Hua Buzhi's current strength level is actually not high. When he met Chen Tang in the Great Kyushu Realm three or four years ago, he was at the Twelfth Stage, and now he's merely at the Thirteenth Stage.
As for his Protector, Wu Que, who was initially a Higher Twelfth Stage, he is now only at the Higher Thirteenth Stage...
As the Young Master of a Starry Sky Great Clan, Hua Buzhi's relative weakness is due to his chosen path. He is steadily advancing, slower in the early stages, but once his foundation is deeply rooted, his life evolution speed will be faster later.
However, among his personal guard, there are four Semi-Emperor level guards at the Higher Fourteenth Stage, whose strength should not be underestimated.
As the Young Master of a Starry Sky Great Clan, his status is not equal to that of Dongsheng Empress, so his entourage naturally ranks lower.
