My Divine Diary

“Xiangwu, you should already know how to break through to elite warrior right?”

Su Hao nodded: “I know. Father already told me before. As long as I can make the blood qi within move and become something new, and have it rush out the body, then I would have successfully promoted to an elite warrior.”

“Our warriors in Cha Mountain Outpost are mostly elite warriors. You know them. For example Uncle Captain Yong, or Old Uncle Li, or Uncle Gao. Would you be able to tell them apart from normal people with a single glance?”

“The difference?” Su Hao frowned. He had never thought about it.

The difference between elite warriors and ordinary people, aside from their strength, what else was different?

Su Hao couldn’t figure it out and sent his consciousness to the marble room to have Little Light compare the Cha Mountain Outpost’s ordinary people and warriors side by side, making a comparison and see if there was anything different.

Soon Su Hao found the clue.

“The atmospheres are different!”

A powerful warrior’s atmosphere would definitely be stronger than an ordinary person’s. Without a doubt, the answer to Wu Yuntian’s question was not this.

Thinking, Su Hao’s eyes lit up and he faced Wu Yuntian: “I know! The mentality is different. Elite warriors have a more filled atmosphere.

Wu Yuntian revealed a rare smile and nodded: “That’s right. It’s precisely mentality. The key to breaking through to elite warrior is your mentality!”

Su Hao scratched his head. With the direction things were going, it looked like “Heart Studies” were coming up again. It seemed like learning martial arts and heart studies were related!

Looking at Su Hao’s dazed expression, Wu Yuntian finally laughed: “It’s not too hard to analyze. I first want you to think of a question. Why do you think blood qi can be moved?”

Su Hao thought about it. Without an external force, the blood qi was stored in the body, so how could it move? Unable to figure it out, he shook his head: “I don’t know.”

His relation with Wu Yuntian was more like teacher and student rather than father and son. If you don’t understand, just ask.

Wu Yuntian said: “Because blood qi hasn’t received your active control.”

Su Hao appeared puzzle. Couldn’t he control the explosion of blood qi? But he still quietly listened to Wu Yuntian’s explanation.

Wu Yuntian casually picked up a rock in his hand and asked Su Hao: “This rock is currently under whose control?”

“Father’s.”

“Why?”

Su Hao obediently said: “Because the rock is in your hand.”

That’s right. Because the controlling authority of the rock is with me and not you, if I want it to move, it will move. If I want it to be still, it’s still. Blood qi is the same.”

Saying this, Wu Yuntian gave tossed the rock to Su Hao and continued: “Your blood qi is like this rock. The authority to control is currently in your body’s hands, not your consciousness’s hands. You need to wrest away the authority to control blood qi from your body. At that time, if you want it to move, it’ll move. If you want it to be still, it’s still. It will follow your will.”

Su Hao received the rock and loudly said: “So it was like that.”

Suddenly discovering his dad was really awesome. He could always teach such abstract things using a very practical way so he could more quickly understand the underlying logic. It looks like he had spent a lot of effort.

Wu Yuntian continued: “In order to grasp the blood qi control authority is very simple. As long as your consciousness is stronger than your body, you can take the authority to control. Thus, you need to strengthen your consciousness, that is your spirit.”

Su Hao nodded again: “How do I strengthen it?”

That was the key point. The theory is important, but the method is more important.

Wu Yuntian said: “Before I talk about strengthening your spirit, I have to emphasize some things you need to be careful of while cultivating. It’s very important.”

Su Hao listened attentively.

“Three stricts four diligents five don’ts; strict self-discipline; strict with promises; strict principles; diligent thinking, diligent studying; diligent safety; diligent respect; don’t argue, don’t say too much, don’t quibble, don’t deny yourself; don’t overindulge.”

Wu Yuntian strictly said: “Do you remember?”

Su Hao nodded and repeated the three stricts four diligence five don’ts back to him.

Wu Yuntian nodded: “Good. I’ll teach you the method to cultivate your spirit.”

……

Except for the daily one hour he used to strengthen his bones, the rest of his time was spent improving his spirit. Based on the method taught by Wu Yuntian, he began to daily retreat and try.

There were no tricks to training the spirit like there had been for blood qi transformation. It needed to honestly accumulate step by step. Little Light’s role as a helper was to just help Su Hao report on Su Hao’s daily changes, then choose the most efficient way, letting Su Hao continually adjust his state.

As Su Hao whole-heartedly devoted himself to training his spirit, time passed very quickly. Su Hao’s entire person became more radiant and energetic. To him, his self control over himself had gradually increased, like controlling the contraction of a certain muscle, or controlling his heart rate, etc, it was all very simple.

One day half a year later, Su Hao once again tried to control his blood qi to move. Originally he thought it would be as still as always, he hadn’t imagined that a part of the blood qi controlled by his consciousness had actually moved a tiny bit. Just this tiny bit of movement made Su Hao wild with joy.

Although it was only a hint of movement before it returned to its still state, Su Hao understood that he had succeeded. After half a year of continually working hard to in retreats, his spirit finally reached a breakeven point. As long as he continued to work hard, his body’s blood qi would soon be able to move within his body.

Su Hao put away his chaotic thoughts and once again sat still, adjusting his body and mind to its peak state, exercising his spirit.

又过半年。苏浩9岁。

Another half year. Su Hao turned 9 years old.

At this time, he was already able to freely control his internal blood qi and have it circulate according to the “Nine Palace Severing Scripture”.

However, he still couldn’t be considered a legitimate elite warrior, only half. Because even though he could make the blood qi circulate, he hadn’t been able to complete the blood qi transformation and use blood qi to move outside.

According to how it was written in “Nine Palace Severing Scripture”, he needed fast vibrations to make the blood qi complete the transformation.

But Su Hao felt that he would succeed in the transformation soon. The transformation occurred this day.

His entire spirit was immersed in his body. His internal blood qi circulated according to Nine Palace Severance Scripture’s technique, dividing into nine special spots independently moving, vibrating quickly.

After the blood qi vibrated, the blood qi slowly secreted a special substance that resembled both liquid and gas.

Su Hao knew that this colorless special substance was the elite-level blood qi.

After elite blood qi had been formed, it was stably stored in the body’s special positions and could be used at any time.

After a while, Su Hao discovered that the conversion from common blood qi to elite blood qi was too slow.

The efficiency of the vibrations was too low. Based on this speed, a full day still wouldn’t be enough to fully convert all of his body’s common blood qi to elite blood qi.

Su Hao frowned. He carefully observed the transformation process to discover the basis for how it transformed.

Suddenly he discovered this transformation process was a bit familiar. Wasn’t a bit like chemistry’s separation of impurities?

“Maybe I can do this?”

Su Hao thought of the way that a washing machine removed the water through high speed spins, using centrifugal force to quickly remove the water.

He thought of it, so he tried it. Su Hao immediately tried to control the blood qi to begin rotating. Soon the blood qi formed nine vortexes, moving more and more quickly.

Once the blood qi movement speed reached a certain threshold, suddenly, a special substance began to leak out from the blood qi. It was elite blood qi. Quantity rapidly increased. The blood qi vortexes were quickly consumed, becoming smaller and smaller until they disappeared.

The blood qi in the vortex positions had already all been converted into elite blood qi.

“Does this count as a successful transformation? It’s so miraculous. This is the blood qi change in state that father talked about!”

“The original vibration method of transforming blood qi such low efficiency. As for my kind where I simulated a washing machine’s rotations method has an efficiency over ten times better. Through high speed rotation, using the principle of separation via centrifugal force, I can quickly separate the elite blood qi from the common blood qi.”

Su Hao praised his own cleverness.

Then he curiously observed this newly earned colorless substance, the elite blood qi.

He tried to make the elite blood qi move, and discovered that controlling it was more relaxed than common blood qi.

This kind of elite blood qi, with a single thought, could reach any position within the body.

Su Hao casually grabbed his knife and had the elite blood qi flow through his arm outwards, covering the entire knife. He pointed it towards a rock on the ground and poked it.

“Poof~”

The knife actually sank into the rock like it was tofu up to the handle.

“Amazing!!” Su Hao was completely shocked.

Was this the power of elite blood qi? Too strong. It wasn’t inferior at all to the legendary true qi inner strength!
