Rooting experts beating foundation experts wasn't a surprising feat. It was so normal that it had become an iron-clad rule of the cultivation world.
However, victories could come in many shapes, suggesting varying degrees of superiority. The gap between foundation and rooting experts was relatively small after all. Cecilia might have lacked a full set of techniques, especially worthy of her level, but Liam had still endured a beating.
The four burly men looked to have a complete foundation, good training, and even martial arts, but two of them had instantly collapsed. Blood was also leaking from their mouths.

Liam had seen those opponents converging on him, and he had been fast enough to react without employing martial arts. His Qi mastery allowed as much. The problems lay elsewhere.
