Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 240 - 239: Your Chances of Winning Are Too Low, and There’s Also a Risk of Injury
The Hongtai Academy, participating in the Academy tournament for the first time, could only be described as having ordinary abilities.
However, their leader, Yu Shaoqing, indeed had some skills.
Each punch imbued with his Fist Force seemed to carry a devouring pressure.
Shen Han had seen practitioners of the Fist Force when he was in Yexuan Country.
That person was a student of the Mountain Sea Academy.
From what he observed now, Yu Shaoqing’s Fist Force appeared to be even more fierce.
That Hongtai Academy let him lead the way was naturally a recognition of his strength.
On the other side, Shen Han had already defeated his opponent.
Similar to Tianyi Academy, Hongtai Academy also had serious gaps within their personally taught disciples.
The gap in strength between Yu Shaoqing and his fellow classmate was quite significant.
On the competition field, Yu Jing was slightly out of breath as he faced Yu Shaoqing.
With the Body Technique, he stepped on the single log, rushing towards Yu Shaoqing in an instant.
The Chain Blade raised a splash of water, its blade wind mingling with splashes, intertwining as they attacked Yu Shaoqing.
The power of the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm was unleashed, seeming to draw even the white sails raised by the surrounding waterfall.
The spectators all watched this scene with utmost seriousness.
This exchange was indeed much more fascinating than the bouts of the first and second rounds.
No one dared to blink, unwilling to miss the slightest detail of the exchange.
Even though Yu Jing had put away his underestimation, he still found it difficult to gain the upper hand.
Yu Shaoqing’s counterattacks with his fists nearly caught Yu Jing off guard.
He, Yu Jing, ended up on the back foot!
Many people around them watched this scene with mocking smiles.
"During the four-academy competition, ranked fourth.
In the five-academy competition, ranked fifth~
If another academy joins the competition next year, Tianyi Academy will probably rank sixth~"
"My friend, there is truth in what you say, there is truth in what you say, hahaha~"
In the crowd, mocking and sarcastic remarks were endless.
On the side of Tianyi Academy, everyone’s faces looked quite unpleasant.
Even Dean Tianyi kept his brows tightly furrowed, seemingly having added two more wrinkles.
Tianyi Academy is really going to lose to Hongtai...
In front of the waterfall, Yu Jing took a few heavy breaths, his grip on the Chain Blade tightened even more.
What he thought Hongtai Academy was, was merely his assumption.
If they could participate in this academy competition, naturally, they had their exceptional points.
Yu Shaoqing stood oppositely, appearing calm compared to the panting Yu Jing.
His facial expression was just as it was at the beginning, without any words of ridicule or mockery.
But the feeling he gave was more like looking down on Yu Jing...
Yu Jing’s gaze became more serious, and with this strike, he gave it his all.
The Chain Blade in his hand rose.
The hidden crescent moon appeared, the sharp blade slaughtering the lone wolf.
The technique Yu Jing practiced with the Chain Blade was about attacking from concealment.
His moves, each and every one, came from hidden places.
Such a Technique was not that powerful in the competition, but in a real surprise attack, that would be Yu Jing’s greatest advantage.
But now, there was no other way, he had to give it all he had.
Watching the sharp blade coming, Yu Shaoqing was unhurried, his Tiger Finger actively approached, grabbing the Chain Blade.
Seeing this, Yu Jing faintly smiled at the corner of his mouth.
But little did he know, the Chain Blade he wielded from behind in a surprise attack was also stepped on by Yu Shaoqing.
Yu Jing’s hands could hardly move the Chain Blade in his hands...
Despair spread across his entire face.
At this moment, Yu Jing had lost any will to struggle, confidence shattered, there was nothing left to compare.
The Tiger Finger was pointed at Yu Jing’s face, this match.
Thus ended.
Contrary to everyone’s initial expectations.
It was initially thought that Hongtai Academy would be incapable of defeating Tianyi Academy upon joining for the first time.
In the Capital City, Yu Jing was still somewhat famous.
If it weren’t for seeking better resources at Tianyi Academy, he would have qualified to go to Mountain Sea Academy.
But now, it seems, others at Hongtai Academy also have top-notch students, not inferior to Yu Jing.
Tianyi Academy and Hongtai Academy each had one win and one loss.
But the remaining student from Hongtai Academy was their academy’s strongest, Yu Shaoqing, with the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm strength.
Whereas on the side of Tianyi Academy, the remaining student was Shen Han.
Though Shen Han was known as a prodigy, he was ultimately younger by several years.
If they were the same age, everyone might believe Shen Han would win.
But now, Shen Han only had the Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm strength, how could he compare with Yu Shaoqing...
Back at Tianyi Academy, Yu Jing looked downcast and dejected.
Unconsciously, he even had a slight grudge in his heart against Tianyi Academy.
Yu Jing felt, if he hadn’t chosen Tianyi Academy for the resources back then.
And had gone to Mountain Sea Academy, at this point, he would surely surpass Yu Shaoqing with just a few moves...
"Don’t be disheartened, victory and defeat are common in life, a lost match doesn’t mean anything."
Dean Tianyi gently patted Yu Jing’s shoulder, offering kind words of comfort.
Yu Jing did not immediately reply, contemplating for a while before speaking suddenly.
"Dean, I want to go to Mountain Sea Academy to broaden my horizons..."
Personally taught students are nurtured with academy resources and cannot leave easily.
Leaving must have the academy’s consent.
Upon first hearing this, Dean Tianyi didn’t immediately grasp what it meant to broaden horizons.
Upon understanding, his old face, already full of wrinkles, turned extremely unsightly.
After a while, he coldly replied, "Do as you wish."
In this competition, Tianyi Academy found themselves caught in a bind.
Not far away, Luo Zuchen was full of smiles, delighted to see Tianyi Academy perform so poorly.
"Dean Tianyi, in Luo’s opinion, you might as well disband Tianyi Academy sooner.
It’s truly a waste to have good seedlings there.
If another academy joins next year, you’ll be ranked sixth~"
Faced with Luo Zuchen’s mockery, Dean Tianyi didn’t turn back, just led the crowd back to the tent.
There was still one more match, but in the eyes of these personally taught students, the competition was already over.
"This result is not your fault.
We can only blame this old man as the dean for not gathering enough information about the opponents.
Facing unknown opponents is indeed more challenging.
Since the defeat has been set, then tidy up your temperament, and transform the unwillingness and discontent into motivation for practice.
Next year, we will come again."
In terms of embarrassment, Dean Tianyi was the most embarrassed.
But he still had to endure it and encouraged the students.
"Let’s go..."
Upon hearing the dean’s words, Shen Han took a step forward somewhat helplessly.
"Dean, I haven’t lost yet..."
Shen Han suddenly spoke up, causing Dean Tianyi to pause for a moment, a hint of relief appearing on his originally dejected face.
"This old man knows you haven’t lost, but Yu Shaoqing is of the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm, a full minor realm higher than you.
The odds of you winning are too low, and there’s an added risk of injury, it’s not worth it.
Tianyi Academy can afford to lose."
