Without the power of qi and blood, the gap between Lesser Star Position and Greater Star Position martial artists was still quite obvious.
This was because advancing to the Greater Star Position put the body through even more powerful tempering, improving one's physical qualities by a greater margin.
But once a Lesser Star Position martial artist could use the power of qi and blood while a Greater Star Position martial artist could not—
The gap between them would not only be instantly narrowed; it could even be surpassed.
For example, right now...
Boom!

Yet even upon reaching the Initial Star Position, the qi and blood they circulated and used was limited to within their bodies.
To release qi and blood outside the body?
One had to at least reach the Lesser Star Position. Even then, ordinary Lesser Star Position martial artists, though capable of releasing qi and blood after reaching that realm—
Could hardly use it to launch any attacks. At most, like Qin Shaofeng before, they could expend a great deal of qi and blood to knead it into a ball for an attack.

But this kind of attack method was not especially powerful either, and it also consumed a great deal of qi and blood.
Strictly speaking, using externally
