Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 336 - 335: Pent-Up Frustration Always Seeks an Outlet
The feeling of resentment in the heart always needs a place to be vented.
Besides reprimanding the contestants, Shen Han, who was already labeled as "inauspicious," was just the right person to take the blame.
After the vice dean finished speaking with Shen Han about everything, he no longer disturbed him.
In the guest room, Shen Han leaned alone on a chair.
Perhaps if someone else encountered such a situation, they would have already been in panic and wouldn’t know how to face it.
But witnessing these events, Shen Han already had some thoughts in his heart.
The things he encountered were somewhat strange.
Shen Han didn’t discuss these with anyone, only noted everything in his heart.
...
Within the Imperial Palace of Great Wei.
Qianying Hall was somewhat messy.
On the ground, many broken porcelain pieces were scattered.
The Great Wei Emperor also knew that in recent years, the national strength of Great Wei was on the decline.
The most prominent manifestation was the lack of successors among the younger generation.
The geniuses of Great Wei, who once crushed the Yan and Qi countries, had now lost such dominance.
As Yan and Qi countries’ strength increased, Great Wei not only didn’t advance but regressed instead...
After releasing the anger in his heart, the Great Wei Emperor was still sullen.
He walked to the back garden, and while pondering, he again summoned Prince Qingyuan to come.
Seeing his seventeenth brother, he waved his hand to dismiss the attendants.
"I deeply understand that in this Ten Nations Grand Competition, the situation for the younger generation of Great Wei may not be very good, likely unable to win many victories and falling behind.
But I never thought the result would be like this!
Six participated, and not a single one won!"
While speaking, a surge of anger rose again in the Great Wei Emperor’s heart.
Prince Qingyuan, standing before him, quickly offered soft consolations, calming him down after a while.
"Seventeenth brother, are you sure Shen Han possesses such strength?
Judging from the second day’s results of this Ten Nations Grand Competition, the young talents from Yan and Qi countries exceeded our expectations significantly.
Many couldn’t even withstand a single move of Qi Country Saber Technique."
The Great Wei Emperor spoke with some seriousness; if Shen Han’s strength was insufficient, then this plan would have been entirely in vain.
Upon hearing this, Prince Qingyuan slightly bowed: "Rest assured, elder brother, Shen Han is now in the Fifth Grade First Snow Realm.
In the age group of nineteen, Yan Country’s geniuses are merely at the same level.
Previously, in the academy’s grand competition, he performed very well against Shen Ye’s avatar and in his confrontation with Su Jinyu.
Tianyi Academy also holds very high evaluations of him."
After listening to Prince Qingyuan’s words, the Great Wei Emperor felt a bit more relieved.
"It’s good that you are aware, seventeenth brother, if this plan encounters issues.
In the future, trying to take action might not be as easy as this.
Old Mr. Chu has not yet come to his senses and believes everything is under his control.
But it won’t be long before he realizes.
Try your best to resolve this, lest he makes preparations to cause havoc with me later on.
Leading to a complete breakdown, destabilizing the court."
Prince Qingyuan nodded: "I understand, wait for tomorrow, and it will become clear."
A night passed.
Shen Han and the vice dean arrived early again at the competition venue.
The total defeat yesterday left those from Great Wei who came to participate in the competition with very unpleasant expressions.
Even among their companions, some irrationally believed that the reason for the loss was Shen Han.
Just because Shen Han, this "inauspicious" disaster, was with them, it ended this way...
A small segment of thoughtless people even looked at Shen Han with hostility.
The reason for the loss in the Ten Nations Grand Competition was baselessly pinned on Shen Han...
On the third day of the competition, more people came to Ming City to watch the event live.
Especially commoners from Qi and Yan countries.
Families with even the slightest means wanted to come and see.
To see how their country’s geniuses would overpower opponents to win national honor.
While the number of people from Wei Country was significantly less.
Not only were there fewer Wei people at the competition site, but even in the Capital City of Great Wei, things were very different from yesterday.
Many teahouses had no customers.
Expensively hiring people to report the actual competition scenes.
At this moment, it instead became a burden...
A lot of Great Wei citizens, upon hearing the term Ten Nations Grand Competition, felt annoyed.
In the bustling city, announcements recording the results of the competition were even torn down by angry people.
Losing so miserably did indeed make all Great Wei citizens lose face together.
Ming City, at the competition venue.
At 7:00 AM, the third day of the competition finally arrived.
The results of yesterday made the young generation of Qi and Yan countries even more confident.
The first match today was already for those under twenty-six.
The competition began.
Compared to yesterday, Great Wei’s slightly older talents had a lesser gap in strength compared to the young geniuses of Qi and Yan.
It was almost evenly matched.
It was evident that the younger the generation, the more the geniuses of Wei Country lagged behind.
After more than two hours,
In the end, in the group under twenty-six, both participants from Great Wei still lost.
The loss was not as bad-looking, but it was still a loss...
Shen Han could see that the biggest gap with Qi Country was still under the pressure of the Power of Laws.
The young generation of Great Wei mostly had the same strength realm as Qi Country’s young talents.
With the same strength realm, the saber technique combined with the Power of Laws, how could the young talents of Great Wei withstand it?
Those Great Wei citizens who came to watch the competition today around the venue just felt like their minds were playing tricks on them.
Dare to not believe ill fate, thinking Great Wei would make a change today...
Eight participated, not a single victory.
There were only twelve participants in the entire Ten Nations Grand Competition.
The first eight didn’t win a single victory, who could still hold hope?
If the final twelve do not win a single match, then it might indeed create history.
However, this history is one that enrages Great Wei citizens.
The Ten Nations Grand Competition continued.
Shen Han turned his head to look at those young Wei participants.
It seemed even the pride in their hearts was completely extinguished.
In Great Wei, they had been praised and admired as geniuses, now like this.
They even began to doubt themselves...
In the age group below twenty-eight, the performance of the young generation of Great Wei this time was slightly better.
With a best two-out-of-three system, they already won a small match.
It raised morale slightly, but in the end, both of them still lost.
The resources brought by more than ten carts had almost seventy percent given away...
After noon.
The age group below thirty began the competition.
This was Great Wei’s last hope, the last chance.
The gentlemen leading the Ten Nations Grand Competition no longer hoped for any great achievements.
Their only wish was for these two young people to bring Great Wei at least one victory.
Not to have a single victory in the Ten Nations Grand Competition.
They really couldn’t endure such a blow, not wanting to be nailed to the pillar of shame...
