There were four rooting experts on the scene, and none was even remotely average. That mission had summoned the six Sects' true elites, so nothing Liam had done went unnoticed or unanswered.
The untrained eye might have linked Liam's swift victory to his superior items. After all, he wielded a rank 2 weapon, and not an ordinary one.
However, no such misconceptions arose. None of the four rooting experts even thought of giving Liam's weapons any glory. They simply didn't deserve it.
Liam had been faster than Hugh, meaningfully so, while not relying on martial arts. Since the two were at the same level, that significant gap couldn't come from Qi mastery alone.
At once, everyone understood that Liam possessed something greater than a low-grade circulation technique.
The finding was stunning. Theoretically, a low-grade circulation technique was the most foundation experts could endure. Their meridians simply weren't ready for higher amounts of Qi yet.
