These people might be the top elites. They were surely a bit older among the other disciples of this session. However, they were absolute elites. In fact, they weren’t much inferior to the heaven’s pride level experts. And, they could even force a heaven’s pride level expert to retreat if they were to join hands.
Every force like the True Martial University considered the time of more than a hundred years to calculate the capability of an expert. In fact, comparisons were often drawn between the older disciples of adjacent sessions. That was because the difference between the older disciples of different sessions wasn’t too big. This disparity was indeed quite evident in the beginning. But, it gets difficult to make breakthroughs after the passage of several decades. In fact, sometimes it takes more than ten years or even several decades. Hence, the gap between the older disciples becomes rather nonexistent at that point of time.
1. Just to clarify any possible doubts, Ye Xiwen has made a breakthrough into the Semi-Sage realm. The author has never specifically mentioned his new level in the previous chapters. He has condensed 800 principles, and that is enough to put him amongst the top ‘late stage semi-sage experts’. However, the truth is that his current level is ‘initial stage of semi-sage realm’.
That’s why these older experts were underestimating him. He appears as a semi-sage expert of initial stage to the others, but he actually has the strength of the ‘late stage of semi-sage realm’.
