To a certain extent, both Gao Xu and Duan Xiaofei were right.
Three-star professionals could not defeat four-star professionals, and low-level professionals could not defeat high-level professionals. At least, that had never happened throughout history. Even if it was not an ironclad rule, it was enough to prove just how wide the gap between high-level and low-level professionals was.
Gao Xu alone could effortlessly sweep through the entire private army under Xu Qianqian, easily defeating any number of three-star professionals with his fists and feet. He did not even need to draw his blade, much less use Demonization. He simply had no need for it.
Therefore, it was truly incredible that Su Ming could contend with a four-star Hunter as a three-star Hunter without falling behind.
However, there was naturally a reason for this.
The astonishing, almost cheating strength of the Silver Arm was indeed an important factor. But at most, it was a trump card—a killing move that allowed Su Ming to surpass his limits and injure an invincible opponent. It was not what allowed him to stand on equal footing with a high-level professional.
What truly allowed Su Ming to contend with a high-level Hunter was the Spiritual Power and spiritual perception that had already awakened his Pattern Sight and were approaching the high level.
Without it, Su Ming could not keep up with a high-level Hunter's movements.
Without it, Su Ming could not react to a high-level Hunter's movements.
Only by properly reacting to and keeping up with the high-level Hunter's movements could Su Ming use the strength of his right hand, which surpassed the limits of his physical level, to fight his opponent.
Otherwise, Su Ming could only become a living target. His right hand would never keep up with his opponent's movements, much less resist
