Temple of rocks.

In this world, fast and slow are always opposite!

A world champion who runs 100 meters is of course very fast, but compared to a leopard or a wild horse who is good at running, there will be a certain gap in speed and long-lasting ability...

And leopards or wild horses are naturally very fast...

But no matter how fast the two are, they cannot be compared with high-speed trains...

After all, fast and slow are opposites and not absolutes!

The same goes for...

The same is true for both strong and weak...

In battle, speed is a very important indicator!

The faster the side, the more advantage it can always gain in the battle!

They can have a faster start, they can have a stronger backhand, they can easily avoid the enemy's fatal blow, or they can easily give the enemy a fatal blow!

In fact, not to mention being in battle, even in various competitive sports, even in the world of e-sports, the faster side will always have an absolute advantage...

And in actual combat, this point is reflected even more vividly!

In battle, having faster speeds than the enemy often means having absolute first-hand advantage, backhand advantage, and all theoretical advantages!

Because in a sense, speed itself also represents a powerful force!

Whether it is speed or strength, it is essentially two types of attributes that are connected. If the power is strong, the speed will naturally be faster. Similarly, if the speed is fast, the power that can be generated will naturally be stronger...

Speed ​​in the pure sense or power in the pure sense actually does not exist. Power can increase the speed, and if the same speed is strong, it can also increase the power...

The faster the speed, the stronger the power, and the greater the destructive power it can produce...

Of course, although in a sense, speed and force often show a proportional state, the way speed and force damage is different...

The damage caused by force is often a large-scale explosion damage, a damage form similar to shock waves. The damage caused by speed is often cut or puncture as the main damage mode. The former tends to be large-scale damage, while the latter tends to be small-scale high-precision damage...

Just like in martial arts novels, people with strong power always tend to use fists or heavy weapons. Such weapons can maximize the effect of power and cause damage to the greatest extent. On the contrary, people with strong speed tend to use sharp weapons, such as thin swords, slender daggers, or even embroidered needles controlled by thin threads, which are speed-type weapons...

Of course, in general battles, the faster side will always have a greater advantage, and there is no doubt that this is...

Even if you don’t consider the bonus of speed to power, simply fast speed is often enough to make one side invincible place, at least you can easily escape if you can’t beat it…

Of course, the most important thing is that when one party's speed level forms an essential crush on the other party, it will be completely irresistible...

Yes, level crushing!

The exchange between speed and power is essentially based on the premise that there is no level difference. When both sides are on the same level, fighting styles that tend to be on the speed or on the strength will often not have a decisive impact on the outcome of the battle...

However, when the levels of both sides themselves are not on the same level...

Crushing at speeds beyond the limit can often produce very terrible destructive power!

Let me give you a simple example...

When a person fights naked, his combat power is of course weaker than when he holds a dagger...

However, although the combat power will be weaker, it is not a gap in the absolute sense...

Theoretically, even if a person with bare hands is not necessarily facing an inevitable failure when facing an enemy holding a weapon, there is still the possibility of counter-killing the enemy...

The reason is actually very simple...

Because the existence of weapons, in a sense, only strengthens the combat power of one side, but does not fundamentally change the position of both sides...

Just like in reality, a tall and strong person does not have an absolute advantage when facing short and flexible enemies. Although strong body will certainly allow a person to gain a certain advantage in one-on-one battle, this advantage is often not enough to crush the enemy...

More often, the battle between ordinary people often depends on the mentality and ruthlessness of both sides to determine the relationship between the winners and losers. This is why gangsters can fight more than ordinary people...

At this level, stronger power, faster speed, or even holding some cold weapons will only strengthen one side's combat power, but will not truly determine the strength of both sides!

After all, no matter what kind of person you are, you always have two shoulders and one head. There are always many vital parts on your body. Any vital parts that are attacked will always be injured and will always be painful. If the injury is too serious, you will always die...

Under this premise, the battle between individuals is often difficult to measure simply by physical fitness or whether they carry cold weapons...

After all, most of the time, the strength of this individual itself is essentially only relative rather than absolute...

If you want to achieve the absolute crushing in the true sense, you must have a much faster speed than the opponent, and have much stronger strength than the opponent, and even have a stronger ability to fight and a stronger body...

It is necessary to truly achieve all-round crushing to be considered as the absolute meaning of the gap in ability!

In fact, this is also the reason why warriors are always rampant in the era of cold weapons. Because by learning martial arts, they can obtain actual combat power that can crush ordinary people. They are stronger than ordinary people, faster speed, stronger physical strength, and more explosive power. Therefore, in one-on-one battles, they can often obtain advantages that are absolutely meaningful. In the final analysis, this advantage is actually a kind of crushing on the level of combat power!

The so-called heroes who violate the ban by martial arts are essentially based on the fact that the knights themselves have much more powerful power than ordinary people!

However, in modern society, the emergence of firearms and firearms has gradually become lonely. Of course, it is not so much a loneliness, but rather a gradually becoming more secretive. It is beyond the sight of most ordinary people and can be retained. Most of the people who can be retained are nothing more than various hyped stars. Most of the time, martial arts has become a so-called performance in the eyes of ordinary people...

The most fundamental reason why firearms can crush martial arts is also the crushing force and speed!

Warriors have a body that is much stronger than ordinary people, which makes them have much faster speed and much stronger explosive power than ordinary people. These two also make ordinary people have almost no chance of winning when facing warriors...

Because warriors themselves are much stronger and faster than ordinary people, the most important thing is that their bodies are often far stronger than ordinary people. With bare hands and empty fists, a warrior who has achieved external skills can almost not be afraid of any attacks from ordinary people. Such as the golden bell cover iron shirt, after practicing to the depths, he can almost reach the level of immunity to ordinary people's attacks. As long as the opponent does not hold sharp cold weapons, it is almost difficult to cause direct damage to them...

If you stand and let you hit, you won’t be able to kill you, but I can kill you with a gentle punch!

This is the most intuitive difference between warriors and ordinary people!

Although the two belong to humans in a sense, the gap between them is enough to make people ignore this!

In fact, the fundamental reason why martial arts flourished in the past was this, because learning martial arts could make people stronger and essentially over others. This kind of power is a power that is not controlled by will, and it is an absolute power that belongs to oneself!

A powerful warrior can easily knock them down or even kill them when facing a siege of more than a dozen or even dozens of ordinary people. A powerful warrior can easily break out of the siege and kill the bloody path, or even kill these enemies. A powerful warrior can kill countless enemies among thousands of troops and take the head of an enemy general under the premise of wearing appropriate equipment!

A powerful warrior has a dragon's energy and is full of energy. Even when he is older, he will decay more slowly than ordinary people and enjoy a higher quality of life than ordinary people!

Of course, the most important thing is that in a world with imperfect legal order, one's own power can often directly control the survival or death of other people. For many people in the past, the essence of learning martial arts was to dominate the life and death of other people, and also to ensure that their own lives will not be easily dominated by others!

Even in the most desperate situation, those who learn martial arts will definitely find a glimmer of life in the situation!

Just like the heroes who were forced to go to Liangshan in Water Margin, perhaps in the eyes of readers, their experiences are very miserable, but from another perspective, if they do not have their own martial arts, they may not even be able to resist the final resistance. Being forced to become a bandit is naturally a very miserable thing. But if they are in desperate situations and do not even have the qualification to become a bandit, wouldn’t that be even more desperate?

Compared to ordinary people, warriors are always more able to dominate their own destiny, especially in the chaotic era, which is even more so...

However, this is the fundamental reason why martial arts gradually decline in the real world!

Because even if warriors practice martial arts, they cannot truly control their destiny as they did in the past!

If you are really trapped in a desperate situation, force often cannot solve the problem...

In fact, in most cases, force in the pure sense cannot have much effect in a highly orderly world!

In modern society, there are two fundamental reasons for the decline of martial arts...

The first of them is naturally that the judicial system of modern society is far more rigorous than in the past. In the past, a ranger killed people and robbed people was taken for granted. Even if it was an illegal act, there would be almost no constables to arrest people. As long as they were hiding their names or simply surrendering to a stronger backer, there would be no problems or troubles at all. Even in the era of some vassals fighting, killing itself was a matter of course. No one would be punished too much because of killing, because most of the people who are qualified to make sanctions are themselves killers...

Especially in troubled times...

There are many clichés. Even if the people in the government know that the clichés are full of wanted criminals, they will hardly spend time and effort to send troops to encircle and suppress them. Even when officials or bodyguards pass by, they often leave money to buy money in order not to cause trouble. In the past era, power itself was a kind of justice...

However, the real world is different!

Totally different!
