurry. He continued to observe the dynamics of the blood - qi rune.
"Not all positions are 不协调!Among the 89 node positions, 86 are 不协调,but there are three positions that are very stable."
A flash of excitement appeared in Su Hao's eyes.
He quickly recorded these two phenomena and added them to the database.
Then he exited the pin - ball space, actively cancelled the blood - qi rune, and returned to the normal state.
"Let's do it again!"
Su Hao entered a state of concentration again. After slightly adjusting the rune, without affecting the three stable positions, he rotated it by an angle and started engraving the rune for the second time.
