Transform
Soon, the second engraving was completed.
As soon as Su Hao saw it, he immediately frowned. "Five new nodes have been added this time. It seems that the number of nodes is not limited to this. The good news is that three more stable nodes have been discovered."
Let's go again!
Su Hao dedicated himself wholeheartedly to engraving the beast pattern. As long as he had enough energy, he would engrave the beast pattern, putting aside other things for the time being.
He could engrave at least 20 times a day.
Ten days later.
Xiaoguang received data from more than two hundred engravings. After continuous comparison and adjustment, the structure of the beast pattern now fit Su Hao very well. Even if he engraved the beast pattern immediately, he could directly advance to a grandmaster martial artist.
However, he still felt that it was not perfect enough, and there were still some subtle places that could be further adjusted to achieve a completely smooth state.
Pursuing the perfect engraving of the beast pattern was unimaginable to others.
Normally, people would take at least a year of continuous adjustment, then try to engrave. Considering the possibility of failure halfway through the engraving, their patience would have been exhausted long ago. If they could find a structure that could barely be engraved successfully, they would definitely solidify it without hesitation and advance to a grandmaster martial artist.
Because not everyone had the ability of Xiaoguang to collect and analyze data. This long - term process of spending time and making attempts could make many people with weak willpower give up.
More importantly, without the guidance of Xiaoguang like a navigation system for engraving, most people would fail halfway when facing such a complex pattern.
Su Hao adjusted the structure again. After the engraving was completed, he observed the dynamics of the rune, repeatedly confirming that each node had reached a smooth state.
Suddenly, he frowned. "There is still a slight conflict and rejection at one node."
He immediately gave an instruction to Xiaoguang. "Xiaoguang, analyze node 94 and calculate the adjustment direction of the node."
"Calculation successful. There are six adjustment methods for node 94."
Let's go again!
Su Hao exited the pin - ball space again and started to try engraving.
As he became more proficient in engraving, his engraving speed had been greatly improved. Soon, the engraving was successful.
Su Hao entered the pin - ball space again to observe.
"This position doesn't work!"
Let's go again!
After Su Hao tried the fourth position.
A feeling of smoothness throughout the body penetrated his whole body. Su Hao immediately exclaimed in surprise, "It's done!"
He immediately entered the pin - ball space to observe the state of his body.
The rune between the inner side of the chest cavity and the spine seemed to blend with his body, extremely harmonious. It rose and fell with his breathing and the trembling of his muscles, as if it had been there since birth.
After carefully observing for a while, Su Hao found that there were indeed no problems. Finally, he let out a sigh of relief. "This is the structure! It can be branded and solidified."
After exiting the pin - ball space, he glanced at the slanting sunset outside the window and sincerely sighed, "Advancing to a grandmaster is really too difficult! It's hard to imagine how people in this world can complete such a complex engraving without the help of a computer! It can only be said that every grandmaster martial artist is a 天之骄子 of the human race."
"Fortunately, I can program! Indeed, knowledge changes fate." Su Hao was in an extremely happy mood at this moment.
However, he had an even more important thing to do, which was to solidify the brand.
Su Hao entered a state of concentration again, and his mind sank into his body.
"Solidify, brand!"
Under the control of Su Hao's consciousness, the blood - qi that formed the rune boiled and began to wriggle like a worm in his body, pushing aside the surrounding flesh and blood to form a pattern drawn by flesh and blood.
Su Hao ignored the itching when the flesh and blood were pushed aside and carried out the branding process step by step. "First, push aside the flesh and blood to form a pattern, and then quickly gather more blood - qi to fill it. As long as it is maintained for two days, the rune can be solidified."
When Su Hao filled the rune formed by pushing aside the flesh and blood with blood - qi, he opened his eyes.
Now, he just needed to wait for two days.
Up to this moment, Su Hao finally relaxed. "After ten days of high - intensity work and study, I can finally have a good sleep!"
After saying hello to the administrator, Su Hao left directly, returned to his dormitory, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
...
Two days later, while the flesh - and - blood rune in his body was solidifying, he also began to transform.
The "Perception Rune" in his body underwent subtle changes. Each node, as if conscious, automatically grew small tentacle - like organs, similar to ganglia, connecting the rune with the flesh and blood, and the two merged together.
The "Perception Rune" connected the nine palaces through the mysterious connection of the physical body and established a connection with the blood - qi in the nine palaces, making the nine palaces distributed throughout the body form a complete network, with the rune being the hub of this network.
The blood - qi throughout the body was also connected into one piece through this network.
The function of this network was far more than that. As time passed, this network would become a huge blood - qi storage container, capable of accommodating a huge amount of blood - qi.
What Liu told Su Hao about the difference between a bucket of water and a river was not an exaggeration at all.
If the amount of blood - qi that Su Hao used to store in the nine palaces could fill a bucket, then the newly formed network could now accommodate the amount of a river.
Now, in this network that could accommodate a river, there was only a bucket of water.
This made Su Hao feel that his whole body was empty, and he once again experienced "weakness" and "longing".
The characteristic of this rune was perception, which could greatly improve the perception ability. However, Su Hao did not yet 明显 feel an enhancement in perception.
He guessed that it was because it had just started and the blood - qi had not yet completed the transformation. Or perhaps the amount of blood - qi was too small, and he needed to completely replenish the dried - up river in his body to reach the "surging and violent" state that Liu mentioned before there would be obvious changes.
"Then next, I need to transform the blood - qi as soon as possible!" Su Hao had a new goal.
Half a month later.
Su Hao, who was sitting cross - legged on the ground, opened his eyes. Feeling the blood - qi that was only half - replenished, he couldn't help but say speechlessly, "In the past half - month, I have been transforming blood - qi at a high - efficiency non - stop every day. However, it has only been half - replenished until now? My efficiency is already fast enough. How long will it take for other martial artists to fill up their blood - qi? It will probably take more than half a year!"
However, Su Hao overlooked a very important factor.
That was, his rune network was different from others'.
When he engraved the rune, he strived for perfection, making every part of the rune natural and smooth without any stagnation.
For such a perfect rune engraving, the amount of blood - qi it could carry was naturally very large.
When others engraved runes, as long as they could operate normally, they were satisfied. The requirements were not high, so the construction of the rune network was naturally not complete enough, the amount of blood - qi it could accommodate would not be too much, and the attribute effects would also be greatly reduced.
If the average amount of blood - qi that other grandmasters could accommodate was compared to a pond, then the amount of blood - qi that Su Hao could accommodate in his body could be compared to a lake. The two were not in the same dimension at all.
This was the dimensionality - reduction strike of high - tech on primitive society.
That is to say, he didn't need to worry about how long it would take others to transform blood - qi. What he should worry about was himself.
Su Hao habitually entered the pin - ball space.

Except for the sharp increase in blood - qi, there were no other changes.
He then checked the log.

Suddenly, an item he saw made him stunned.
"The two - day annual competition will be held tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then it will be the holiday."
How time flies!
