Hao Qi waved his hand helplessly and said, "As far as I know, very few people are able to erupt inner force. Even when the body is trained to its absolute limit, the chance of triggering it is tiny. Besides, aren't we martial artists and knights supposed to keep a low profile and avoid drawing unwanted attention? Perhaps that's why."
The officer and the surrounding soldiers were suddenly enlightened. They even helped Hao Qi find a reason for why he had only appeared now: Hao Qi must have been one of those reclusive martial artists who trained bitterly in secret, staying holed up at home until long after the Cataclysm before finally stepping outside. People's imaginations were truly terrifying. Hao Qi hadn't explained why he appeared here, but these soldiers had already filled in all the blanks for him.
Although many questions remained, the priority was not to investigate those matters, but first to verify Hao Qi's combat effectiveness. Even though Hao Qi had claimed he could kill everyone present within five seconds before they could even pull a trigger, that was just talk; the reality would depend on the upcoming actual combat.
