    The Chinese descriptor is 几 已可. I could be wrong, but I believe it means "can almost [be described as...]".

    Obviously Duan Yu isn't quite peerless in IE abundance. The Xiaoyao Pai elders and Sweeper Monk almost certainly had more at that time.

    So, if I'm right, the translation should be more like: "the phrases 'shocking the ancient...' and 'peerless under heaven' can almost be used to describe him"

    The second part is kind of besides the point though. He went from below-LMC to reaching Great-level within a few months (or weeks??) of eating snake bladder and practicing HIS with big bird. When he comes out, he's defeating not one, but TWO, Great-level fighters with his Glorious New-Found... something! Who needs Beiming Shengong, or being hit on the chest while fire deviating, or being trapped between two mega-masters who are trying to kill each other in an ice chamber, when you can eat snake bladder and spar with big bird and substitute for 40 years of Great-becoming progress!

    LHC and RWX were both miserable at times from dealing with foreign internals in their bodies.

    And then you have Duan Yu, who suffered nothing from the mediocre internals that he leeched
    "Nothing" is kind of an understatement for almost dying.
