MMB Chapter 557 - 549: Do You Really Think Only the Shen Family Has Geniuses in Great Wei?
Chapter 557 - 549: Do You Really Think Only the Shen Family Has Geniuses in Great Wei?
It’s not easy to survive under the hands of someone from the Immortal Realm.
Today’s confrontation will likewise reveal Shen Han’s current state.
Time passed.
Amidst everyone’s anticipation, today’s other much-anticipated participant, Shen Ye, arrived.
Behind him followed an elderly woman.
Seeing this older woman, many people took a few steps back, showing respectful expressions.
Two years ago, during a confrontation with Shen Ye, Shen Han had also met her.
Luo Changping, Luo Zuchen’s aunt.
It was because of her presence that Luo Zuchen dared to act recklessly and cause trouble.
With Luo Zuchen’s terrifying regenerative abilities, every time he did something bad, he simply took the punishment.
As long as he kept a breath, he wouldn’t die.
He could even get stronger with each recovery.
As they walked into the Tianyi Academy, the Dean of the Academy became more serious.
When looking at Luo Changping, there was a trace of hatred in his eyes.
However, Luo Changping, on the other hand, wore a somewhat amiable expression.
She seemed to be presenting herself as a gentle elder.
Like everyone else, after entering the Martial Arts Arena of Tianyi Academy, their eyes searched for Shen Han.
Upon seeing Shen Han, Luo Changping couldn’t help but smile.
"Zuchen, this child, always says he’s serious.
Turns out, he couldn’t even handle a young junior.
He’s made himself look this passive. It’s quite embarrassing."
Luo Changping said softly, not fearing others hearing, speaking with much candor.
Shen Ye said nothing, just stood there coldly watching Shen Han.
After a while, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
The surrounding onlookers glanced between Shen Ye and Shen Han.
Such a fratricidal situation was entertaining for the spectators.
The time had reached 7:00 AM, the sun had risen, and the sky was bright.
As the host of this Academy Competition, the Dean of Tianyi Institute stood out to deliver the opening speech.
The Dean’s speech didn’t say anything particularly new or interesting.
Like others, it was filled with formalities.
People were almost tired of listening to such speeches.
But at the end, the Dean seemed to intentionally mention one thing.
Advising certain people not to cause trouble.
The words almost directly called out Luo Changping.
After the opening remarks, the competition began.
This year’s Academy Competition, everyone could see, was quite unfair.
In fact, attaining absolute fairness in such competitions is quite challenging.
Maintaining relative fairness is quite good, and participants accept it.
But Shen Ye’s interference barely allowed for even superficial fairness.
Many of the students participating in this year’s Academy Competition were already annoyed with Shen Ye.
Especially the new geniuses over the past two years, who couldn’t stand his use of privileges, modifying the competition’s contents at the last minute.
At 7:45 AM, the competition officially began.
Shen Ye walked into the Martial Arts Arena with a look of indifference.
His gaze was constantly fixed on Shen Han.
To be frank, he came today to avenge his broken leg.
"I have no interest in sparring with you and have no intention to fight you.
Last month, our Shen Family conducted internal assessments.
My cousin, Shen Han, gave a foolish excuse claiming to be injured and needing healing.
Yet today, he’s here participating in this Academy Competition."
As he spoke, Shen Ye took a step forward.
"Today, I am speaking plainly to everyone.
I am here solely for Shen Han.
Others, please have the sense not to interfere before I finish my fight with him.
After I’m done, I’ll spar properly with all of you.
If you’re inconsiderate, don’t blame me for being harsh."
Shen Ye’s tone was indifferent.
To these many young talents, what he said sounded like an order.
Two years have passed, and the new talents do not respect Shen Ye as much as before.
Especially since his leg had previously been broken and many looked down on him.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Ye finished speaking, a young person stepped forward.
The one who came forward was a student from Mountain Sea Academy.
"Senior, after two years of downfall, you emerge this year and speak to us, juniors, in this way.
Frankly speaking, I, Meng Yuzhong, find your words quite bothersome.
I’d really like to see what your so-called unkindness entails."
As he spoke, Meng Yuzhong made his move.
He wielded a long staff, and as he swung it, a fierce tiger seemed to leap forward.
Sixth Grade, Fruit Realm!
Seeing Meng Yuzhong attack, many were indeed surprised.
Are the young generation now all so formidable...
Since Shen Han emerged as a young genius, every other youngster seems more formidable...
The Divine Tiger Staff Technique was a specialty self-taught by Meng Yuzhong.
The techniques produced roaring sounds like a tiger’s roar; its power and might evoked the feeling of a fierce tiger.
Moreover, the tiger’s roar was not mere bluffing.
Its roar echoed into the mind, functioning as a Mind Attack technique.
Seeing this, those initially skeptical of Meng Yuzhong’s antics became more serious.
The pressure of the staff bore down on Shen Ye, countless eyes fixated on him.
Wondering about this former genius.
After his broken leg, what level has he reached upon his return?
In the next moment, Shen Ye didn’t even use a weapon.
With a sinking thought, an abnormal phenomenon blocked in front of him.
The staff technique and tiger’s roar became utterly ineffective.
This move was at least of Fifth Grade strength...
Displaying this move in front of everyone was enough to prove Shen Ye had truly returned.
Blocking Meng Yuzhong with one move, the next moment, a bizarre light screen enveloped him.
"Considering you’re a student of Mountain Sea Academy, I’ll spare some respect for the Academy this time.
Otherwise, you’d be resting for at least half a year."
With these words, Shen Ye waved his hand.
He directly threw Meng Yuzhong out.
Others hurriedly caught him, and at this moment, his face was pale.
He could feel that he was utterly powerless against Shen Ye, who could even kill him.
Others witnessing this scene also understood that the once prodigy Shen Ye had indeed returned.
Moreover, he was steadier and more worldly-wise than before.
If it were the old Shen Ye, Meng Yuzhong might have been left crippled.
The returning Shen Ye would surely forge further ahead.
"I don’t want to repeat myself. Once my grievance with him is resolved, the academy competition can proceed properly."
Shen Ye finished speaking and stood in the Martial Arts Arena.
If no one intervened, it would remain at a standstill like this.
Everyone’s eyes were on Shen Han, wanting to know if he would back down or step up.
The entire arena fell silent, with everyone waiting to see if Shen Han would enter the fight.
The lesson from Meng Yuzhong’s example was clear to all.
Shen Ye wasn’t someone to provoke lightly.
After all, he had once borne the title of a prodigy.
The silence didn’t last long, only a matter of a few breaths.
Shen Han was conversing with Dean Tianyi.
From the crowd, another person emerged.
She walked directly to Shen Ye, frowning with a look of disdain on her face.
"Sikong Miaomiao, the newly risen star of Jade Dragon Academy.
The Sikong Family hasn’t produced an outstanding descendant for several generations, but it’s said that Sikong Miaomiao possesses the prowess of her formidable ancestor."
Dean Tianyi leaned close to Shen Han, explaining in a soft voice.
To dare step into the arena under such circumstances indeed required boldness.
"Can’t you understand human speech?"
Shen Ye frowned deeply, staring at Sikong Miaomiao before him.
Yet the young daughter of the Sikong Family remained silent.
Her expression was indifferent, and she tightly gripped a Horse-Cutting Saber in her hand.
"If you insist on this, I won’t show mercy."
While speaking, a long sword appeared in Shen Ye’s hand.
Beside him, two illusory visions emerged.
The powerful pressure was enough to instill fear in many older practitioners.
After all, Shen Ye was exceptionally outstanding among his peers.
Few of the same age could match Shen Ye.
Among the younger generation, people of his caliber were even rarer.
The teachers of Jade Dragon Academy seemed to be urging her to withdraw as well.
Yet Sikong Miaomiao looked at Shen Ye with disgust in her eyes.
She glanced at Shen Ye before turning her head to look at Shen Han.
Then, she lifted the Horse-Cutting Saber in her hand.
Shen Ye shook his head slightly, seemingly pitying her.
He swung his long sword.
The two phantom visions beside him instantly lunged at Sikong Miaomiao.
Shen Ye’s reputation as a prodigy came without any prefix.
Because Shen Ye excelled in so many areas.
The illusory visions carried a sense of heaviness.
At the same time, in the void, a towering mountain vision appeared.
In comparison, Sikong Miaomiao seemed so small.
To the onlookers, this scene was enough to determine the outcome.
Suddenly, Sikong Miaomiao made her move.
The Horse-Cutting Saber, heavy as it was, appeared incredibly agile in her hands.
The saber blade sliced through the fearsome visions.
What should have been blocked by the visions was instead shattered by the saber.
The formidable saber momentum shattered even the mountain vision in the void.
Witnessing this, the crowd looked shocked.
But Shen Han understood.
This was the Power of Laws; Sikong Miaomiao before him had also grasped the mysteries of the laws.
Using the Power of Laws to counter the visions proved exceedingly effective.
At this moment, Shen Ye squinted slightly, appearing more serious.
He and his sword advanced toward Sikong Miaomiao.
If the visions were ineffective, he had other cultivation techniques.
Shen Ye held nothing back, wielding the full power of his Fifth Grade Fruit Realm.
What he thought would be easily resolved was far from simple.
Sikong Miaomiao’s strength far exceeded his expectations.
The majesty of her Horse-Cutting Saber was daunting.
The blades clashed.
The sword in Shen Ye’s hand was overwhelmed.
Even though Sikong Miaomiao’s saber had the strength of a Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm.
It pressed Shen Ye to the point of suffocation.
After an exchange, the two separated.
Now, Shen Ye’s brow was deeply furrowed.
Concentrating his mind, he abruptly elevated his power realm once more.
The Fourth Grade strength left everyone present in awe.
In their renewed clash, even though Shen Ye was already cautious.
His sword was still heavily suppressed by Sikong Miaomiao’s saber.
During the exchange, Shen Ye was almost completely enveloped by the saber, making escape difficult.
He was nearly injured by the majestic saber.
The confrontation between the two had reached a scene beyond everyone’s expectations.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ye was on the verge of defeat.
Panting heavily, Shen Ye retreated, while Sikong Miaomiao withdrew her saber and planted it in the arena.
With a "clang," the saber hilt created a hole in the arena.
"Today is a competition for the young disciples of Great Wei Academy.
This is the academy competition, a place for our young disciples to exchange moves and gain experience.
This isn’t a place for the Shen Family’s internal feud.
Do you really think that in Great Wei, only the Shen Family has geniuses?
Your arrogant manner disgusts me."
As she spoke, Sikong Miaomiao turned to Shen Han.
"Seeing that I helped you deal with him, you should feel relieved, right?"
Sikong Miaomiao looked at Shen Han, speaking coldly.
"From the first glance, I could tell what kind of trash you are.
Incompetent, unable to take even one move from me.
You’re even worse than your brother."
