"Transcendence Realm Fourth Layer, huh?"
"I didn't expect someone as monstrous as you in this year's second batch."
"However, being both at the Fourth Layer, I think you're probably not my match."
From the group of eleven, another stepped forward.
He was a third-year student. Lu Xiao recalled for a few seconds, his name should be Liu Yu—he had introduced himself before.
"Why couldn't I beat you if we're both at the Fourth Layer?" Lu Xiao was, indeed, curious about Liu Yu's claim.
He sounded very confident.
"I admit, you have a strong talent for cultivating, much stronger than mine."
"But real combat isn't just about levels of Realm."
"Combat experience, reflexes, control over Inner Qi, those are also decisive factors."
"I've been at the First Academy for three years, and you've just arrived. If we're at the same Fourth Layer and I can't beat you, what would be the point of the Academy?"
Lu Xiao nodded, Liu Yu's words made quite a bit of sense.
