At the same level, the difference between just entering and reaching the peak is significant, especially with the Celestial Dragon-Elephant Scripture. Look at Luo Lie at Body Refining Level Nine; he initially only reached the eighty-sixth layer, but at the peak, he reached the ninety-seventh layer. The gap is enormous. It’s clear that at Body Refining Level Ten, the difference would be even greater. This is why Luo Lie was pushed back and injured, coughing up blood.

As for martial techniques, they are also crucial.

The Dragon Duel Sovereign Fist is quite good, but relatively speaking, if it were a martial technique created by someone at the Impeccable Golden Body Stage or the Dao Sect, it would naturally be far superior to the Dragon Duel Sovereign Fist, like the Great Wheel King Seal that Luo Lie himself had used.

Considering these two points, Luo Lie indeed falls short compared to this assailant.
