Those with internal energy, even if they are the lowest-tier martial artists, no matter how much they train, cannot be defeated by those without internal energy. They make up a vast majority of the martial force within Jianghu, and they eventually become third-rate martial artists with internal energy.
Those above this level have learned a relatively superior martial skill, possess internal energy cultivation and corresponding techniques. After prolonged cultivation, not only is their internal energy robust, but the power they unleash through their martial skills is also far greater than that of common third-rate martial artists with superficial techniques.
Once these individuals fully cultivate their martial skills to fruition, they become second-rate martial artists who form the foundation of the martial world and constitute an elite force.
They can easily handle third-rate martial artists and those with no internal energy at all.
