No wonder...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to himself, Su Jinyu wasn’t too surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just that his delicate face showed a hint of focused light, taking things more seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jade hand grasped the sword hilt lightly, flicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was merely a light stroke, yet carried a fierce momentum, rapidly advancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before one sword could fall, the sword’s edge revealed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a sly rabbit, the shadow pursued its course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those slightly weaker couldn’t discern the sword edge in Su Jinyu’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, only specks of light flashed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just this bit of light was enough to instill dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han gripped the longsword upright, sword aloft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jinyu’s sword might, compared to the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum in his mind, was at least a notch below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his training, he faced the overwhelming power of the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast sword shadow of the Celestial Dao, each sword edge was deadly and ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jinyu’s sword was far lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upright sword emerged, slashing the sunset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a move from the \"Sunset Swordsmanship,\" merely a basic sword technique of Xiaoyao Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The might of one sword, yet not weaker than Su Jinyu’s strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Again... it’s blocked again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strike seemed not just to be the power of the Sixth Grade First Snow Realm, but the Half-Step Realm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Tianyi Academy’s side, the tutors all focused their gaze on Mr. Zhong Nan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was closest to Shen Han, he should know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was just the Sixth Grade First Snow Realm, folks could understand, given he had previously defeated Dugu Tian, he must have some skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculating Shen Han’s age, he was only eighteen, a few months younger than Su Jinyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Mr. Zhong Nan was even more surprised than the other tutors at what he saw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han had honestly told him he had Sixth Grade power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But truth be told, who could have guessed his \"Sixth Grade power\" was not First Snow Realm but Half-Step Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully it wasn’t the Fruit Realm, or he would have been scared to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the martial arena, after the probing strike, the sword shadows continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the Heavy Sword, nearly all sword techniques were performed with agility and sharpness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword techniques flowed without the slightest pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han held his sword, the blade wrapped in a layer of fierce shadow, remaining as calm as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Su Jinyu’s elegant brows had unconsciously furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the sword shadows clashed again, another buzzing sound emanated, pushing both of them apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exchange lasted less than a quarter of an hour, yet the match took everyone by surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was thought it would end with just one sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the situation moved in an entirely unexpected direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the martial arena, Shen Ye, who had always been indifferent, finally showed a hint of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head to look at Shen Han, it was probably the first time he truly regarded Shen Han in all these years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Tianyi Academy’s side, Mr. Zhong Nan felt his heart pounding incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already esteemed Shen Han’s talent and potential quite highly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An eighteen-year-old Sixth Grade First Snow Realm talent, with good nurturing, would leave behind many Mountain Sea Academy students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the truth before him told him Shen Han was at the Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm, he had still underestimated Shen Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Zhong Nan stepped forward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to stop this match, realizing Shen Han’s potential was several times greater than imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jinyu’s strength was also not just that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they exerted their full power, it would be a huge pity if Shen Han suffered an incurable injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as his foot stepped out half a step, a figure descended from the Void Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave, the entire martial arena was isolated by a barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Nan looked at the newcomer, his face turning extremely grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Zuchen, Shen Ye’s mentor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are all Tianyi Academy people this unruly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is an invitational duel, as an outsider, just watch from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless you intend to go in and help that boy, bullying Jinyu alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Zuchen looked down on everyone, his gaze equally indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Nan’s face was grim, but he still spoke up, \"Luo Zuchen, this is Tianyi Academy, not your Mountain Sea Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you call the Dean of Tianyi Institute, I, Luo Zuchen, have something to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I dare to argue this logic with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, Luo Zuchen no longer bothered with Zhong Nan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Descending from the Void Heaven, he headed towards Shen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The initial indifference turned into a smile upon seeing Shen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Luo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Ye saluted Luo Zuchen, who waved smilingly, indicating he need not be formal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These people disregard rules, without my presence today, this duel would rarely be peaceful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Mr. Luo, Shen Ye thanks you on behalf of Jinyu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mentor and disciple spoke leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Nan’s face appeared extremely grim at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Luo Zuchen present, he truly couldn’t intervene, everything relied on Shen Han now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the martial arena, after two consecutive sword moves, yet no advantage was gained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Shen Han had the Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a deep concealment, Su Jinyu hadn’t known this before accepting the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slightly turning sideways, she exchanged a glance with Shen Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Su Jinyu no longer held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name of a genius wasn’t just about a few sword techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With thought, the long sword in her hand split instantly in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade divided from the middle side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword blade became as thin as a cicada’s wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding only one sword in hand, while the other was wielded by thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han remained poised, sword aloft in readiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The urgency of sword shadows, sound like rapid rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handling two swords separately, normally her swordsmanship should have declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in Su Jinyu’s hands, the sword’s might did not diminish, instead complementing each other, elevating significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1296,"2026-05-29T03:40:11.653Z","2026-06-01T04:29:06.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","874f9b5846858b59804fe490c6b20702b2e080665d40afdb87262abea2522c5a","engagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-chapter-178","engagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-chapter-176",546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fengagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-cover.jpg"]
