But the receptionist waved his hand impatiently, his tone dismissive.
"I know, I know. Strong in actual combat, you say? I've heard that plenty of times."
The words had barely left his mouth when another disciple in the Force Integration Realm, who was lined up behind Jiang Che, spoke up.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother! I'm really strong in actual combat, too!"
The receptionist scoffed and said to the two of them,
"Nine out of ten Force Integration cultivators claim they're strong in actual combat! So what if you can really fight? Someone in the Bone Forging Realm doesn't even have to lift a finger. Their Realm alone is enough to scare off those petty gangs! And you? Even if you can fight off three or five of them, trouble will just keep coming back! The merchants want peace and quiet. Who do you think they're going to choose?"
Jiang Che was left speechless, unable to utter a word.
The reality of the situation left him with no rebuttal.
