"You both did very well."
Under the gaze of every member of the Akaba Clan, Akaba Kukan praised his two sons from the head seat as they stood before him.
"Tenzenn has already reached the Magus's Sixth Tier. Given enough time, reaching the Magus's final, Eighth Tier will certainly be no problem for him. Narukami is also very impressive. Although his Magus level is lower than Tenzenn's, his technical precision is even greater."
Indeed, compared with Akaba Tenzenn, who had reached the Magus's Sixth Tier, Luo Zhen was still only at the Fourth Tier. But just as Akaba Tenzenn had said earlier, a Magus's level represented only the difficulty and height of their achievement, not their actual strength.
Suppose Luo Zhen's "Telekinesis" reached the point where he could manipulate even a mountain, lifting one up and hurling it at Akaba Tenzenn. Would Tenzenn still have any way to deal with it?
The answer was no.
Therefore, although the higher a Magus's level was, the stronger they generally were, having a lower level did not mean that they were weak.
At most, the Eight Tiers were simply eight kinds of magical skills. Some people learned only one of them, yet became invincible beneath the heavens. Others mastered all eight, yet were often defeated by opponents of a lower level.
Maguses could even choose which of these skills to learn according to their own circumstances.
For example, Luo Zhen could simply skip the Fifth Tier and learn the Sixth-Tier skill, "Heavenly Eye." That was entirely feasible.
In summary, Akaba Tenzenn's level was higher than Luo Zhen's, but Luo Zhen was stronger than Tenzenn in all four skills—"Telekinesis," "Spiritual Vision," "Reinforced Body," and "Magic Defense." His overall strength was greater, so naturally, he would not lose to Akaba Tenzenn.
Of course, Akaba Tenzenn
