within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each line seemed to carry a trace of profound truth of the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more mysteriously, the small characters on the wall formed by snake bodies were still incessantly twisting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the words on the wall, they appeared somewhat terrifying and frightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han read word by word downwards, and in a trance, the small snakes forming the characters on the wall seemed to rise into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake bodies flew, directly pouncing onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han wanted to dodge, but his body felt as if it were bound, his feet heavy beyond measure, difficult to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small snake that had pounced onto him opened its venomous fangs and bit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a fierce stabbing pain struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venom seeped from the fangs, permeating into his bone marrow and blood vessels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han felt that the venom was terrifyingly potent, the bite bringing unbearable pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like thorns encircling under his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this what it means to be intertwined with thorns...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire body seemed to have no place that wasn’t in pain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clenching his teeth, Shen Han could feel the clarity of this pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the previous pain during Bone Tempering, calling it ten times more painful was no exaggeration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his fingertips felt as if numerous needles were piercing outward from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the pain, Shen Han had begun to sweat profusely, soaking his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin also turned bright red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quarter of an hour, half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain showed no sign of subsiding, while the small snakes kept biting him randomly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rows of small holes on his body were all bitten by these beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, extracting entries, as well as the \"Gen Mountain Secret Technique\" and \"Celestial Dao Sword Momentum\", could significantly enhance Spiritual Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his Mental Telekinesis was strong enough, and he had reached Sixth Grade, he didn’t pass out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enduring like this for half a two-hour period, the original pain seemed to have alleviated a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Shen Han felt his body was entangled with circles of thorns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even moving would cause immeasurable stinging pain throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after this half a two-hour period, perhaps having accustomed to the severe pain, he felt he could endure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another half a two-hour period later, the severe pain all over his body further weakened significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to become bearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attempting to step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His feet felt as though they were bound with iron chains weighing thousands of pounds, still difficult to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clenching his teeth, Shen Han exerted effort to step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one step forward, suddenly he became clear-headed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him was still that piece of wall, with characters formed by small snakes, still existing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han rubbed his eyes and then rolled up his sleeves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his arm, on his shoulder, where were the small holes bitten by snakes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than some sweat stains, there were no other marks on his body at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the past two-hour period, he had fallen into an Illusion Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body that had previously endured the severe pain now felt unspeakably relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his gaze again toward the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unceasing Skill...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characters formed by the small snakes turned out to be a Body-Protecting Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recorded all the characters on the wall, then reinserted the entry labeled \"Conceal & Obfuscate\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to the spacious secret chamber, he removed the entry labeled \"Damaged\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original stone door also resealed the secret chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not as solid as before, it was hidden enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After retreating outside, Shen Han continued cultivating in the Secret Realm, and rested quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technique he had just obtained was called \"Unceasing Skill\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a type of Body-Protecting Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, this might be the most peculiar cultivation technique he had encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Celestial Dao Sword Momentum\" always gave him some initiative, allowing him to enter consciousness and cultivate it when he wished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the \"Unceasing Skill\" offered no choice, pulling him directly into the Illusion Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, his Mental Telekinesis was fairly strong, preventing him from being overwhelmed by the severe pain within the environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the transcription of the cultivation technique in hand, he was more vigilant compared to before when reading it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thoroughly reading the technique, Shen Han finally gained some understanding of this Body-Protecting Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Body-Protecting Technique had two advantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first was its resistance to poison, perhaps due to the technique’s numerous intricate connections with snakes, making it extremely poison-resistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second was its body-protection capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being called protection, it was actually a powerful recovery ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quick recovery to resist injuries’ intrusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Secret Realm, Shen Han closed his eyes, letting his consciousness fall into the cognitive sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the \"Gen Mountain Secret Technique\" being such an enigmatic technique, he could wholeheartedly test the efficacy of this Body-Protecting Technique...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Xiaoyao Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After canceling the engagement with Shen Han, Su Jinyu went to Xiaoyao Peak to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shi Yuezhu’s disciple, she naturally resided at Moon Bamboo Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jinyu had immense respect for her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever Shi Yuezhu said, she would follow, more obedient than to her family elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But afterward, Su Jinyu had some arguments with her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The point of contention was Shen Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t understand why her master kept speaking positively about Shen Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The praise in his words led Su Jinyu to a sense of illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This illusion was that Shen Han seemed more outstanding than her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With opposing opinions, Su Jinyu became slyer, avoiding mentioning Shen Han to her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a slightly stable two months, Su Jinyu was once again a bit troubled these days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for her distress was the rumors that had reached Xiaoyao Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, Su Jinyu was holding a longsword upside down, sitting on a stone chair by the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her delicate brows furrowed, the word \"troubled\" written all over her pretty face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, you shouldn’t bother yourself over such people; it’s not worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This will only disturb your cultivation, and if he hears you’re troubled over him, he might even be quite pleased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid Qingcao standing beside Su Jinyu was still as articulate as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jinyu gazed into the distance, claiming not to be troubled by it, but it was much easier said than done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to distract oneself from thinking about it often leads to more thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the saying goes, even a toad dreams of eating swan meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how worried you are, miss, you can’t control what others think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, even if Shen Han dreams day and night, he won’t touch the tips of your wings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Jinyu remain silent, Qingcao spoke again to console her mistress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, it wasn’t so easy to comfort Su Jinyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, why bother adding so much worry onto yourself...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly recalling Shen Han, Su Jinyu’s eyes showed a hint of disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it were as simple as you said...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, my father spoke to me, hoping I would go talk to Shen Han and persuade him to lean toward our Su Family...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingcao paused for a moment: \"The master’s intention is... to recruit Shen Han?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1211,"2026-05-29T03:40:11.653Z","2026-06-01T04:29:06.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","339730d1e2595353d1f7c0e7f7dcf7c4489770fe33eb317fe611089ffde944e5","engagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-chapter-168","engagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-chapter-166",546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fengagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-cover.jpg"]
