Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 248 - 247: Young Master Han Shen Han Won...

Chapter 248: Chapter 247: Young Master Han Shen Han Won...

On the southern side of the competition ground, Madam Shen, after being questioned by Shen Han, hid here.

Upon learning that Shen Ye was going to face off against Shen Han, she sent a guard to the scene to observe the competition.

Once the outcome was determined, he would come back to report.

Sitting in the carriage, Madam Shen of the Shen Family was still somewhat worried.

Yet her concern was not whether Shen Ye would lose.

Rather, it was about how the Shen Family should handle it publicly if Shen Ye injured Shen Han.

The elder brother competing with the younger cousin and severely injuring him...

Blame it on an accident?

It doesn’t seem too convincing.

Madam Shen thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a perfect solution.

After all, the Shen Family is an aristocratic family with many soldiers under its command.

If the Shen Family’s own siblings were to harm each other, such rumors could spread within the military and have a broad impact.

Just as Madam Shen was pondering over this, the guard she had sent out hurriedly ran back.

"No need to rush; take your time to speak,"

Madam Shen of the Shen Family consoled the guard, seeing how anxious he was, almost out of breath.

Before he could speak, Madam Shen of the Shen Family preemptively asked, "How is Shen Han, is he seriously hurt?"

The guard took a deep breath and began, "Young Master Han is injured and was taken away by Dean Tianyi.

But whether the injury is serious, I couldn’t see it clearly.

I asked some people while coming here and learned that Young Master Han was taken back to Tianyi Academy for healing, which suggests he might be quite badly hurt."

Madam Shen of the Shen Family maintained her composure on the outside, but a hint of satisfaction subtly appeared on her face.

"Madam Shen... Have you already learned the outcome of the competition between Young Master Ye and Young Master Han?"

The guard suddenly added a sentence, causing Madam Shen of the Shen Family to pause in surprise.

"If I already knew the result, why would I have sent you to deliver the message?"

Upon hearing Madam Shen of the Shen Family’s question about Shen Han, the guard thought she already knew...

"Madam Shen, in the competition between Young Master Ye and Young Master Han, although Young Master Han’s injuries were more severe, in the end, it was Young Master Han who won..."

The guard’s words made Madam Shen tighten her brow, thinking she hadn’t heard clearly because of her age.

"Who did you say won?"

"It was... Young Master Han who won...

Young Master Han’s sword technique was so extraordinary that even Young Master Ye couldn’t defend against it and then... then..."

The guard stammered, sensing the rising anger of Madam Shen of the Shen Family.

Originally, she thought Shen Ye would take this competition to firmly suppress Shen Han’s momentum.

But in the end, it was Shen Han who indeed won...

Madam Shen of the Shen Family felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, starting to feel numb.

She could already anticipate how Shen Qingshan would scold her when they met next time.

Shen Han, whom she referred to as the rebellious child, the disaster child.

In this confrontation, he won...

Shen Qingshan wouldn’t be easily fooled, as he was knowledgeable in the path of cultivation.

Although Shen Ye used a doppelgänger to engage Shen Han, Shen Han was nearly four years younger.

Shen Ye is currently at the Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm, and the strength of his doppelgänger was at least at the Fifth Grade First Snow Realm.

Yet he just lost to Shen Han.

From this battle, one could even conclude.

Shen Han’s talent and potential surpass that of Shen Ye...

Thinking of this, Madam Shen of the Shen Family started to find it a bit hard to breathe.

She began gasping heavily.

The guards and maids around her quickly helped her down from the carriage.

Outside space liberated her somewhat, and Madam Shen of the Shen Family finally regained some calm.

She had come for an enjoyable outing, only to encounter such a result...

Now, Madam Shen of the Shen Family had no further thoughts; today’s competition result between Shen Ye and Shen Han would soon spread to the Shen Mansion and reach the Eastern Garrison.

Her only hope was that Shen Han’s injury would be serious enough, ideally destroying his foundation completely.

If he were rendered useless, her master wouldn’t have a reason to scold her further.

What was truly worrisome was if Shen Han only sustained some superficial injuries.

If he recovered and continued to grow, Madam Shen of the Shen Family had no idea what kind of scoldings she would receive...

A descendant with talent and potential comparable to Shen Ye’s was driven out just like that...

At 5:00 PM, this grand academy competition finally concluded.

The final outcome surprised everyone.

Jade Dragon Academy came out on top, Qiling Academy ranked second, and Tianyi Academy third.

And because Shen Ye, representing the Academy, challenged Shen Han and lost, Mountain Sea Academy ranked fourth.

Naturally, Hongtai Academy came in fifth place.

Nobody really took these academy rankings seriously.

The people present could clearly see that Mountain Sea Academy remained the strongest academy.

Even being challenged by Shen Ye and Luo Zuchen, Mountain Sea Academy became more memorable and watched.

Furthermore, Mountain Sea Academy never worried about lacking students.

Each year, they even had to filter through a significant number of applicants. Others didn’t really care about the ranking.

This year’s grand academy competition was genuinely unforgettable to all participants.

Be it the location of this competition or the challenge between Shen Han and Shen Ye.

Honestly, this was undoubtedly the most entertaining academy competition in recent years.

Many people’s perceptions about Tianyi Academy started to change.

The academy, long considered lacking in foundation and incapable of nurturing talents, seemed to have transformed.

If Tianyi Academy could nurture a genius like Shen Han, surely, they can cultivate other talents as well?

It’s foreseeable that next year, Tianyi Academy may welcome a large influx of new students.

With the academy competition over, everyone began their return journey.

Thirty miles was still a long way for ordinary people.

In the eyes of cultivators, though, it wasn’t much of a distance.

As they traveled along the way, everyone continued to discuss incessantly.

The main topic of discussion was, of course, Shen Han and Shen Ye.

Many who didn’t understand the paths of cultivation continued to boast about Shen Ye.

They said that although Shen Ye lost, it was his doppelgänger that lost.

If it were a real fight between the two, Shen Han definitely couldn’t win.

Those who understood the nuances just smiled and didn’t bother to argue.

Tianyi Academy.

The room where Shen Han resided, though much larger than his previous one, was still crowded with people today.

Dean Tianyi, the vice dean, Mr. Zhong Nan, the academy’s martial doctor...

For a room, how many people could it hold?

Yet none of them were willing to leave, staying by the bedside.

"Doctor Sun, are you sure Shen Han is not in any serious trouble?"

Dean Tianyi frowned. At the competition site, accompanying doctors already examined him.

They said Shen Han wasn’t injured at the core, although his injuries weren’t light either.

How is it that once back, Doctor Sun simply said there was no issue...

Hearing the dean’s words, Doctor Sun helplessly spread his hands.

"Dean, are you hoping the child has an issue...

I have examined very thoroughly, and truly there is no problem.

If he had been brought in any later, he’d likely have healed himself."

These words left Dean Tianyi somewhat speechless.

"But why hasn’t the child woken up, and remains unconscious..."

"I’ve checked; he is not unconscious, just asleep.

It seems he’s exhausted a vast amount of energy, and recovery from injuries requires rest.

Let him rest for a day or two, and he will be fine."
