The Sword Dao of the world originates from Yexuan.

When this statement was made, Shen Han and the others were taken aback.

The history of Yexuan Country is barely over five hundred years.

Whereas the history of Sword Dao could be said to be thousands of years old, if not underestimated.

The three major countries of Wei, Qi, and Yan would likely all refrain from making such a claim.

And yet, such a small country like Yexuan dares to speak so boldly...

For a moment, including Shen Han, the group didn't know how to respond.

They even initially wondered if Brother and Sister Quan were joking.

Those by their side couldn't quite ignore it, but recalled the advice to remain as amicable as possible before their departure.

"Brother Quan, the methods of Sword Dao probably emerged during ancient times.

Back then, the concept of a country may not even have existed, so how could one claim that the Sword Dao of the world originates from Yexuan..."

Upon hearing this, Quan Youzhi couldn't help but sigh.

"You all know very little about the true history.

The ancient Sword Dao was merely called Sword Dao, just using the sword as a weapon for hacking and cutting.

It was our Yexuan Country's Saint who advanced the understanding of Sword Dao.

Only then did we have the 'Night Declaration Sword Formulas.'

Once these spread, the countries used them as a foundation to comprehend other Sword Techniques.

At its essence, it's just that the 'Night Declaration Sword Formulas' have two more variations."

Quan Youzhi spoke eloquently and earnestly, as if what he said was absolute truth.

But those by his side were finding it hard to hold back.

Shen Han too frowned, not knowing what to say.

Changing a person's beliefs is as difficult as plucking a star from the sky.

Clearly, this person in front of him is deeply convinced...

While Shen Han could restrain himself, the talented scholar from Qiling Academy couldn't.

In his words, he leisurely recounted history.

The history he spoke of was not just the perspective of Great Wei.

Both in the countries of Qi and Yan, it's recorded similarly.

The line of Sword Dao has always been replete with strong figures.

If Yexuan Country were truly the origin of Sword Dao, it would have long been revered as a Holy Land.

This kind of title, capable of rallying swordsmen worldwide, who would willingly give it up, countries would likely vie for it.

After hearing this explanation, Quan Youzhi simply smiled.

"This friend speaks quite logically. It seems the Wei Country compiled many texts to claim this honor.

But I would say, if not for Saint Yexuan's generosity in spreading the cultivation methods of Sword Dao,

Perhaps people in the world would still be wielding swords chaotically..."

Quan Youzhi's remarks truly made a few people feel blood boiling.

Even the three major countries of Wei, Qi, and Yan hadn't brazenly slapped this so-called name of origin onto themselves.

Another one of their friends couldn't bear it anymore and spoke up again: "The history of the Sword Dao is long-standing, the classics related to Sword Intent emerged a thousand years ago.

In the Book Collection Pavilion of the Mountain Sea Academy, there's even an original copy.

If Sword Dao indeed originated from Yexuan Country, then why do the sword technique classics predate the existence of Yexuan Country?"

Facing this rebuttal, Quan Youzhi still shook his head.

"Facts speak louder than words. It just shows that people outside have completely forgotten the contribution of Saint Yexuan.

Speaking of which, it could be said as forgetting one's origins."

To accuse of forgetting one's origins, this evaluation is indeed going a bit far...

Shen Han glanced at his fellow friend beside him, their face flushed with hints of anger.

This Quan Youzhi before them seems to believe Yexuan Country is the foremost in the world.

His speech was full of praise.

After all, it's his own country, so it's normal to praise it.

But it should be done with reason and evidence...

The one criticized for forgetting origins focused his gaze on Shen Han.

"Since Brother Quan speaks so, I truly am at a loss for words.

This Brother Shen beside me is the Number One Sword Dao genius of our Great Wei.

Brother Shen's understanding of Sword Dao is far deeper than mine."

As he spoke, he took a step closer to Shen Han.

"Brother Shen, you tell us, did the Sword Dao of the world truly originate from this Yexuan Country?"

He was clearly a bit upset, unable to argue further, wanting Shen Han to help defend.

Upon this introduction, Quan Youzhi looked at Shen Han with a shine in his eyes.

"I didn't expect this Brother Shen to be the Number One in Sword Dao of Great Wei.

Being able to visit Yexuan Country today is a fortune for both Brother Shen and Yexuan Country itself.

Yexuan's people love the sword, and they welcome good swordsmen warmly.

Brother Shen, this visit to Yexuan will surely yield significant gains.

To gain a few insights from Yexuan's Sword Techniques would be enough to benefit for a lifetime."

These words were spoken with very polite and courteous tones.

However, the content of the words was incredibly arrogant.

Saying that gaining a few insights, would be enough to benefit for a lifetime, right in front of Shen Han.

Before Shen Han could become impatient, the four people beside him couldn't sit still anymore.

"Brother Quan, did you hear clearly, Brother Shen is the Number One in Sword Dao among the youth of our Great Wei.

Under twenty, not only in Yexuan, even if all the continent's geniuses gathered.

Brother Shen would still be outstanding among them!

I could even boldly claim, under twenty, Brother Shen is nearly unrivaled in Sword Dao.

What mysteries does Yexuan hold, that could cause Brother Shen to benefit for a lifetime?"

With a trace of helplessness on his face, Shen Han reflected.

These people, boasting about others, their voices are nothing if not loud...

Perhaps they think that even if they're embarrassed, it doesn't involve themselves...

Hearing this, Quan Youzhi's face remained calm.

"It is said that young men are bold, for you guests from Wei Country to have such confidence, is naturally a good thing.

But the world is full of hidden talents, boasting before engagement, no matter how much is said, it's merely an illusion."

As he spoke, Quan Youzhi led the group forward.

His face still carried a smile.

Compared to others who seemed a bit upset, he stayed calm and composed.

It seemed that in his view, the Sword Dao of Yexuan Country had no chance of defeat.

After taking a few steps forward, Quan Youzhi continued: "I often hear the City Lord say, an arrogant army will surely lose.

Tomorrow, there will be some Martial Path exhibitions in front of the City Lord Mansion, it's better for Brother Shen to keep a calm temperament.

Otherwise, you might lose quickly."

As he spoke, Quan Youzhi seemed to be concerned about Shen Han, offering him advice.

His calm and confident demeanor was indeed a bit intimidating.

Returning to their lodging, the faces of the four bore hints of ridicule.

How can the citizens of a small country like Yexuan be so confident...

If Yexuan Country truly had such prowess as Quan Youzhi claimed, why would they dwell in this impoverished southern land?

Could it be that the people of Yexuan Country enjoy hardship?

That even with better resources, they neither strive nor fight for them?

Moreover, Shen Han is not new to the knowledge of cultivation.

After surpassing the Seventh Grade in strength, resources, experience, talent — none can be lacking.

In this barren land, where does Yexuan Country have so many resources?
