Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Chapter 348: Chapter 347: You Really Stepped Into the 5th-Rank Half-Step Realm?

Shen Han knew that when he received Shi Yuezhu’s transmission in Ming City, it must have been reported to the Dean long ago.

Fortunately, others did not know who was transmitting to him.

“Every time these things are mentioned, you refuse to talk.

In terms of cultivation methods, at nineteen, you are indeed still quite young.

But when it comes to marrying and having children, you are very much behind.”

Upon hearing Dean Tianyi’s inquiry, Shen Han showed a hint of helplessness.

“The person transmitting with me should be, counted as someone I admire…”

“Someone you admire? Does she have no interest in you?”

Dean Tianyi quickly followed with two questioning sentences.

“Possibly interested…”

“Possibly?

Tell me who is the high-born noble fooling you like this.

Interested is interested, not interested is not interested, what’s the point of possibly?”

At this, Dean Tianyi was shockingly a bit angry.

Speaking while entering the house, bringing out a large collection of paintings.

“In my view, such unclear women should simply be separated from and ignored.

Look at this pile of paintings.

Since you defeated Zhu Mingxiang, various aristocratic families of Great Wei have been sending portraits of their daughters.

These paintings were initially selected by me and Zhong Nan once.

These fairies, in terms of family and beauty, are very suitable for you.

If you can’t find anyone suitable, you can take out all the paintings and look again.”

Shen Han was a bit speechless; once you show some strength, matchmakers really come continuously…

“Dean… I still want to focus on cultivation, these…

Please help the student refuse them gently.”

Looking at Dean Tianyi, Shen Han showed a hint of pleading.

Seeing Shen Han like this, Dean Tianyi’s eyes showed more seriousness.

“Honestly, I am really worried, worried you might be encountering a romantic scammer.

You are savvy in other areas, even quite strategic.

But in this romance, you are ultimately naive.

Nowadays, some men and women specifically cheat those with talent for profit.

These people are clearly deceived, yet they consider the others wonderful…”

Shen Han was a bit helpless, why it always gets to these matters when speaking.

“Dean, please don’t worry about these things with me.

I know how to handle it properly…”

Upon hearing this, Dean Tianyi still shook his head.

“If you really knew, I wouldn’t be so worried.

Anyway, don’t go fixating on some bewitching lady or someone fallen into dust.

I couldn’t withstand such a scare.”

Hearing this, Shen Han promptly nodded.

He also heard of a noble in the capital who insisted on getting close to a bewitching lady.

Almost angered his father to death.

“By the way, there’s one more thing.

I heard from Shang Ping, when you were competing with Zhu Mingxiang.

The final strength you displayed ranked at the power of Half-Step to Fifth Grade.

Where did you learn a secret technique to briefly enhance your realm?

What are its backlash effects? Does it harm your body?”

Dean Tianyi asked seriously.

The world has quite a few secret techniques to enhance one’s power.

But many secret techniques have little cultivation significance.

Because the backlash effects are too severe, very harmful to the body.

Some cultivation techniques even cause users’ physical ailments to trigger a plummet in power realm.

In Dean Tianyi’s view, Shen Han probably used such a strange cultivation technique to win those four carriage resources and save face for Great Wei.

After all, who at nineteen years old enters the Half-Step to Fifth Grade, when spoken about, everyone would first question.

During the competition in Ming City, when Shen Han initially displayed strength at Half-Step to Fifth Grade, it surely startled many.

But thereafter, everyone likely regarded it as a cultivation technique.

The matter has passed, Dean Tianyi didn’t want to blame Shen Han.

But if the backlash is too strong, he should quickly have a physician treat him.

“Dean, I’m fine, no backlash…

At most, there may be some slight drowsiness.”

Hearing this, Dean Tianyi’s face showed more reprimand.

“You like to show off, must have taken some pills to temporarily withstand the backlash?

Pills can only temporarily resist this backlash.

The specific countermeasures still need to consult a physician.”

At Half-Step to Fifth Grade, witnessing during Ming City’s competition.

If the techniques are naturally fluid, some might believe it.

Just hearing about it, Dean Tianyi found it hard to believe Shen Han’s power realm truly reached Half-Step to Fifth Grade.

“Don’t be stubborn, do you intend to say you’ve advanced to Half-Step Realm?

In all these years, counting various sects, even Mountain Sea Academy’s top talents combined, I haven’t seen anyone this age entering Half-Step to Fifth Grade.

Many talents, at this age only reach Sixth Grade Fruit Realm, still slightly short of Fifth Grade.”

After saying this, Dean Tianyi prepared to call the attendant to inform a physician to come.

Seeing this, Shen Han didn’t hide anymore, stood up to stop him.

Then walked outside, with a wave, a fierce Sword Qi flew out.

Such power, if not Half-Step to Fifth Grade, then what is it?

Seeing this, even though Dean Tianyi was seasoned in battle, having seen everything.

He was nonetheless shaken…

A wave that carries the power of Half-Step to Fifth Grade, how could this be the effect of a cultivation technique.

“You… you really reached Half-Step Realm…?”

As he spoke, Dean Tianyi stammered slightly.

Shen Han could only gently nod.

The courtyard subsequently fell into silence.

In Dean Tianyi’s mind, the words “Half-Step to Fifth Grade” kept swirling.

Thinking about it, he even felt uncertain about what this realm truly meant.

After a long time, the Dean finally lifted his head and looked at Shen Han.

“Last time you told me you advanced to First Snow to Fifth Grade, weren’t you already at Half-Step to Fifth Grade then?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Han shook his hands repeatedly: “I advanced to Half-Step Realm after setting foot in the Land of the Far South.

There, immersed in poisonous creatures, my body was tempered by poison, thereby speeding the advancement.”

Such an explanation indeed made sense, after all, advancing in Fifth Grade involves tempering the body to strengthen it, preparing for Immortal Realm.

Poisonous creatures tempering the body indeed has this effect.

Except for Shen Han, no one would dare use poison to temper the body.

If struck by an incurable poison, what would be done.

“How exactly did you cultivate, even with such methods, advancing shouldn’t be this rapid…”

Currently, Dean Tianyi spoke somewhat sheepishly.

“Tomorrow evening, at the academy, Prince Qingyuan wants to meet you, in the same courtyard as last time.

If you have nothing else, you should go back now, let me be…”

The power of Half-Step to Fifth Grade indeed impacted Dean Tianyi greatly.
