Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 198 Formidable Enemy

Si Chennan tightened the last screw, and the biomimetic wings finally completed the last step of the process. He carefully examined his masterpiece and wondered when he could take it out for a test flight.

The door to the research lab suddenly opened, and Si Chennan frowned as he looked towards the door. He hated being disturbed at this time.

"Dad?" Si Chennan exclaimed in surprise. In his memory, his father, Si Haotian, was always busy with the company's business and rarely took the initiative to come to him. Therefore, he learned his skills from his second uncle.

Si Haotian walked silently into the research room, carefully examined the biomimetic wings that Si Chennan had just finished, and then asked in a deep voice, "How have you been at school lately? I heard from your second uncle that you have started carrying out the mission of Tian Shu Pavilion."

"That was just a very simple task, there was no challenge at all."

"That's how it always is at the beginning. Besides, that's not your focus. You should be completing your studies and taking over the management of the company in the future," Si Haotian said expressionlessly.

"I understand." Si Chennan didn't argue with his father, because he knew that his father wouldn't come to him for no reason, and certainly not just to say these things.

"Were the two people who came to the exhibition hall with you today your classmates?" Si Haotian asked casually.

Si Chennan's heart tightened, but he still answered, "Yes, why are you suddenly paying attention to two ordinary college students?"

"After all, she's someone you're with. Can't I even pay attention to her?" Si Haotian said angrily.

"I've never seen you pay this much attention to me before," Si Chennan retorted.

Si Haotian was taken aback, unsure how to respond to his son's words. The two fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Finally, Si Haotian coughed and said in a deep voice, "In short, what I want to tell you is that you should stay away from those two people from now on."

"Is it that old, tired excuse about 'classes' again?" Si Chennan said dismissively.

"Class hierarchy is the best tool for maintaining family interests, and you are one of the beneficiaries. If you want to maintain your current vested interests, you must learn to use this tool well. They are not on the same path as you. Your vision should not be looking down, but up. I sent you back to China to study, not so that you would waste your time on meaningless people," Si Haolong said coldly.

"Higher up?" Si Chennan looked at his father in surprise. "Our family company is already one of the top listed companies in the country. What do you mean by 'higher up'?"

"You'll find out someday." Si Haolong looked intently at Si Chennan. "In the face of certain powers, so-called listed companies are nothing more than ants that can be crushed at will. That is the very top of the hierarchy. As long as we control those powers, our family can control the whole world."

Upon hearing Si Haolong's words, Si Chennan was deeply shocked. This was the first time Si Haotian had said these words to him. He suddenly felt that his family was planning something he didn't know about. At this moment, both his family and his father in front of him became somewhat unfamiliar.

"One day you will have to take over the family business. As the future leader of the family, you must learn to control your emotions and put the family's interests first. Do you understand?" Si Haotian asked.

"I can handle my own affairs and will not hold the family back. On the contrary, I will bring glory to the family," Si Chennan said confidently.

"That's good. I believe you won't let me down." After saying this, Si Haotian turned and left the research room.

Si Chennan watched Si Haotian's departing figure and fell into deep thought.

Si Haotian walked out of Si Chennan's room, past the large research lab outside, and arrived at the elevator door deep inside. He stretched out his right hand and pressed it on a panel next to the elevator. A pale blue light flashed across his palm, as if something had been activated. A camera at the elevator entrance turned on, scanned Si Haotian's eyes, and after recognizing his retinal information, the elevator door finally opened slowly.

Si Haotian stepped into the elevator, and as the elevator doors slowly closed again, he made a phone call.

"They've already found their way to this part of the exhibition hall... You personally take action... No matter the cost, you must eliminate them... This is our last chance."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, and the elevator, carrying him, plummeted downwards.

Qin Xiaochuan quickly finished his dinner, even ignoring his favorite braised pork.

He bought a bottle of Coke from the vending machine in the cafeteria and then walked quickly toward the back of the Department of Spiritual Studies building.

Today, Teacher Xin Wanru explained another way to use mental power: using mental power to explore the world around us, which can help us discover unknown risks in advance and improve our perception and reaction abilities.

In order to unravel the mystery of the enigmatic pattern in the Ring as soon as possible, Qin Xiaochuan has been paying close attention to his mental cultivation lately. Right after finishing dinner, he was eager to immerse himself in the ocean of the mental world. In the evening, there were hardly any people on the back mountain, and the quiet environment was perfect for practicing his mental cultivation.

In early spring, a gentle breeze blows, and the sounds of insects and birds fill the air—a perfect time to relax and while away the hours. But Qin Xiaochuan had no time to enjoy this pleasant time. Instead, he walked to a rock and sat down cross-legged.

"In the darkness, gather spiritual energy, observe all things, and roam the four corners of the earth." After Qin Xiaochuan finished reciting the incantation, he gathered his spiritual power into his spiritual platform and then released it as mental energy to experience the world around him.

As his spiritual energy was released, countless pieces of information from all directions converged into his mind. A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, and the leaves trembled softly in the breeze. Qin Xiaochuan seemed to be able to hear the breathing of the plants and trees around him. It was a state that was extremely close to nature. In this state, he could even feel the flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

"What is this?" Qin Xiaochuan asked in surprise, and quickly continued to project his spiritual power outward, expanding the range of his perception.

Suddenly, a tremendous sense of crisis overwhelmed Qin Xiaochuan. In an instant, all his attention was focused on a large tree, which was the source of his crisis.

Qin Xiaochuan immediately flipped over and stood up, releasing the Qilin Armor while assuming a defensive stance.

"Impressive, impressive, I didn't expect you to find out." A cold male voice came from the big tree in front of Qin Xiaochuan.

"Judging from your appearance, you've only just begun to master the use of mental power, yet you're so perceptive. Your talent in mental power is quite enviable." The man's words seemed to carry a hint of admiration.

"Who are you?" Qin Xiaochuan asked warily.

"The one who will take your life." The only reply was a voice devoid of emotion, accompanied by a growing murderous intent.

Fear suddenly gripped Qin Xiaochuan's heart. He felt a sense of despair, as if he had nowhere to turn. The other party had clearly done nothing, yet the intense killing intent had easily sliced ​​through his inner defenses like a sharp blade, making him feel as if he could only wait to die.

The opponent is very powerful.

Qin Xiaochuan was very clear that his opponent was the most powerful person he had ever met, and he had no chance of winning against him.

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Qin Xiaochuan's mind, but no matter what strategy he adopted, he could hardly find a way out.

The wind rose, and a mournful "whoosh" sounded in the woods. As the setting sun was about to fade and night was about to fall, a middle-aged man slowly walked into Qin Xiaochuan's line of sight.

The man was wearing a black trench coat and a black baseball cap, his face obscured by the shadow under the brim, making his expression impossible to discern. However, the palpable killing intent emanating from him was undeniable.

"Are you ready to face death?" The man's icy voice seemed to come from hell, reaching the depths of Qin Xiaochuan's heart.
