Many evolvers at the Golden Academy were not familiar with Li Yi because he joined the academy late and his strength was not strong. The only times he caused significant uproars were when he clashed with the adjudicator Du Bai Zhi, forcing Du Bai Zhi to leave through soul crossing, and another time when he killed a female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage on the Magic Battle Platform, which provoked several Golden Core cultivators to intervene publicly.
But in the end, he escaped across dimensions, and the matter was left unresolved.
"Li Yi has returned from crossing dimensions and even opposed a Nascent Soul cultivator? How is that possible? The last time his strength was only at the Soul Realm; even if he had broken through to the Spirit Power Realm, it would be barely sufficient to fight against a Golden Core Cultivator. How could he suddenly be so fierce, daring to fight a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
