Great Sir was merely a Fourth Order powerhouse.
Fourth Order.
As long as you had luck and talent, you could slowly reach it by relying on time.
Very strong.
But not beyond reach.
But one step further...
Fifth Tier.
Even in the later Supernatural World, a Fifth Tier powerhouse absolutely deserved to be called a strong figure. They were either overlords who reigned supreme over a region or the backbone of Major Factions.
It was just that reaching the Fourth Order was easy, while advancing to the Fifth Tier was difficult.
Even a hundred Fourth Order powerhouses might not produce a single breakthrough.
Take Wu Difeng, the person in charge of Blue Star for the "New Humans," for example. He had been stuck at Peak Fourth Order for many years without moving an inch.
Was he lacking resources?
Of course not.
No matter how much the "New Humans" were suppressed, they still had more than enough to spare for him.
Was he lacking talent?
That was not the case either.
The supernatural power within him was not weak. If it had to be rated, it could reach at least Class A. In theory, Class A talent was enough to reach the Eighth Tier.
And yet.
He simply could not advance to the Fifth Tier.
All he could do was continue tempering himself.
And now.
This Gui Jizhen was roughly at the same realm as Wu Difeng. Both were at Peak Fourth Order, just one step away from the Fifth Tier.
Of course.
One step away.
Sometimes, that was the distance between heaven and earth.
It was entirely possible to remain unable to take that step for decades.
Even so.
For Gui Jizhen to reach Peak Fourth Order at such a young age meant that his strength could not be underestimated.
