Liu Zhigang is China's greatest warrior

Due to China's unique ranking system, Liu Zhigang is a 7-star hunter, which translates to an S rank. Liu Zhigang is also the #2 ranked National Level Hunter in the world, behind only Thomas Andre. That said, Liu Zhigang's exploits far surpass anything Thomas Andre accomplishes in the original timeline.

In the Japanese Crisis story, Liu Zhigang was powerful enough to kill a giant without breaking a sweat. A weapons master, supremely fast and stronger than almost any hunter in the world, Liu Zhigang is extremely strong – but he is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to overpowered S-Rank Hunters in Solo Leveling.

Sung Il-Hwan is even stronger than national level hunters

The ranking system did not exist when Sung Il-Hwan disappeared during a dungeon raid. By the time he came out a full decade later, Sung Il-Hwan had not only grown to become an official S-Rank, his power greatly surpassed even National Level Hunters. During the Monarch's War story arc, Sung Il-Hwan is strong enough to fight both Rakan and Sillad at the same time.

That said, fighting two monarchs at once proves too much for Sung Il-Hwan, and ends up killing him in the original Solo Leveling the timeline. In the revised Solo Leveling: Ragnarok timeline, Sung Il-Hwan is strong enough where the Outer Gods cannot affect him, something that even the National Level Hunters failed to withstand. Sung Il-Hwan is easily the strongest ruler ship in the series.
