The strength of Xie Yi, the Gunner Master, still somewhat exceeded Mu Yuan's expectations.
Just as there is a vast difference between the Skeleton Lord Dead Bone and 'Bone Two', so too can there be an abyss-like gap between one Gunner Master and another.
Those with Gunpowder are just Greenhands, at best probably still apprentices.
Xie Yi, however, far exceeded the rank of a mere senior craftsman.
"Master-level skills, along with several at the expert and mastery levels."
"Master Li Erniu, the strongest in Tianyuan City, has a forging skill that's only at the expert level. Isloa possesses various crafts, mostly at the mastery and expert levels."
Of course, both Li Erniu and Isloa are very young.
Isloa lived another life, but in her past life, she was no more than a young girl in her twenties.
Master Xie Yi had eyes filled with the weight of years, and a dense stubble, clearly a middle-aged man no longer young.
