Convincing People by Reasoning

At the suggestion of Raven 12345, Hao Ren took out the large black book from his dimensional pocket and placed it solemnly on the tea table.

He had actually 'read' it once, or, strictly speaking, he had opened it once.

Hao Ren knew the value of this book from the day he got it. He knew that the Bible, which had a chain and eight rams, contained powerful power, and that if he could master even one percent of its power, he could improve his chances considerably when dealing with the Mad Lord in the future. So the night he took it home, he opened the book and read it once. It was absolutely a painful memory. The power contained in the text of the book was more than he could have borne.
