Ye Jun didn't win the duel, but he won the battle. He knew that was mostly because of his high comprehension that gave him enlightenment mid-battle while watching Sun Tianlan, otherwise it would have been hard to defeat a Sword Genius like Sun Tianlan.
Not to mention he also felt that she had only recently advanced to the Ninth-Stage Qi Condensation Realm. She was more powerful, but her control over Qi and techniques felt off to him.
In comparison, he had it far better because of his passive Qi Control, Grand Genesis Foundation Sutra and multiple battles after attaining the Ninth-Stage.
As if that wasn't enough, he also had Adaptation.
Even then, she proved to be a dangerous opponent. Once she stabilized herself in this new stage, she would be a terrifying enemy to face.
'Too bad I won't be there to see it. I'd like to battle her again.'
