Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 275 - 274: The Cyan Pool Overflows, Winds Arise Here
Tianyi Academy.
It has been more than two months since Shen Han went out for training.
Even Shen Ye and Luo Zuchen, who were confined, have already come out.
"That child Shen Han, I wonder if he’s encountered any danger..."
Zhong Nan was still a bit worried, after all, it had been a long time since there was any news from Shen Han.
Dean Tianyi frowned, but after some thought, he was still somewhat optimistic.
"There shouldn’t be any problem.
After all, Shi Yuezhu, the powerhouse at the Immortal Realm, went with him.
In exploring and training, anything can happen.
Sometimes, the more time-consuming the Secret Realm, the greater the rewards."
Dean Tianyi was quite open-minded, having trained for so many years, he had encountered Secret Realms that required a long time to explore.
The final rewards were indeed satisfying.
"In the Ten Nations Grand Competition, should we register Shen Han’s name?"
Upon hearing Zhong Nan’s words, Dean Tianyi hesitated for a moment, but then nodded.
"Register him first, if he hasn’t returned by then, I will explain."
There are still several months until the Ten Nations Grand Competition, so there’s no need to hurry.
For now, all we can do is patiently wait for Shen Han’s return.
...
It was still midsummer when they entered the Secret Realm.
Studying Little Pool Immortal’s medical book took over two months.
Summer had passed, and they entered autumn.
The scenery around the small courtyard had completely changed.
The lush greenery had turned into warm hues.
Sitting in front of the courtyard observing this scene, Shen Han felt a bit tranquil.
But Su Jinyu seemed somewhat melancholic.
These days, Su Jinyu had completely given up.
The so-called inheritance of Little Pool Immortal was clearly just a mockery...
She prided herself on being exceptionally talented, yet despite all her efforts, she couldn’t discern the meaning of the Clear Pool.
Not only did she fail to grasp its essence, but the key issue was that she hadn’t gained anything at all.
Su Jinyu no longer wanted to waste time and began practicing her own Sword Techniques.
Shi Yuezhu did not force her, after all, even as a mentor, she couldn’t discern any insights from it either.
After resting for two days, Shen Han brought a chair and sat by the Clear Pool.
His gaze gathered, he surveyed all the things in the Clear Pool thoroughly.
All the things in the pool were very ordinary and typical.
There was certainly no profound mystery hidden there.
In other words, Little Pool Immortal really wanted people to comprehend the essence, rather than hiding some Secret Treasure inside.
Having clarified this, Shen Han just sat in front of the Clear Pool.
Occasionally looking at the Clear Pool, occasionally looking into the distance.
Inadvertently, he would glance at Shi Yuezhu.
Sometimes, his gaze would meet Shi Yuezhu’s...
If it weren’t for Su Jinyu being around, it would really feel like the secluded life of two people.
During the breaks in cultivation, Su Jinyu quietly pulled Shi Yuezhu aside, commenting softly.
"Master, do you think someone can actually comprehend something from that Clear Pool..."
"Of course, could a First-Grade Powerhouse fool us like this?
If he wanted to torture us, there are many ways, he wouldn’t need to deceive us."
Shi Yuezhu was very certain, especially since Shen Han had already comprehended a medical technique, further proving its authenticity.
Upon hearing this, Su Jinyu turned her head to look at Shen Han.
"But I feel that the one who can comprehend these things definitely won’t be Shen Han...
Perhaps, Shen..."
Seeing Shi Yuezhu staring at her, Su Jinyu quickly fell silent.
"Shen Ye’s talent is remarkable, but it’s unnecessary to deny Shen Han’s potential because of that.
Besides, with Shen Ye’s character, the fact that you still can’t forget him just shows a bit of foolishness on your part..."
Su Jinyu didn’t reply, knowing Shen Ye’s ways, she wasn’t sure how to speak in Shen Ye’s defense.
Yet, when looking at Shen Han, her confidence was somewhat lacking.
Beside the Clear Pool.
Shen Han sat on the chair, gently rocking it.
There was even a semblance of leisure.
His mystical ability was of no help when it came to comprehending these things.
If Little Pool Immortal had left some Martial Arts Classics, or even carved words on stone.
With just a little effort, he should be able to comprehend them...
For now, the only thing to do was to calm his thoughts and focus on understanding.
To be honest, he always relied on his ability to extract terms.
The difficulties at present should be considered a true test for himself.
In the Clear Pool, a few water plants seemed to have grown lushly recently, extending beyond the water surface.
The dry yellow leaves overhead had begun to fall with the onset of autumn.
The dry leaves fell into the pool, creating ripples that spread outward.
Suddenly, the duckweed on the water lightly swayed.
It seemed a breeze had arisen.
With some thought, Shen Han gently extended a finger and tapped the surface of the pool.
Ripples spread across the water surface.
They hit the edge of the pool and bounced back.
As night fell, Shi Yuezhu, with a gentle smile, handed over a portion of food.
Shen Han accepted with a smile, neither speaking.
That night, Shen Han sat on the chair.
By daybreak, a good number of dried leaves had settled on him.
Su Jinyu, frowning, wanted to call Shen Han, but Shi Yuezhu held her back.
"Don’t disturb him...
A mind in emptiness, this is a rare state of understanding."
A gentle breeze brushed by on the edge of the Clear Pool, blowing a few dried leaves off Shen Han’s body.
Lowering his eyes to look at those fallen leaves, a smile appeared on his lips.
Shen Han stood up, walked outside the courtyard, and broke off a dry branch.
Holding the dry branch in his hand, he began to perform a Sword Technique with it.
The dry branch in his hand seemed like a long sword, and the Sword Technique seemed to be "Sunset Swordsmanship".
Seeing Shen Han stand up and practice his sword, Su Jinyu and Shi Yuezhu watched curiously from afar.
"So it’s the Sunset Swordsmanship...
Did Shen Han only comprehend the Sunset Swordsmanship from that Clear Pool..."
Su Jinyu pursed her lips: "I thought he had truly comprehended something..."
The Sunset Swordsmanship is the entry-level Sword Technique of Xiaoyao Peak.
This Sword Technique is actually quite difficult, but its difficulty lies in its corresponding Body Techniques.
In terms of just the Sword Technique, it’s quite basic.
If Shen Han had only comprehended the Sunset Swordsmanship, it would be as though he hadn’t comprehended anything at all...
Shi Yuezhu also frowned slightly but said no more, merely preventing Su Jinyu from disturbing Shen Han.
Beside the Clear Pool, Shen Han continued to swing the dry branch just as he did initially, slashing and swinging...
All night, the sound of Shen Han swinging the dry branch could be heard.
Little Pool Immortal, clearly already an Immortal stepping into the First-Grade Realm.
Yet, his title had always remained just Little Pool Immortal.
The Cyan Pool was overflowing, and a wind arose here.
Though just a small pool, it could still generate a rising wind.
The dry branch in his hand continued to swing, as if it had transformed into a sharp blade.
Amid the Heaven and Earth Laws, it seemed as though Sword Qi was reaching the clouds.
In the morning, Su Jinyu initially wanted to persuade Shen Han to stop.
Comprehending "Sunset Swordsmanship" from the Clear Pool seemed like being possessed.
But when she saw the Sword Technique in Shen Han’s hands, she was utterly stunned.
One Sword Qi after another was being released...
Little Pool Immortal had clearly changed the rules, this couldn’t happen in this world...
