There were still so hours before the competition began. Shen Han and the vice dean, along with others, were standing calmly at the edge.
Patiently waiting for the competition to begin.
anwhile, those young talents from Qi and Yan seed to have heard sothing and walked toward Shen Han.
One of the won stepped a bit further in front of Shen Han.
She was dressed neatly, which suggested she practiced the Martial Arts Technique.
The woman’s expression was cold, and her gaze at Shen Han carried an involuntary tinge of disdain.
"Are you Shen Han?"
Her words were devoid of any courtesy.
Shen Han frowned slightly, glanced up briefly, but did not respond.
"I heard that you ambushed your elder brother with hidden weapons, making it difficult for him to participate in the grand competition. Is this true?"
There was a slightly interrogative tone in the woman’s speech.
Before Shen Han could respond, the vice dean interjected.
"Before questioning others, it’s best to declare your own na.
In your previous words, it seems you were referring to Shen Ye?
He and his master have been arrogant in Great Wei, offending countless people.
Being assassinated is quite normal for them."
Vice Dean Rong Shangping coldly replied.
This woman was not from Great Wei, and they most likely wouldn’t have much interaction in the future.
Rong Shangping naturally wasn’t courteous in his speech.
Hearing this, the woman straightened slightly.
"Yan Country, Zhu Mingxiang, at your service.
Are you Shen Ye’s cousin?"
Shen Han remained unaffected, and upon hearing her words, he replied simply, "I am Shen Han."
Upon hearing Shen Han’s reply, the woman asked again.
"Did Shen Ye’s injury occur because you ambushed your elder brother with hidden weapons, making it difficult for him to participate in the Ten Nations Grand Competition?"
She repeated the question, but the interrogative tone remained.
Shen Han slightly raised his head, looking at Zhu Mingxiang before him.
"I, Shen Han, did not ambush him with hidden weapons. Elder brother Shen Ye’s injury was because he and that master of his behaved improperly, provoking resentnt and retaliation from others."
Zhu Mingxiang seed not to listen to Shen Han’s explanation and continued speaking to herself.
"Four years ago, he defeated .
Only then did I realize that there truly was soone both scholarly and martial in the world.
Moreover, he could seamlessly integrate a scholar’s skill with Martial Path.
These past four years of practice, I’ve awaited this mont countless tis, wanting him to see my achievents over these four years.
It turns out he was trapped by a treacherous person..."
Zhu Mingxiang seed to lant, lanting for Shen Ye.
Having said that, Zhu Mingxiang turned to leave.
Before leaving, she threw out one last sentence: "Wei Country, unable to protect its own national talents, no wonder its national power is gradually declining. The Ten Nations Grand Competition, just wait to lose."
Her tone was extrely indifferent, as if her words were a final judgnt.
After she turned and left, a man behind her, as if lining up, stepped forward.
"Qi Country, Nanfeng Lin, would also like to have a word with you."
The man held a long saber in one hand, with a slightly carefree air.
"Four years ago, Shen Ye’s combination of academic and martial skills indeed made suffer a bit.
Your Wei Country, four years ago, mostly relied on him to save so face.
Now, in the Ten Nations Grand Competition, soone actually injured him.
I suppose your Wei Country has too many resources and just needs to give so away, right?"
Nanfeng Lin spoke with a slight condescending tone.
As if he were superior.
Beside him, Vice Dean Rong Shangping had long been unable to keep quiet.
"Our Great Wei’s affairs, what do they have to do with you, a person from Qi Country?
Do you need to co here and assert yourself?
What, are you exceedingly talented?"
Hearing this, Nanfeng Lin was not angry at all.
He still wore a slight smile.
"My abilities, Nanfeng Lin, are not great, but defeating all of you from Wei Country should be no problem at all.
I originally thought Shen Ye would co; it would have been interesting.
Unexpectedly, he wasn’t taken down by us from Qi or them from Yan.
Rather, your own people from Wei used so tricks to bring him down~
Speaking of which, people from other countries seed to appreciate Shen Ye.
Yet you yourselves employ all kinds of sches towards your own country’s talents.
Hahahaha, keep up the infighting; the worse Wei Country is, the happier I beco~"
Nanfeng Lin spoke with satisfaction.
Not having fought, he personally believed he had so mutual respect with Shen Ye.
These words of his were to stand up for Shen Ye.
Both Nanfeng Lin and Zhu Mingxiang spoke loud enough for many nearby to hear clearly.
And so curious people even spread these words back to Great Wei, back to the Capital City.
For a while, various rumors were rampant.
Talents prized by people from other countries, yet overlooked by their own.
These emotionally stirring statents began spreading wildly in Great Wei.
Beside him, Rong Shangping softly comforted Shen Han, advising him not to pay too much heed.
Shen Han nodded; he was not really concerned.
Careless about what they were saying.
Shen Han did not dwell on the recent episode.
But the matter had already spread in the Capital City.
Many people even said this was the "inauspicious" proof of Shen Han.
The Shen Family in Yun’an City seized the golden opportunity to sar Shen Han relentlessly.
Throwing various criticisms and disparagents on Shen Han.
Spring had already co; surrounding plants had sprouted, and distant mountains were lush and full of life.
The red sun had already risen on the horizon.
7:00 AM had arrived, and the Ten Nations Grand Competition had officially started.
The struggles among the seven small countries were left to them, while others ca to witness the clashes between Wei, Qi, and Yan.
Each age group from each country had two participants.
Between the three countries, there were a total of six participants.
Forming exactly three pairs for the competition.
The matchups would be determined by a best-of-three format to decide the final victory.
Each lost match results in losing one-twelfth of the resources.
The winners of the three pairs would then have another mixed competition.
Ultimately, only two would remain.
Of course, these two could be from different countries.
This ti, the winner does not entail winning or losing resources.
But can step up to challenge the older age group; even if defeated, no resources are lost.
Back then, Shen Ye, even in the older age group, erged victorious, gaining such fa.
anwhile, the first one from Great Wei to make a move was that disciple of the Qilian Sect, Si Xiaofeng.
He moved with a stride, channeling his energy, sowhat resembling a high-level master.
Opposite him was Peng Nannan from Qi Country.
It seems those who practice the Saber Technique are more carefree.
Peng Nannan walked casually into the competition arena with a long saber.
