Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Qin Xiaochuan didn't sleep well all night, tossing and turning in bed, constantly thinking about the Blood Witch Clan. Of course, after thinking for so long, he still couldn't come up with a solution.

But when he woke up in the morning, he immediately understood. Since he had no choice, he should just do as Han Kexin suggested and study spiritual studies first. As for the future, he could only comfort himself with the saying, "There's always a way out."

Since the second major can only be selected a month after enrollment, this matter can be put aside for now, as he needs to deal with another matter first.

He planned to have lunch with Xia Ruoyi today.

For the past two weeks since the start of the semester, he hasn't had a chance to have a proper chat with the other person. If this continues, their relationship might become distant.

Xia Ruoyi is not Qin Xiaochuan's girlfriend, at least not yet; the two are currently in an ambiguous relationship.

Qin Xiaochuan and Xia Ruoyi were high school classmates, but their real relationship began in the first semester of their senior year. Before that, they were just ordinary classmates to each other.

Xia Ruoyi is the typical well-behaved girl—quiet, obedient, beautiful, and diligent in her studies. Her grades have always been among the best in the class, and she is also the undisputed class beauty in the eyes of the boys.

Qin Xiaochuan and she became acquainted after they became seatmates. Although their relationship grew closer and they would occasionally say ambiguous things, she could immediately sense whenever Qin Xiaochuan wanted to confess his feelings to her and would decisively hint to him that she did not want to be in a relationship before the college entrance examination.

Qin Xiaochuan had no choice but to endure it time and time again, hoping that the college entrance examination would end soon. He had planned to confess his feelings to her immediately after the exam.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Before they could even meet after the college entrance exam, Xia Ruoyi was taken on a trip by her parents. During her trip, they had very little contact with each other online, so there was no chance for her to confess her feelings.

When Xia Ruoyi returned, their relationship had inevitably grown somewhat distant due to their intermittent contact over the past month, so the confession had to be put on hold again. After that, they both got into Mingde University.

Sometimes Qin Xiaochuan felt he was being too fussy. When watching TV dramas, he would feel frustrated when the male and female leads clearly liked each other but never confessed. But when it came to his own relationship, he realized that there were so many entanglements in a relationship. After all, it was his first love, and deep down, he always wanted to handle everything perfectly, to keep the relationship pure and untainted. As a result, he could never find the right opportunity. This was probably a case of trying to be perfect and ending up with nothing.

However, now that they are in the same university, they will have plenty of opportunities to be together in the future, so Qin Xiaochuan is not too worried. His next plan is to go on several dates with Xia Ruoyi to rekindle their relationship, and then find an opportunity to confess his feelings to her directly, hoping to win her over in one fell swoop.

Her birthday is in a month. If he prepares carefully and gives her an unforgettable birthday, his chance will come.

"Heh heh, I'm a fucking genius," he thought to himself.

He immediately called Xia Ruoyi, and as expected, she did not refuse him. After agreeing on a time and place, he hung up the phone and picked up the witch ring to study it again.

After Han Kexin sent him information about the Blood Witch Clan last night, he put the Witch Ring aside and now he needs to study it properly.

Qin Xiaochuan glanced at Gao Xiang and Ma Qichao, who were still lying in bed sleeping. These two guys played games until late last night, and probably wouldn't get up until lunchtime.

He got out of bed (their beds were the kind with a bed on top and a computer desk underneath) and went out onto the balcony.

He remembered that the ring was under his control, and Han Kexin had also said that only the Blood Witch King's soul power could use it.

Thinking of this, he decisively closed his eyes and silently prayed, "Baby, baby, can you grant my wish? Conjure up a wad of money for me."

After he finished reading, he immediately opened his eyes, but there was nothing in front of him.

So he thought to himself, "If I can't conjure money, I'll conjure a flame, like Han Kexin did yesterday." But the ring remained unchanged.

"Then just grant me superpowers and make me stronger," he thought to himself. He then glanced around the balcony and spotted the dumbbells Gao Xiang had placed there. He immediately went over and picked them up.

But the dumbbell was still so heavy.

Surely there wouldn't be an old man locked up inside too, would there? He remembered that this was a common trope in the novels he read, and maybe he would encounter it himself.

Thinking of this, he immediately closed his eyes, tried his best to concentrate all his thoughts, and imagined looking into the inside of the ring.

Then he saw a pale blue space filled with colorful liquids.

It's not really a liquid; it's a very strange thing. He couldn't even describe it specifically, only that it looked a lot like water, so he could barely call it a liquid.

The liquid has five colors: black, white, red, yellow, and cyan. They are not mixed together; instead, each color of liquid has its own fixed area.

Although their areas do not have a fixed shape, they together form a huge circular pattern, with the five liquids constantly rotating around the center of the pattern.

Qin Xiaochuan also discovered that the areas formed by the five liquids were not the same size. The red liquid had the largest area, while the black liquid had the smallest.

"What the hell is this?" he wondered, completely bewildered. He had no idea what these liquids were for.

Qin Xiaochuan tried to control the liquids with his consciousness, and to his surprise, the liquids actually flowed according to his consciousness.

Upon seeing this, he immediately became interested. He continuously controlled the different liquids, but those liquids could only flow in space. Whenever he stopped controlling those liquids, the liquids would gather together again to form a circle.

Interesting, he thought to himself. This circle must have some special function. Could it be giving him some kind of hint? With that thought, he moved the black liquid at the center of the circle away. Only then did he realize that a palm-sized pattern was hidden under the black liquid.

It was also a circular pattern. In the center of the pattern was a character he didn't recognize. It was a very complex traditional Chinese character. Around the character, there were five different colored liquids swirling around it. However, these liquids were different from the surrounding liquids. They were like a flat surface laid next to the character, completely unaffected by the other liquids, and also uncontrolled by Qin Xiaochuan's consciousness.

In short, it was a very strange pattern, and the liquids in The Witcher Ring were actually rotating around this pattern.

This pattern is not simple, it is definitely not simple, Qin Xiaochuan thought to himself. But after studying the pattern carefully, he still couldn't figure out what the pattern was for.

Not only the pattern, but also the liquid next to it, has no meaning other than being able to control it with one's mind.

Qin Xiaochuan was torn between asking Han Kexin, feeling that she should know what these liquids were and how to use them.

But after some thought, he decided against it. First, Han Kexin always ignored him, and he didn't want to provoke her. Second, although the other party had asked him to become the Blood Witch King, he felt that the other party was hiding many things from him, and he was now completely under the other party's control, so he had to be careful.

If, as Han Kexin said, this ring can only be used by him, then the secret within it will be the only thing he can't control, and it will also be a bargaining chip for him to gain benefits in the future. After considering all factors, he decided not to tell her about today's discovery for the time being.
