When they saw the sword edge between their eyebrows clearly, the student from Mountain Sea Academy was somewhat in disbelief.

Yu Xiaoyan had actually lost...

Even after returning to the group from Great Wei, Yu Xiaoyan still kept his head down, extremely self-critical.

He had not expected at all that he would lose.

The key point was, he didn't even realize how he lost.

In front of the City Lord Mansion, Quan Youzhi held his sword in his hand, his face still with a calm expression.

The citizens of Yexuan Country watching nearby were all quite excited.

Many people had previously heard of how strong Wei Country was supposed to be.

But now it seems it was nothing but a false reputation; the martial path of Wei Country was inferior to that of Yexuan!

At this moment, Quan Youzhi's gaze once again turned to the people from Great Wei.

"Yesterday I already mentioned to our guests, the myriad sword daos of the world are merely branches of the Sword Dao of Yexuan.

Standing in the world, one must not forget their roots.

Only by maintaining a posture of humility can one continue to advance."

Winning over others and then starting a long preaching monologue was indeed quite uncomfortable.

Yu Xiaoyan from Mountain Sea Academy heard this and only felt his head was about to split, feeling extremely unwell.

And this Quan Youzhi seemed to be quite talkative, for he had more to say after finishing his speech.

"Saint Yexuan once said that even when he entered the Saint Realm, he still kept a learner's heart.

The reason the guests from Wei Country lost to me boils down to their restless temperament.

They always think there are only Wei, Qi, and Yan in the world.

Unaware that beyond the mountains, there are more mountains, and deep within the mountains, there are immortals, who can cause mountains to tremble with just a wave."

Shen Han frowned slightly, walked over to the student from Mountain Sea Academy, and gently patted his shoulder.

"It's all empty clichés, you don't need to listen to what he says."

If the path of cultivation only required listening to such teachings to gain insight, it would be too easy.

Seeing Shen Han comforting him, Yu Xiaoyan slightly lifted his face, still wearing a self-reproachful expression.

"This Quan Youzhi is indeed somewhat peculiar. His threat feels very small, and his strength is ordinary.

I can hardly feel any pressure from him.

Yet when engaging with him, I only felt a pang of heart palpitation, dizziness, and vertigo.

I practice the art of fist force, and my fists are supposed to be fierce and unsurpassed.

But at that time, even my hands felt completely powerless..."

Yu Xiaoyan recounted his feelings in detail to Shen Han; this sensation was not related to sword techniques.

Meanwhile, Quan Youzhi was still speaking.

"Citizens, do not be arrogant in victory nor discouraged in defeat.

Today is supposed to be the welcoming ceremony for the guests from Wei Country, so please, refrain from ridicule or mockery."

Upon hearing this, the crowd quickly fell silent.

Yet there remained a slight expression of pride on their faces.

"Let me go next."

With that, Shen Han prepared to step forward.

The leading guard wore a troubled expression, walking up to Shen Han.

"Shen, you cannot lose again...

We came here to proclaim the might of Great Wei; if we lose again, it's indefensible.

Furthermore, there exists a wager between King Yexuan and His Holiness, if we lose the duel, we must offer them a considerable amount of resources upon submission..."

Shen Han nodded slightly.

With such a wager in place, Yexuan Country was more likely to engage in some tricks.

He walked towards the City Lord Mansion.

Seeing Shen Han approach, a slight flicker appeared in Quan Youzhi's eyes, the corner of his mouth curling into a subtle smile.

It seems there was a hint of excitement about dueling Shen Han.

"The first sword genius of Wei Country, Brother Shen."

Quan Youzhi cupped his fist and saluted, his every movement exuding a notable air of sophistication.

Shen Han returned the gesture, responding with a hint of a smile: "My reputation exceeds my capabilities; I ask Brother Quan for guidance."

"Guidance? I don't dare presume, Quan in Yexuan Country is merely a mid-level swordsman.

There are many stronger than me in Yexuan Country."

Shen Han remained as calm as before: "Brother Quan is too modest."

"It's not modesty, just the truth.

In two days, you guests should meet the true genius in the Imperial City.

Today, let an ordinary swordsman like me learn from the sword techniques of the Wei Country's foremost sword genius."

His tone was very calm, but the content of his words revealed a certain degree of pride.

With a sudden clop of an eagle's hoof, Quan Youzhi's long sword had yet to be drawn.

But Shen Han already felt a subtle intrusion of spiritual power.

This intrusion was peculiar, like boiling a frog in warm water, gradually attaching and lingering.

No wonder, no wonder the Mountain Sea Academy student felt dizzy and vertiginous when engaging.

This was caused by the bizarre spiritual power intrusion.

Shen Han thought slightly; during this period, he had read many ancient texts.

Judging by these means, it only seemed to be witchcraft from the Witchcraft and Gu Skill!

Among the three countries of Wei, Qi, and Yan, there were very few people who delved into the Witchcraft and Gu Skill.

So the student from Mountain Sea Academy was completely unprepared.

Unfortunately, when facing him, this method was of no use.

It should be known that Shen Han should be the strongest in spiritual power among his peers of sword cultivators.

Celestial Dao Sword Momentum requires spiritual power to maneuver, and extracting entries is often used to enhance strength.

These little tricks of his, once discovered, completely lose their effect.

Quan Youzhi's long sword was already displayed, and with a wave, a sword qi slashed out.

This kind of swordsmanship, Shen Han felt he could possibly use this move in the Eighth Grade.

But he also understood that he was merely trying to divert his attention.

So his witchcraft could be executed more effectively.

A few strands of fresh breeze brushed around.

In such a humid place as Yexuan, the feeling when the breeze blew was very comfortable.

Shen Han's gaze slightly focused, beside him, several sword shadows suddenly appeared.

"Divine Sword Breaks Earth Momentum."

The sword shadow was condensed and manifested through spiritual power; once its sharpness appeared, it directly slashed down all the witchcraft lingering around.

Nearby, Quan Youzhi's face, previously indifferent, suddenly panicked.

He should have reacted, realizing all his little tricks had been completely seen through.

In the void, he grasped a sword shadow, holding it in his hand, and approached Quan Youzhi step by step.

Previously eloquent, filled with long preaching speeches and full of open principles Quan Youzhi now panicked.

He tried to use witchcraft again to interfere, but that strand of spiritual power controlled by witchcraft had yet to touch Shen Han, and it was already slashed down by the sword shadow.

Intending to retreat, he was met with dense sword shadows behind him...

Having lived so many years in Yexuan Country, he had never seen such a magnificent momentum.

Boundless sword shadows could pierce him like a sieve.

Not to mention so many sword shadows, Quan Youzhi even felt he could not withstand a single one...

In the midst of terror, Shen Han had already reached his front.

Walking step by step, as if strolling in a leisure courtyard.

Arriving before Quan Youzhi, he raised the sword shadow in his hand, the sword tip shining with a chilling gleam, accompanied by a slight hissing sound.

The sword tip pressed against Quan Youzhi's forehead.

Just as he had pointed at Yu Xiaoyan earlier.
