Noah is the master of the Dragon Domain, so naturally, he wouldn't recklessly destroy the carefully built experimental grounds. On the other hand, Uranos saw this as an alternative competition and test of his self-control.
Uranos was unwilling to fall behind in this aspect, doing his utmost to control his power, even if he got knocked away, he didn't want to affect the land below.
"No, you're not weak. You're actually quite good in my eyes; it's just that your grandfather is too powerful."
Noah gave a rather fair evaluation, but Uranos was clearly not satisfied.
"But in your eyes, I'm not even as good as my father."
"Of course, Tidel inherited the majority of your grandfather's power. Back in the day, Tidel was a genuine Near Saint; why would you think you could be stronger than your father?"
