129: Chapter 129 Mental Detection!!

He knew this meal had likely cost Wen Ning a lot of money.

For her, with her tight resources, this gesture was especially precious.

After finishing the meal, Qin Yan wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

He cut straight to the point: "Wen Ning, let's skip the pleasantries."

"What exactly is the 'secret method' you mentioned yesterday that can help me deal with Wang Guang and his stronghold?"

Seeing this, Wen Ning also pulled back her slight smile, and her expression turned serious.

She didn't answer directly, but first asked a key question: "Qin Yan, before we act, I need to know for sure."

"If we set aside the interference of other members and let you face the leader, Wang Guang, alone."

"How much certainty do you have in defeating him, or even... killing him?"

This question was crucial, as it was at the core of her subsequent plan.

It also concerned whether it was truly possible for the two of them to cooperate and complete this high-risk mission.

Qin Yan didn't answer immediately.

He pondered for a moment, carefully comparing his strength against Wang Guang's in his mind.

Wang Guang, mid-stage second grade, has tempered about 2 upper bones and practices an Exquisite level Body Tempering Martial Art.

As for himself, also mid-stage second grade, although his number of tempered bones was slightly fewer,

Because of his foundation from the first grade limit, his basic blood qi might not be inferior to the opponent's.

More importantly, his Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear was a top-tier Body Tempering Martial Art, and its finishing moves were more powerful.

Plus, with his Spear Technique mastery at 97% and the enhancement of five spear forces,

In terms of absolute power, skill, and explosiveness, he believed he held the advantage!

"If no one else interferes and I fight Wang Guang fairly, I am 100% certain I can defeat him!"

"And, I have at least an 80% certainty of killing him on the spot!"

Qin Yan spoke firmly.

Wen Ning stared intently into Qin Yan's eyes.

After a while, she seemed to have made a decision.

Taking a deep breath, she said: "Alright! Qin Yan, I believe you!"

"Now, come with me."

After paying the bill, the two walked one after the other through several streets.

The further they went, the more secluded it became, and the surrounding buildings gradually became shorter and older.

Finally, they arrived at an industrial factory area that had been abandoned for many years.

A rusty iron gate lay crookedly to the side, and the factory area was overgrown with weeds.

"Qin Yan," Wen Ning stopped at a relatively open entrance and turned to look at him, "Didn't you want to know what my secret method is? Now, I'll demonstrate it for you."

She pointed to the abandoned factory area in front of them and said: "Now, enter this area alone, find any place to hide, and try to suppress your aura as much as possible."

"In three minutes, I'll go in to find you."

Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Qin Yan's eyes.

Was this... playing hide and seek?

Or some kind of test?

Although he didn't quite understand Wen Ning's intention,

Since they were already here, he might as well see what she was up to.

He nodded without asking further.

With a movement of his body, he disappeared from Wen Ning's sight in a few leaps.

He deliberately chose a tricky corner, using shadows and obstacles to perfectly hide his aura and figure.

Three minutes slowly passed in the silence.

At the factory entrance, Wen Ning took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

She wasn't resting; instead, she concentrated all her mind and attention.

The next moment, an invisible and intangible, yet real and strange fluctuation,

Spread out from her in all directions like ripples on water!

This fluctuation penetrated the rusted iron sheets,

Passed over the overgrown weeds, and washed over the mountains of trash...

In an instant, a strange, three-dimensional "image" appeared clearly in her mind!

The outline and structure of the entire abandoned factory, including the shapes and positions of those obstacles,

Were scanned and outlined in detail by this invisible "radar"!

And in a corner of this "map",

A "red light dot," which emitted a heat significantly greater than the surrounding environment and represented life blood qi, was quietly lurking.

Wen Ning's tightly closed eyes snapped open, a hint of fatigue flashing in them, but more so, a sense of clarity and the joy of success.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly into a confident smile as she began walking into the factory area.

Her steps did not hesitate, and her direction was clear.

She walked straight through the complex ruins, bypassing obstacles one by one as if she knew the place inside out.

Finally, she stopped in front of a huge abandoned machine tool.

Across the pile of parts, she spoke softly toward the shadow in the corner, her tone carrying a hint of slight pride:

"Qin Yan, found you! You're in the corner behind this machine tool, right?"

Qin Yan didn't speak, thinking Wen Ning was bluffing him.

However, just as this thought flashed by,

An extremely faint but clear sound of footsteps approached from a distance, steadily coming toward his hiding spot.

Then, the abandoned iron barrel blocking his view was gently pushed aside by a fair hand.

Wen Ning's pretty face appeared in Qin Yan's stunned gaze.

"How... how did you do it?"

Qin Yan stood up from his hiding place, his face unable to hide his astonishment.

Three minutes had just passed, yet Wen Ning seemed to have predicted he would be hiding here.

With a mysterious smile on her face, Wen Ning whispered: "This is my secret ability!"

"I can take objects and scenes within a certain range"

"And 'project' them into my mind in a three-dimensional, map-like form."

"The distribution and structure of obstacles within range, and even..."

"Living beings with strong blood qi fluctuations, I can roughly 'observe' them."

Hearing this, Qin Yan was stunned, and knowledge from his martial arts theory class quickly flashed through his mind.

He blurted out: "Is this Spirit Detection? That's impossible, right?!"

According to the martial arts common knowledge he had learned,

Only when spirit power exceeds 10 Hz can one initially achieve a weak outward release to sense surrounding auras;

And to achieve this kind of clear, wide-range "Spirit Detection,"

The standard is even more demanding; it's generally believed that spirit power must reach over 20 Hz!

"It shouldn't be Spirit Detection in the traditional sense."

Wen Ning shook her head, her brow furrowed slightly as if she were also somewhat confused.

"I've looked into it; detection formed by the true outward release of spirit power has a wider range and lasts longer."

"As for mine... the range can only cover an area about the size of this factory building."

"And if I use it continuously, the mental burden on me is enormous."

I can't maintain it for long before I get a splitting headache and can't keep it up."

"As for the specific principle, I'm not quite sure either."

She couldn't explain the source or nature of this ability herself, but that didn't stop her from recognizing its immense practical value.
