Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 335 - 334: The Spear Tip Slices Through, As If to Sever the Heavens
Since then, in the under-twenty age group, Yan and Qi each won a match.
In the third match, Yan’s Gong Ze faced off against Great Wei’s Lan Qingxue.
Just as Rong Shangping mentioned, the advantage of Yan lies in the improvement in their strength and realm, superior to the younger generation of other countries.
Now, even in cultivation technique strength, they have made a significant step forward.
The Yan Country is no longer the Yan Country of the past.
In this battle, Lan Qingxue did her best, but like Si Xiaofeng, she lost rather embarrassingly.
Facing Yan’s Gong Ze, she could hardly withstand three moves...
It was a one-sided crush, losing without any suspense.
Compared to Qi’s Sheng Fang, who did struggle a bit when defeated by Pei Sulan.
There was at least a glimmer of hope.
But for the younger generation of Great Wei, they are evidently far behind the other two countries...
In the first round of the competition, Yan had two people remain, Qi had one remaining.
The three competed, leaving two.
The final competition result left no suspense, two from Yan emerged victorious.
In the under-twenty age group, Great Wei did not win a single match, becoming the biggest loser.
Actually, this wasn’t a grave matter.
Victory and defeat are common occurrences.
The Ten Nations Grand Competition has been held many times, and Wei, Qi, and Yan have all suffered defeats; it’s quite normal.
But one thing is particularly worrying.
The two participants from Great Wei, Si Xiaofeng, and Lan Qingxue.
Both of them had some reputation in Great Wei.
They should be regarded as gifted talents among the younger generation.
However, when facing the geniuses of Yan and Qi, it felt like they had no chance to fight back at all...
At the age group under twenty, will it be the same for other age groups...
The people of Wei must have begun to worry.
At this moment, in the Capital City of Great Wei.
The bulletin in the bustling market recorded that Wei has already lost two rounds.
For the under-twenty age group, Great Wei’s young talents hadn’t won a single minor match.
Not to mention the citizens in the capital were angered just by witnessing this, even the officials writing the bulletin looked extremely displeased.
Facing off against the young talents from other countries, it’s not merely about winning resources.
There is also the face of Great Wei Country at stake.
Might the former strongest country fall to the bottom?
During the Ten Nations Grand Competition, many commoners with some spare money went to teahouses to listen to the live transmission of the competition.
When they heard that Si Xiaofeng and Lan Qingxue both lost in three movements, they became even angrier.
Quite a few tea patrons even slammed their cups on the spot out of anger.
After being persuaded by the teahouse owner, the patrons slightly calmed their emotions.
After all, it was only the first round, there were many matches ahead.
In the outskirts of the competition field in Ming City.
Shen Han quietly watched the continuation of the Ten Nations Grand Competition.
From the current situation, it seems Great Wei’s results in this year’s competition might be disastrous.
Great Wei was already lagging behind in nurturing the younger generation.
Meanwhile, in these four years, Yan and Qi seem to have made considerable progress.
Practitioners of Great Wei once had profound skills in cultivation techniques, overwhelmingly superior to Qi and Yan.
Compared at the same realm, practitioners of Great Wei were almost guaranteed to win.
Even now, those already famous and strong should still have an edge over Great Wei’s powerhouses.
However, among the younger generation, Great Wei is falling behind.
In the next forty or fifty years, when these young ones become the pillars of society.
The situation may not be a tripod of powerful nations anymore.
Then, it will only be the dual competition between Yan and Qi...
The competition continued in the age group under twenty-two.
For Great Wei, the final result was somewhat hard to accept.
Great Wei’s young talents, facing the younger generations from Yan and Qi, were not competitive at all.
Once again, losing both matches, they’ve already lost a third of their resources.
When Great Wei was defeated, Yan and Qi divided the victories, each winning a significant round.
Next up, those under twenty-four years old.
Previously, in front of Shen Han, Nanfeng Lin who pretended to be quite powerful, Zhu Mingxiang, was in this age group.
They were about the same age as Shen Ye.
Before the competition started, Nanfeng Lin from Qi even looked at Shen Han with some complacency.
Participants from Great Wei also possessed considerable capability.
They still lost in the end, but they can still put up a fight against Nanfeng Lin from Qi.
Unlike the previous ones, where there was a complete gap in strength, making it very difficult even to exchange blows.
Zhu Mingxiang from Yan also seemed eager to cross swords with practitioners from Wei.
Zhu Mingxiang, the same age as Shen Ye, but her strength had already entered the Fifth Grade Fruit Realm!
Practitioners from Yan indeed had a significant advantage in terms of realm strength.
The gap in just the realm itself is hard to bridge.
Not to mention Zhu Mingxiang’s current cultivation technique strength, which is already incomparable to the past.
The final result was almost without suspense.
Zhu Mingxiang, wielding a long spear, looked heroic.
As the spear tip swept across, it seemed to slice through the sky.
Just this move alone set the stage for victory.
On the second day of the Ten Nations Grand Competition, all matches concluded.
The results were laid bare before everyone.
The citizens from Yan and Qi who came to observe were generally indifferent.
But the people of Great Wei felt disappointment and sorrow... 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Out of six participants, not a single victory was secured in the Grand Competition.
The only slight consolation was the match against Nanfeng Lin, which did showcase slight glimpses of the young talent of Great Wei, managing to exchange a few moves.
The leading teacher for this trip was so disheartened by the result that he didn’t even want to speak.
After the match ended, the teachers even left early...
Shen Han had been frowning throughout; this year’s Ten Nations Grand Competition was indeed tough for Wei.
Just as he was about to leave, the Qi State’s Nanfeng Lin approached again, wearing an unruffled smile.
"In such a grand Wei Country, there is only this much strength, how pathetic, how lamentable...
Continue the infighting, continue suppressing Wei’s geniuses, and see how much longer your Wei Country can hold on.
Without Shen Ye this year, I hope you can win at least two matches."
Having said that, Nanfeng Lin prepared to leave.
Just as he took his leave, Zhu Mingxiang then walked over.
She still bore an indifferent expression, her gaze fell upon Shen Han.
"Shen Ye is your elder brother; pass a message to him.
After the summer solstice, ask him to come to Ming City.
Just say Zhu Mingxiang invites him for a duel."
Her words even carried a hint of command.
Shen Han didn’t even want to acknowledge her, stood up, and headed towards his dwelling.
In the night, Deputy Dean Rong Shangping urgently sought out Shen Han.
He said that the capital is currently in an uproar.
In today’s Ten Nations Grand Competition, the young generation from Wei went out six times, twelve matches, and didn’t win once.
The citizens of the capital simply couldn’t accept it; many teahouse stalls were turned over by people.
If that were all, it might still be bearable.
Besides blaming the participants of the competition, the people seemed unable to find anyone else to blame.
They even pointed the finger at Shen Han.
Stating that Shen Han is an ominous sign, adversely affecting...
Moreover, such a claim is spreading wildly.
Dean Tianyi asked that after the competition ends, Shen Han should remain for a bit more time before returning...
