Posturing required skill, but there was also a need for strength.
If not for Feng Yuanlin's shield being sufficiently hard, allowing him to withstand fifty-six of Mill's punches, everything would only be theory craft.
Therefore, Shi Xiaobai was very pleased with Feng Yuanlin's performance and he was actually somewhat surprised.
This youth that looked rather unreliable was rather shocking when he turned serious, especially as a result of the stark contrast he had from his stone-like appearance.
From the looks of it, the top ten rookies in the official forecast were worth their salt. Of course, it definitely had something to do with the seven other Transcendent Bravehearts like Mill not living up to their reputations.
After the battle, Mill's reputation was ruined. In Transcendence, where the strong were considered supreme, it was an indelible stain on him for losing to another race.
