Faced with Sammy's question, Tristan didn't give a direct answer. Instead, he said, "I don't know how strong the Heaven tier experts you mentioned are. The person who taught me martial arts told me that you can never judge an opponent's strength with your eyes alone. You have to engage them in combat and feel it for yourself. So, I can't give you an accurate answer as to whether I can defeat them or not."
Tristan wasn't lying; this statement was indeed told to him by Mr. Jordy.
On the day Tristan was released from prison, Mr. Jordy gave Tristan a piece of advice.
Never underestimate the heroes of the world.
So, Tristan learned to lie low, to endure, and to rely on his own understanding of his opponents.
Tristan understood a fundamental truth: you can never truly know one person through another person.
