HSK 7
⋯⋯，进而⋯⋯
Using '进而' to indicate a subsequent action of higher degree
Explanation
The structure '⋯⋯，进而⋯⋯' is used to express that an action happens first, and then leads to another action of a higher or deeper degree. '进而' means 'and then' or 'and from there', emphasizing the progression or escalation from the earlier step to the later one. For example, in the sentence '遇到困难不要回避，挺起身来向它挑战，进而战胜它' (When you meet difficulties, don't avoid them; stand up and challenge them, and from there defeat them), '进而' connects the act of challenging with the act of defeating, showing the second step is the escalated result of the first.
