Chapter 40 Rumors Spread Like Wildfire

  At this time, the silver moonlight poured down from the night sky and landed on Zhao Rui's body. The abundant spiritual energy contained in the moonlight came from all directions, penetrating the skin, muscles, and deep into the meridians.

  The vital energy inside and outside the body converges in the meridians, producing a powerful resonance.

  Zhao Rui, under this resonance, had a mind without distractions, pure as ice, and only felt that his whole body was floating lightly, as if the entire person had floated up, drifting all the way to the deepest part of the universe.

  A faint noise came over, as if from outside the sky, Zhao Rui's eyes suddenly opened wide, woke up, and the whole person was like being pulled back to the ground in an instant.

  In the distance, a pair of student lovers were whispering sweet nothings to each other as they walked towards this abandoned small building, probably because they couldn't help themselves and thought of a secluded place where no one was around to be intimate.

  Although Zhao Rui was quite far away from them, he could hear their conversation extremely clearly.

  His hearing had improved and his inner true energy had also increased. Zhao Rui lightly exhaled a breath of air, evaluating.

  After each practice session, he would carefully evaluate his progress.

  He thought that with the help of Wannian Xiansen, plus his own diligent practice, after a period of time, he would probably be able to enter the later stage of Soul Snatching.

  By then, his strength will have reached another level, and he can even use his physical body to resist bullets.

  Seeing the couple walking towards this side, Zhao Rui didn't want to attract their attention, so he tiptoed out of the small building and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

  "Huh? Didn't something black just pass by in front of us?" The girl seemed to have seen something, stopped in her tracks, and pointed ahead asking.

  The boy stretched his neck and looked forward for a long time, but except for the dark night and the buildings that were silent in the darkness, he didn't see anything.

  "Really? Didn't you see it wrong?" He asked strangely.

  "No... I won't, I absolutely saw something come out of the small building and flash by quickly, it looked like... like a human figure!" The girl's face suddenly turned pale, her voice also trembling, "Could it be a ghost?"

  "A ghost?" The boy looked at her skeptically. "Impossible, where would a ghost come from? Have you been watching too many horror movies?"

  "But humans absolutely can't have such agile movements, can't have such fast speed!" The girl said very affirmatively, "I'm absolutely sure I didn't see it wrong. Let's hurry up and leave this place, it's so gloomy here, making one's hair stand on end."

  The man originally didn't quite believe it, but his girlfriend's confident words made him feel a bit uneasy in his heart. Even the refreshing evening breeze felt like a chilly gust, and his back suddenly turned cold.

  Of course, I'm afraid in my heart, but on the surface, I still have to keep calm, after all, my girlfriend is by my side, and if I show too much fear, it would be embarrassing.

  "If you don't like it here, we can go somewhere else." My heart racing, I calmly said a sentence, hugged my girlfriend and quickly ran away.

  Before long, rumors of a ghost in the northwest corner of the school spread throughout the campus, becoming more and more exaggerated, mysterious, and terrifying with each retelling, eventually evolving into over ten completely different versions.

  As for those storytellers, although they all came from hearsay, each and every one of them seemed to have experienced it personally. They told the story with vivid descriptions, occasionally adding oil and vinegar to make the story more tortuous, making the characters' images more rich and full, and also allowing countless listeners to gain great stimulation in extreme shock.

  Sun Xiaolan was frightened after listening to the Nth version of a ghost story told by her dormitory classmates at night, and she suddenly felt that the originally hot summer night had become somewhat chilly.

  She shrank into the corner of the bed, picked up her phone and dialed Zhao Rui's number: "Little Rui, you have to be careful these days, something doesn't seem right at school, especially around the northwest corner. Whatever you do, don't go near there at night!"

  "Why?" Zhao Rui had not yet heard such rumors, so he was still in the dark and completely unaware.

  "It's said that the place was a burial ground decades ago, with many people buried there! Especially in the past two days, someone even saw a very frightening black shadow there with their own eyes! Anyway, you shouldn't go there at night, and it's best not to go during the day either!"

  "Tomb? Dark shadow?"

  Zhao Rui Xian was stunned, then immediately understood that he had finished his cultivation that night and when he left, he accidentally caught the attention of the couple, who mistook him for a ghost!

  He couldn't help but feel a little cry and laugh, never thought that his unintentional exposure would cause such a big stir on campus!

  But things like this can never be said out loud, they can only be left as is and let the rumors continue to spread.

  "Got it, I'll be careful, Little Orchid sister, it's getting late, you should go to sleep."

  "It's really true, I kindly reminded you, but didn't even get a thank you." Sun Xiaolan hung up the phone with complaints.

  Zhao Rui smiled and shook his head, putting away his phone as he was about to sleep. Suddenly, Luo Cheng, who had been lying quietly across from him, sat up and said: "I heard someone say today that there's a ghost in the northwest corner of our campus! Someone saw it with their own eyes, it's really scary and thrilling, do you want me to tell you about it?"

  "I want!"

  Zhou Wei and Han Xing shouted in unison.

  Zhao Rui let out a snort and covered his head with a pillow.

  At the same time, Yunfei also heard this rumor from a girl in the same dormitory.

  However, as a member of the Guwu family, she didn't think that so-called terrifying dark shadow was some kind of monster or demon, because she knew that with the Yun family guarding Dong'an, such low-level monsters and demons would find it hard to survive in Dong'an.

  Yunfei thinks that the so-called terrifying dark shadows and ghost legends are probably just someone who saw flowers at night, so they suspiciously fabricated a story.

  Of course, there is also another possibility that in the school, there is a mysterious ancient martial artist hiding because an ancient martial artist can completely display that kind of ghostly speed!

  That speed is enough to cause many people to have misunderstandings in the dark of night.

  However, this possibility is very small, Yunfei thinks it can be basically ruled out.

  Yun Fei lay on the bed, thinking wildly, and suddenly thought of the scene where Luo Cheng and Liu Wei had a solo fight at the Free Fighting Club some time ago. He also thought of how Luo Cheng was retaliated against by Liu Wei and beaten up by Li Li Yong, sending him to the hospital, after which Li Li Yong's boxing gym was suddenly shut down.

  These things seemed like a coincidence at the time, and after investigation, the police also came to this conclusion.

  However, now that several things are strung together, it seems as if there is an invisible connection hidden inside!

  Could it be... that a martial artist is really hiding in school? And also has some kind of connection with that fat guy Luo Cheng?

  Yunfei suddenly became interested at this point, if it was really as she guessed, then digging out the ancient warrior hidden in Dongling University would be a very interesting game!

  It's possible that they might even recruit a martial artist from the Yun family, killing two birds with one stone.

  "It seems... I need to find an opportunity to get in touch with that fatty and the others in the dormitory." Yunfei muttered to herself, "However, Zhao Rui seems to be in the same dormitory as Luo Cheng, humph, that stinky brat, just seeing him makes me angry."

  As she thought and thought, her eyelids grew heavy, and she gradually fell asleep.

  From start to finish, Yunfei never thought of using her family's power because she felt that it was more interesting for a person to slowly explore and unravel the mystery layer by layer.
