Lu Yuan suspected the Underground Alliance had inherited simplified knowledge from the Gear Civilization and arranged for Guo Dafeng to test its equipment in a wagered duel. As Guo fought Niu Ba, Lu Yuan identified the armor’s glyphs and judged the Underground Alliance’s cultivation and resources limited, leaving humanity confident it had assessed the alliance’s capabilities.
