Old Liu explained in detail to Su Hao the process for engraving the beast veins, how to adjust the structure, how to solidify the structure, and how to confirm the structure was suitable for one’s body, etc.
Before leaving, Old Liu reminded: “Oh yeah. In a month, our academy’s first, second, and third grade students will be entering a school year competition. You don’t need to participate. Your going would be bullying others. So just stay here and peacefully engrave the beast vein!”
Su Hao didn’t mind this. It happened to free up time for his own things, so he nodded his head in agreement.
Who knew that Old Liu would add something else: “The competition’s first place winner will receive a powerful combat skill, but it isn’t something that you need.”
Su Hao chuckled: “But who would consider themselves to have too many combat skills?”
Old Liu said: “If you want to learn, wait until you’ve successfully become a master and I’ll teach you.”
“Thank you Teacher Liu!”
Su Hao discovered that Old Liu was pretty good to him. He hadn’t seen anyone else receive this kind of treatment. This kindness could only be kept in the bottom of his heart.
Su Hao knew Old Liu wasn’t looking to gain something from him. Old Liu only felt that he was talented so he used his heart to teach and looked forward to the growth and becoming a strong warrior who could help shoulder the burden of the human clan. Perhaps this is the belief of a teacher towards the inheritance of knowledge, always preserving the sense of awe!
Su Hao felt more and more that each piece of knowledge he learned was so heavy. He thought as long as he lived well, there would be a future day where he would definitely give this world’s humans a big gift.
……
After Old Liu left, Su Hao found a peaceful spot on the third floor and opened the beast vein – perception.
Drawn on the scroll was a complex and exquisite circular pattern, similar to clusters of electrical wiring, twisted and tangled together. The lines were twisted and intertwined, producing a hard to describe beauty.
Perhaps it was the beauty of nature, the beauty of life.
Seeing the patterns, a question immediately popped into Su Hao’s mind. Could a year really be enough to engrave such a complex pattern into his body?
The people that could do this in a year really weren’t ordinary geniuses. As for the Human Emperor who had created it, one could imagine how amazing and brilliant he must be. 𝑖𝘳𝑎.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Su Hao took a deep breath and murmured: “Not only do you have to engrave it, you have to change its structure so that it suits your body. It’s so difficult I might not even be able to do it in two years. However… Who let me have Little Light? With Little Light’s help, I should be a bit faster right?”
When Su Hao first saw the beast vein, he recorded the beast vein pattern into “Cosmic Light”, and created a new knowledge entry names “Runes”!
These beast veins could be classified as runes and belonged to a branch of runes. After more and more runes were collected, he could study them further.
Su Hao’s consciousness arrived in the marble room and looked at the complex runes in midair, pondering on how to analyze them.
Since he had Little Light’s help, the process of rote memorization was very simple. You only needed to set the program and follow Little Light’s prompts.
Now the problem was the rune in its original form wouldn’t work because it didn’t fit with the body, leading to failure. Based on what Old Liu had said, one had to rely on instinct and slowly adjust the structure until success.
“Instinctive feeling?”
The corner of Su Hao’s mouth twitched. If his instincts were reliable, he would have made a killing long ago buying lottery tickets. He believed the most unreliable thing for a person was a “feeling”. If conversing with someone, if the other person said “I feel…”, definitely don’t believe it because it would basically be wrong.
These were the lessons that Su Hao had learned through blood.
Since “feelings” were unreliable, he would rely on “science”.
But due to a lack of comparison materials, Su Hao didn’t know where to start.
“Let’s just casually test a bit. As long as I start and slowly make attempts, it’ll eventually work out.”
Su Hao waved a hand and the marble room’s environment changed to a research lab with a large test bench in the center.
“Little Light, collect body real-time data, simulate 3D projection of body.”
“Little Light received.”
As soon as the words were spoken, a naked figure appeared on the testing bench. Hovering over it. It was Su Hao’s body figure. Every detail was clearly visible.
It not only simulated the body, it even simulated the blood qi.
Su Hao to give commands: Adjust perspective to 50%.
The body on the testing bench became translucent, the organs inside became faintly visible. Each heart beat, the blood flow, and the intestinal peristalsis could all be seen.
“Adjust rune “Perception” size, attempt engraving.”
The beast vein that had been floating on the side began to adjust its size then moved into the translucent body. Then it was engraved between the inner side of the chest cavity and the spine.
“Partially magnify larger 2 times!”
The engraved rune location was enlarged. Su Hao closely watched the rune and his body’s changes.
Continuing to issue commands: “Automatically simulate changes in body movement.”
After a while, Little Light sounded: “Simulation failed. Reason for failure: Missing data.”
Su Hao sighed.
Indeed, not having reference data wouldn’t work. It looked like he would need to personally attempt engraving to collect enough data before he could carry out a comparative analysis and automatic simulation.
Su Hao immediately gave a new command: Create task, engrave rune ‘Perception’.
“Task established successfully.”
Finishing adjustments, Su Hao left the marble room, sat cross-legged, and soon settled down.
At this time, in his perception, his body and Little Light’s simulation overlapped and a point of light lit up the inner side of his spine. This was Little Light’s prompt for where to start drawing.
Su Hao began to mobilize the elite blood qi to the point of light. The light began to move like a GPS system, with Su Hao’s blood qi following closely behind.
Just like that, following the prompts of the light, Su Hao carefully controlled the blood qi and slowly drew the pattern. As he became more proficient, his speed became faster, and soon the pattern was basically formed.
From start to end, it had only taken ten minutes. The first time engraving a rune had succeeded.
Blood qi maintained the shaped, and after confirming it wouldn’t collapse easily, Su Hao opened his eyes, and couldn’t help but reveal a smile: “With Little Light’s help, this process became much simpler. After a few more attempts, I might even successfully engrave it.”
Su Hao once again entered the marble room and used the 3D model of his current body state and adjusted the perspective to 50%. He began to observe carefully.
Very soon he discovered the dissonant area.
The blood qi rune in his body seemed to have received a rejection from his body. It was shaking slightly throughout and there were some places that were even slowly collapsing.
Su Hao didn’t rush and continued to observe the changes in the blood qi rune.
“Not all of the positions are incompatible! Of the 89 nodes, there are 86 incompatible, but there are three positions that are very stable.”
Su Hao’s eyes flashed.
He quickly recorded the two phenomena and added them to the database.
Then he retreated from the marble room, proactively canceling the blood rune and returned to his normal state.
“Again!”
Su Hao settled down again, adjusted the rune a bit under the premise of not affecting the three stable nodes, rotated the angle a bit, and started to engrave the second rune.
TLN: Merry Christmas! Bonus chapter!
Also, life has been getting busy again, so I’m planning on stopping after translating up to chapter 50 at my regular pace. After that, it’ll probably slow down even further. I hope you all can be patient with me.
