Gun Master Xie Yi's strength still somewhat exceeded Mu Yuan's expectations.
Much like how bone lords had Deathbone and Guaner existing in a world of difference, the gap between gun masters could similarly resemble the Sky Abyss.
Fire Powder and the others were merely newcomers, at best rookies who were about to graduate.
Yet Xie Yi was far beyond the level of a veteran master.
Master-level skill, along with several expert-level and proficient-level skills.
Li Erniu, Tian Yuan City's strongest veteran master, only has expert-level forging skills. As for the various crafts Isroya possesses, most are merely proficient or expert level.
Of course, both Li Erniu and Isroya were extremely young.
Isroya had lived another life, but in her previous life she was merely a young girl in her early twenties.
Master Xie Yi possessed weathered eyes and thick stubble, instantly marking him as an experienced middle-aged and elderly man who was no longer young.
Even so, a master-level skill is still beyond expectations.
Any skill ascending to the master-level is a one-in-ten-thousand chance. Even if a person possesses sufficient resources and a long time, lacking talent will still prevent them from stepping into the master domain. They could spend their entire life failing to achieve it.
Yet Xie Yi came from a humble background, never enjoying any decent resources, yet still stepped into the realm of masters.
Mu Yuan could only say that if Xie Yi's master-level skill became known to the outside world, then the lords attracted would be far beyond people like the Golden Duke and Yellow Sand Lord.
Even the top-tier lords might enter the fray.
A master-level skill paired with the Gun Master profession class—this was simply too perfect.
Not only that, Xie Yi's master-level skill is not firearm modification, but mechanical modification.
