My Divine Diary

Chapter 47: Metamorphosis

Very soon, the second engraving was complete.

Su Hao looked and frowned: “This time there are five more nodes. It looks like the node count can change. The good news is that there are three more stable nodes.

Again!

Su Hao put his entire body and soul into engraving the beast vein. As long as he had enough energy, he would be engraving the beast vein. All other matters were thrown to the side.

Every day there would be at least 20 attempts.

Ten days later.

Little Light received more than two hundred recordings. After constant comparison and adjustment, the current beast vein structure was much more suitable for Su Hao. He could engrave the beast vein now and would be able to directly advance to master warrior.

But he didn’t feel it was complete enough. The subtleties could be adjusted further and reach a better degree of perfection.

Pursuing the perfect beast vein engraving is unimaginable for other people.

Ordinary people would need at least a year of time of constant adjustments,then attempt the engraving. Adding on the possibility of failure during the engraving, a person’s patient would be exhausted by this point. If they could find a structure that they could barely engrave successfully, they would definitely solidify it without hesitation and advance to master warrior.

Not every person had Little Light’s computational abilities to collect and analyze data. This kind of lengthy time, making attempts, would make many people without determination to give up.

The more important part was, without Little Light’s to guide the engraving navigation, normal people, when faced with such a complicated pattern, would fail halfway through the engraving.

Su Hao adjusted the structure again. After completing the engraving, he observed the rune’s dynamics. Each node was confirmed to have reached a stable state.

He suddenly frowned: “There is another node that produces a subtle dissonance.

Immediately he gave a command to Little Light: “Little Light, analyze node 94 and adjust the node position.”

“Calculation successful. Node 94 has six kinds of adjustments.”

Again!

Su Hao once again left the marble room and began to attempt engraving.

As he became more proficient with engraving, his engraving speed became much faster. Very soon he was done with the engraving.

Su Hao once again entered the marble room to observe.

“It doesn’t work here!”

Again!

After Su Hao attempted the fourth position.

A feeling of smoothness ran through his whole body. Su Hao excitedly said: “Success!”

Immediately entering the marble room, he observed his body’s state.

The rune on the inner side of the ribcage and the middle of his spine seemed to integrate with his body with incomparable coordination. Following his breath, undulating with his muscles trembling, as if it was inborn.

Su Hao observed carefully for a while and discovered there were indeed no problems. Letting out a sigh of relief: “This is the structure! It can be imprinted and solidified.”

After leaving the marble room, he looked out the window to the setting sun and sighed: “Advancing to master sure is difficult! I can’t imagine how the people of this world, without the help of computers, were able to complete such a complex engraving! It can only be said that each master warrior is a proud sons of humanity.”

“Fortunately, I can program! Indeed, knowledge changes destiny.” Su Hao was in an extremely happy mood.

However, he still had to do the important thing, which was to solidify the engraving.

Su Hao settled down again and his mind sank into his body.

“Solidify, imprint!”

Following Su Hao’s control, the blood qi that made up the rune boiled and began to wriggle like a worm in his body, causing the surrounding flesh and blood to form a pattern drawn by flesh and blood.

Su Hao ignored the itching as he drained the flesh and blood and followed the imprinting process step by step: “First arrange the flesh and blood to form the pattern, then quickly mobilize more blood qi to fill it in. Then maintain for two days and the rule will be solidified.”

Su Hao used blood qi to set aside the flesh and blood to form the rune and filled it.

Now, he only had to wait for two days.

Only now did Su Hao finally relax: “After ten days of intense work and study, I can finally sleep well!”

Su Hao exited, greeted the administrator, then left straight away and returned to his dorm to sleep.

……

Two days later, the flesh and blood rune had solidified. At the same time, he also began to transform.

The “Perception Rune” within had undergone slight changes. It was as if each node had its own consciousness and automatically grew tentacle-like appendages, like ganglia, connecting the rune with flesh and blood, fusing the two together.

Through the magical connection with the flesh, the “Perception Rune” passed through the nine palaces and established a connection with the blood qi within the nine palaces, forming a complete network where the rune was the hub of the network.

The entire body’s blood qi was connected via this network.

This network’s function wasn’t limited to just that. As time went on, this network would become an enormous blood qi storage container and could accommodate a large quantity of blood gas.

Old Liu had told Su Hao, the difference being a bucket of water and a river wasn’t an exaggeration at all.

If it could be said that Su Hao’s the quantity that the nine palaces could contain could be compared to a bucket, then the newly formed network could easily hold a river.

Currently the network with the potential to accommodate a river only had a bucket of water.

This made Su Hao feel as if his whole body was empty, and once again experienced “weakness” and “longing”.

The rune’s specialty was perception and could greatly raise perception ability, but Su Hao currently didn’t feel any noticeable improvement in his perception.

He guessed it was because he had just begun and the blood qi had not fully finished transforming. Or the blood qi amount was too low and he needed to fully replenish the dried river in his body and reach the “turbulent and violent” that Old Liu had spoken of before it became obvious.

“Then next up, transforming blood qi as quickly as possible!” Su Hao had a new goal.

After half a month.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Su Hao opened his eyes, feeling the half-filled blood qi and said helplessly: “In this half month, I’ve been efficiently transforming blood qi every day, but I have only replenished half? My efficiency should be pretty fast. Then how long would it take for other warriors to refill their blood qi to full? They’d probably take at least half a year!”

However, Su Hao ignored an important factor.

His rune network was different from the rune network of others.

As he engraved the runes, he tried his best to pursue perfection so that every part of the rune flowed well without any blockage.

Such a perfect rune engraving would naturally be able to contain an enormous amount of blood qi.

The rune engraving of others only needed to normally flow, without high requirements, so their rune networks weren’t as complete and they couldn’t contain as much blood qi and their attribute results would be greatly discounted.

If a regular master’s average volume of blood qi could be compared to a pond, then the amount of blood qi that Su Hao could contain was comparable to a lake. The two weren’t in the same dimension.

This was impact of high tech vs primeval society.

That was also to say, he simply didn’t need to worry about how long it took for others to transform their blood qi. He should only worry about himself.

Su Hao habitually entered the marble room.

Aside from the surge in blood qi, there wasn’t much change.

Looking at the log again.

Suddenly seeing a note gave him a shock.

“The next two days will be the two day school competition then it’s vacation.”

Time passed by real fast!
