Zhang Xiaoman also understood that the combat power of monsters couldn't simply be judged by the points they were worth, and when he fought them, the outcome would be affected by the methods he used.
For example, in today's battle, normally two Star Guards combined could match a werewolf monster, "Horror Claw," worth 15 points, but they got into trouble against a Mineral Essence worth only 6 points. This didn't mean the Star Guards were weak, but rather that they were countered by circumstance.
The fact that this Mineral Essence could bite through the incredibly hard Olharast Rock, while his own Burst Spirit Skill could only leave a white mark on it, yet at the same time, he could instantly kill monsters, already spoke volumes.
Real-life combat isn't the same as in games, winning isn't just about stacking attributes, many times it requires the right combination of attack methods.
