Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 022 Doubts and Explanations

Luo Xi looked at the rose.

When she discovered extraordinary power but could not possess it, in that moment of despair, a witch guided her to obtain extraordinary power and embark on the path of cultivation.

The witch who saved her when she was about to unlock the defeat cutscene after losing the battle.

Mysterious, dangerous, powerful, tranquil, unfathomable—that's how Luo Xi felt.

Eternal Witch, Rose of Darkness!

Longing? Gratitude? I have absolutely no idea what kind of feeling it is.

"Can you put me down?" Luo Xi finally spoke. The green plants were very tough, and Luo Xi was entangled by them and couldn't move at all.

"No, that won't do," Rose said quietly, the plants supporting Luo Xi as she moved. "You're too badly injured."

"Are you a witch from the Witch Council?" Luo Xi thought for a moment, then finally asked to confirm.

"Yes and no..." Rose didn't move. "Your witch transformation is problematic."

"You should have already encountered the anomalous entity," Rose said, puzzled. "And you even defeated it, gaining the characteristics brought by the anomalous core."

"You mean the construction debris monster?" Luo Xi nodded in response. "I destroyed a building and crushed it to death."

"It wasn't that you were crushed, but that you suppressed the abnormal power. I told you before that only the abnormal can fight against the abnormal, and only a witch can fight against a witch. The power of the abnormal and the magic of the witch are mutually opposed, but the more fundamental thing is actually the confrontation between the extraordinary and the extraordinary." Rose explained quietly.

"According to the Witch Council's classification, you, whose magic possesses two characteristics, should barely qualify as an E-rank witch. However, your magic power doesn't even reach the lowest level, F-rank."

"So, there's something wrong with your witch transformation."

The issue of witchification? Luo Xi didn't think there was any problem, but considering the potential hidden dangers, she still asked, "Tell me more about the Witch Council's classification of witches."

"The Witch Council divides witches into 7 ranks: S, A, B, C, D, E, and F. Based on their characteristics, witches are further divided into scholar, support, and combat types."

"You and your sister Luo Xin are both F-rank witches, beginner witches, which, according to classification, should be considered combat-type. Theoretically speaking, since you are of the same rank, your magic reserves should be roughly the same," Rose explained.

"Among them, every two levels, such as E and F, are considered beginners, C and D are considered intermediates, and so on."

"I remain skeptical about the existence of S-rank witches, after all, the highest-ranking witch I've ever seen is only C-rank."

"And I am a D-rank witch. Both C-rank and D-rank witches are considered intermediate-level witches," Rose quietly explained to Luo Xi.

"My sister, Luo Xin," Luo Xi said, still puzzled, "as soon as she saw me, she said I killed our parents. What's the reason?"

Thinking that Rose was a scholar-type witch, Luo Xi hoped to get the answer from Rose.

"The birth of a witch is usually accompanied by abnormal conflict, which means that there must be abnormal entities or abnormal phantoms in the abnormal events. It was these abnormal entities or phantoms that killed your parents."

"It's obvious that your sister Luo Xin won the battle against the anomaly, but during her subsequent transformation into a witch, possibly because the anomaly caused the deaths of your parents, your sister refused to devour the anomaly's core. This is also the problem your sister encountered during her witch transformation."

"Back then, you exchanged blood, and her magic and abnormal core were transferred to you, which also completed your witch transformation and turned you into a witch."

"You should have noticed that witches are very sensitive to anomalies. Most likely, your sister initially mistook you for the anomaly that killed your parents," Rose explained.

Yes, witches are very sensitive to anomalies.

When Luo Xi first encountered the monster that was a construction waste monster, she found this perception somewhat strange.

The monsters they encountered afterward, the abnormal entities that Rose mentioned, were instantly sensed by Luo Xi.

Luo Xi silently recalled the events of the past two days. This explanation seemed reasonable and without any loopholes.

"What are we supposed to do now?" Luo Xi asked, puzzled.

"Let's heal you first and resolve your witch transformation issue, then we'll go to the Witch Council." At this moment, Rose actually stretched out her hand, and a point of light appeared in Rose's fair hand. "The anomalous entity you just defeated, this is the anomalous core."

Monster inner core!

Her good fortune!

"I couldn't find it just now..." Luo Xi said, somewhat annoyed. "Could you give it to me?"

"To reiterate, only the abnormal can fight the abnormal, only witches can fight witches, and more fundamentally, it is a battle between the extraordinary and the extraordinary."

"Neither science and technology nor modern firepower can deal with this thing; only we witches can suppress it."

"So, as long as the abnormal entity is destroyed, its abnormal core will not disappear. If you look carefully, you can find it." As Rose spoke, she actually put the white light spot in her mouth, pretended to chew it a few times, and then kissed Luo Xi.

The abnormal core, or rather, the abnormal core accompanied by the magic of the rose, was put into the mouth.

Luo Xi had already given up after seeing that Qiangwei had eaten her demon beast's inner core.

But Luo Xi was stunned for a moment because she never expected Rose to do this to her.

Rose remained calm. "I used magic to suppress this abnormal core. Your injuries are too severe to suppress it directly."

Looking at Qiangwei's beautiful yet serene face, Luo Xi felt as if she were radiating light.

Damn it, why is my Dao Heart becoming somewhat unstable?

Luo Xi lowered her head quietly, forcibly suppressing the excitement in her heart.

Monster inner core!

Her opportunity at the third level of Qi Refining!

With her eyes closed, Luo Xi planned to refine the inner core and achieve the third level of Qi Refining (Witch Version)!

Because of her previous experience, Luo Xi quickly refined the inner core.

Although the magic did not have any new characteristics, Luo Xi could feel three cyclones in her dantian.

According to traditional cultivation novels, she is now at the third level of Qi Refining (Witch version)!

By merging three small cyclones into a medium-sized cyclone, one can enter the fourth level of the Qi Refining stage; this is the next step.

I don't know if this method of cultivation is correct.

After all, he had never successfully cultivated immortality in his previous life.

And there are also the genetic lock and consciousness lock that she can't forget.

We still don't have a solution for picking the lock.

The green plants were still wrapped around her, and Luo Xi felt that she had recovered, but Qiangwei still wouldn't let her down.

Unsure whether directly damaging the green plants would harm the roses, Luo Xi abandoned the idea of ​​destroying the green plants.

"How are Luo Xin and Bai Nuo?" Luo Xi asked, lying on a bed made of green plants.

"I'll take you to Luo Xin's place in a bit. As for Bai Nuo, she's been invaded by the consciousness of the Zero Witch," Rose replied. "I've suppressed the Zero Witch's consciousness within Bai Nuo, but there's still a possibility that it might revive."

Two consciousnesses?

That's... twin martial souls?!

Her first employee turned out to be a talent with twin martial souls; she'd struck gold.

"What are we going to the Witch Council for?" Rose wasn't a member of the Witch Council, and Luo Xi already had a conclusion in mind.

"I suspect that the Witch Council has remnants of information from the previous witch era," Rose said calmly. "After all, I am a scholar-type witch."
