Understatement

A single match ended in an even shorter time than imagined.

It boiled down to the difference in experience and methods.

An example would be the battle between disciples of the Heavenly Artisan lineage and Elixir Peak.

The result was determined when the Heavenly Artisan lineage disciple revealed a spiritual item shield.

Although the nine-section bamboo staff of Elixir Peak wasn't bad, it could not break through the spiritual item shield.

Without magic treasures, in the end, the disciple from Elixir Peak was defeated by an item alchemist who used more spiritual items.

Was that fair?

It, naturally, was not. By definition, a battle between an elixir alchemist and an item alchemist was unfair.

An item alchemist had more spiritual items and magic items.

An elixir alchemist would not even have time to consume elixirs before they were completely suppressed by their opponent.

Such was the battle forum. Everything was fair game.
