Just the Beginning

Su Junyu's opinion could not be called wrong. At least, from his perspective, it was absolutely right.

Ever since Wang Qi had dragged him into this mess, Su Junyu had naturally taken on the task of "promoting cultivation methods"—in other words, being a "male publicist." He had a wide circle of acquaintances. Though he could not be called worldly and polished, he at least made people like him. And unlike Wang Qi, that bizarre fellow born as a "transmigrator + mortal," Su Junyu was a genuine second-generation immortal, quite familiar with the ways of the world within the Immortal Dao.

But for the current Wang Qi, this suggestion was somewhat superfluous.

Modern methods did not judge superiority by combat power—at least, not below the Primordial Spirit stage.

As for those above the Primordial Spirit stage, combat strength depended more on the nature of one's Primordial Spirit. Among the many factors determining a Primordial Spirit Grandmaster's combat power, "Primordial Spirit nature" carried the greatest weight, with "cultivation method" following close behind, both far outweighing "combat experience."

And Primordial Spirit nature and cultivation method were tied to a person's capacity for thought, learning, and research.

In other words, the better the researcher, the stronger they were.

—Needless to say, look at modern methods. To this day, they had never held any arena tournaments or martial arts assemblies. That alone was enough to show that, below Core Formation, fighting was not considered real ability.

Clearly, for Wang Qi, being "first among his peers" at the Golden Core stage was no longer such an important title. No one would care if it were spoken aloud. It was like how no one in the scientific world cared whether you had ranked first in your university final exams.

The fame brought by "incompleteness" would surpass everything
