The reward for killing an Eight-leaf cultivator was 1,500 merit points, but the reward for killing a Nine-leaf cultivator was 4,000 merit points. That was more than twice the number of points.
According to the system's calculations, Chi Yao's reward was 5,000 merit points. In other words, Chi Yao was slightly stronger than a Nine-leaf cultivator!
When he recalled his experience in the 100,000-foot-deep abyss, he could not help but feel afraid despite his knowledge and experience. After all, if he did not have a Deadly Strike Card back then, he would have become Chi Yao's meal. Even after he had used half of his extraordinary power, Chi Yao did not seem to be affected much. Without the Deadly Strike Card as his trump card, the outcome would be predictable.
Compared to Chi Yao, the Imperial Tutor was, indeed, slightly weaker.
