"What’s so surprising about this? Don’t forget, Junior Brother Ye is a prodigious dual-talent of the Divine Sword Sect. What is a prodigious talent? Someone who defies convention. When Junior Brother Ye vanquished the ’Fourth Rank Spiritual Essence Realm’ Demon Dao remnants, it was simply because the strongest demon cultivators were at that realm. Even if they were stronger, Junior Brother Ye would have no trouble slaying them."

"Moreover, Junior Brother Ye once condensed ten spiritual essences, a feat to behold! From what I know, among the current disciples of Divine Sword Sect, fewer than five have ever achieved the ten spiritual essences."

"My heavens! Doesn’t that mean Senior Brother Ye Xiaofan is among those rare prodigious talents of the Divine Sword Sect?"

"That is inevitable. In this world, there are not many who can compete with Junior Brother Ye, of course, this isn’t an innate gift, but a result of his hard work."

Ye Lin listened to these words, completely dumbfounded, as if he’d heard news of the apocalypse, his heart filled with disbelief. How could the waste of the past reach such heights now?

As Ye Lin was engulfed in endless turmoil, more and more senior brothers of the Divine Sword Sect began to discuss the various events involving that figure, speaking with confidence and clarity.

The reason these senior brothers mention these isn’t due to personal admiration for that person, but these matters interest the newly initiated junior brothers and sisters, and speaking of them can bring the sides closer together.

After all, the cultivation realm requires companions; otherwise, the path is exceedingly dull and tasteless. If they can gain the favor of beauties through this, perhaps today’s junior sister may become a wife in the future.

However, these Divine Sword Sect senior brothers, harboring motives, did not notice that as they spoke of others’ feats, the new junior sisters’ eyes sparkled, their beautiful eyes filled with admiration—though this admiration had nothing to do with them.

Of course, these senior brothers naturally knew this but paid no mind. That kind of extraordinary individual wouldn’t be a match for these junior sisters. The two sides have no opportunity to intersect, and they don’t need to worry that their admiration would matter. As the saying goes, proximity brings advantage, so they aim to first win the affection of junior sisters.

Thus, the deeds of Ye Xiaofan were spoken of continuously from before entering the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ until the present, even mentioning his grassroots beginnings.

A cultivation failure, suffering humiliation, was insignificant like dust, rising to prominence at the Star Moon City Grand Competition, gaining Sword Saint’s recognition...

Participating in the Array Battle Conference, securing a top ten position, inheriting the legacy of Array Peak, becoming a Saint Heir, within less than two years entering the seventeenth minor peak...

In the ’Border City Battle Domain’ vanquishing Yunmo Yan, single-handedly breaking the Demon Slaughter Chain Annihilation Array, at the early stage of Profound Sea Realm, battling over a hundred peak Profound Sea Realm cultivators, seven half-step Spiritual Essence Realm deaths, fifteen injuries...

Then entering the strongest ’Spiritual Element Battle Domain,’ achieving Spiritual Essence Realm in two months, condensing ten spiritual essences, and slaying the ’Fourth Rank Spiritual Essence Realm’ peak...

Obtaining the Floating Divine Hall’s legacy, repelling an assault of tens of thousands of terrifying strong experts, the power of ’Harmonious Sword’ slaying a prodigious monster, and retreating unscathed from a myriad of forces...

Finally, awakening the innate Daluo Dao Body in the Blood-colored Mountain Range, repelling Ni Motian, a monstrous prodigy of the Demon Sect, in one strike, astounding numerous peak Spiritual Essence Realm cultivators and more.

Various deeds were revealed by countless senior brothers, leaving many new junior sisters’ eyes shimmering. Some ’unreliable’ senior brothers, aiming for effect, exaggerated even further, portraying ’that senior brother’ as an invincible existence in the world, as if everyone in Divine Sword Sect would pale in comparison before him.

The emergence of this situation undoubtedly gave Ye Xiaofan a wave of junior sister fans, and even a wave of junior brother fans.

It’s not just these new disciples; even senior brothers and sisters of Divine Sword Sect were astounded after hearing all of these deeds, their hearts shocked, nearly left speechless.

However, just as the entire Divine Sword Sect’s abode was in a lively uproar.

The culprit of the event quietly sat on the halfway up Spirit Peak No. 4, his brow almost furrowed into a character for river.

Ever since returning from competing sword intent with Luo Qingchen, Ye Xiaofan has focused solely on the "He Yuan Technique." Now, having cultivated to the peak of the Spiritual Essence Realm, he realized the ten spiritual essences could be integrated, feeling both exhilarated and forlorn.

The "He Yuan Technique" given by Luo Qingxian was indeed an exceptional work, detailing the methods and intricacies of integrating spiritual essences. However, much of it was incredibly obscure and difficult to understand, words that Ye Xiaofan had never heard.

Though his comprehension was terrifyingly good, the prerequisite for understanding is at least grasping things to try. Like Sword Dao, without sword techniques, or a chance to observe, no matter how prodigious your comprehension, you can’t create something from nothing.

Just like without Luo Qingchen’s display of sword intent, Ye Xiaofan couldn’t comprehend the grand fusion of sword intent, nor learn seven to eight-tenths of the essence of the other’s sword intent.

At this moment, the "He Yuan Technique" before him was just like this. There were many terms he’d never heard of; let alone practicing the "He Yuan Technique," even reading it was difficult, struggling to understand before discussing comprehension.

Ye Xiaofan even suspected whether there was an annotation version of this "He Yuan Technique," which Luo Qingxian hadn’t given him.

Turning the thought over, it seemed the other didn’t need to do so. If truly not wanting to give it, there was no need to mention it, why go the extra mile?
