So in some ways, the laws of the Ulnas Ring were not entirely without merit.
At the very least, the Ulnas Ring Law helped him to shield from a great deal of malice from the wizards of the Ulnas Ring.
Noland Lee was particularly concerned about the title "Transcendent-level."
In the magic teaching materials, the wizards had differentiated a "Transcendent-level" between "Saint Tier" and "Star-level," specifically used to refer to special Saint Tier Wizards who could become Star Witches at any moment and were much stronger than ordinary Saint Tier Wizards.
In a way, Noland Lee's practice of maintaining a First-level water standard was somewhat similar to that of a Transcendent Wizard.
Both deliberately suppressed their own wizard tier for some reason, focusing instead on enhancing their combat capabilities.
Generally speaking, it was not uncommon for a Transcendent Wizard to take on three ordinary Saint Level Combat Wizards in a duel.
This was what the books claimed.
