The discussion between Jouyi and Lin Yun wasn't complicated.
It was just that the information revealed was too shocking. This was like saying that this 5th Rank Great Mage was equal to a 9th Rank High Mage. This was truly preposterous. The first reaction of any regular person hearing this would be to burst out in laughter before praising the joke.
Even a fool would know that the gap between a 5th Rank Great Mage and a 9th Rank High Mage could be described as almost unbreachable. This wasn't something that skills or tactics could make up for. The difference in power between both sides was something set in stone, and there would be no fluke in such a battle.
But no one in the lobby of the Gilded Rose was laughing.
Because the one who said that was none other than the master of the Cloud Tower, the strongest Archmage, Star Sage Jouyi.
