Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 413 - 411: Outer Sect Promotion to Inner Sect

Chapter 413: Chapter 411: Outer Sect Promotion to Inner Sect

Returning to his residence, now, Chuixue Mansion would no longer assign him miscellaneous tasks.

This sect contribution, if one wants to earn it, it seems it will take quite a bit of effort.

If it’s too difficult, I might have to start planning how to leave Cangxuan Valley.

Thinking of this, Shen Han took out the Sound Transmission Jade from the Storage Ring and sent a message to Yan Yun.

There might be people from the Zheng Family who could pose a threat to Jiuxiao Country.

Items and belongings can be abandoned, but you must find a way to stay alive and start planning an escape route early on.

On the other end of the Sound Transmission Jade, Yan Yun wanted to say something more, but Shen Han found an excuse not to continue the conversation.

If I stay for another month and still can’t find a suitable way out, then I’ll leave.

...

To Zheng Changnian and his cohorts, oppressing Shen Han was a casual act, as if it were a playful gesture.

Usually, he didn’t really focus on Shen Han’s affairs.

Occasionally, dispatches would come to report on Shen Han’s recent situation.

Almost ten days in, despite no longer having miscellaneous tasks, Shen Han did not seem too anxious.

He remained indoors without stepping out.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Changnian found it somewhat less entertaining.

He wanted to see Shen Han come begging for mercy, humbly serving like a dog.

To tell Ying Jiu, and that elder brother of his.

What it means for actions to teach people growth, for Shen Han to go from rebellious to servile, was considered growth.

If Shen Han never left his house, then it wouldn’t be fun at all.

Daily cultivation, in fact, could be a bit dull.

During this time, Zheng Changnian treated Shen Han as a tool for amusement.

After all, in the entire Cangxuan Valley, no one dared to speak or confront him in such a manner.

Instead, he found it somewhat interesting.

But if Shen Han kept hiding and shutting himself in, it truly became uninteresting.

With this thought, Zheng Changnian slowly stood up, looking at the person who had arrived.

"By the way, isn’t there an Outer Sect disciple promotion trial coming up?"

The person in front of him heard Zheng Changnian’s question and replied with a lowered head: "At the end of this month, is Senior Brother Changnian suggesting using this promotion trial to toy with Shen Han?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Changnian casually handed out some rewards to the person.

"At the beginning of next month, I should also go into seclusion for a month or two, so I won’t have the time to play around with him.

If he participates in this promotion trial, then go and mock him once more.

If he stays hidden and doesn’t come out, ask Mansion Master Xie to expel him from the mansion.

Then you can ask my brother and Junior Sister Ying Jiu what they think.

If they’re indifferent, find some people, break his arms and legs, and cripple his cultivation."

Zheng Changnian spoke casually, like he was handing down a sentence.

A person must have value.

Shen Han’s previous rebelliousness and refusal to heed advice.

In Zheng Changnian’s view, Shen Han’s kind of temperament actually brought him some amusement.

But if Shen Han continued to hide in his room, that would be utterly meaningless.

Providing amusement to these higher-ups is also a form of value.

If even that bit of value was gone, in their eyes, Shen Han should just perish.

More than half a month of dedicated cultivation, Shen Han had become increasingly proficient in controlling his Divine Soul.

Now, he could control four Divine Souls simultaneously.

In the realm of consciousness, Shen Han attempted to spar with his Divine Souls.

The four Divine Souls could even engage each other at his will.

But this sparring was of little significance.

It felt like his left hand and right hand were playing rock-paper-scissors.

Whether the left hand won or the right hand won was entirely up to his whim, a bit dull.

In terms of control, he had improved a lot.

Now it seemed, first to continue nurturing the Divine Soul, enhancing the strength of his Divine Soul.

Second, is to find ways to enhance his soul power.

During sparring, soul power was the foundation.

Otherwise, if the Divine Soul gets injured, insufficient soul power makes it impossible to repair.

The reserve of soul power is also an important criterion for assessing a person’s Divine Soul strength.

At noon, there was a knock on the door of Shen Han’s room.

Opening the door, a stranger threw a letter and, without turning his head, went on to find the next person.

Upon meeting another person, he also tossed a letter.

He seemed to be the one distributing them.

Returning to his room, Shen Han unfolded the letter.

It was about the Outer Sect disciples’ promotion to Inner Sect trial happening at the end of the month.

The letter detailed the rules of the trial, as well as the rewards that could be earned by participating.

The promotion of Outer Sect disciples to the Inner Sect was a matter for the entire Cangxuan Valley, not held by any particular mansion alone.

During the promotions, there would be many rounds of combat.

All the Mansion Masters of Cangxuan Valley would come to observe the trials.

Through observing the combat in the trial, the Mansion Masters determine whether to incorporate this disciple into the Inner Sect.

Like Shen Han now, he is an Outer Sect disciple of Chuixue Mansion.

During the trial, Mansion Master of Chuixue Mansion would choose first.

If he’s not interested, the other Mansion Masters would then make their choice.

This Outer Sect disciple promotion trial is held every half a year.

Usually, two or three people manage to leap like koi fish, achieving great success.

But, sometimes, none of the Outer Sect disciples are chosen.

However, those who participate in the trial still receive some rewards, some sect contributions.

Shen Han looked at it; for him, this was a rare opportunity to earn some sect contributions.

In the time before the promotion trial, Shen Han continued nurturing his Divine Soul, cultivating in the realm of consciousness. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Occasionally, he would step out of his room to get some fresh air.

The Outer Sect disciples who were usually busy with miscellaneous tasks had recently started cramming on their cultivation.

Many were sparring two by two outside the courtyard.

The Outer Sect disciples who had been here a little longer had mostly nurtured their Divine Souls.

Shen Han found a higher spot, watching leisurely as the Outer Sect disciples of Chuixue Mansion sparred.

In the Divine Land, the strength of the Divine Soul was a common understanding for all.

But Shen Han observed, these people were not solely cultivating the Divine Soul.

The Outer Sect disciples who made their moves appeared to be aged around twenty-seven to thirty.

Their strength mostly ranged from the Sixth Grade First Snow Realm to the Peak of Grade Seven.

However, with the enhancement of the Divine Soul, although not as formidable as the geniuses of Great Wei, they were considered decent.

Of course, these disciples who made their moves did not represent the true level of the Outer Sect disciples.

Those willing to step out and spar were the ones preparing to attend the promotion trial.

Their basic strength was among the best of the Outer Sect disciples.

Shen Han had also been feeling a bit bored with rest lately and watched for several two-hour periods.

Their Divine Souls had various abilities; some had armor attached to their Divine Souls.

Some could transform their Divine Souls into a snake, agile and cunning.

Seeing these, Shen Han understood even more that the upper limit of Divine Soul enhancement was extremely high.

He still needed to obtain some literature on enhancing the Divine Soul.

At the same time, Shen Han also gained more insight into those stronger individuals.

The Divine Soul Techniques, like the cultivation techniques of Great Wei, were varied and strange.

In case deep enmities arise and blades must be crossed, he needs to be more cautious.
