The performance of the Great Wei's geniuses left the people of Yexuan Country in despair.

There was no sign of a winning trend...

Especially Song Ruicheng, who was so praised in Yexuan Country, lost so quickly.

But Ji Zhi faintly discovered something good.

The more impressive the geniuses of Great Wei perform, yet ultimately losing to Song Ruizhe, losing to her own child.

This Ruizhe will inevitably attract the attention of the entire nation.

Of course, wanting to surpass him with sheer strength is difficult.

But if a little trick is added, it might become simple.

This breakthrough point naturally lies with Shen Han.

Without hesitation, Ji Zhi immediately stepped out of the crowd, found paper and pen, and wrote a handwritten letter.

She then instructed her maid to quickly deliver the letter to Shen Han.

And to tell Shen Han, this is a letter from her.

The exchange held by Yexuan Country wasn't too strictly managed, and the maid easily reached Shen Han with the letter.

Delivered the letter.

Unfolding it, from the first sentence written, Shen Han already guessed it was written by his biological mother.

[Parents' commands must be followed, this is the basis of being human, filial piety should come first...]

Who knows where his biological mother saw these ancient sayings, the letter started by pressing him with filial obedience.

But how can there be any talk of filial piety between him and her?

Leaving the Shen Family seventeen years ago, she had no nurturing grace towards him at all.

When ancient sages wrote these words, they probably didn't anticipate a mother like this.

Not caring for her children when they were young, and instead wanting to take advantage once they grew up.

Still borrowing the admonitions they wrote as an excuse.

As he read further, Ji Zhi's threats became more apparent in the letter.

The text stated that Great Wei places the utmost importance on loyalty and filial piety.

If Shen Han doesn't listen to her and doesn't help Song Ruizhe to stand out, she would go to Great Wei and scold Shen Han for being unfilial.

Just as Shen Han's fame is at its peak, such a scolding would let all of Great Wei know.

The threat was laid bare, nakedly displayed before Shen Han.

This biological mother of his once thought he was coming to rely on her.

She arranged guards to drive him away.

Now seeing that he holds some status and power, she wishes to threaten him with filial duties.

This disgusting behavior, Shen Han even felt she was unworthy of being human.

He looked towards where Ji Zhi was seated, his gaze carrying a few degrees of coldness.

Shen Han had rarely looked at anyone with such a gaze for a long time.

At this moment, Ji Zhi was eagerly seeking out Song Ruizhe.

Telling him to definitely challenge Shen Han.

Even if others approach first, they should be refused, he can only spar with Shen Han.

As long as he engages, he will inevitably win.

Hearing these words from his mother, Song Ruizhe was skeptical.

He had also heard from those around that Shen Han was the strongest among this group of people from Great Wei.

To challenge Shen Han...

After hesitating for a moment, seeing his mother still as confident as ever.

He finally decided to give it a try.

In the center, the third person from Yexuan Country also lost.

Many people could see that the young geniuses of Great Wei were deliberately holding back, engaging in a few more moves.

Otherwise, losing in just one move always made Yexuan Country look awkward.

Yexuan Country was going to surrender anyway, there was no need to make it unpleasant.

The fourth person, Song Ruizhe, holding a long sword, walked in.

"Your Majesty, Ruizhe wants to challenge Shen Han, hearing that he is the foremost sword genius among the younger generation of Great Wei.

Juniors want to spar with him to see the gap between themselves and a genius."

As he spoke, Shen Han had already walked out.

Without saying a word, just standing there waiting for Song Ruizhe to make a move.

Perhaps seeing Shen Han not striking first, Song Ruizhe really thought his mother spoke of some unspeakable insider information.

In Yelan City, he had once challenged Shen Han.

At that time, he, Song Ruizhe, endured nine moves.

Today, he didn't know what his mother said to him, that would lead him to win?

Just now, Song Ruicheng lost so quickly, if he won, wouldn't that be...

Thinking of this, Song Ruizhe couldn't help but feel excited.

Reaching to draw his sword, even if there was insider news leading to his victory, he would have to go through the motions.

But as soon as his hand touched the hilt, he only felt a surge of overpowering pressure rush towards and completely envelop him.

The hand wanting to draw the sword, at this moment, couldn't move at all...

Back in Yelan City, he could still exchange a few moves with Shen Han.

Ji Zhi had also instructed him to specifically choose Shen Han as an opponent, thinking he would surely be able to showcase some skills.

The situation he faced now was vastly different from what Song Ruizhe imagined.

The Yexuan Country citizens were actually somewhat hopeful.

After all, it was Song Ruizhe who requested to challenge Shen Han, the one who was said to be the strongest young member of the Wei delegation.

They thought he might have some hidden, very powerful technique.

Even King Yexuan and the Third Prince couldn't help but take an extra look.

But now, Shen Han just calmly approached Song Ruizhe.

Reached out to draw the long sword from his scabbard.

The tip of the sword pointed at his forehead.

Throughout the process, Song Ruizhe didn't move a bit, as if he was just dumbfounded.

When the sword tip touched his forehead, the arena fell silent.

The Imperial Family of Yexuan Country and the onlooking citizens all wore extremely unpleasant expressions.

In previous fights, the young geniuses from Yexuan Country could somewhat exchange a few moves.

After a few moves before losing, it wasn't as embarrassing.

But seeing someone lose without even drawing their sword, the citizens couldn't bear to watch.

Among the crowd, various words of disdain and criticism emerged.

"I really don't know how, with such little skill, he had the nerve to issue a challenge.

And insisting on challenging the top sword genius of the Wei Country, what was going through his mind?"

"What was he thinking, he wanted to stand out."

"Probably thought he could seize the opportunity to shine, didn't expect to show himself so plainly, dragging us into shame with him."

While they spoke, some of the Yexuan citizens couldn't bear it and turned to leave.

The proud citizens of Yexuan couldn't stomach such an insult, refused to watch any longer.

Sitting upright, King Yexuan also frowned, looking towards the Third Prince.

This was his son; he didn't know how he was raised, to bring such disgrace.

The match ended, Shen Han waved his hand, tossing the long sword, and the blade slipped back into the scabbard.

This action looked extremely smooth, even pleasing to the eye.

And at this moment, Song Ruizhe's body finally relaxed from its tense state.

He collapsed onto the ground, his spirit shattered...

Returning to his seat at the table, the people around Shen Han looked at him with a strange gaze.

From what they knew, Shen Han was a low-key person, who didn't like showing off in public.

Nor did he enjoy humiliating others, yet now, he acted in such a manner.

"Brother Shen, what exactly did that guy do to offend you..."

Beside him, Yu Xiaoyan asked softly.

"Nothing, just felt that person was a bit disgusting."
