The battle of proving one's path is, in a certain sense, even more dangerous than the clash of spiritual power, because physical confrontations can recover from damage, and if one obtains some rare treasures, the recovery can be accelerated. However, a slip in spiritual power clashes can have a significant impact on the soul. Issues with the soul are more sensitive and acute, and are harder to handle and resolve. Yet, proving the way is even harsher, with the victor able to step on the defeated and reach the pinnacle, while the defeated finds themselves in a permanent shadow, essentially losing the opportunity to prove the way again.

"I, Chen Ru, prove the path today in this place!"
