Zhang Chi's level of strength had always been appraised by Gu Youyou.
In Gu Youyou's eyes, Zhang Chi could only deal with ordinary Divine Ability Cultivators, and he would definitely lose against anyone stronger.
Zhang Chi felt the same way.
Sword Intent was akin to a weakened Divine Ability, so in fact, Zhang Chi was equivalent to a low-tier Divine Ability Cultivator.
His setup was lacking in basic attributes.
Each level advancement for a cultivator, besides adding some special abilities, also resulted in an improvement in the most basic abilities.
For example, in comparison between Spirit Soul and Divine Ability, Divine Ability Cultivators not only have an additional Divine Ability, but they also undergo qualitative changes in their divine soul strength, physical body strength, the power of the spells they cast, and so on.
