Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes - Chapter 356 - 355: The Power of Backlash

Chapter 356: Chapter 355: The Power of Backlash

The terrifying effect of backlash makes these cultivation techniques exist solely for survival.

Basically, when used, it’s meant to save one’s life, evade strong enemies, or turn the tides.

And after using them, one might end up a cripple.

Such severe injuries are almost beyond the help of an Immortal Doctor.

These days, Shen Han has been searching for information related to these cultivation techniques in the Book Collection Pavilion.

According to the dean, these cultivation techniques almost all have intense backlash effects.

In the Book Collection Pavilion, Shen Han flipped through the relevant manuals, which stated the same as the dean.

Currently known cultivation techniques of this kind all have backlash effects.

After all, the practitioner’s inherent strength is insufficient, forcibly elevated.

How can the Fifth Grade physique withstand the Fourth Grade realm?

Surpassing strength will inevitably damage the original body.

This backlash effect is almost insoluble.

It will surely cause significant harm to the body.

Having understood this, Shen Han’s mind returned to when he emerged from the Little Pool Immortal Secret Realm.

Shen Ye intended to kill him, and at that time, he employed such secret techniques.

His strength suddenly elevated from the Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm to the Fruit Realm.

Afterward, he seemed unscathed.

When he later assassinated him, his physique was perfectly fine.

So it seems the backlash effect didn’t actually affect him.

Shen Han sat down in the courtyard, gazing at the verdant life before him.

Summer has arrived, and the vitality around him is increasingly apparent.

In his mind, Shen Han kept pondering Shen Ye’s use of these cultivation techniques.

At that time, Shen Ye clearly showed no concern for the backlash.

If the backlash is unavoidable, then he must possess some peculiar recovery technique.

Shen Han favored this hypothesis.

From his mentor Luo Zuchen’s perspective, to many people, his most notable trait is his madness.

Luo Zuchen not only acts without much concern.

In sparring with others, he also shows little apprehension.

If you want to risk your life, he will risk his life with you.

If you dare to be ruthless, he will be even more ruthless than you.

Few Immortal Realm experts dare to act this way.

His match with Shi Yuezhu previously already proved this point.

Luo Zuchen should have a method that enables him to recover easily from severe injuries shortly afterward.

He seems not to need any magical elixirs to assist him; no matter how heavy the injury, he can recover.

It is highly likely that Shen Ye learned this secret technique from Luo Zuchen.

Enabling him to use those backlash-laden cultivation techniques without worry.

He simply endures the backlash after using them.

Even if the body is injured, he uses those wonderful methods to restore it.

Thinking about this, Shen Han’s mind became increasingly clear.

This method might also be remarkably effective for himself.

With the Unceasing Skill, even if he encounters those backlashes early, injures his body, he could just use the Unceasing Skill to recover.

Thus, he too could study a set of such cultivation techniques.

After realizing this, Shen Han went to look in the Book Collection Pavilion of Tianyi Academy.

In the end, he found nothing, as the pavilion lacked these cultivation technique manuals.

Shen Han tried asking the pavilion’s attendant.

Nowadays, everyone in Tianyi Academy knows Shen Han.

He is greatly valued by the dean, so everyone treats Shen Han with utmost respect and great attitude.

But when Shen Han asked why there were no cultivation techniques to temporarily boost one’s realm.

The attendant couldn’t help but reveal a somewhat speechless expression.

Using such techniques is out of the question; even slight heedlessness during study can possibly injure the body.

Even if the academy wanted to teach these techniques, it couldn’t let the students read manuals and study on their own.

It seemed indeed, he’d overthought things…

Returning to the courtyard, Shen Han pondered.

He didn’t mention this matter to the dean or Zhong Nan.

Over there, they might never agree on him cultivating such techniques.

To them, the most reliable protection is their guardianship.

If they knew he intended to use them frequently in combat, they definitely wouldn’t consent.

After deliberation, Shen Han reached out to Shi Yuezhu using the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact.

Upon hearing Shen Han request such cultivation techniques, Shi Yuezhu was also opposed.

But Shen Han’s explanation ultimately convinced her.

He still faces ongoing crises, and the source of the crisis is Luo Zuchen.

The grudge of an Immortal Realm expert consistently carries a threat to one’s life.

If he cultivated such techniques, he could daringly fight when facing life-or-death crises.

He might even save his life.

Otherwise, confronting Luo Zuchen leaves him no strategies.

Additionally, Shen Han mentioned the Unceasing Skill.

Though Shi Yuezhu has just begun to learn it, she can already sense its incredible recovery power.

Even if he studies these cultivation techniques and suffers backlash, he still has the Unceasing Skill as his fallback.

After some persuasion, Shi Yuezhu reluctantly agreed.

The next day, she sent someone with a manual and a notebook of her insights.

Shen Han received the manual on the fourth day.

The manual appears somewhat old; Shi Yuezhu found it by accident while exploring the Secret Realm.

For Shi Yuezhu, her knowledge of these cultivation techniques is superficial.

She hasn’t truly studied them.

For one, she is confident in her own Body Technique and Sword Dao.

Unless facing a First Grade expert, she should be able to protect herself.

If facing a First Grade enemy, even Shi Yuezhu using such techniques might not escape.

Moreover, the backlash effect is truly potent.

Even from brief study, she could feel all-encompassing pressure.

Inside, Shen Han, upon receiving the manual and the notebook, immediately began studying.

The manual looked old but was not damaged.

Shen Han attempted to skim through several pages; the writing was clear and neat, without any issue during reading.

In a moment, a gray entry appeared on the manual.

[A Manual Full of Mistakes]

It turned out to be a gray entry; no wonder the practice issues were numerous afterward.

Shen Han didn’t hesitate, extracting the gray entry, incidentally applying a refined entry over it.

The originally old paper became much newer.

He pulled a chair and began studying.

[Divine Abyss Formulas]

The name of this cultivation method sounded very formidable.

These cultivation techniques aren’t difficult to learn, but trying to use them is very troublesome.

A slight lapse results in fierce backlash.

With the errors corrected, the cultivation techniques explained in the manual still have backlash effects.

But the backlash force is much improved.

Shen Han didn’t hesitate, attempting to use them.
