Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 234 - 233: Competition Content

Zhong Nan’s evaluation of Shi Yuezhu is really high.

But Shen Han felt that what he said was absolutely right.

His first encounter with Shi Yuezhu was because of her kindness.

She truly is an incredibly wonderful woman.

"We all once speculated what kind of man could be worthy of such a transcendent woman like Peak Master Shi?

After waiting for more than a decade, we realized that no man is worthy of her.

This actually aligns more closely with what we initially thought—indeed, no one is worthy of her."

Upon hearing this from Mr. Zhong Nan, Shen Han nodded along.

That’s right, our woman is indeed so excellent~

He spoke to himself silently in his heart, feeling secretly proud.

"Many people think that when men see outstanding women, they’ll sidle up trying to earn even a smile from the Fairy.

But in reality, most men will first introspect, to see if they are worthy of others.

If feeling inadequate, they will honestly admire from afar.

Shen Han, you are young now and also quite excellent.

Don’t belittle yourself, be bold.

When you meet a woman you fancy, don’t be afraid, don’t worry about much, just pursue her first.

In fact, with your current talent and potential, you can be worthy of anyone."

Hearing this, Shen Han was very much tempted to ask if Shi Yuezhu could be worthy of him herself...

The words reached his lips, but he swallowed them back down.

...

In two days, there would be an academy competition.

Madam Shen from the Shen Family had also arrived in the Capital City.

The Shen Family now is considered a very powerful faction, naturally not lacking in wealth.

Madam Shen directly booked an entire inn for herself, along with accompanying maids and guards.

The reason she booked the entire inn, as she said, is because she likes peace and quiet.

This reason, honestly, is a bit...

If she really liked peace and quiet, logically, she should stay quietly in the Shen Mansion.

Half a day after settling in, Shen Ye and Shen Ao both came to pay their respects.

As for Shen Han, he did not receive this information.

In the inn, upon seeing Shen Ye and Shen Ao, Madam Shen from the Shen Family had a smile on her face.

She even waved to Shen Ao.

"Ao’Er, come over, let me see if you’ve grown taller~"

Even though Madam Shen from the Shen Family no longer manages family affairs, she still holds significant status in the Shen Family.

First, she has been with Shen Qingshan for many years, managing the family for many years.

Even if she did not accurately recognize Shen Han’s talents, she has contributed a lot.

Secondly, regardless of everything, the younger generations in the mansion are her descendants.

She gave birth to three sons.

Just based on this alone, even if she doesn’t manage the family, her words carry weight.

Shen Ao still leaned gently next to Madam Shen from the Shen Family, as he used to.

But his demeanor was quite different from before.

"Ao’Er, did something happen that you are in low spirits?"

In the past, in front of Madam Shen from the Shen Family, Shen Ao was quite talkative.

He wanted this and that, carefree, caring about nothing.

But now Shen Ao appeared somewhat reserved.

Hearing the Old Dowager’s question, Shen Ye stepped forward and answered.

"Old Dowager, since the family evaluation at the beginning of the year, Ao’Er has been feeling down.

I heard that during the evaluation, he lost to Shen Han, losing all his pride."

Madam Shen from the Shen Family frowned, she remembered that day’s competition.

To be precise, Shen Ao did not lose to Shen Han.

He lost all his confidence to even face Shen Han after Shen Han defeated Qianmu Fan.

"This can’t go on, being so downhearted, how can one practice?

Ye’Er, he is your own brother, you must help Ao’Er."

Shen Ye nodded his head: "Rest assured, Old Dowager, during this academy competition, I will do my best to challenge Shen Han.

Let Ao’Er see how easily he can be defeated, and hopefully regain some pride."

Madam Shen from the Shen Family nodded: "During this academy competition, you must perform well.

Whatever rewards you want, I’ll make sure you get them."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye and Shen Ao respectfully saluted.

The so-called "performing well," Shen Ye actually understood.

It meant to make Shen Han lose face thoroughly, to lose miserably.

Because of his matters, Madam Shen from the Shen Family had already been scolded several times.

...

This year’s competition is hosted by Mountain Sea Academy.

As the academy with the deepest roots in Great Wei, Mountain Sea Academy naturally arranged the venue very grandly.

Moreover, the rewards for the winners are extremely precious.

After all, in the eyes of Mountain Sea Academy, these rewards are merely transferring from one hand to the other.

There is one day left until the competition.

Only then did the other academies receive notice of the competition’s location.

The competition venue is not in the Capital City, but outside the city, about thirty miles to the east.

After confirming the location, the personally trained disciples immediately set off.

Reaching the venue, they’d have some time to familiarize themselves.

On the way, Dean Tianyi began to emphasize the key points of the competition.

The most important thing in the competition is not to overexert oneself.

If it’s difficult to persist, then give up immediately, and never injure yourself for one competition.

There are only a few personally trained disciples, and Dean Tianyi cherishes them greatly.

"Yu Jing, you will lead and command this competition, and how to arrange it is entirely up to you.

We have told you all the information we have obtained previously.

What reputation Tianyi Academy could gain, depends on how you take the lead."

Upon hearing Dean Tianyi’s words, Yu Jing solemnly nodded.

He then took over, starting to explain this academy competition.

Shen Han lifted his eyes to look at this fellow student, senior brother. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

In light blue sturdy attire, though not exactly handsome, his demeanor was quite noteworthy.

Confidence was evident in his eyebrows.

Presumably, the strongest among the personally trained students should be him.

Earlier, when Shi Yuezhu came to find himself, she also mentioned this Yu Jing.

Shen Han had some speculations about this as well.

Tianyi Academy has always been the weakest of the four academies in terms of strength.

Perhaps apart from this Yu Jing, although the other seven have the title of personally trained students,

their actual strength might not measure up to the students of the other academies.

Walking along, Yu Jing explained the content of the competition to everyone.

So far, they have only found out the content of the first round.

It is said that the test is to oppress all the participating students with pressure until a certain degree is reached.

Only those who can endure will proceed to the second round.

This rule sounds rather simple, indeed a test of basic competence.

Without enough foundational strength, one might not even get to the second round.

Currently, what Dean Tianyi worries most about is the fear that all of Tianyi Academy’s students might be eliminated in the first round.

At the very least, Yu Jing has to withstand it...

Once the carriage arrived, everyone saw the actual competition site.

It was completely different from what they had imagined.

The scenery before them was at the edge of an arched cliff.

Alongside the cliff was a rushing river.

The river water fell off the cliff, forming a waterfall that hung on the precipice.
