Yan Chuan let out a shout, yet it was the crowd on the field who first shuddered.

Yes, yes, yes!

This is the right feel!

This feel is too intense!

Just a short while ago, Yan Chuan 'scolded' Shi Qingke, and after that Shi Qingke proved the Dao, now he 'scolds' Ban Xianfu, so—

"Is it about to happen!"

The crowd eagerly looked forward.

However—

"No madness, no life!"

"I see!"

A sigh was heard, leading to great enlightenment.

However, it was not Ban Xianfu who comprehended it, but—

'Iron Fire Judge' Peng Fannian!

"Innate Qi!"

"One Yang Shaoyang!"

"I see!"

Peng Fannian first sighed, then let out a long howl. The "Innate Skill" was solid and profound, with "One Yang Finger" able to be quick or slow, with finger power running rampant, sound resonating all around, Qi momentum surged repeatedly, the Qingyun manifested, and the proving Dao was imminent!

Good, good, good!

Opponent Ban Xianfu has yet to prove the Dao!

Peng Fannian has taken the lead!

"Innate Skill"!

"One Yang Finger"!

Peng Fannian was the earliest of the acclaimed Heavenly Pride to be convinced by Yan Chuan after Ding Xiang. In nearly a year, he cultivated diligently, often consulting Jiang Bianliu as they followed similar paths. Elder Jiang cherished and cared for the younger generations, treating Peng Fannian as half a disciple, teaching him meticulously, therefore Peng Fannian's progress was actually not slow, with a truly deep accumulation.

He had already been acclaimed in the first Sword Discussion, but in that year he watched as Chen Ze, Yan Chuan, Situ Fei, Wang Zhengyi, Ding Xiang, Ying Jifeng, Luo Qi, and even Lu Yuru and Shi Qingke proved the Dao one after another. Peng Fannian stayed determined, unwavering, and continued his stable cultivation.

Until today!

Under the stimulation of Ban Xianfu's demonic nature and Yan Chuan's martial arts guidance, Peng Fannian had a flash of insight and a sudden breakthrough—

"Correct what heaven and earth cannot, judge what black and white cannot. Violate what man and ghost dare not, break what the sun and moon cannot!"

"Ruthless Confucian laws, impartial Legalism!"

'Iron Fire Judge' Peng Fannian!

Proving the Innate Dao!

...

"Not just!"

"Not just!"

"Look, Peng Fannian proves the Dao, Qingyun gathers above, the Grandmaster's aura pressures the arena, and everyone on the stage can't withstand it and retreats to the edge, except Ban Xianfu is still there, right in front of Peng Fannian, with hands shaped like blades, revealing sharpness, mad and obsessive, without taking a half step back!"

"With a Postnatal body resisting the respect of the Innate?"

"Mad enough!"

"Obsessive enough!"

"This is Ban Xianfu!"

...

Some saw the difference in Ban Xianfu. His face was flushed, eyes bloodshot, resisting under the world's oppression of Peng Fannian proving the Dao, under the holy washing of Peng Fannian's "One Yang Finger" and "Innate Skill," Ban Xianfu resisted, mad and demonic.

He's mad!

He's a demon!

He does not submit!

Not even to the Innate! Not even to heaven and earth! They cannot force him to retreat a step!

"Madness in me, advancing only, no retreat!"

Ban Xianfu let out a burst of shout, eyes deepening red, which instantly faded away, leaving behind only a pair of black eyes full of determination—

Mad demon?

Sealed demon!

The most extreme determination and steadfastness to one's heart, is it not also a kind of extreme madness?

Seal the demonic nature, certify the true heart.

Above Ban Xianfu's head manifested a Qingyun, upon close look, it was also incomparably holy—

"Half-human half-demon Ban Xianfu, half-god half-saint and also half-demon. Facing the sky with a blade and a laugh, I am mad and I am sincere!"

Sincerity brings spirit.

'Half-human half-demon' Ban Xianfu!

Proving the Dao!

...

"Both proved the Dao!"

"Good!"

Emperor Yan was overjoyed.

Who could have thought, just today, after Lu Yuru and Shi Qingke proved the Dao in succession, surprisingly there was still Peng Fannian and Ban Xianfu as these two surprises.

Though now he has to give away 20 Primordial Pills and two Fourth-Rank Weapons, which is an expense, but compared to Great Yan having two more Young Masters, this is nothing significant.

"Tan Valley King's purpose in coming to discuss swords is to thoroughly establish the title of 'Innate Master,' astonishing the world!" Emperor Yan looked at Yan Chuan.

Yan Chuan was indeed pleasantly surprised.

He, Peng Fannian, and Ban Xianfu were old friends, watching his old friends prove the Innate Dao, able to walk side by side henceforth, he couldn't help but feel gratified.

Their ability to prove the Dao, of course, has much to do with Yan Chuan—

Peng Fannian's "Innate Skill" and "One Yang Finger."

Ban Xianfu's "Holy Fire Order Divine Skill" and just now "Mad Demon," "Newborn."

The two's Absolute Skills were taught and passed on by Yan Chuan, often guiding during the past year, and again this time.

Their proving Dao, Yan Chuan deserves great credit.

However, why is it that in the past year, after Tan Valley City, when Yan Chuan often taught martial arts and guided, the two still didn't prove the Dao, but why this time, with guidance, they broke through?

Are the two excited by the crowd, more effective in front of others?

No, no, no!

It's not like that!

Yan Chuan actually knew—

"Your Majesty opened up heaven and earth, promoted martial arts in Great Yan, producing peerless Heavenly Pride, and gathered these Heavenly Pride at Cang Mountain, discussing swords and martial arts."

"Shi Qingke."

"Peng Fannian."

"Ban Xianfu."

"They saw more Heavenly Pride at Cang Mountain, each with a competitive spirit. The collisions among the Heavenly Pride were fierce, and during the forty-nine days of martial arts discussion, their physical strength reached the limit, their energy reached the limit, but from another perspective, their spirit reached the peak, just a spark away from igniting them completely." Yan Chuan smiled at Emperor Yan: "And I happened to be that spark."

Cang Mountain!

Sword Discussion!

Divine Stroke!

Shi Qingke, Peng Fannian, Ban Xianfu may still be unclear, but Yan Chuan, observing from the sidelines, saw clearly that these few had already regarded 'Cang Mountain' as the 'Holy Land for Proving the Dao,' and 'Sword Discussion' as 'sword sharpening' in their hearts.

The edge of the treasure sword comes from sharpening!

Suppress the Heavenly Pride, revere only Cang Mountain!

Cang Mountain grand stage, come forth and prove your Dao!

...

"Congratulations Brother Ban!"

"Congratulations to you too!"

Peng Fannian and Ban Xianfu's Qingyun manifests, and after proving Enlightenment, they exchange a smile, "Shall we have another challenge?"

Spontaneously.

In unison.

The two burst into laughter, unable to hide their joy in proving their Dao, even someone as sacred as Peng Fannian, even someone as mad as Ban Xianfu, their hearts are full of joy at this moment.

Before proving Dao, victory and defeat is indistinguishable. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

After proving Dao, high and low will be debated again!

"Can't use sabers here, can't see Brother Ban's saber skills, unsatisfying!" Peng Fannian leaps up and shouts, "Let's fight outside the mountain!"

"Great!"

Ban Xianfu, having recently learned Yan Chuan's taught Saber Skills "Newborn", has just proved his Dao and has many thoughts, yearning to verify them. The Chess Stone Peak arena didn't fulfill him, and Peng Fannian's proposal was just right.

At that moment.

The two of them leap, flipping off Chess Stone Peak, their free spirit and their 'transcending the three realms and not being in the five elements' after proving Innate perfectly echo with each other, causing envy and longing among many Heavenly Prides.

Innate!

Like a dream!

...

The masters from the heavens lower their heads.

The Heavenly Prides on the ground follow.

Eyes follow Peng Fannian and Ban Xianfu as they disappear, then collectively look at Yan Chuan, lost for words.

An instance of Shi Qingke is coincidence.

Adding Peng and Ban to the mix, that surely cannot be coincidental.

So—

"Yan Chuan!"

"Can truly enlighten to Innate?!"

A thought of shock.

At some point before, Yan Chuan's explanations, martial arts lectures, and pointers were met with disdain, resistance, even disgust, and the situation unknowingly transformed. Now at this Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, coupled with Shi Qingke, Peng Fannian, and Ban Xianfu all achieving breakthrough under Yan Chuan's 'pointers'—

Three lectures, three enlightenments!

Hundred shots hundred hits!

Who can take this?

From now on, Yan Chuan's explanations, martial arts lectures, pointers will no longer be met with disdain, resistance, or disgust.

Everyone will surely seek them.

But sadly, the Sword Discussion system makes it difficult for elite fighters to encounter each other, like Shi Qingke and Yu En, like Peng Fannian and Ban Xianfu, such high-level duels are rare.

Thinking of this.

The crowd suddenly remembered 'Nine-Clawed Dragon King' Yu En—

"Almost forgot about Yu En!"

"Yan Chuan gave two lectures and pointed to four people, three proved their Dao, except Yu En."

"Not proving isn't scary, being the odd one is awkward!"

"Could Yu En be more awkward or more regretful now?"

...

People looked at Yu En, some gloating, others sympathizing.

But Yu En isn't the main character, so he doesn't receive much attention.

With only five hours until the end of the second Sword Discussion, the time remaining for all the Heavenly Prides isn't much.

Not only is the time for contesting the Arena Master running low, the number of Yan Chuan's martial lectures is also dwindling.

"Chou Character!"

"Arena Masters Yu Jinpeng, Jin Yutang!"

"Yan's Four Talents!"

"Two Extreme Boxing Kings!"

"These are Yan Chuan's disciples!"

"If any First Tier, Second Tier, or maybe even Third Tier elite challenges the Chou Character arena against Yu Jinpeng and Jin Yutang, it could pressure them, surely prompting Yan Chuan to explain, lecture, and point!"

"Look!"

"Top-tier Heavenly Prides challenging the Chou Character arena is surging!"

"'Nine-Clawed Dragon King' Yu En!"

"'Floral Saber' Mo Yunjian!"

"'Chasing God Blade' Liu Xin!"

"'Outer Heaven Jade Dragon' Zhuge Zhen!"

"'Starry Sky' Cai Ru'an!"

"They've all gone!"

"Indeed!"

...

Pressure on the Chou Character arena increases, heroes besiege, while other arenas aren't empty, they have significantly fewer elites challenging.

"Forget it!"

"Leave this arena!"

'Ghost Shadow' Guo Xi laughed, abandoned the steadfast 'Xu Character arena', relinquished his Twelve Strong, leapt and flew off—

He abandons the Arena Master just to challenge the Chou Character arena!

Gasp!

People watched, their eyelids jumping in unison, unsure if Guo Xi is too foolish or too gambling-prone.

But it wasn't just Guo Xi—

"Tai Chi!"

"Baji!"

"Let me meet them too!"

'Guan Sha Guan Mai' Jing Bao abandoned the Si Character arena, gracefully descended, also wanting to challenge the Chou Character arena.

A Second Tier.

A First Tier.

"Wow!"

"Barely leaving a way!"

On the Chou Character arena, seeing such a scene, Wei Quan is not afraid but rather excited, since even if they have to fight, it's not him, it's the two senior brothers at the forefront, he has nothing to worry about.

Wei Quan is excited that—

"Elder Brother!"

"Second Brother!"

"Encountering formidable foes, Master's advice, could they be just about to prove Dao to Innate?"

If so, an entire sect with three Innate masters!

Wei Quan widened his eyes: "Won't I be able to walk horizontally in Great Yan from now on?!"
