Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Chapter 416: Chapter 414: Shen Han Wins

The crowd turned their heads to look at Shen Han, faces adorned with mocking smiles.

The mansion masters of Cangxuan Valley noticed this but only glanced a few times without saying much.

Young people, after all, often like to engage in rivalries.

Whoever offends them, they always think of revenge, think of making the offender lose face.

For the young, it’s quite normal.

After all, as the saying goes, the young are combative, the middle-aged are lustful, and the old are greedy.

These mansion masters were once young themselves, and during their youth, didn’t they also want to compete like Zheng Changnian?

Thinking of this, the mansion masters allowed Guan Yutang and Zheng Changnian to fool around.

It wasn’t long before Ying Jiu, having heard the news, also showed up.

Looking at Shen Han, there was a trace of sympathy and helplessness on her face.

She had clearly advised Shen Han, but what can be done if he doesn’t listen to advice…

Outside the competition grounds, quite a few Outer Sect disciples of Feixia Mansion were already mocking Shen Han.

As Shen Han expected, these Outer Sect disciples seemed to really hate him.

The trial given by Mansion Master Xu Yuan to the Outer Sect disciples was initially just a gimmick.

Even if they went, they would just gather some herbs.

If it was a benefit, it surely was.

But could this trial bring a change to any disciple?

Absolutely not.

They just shoved all their dissatisfaction onto Shen Han, blaming him.

At this moment, people didn’t understand why Shen Han still dared to stand out in public.

Even someone as overwhelmingly strong as Zhang Xiangxiang was no match for this Guan Yutang.

In other words, Shen Han was far behind Zhang Xiangxiang, facing Guan Yutang was simply courting death.

Moreover, there was another fact that Guan Yutang was Zheng Changnian’s cousin.

Offending Zheng Changnian meant he would probably go even harder on him.

In comparison, Zhang Xiangxiang bore no grudges; it was just a pure test of strength.

Amidst the crowd’s ridicule, Zhang Xiangxiang seemed slightly amused.

He walked up a bit closer: “Go back, you can’t possibly be his match.

Getting angry here alone won’t boost your strength.

The path of cultivation is not about success simply because you have Desperate Intent in your heart.

Keeping calm and focusing on practice is the right path, go back.”

Zhang Xiangxiang has been in the Outer Sect for over a year, and among the Inner Sect disciples, he is relatively friendly to the Outer Sect disciples.

Seeing them being mocked by those in higher positions, he actually felt a bit indignant.

Upon hearing this, Shen Han just smiled.

“Thank you for your kind words, Senior Brother Zhang, but today, I really want to give it a try.”

As soon as he finished speaking, before those around could ridicule him, Shen Han had already stepped into the competition grounds.

That step caught everyone off guard.

This was evidently a reckless move.

Guan Yutang, being Zheng Changnian’s cousin in this match, had no qualms.

Even if he struck hard, no one could say anything.

Upon witnessing this scene, even the mansion masters couldn’t help but exclaim, “Young people, truly quick to anger…

For a bit of face, aware of the risk of death, yet they still charge forward…”

Mansion Master Xu of Feixia Mansion saw this and snorted coldly, “I thought he was just arrogant, but he’s not only arrogant but also foolish.”

Beside him, Mansion Master Xie of Chuixue Mansion frowned and glanced at the Inner Sect disciples nearby.

“From now on, let’s not accept anyone coming from Feixia Mansion, recruiting such people.

Embarrassing, seeing him wearing our mansion’s emblem.

Even as a mansion master, I feel embarrassed too.

The scolded Inner Sect disciples could only lower their heads.

They had no complaints in their hearts but didn’t know what to say.

At that moment, all eyes were fixed on the competition grounds.

Though everyone knew there was a vast gap in strength between the two in this match, leaving no suspense about the result.

But the process should be quite interesting.

The dozen or so mansion masters present didn’t leave; they weren’t particularly interested in the match.

But after the match ended, they wanted to have a chat with Guan Yutang.

Who would want to give up on such a talented disciple?

A handful of them who sympathized with Shen Han could only sigh softly.

In the competition grounds, Guan Yutang didn’t waste words, smiling lightly as he instantly made his move.

The Divine Soul manifested, and he and his Divine Soul attacked Shen Han from both sides.

With a relaxed smile on his face.

Guan Yutang had actually been holding back, for defeating Shen Han in one move.

Finishing too quickly wouldn’t be fun at all.

Just the next moment, Shen Han’s figure suddenly flickered.

The “Lonely Wind Snow-Treading Step” was instantly unleashed, its speed far surpassing that of Guan Yutang.

With the unveiling of this move, it immediately stopped the crowd’s ridicule.

It must be said, with this body technique speed, Shen Han really had some skills.

As his figure flickered, everyone thought Shen Han was merely dodging.

But the next moment, the long sword in Shen Han’s hand had already appeared, thrusting directly at Guan Yutang’s side.

Beside him, Guan Yutang’s Divine Soul blocked instantly, using its body to intercept Shen Han’s sword technique.

As the Divine Soul blocked, the long saber in Guan Yutang’s hand followed closely.

His cooperation with his Divine Soul was incredibly seamless, without any pause in the techniques.

As the long saber swung, everyone thought the match was about to end.

Shen Han had managed to display a glimmer of brilliance, quite good.

Yet as the long saber came down, it never touched Shen Han.

The previous deceptive move of the Divine Soul hadn’t confused Shen Han.

The long sword in his hand, however, took a highly cunning strike at Guan Yutang.

The Divine Soul blocked again, but this time, the power of laws was attached to Shen Han’s long sword.
