God Emperor

the Second Prince, Zhang Ruochens biggest advantage was in speed. Thus, he had to get as close as possible to the Second Prince to get the upper hand. If he was further away, he would lose without doubt.

Zhang Ruochens physique and Way of Sword were all top-tier, but the Second Prince was no weakling either.

The Second Princes physique might not be comparable to the Five Elements Chaotic Body, but he was far above a regular Saint Body. His Way of Sword hadnt reached the Human Sword state, but he was still at the top of the Heart Integrated into Sword state. He couldnt control time or space, but he had the Suannis battle spirit. He could wipe out all the prides of his generation.

Zhang Ruochen was in the fourth realm of the Martial Way and had reached the Peak Realm four times. He had four more minor realms than other Monks.

However, cultivation of the Saintly Way was in the higher level and had far surpassed the Martial Way.

After reaching the Half-Saint Realm, the compound of four minor realms wasnt that much. It was as most the four steps from the middle of the second level to the later portion, then to the pinnacle and then beginning of the third level.
