At this moment, He Zhenfen saw this scene and couldn't help but be shocked, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. It was clear that the three elders on the other side were obviously no match for the Fifth Elder. Although it was somewhat strenuous for him to deal with these people, it was evident that the Fifth Elder was handling it with ease.

Then He Zhenfen wanted to lead Ding Fan and the others away immediately, but when he saw Ding Fan at that moment, he couldn't help but pause. The other party unexpectedly seemed deeply immersed! Could it be that this kid had an epiphany by watching the elders' battle? How could this be possible?

In He Zhenfen's eyes, Ding Fan's state clearly showed a sign of enlightenment. As a cultivator at the Spirit Severing Late Stage, he naturally knew how important such enlightenment was to a cultivator. However, he didn't expect the elders' battle to be so intense, and in such an environment, the other party would have an epiphany. Such an environment was simply unattainable even for a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, let alone someone at his level of Spirit Severing Late Stage.

Yet as a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, Ding Fan actually managed it!

This was somewhat unbelievable!

He Zhenfen had encountered many genius disciples, but a cultivator disciple like Ding Fan was truly the first time he had seen, which was simply astonishing!

At this time, Ding Fan's mind was continuously replaying the previous battle of the Fifth Elder, every movement, every punch, every glance, every intent. The more he thought about it, the more exhilarated he became. Perhaps others found the movements and martial arts of the Fifth Elder unfathomable, but Ding Fan understood clearly that the martial arts the elder displayed were precisely from the Fist Technique in the Stele, and he could vaguely see that the movements evolved from that Fist Technique. However, for Ding Fan, it was just a feeling; although at this moment he could integrate and adapt some movements from that Fist Technique, it was evident that the elder's understanding of the Fist Technique on the Stele was far beyond his own.

From the martial arts the other party exhibited, Ding Fan could only grasp a basic outline, but even just that outline was already extremely valuable to him. Indeed, as He Zhenfen observed, Ding Fan's mind was now filled with the images of that Fist Technique comparing them with his own, and soon he found many differences and deficiencies.

This was an invaluable treasure for Ding Fan, and he was incredibly excited, knowing clearly that recognizing these gaps and shortcomings, his strength would definitely leap forward with just a slight adjustment!

At this moment, He Zhenfen also noticed Ding Fan's transformation and immediately moved beside Ding Fan to act as his protector, knowing that Ding Fan was experiencing an epiphany and must not be disturbed. Evidently, such an opportunity was extremely rare for a cultivator.

Recalling his own epiphany, He Zhenfen felt a tinge of shame, as it had been five years since his last enlightenment. That particular epiphany enabled him to breakthrough from Spirit Severing Mid Stage to Spirit Severing Late Stage cultivation. Evidently, his cultivation talent was already quite impressive, being one of the outstanding individuals among the younger generation at his age.

However, Ding Fan managed to gain such an epiphany so quickly, he was definitely a monstrous existence!

He Zhenfen's resolve grew stronger, knowing that as long as Ding Fan could leave here alive, the revival of the Dayang Sect was not far off. A sect with a history of hundreds of years would fall by his hand, so he must protect Ding Fan no matter the cost!

"Old dog, meet your fate!"

At this time, a Spirit Severing Mid Stage elder furiously shouted at the Fifth Elder, immediately swinging the long whip in his hand. The whip, like a scorching red iron, would exact a heavy price upon contact. Clearly, this elder was using his ultimate skills, each move intending to take the Fifth Elder's life!

"The Dayang Sect must perish today! Die!"

Another elder roared, his figure shifting instantly, appearing beside the Fifth Elder, and swung a great blade horizontally. The Blade Qi was terrifyingly sharp in an instant.

"Elder…"

Witnessing this scene, He Qianyao gasped and exclaimed in shock at the Fifth Elder. Clearly, the onslaught of attacks targeting the Fifth Elder caused an immense concern in her heart. It was well-known that the two elders were both Spirit Severing Mid Stage cultivators; if an ordinary cultivator encountered such a scene, certain death would be inevitable!

"Haha! All of you, go to hell!"

The Fifth Elder disdainfully roared, spinning his body several times, his fists viciously like a savage tiger, and directly struck the two elders.

Rumble!

Boom!

The two elders were taken aback, immediately withdrawing their attack techniques to switch to defense, but they never expected the opponent's fists to be so ferocious, directly breaking through each of their defenses and striking them.

Spurt...

The two elders spewed fresh blood constantly, faces turning ashen. Clearly, they were severely injured at this moment, one elder even staggering several steps back, finally supporting himself on the ground with one hand, finding it difficult to stand again. This strike from the opponent nearly claimed his life!

"Turning illusion into reality, great fists!"

For a moment, Ding Fan's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement and he murmured in awe.

The Fist Technique of the fifth elder was evidently something Ding Fan was very familiar with; it was precisely the technique from the stele. However, what made Ding Fan extremely excited was that he was now able to discern some key points of the fifth elder's fist technique, and couldn't help but speak out.

"Hmm? Not bad!"

The fifth elder clearly heard Ding Fan and was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected Ding Fan to be able to observe so deeply. Obviously, his fist technique came from the stele, yet knowing that he had studied this technique for decades, his insight and understanding were far beyond the reach of ordinary people. He didn't expect Ding Fan could describe it with such accuracy!

It was indeed quite shocking!

He Zenfen also heard Ding Fan's words and was initially startled. Could Ding Fan really understand the fist technique of the fifth elder? That was a bit too unbelievable!

But upon hearing the fifth elder's acknowledgement of Ding Fan's words, He Zenfen's face showed even more shock. Clearly, the fifth elder had confirmed Ding Fan's words; that was simply too incredible!

To know that the moves of a Tribulation stage Cultivator were unimaginable to ordinary disciples, let alone the fist technique exhibited by the fifth elder. Although the fifth elder rarely showed his face, He Zenfen knew of some of the fifth elder's reputation. He was fully aware that when the fifth elder was young and at the height of his power, he was a truly formidable presence. The impression people remembered most was the fifth elder's fist technique, which was practically unbeatable.

At that time, there seemed to be no cultivator who could resist the fifth elder's fist technique. In the end, it was only an elder adept in swordsmanship who could fight to a draw with the fifth elder's fist technique, and if not for the fifth elder wanting to focus further on his cultivation, even that sword-wielding elder wouldn't have been a match.

Concerning the fifth elder's fist technique, not just Ding Fan, even someone as advanced as a Spirit Severing stage expert like myself could not fully grasp the nuances. Yet, Ding Fan managed to speak of it and received the fifth elder's confirmation; this was simply too unbelievable!

Suddenly, He Zenfen seemed to recall something. He suddenly remembered the fist technique Ding Fan had previously displayed, which had left him quite shaken at that time. It looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't figure out where he had seen it before.

Now, He Zenfen felt that Ding Fan's fist technique was extremely similar to the fifth elder's. Given He Zenfen's late Spirit Severing stage cultivation, he could clearly see things quite well. He knew that although Ding Fan's fist technique was somewhat different from the fifth elder's, he understood who the fifth elder was! A Tribulation stage Cultivator, the fifth elder's technique was evidently many times more exquisite than Ding Fan's.

But this did not deceive He Zenfen's eyes; at this moment, he could confidently say that Ding Fan's fist technique was the same as the fifth elder's!

Thinking of this, He Zenfen could no longer remain calm. Knowing the might of the fifth elder's fist technique, which was virtually unbeatable, countless cultivators had sought to learn it, and many young people hoped to become his disciples. After all, that fist technique was remarkably powerful. Many cultivators even attempted to steal the fifth elder's techniques.

However, none have ever succeeded because the fifth elder's fist technique is not only formidable but also without discernible patterns. All those secretive learners returned empty-handed.

He Zenfen didn't expect Ding Fan knew the fifth elder's fist technique. Although initially, he couldn't be certain. But the dialogue between Ding Fan and the fifth elder clearly confirmed some truths.

Thinking of this, He Zenfen's face couldn't help showing excitement. Obviously, if Ding Fan knew the fifth elder's fist technique, then Ding Fan's future achievements would be far greater!

At this moment, it wasn't only He Zenfen who was stunned; the most shocked had to be the fifth elder. Clearly, the fifth elder hadn't expected Ding Fan to have a realization at this time, especially to have comprehended his fist technique, which was truly astounding!

Although he knew Ding Fan had practiced the fist technique within the stele, he hadn't imagined that Ding Fan could still have such an epiphany while he was performing the technique—it was truly quite a shock!

Regarding Ding Fan's cultivation talent, the fifth elder had nothing left to say, evidently, he was exceptional!

At this moment, He Qianyao observed the fifth elder looking extremely shocked and proud at Ding Fan, while her father He Zenfen also looked at Ding Fan with great astonishment. He Qianyao couldn't help but be startled.

Ding Fan actually made a breakthrough at such a moment! That was so impressive!

As He Qianyao watched Ding Fan at this moment, she felt that Ding Fan seemed even more mysterious than the fifth elder, and even harder to fathom.

Ding Fan had by now returned to his senses, suddenly remembering his insight, feeling very excited at heart and wishing he could try it out immediately, but knowing that now was not the time.

But as Ding Fan suddenly realized everyone was now staring at him, he couldn't help but be startled.

What's happening to me! Am I just too impressive? No matter, if I don't leave now, when will I!
