"Wait a moment, let me sort this out first!"
Zhou You could not understand it no matter how he thought about it. He had always been clean and upright, walking straight and sitting tall—so how had he ended up entangled with a demon weapon?
The heart ring had condensed from the Outer Profound Heart Secret Art, this secret technique... and the origin of that technique...
Zhou You remembered. After Two Hearts Fist had been wiped out, Zuo Shi'er had brought his sect's inheritance to find him, and Zhou You had picked up a bargain. That "great bargain" had been a bronze arm ring containing the Outer Profound Heart Secret Art.
An arm ring? The Heart Demon Ring!
At that thought, Zhou You gave himself another hard slap. That was it. He had found the source.
The weapon possessed by the Heart Demon Ring was that arm ring. Although he had used the System Panel to purify the cultivation art, the Heart Demon Ring's Demon Weapon Spirit had lurked in the lines of the art in an undetectable form.

Only an idiot would fall into demonic cultivation, right?
