Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 5 Elective Course in Spiritual Studies

When Qin Xiaochuan saw the news that he could choose to study spiritual studies, he almost wanted to jump up and point at Han Kexin, asking her, "Are you kidding me?"

However, Han Kexin was not in front of him, so he could only imagine it in his mind.

"Let me study spiritual studies? No way!" he said to himself with certainty.

When talking about elective courses, we must introduce the academic system of Middlebury University.

Since the educational model of higher education institutions has been criticized in recent years, many universities have begun to carry out educational reforms, and Middlebury College is no exception. Among Middlebury College's series of reforms, its dual degree system is the most eye-catching.

This dual-degree system may be a bit complicated to explain, so here's a simple introduction.

The so-called double degree system means that schools subdivide majors (which is also the reason for the existence of the unusual major of ancient mythology studies), and then cut off the extra courses in each major, so that students can have a lot of free time to choose a second major.

The choice of this second major was entirely based on personal preference. Of course, some majors have their elective restrictions, which will not be discussed in detail here. What I want to talk about here is the importance of the second major to Qin Xiaochuan.

It is obvious that studying ancient mythology is a completely useless major. If Qin Xiaochuan relies on this major, he will be unemployed when he graduates in four years. There is no doubt about that.

But now that they have a second major, everything is different. In Gao Xiang's words, having a second major has given them a second spring in their lives.

This is actually the reason why Qin Xiaochuan and his friends chose to enter Mingde University. Otherwise, unless they were out of their minds, who would want to study ancient mythology?

The real purpose of everyone coming here is to obtain a degree in a second major that is listed as the top degree at Ming Tak University. You should know that being listed as the top degree at Ming Tak University is extremely valuable.

This explains the importance of Qin Xiaochuan's second major. It was not only one of the reasons he came to this school, but also his livelihood after graduation.

Next, let's talk about the Department of Spiritual Studies. This Department of Spiritual Studies is a new department that Mingde University established in the last two years. No other university in China has this department. Only some famous universities abroad have this strange department. It is quite mysterious within the university.

Out of curiosity, Qin Xiaochuan had also looked up this Department of Paranormal Studies online, but the information online was only fragmented, saying that it was roughly about studying paranormal things, but the specific content taught was unknown.

Qin Xiaochuan would naturally not consider such a course. Regardless of what the Department of Spiritual Studies actually studied, one thing he was very clear about was that the majors in this department were just as useless as his current major. Putting aside everything else, there was just one question: what could he do after studying this major?

This is definitely a real problem. After he gets those two degrees, he'll probably only be able to tell people myths or talk about supernatural events all day long. No wonder people will think he's crazy!

But now, that woman Han Kexin actually wants him to study spiritual studies!

What a joke!

This is going to ruin his happiness for the rest of his life! There's no room for discussion.

So after seeing that message, he promptly replied, "Impossible!"

"This is not a choice." Although he didn't see Han Kexin in person, he could imagine the coldness in her eyes.

"Why?" Qin Xiaochuan asked, somewhat dejected.

After asking the question, he stared intently at his phone screen, but Han Kexin didn't reply for a long time. Just when he thought she was ignoring him, Han Kexin simply replied with a few words: "To improve your strength."

"I won't do it!" Qin Xiaochuan thought the other party was joking. Was he really going to give up his bright future for this reason? Impossible.

It took her a long time to reply: "I already said, this isn't a multiple-choice question."

"I'd rather die than do it!" he replied again, and this was his true feeling—he would rather die than do it!

This time, Qin Xiaochuan waited even longer. He even suspected that the other party might not know how to type, otherwise why would it always take so long to reply? All he saw on the phone screen was: "I won't let you die, I'll only make you wish you were dead."

"Damn, this is seriously underestimating me! Do they think they can make me back down by threatening me like this?" Qin Xiaochuan thought angrily. The other party clearly didn't take him seriously at all. So he decisively typed a message on his phone: "Then bring it on! Do you think this will scare me? I'm not even afraid of death, why would I be afraid of your threats?"

After pressing the send button, his finger hesitated on the send button for a long time, and finally, he spinelessly chose to delete.

"This woman is the type who does what she says. What if I end up being forced to agree under her pressure? Wouldn't I be at a huge loss? It's better to outwardly comply but inwardly resist, and then figure out a solution later," he told himself.

Of course, there is an even more important reason: he is afraid of pain.

He didn't reply to Han Kexin's messages again, which could be considered a tacit approval.

Having accepted reality, Qin Xiaochuan carefully sorted out the information he had gathered, only to find that he still didn't seem to be very clear about the whole matter.

There are several key points that Han Kexin did not tell him. First, why the previous Blood Witch King, that is, his previous life, committed suicide; second, what is the current situation of the Blood Witch Clan, that is, he does not know how many people he, as the Blood Witch King, manages; and third, how the Blood Witch Clan interacts with humans.

The third point is probably what Qin Xiaochuan cares about the most. Although the other party wants him to be the Blood Witch King, he is still a human after all, and his relatives and friends are all human. If the Blood Witch Clan and humans are mortal enemies, how should he face them?

Another thing Qin Xiaochuan was also concerned about was what kind of state he would be in as the Blood Witch King. Although the Blood Witch King was not much different from humans, the other party was ultimately fundamentally different from humans, and could even be said to be a monster. Now that he was suddenly turned into such a monster, he really had no mental preparation at all.

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt very uneasy and suddenly didn't want to be the Blood Witch King anymore. Yes, he was a little scared. Although he had agreed to Han Kexin's request, he was forced into it at the time, and he hadn't thought that much about it back then.

But now, after careful consideration, he realized that this matter was not simple at all, because there were too many things he did not know, and even things beyond his comprehension.

This discovery terrified him; how to put it? It was a fear of a future he couldn't control.

This fear made him instinctively want to back down and give up, but he knew he couldn't, because Han Kexin wouldn't let him back down.

As long as Han Kexin is there, he has no way out.

Qin Xiaochuan took a deep breath to calm himself down. Since he had already come this far, he could only take it one step at a time. He thought about it carefully and decided that the first thing he needed to do was to understand his situation.

So he quickly sent Han Kexin a WeChat message, which read: "Could you tell me more information about the Blood Witch Clan, such as how many people there are now, where they usually live, and whether they usually show their faces?"

After sending the WeChat message, he waited for her reply, but after more than ten minutes, she still hadn't responded.

So he sent a second message: "As the king of the Blood Witch Clan, shouldn't I have the full right to know how many subordinates I have and their situation?"

Han Kexin still did not reply.

Well, what a proud and arrogant woman. Qin Xiaochuan sighed deeply.
