Chapitre 407: Cut Some Slack?

Why did they always say that real combat could sharpen the fighting capabilities of an elementalist?

It was because in real combat, one would encounter various types of elementalists and fighting styles. In real combat, one would also face bizarre and unpredictable situations that forced him or her to progress, think faster, and react quicker. As long as one could survive real combat, he or she would gain a new level of understanding toward the type of enemy he or she had just defeated.

Life-and-death situations could unleash one’s potential, allowing him or her to make incredible moves, display wondrous creativity, and possess unimaginable endurance. During peacetime, one could never achieve these.

These were all because of fear, intense fear. Mankind had an instinctive fear of death. Whether it was a man or woman, an elderly or a youth, a genius or a mediocre individual, it made no difference. All of them had an instinctive fear of death.
