Revelation of the Way of Heaven

When Qin Xiaochuan saw the results displayed on the comparison card, he felt a sense of disbelief; it was exactly what he feared had come true.

Level 1 in spiritual power means he can't even pass the spiritual power test for the Department of Spiritual Studies.

It seems I can only turn to Han Kexin. Since she's the one who suggested I choose the spiritual studies major, she should have a way to get me in.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaochuan decisively opened his phone and sent her a crying emoji sandwiched between two smiling emojis on WeChat.

This is their secret code to prevent others from using his phone and leaking information. Each time, he first sends two smiling emojis and a crying emoji, and then the other party replies with an angry emoji and an eye-rolling emoji. This indicates that it is the person using the phone, and the communication can continue.

As for the origin of this code, Qin Xiaochuan was only half responsible, except that his suggestion was for the other party to reply with two smiley faces.

Enough of the small talk. Shortly after Qin Xiaochuan sent the code, Han Kexin replied with an angry emoji and an eye-rolling emoji.

Qin Xiaochuan immediately replied: "Studying the Spiritual Studies Department requires a spiritual power test. Only those with a spiritual power level of 2 can choose to study it."

After a while, Han Kexin sent a message that read: "What is there to worry about? You are the reincarnation of the Blood Witch King and possess the soul power of the previous Blood Witch King. Your innate spiritual power is at least level 3. What problem could there be?"

Upon seeing these words, Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes, not from sadness, but from being deeply moved. He never expected that Han Kexin would place such high hopes and trust in him, to the point that he didn't know how to tell her this cruel reality.

Qin Xiaochuan sighed softly and finally sent her a message: "But I just took a test, and my spiritual power is only level 1." To make it easier for her to accept this fact, he immediately followed up with a crying emoji after sending this message.

He then stared at his phone screen for a long time before she finally replied with a puzzled emoji followed by the words, "What did you use to test it?"

"I just bought the spirit-testing stone online two days ago," he replied.

After a long while, she finally replied with a simple sentence: "I will have Zhou Bin pick you up at your school gate at 8 pm."

So he immediately replied, "Okay, I understand." And then he never heard from her again.

The second time Qin Xiaochuan saw Han Kexin was in that villa again. She was still wearing a dark purple dress and sitting on the sofa.

As Qin Xiaochuan walked into the hall, she first gave him a deep look, as if confirming something impossible, before standing up and saying, "Come with me."

Qin Xiaochuan followed her up the stairs to the second floor, and then entered a secluded room.

The room was almost empty except for a strange circular pattern drawn in red cinnabar on the floor in the very center.

The pattern was a two-square-meter ring with four strange images drawn in cinnabar in the four directions of the ring, and a circle of words he did not recognize written on the outside and inside of the ring.

In addition to this pattern, there are six candles placed to the east of the pattern, which looks like some mysterious religious ritual in a movie.

The room was completely enclosed except for the door. After Han Kexin closed the door, the room became very dark, with only a chandelier casting a dim light, making the pattern on the floor look extremely eerie.

Looking at the empty room, Qin Xiaochuan felt a strange tension, because he didn't know why Han Kexin had brought him here.

"Go sit in the middle," Han Kexin suddenly said quietly.

Her voice was already cold, but it sounded even colder in the room, like a sudden chill that hit Qin Xiaochuan, making him shiver involuntarily.

He looked at her incredulously, only to see her staring at the eerie pattern. In the dim light, her face was ashen, devoid of any emotion.

"What are you going to do?" Qin Xiaochuan suppressed his fear, but his voice still trembled slightly as he spoke.

Han Kexin didn't even glance at him, still staring at the pattern, and said coldly, "The Blood Witch King was such an outstanding person. Even if he was reincarnated, his soul power would still be the strongest in the world. He would never be inferior to an ordinary person."

"What do you mean?" He stared at her, his eyes wide. Her words were utterly inexplicable. He couldn't fathom what she meant. Did she now believe she wasn't the reincarnation of the Blood Witch King? Did that mean she had to be disposed of if she wasn't the Blood Witch King? Damn it, it wasn't like I was the one who wanted to be the Blood Witch King in the first place.

Qin Xiaochuan was filled with trepidation, several thoughts flashing through his mind, and he couldn't take a single step.

"Go there right now!" Han Kexin's cold voice began to carry a commanding tone.

No, he couldn't let her manipulate him like this, so he mustered his courage and shouted at her, "Hey, can't you be reasonable? It wasn't my choice to become the Blood Witch King in the first place, how can you blame it all on me and punish me with such evil and cruel methods!"

When he finished speaking, he felt that he was absolutely right, not for any other reason than that Han Kexin frowned noticeably after hearing his words. Qin Xiaochuan thought that it must be his righteous and awe-inspiring aura that made her hesitate. It seemed that she was not the kind of person who was completely unreasonable.

If Han Kexin hadn't said that next, he probably would have put his hands on his hips to further intimidate him, but she coldly replied at that moment, "You're overthinking it, aren't you?"

Qin Xiaochuan suddenly felt like a deflated balloon, his initial momentum vanishing completely. Confused, he asked her, "What are you overthinking?"

Are you suspecting that I'm going to harm you?

"Isn't that right?" he asked weakly.

Han Kexin rolled her eyes at him before saying, "Do you think I would go to such lengths to harm you?"

"Of course not." Qin Xiaochuan understood her reasoning, but the scene before him left him no choice but to think more. So he pointed to the pattern and asked, "What are these for?"

"It's to test your soul power and spirit power," Han Kexin had no choice but to explain.

"Oh~" He nodded in sudden realization.

"Can we go up now?" Han Kexin's voice turned cold again.

"Okay, okay." For some reason, under normal circumstances, he always couldn't help but obey this woman's words.

Qin Xiaochuan ran into the circle, sat cross-legged facing the six candles, and then Han Kexin taught him to form a hand seal.

"Sit still and don't move!" Han Kexin commanded. After everything was ready, she ran behind him, made another hand seal, and began to chant incantations.

Her voice was not only soft but also indistinct, so Qin Xiaochuan didn't hear what she was saying at all. He only knew that the moment she finished speaking, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing behind him, and then the six candles placed in front of him suddenly lit up by themselves.

The candlelight seemed weak; even when lit, the room remained dim and even more eerie.

Qin Xiaochuan felt as if his heart was hanging in mid-air. He dared not move at all, and he didn't even dare to breathe too loudly, because this was a test of his soul power and courage. If he accidentally scared his soul away, wouldn't he become an idiot?

This situation lasted for several minutes (or perhaps not that long, but Qin Xiaochuan felt it was a very long time), and then Han Kexin muttered some incantations for a while, and the six candles went out on their own again, and the mysterious ritual finally came to an end.
