In other words, unless Mirel can elevate her tier to Star Shining, or at least Extraordinary peak, she won't be able to offer Li Zheng any significant help in combat.
As it stands, her effectiveness in battle is not as good as Sakura's.
After all, Sakura specializes in control abilities, which don't require a high basic tier, just a battle sense that can keep up.
"Not bad, not bad, it's already quite good," Li Zheng casually encouraged her, "How long have you been training?"
What he was more concerned about was how long Mirel had been practicing to become so skilled. Those substantial whip shadows weren't something just anyone with Whip Mastery or whip specialization could produce; it was somewhat akin to mastering Swordsmanship to the extent of Sword Qi.
"About seventy years?" Mirel tilted her little head, appearing a bit unsure herself.
Oh, seventy years?
That's not too bad, it shows her talent isn't much higher than mine...
