For Li Chen, this battle was clearly not a difficult one; in fact, one could even say that dealing with such martial artists had become rather simple.
That's right, it was because he had grown stronger.
Stronger than ever before.
After his encounter with Yu Manfang, Li Chen had come to truly understand how vast the gap was between a genuine Earth-level expert and someone at their level, the Profound rank.
Even with his trump cards fully unleashed, all he could manage was a sneak attack that slightly injured Yu Manfang. In a direct fight, he was still at an absolute disadvantage.
It was at that moment Li Chen realized his strength was still insufficient.
He wanted to become stronger; he was determined to grow even more powerful. And Elder Ji had provided him with that opportunity.
After learning the systematic method for utilizing True Qi, while his True Qi itself hadn't grown much, Li Chen could distinctly feel himself becoming stronger.
