Radar

In the evening, Xiaopang found Su Hao.

The moment Xiaopang approached, Su Hao instantly understood what the "Perception" rune was all about.

Without relying on vision and hearing, he seemed to have an additional perception space.

He was at the center of this perception space, constantly radiating an inexplicable ripple. When Xiaopang approached, it was like water waves hitting an obstacle, immediately letting Su Hao, who was at the center, know that something was approaching.

Wasn't this just like a radar?

Xiaopang appeared in front of Su Hao, looking excited and a bit nervous. "Xiangwu, the annual competition is tomorrow. I'm in Group 7. Which group are you in?"

Su Hao withdrew his gaze from Xiaopang, closed his eyes, and could still accurately sense Xiaopang's position, as if he was wearing an infrared thermal imager. When he opened his eyes and looked at Xiaopang again, his vision and perception overlapped without any unnaturalness.

While experimenting, Su Hao replied casually, "Ah, about this, I'm not really sure."

Xiaopang was shocked. "What? You don't even care about this? I heard that the first - place winner of the annual competition will get a very powerful footwork battle skill called 'Grouse - Treading Step'. With your strength, you can definitely win first place. It would be a pity if you missed the competition because you didn't care."

Su Hao said indifferently, "Since you know I can surely win first place, it doesn't matter much whether I go or not. I don't want to bully others. Let's give others some hope. I can't try to get all the benefits."

Xiaopang thought for a moment and nodded. "You have a point."

Then he said excitedly, "Xiangwu, my strength has reached the mid - level martial artist level. Our class teacher said I'm a genius too! I'll be on stage for the competition early tomorrow morning. I'll definitely perform well and strive for a good ranking. Xiangwu, you must come and watch me."

Su Hao nodded. "No problem. But what about Qingqing? Which group is she in?"

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Su Hao sensed that someone was approaching quickly, as if running all the way. The fluctuation intensity in his perception was a bit stronger than Xiaopang's.

Su Hao turned his head and saw that it was He Qingqing.

"Xiangwu!" When He Qingqing approached and entered, she found that Xiaopang was also there. Her originally nervous mood immediately relaxed a lot. He Qingqing showed a bright smile and said, "Xiangwu, Xiaopang, you're both here!"

Xiaopang immediately said, "Qingqing, we were just talking about you. Which group are you in for tomorrow?"

He Qingqing said, "For the preliminary round tomorrow, all the girls are in the last three groups. I'm in Group 11. What about you guys?"

Xiaopang said, "I'm in Group 7. Xiangwu said he won't participate in the competition. It's a pity. If Xiangwu won the first place, it would be great if he could show me that 'Grouse - Treading Step'."

Su Hao smiled and said, "If I participated, to be honest, the annual competition would lose most of its fun and become my one - man show."

He Qingqing looked at Su Hao expectantly. "Xiangwu, will you come and watch my competition tomorrow?"

Su Hao nodded readily. "Of course!"

Since the incident of single - handedly challenging the entire third - year students last time, He Qingqing seemed like a different person. She became much more cheerful in front of Su Hao.

Su Hao thought that He Qingqing had always remembered the grudges from childhood and didn't get close to him. Unexpectedly, she had suddenly changed, as if she had returned to her childhood.

Hearing Su Hao's answer, He Qingqing immediately became excited.

Xiaopang immediately said, "Qingqing, I'll definitely come to watch your competition too."

He Qingqing nodded and smiled at Xiaopang. "Thank you, Xiaopang!"

Su Hao said, "Since there's still time, do you need me to help you train?"

Unexpectedly, He Qingqing immediately refused. "No, I want to rely on myself. I can do it!"

Xiaopang hesitated for a moment. He wanted to say that he needed Su Hao's help, but seeing He Qingqing's determined look, he also shook his head. "I'll practice on my own. I can do it myself! I've been working very hard this year."

"Then I wish you both good luck in the competition tomorrow and hope you get good results." Su Hao nodded.

He could understand that the teenagers were eager to prove their abilities. However, if it were him, he would definitely not refuse the help of others.

The help of others could accelerate the speed of progress. Why not? The time saved could be used to do more interesting and meaningful things in the future.

He would never miss the opportunity to learn new knowledge just because of some inexplicable sense of self - reliance. What should be learned must be learned. As long as he had enough respect for the knowledge transmitter and the knowledge itself, that would be fine.

After Xiaopang and He Qingqing left, Su Hao started to study the blood - qi network again.

Although the amount of blood - qi now was still less than half of the body's capacity limit, compared to before, it could be called a huge amount.

If he were to release such a huge amount of blood - qi in an instant, the power that could be unleashed was beyond his imagination.

"The newly acquired perception ability can only sense blood - qi. Inanimate objects without blood - qi can't be sensed at all."

"When Xiaopang and Qingqing left the 100 - meter range, I couldn't sense them anymore. Based on this calculation, my perception range is probably about 100 meters, but it's not completely accurate.

There is a slight difference in the perception range of Xiaopang and Qingqing. Qingqing's blood - qi is stronger than Xiaopang's, and I can sense Qingqing at a farther range than Xiaopang. So, it can be considered that my perception range fluctuates with the amount of blood - qi. The stronger the blood - qi, the larger the range I can sense."

"Also, I've noticed that the blood - qi of each person gives a different feeling. Xiaopang's blood - qi gives me the feeling of being bloated and loose, with the characteristic of being soft and lacking in explosiveness. Qingqing gives me the feeling of being capable and restless, with the characteristic of being active. That is to say..."

"Mobile map!"

That's right. What Su Hao thought of were the online games he used to play, such as League of Legends, King of Glory, etc. There was a small map in the upper - left corner where you could observe the movements of teammates or enemies at any time.

His "Perception" rune, combined with the system "Xiaoguang", could completely achieve the effect of opening a private map.

Su Hao quickly entered the pin - ball space and started writing the corresponding map program.

First, he established a character database and a biological database, automatically classifying and recording all the people and other blood - qi - containing creatures he had encountered into their respective databases.

Then, he found the area in the pin - ball space that recorded perception, and separately created a program named "Radar", coordinating and synchronizing his perception with the radar.

Next, he added notes, naming different blood - qi levels, directly distinguishing them according to the martial artist levels in this world. Low - level ordinary, mid - level ordinary, high - level ordinary, completely non - threatening, in gray font; low - level elite, mid - level elite, high - level elite, in white font, non - threatening; low - level grandmaster, mid - level grandmaster, high - level grandmaster, in yellow font, with a certain threat. Higher levels would need to be added later.

Finally, he synchronized the surrounding map in real - time. This was a bit difficult, but Su Hao didn't have high requirements. He only needed to use some simple squares and lines to depict the main obstacles.

Su Hao started by entering the data of Xiaopang and He Qingqing into the radar and began the trial run.

At this time, the radar was empty.

Su Hao immediately got up and walked outside.

He was going out for a walk to collect more information and fill the database.

Soon, Su Hao met the first person.

"Record, name: Student 00001, low - level ordinary."

With Su Hao's command, in his perception, that person was no longer a red pattern but turned into a circular face icon, similar to the small map in League of Legends. On the circular icon, in gray font, it was written: Student 00001. The circular icon moved in real - time as the student moved.

"It worked!"

Su Hao knew that this 100 - meter range was not the limit. As he gradually adapted and the amount of blood - qi was filled, this range would continue to expand.

Su Hao was overjoyed and started wandering around the academy. Almost within a 100 - meter range, he recorded every person he saw, having a great time.

When he squeezed into a crowd, the perception space was filled with a large number of circular icons, but it didn't seem chaotic. Instead, it was clear - cut, and he could easily find the corresponding person at a glance. When he moved away, it became empty again.

However, what Su Hao didn't know was that his abnormal behavior of wandering around the academy, doing a series of strange things, was seen by all the students.

As a result, a strange piece of gossip spread throughout the academy.

"The Violent Flying Man Wu Xiangwu is acting strangely and abnormally tonight. He is wandering around the academy aimlessly, as if looking for an attack target. Everyone, be careful and stay away if you encounter him. Take care."
