Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 242 - 241: Madam Shen’s Heart Wavers

Those who previously mocked Shen Han, saying he carried the title of a prodigy and looked down on everyone.

Have now all fallen silent.

At least from this brief exchange, Shen Han’s hard power is undeniably solid.

Over at Tianyi Academy, Yu Jing was also watching attentively.

Shen Han’s performance indeed made him somewhat uncomfortable.

After all, when he faced Yu Shaoqing, he hadn’t seemed to force Yu Shaoqing into a disadvantageous position.

Right now, although Yu Jing was a student at Tianyi Academy, he secretly hoped Yu Shaoqing would win.

In the dueling ground, Yu Shaoqing’s eyes were full of seriousness.

As the Sword Shadow thrust, he dodged aside.

He merely avoided the Sword Shadow, but did not break the move.

These Sword Shadows, if not successful in one strike, would redirect their blades and slash again.

No wonder he struggled, Yu Shaoqing wasn’t trained in the Capital City.

Thinking back to Shen Han and Su Jinyu’s sword duel, he didn’t witness it.

If the Sword Shadows called forth by Shen Han weren’t shattered, they would continue to linger around him.

Luckily, he reacted swiftly, and in the next move, he began to attack with Fist Momentum.

The Fist Force suddenly collided with the Sword Shadow, shattering it.

He could even break several Sword Shadows with a single punch.

Many who supported Yu Shaoqing felt slightly relieved.

Yet they barely had a moment’s peace before Shen Han’s long sword swung out.

Accompanied by Misty Sword Intent, it seemed as if hundreds of sharp blades were slashing.

Many who practiced the Martial Path were startled.

What kind of strength would it take to execute such a move?

Shi Yuezhu couldn’t help but take another look: "When did Shen Han learn Lin Yuanlong’s Misty Sword Intent..."

Beside her, Su Jinyu was not surprised; Shen Han had used it when he dueled her last time.

"Is there anything to say, naturally it was passed to him by Senior Sister Xilan...

Back when he was still at the Shen Mansion, Senior Sister Xilan took quite good care of him."

Hearing this, Shi Yuezhu’s expression didn’t change, as she simply replied: "Is that so."

Under the Misty Sword Intent, seeing hundreds of moves were nothing but a mix of feints and real strikes.

Multiple sword blades overwhelmed Yu Shaoqing, and only after countering with Fist Force did he realize that these were not real moves at all.

It was nothing but a trick to confuse!

This was just how Misty Sword Intent was; Lin Yuanlong’s Sword Techniques were often said to be trickery.

He always liked to play with strange, odd forms, and this Misty Sword Intent was a profound reflection of his Sword Dao.

Yu Shaoqing realized it, but it was already a bit late.

Sword Shadows were already poised at his side.

And Shen Han, with a long sword in hand, stood beside him, the blade pointed at his chest.

Generally, pointing the sword’s edge towards an opponent’s face implies contempt or ridicule.

Shen Han slightly lowered the blade, which was a gesture of respect towards Yu Shaoqing.

It must be said, he indeed had the capability.

But he barely knew this Sword Cultivator.

And did not think through a counter-strategy.

Trying purely to overpower him with Sixth Grade Fruit Realm strength proved difficult.

When the result unfolded before everyone, the surrounding onlookers fell silent. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Only the summer insects and frogs continued their relentless cries.

Tianyi Academy versus Hongtai Academy, in the end, Tianyi Academy won.

In this match, Shen Han was able to defeat Yu Shaoqing with his Cultivation Sword Intent.

Demonstrating to everyone an instance of "victory from weakness."

The power of the Sword Technique, the speed of movement, Shen Han only exhibited the strength of a Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm.

Yet it was precisely this Sixth Grade Half-Step strength that prevailed over Yu Shaoqing.

Perhaps after around ten breaths, finally a Tianyi Academy student began to cheer.

Other spectators also started to whisper and discuss.

When Yu Jing lost, many Tianyi Academy students were preparing to leave early.

But as it was late, they decided to watch until the end despite themselves.

Little did they expect to find such a surprise.

There are no unworthy individuals under a great reputation, a prodigy is always a prodigy.

Tianyi Academy ultimately held onto fourth place.

Dean Tianyi’s old face finally broke into a smile.

He smiled so wide, his mouth couldn’t close.

Previously, he kept saying that winning or losing didn’t matter, and that dignity could be regained later.

He spoke so freely.

But in reality, he was very eager to win.

Look how happy he is now.

The duel against Yu Shaoqing finally brought Tianyi Academy’s head up.

As it was late, the tutors of Mountain Sea Academy announced to continue the competition at 7:00 AM tomorrow.

Returning to the tent.

Compared to others’ excitement, Shen Han remained rather calm.

Although Yu Jing had previously spoken somewhat dismissively of Shen Han.

But no one held it against him, making him feel embarrassed.

Yet Yu Jing still felt uncomfortable in his heart...

This academy competition, Tianyi Academy was supposed to rely on him.

But in the end, he was the one dragging them down...

In the tent, everyone’s attitude towards Shen Han had slightly changed.

More respect could be seen in their eyes when looking at Shen Han.

To be honest, if Shen Han hadn’t offended Luo Zuchen, people might have gathered around him, constantly seeking guidance.

But now, they dared not get too close to Shen Han.

Dean Tianyi came out again to say a few words of encouragement, and then let everyone go rest.

Looking at Shen Han, he initially wanted to say something to him.

After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head.

Dean Tianyi initially wanted to advise Shen Han that tomorrow’s competition could actually be forfeited.

Being able to overcome Hongtai Academy was already quite good.

But in the end, he gave up.

Dean Tianyi felt that sometimes you have to press forward to know the outcome, and you won’t know without trying.

By the south slope of the viewing platform.

Madam Shen sat inside her luxurious carriage.

Fortunately, the surrounding darkness concealed her grim expression from others.

Since Shen Han began to make a name for himself, Madam Shen felt there hadn’t been a smooth moment.

This disaster child whom she despised, how did he come to this point...

The Thousand-Autumn Grand Gathering, the duel with Su Jinyu.

These deeds to Madam Shen were only hearsay.

As for the match against Qianmu Fan, she had seen Shen Han in action personally, but that victory was only because Qianmu Fan’s strategy was seen through by Shen Han.

Tonight, she truly saw Shen Han in action.

Though she did not cultivate the Martial Path, as a former head of a large family, Madam Shen could discern certain subtleties.

Yu Shaoqing from Hongtai Academy was a formidable opponent.

After watching his duel with Yu Jing, Madam Shen was certain that Shen Han would undoubtedly lose.

She even thought he wouldn’t be able to withstand a single move.

Yet the truth was that Shen Han used Sword Techniques and Sword Intent.

With the strength of a Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm, he overcame Yu Shaoqing.

Many around were praising, saying that Shen Han’s reputation as a prodigy wasn’t undeserved.

In public, Madam Shen remarked: just had some good luck.

But inwardly, she was churning.

This son whom she considered a jinx was no longer ordinary.

Previously, Shen Qingshan had scolded her for failing to see Shen Han’s talent and potential.

At the time, Madam Shen was not convinced.

But having seen today’s events, she even felt that it would be unusual if she wasn’t reprimanded...
