Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 247 - 246: Shen Ye, There’s No Need to Be Such a Sore Loser
Everyone present felt an unparalleled silence around them, as if their hearing had disappeared.
The scene before them was something no one had expected.
How could such a situation occur...
In the center of the competition arena, the figure that had been pierced by a sword had already begun to gradually dissipate. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Driven by his heart thought to control the image, Shen Ye, although not directly hit, was still counterattacked, with a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Meanwhile, Shen Han in the arena was not faring much better.
The ripples surrounding his figure had a strong counterforce, like a high-speed rotating blade, continuously inflicting wounds.
At this moment, Shen Han’s clothes were already torn in many places.
Fortunately, he was wearing the Inner Armor gifted by Shi Yuezhu, which provided substantial protection.
But both his hands and feet were wounded.
Holding his breath and concentrating, he closed his eyes, activating the Unceasing Skill calmly.
These injuries did not hurt the fundamentals, it would surely be alright.
Shen Han was not worried, but Dean Tianyi and Shi Yuezhu were very concerned.
As they prepared to move forward, Luo Zuchen still blocked the path.
His eyes showed fierceness, with a desperate intent to succeed.
Shen Ye exchanged a glance with him and nodded slightly.
Even his own avatar was no match; Shen Han’s growth trajectory had already spiraled out of control.
Luo Zuchen appearing temporarily was already not easy; he dared not act recklessly anymore.
What he could do now was only to block the surrounding powerhouses.
Shen Han, though not fundamentally injured, was still not lightly harmed; if he were to follow up with one more move now...
In contemplation, a grim intention also gathered in Shen Ye’s eyes.
The conflict had surfaced; Shen Han would not stand on his side anyway, and might even contend for interests with him in the future.
If not resolved now, it may indeed, as Mr. Luo said, lead to endless troubles.
Thinking of this, Shen Ye’s thoughts became heavy, and a blade flashing with cold light stabbed toward Shen Han.
Shen Han was still in the process of healing at the moment, utterly unguarded against this.
The blade was launched, but a surge from the fellow students of Mountain Sea Academy standing beside Shen Ye completely blocked this move.
"A loss is a loss, a defeat is a defeat.
Brother Shen Ye, must you be so unable to accept defeat?
We, as fellow students, since we believed in you and agreed for you to represent Mountain Sea Academy in challenging him,
should be mentally prepared to accept defeat.
Now that the outcome is decided, others are resting and injured, yet you sneak attack—truly not the behavior expected from Mountain Sea Academy students."
The personal students of Mountain Sea Academy frowned tightly.
Looking at Shen Ye, there was even a hint of contempt in their eyes.
Labeled as a prodigy, yet behaving in such a despicable manner.
No wonder he was valued by Luo Zuchen; birds of a feather indeed.
Seeing Shen Ye being blocked by the students of Mountain Sea Academy, Luo Zuchen knew today’s plot had completely failed.
He landed beside Shen Ye angrily, glaring at the surrounding students of Mountain Sea Academy.
"Which academy are you from, helping outsiders to deal with your own!"
Luo Zuchen scolded, while the students of Mountain Sea Academy looked at him with cold indifference.
"Mr. Luo, Mountain Sea Academy nurtures us to be strong, but also in the wisdom of the ancestors.
One standing in the world, without faith, cannot be a person.
We had clearly agreed on the rules before, a loss is a loss, a defeat is a defeat.
Do the students of Mountain Sea Academy find it unbearable to lose once and resort to sneak attacking an opponent?"
This student from Mountain Sea was filled with anger, his words reprimanding.
After he finished speaking, another student next to him continued.
"Brother Chengfeng speaks truly, we students of Mountain Sea Academy, are not only exceptionally skilled but also of noble character.
The Great Wei’s national strength thrives due to the fundamental principles of morality and etiquette.
Without morality and etiquette, suspicion would fill the paths of cultivators, leading to deceit and treachery.
Should that day come, it would be heaven’s path in disarray, the nation in disarray."
Luo Zuchen panted heavily, never expecting that in the end, his plan would be disrupted by the students of Mountain Sea Academy.
"You greenhorns, what do you understand!
I want to ask your teaching masters, how do they teach you!"
As he spoke, an elder in gray stepped forward from the back of the crowd.
"Luo Zuchen, these students are taught by me, and I heard just now, which word of what they said is wrong?
If you and your prized student want to eliminate Shen Han, find a chance on your own, don’t cause trouble in this academy competition.
The thousand-year foundation of Mountain Sea Academy is more than just cultivation prowess.
If you have further objections, you can find the dean, or even have a spar with me.
Allowing Shen Ye to challenge on behalf of the academy has already given you enough face, do not push your luck."
Luo Zuchen was rebuked by someone from his own academy, his face turning red with anger.
Yet at this moment, he did not know how to respond back.
To Luo Zuchen, concepts like morality, etiquette, rules didn’t matter.
But his disregard did not mean others wouldn’t care.
Rule breakers only benefit in an environment where rules are observed.
If everyone started disregarding the rules, no one would know when they might fall victim to others.
Seeing his planning had failed, Luo Zuchen hesitated for a moment, then left with Shen Ye.
Beside Shen Han, Dean Tianyi had already gone to protect him, taking out a few Pills for Shen Han to consume.
Shi Yuezhu stood a few steps away, as on the surface, there were not many ties between her and Shen Han...
Soon, two instructors from Mountain Sea Academy approached.
"This is the promised reward before the competition, please accept it.
Mountain Sea Academy keeps its word, daring to promise to let Shen Ye represent the academy and challenge, also willing to accept the price of this defeat."
Dean Tianyi was momentarily stunned seeing the item before him.
This truly was a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, a Celestial Phoenix Pearl...
Mountain Sea Academy, actually willing to part with such a thing...
This invitation battle turmoil concluded completely.
But the grand academy tournament continued.
Shen Han, now injured, had Dean Tianyi deciding to forfeit the match against Qiling Academy.
Supporting Shen Han back to the camp, they called for a doctor for a detailed examination of Shen Han’s body.
Mountain Sea Academy had already been eliminated by Tianyi Academy, and Tianyi Academy conceded.
Now it was just Qiling Academy and Jade Dragon Academy competing to vie for the first place.
The audience surrounding, watching the two academies face off, somehow felt that something was amiss...
Compared to when Shen Han and Shen Ye faced off...
The pressure, the emanating fierce aura, was quite different...
Inside the camp, after the physician’s examination, though Shen Han’s injury was not fundamental, it was considered quite substantial.
Dean Tianyi did not linger, quickly took Shen Han, and left controlling the sky with his carriage.
Shi Yuezhu was worried in her heart, but knew she could only ask tomorrow at the earliest.
Remaining at the competition site, Shi Yuezhu and Su Jinyu had little interest in watching the ongoing matches.
There were quite talented students from both academies but indeed missing a bit of brilliance.
