Shen Han knew very well that today’s assassination attempt would offer him only one chance to strike.
In the plan he had envisioned, the best outco was for Shen Ye to fall to his death with a single blow.
But he also knew it might not go so smoothly.
Shen Ye, being labeled a prodigy, surely had no shortage of protective treasures on him.
Even Shen Han himself wore the armor gifted to him by Shi Yuezhu.
This orange-inscribed armor could even allow him to escape death from a strike by Luo Zuchen.
Shen Ye, favored by the Shen Family, also held a high position at Mountain Sea Academy, with Luo Zuchen being so partial to him.
How could he be without protective treasures?
But from that sword just now, it was certain Shen Ye was injured.
Judging from the dical skills he learned from Little Pool Immortal, coughing blood, a pale complexion, and hindered movent,
It’s very likely the injuries had reached his tendons and bones.
Without lingering outside, Shen Han knew his attack on Shen Ye would soon reach the ears of Luo Zuchen.
He would probably beco enraged and want to destroy him.
But none of that mattered to him.
This wasn’t even his first ti being so enraged.
Returning to the academy, Shen Han went straight back to his room.
Calmly and quietly, he swallowed a pill to recuperate.
He was rely dealing with so shock, his energy and blood slightly surging.
At this mont, he just needed to patiently wait, to observe Shen Ye, the Shen Family, and Luo Zuchen’s reactions.
The stronger their reactions, the more he knew that his sword dealt a heavier blow to him.
On the journey.
Shortly after, Luo Zuchen received the news and arrived promptly.
Beside Shen Ye stood two students from the Mountain Sea Academy.
Passing by, they stopped to guard Shen Ye when they saw his injury.
When Luo Zuchen arrived, they paid their respects and left.
Shen Ye’s frail appearance directly infuriated Luo Zuchen, his fists clenched, with veins bulging, revealing a vicious look.
His eyes brimd with a murderous chill.
The intent to kill seed to have materialized, emanating a terrifying aura around him.
"Who attacked you, tell .
I want to hear which family or sect has the guts to dare to harm my student."
Luo Zuchen’s tone sounded calm, but by then, he was seething with rage.
Resting on the ground, Shen Ye’s face was unsightly.
After hesitating for a mont, he spoke up.
"It was Shen Han..."
"Who did he get to make a move?
Which expert in the Capital City dares to help him now?
Is it Dean Tianyi?"
Luo Zuchen furrowed his brows, speculating, yet felt it unlikely.
Dean Tianyi might dare to oppose him but wouldn’t dare against Shen Ye.
Otherwise, higher authorities would co after him.
"It shouldn’t be Dean Tianyi, Ye’Er, where exactly did he invite such a powerful figure from.
Daring to create trouble here."
If not having experienced it himself, Shen Ye actually wouldn’t believe, couldn’t believe Shen Han dared to attack him.
"It wasn’t anyone else; the one who attacked was Shen Han himself..."
Shen Ye spoke to Luo Zuchen with a slightly hushed voice.
Even he felt a bit embarrassed, having been hurt by Shen Han.
But this sentence left Luo Zuchen stunned for a good while.
"Shen Han himself, attacked you...?"
Shen Ye nodded awkwardly.
"Could it be his strength has increased? Has he reached the Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Ye shook his head.
"His techniques still possess the power of the Fifth Grade First Snow Realm, but he was lurking nearby for days and caught off guard in an ambush.
Though I sensed danger and responded.
Yet his sword, just like last ti, could easily sever my phenonon...
The protective phenonon shattered instantly, and I didn’t have the ti to execute other techniques..."
Hearing Shen Ye’s words, Luo Zuchen’s expression beca increasingly serious, his brows furrowed tightly: "How did his strength improve so quickly..."
Luo Zuchen’s deanor was sowhat unpleasant, Shen Ye now already in the Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm.
Yet Shen Han managed to injure Shen Ye with a Fifth Grade First Snow Realm strength.
What kind of heaven-defying fortune is upon Shen Han...
"Is the injury severe?"
After pondering a mont, Shen Ye shook his head.
"Not too bad, but it will take at least five months for full recovery...
Fortunately, it didn’t damage the foundation."
Hearing this, Luo Zuchen felt a bit reassured.
The recovery abilities of the master and disciple were different from ordinary people, as long as it didn’t damage the foundation, they would eventually recover.
"Then let’s return to the academy first.
Regarding Shen Han’s attack on you, I will make him pay the price."
Although he said this, on the way back, Luo Zuchen’s mind was sowhat chaotic.
When he first targeted Shen Han, he couldn’t perceive how powerful he was.
Compared to Shen Ye, there was supposed to be a big gap in strength.
But it had only been such a short ti, even less than a year.
Prior, Shen Han had exerted his full strength and only managed to defeat one of Shen Ye’s avatars.
Recently, his strength peaked, barely allowing him to escape from Shen Ye alive.
But now, in less than a month, he was able to ambush Shen Ye...
This ti, it was thanks to the protective treasure on Shen Ye.
Yet from the strong backlash’s effects, it showed how extraordinary that blow was.
Without the treasure’s protection, it might have been life-threatening!
This growth rate, even for Luo Zuchen, who was accustod to witnessing geniuses, there was still a trace of shock in his heart.
In Luo Zuchen’s eyes before, countless geniuses existed in the world, yet none could rival his disciple Shen Ye.
But now, his thoughts began to waver.
The underestimated Shen Han, indeed, beca quite formidable.
Back at Mountain Sea Academy, Luo Zuchen sought so pills for Shen Ye’s recovery.
After his battle with Shi Yuezhu, although he was unscathed, recovery ti was needed.
Even if they wanted to strike against Shen Han, they needed to wait until they were fully recovered.
The two sat in the courtyard.
Luo Zuchen, by now, still carried curiosity about how Shen Han managed to injure him.
Shen Ye began narrating the events of the ti.
Though both were Fifth Grade, the strength disparity between First Snow Realm and Half-Step Realm existed.
Furthermore, after Fifth Grade Body Refining, the practitioner’s bodily strength increased vastly.
Yet Shen Han’s sword still brought enormous pressure.
Just from this point, it appeared sowhat unusual.
"Ye’Er, what do you think of Shen Han’s strength?"
Hearing Luo Zuchen’s inquiry, Shen Ye promptly expressed his thoughts.
"During the academy’s grand competition, I faced him with an ink-brush avatar.
I could sense that at that ti, he was no match for .
If I had acted personally, perhaps in one move, I could have taken his life..."
Shen Ye paused, seeming to be pondering sothing.
"But during that Secret Realm assassination attempt, his strength seed to leap.
Especially my phenonon, under his long sword, felt as fragile as paper..."
Hearing this, even Luo Zuchen couldn’t help but knit his brows.
The phenonon summoned by the Scholar’s Technique, appearing as frail as paper, could be easily shattered by a single sword stroke.
Just hearing it was shocking.
