Ninth In the World

“Don’t you recognize me?” Shen Ziyu looked at Di Jiu in disbelief. She simply could not believe that he did not recognize her. Why was he using such a tone with her?

This woman was indeed Shen Ziyu. Di Jiu immediately reacted. “Any relationship that we had is in the past. Ever since our divorce, we are no longer related. Why should I recognize you?”

Di Jiu was already feeling uncomfortable over the fact that someone had barged into his home. Even though he did not really have a good impression of her, she was still his ex-wife. The way Di Jiu saw it, Shen Ziyu must have been the one to dump him and ask for a divorce, so she had to be the reason they were strangers now.

Shen Ziyu looked at Di Jiu calmly and told him without raising her voice, “That’s true. You dumped me, so you can choose not to recognize me now. I’m the one always chasing after you. The Fairy Planet is about to open to the public, and the easiest way to get in is by being a student of a recognized Institute of Martial Arts. North Luo University has such an institute now. This is an entry token you can use to register if you want to learn martial arts there.”

As soon as she was done speaking, Shen Ziyu placed a blue-colored copper plate on the table and left. She had so much more to say to Di Jiu, but after seeing his attitude, she was no longer in the mood to do so.

When he heard the sound of the door closing, Di Jiu came back to his senses. From the looks of it, it was not Shen Ziyu who had dumped him, but the other way around.

Di Jiu rubbed his forehead. He must not have been a useless person in his previous life, if he had given up on such a beautiful woman without a care in the world.

What did she mean when she said that the Fairy Planet would be open to everyone soon?

It didn’t matter. Di Jiu suddenly felt a pang of hunger. Thankfully, his body was feeling alright. He was not experiencing any side effects or feeling faint.

Di Jiu shook his head. He had some memory of martial arts on Earth, but it was very different from what he had experienced back in the Yalun Continent. Besides, his body’s condition prevented him from practising martial arts.

The first necessary step to cultivating the Di family’s Seven Sabers was the Jing-Well Point of the Lesser Yang Meridian. However, there was no way Di Jiu’s Jing-Well Point of the Lesser Yang Meridian could sense the Heavenly Earth Essence Energy.

It was not possible to train without feeling the Essence Energy, so if he were to train forcefully, he would wreck his body so badly that no amount of tonics would be able to help.

The moment Di Jiu thought of this, a feeble aura was effused out of his Jing-Well Point Lesser Yang Meridian. He sprang up with a start, but the faint aura disappeared without a trace.

Di Jiu was so excited that he suddenly jumped up and stared at the ring finger of his left hand. He had actually felt the Essence Energy.

Ever since he had been born, he had never been able to practise martial arts. Not being able to practise martial arts rendered one useless in the Yalun Continent. If he’d had a choice, he would rather have practised martial arts than be a scion of the Di family. The reason Zhen Man had given up on him was because he had lacked martial roots.

If he had not loved Zhen Man so deeply back then, he would not have gotten back on his feet and motivated himself to study medicine.

Little had he expected that, just as he had been about to give up on martial arts, he would actually start practising them again.
