The Ring Is Incomplete

Lin Fan jolted awake in his rental apartment. This Time Ring Ritual had not only granted him quite a bit of time power and let him test the Time Clone, but more importantly, it had given him information about the second candle.

"There's also that person on the rooftop." Lin Fan recalled the person who had jumped down from the roof at the end. The other party wore a black cloak and an eerie black mask, making it impossible to tell who they were.
