Li Nian didn't know why she cared so much about this matter.

"Hmm? Ah, maybe it's the feeling of burning the power flowing in your blood vessels and making your body feel light?"

After hearing this, Jianshan's face became serious and he asked another question hurriedly.

"So, you're not actually an exorcist, you don't know anything, and you're just using the methods you figured out to use the cursed energy in your body?"

Li Nian didn't understand some of the nouns.

"What is Curse Power...?"

"——You really don't understand anything."

His confused reaction made Jianshan confirm something. He widened his eyes in shock, took a breath of cold air, and suddenly walked over quickly and reached out to grab Li Nian's shoulder.

"Stand still."

Li Nian was slightly startled, not knowing what was going on, but he didn't sense any malice, so he decided to listen to her for the time being. He didn't dodge and let Jianshan grab his shoulders.

But the next moment, a force invaded from that position.

"—!"

Li Nian instinctively felt disgusted and subconsciously stirred the spiritual power flowing in his body, and immediately pushed that force back.

Isayama's hand seemed to be bounced away with great force, and he stumbled back a few steps, his face full of surprise.

"What a powerful cursed power..."

Li Nian thought quickly, and the knowledge emerged in her mind. She understood what Isayama wanted to do just now - she wanted to spy on the situation inside her body!

This made him alert.

"What do you want to do?"

"You are! Stay still, I want to see inside you!"

Isayama spoke confidently and stretched out his hand again, but this time Li Nian dodged.

"Then there's no need for that."

"What are you talking about? You've been using such a huge amount of cursed energy recklessly. You don't even know how much strain it has put on your body! You may have a serious problem. Depending on the situation, you may need to see a doctor immediately!"

Li Nian suddenly realized what Isayama was talking about. He understood that cursed power was probably the name for spiritual power in the industry, and that Isayama treated him as someone who knew nothing and was using this power recklessly.

Indeed, if an outsider who only half-understands how to use spiritual power messes around in the body, it would not be surprising if hidden dangers were caused. Isayama was worried about this, so he was eager to check Li Nian's body.

Li Nian thought about it and decided to let the misunderstanding continue.

"I see. My intuition isn't very good either. I don't usually use it."

"You're lying! You're very skilled at driving it, you must have used it many times!"

Li Nian smacked his lips in amazement. He didn't expect that the girl could actually see through it.

Isayama persisted and spoke seriously.

"You know I'm an exorcist, so leave it to a professional to check. I need to see the detailed condition of your body."

"That's not necessary. I know what you want to do. It's just internal observation. I can do it too. I know there's nothing wrong with my body."

When Li Nian said that he could also do inner vision, Jianshan was stunned for a moment and his expression became hesitant.

"But……"

"It's very uncomfortable to have something invade my body. Is this something that can be done without asking for my consent?"

"...Then you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Jianshan calmed down, but was still a little angry, and commented on Li Nian.

"I know. I won't use it carelessly anymore."

"Really... you are a half-baked person, but you can still control such a terrifying cursed power. It's a miracle that you can live to this day in good health." Isayama sighed, thinking about everything that happened here, and then looked at Li Nian with his eyes slightly narrowed: "But... you can control the cursed power? You can also use internal vision. Are you really an amateur?"

Seeing that the situation was about to be resolved, Li Nian's mind raced and he suddenly said.

"I just recently awakened to the power of seeing ghosts."

"……what?"

"I was a victim of the spiritual disaster in Kyoto." Li Nian paused and said, "You may not recognize me, but this should be considered the third time we have met."

Chapter 33 Gap

The victims of the spiritual disaster in Kyoto... We meet for the third time.

Once these key words were connected together, Isayama understood.

It is true that she had rushed to the scene after the spiritual disaster in Kyoto half a month ago, assisted in the investigation of the incident and repaired the disordered spiritual veins, and asked the victims some relevant questions - was it because her face was remembered during that meeting?

She looked at Li Nian again, trying desperately to recall her memory of meeting this person in the past, but she couldn't remember it.

Jianshan had no idea that Li Nian had changed so much that she could not even associate him with the gloomy boy who seemed to have lost his soul and was in a daze, who had left a deep impression on her.

She couldn't remember, so she just thought it was because she had met too many people and didn't remember the other person's appearance. She still believed Li Nian's words and nodded thoughtfully.

"I see. Because you have seen me before, you know my identity as an exorcist?"

"That's it." Li Nian thought for a moment, added some settings in his mind, and then continued: "I was affected by the spiritual disaster and awakened my talent for seeing ghosts. Now I have the idea of ​​becoming an exorcist, but I really can't find any information about it. So yesterday I saw you by chance, and after remembering that you were the exorcist I met before, I felt that I had finally found my savior, and I couldn't wait to ask about it - this is what happened."

Li Nian added the setting that "he awakened the talent to see ghosts in the spiritual disaster", and told the story in a serious manner, and planned to use the same reason when Isayama could trace the huge changes between his previous incarnation and his current self.

He planned to attribute all the changes that happened to this body to the spiritual disaster, knowing that only in this way could it all become "possible" and logically tenable.

This lie is quite credible. Once the "spirit" is involved, everything becomes possible. As for the body being affected and awakening the "ability to see ghosts", such cases are actually very common. Of course, there are not many people like Li Nian who seem to have no sequelae at all. In the eyes of professionals, there may be many small doubts, but as long as Li Nian himself is determined not to let go, no one will touch the truth he has hidden.

In short, although Li Nian's words were half true and half false, the cause and effect were clearly explained. Jianshan was silent for a while to digest this information, and then asked as if to confirm.

"Did you awaken [Seeing Ghosts] because of the spiritual disaster?"

Li Nian nodded without hesitation.

Jianshan asked again.

"And you came to me because you wanted to become an exorcist?"

"Yes."

"This is really... a bit abrupt..."

Jianshan held her forehead and seemed to have a headache. After a while, she seemed to decide to respond to Li Nian. She straightened her expression and continued.

"As for your idea of ​​becoming an exorcist, I have only one suggestion for you."

Li Nian's eyes lit up.

"what?"

"give up."

"..."

What Li Nian heard was beyond her expectations.

Isayama looked seriously at the dazed Li Nian.

"This is not a job that a layman can do just because he wants to. You need at least ten years of hard training. It's more practical to study hard. So I won't tell you. Give up the idea."

After she finished speaking, she thought she had made things clear, so she turned and left. She didn't want to dwell on meaningless topics with this boy anymore. She wanted to do as she said and decisively cut off Li Nian's thoughts.

Li Nian stayed where he was, chewing over her words.

"Ten years of training, huh... I see, maybe that's the case."

Li Nian understood what Isayama was referring to. Exorcist... As the name suggests, this is a profession that can only be undertaken by people who have achieved something in the world of "spirits". This kind of ability is not something that can be possessed by anyone who is born with the talent of seeing ghosts. Even if one has the talent of seeing ghosts - that is, the ability to feel "spirits", it only meets the most basic requirements. Then everything from the basics to the advanced level needs to be learned and practiced step by step. This is cultivation.

In this field, everyone starts from scratch, and without long-term practice, it is difficult to even get started.

Li Nian suddenly understood why exorcists were so famous in society, but the entire group gave people a very secretive impression - that might be because fundamentally, they were extremely rare.

It's no wonder that Isayama didn't want to discuss this topic with him. Who would expect a stranger to start from scratch and persist in long-term arduous training to reach the basic qualities of becoming an exorcist?

"But I'm different because I'm... a genius."

Jianshan paused, not because she heard Li Nian's mumbling, but because two ice cones rising from the ground crossed in front of her, blocking her way.

"So I don't think I need to practice for ten years." Li Nian's voice came from behind her.

Jianshan stared blankly at the ice crystals blocking her way, stretched out her fingers and tapped twice, feeling the hard and cold touch on her fingertips and the chill in the air, she realized that this was a "ritual" that took effect instantly.

She turned around and saw Li Nian slowly lowering his outstretched right hand. He knew that whatever he said now would be empty talk, so he took direct action to demonstrate his ability.

Isayama narrowed his eyes slightly and patted the solid ice cone.

"Did you figure this out on your own?"

"Correct."

"..."

Isayama was silent for a while, then reached for the wooden sword in his left hand again.

"Okay, let me give it a try."

As soon as she finished speaking, she burned the cursed energy in her body.

Li Nian just felt something when Jianshan took a step forward and appeared in front of him, slashing out with a knife and sweeping across!

So fast? !

Li Nian glanced hastily and saw that the wooden sword was surrounded by flames and burning fiercely. It seemed that some kind of magic was cast on it when it passed through his hands!

This time, Isayama obviously wasn't pretending anymore, he was serious!

Li Nian didn't expect Jianshan to draw his sword and chop without saying a word. Subconsciously, he only had time to condense an ice crystal in his hand and use it to attack.

The moment it made contact, the ice crystal was cut off with a snap, without providing any defensive effect. The wooden sword, blazing with flames, fell towards his neck, but stopped steadily at the critical moment. The flames on it also suddenly disappeared when it was about to touch Li Nian's skin.

Li Nian helplessly threw away the broken ice crystal in his hand and raised his hands in surrender.

"I lost."

Isayama lowered his head and looked at the ice crystals on the ground, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He muttered, "Sure enough, it was made in an instant..."

"what?"

"You're right, you do have the qualifications... What class are you in?"

"…2nd year group f."

"You go back first. I need to think about your decision to become an exorcist for a while. I'll come back to you this afternoon and give you an answer."

After saying that, Isayama swung his sword, and the wind from the sword swept past, shattering the icicles on the ground and over there.

"Remember to clean up!"

After saying this, Isayama turned around and hurried away at a trot.

Li Nian looked at her back blankly.

Have I passed this test?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Anyway, judging from what Isayama-senpai said, this matter has a chance...

After making this judgment, Li Nian did not feel much joy in his heart.

He reached out and touched his neck, where a patch of skin was burning with pain - it was clear that Jianshan had no intention of using heavy force from the beginning, but even though she put away the knife in time, ended the technique, and stopped attacking, Li Nian was still inevitably cut by the hot wind from the knife and suffered minor injuries.

Li Nian didn't care about the pain; what he cared about was that he was defeated cleanly and quickly.

This is the first time.

Isayama's level was obviously two... more than two hundred levels lower than the few thugs he had met before. At that moment, he felt unprecedented pressure.

He imagined that if they fought with real swords and real knives, and Isayama didn't stop, as soon as they met, the wooden sword would fall and he would be beheaded too.

It is obvious that Isayama has not yet used his full strength, and what he showed is only the tip of the iceberg of his strength, which reflects the huge gap between him and himself.
