When Manly Savage Xi Jian and the young Wu Xun first stepped onto the platform, Qin Hao had already seen the gap in their combat strength. Their auras alone revealed part of it.
Of course, the key was that as his cultivation and World Sword Domain improved, Qin Hao's perception had also grown far sharper than before.
He could clearly sense the Divine Body Power of Manly Savage Xi Jian and the terrifying divine strength within him.
If the young Wu Xun's speed or attack power had been a little greater, he might have barely managed to hold his own against Manly Savage Xi Jian.
Unfortunately...
He still fell short.
Manly Savage Xi Jian had sent Wu Xun flying with just one slash!
And that was with both his deliberate restraint and the formation's restrictions. Otherwise, if Xi Jian had gone all out, Wu Xun might have suffered Severe Wounding on the spot.
"Even people at the same cultivation realm can have vastly different combat strength. So this is Manly Savage Xi Jian."
Lu Jingxuan marveled at Xi Jian's strength, but Qin Hao's perception shocked him even more.
When everyone else had doubted Xi Jian, Qin Hao had already gauged his strength.
In other words...
Qin Hao is probably much stronger than even Manly Savage Xi Jian.
Lu Jingxuan's heart jolted, and he immediately grasped the crucial point.
Otherwise, Qin Hao could never have determined that Manly Savage Xi Jian would defeat Wu Xun.
That was only possible if Qin Hao's strength far surpassed his.
But Qin Hao had said nothing, so Lu Jingxuan could hardly bring it up himself. He drew a deep breath, suppressed the storm-tossed waves in his heart, and turned his gaze back to the platform ahead.
All around the platform.
