The Yunchao Sword Sect is home to an endless stream of gifted sword cultivators, and the fact that Feng Renyu has managed to maintain the number one spot among so many Golden Core geniuses without a single defeat is truly remarkable.
However, in a major sect like the Yunchao Sword Sect, everyone below the level of a Dao Integration master is merely considered a disciple; reaching the Golden Core stage is only enough to become a standard inner sect disciple. Above that are the Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, and Void Return stages. The sect’s backbone of combat power consists primarily of sword cultivators at the Spirit Severing and Void Return levels. While Feng Renyu may be the top genius among Golden Core sword cultivators, it is uncertain whether he will maintain that standing once he advances to the Nascent Soul stage.
Chen Xuan had sparred with this talented sword cultivator for over a hundred exchanges and deeply understood how well Feng Renyu’s name suited his fighting style—he was, in every sense, a "madman." Every sword stroke was an attack that disregarded his own defense, sacrificing self-preservation for aggression. Fortunately, as a martial cultivator, Chen Xuan possessed far superior defensive capabilities compared to a sword cultivator; even without activating his lightning-arc defensive flames, he could barely handle Feng Renyu’s strikes.
