Ulpia was truly incredible, but Alexander didn't fall too behind. He had to give up on his idea of saving power and proving himself superior with his sole body, but that decision didn't affect his world.
Ulpia wasn't relying only on her body anymore. She was expressing the full power of her world, so Alexander could do the same to prove his superiority. Still, he had to accept that he couldn't surpass her techniques.
Alexander understood that Ulpia's hard work led to results far deeper than mere physical prowess. Her moves escaped reason. Her attacks were so fast and powerful that Alexander struggled to consider her only as a privileged cultivator.
Ulpia really seemed powerful enough to claim a spot at the sky's peak. She wasn't Caesar, and her influence didn't involve deep realms or meanings. Yet, her individual strength was genuinely unfathomable.
