Jiu Ling truly lived up to her reputation, instantly repelling Angelina and retreating. She was deservedly part of the top trio in the early Star Generals' lineup. However, the world was not lacking in tough fighters; on the contrary, there were countless of them, and among the top warriors that epitomized this fighting style was Revenge Shadow Rider, whose burst power was acknowledged as the world's best.
Of course, besides Jiu Ling, there was another tough fighter among those present, Hugo, from the God's Thorn Legion. Even though Hugo was just a Red Cloak and older in age, lacking any particular aptitude or potential value, one might wonder why such a person could attain the rank of Red Cloak at all. Was it merely battlefield experience? If just relying on battlefield experience could take one so far, the Federation would have been destroyed long ago.
