Chapter 26: Physical Condition
After dealing with the blue and white wave tiger on his own, Su Hao wrapped up the valuable parts of the tiger's body in a tiger skin bundle twice his size and carried it on his back. He quickly returned to the rock where Wu Yuntian was still standing and said, "Father, let's go!"
Wu Yuntian withdrew his gaze from the distance, nodded without saying a word, and jumped down from the rock, taking the lead. Su Hao tightened the tiger skin bundle on his back and hurriedly followed.
Back in the village, Su Hao greeted the familiar villagers along the way. Seeing Su Hao carrying a large tiger skin bundle, the villagers didn't find it strange. They only teased, "Wow, Xiang Wu had a good harvest today!" "So impressive!"
Su Hao just laughed, "Not at all, Father helped a lot." "If it weren't for Father, I would have been the one fed to the tiger."
Su Hao's figure disappeared around the corner.
A more agile and sharp-eyed He Qingqing continued to stare at the direction Su Hao disappeared, biting her lip.
The chubby boy had grown taller and bigger, completely losing his chubby appearance from three years ago. Instead, he appeared sturdy and strong, his height now matching that of Ni Tengtao.
He was no longer called Ni Tengtao because he no longer had a constant runny nose. So, people started calling him "Sha Tao" instead.
Sha Tao diverted his gaze and said enviously, "Xiang Wu has been hunting with his father for three years. I'm so jealous."
Su Hao nodded, "Yeah! When can we go out too?"
Sha Tao sighed, "I heard that Xiang Wu became a warrior a long time ago. The adults say he might already be an intermediate elite warrior."
Sha Tao sounded dejected, "I still don't understand what blood energy is... Maybe I don't have the talent for becoming a warrior?"
Sha Tao tried to console him, "Don't be sad, Sha Tao. I became a warrior only a year ago. You still have a chance to catch up. Just keep working hard!"
Sha Tao replied, "Okay... Could you tell me again how you found your blood energy?"
"Don't call me Sha Tao anymore. Look, I even changed and started calling you 'Sha Tao'." Sha Tao first pointed out Sha Tao's mistake unhappily and then proudly shared his experience, "It's actually quite simple. It was already there, you know. It's just right there, so you just have to look and look, and then you'll see it..."
Sha Tao seemed to be deep in thought, "I see..."
Sha Tao brightened up, "You understood?"
Sha Tao shook his head, "I don't get it!"
Sha Tao clicked his tongue, turned his head, and looked at He Qingqing, praising, "Qingqing is amazing. It only took her a year to find her blood energy. She's even faster than me. She's truly a genius. Only Qingqing has a chance to catch up with Xiang Wu, right?"
He Qingqing turned her head, glared at Sha Tao fiercely, and then stomped away.
Sha Tao, feeling bewildered, hurriedly caught up and asked, "Qingqing, where are you going?"
"To practice!"
...
Su Hao returned home, unloaded his equipment, took a refreshing bath, and then entered the Ball of Light space to check his own condition.
"Age: 8 years and 3 months;
Height: 146cm;
Weight: 45kg;
Physical Condition: Healthy;
Level: High-level Ordinary Warrior;
Blood Energy: 5;
Battle Techniques: Basic Knife Art (Mastery), Basic Footwork (Mastery); Shadow Glide (Proficient), Horizontal Slash (Proficient), Elusive Stab (Proficient), Strong Fist (Proficient), Charge (Beginner), Shield Strike (Beginner), Jumping Cleave (Beginner);
Variable Control: Blood Energy Enhancement Wave (Mastery), Muscle Enhancement Wave (Mastery), Bone Enhancement Wave (Beginner), Organ Enhancement Wave (Not Started), Five Senses Enhancement Wave (Not Started)."
The above is a program that Su Hao specifically developed based on his own situation over the past two years. Its main purpose is to monitor his basic condition at any time. He is most concerned about the "Physical Condition" section, which he has put the most effort into. He doesn't allow himself to die from some inexplicable illness like in his previous life.
The "Physical Condition" may seem like a simple category, but its scope of measurement is anything but simple. It includes various standards such as blood sample analysis, heart rate monitoring, urine testing, organ examination, etc., encompassing the entire body for real-time monitoring.
His ultimate goal remains unchanged: to live well whenever the opportunity arises, eliminate potential risks, and not fear death, but to avoid dying easily. What if one day he closes his eyes and never wakes up again?
The data after "Blood Energy" indicates the current level of blood energy in his body. It is based on the strength three years ago as the unit, which means that his current blood energy strength is five times that of three years ago. One can imagine the extent to which his physical strength has been enhanced in these three years.
This physical enhancement is attributed to Su Hao's mastery of the "Blood Energy Enhancement Wave" and his in-depth study of various bodily data.
He found that by controlling the "Blood Energy Enhancement Wave," he could control the strength of blood energy in his body. Similarly, he wondered if there might be some special substance that could control the strength of his muscles.
He discovered that the amount of blood energy remained at the limit his body could bear, allowing for rapid enhancement of his physical strength. Through long-term comparative research, he found the special substance that enhances the strength of his muscles and named it the "Muscle Enhancement Wave."
With continued exploration, he eventually discovered the variables for "Bone Enhancement Wave," "Organ Enhancement Wave," and "Five Senses Enhancement Wave" based on the nature of these substances.
Then Su Hao changed their names according to their properties, naming them the "Blood Energy Enhancement Function," "Muscle Enhancement Function," "Bone Enhancement Function," etc.
As long as he could control the variables that produce these special substances, he could control the direction of physical enhancement. Isn't this what functions are all about?
Su Hao has now become proficient in controlling the variables for "Blood Energy Enhancement Function" and "Muscle Enhancement Function," and has a preliminary understanding of the variables for "Bone Enhancement Function." Unfortunately, although he found the variables for "Organ Enhancement Function" and "Five Senses Enhancement Function," he still hasn't found a way to control them.
Currently, what restricts Su Hao's comprehensive physical improvement is his organs and senses. Once he finds a way to control the variables for these two functions, Su Hao's strength will undoubtedly reach a new level based on his current foundation.
The "Battle Techniques" section is just a casual addition, mainly to help him have a clear understanding of his combat power. The order is arranged based on his mastery level.
The proficiency order he set is: Not Started, Beginner, Proficient, Mastery, Masterpiece, Profound.
It's straightforward. Every time he sees this, Su Hao reminds himself, "You are an assassin, not a warrior. Don't be reckless
."
What frustrates Su Hao is that Little Guang's intelligence is currently too low and lacks a large amount of data. All the data mentioned above, except for the "Blood Energy" detection, needs to be manually adjusted by him.
For example, what constitutes Beginner, Proficient, and so on, Little Guang cannot distinguish and automatically grade.
Exiting the Ball of Light space, Su Hao begins to set his tasks for the day.
"Now that my blood energy and muscle strength have reached their maximum values and no longer need enhancement, I will spend one hour strengthening my bones and then another hour trying to control the enhancement variables for organs and senses."
Once he decides, Su Hao sits down, enters a relaxed state, quickly enters a state of concentration, letting go of all thoughts and focusing on one thing.
An hour later, Su Hao wakes up.
"Controlling the variables for bone enhancement is really difficult, which slows down the progress of bone strengthening." Su Hao frowned, feeling a bit helpless. He indeed had some difficulties in controlling the variables for bone enhancement, lacking the natural and smooth control he had over blood energy. "Being able to control it is already quite good. What's troubling is the organs and senses. No progress at all."
After adjusting for half an hour, Su Hao enters a state of concentration again, attempting to control the variables for organ and senses enhancement.
An hour later, Su Hao opens his eyes, shakes his head, and says, "Still no progress. How can I do it?"
If he can't figure it out, there's no point in forcing it. So he goes outside to get some fresh air.
Just as he steps out, he sees Wu Yuntian sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.
Taking a sip, Wu Yuntian puts down the teacup and says to Su Hao, "Xiang Wu, let's start teaching you the method to advance to an Elite Warrior tomorrow!"
Su Hao's eyes light up, "Why not start learning now?"
Wu Yuntian struggles to find the words for a moment and says, "... Habit!"
