    Chapter 383

    Su Hao returned to his room with a much heavier mind, continuing to ponder everything Feng Yuer had told him.

    It was becoming increasingly clear that when the sects of this world openly recruited disciples every year, they were not doing so solely to nurture successors or pass down immortal arts.

    There had to be another purpose.

    Perhaps even Feng Ling and her master, Feng Hua, didn't fully understand what was really happening. At most, they could only vaguely sense that something was wrong. That might also explain why Feng Ling had deliberately delayed Su Hao's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

    Still...

    None of this was particularly important to Su Hao.

    His only goal was to learn.

    If someone truly intended to use him, he would simply eliminate them and continue studying.

    Of course, if the cultivation world itself turned out to be fundamentally twisted...

    He wouldn't mind correcting it.

    After all, as the saying went:

    "Only when everyone prospers can true prosperity exist."

    Mutual development was always the better outcome.


    ---

    "Still..."

    "I have to admit that Feng Yuer's intuition is astonishing."

    "To notice something was wrong so quickly..."

    "That's impressive."


    ---

    Su Hao also gained a new understanding of what people called the sixth sense.

    Highly intelligent people gradually build their own complete logical systems as they accumulate knowledge and experience.

    When faced with unfamiliar situations, their subconscious rapidly processes countless details before their conscious mind catches up.

    The conclusion that suddenly appears in their mind...

    Is what most people call intuition.

    Or...

    The sixth sense.


    ---

    Feng Yuer possessed her own logical framework.

    Whether emotional or rational, it allowed her to detect subtle inconsistencies that most people would overlook.

    That was why she sensed something abnormal about her master.

    Likewise...

    She instinctively recognized the unwavering confidence radiating from Su Hao.


    ---

    For Feng Yuer...

    Whether her suspicions were ultimately correct or not wasn't important.

    When personal safety was involved...

    Being cautious was never a mistake.


    ---

    Su Hao then reflected upon himself.

    "My mentality has changed without me noticing."

    "In the beginning..."

    "I struggled desperately just to survive."

    "I lacked any sense of security."

    "But now..."

    "After obtaining sufficient strength..."

    "I unconsciously project an unstoppable confidence."

    "My sharpness naturally reveals itself."

    "And it's becoming increasingly difficult to hide."


    ---

    Compared to before...

    Su Hao now acted much more cautiously.

    However...

    After experiencing so much over multiple lifetimes...

    His perspective had long surpassed that of ordinary people.

    Even when he deliberately restrained himself...

    The confidence, composure, and fearlessness he unconsciously displayed still made him appear fundamentally different.


    ---

    He admitted one thing to himself.

    He simply couldn't pretend to be an ordinary sixteen-year-old and slowly play through adolescence.

    At most...

    He could remain quiet and spend nearly all his time locked inside his laboratory conducting research.


    ---

    "So be it."

    "If my sharpness shows itself..."

    "So what?"

    "If it helps me learn more..."

    "There's nothing wrong with that."

    "Perhaps after living for many more years..."

    "I'll eventually learn how to completely conceal myself."

    "But fundamentally..."

    "I, Su Hao..."

    "Am different from everyone else."

    "No matter how well I hide it..."

    "People will still notice."

    "So..."

    "I'll simply let nature take its course."


    ---

    Although he often considered concealing himself...

    Every line of reasoning eventually arrived at the same conclusion.

    There was no need.

    Whether he liked it or not...

    His way of thinking had already diverged too far from ordinary cultivators.


    ---

    Taking a deep breath...

    Su Hao calmed every distracting thought.

    Then...

    His consciousness entered the Marble Space.


    ---

    With a wave of his hand...

    A massive experimental platform filled with Rune Arrays appeared before him.

    He resumed work on the unfinished Absolute Defense formation.


    ---

    Using the Barrier Rune and Hardness Rune as foundations...

    Su Hao successfully designed an extremely powerful defensive formation.

    It could already resist almost every conventional attack:

    Physical impact

    Piercing attacks

    Extreme heat

    Vibrations

    Energy attacks

    Corrosion

    And many others


    However...

    He still hadn't solved defenses against more advanced attacks.

    Such as:

    Radiation

    Force-field attacks

    Mental attacks



    ---

    "I wonder..."

    "Will I ever encounter enemies capable of using such methods?"


    ---

    He wasn't particularly worried.

    After all...

    He already possessed two ultimate safeguards.

    The first was the Opposing Space Barrier, which redirected nearly every attack that depended upon space itself.

    The second...

    Was the Marble Space.

    Even if everything failed...

    He could simply sleep for millions of years before reincarnating once more.


    ---

    Several days later...

    Su Hao finally stopped.


    ---

    "The current Absolute Defense is already capable of blocking most conventional attacks."

    "But..."

    "The structure is far too complicated."

    "It can't be miniaturized."

    "And activation takes far too long."

    "It isn't practical."


    ---

    After some thought...

    He proposed two possible solutions.

    The first...

    Integrate the entire Absolute Defense formation directly into the Diamond Armor of the Lifebearer.

    Whenever he transformed...

    The defensive formation would activate automatically.

    The drawback...

    Transformation would become noticeably slower.


    ---

    The second option...

    Compress the formation into a portable Artifact.

    Perhaps a piece of inner armor...

    Or a shield...


    ---

    "..."

    "Carrying a giant shield everywhere..."

    "Forget it."

    "That's ridiculous."


    ---

    He quickly abandoned the idea.


    ---

    "I'll leave Absolute Defense for now."

    "Once I've mastered Artifact Refinement..."

    "I should be able to miniaturize the formation."

    "Then it can be embedded inside rings, bracelets, or other small Artifacts."


    ---

    Taking another deep breath...

    Su Hao waved his hand.

    The Marble Space instantly transformed into an enormous library.

    Bookshelves stretched endlessly into the distance.

    Each section was neatly categorized according to the world from which the knowledge had been obtained.


    ---

    He slowly walked toward the curved bookshelf labeled:

    Cultivation World

    Finding the Artifact Refinement section...

    He casually selected a book.

    A chair silently formed behind him.

    He sat down...

    Opened the book...

    And completely immersed himself in study.


    ---

    "It has been a long time..."

    "Since I could lose myself in an ocean of knowledge."

    "I hope these books can keep me occupied for a while."


    ---

    Although the library contained what seemed like countless books...

    It wasn't as though Su Hao intended to read one book every day.

    His method of learning had always been different.


    ---

    He sought principles.

    Not conclusions.

    He searched for roots.

    Not appearances.

    He refused to become trapped by superficial knowledge.


    ---

    Once he understood the underlying logic behind a subject...

    He could derive countless applications from a single principle.

    As a result...

    He began reading slowly.

    But the further he progressed...

    The faster he became.

    Eventually...

    He only needed to glance at a table of contents or skim a few pages before accurately predicting almost everything contained within an entire book.

    At that stage...

    Books ceased to be sources of knowledge.

    Instead...

    They merely served as inspiration.


    ---

    It resembled mathematics.

    Once someone truly understood mathematical principles...

    Reading endless collections of solved exercises became almost meaningless.

    Occasionally...

    A particularly clever solution might still inspire admiration.

    "So that's another way of approaching it."

    But beyond that...

    There was little left to learn.


    ---

    This was the continuously evolving thought process Su Hao had cultivated over countless years.

    It had little to do with intelligence.

    It was the accumulation of experience refined to an extraordinary level.


    ---

    Half a year passed.

    After spending six months immersed in the sea of books...

    Su Hao had thoroughly mastered the foundations and common theories of Artifact Refinement.

    It was finally time for practical experimentation.


    ---

    Only then did he discover...

    His room was far too small.

    He immediately remembered Feng Ling's promise to give him an independent residence.


    ---

    So...

    He went directly to Feng Ling.

    Despite her obvious reluctance...

    He successfully claimed her private cave residence as his laboratory.


    ---

    Naturally...

    He didn't leave her empty-handed.

    Before moving in...

    He constructed a small Spiritual Energy Gathering Formation inside the cave.

    As long as a small amount of Spiritual Power was supplied...

    The surrounding Spiritual Energy density would continuously increase.

    It served as compensation.


    ---

    The moment Feng Ling moved into her new residence...

    She immediately refused to leave.

    Only then did she finally understand why Su Hao cultivated so quickly.

    What had looked like an ordinary cave...

    Was actually a cultivation treasure ground.


    ---

    Another year and a half quietly passed.

    Su Hao was now sixteen years old.


    ---

    In total...

    He had spent nearly two full years studying almost every useful book inside the library.


    ---

    Most of his attention had been devoted to:

    Formation Arrays

    Artifact Refinement


    During breaks...

    He also browsed historical records, biographies, and ancient legends.

    However...

    Everything available concerned only cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm.

    There was virtually no information about higher realms.


    ---

    The books on Formation Arrays provided only minor inspiration.

    His own understanding had already surpassed them.

    Artifact Refinement...

    Was different.

    After absorbing the complete theoretical system of this world...

    Su Hao's mastery had already exceeded that of many veteran refiners.


    ---

    The reason wasn't talent.

    It was perspective.


    ---

    Most refiners followed what Su Hao called the Instinct School.

    For example:

    "The harder the material, the stronger the defensive Artifact."

    So...

    They simply searched for the hardest possible materials.


    ---

    Su Hao belonged to the Principle School.

    He asked completely different questions.

    "How is the shield generated?"

    "Which variables determine its strength?"

    "How can those variables be optimized while minimizing material cost?"


    ---

    After combining the principles of this world's Artifact Refinement with his own scientific way of thinking...

    Su Hao had completely surpassed the refiners of this era.


    ---

    Which raised one final question.

    How exactly were the Artifacts of this world created?
