This is a world where the strong prey on the weak.
The weak must accept their place.
Li Chen knew very well that while he wasn't weak, he was far from being truly strong. Thus, he possessed a sharp sense of self-awareness.
When facing opponents beyond his capability, his initial thought wasn't how to fight to the death, but how to flee successfully.
Even though he appeared to be fighting desperately on the surface, his mind was relentlessly searching for any means of escape. Even the smallest chance, he wouldn't let slip by.
Because only by surviving could he grow stronger, and only then could he avenge himself.
Therefore, he successfully escaped from Yu Manfang's clutches back then.
In the marketplace, by exploiting the smallest opening he found through the Netherworld, he also managed to get away unscathed.
This was the mindset of the weak.
But those few people evidently lacked the awareness of being weak.
