Liam knew what his opponent was talking about but had to disagree. He probably was one of the few rooting experts in the entire world who could wield that opinion with confidence.
After all, Liam had actually fought a branching expert to the death. He knew that his black Qi was inferior to the superiority that the higher stage provided.
Liam also hadn't seen his black Qi as strange. It was undoubtedly powerful, but rooting experts already learned to summon more of their dantian's nature. He had also fought at Anastasia and Lancelot's side, so he almost took that ability for granted.
However, the tall man's reaction shed light on that misconception. The ability to transform the Qi so thoroughly, or rather, to show its true face, was rarer than Liam believed at the rooting stage.
Truth was, Liam had lived among elites for the most part. The Pale Moon Sect was one of the best environments that Outer Circle had to offer, and he hadn't spent long on his own before meeting Lancelot.
