System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

The Dao-proving Hall was a place for discussions on Dao, where the combat was conducted using the spiritual energy of puppets as a means of mutual slaughter. However, from a rigorous perspective, in actual combat in the wild, those puppets were equivalent to the combatants themselves. The fact that he had been so easily killed by his opponent, without even understanding why, was something Tianshui could not accept.

Looking at his senior brother Tianshui, whose Dao heart had already calmed down, Chen Xuan secretly praised him. Is this the Dao heart cultivation of the number one person of the third generation of Xuanqing Palace?

"Junior brother dares not hide it." At this moment, Chen Xuan had already gloriously risen from a so-called new junior brother to the number one third-generation disciple of the Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace.

Even with such a prestigious title and such glory, Chen Xuan's expression remained as calm as ever, and even his eyes were no different from before, as calm as still water, as if he didn't care about these so-called empty titles at all, regarding them as nothing more than fleeting clouds.

At this moment, everyone inside and outside the arena, even the second and first generation disciples who were watching from a distance using the Water Mirror Technique, were all staring intently at Chen Xuan.

"The continuous discussions, especially the one with Senior Sister Tian Shuang, have benefited me greatly and left me with profound insights. It was only just now that my understanding of the Path of Gale has reached a new level. It is precisely because of this that I was able to break through Senior Brother's heavy water barrier and win this competition."

Chen Xuan's words were a shock to everyone present.

How could one break through in battle by exchanging ideas and discussing principles?

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, the defeated Tian Shui shook his head with a wry smile. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he gently tossed a jade bottle containing ten catties of Origin Liquid to Chen Xuan and said with a slight smile, "It seems that Junior Brother must have had many rich experiences in his youth, as well as a profound accumulation of understanding of the Dao. Only in this way could he break through in battle by taking advantage of the opportunity to discuss and exchange Daos before becoming a disciple."

Chen Xuan reached out and took the jade bottle, returned the greeting with a cupped hand, and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

"After years of accumulation, I suddenly had an epiphany and made a further step in my understanding of the Dao. I, your senior brother, am completely convinced of my defeat and it is not unjust."

Immediately, Senior Brother Tianshui took to the air and flew away from the arena, landing steadily in the ranks of the third-generation senior disciples.

"Senior Brother Tianshui..."

"Brother Tianshui."

……

"Haha, it's just an empty title. I, Tianshui, am not the kind of person who is petty and cares about empty titles."

With a hearty laugh, Tianshui's fellow disciples, who were on good terms with him, breathed a sigh of relief.

"But even Senior Brother Tianshui has been defeated, so who will be next in the Hall of Proving the Dao?"

"Yes, among the third-generation disciples, Senior Sister Tianshuang and Senior Brother Tianshui are already ranked at the top, second and first respectively. What, do you mean that disciplining a new junior brother requires the personal intervention of the second-generation disciples of Xuanqing Palace?"

……

Because Wang Kaixuan's performance during the Dao debate with the senior disciples in the morning was so inferior, only Xuanming, a second-generation disciple, came to the Dao Proving Hall to watch the battle in the afternoon. The other second-generation disciples either stopped paying attention to this grand Dao debate or watched from afar in their respective caves using the Water Mirror Technique.

As the words fell, many people in the third-generation disciples' camp turned to look at another direction without prior arrangement.

Seeing the gazes of his many third-generation junior brothers fixed on him, Xuanming laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, "If Junior Brother Chen Xuan had failed to break through in the face of battle, I might still have a sliver of hope of victory. But now, even I have no chance of winning."

Xuanming's tribe was in dire straits, and although ten catties of Origin Liquid wasn't a large amount, it could sustain the tribe's daily expenses for several years. Without absolute certainty of victory, he naturally didn't want to easily enter the arena for a match.

Upon hearing Senior Brother Xuanming's words, the senior disciples knew that this newly promoted senior brother had no intention of participating.
