Capítulo 1109: Weapons

Rui had seldom fought against weapon-oriented Martial Artists in his life. The reason for that was that they were quite rare barring the right circumstances. It took an extreme amount of brainwashing and conditioning for it to become the Martial Path of a Martial Artist.

Not only that but there were logistical constraints to their emergence as well, especially for weapons centered around a blade or sharpness. It took an extremely durable substance to withstand the full power of a Martial Artist through the tiny edge of the blade without breaking, cracking, or being damaged significantly.

The reason that humans could wield swords without such a problem was that the high-carbon steel used for normal swords had a tensile strength that far exceeded what humans were able to break. That was why there was no fear that such a blade would crumble in the middle of combat. Not even the strength of a thousand men could break such a tough alloy.

The same could not be said for Martial Artists.
