When Li Chen reached for his waist, Liang Qi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly laughed.
However, his laughter carried a hint of bitterness.
"So, I'm not even qualified to make you draw your blade."
In Liang Qi's heart, it felt as though something had suddenly crumbled.
All along, he had believed himself to be a true powerhouse among the Profound Level. Amid the praises of others, even he started to think that the gap between himself and an Earth-level expert might not be that wide.
But it wasn't until his battle with Li Chen that he abruptly realized—he was far from as powerful as he imagined.
The Earth Level was, and would always remain, an insurmountable threshold.
Li Chen's strength had opened his eyes.
Even he couldn't force Li Chen to draw his blade. How laughable that he had always assumed Li Chen's greatest strength was his unarmed combat, completely ignoring the blade hanging at his waist.
