Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 306 - 305: Capital City Rain Listening Pavilion
In the courtyard, Shen Han tried once more to suppress his power, meeting three classmates with the strength of just entering the Eighth Grade.
However, there seemed to be quite a gap between their strengths.
Even though he suppressed his strength to the early Eighth Grade, the difference in techniques and body technique was still obvious.
Since beginning his cultivation, he had rarely engaged with ordinary people.
Among those he encountered, they were at least as talented as children like Shen Ao.
Like someone such as Qianmu Fan, their strength was top-tier among peers.
Confronting them and defeating them across realms was somewhat a test of strength.
For this reason, Shen Han believed that cross-realm engagements would be extremely difficult.
But, against the three like Chai Haifu, it seemed... not that difficult...
Though they possessed the Seventh Grade realm strength, their understanding of techniques and combat thinking were deeply flawed.
Sparring with them, he felt unlikely to improve much.
Considering this, Shen Han decided to change tactics.
Using the power of laws to attack, he knew they couldn’t withstand it.
But what if he changed his approach?
Like the Little Pool Immortal, spreading laws to define a field.
Like an array, covering a region with the Little Pool Immortal’s power of laws.
Under these laws, cultivation strength would entirely vanish, and scholars’ techniques would be impossible.
And as the wielder of the power of laws, he would not be bound by them.
If he could wield such power, it would immensely enhance his odds in confrontations.
As he pondered, the power of laws began to emanate around him.
Step by step, initially using Seventh Grade strength to apply the power of laws.
Around him, the power of laws flowed outward like a clear spring.
Circle after circle of power, silent and formless, flowed to the surroundings.
According to Shen Han’s arrangement, Chai Haifu and the others took action again.
Even so, they were still able to attack with their Seventh Grade strength.
The surrounding laws did not seem very restraining.
His three classmates, clearly ordinary in strength, seemed unaffected.
Seeing this, Shen Han began to raise his strength, no longer suppressing it to the Seventh Grade.
Leaping to the peak of the Sixth Grade, suddenly, the power of laws increased dramatically.
Beside him, Chai Haifu and the others noticeably slowed down.
Even their weapons seemed to grow significantly heavier.
Seeing this, Shen Han tried to increase his strength further.
With the strength of the early Fifth Grade First Snow Realm, he fully unleashed all his power.
Finally, with this realm suppression, the surrounding power of laws made a significant leap.
The three sparring with Shen Han still looked bewildered.
They truly couldn’t understand why it was like this.....
Clearly, they were fine before, but now suddenly, their power had plummeted.
The closer they got to Shen Han, the more they felt their strength draining away.
Even at the last moment, standing next to Shen Han, they felt like ordinary mortals.
Even wielding their swords required great effort.
"Brother Shen, what kind of cultivation technique is this..."
"Yeah, Brother Shen...
I’m almost out of strength to wield my weapon..."
Not far away, Tang Xuhe looked even more troubled: "You guys are still okay, I’m the unlucky one...
I couldn’t summon any abnormal phenomenon, feeling utterly powerless..."
The discomfort made the three of them feel extremely anxious.
Shen Han obviously had not touched them, yet they felt poisoned, their bodies exhausted.
Seeing their panicked expressions, Shen Han decided not to bully them further.
He called for some food, and the four of them shared a meal in the courtyard.
"How did you feel just now? Could you tell me?"
Shen Han remained curious, this being his first use of the power of laws.
Compared to attacking with the power of laws, the effect was indeed much better.
Forming a vast law space required substantial strength from a cultivator.
Moreover, without reaching the suppression capability, the effect was significantly weaker.
If merely limiting the opponent, array skills indeed became the preferred choice.
Not limited by realm, even Immortal Realm experts could be affected by an array set up by a Fifth Grade cultivator like himself.
Hearing this, Wu Jiahuan couldn’t help but speak up.
"To be honest, Brother Shen, I almost suspected you were using some evil technique.
As soon as I approached you, my entire body felt suddenly weak.
All over, as if drained of strength.
Honestly, it felt like... being poisoned..."
As Wu Jiahuan finished speaking, Chai Haifu also chimed in.
"Indeed, it felt like being poisoned, weak all over, as if my strength was being sucked away.
But when slightly away from Brother Shen, I seemed to recover instantly.
Quite strange..."
Hearing this, Shen Han quickly asked: "How close do you have to be to feel poisoned?"
"About four feet, already quite close."
Four feet...
In combat, using laws to create a limiting field seemed unreliable.
The best method was still to use laws, attached to techniques or weapons.
This way, dealing with opponents was much more effective.
However, the word "poisoned" did give Shen Han some insight.
Could this law field suppress all poisons?
At night, Shen Han lay on his bed.
At least after today’s events, he had a clear direction for studying the power of laws.
He then glanced at "Unceasing Skill."
The reason he dared to venture to the Land of the Far South was partly due to the confidence given by "Unceasing Skill."
The greatest effect of "Unceasing Skill" was its poison resistance.
Secondly, it had an extraordinary ability to recover.
The Land of the Far South teemed with poisonous creatures.
Just right against the effects of "Unceasing Skill."
But he still needed to be very cautious with many things.
Poisons varied in depth, and while "Unceasing Skill" offered resistance, it couldn’t resist all the world’s toxins.
As the saying goes, in a fight, a strong defense might withstand a heavy punch, but could it withstand continuous heavy blows?
As long as the threshold was breached, that critical point.
Even with "Unceasing Skill," he might still encounter danger.
...
In the Capital City at the Rain Listening Pavilion.
Su Jinyu returned to the Rain Listening Pavilion without informing anyone.
Upon hearing movement, the maid Qingcao quickly ran to check.
If someone intruded, she would immediately call a guard.
However, the person before her was her beloved young lady.
Filled with joy, she quickly greeted her.
"Miss, why have you returned~
If you had told Qingcao, I could have prepared in advance your favorite snacks~"
Qingcao smiled brightly, her words conveying her happiness.
However, today Su Jinyu completely ignored her.
She walked through the corridor into her room, and with a wave of her hand, closed the door.
