As for Chu Fei, he was not putting on some mystical act. He was simply being cautious.
Having suddenly arrived in a completely unfamiliar world, no amount of caution was excessive.
Still, Chu Fei was ultimately unfamiliar with the Inner World's various detection methods, and he was exposed.
Seeing the other side charge forward, Chu Fei took a deep breath. "Forget it. Things aren't too bad yet. Let's fight. Turning around and running would be the worst choice. At a narrow pass, only the brave can win!"
Based on his initial assessment through perception, the opponent was "only" at the peak of 16.0, "that's all"!
