Chapter One Hundred: So It Was You
In a purely martial fight, even if the opponent's boundary is above his own, Fang Tian Nan would not have such a completely hopeless thought. At least, Fang Tian Nan still has many trump cards on his body, such as the energy of Yang liquid and so on. However, in the confrontation of perception, even though Fang Tian Nan clearly realized that he would fail, there was no way to reverse his disadvantage. Even more so, Fang Tian Nan could only "watch" helplessly as his own perceptual range was being nibbled away bit by bit by the opponent.
Without any help, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't escape the oppressive feeling transmitted by his opponent. Fang Tian Nan's inner distress can be inferred from this.
Fang Tian Nan could even think that it's no wonder that the awakened martial artists with perception would be supported by their respective sects, and the awakened true men with spiritual awareness would become important figures in their respective schools. Even after becoming a sect master, just having the ability of divine consciousness is enough to look down on all the Tianyuan realm true men.
It's just that this ability is too freaky and has too many advantages.
Fang Tian Nan had previously used his perception to explore the You Ming Mountains, but after awakening his perception, this was merely the most ordinary way of using it.
Subconsciously, Fang Tiannan stared at the figure of the masked woman in front of him, dazed for a moment.
The person who can stop Wu You in her tracks is naturally someone Wu You has reservations about. Among the Qingyun Sect, all five practitioners who have awakened their perception, including Fang Tian Nan, are people he knows, so the identity of the woman in front of him wearing a black veil also came out.
It was Old Man Fang who had previously arranged for Fang Tian Nan to recently get in touch with another inner sect disciple of the Qing Yun Sect who had also awakened his perception!
。。。。。。
Looking at Fang Tian Nan's slightly surprised expression, the woman wearing a black veil also had a hint of astonishment. However, she quickly recovered her calm and collected demeanor. First, she glanced at Wu You beside Fang Tian Nan, nodded, and then turned to Fang Tian Nan, softly saying: "So it was you!"
"Did you two know each other before?" Fang Tian Nan's heart skipped a beat, while Wu You on the side asked curiously, "That shouldn't be."
"I'm also a bit curious..." Fang Tian Nan hurriedly spread his hands, indicating that he wasn't clear about it either. Even though Fang Tian Nan had seen the woman in front of him before, who was wearing a black veil, in the free trade market, and had a deep impression of her, what's more, Fang Tian Nan still clearly remembered that on the stall where she was at, the thing she wanted to trade was a fourth-grade Ice Cold Xuan Iron.
However, Fang Tiannan didn't think that others would leave any impression on such a fleeting "customer" like himself.
Apart from this, Fang Tian Nan also didn't know why the other party would recognize him. Perhaps it was because Fang Zhang Lao had already communicated with the other party before, and a disciple with awakened perception appeared among the outer sect disciples, which left an impression on the other party.
"I saw your fight during the assessment of your promotion to outer disciple." The woman with a veil covering her face explained briefly, but her expression remained calm and collected.
"It turns out that's the case." Not only Fang Tian Nan had some enlightenment, but also Wu You nodded and smiled, saying, "It seems that my little brother is indeed very promising, even Mu Shizi you think highly of him. Haha, now it's settled, those guys must be so envious..."
"Huh? Wu You shijie, what do you mean by that?" Fang Tian Nan asked in surprise.
"What does it mean?" Wu You looked at Fang Tian Nan with a rather pleased smile, saying, "Nothing much. Anyway, just you focus on working hard and becoming an inner disciple as soon as possible, then you'll know."
The two inner disciples who followed Wu You, however, seemed to have understood Wu's thoughts and secretly glanced at the masked woman before holding back what they wanted to say. As for Xiao Ruo, Di Jianming, and others, they were just as confused as Fang Tian Nan. However, when it came to the masked woman in front of them, Xiao Ruo and the others became somewhat respectful.
Just from Wu You's attitude, Xiao Ruo and others could see that the masked woman in front of them was absolutely higher than Wu You in the inner door disciples.
。。。。。。
Wu You suddenly saw Mu Shijie in front of him in the trading market, feeling a bit strange, and subconsciously stopped in his tracks. Now that they had exchanged greetings, Wu You was about to leave.
"I'll still be here tomorrow." Mu Si, the wooden nun with a black veil covering her face, said to herself after glancing at Wu You and the others, her eyes then shifting towards Fang Tian Nan.
"Oh, Mu Shi Jie, what do you want to exchange?" Wu You asked curiously, "I don't know, can I help with anything?"
"Mu Shijie wants to exchange something, isn't it written on the stall?..." Fang Tiannan said, nodding his mouth towards Wu You. However, in his heart, Fang Tiannan had already understood that Fang Zhanglao must have already communicated with the other party. Mu Shijie's muttering at this moment was actually a secret conversation with Fang Tiannan.
"Huh, it's actually a fourth-grade Ice Cold Xuan Iron?" Wu You looked at the sign on the stall and said with slight surprise, "Mu Shijie, haven't you repaired your Xuan equipment yet?"
"Uh-huh." Mu Shi Jie simply nodded lightly.
"Alas, what a pity..." Wu You sighed, "If I had seen it, I would have helped you pay attention to it, Master Sister. I still have things to attend to here, so I'll take my leave first." After nodding at the woman with the black veil again, Wu You urged Fang Tian Nan and the others to leave together.
。。。。。。
After walking out of the free trade market, Wu You suddenly patted his chest and let out a long sigh, saying: "Hiss---, I'm so tense I could die."
"Isn't that right? Is Mu Shijie really that formidable?" Fang Tian Nan asked casually, "Just letting you see her once is enough to make you so frightened and intimidated? This isn't your usual style, Wu You Shijie."
"Shut up, what do you know?" Wu You glared at Fang Tian Nan and said, "That's because you don't know the reputation of Mu Shizi. If you become an inner disciple one day, you'll be scared."
"Huh, is it really that scary?" Fang Tian Nan asked hastily, "But we outer sect disciples rarely hear about this Wooden Shifu. He glanced at Xiao Ruo and the others with his eyes as he spoke."
"Yes, Wu You Shijie, why don't you explain it to us?" Han Guangyue, who was standing beside him, also spoke up at this time, "I feel that the aura on Mu Shijie's body is quite familiar to me."
"That's because, Mu Shijie's innate attribute energy is also of the ice-cold attribute." Wu You looked at Han Guangyue and said, "Otherwise, you would think that she always has a demeanor that keeps people at arm's length."
"Oh!" Fang Tian Nan said, "Sister Wu You is a fire attribute energy talent, no wonder you'd be surprised to meet Sister Mu. And Sister Mu's strength should be above yours, right?"
"It's not like that." Wu You didn't explain, but a fellow inner disciple who was following closely behind him had already spoken up to argue, "If it were just a difference in strength and realm, we wouldn't be so cautious either. The main thing is... the main thing is..."
Looking at his hesitant expression, Fang Tian Nan suddenly thought that it wouldn't be because of Mu Shijie's awakening to her sensory powers, would it?
