He initially didn't believe it, as the child didn't resemble Xu Yuehuai at all. However, the child revealed many things he didn't know, which led Fu Ziyi to believe it. He waited by the side until Xu Yuehuai woke up and was alright before leaving.
He didn't know what he was thinking. He hadn't told anyone about it. It was the first time he had liked someone so much, and it ended like this. How could anyone not feel heartbroken?
He had been avoiding Xu Yuehuai to stop thinking about her, but now, after so many days apart, seeing her again still stirred his heart. He wanted to know what his heart truly felt, so he kept looking at Xu Yuehuai, wanting to test it.
Fu Ziyi is also a madman. He doesn't have many normal traits. When he learned that Xu Yuehuai was married and had a child, he subconsciously left. This is a normal trait of his, and it is also one of the few times when he is normal when he encounters such a situation.
Baili Xiuwen has known him since he entered the academy. Over the years, he has gotten used to his character. He is taciturn and is often bullied, but he has a strange guy named Fu Ziyi by his side. Everyone isolates the two of them, and the two naturally become good friends and partners in this environment. They also become Dean Zhong's disciples together.
The competition had been going on for a long time, and Fu Ziyi had no intention of taking the stage. Most people had used up their three chances, and even the person next to him had used up his chances, still stuck as an outer disciple. That person was in a bad mood, and when he saw Fu Ziyi, he felt even more annoyed. "What's the use of just watching from here? Do you think you can win or improve by watching for half a day? I think you're just a coward, too afraid to go up, and you're just thinking about nonsense here."
The man was speaking loudly enough that everyone around him heard him, but no one paid any attention. Such things were commonplace. Fu Ziyi stood up, and everyone thought he was angry and ready to fight him.
Fu Ziyi walked down from the stage and headed towards the arena. The elder in charge was somewhat disappointed today, as he did not see Fu Ziyi and the others come up to challenge. However, he also felt that they had some self-awareness and knew that they could not win, so they did not come up to participate.
As the elder deacon was dozing off, Fu Ziyi jumped onto the stage, his robes fluttering. Everyone looked at him in surprise. The elder deacon asked, "Who do you want to challenge?"
“Him.” Fu Ziyi pointed to the person who had been calling incessantly in his ear. For a moment, the elder in charge was in a dilemma. “He is an outer disciple, and you are also an outer disciple… This… is useless.”
"The rules don't say that outer disciples can't challenge other outer disciples." That's true. The elder in charge was unsure what to do and looked at Zi Sangyi sitting on the high platform.
Zi Sangyi nodded slightly. Indeed, this point was not mentioned in the rules. After all, this situation had not occurred in previous years. Everyone wanted to climb up the ranks, so who would be foolish enough to challenge someone of the same level as themselves?
The man walked down with an unfriendly expression. When he looked at Fu Ziyi, his gaze was somewhat strange, but Fu Ziyi pretended not to notice.
"Junior brother, you'd better be prepared, or I might knock you down in one go." The man's words were utterly disrespectful to his opponent, full of provocation.
Fu Ziyi's expression didn't change at all.
In the blink of an eye, the man quickly stepped forward, intending to knock Fu Ziyi off the stage, but unexpectedly several transparent objects suddenly appeared in front of him. He teleported directly to them, and they ended up attaching themselves to one of the objects.
The man stared intently, then suddenly fell to the ground in fright, his face filled with terror. "A ghost...a ghost!"
The people in the stands started discussing among themselves. In the half month they had been here, apart from Xu Yuehuai showing off his skills when he was acting as the sect leader, no one else had demonstrated their strength. In particular, the other two people who were recruited into the sect at the same time as Xu Yuehuai had never shown their strength.
"Those things on the stage, were they summoned by this young man? I didn't expect him to be so powerful!"
"With such abilities and talent, it's no wonder the sect leader brought him back in the first place. This is extremely rare even on the second floor. I've never seen anyone who can summon ghosts before. This is simply unbelievable."
Everyone below was talking about it. Fu Ziyi stood on the stage, receiving strange looks from everyone. He was used to being seen as an oddball. When everyone found out about his ability, they wanted to stay far away from him. After he discovered it, he also stopped actively contacting those people.
To shut oneself off and isolate oneself.
Fu Ziyi manipulated the ghosts, launching attack after attack on his opponent. The moves displayed by the ghosts were all moves that others had used on the stage earlier.
Others may not have noticed this, but everyone sitting on the platform noticed it.
Nangong Yu had met this boy before, so when he discovered how powerful this person was, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.
Yu Ze wasn't too surprised. He had fought with Fu Ziyi before and knew just how strong the boy was, but he hadn't expected Fu Ziyi to grow up so quickly.
In a short while, Fu Ziyi actually managed to defeat the young man, and even showed signs of suppressing him. Everyone exclaimed in surprise and marveled at Fu Ziyi's strength.
Xu Yuehuai chuckled. She knew that Ji Yuanchi and the others were about to make their move. Sure enough, after Fu Ziyi defeated the gossip, Baili Xiuwen stepped onto the stage again.
However, he challenged an inner disciple, and the person he chose was quite meaningful. It seemed like he picked someone randomly, but in reality, Baili Xiuwen chose someone whose movements and attacks were very heavy and clumsy as his opponent.
His ability is spatial teleportation, which makes it impossible for clumsy opponents to even touch the hem of their clothes.
As Baili Xiuwen had predicted, the opponent he chose to fight was indeed the inner disciple, who was stronger than him. However, even under these circumstances, Baili Xiuwen was not injured at all and successfully won the match.
"Damn, what kind of monsters are these? One can summon ghosts, and another can teleport. This... the sect leader's vision is truly unique. There's a reason why he locked on them in advance."
"It's terrifying. At first, I thought these people were nothing to fear, but now I just hope that the remaining few either don't become so monstrous or don't choose me as their opponent."
After Baili Xiuwen left the arena, Fu Ziyi came up again, this time challenging the same person who had been gossiping. The other person roared, "I won't agree!"
