If someone forcibly breaks a mental imprint, but their mental strength is not as good as the one who cast it, they will suffer a backlash. Fu Mu was very confident in his mental strength, which is why he chose to give it to Xu Yuehuai.
Dean Guo watched this scene from outside, feeling a sense of satisfaction. "This Fu Mu has done a lot of things in the academy, hasn't he? He doesn't respect the academy at all!"
Dean Guo doesn't usually pay much attention to the college's affairs; he was just speculating on the possibilities based on his own intuition. Judging from Fu Mu's actions and words, he seemed like a seasoned pro.
After Xu Yuehuai got the items, Fu Mu didn't intend to leave. Xu Yuehuai's gaze shifted from Fu Mu to the others. "You too, hand over all your valuables!"
Xu Yuehuai was like a bandit leader, robbing people.
Those people didn't dare to disobey. Fu Mu had already been given the money, so what courage did they have to refuse?
After putting their things on the ground, the group cautiously observed Xu Yuehuai's gaze. Seeing that Xu Yuehuai wasn't paying attention to them, they quietly slipped away.
The person who had been bullied by Fu Mu was lying on the ground, completely exhausted, but believing that Xu Yuehuai had saved him, he sat up and looked at Xu Yuehuai with gratitude in his eyes, "It was you!"
Xu Yuehuai also looked over, raising an eyebrow. "An old acquaintance, huh? Since we're acquaintances, I'll give you a discount. Leave your flag here, and you can go."
The person being bullied was Shi Xing. After he came in, he was separated from Shi Yue. One of them was good at ranged attacks, and the other was good at offensive attacks. After they were separated, Shi Xing, who was good at ranged attacks, became passive.
Shi Xing reluctantly took out a flag from his spatial storage and handed it to Xu Yuehuai, saying, "What bad luck! I ran into you, you big devil, right from the start!"
Xu Yuehuai was counting the flags in her hand when she heard his words. She turned to look at Shi Xing and said with a smile, "You still think you're unlucky? If I hadn't passed by here, you would be dead."
Xu Yuehuai initially looked at the person being bullied from behind and couldn't see that it was actually Shi Xing.
Shi Xing thought about it again and realized that it made sense, but he still felt inexplicably sad.
"Forget it, if I don't think about it, I won't feel bad," Shi Xing comforted himself. After saying goodbye to Xu Yuehuai, he left, "I hope I won't run into you again in this match."
Xu Yuehuai didn't speak, but just chuckled softly.
With five flags in hand, Xu Yuehuai's ranking jumped up to first place, with a total of seventy-eight flags.
This guy with the most flags looks like he's stolen quite a few; the other followers don't have nearly as many.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, a handsome young man sat on a tree branch, eyes closed, legs swinging, looking quite content.
She felt the token hanging at her waist get hot, a signal that the first place contestant had changed. The boy opened his eyes. He hadn't expected that someone would surpass him after he had found sixty-two flags in a quarter of an hour. This record was no easy feat.
The boy chuckled softly when he saw the name, "This person seems quite familiar."
Another white-haired man standing nearby, seeing him smile, asked curiously, "What's wrong? What did you see that makes you smile so happily?"
The boy said lazily, "It's nothing, I just saw someone take first place from me."
The white-haired man, handsome in appearance, laughed upon hearing this and curiously took out the token to examine it. "Who actually has the ability to break your record?"
Upon seeing Xu Yuehuai's name, the white-haired man seemed to understand perfectly, "Our junior sister Xu is no ordinary person."
The two people sitting in the tree were Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen, both of whom were ghost cultivators.
Fu Zi can also control a group of ghosts to do things for him, as long as he has enough spiritual power to support them to come to the outside world.
Fu Ziyi used this ability to find a lot of flags in a short period of time.
"What do you think about us going to meet this junior sister?" A hint of interest flashed in Fu Ziyi's eyes.
Baili Xiuwen glanced at his ranking, which was still within the top 150. "Alright, let's go then."
Fu Ziyi first manipulated the ghost to help determine Xu Yuehuai's location, and then led Baili Xiuwen there.
As Xu Yuehuai walked, she came to a seaside. There were quite a few people around, at least twenty or thirty, all looking out at the sea.
Xu Yuehuai silently observed and eavesdropped on their true purpose for being there.
"I've clearly observed this area; there must be something wrong with this sea! But why have I waited so long and still found nothing!" A woman held a compass in her hand, constantly checking and recalculating.
Yan Zhi looked at the compass in her hand. She had never made a mistake before. Unwilling to believe it, she tried again, but the result was the same. However, the next second, her compass suddenly malfunctioned.
The person waiting nearby was getting a little impatient. "Is this for real or not? I've been waiting here for ages and haven't even seen a flag, let alone one!"
The man couldn't help but vent his emotions.
Yan was speechless. "If you're not willing to wait, then get out of here!"
Yan Zhi had no intention of swallowing her anger. The man who spoke sneered, "Fine, I'll leave then. I don't care. Gentlemen, I've been waiting here for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The competition only lasts for one hour. Are you sure you want to continue wasting your time here waiting for an uncertain possibility?"
That person not only left, but also tried to undermine Yan Zhi's standing in other people's eyes.
Yan Zhi is a member of the Guo family and one of their elites. Her predictions are very accurate and she is almost never wrong. Moreover, she is a physical cultivator. As someone who can both support and attack, the Guo family naturally wanted her to participate in this competition.
Sure enough, after that person said those provocative words, many people began to waver.
They had indeed been there for a long time, but hadn't seen anything, which was quite disappointing.
Gradually, the first person began to waver and want to follow that person.
Xu Yuehuai had only been there a short while when almost everyone on the beach had left, leaving only a few scattered people.
Xu Yuehuai had no intention of leaving. She had enough flags now, and she could reliably finish in the top 150 without even participating in the second half of the competition.
Xu Yuehuai wondered how Quan Cang and Ji Yuanchi were doing, as he hadn't seen them on his way here.
After Yan Zhi saw that the compass was malfunctioning, he began to draw talismans in the air with his bare hands. Xu Yuehuai had never seen such talismans before.
Yan Zhi cast the pattern onto the sea surface, but it remained calm and still, and nothing happened.
But Yan Zhi's eyes lit up, "They're here! They're coming soon! Everyone, prepare for battle!"
