Chapter 125: Limits of Speed

Chapter 125: Limits of Speed

Translator: CKtalon

“Greater mass, greater speed—kinetic energy?” Miyagawa Meishin was in the stands as he listened in a daze.

He had also received scientific education, but he had been focused on kendo since he was a child. He sincerely studied many sword techniques and was now pursuing a higher realm in the sword. He had never thought of the relationship between kinetic energy and kendo.

However, Xu Jingming’s livestream today seemed to have opened a window for him to view his martial arts from a different angle.

Yes, mass and speed, Miyagawa Meishin thought to himself. I’ve always pursued speed, to the point of not wearing light armor. I wanted to maintain my advantage in speed and agility. But in fact, with my Transcendent body, even if I add some weight, it won’t affect my speed that much.

I can find an ‘optimal value’ to increase my mass while doing my best to reduce the impact on my speed. I can find a way to fight with my greatest strength. Miyagawa Meishin couldn’t help but reveal a look of delight.

Xu-kun, I have to thank you for giving me a new perspective on my swordsmanship. Miyagawa Meishin immediately started tipping and tipped 10 million Earth dollars. He felt that it was only right to tip so much for the gains he had received.

Many people were tipping Xu Jingming’s livestream.

“So that’s how it is.”

The virtual world has been launched for more than three months, and I spend at least five hours a day practicing diligently. I’ve studied many martial arts books and watched many educational livestreams. I’ve taken so many detours! All these training methods… The point is to grasp the key idea—greater mass and higher speed! This way, I can keep improving!

The longer one practiced, the more surprised they were.

This was like a lighthouse in the dark night—the lighthouse led them to their goal!

Many of them had practiced blindly in the past and had taken too many detours. They had even reached a bottleneck and found it difficult to improve.

This is the essence of a move’s might!

“Yeah, just like bullets and railguns—their might is kinetic energy. The key to kinetic energy is mass and speed.”

Countless people were excited.

A single line of truth beat 10,000 useless books! They made it sound profound, so much so that the person saying it didn’t necessarily understand it. Only true experts could explain their essence in a simple manner.

“Tipping.”

“I have to tip him.”

The tips in the livestream kept rising.

…

As the host of the livestream, Xu Jingming could clearly see every tip.

The number one tipper is Miyagawa Meishin—10 million Earth dollars? Xu Jingming was surprised. The entire livestream had received more than 90 million in tips; Xu Jingming was surprised that Miyagawa Meishin had tipped so much alone.

Master also tipped 1,000,000? Xu Jingming saw that his master, Liu Hai, was ranked 12th. This made him quite happy; this meant that his master agreed with his martial arts teaching.

Xu Jingming also scanned the countless comments.

“Many people are asking how to increase the mass and improve the speed.” Xu Jingming smiled and said, “In fact, many people have trained in some methods in the three months since the virtual world’s launch. Some methods are also useful. Of course, my first class that dives into the details will be uploaded to the Martial Arts Center. When that happens, detailed training methods will be provided.”

“After all, it’s only a livestream today! The course uploaded to the Martial Arts Center will be more detailed and comprehensive,” Xu Jingming said.

As he spoke, he read the comments.

“Some experts in the livestream are also asking—” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “The mass and speed at which one releases can be very high, but in combat… it feels like they can’t unleash their full might. This is talked about in other classes. For example, how can I 100% transmit the might released to the enemy?

“On the other hand, how do I deflect the enemy’s might while defending? This is the technique of force deflection!

Xu Jingming smiled and said, “The technique for might transmission, the technique for force deflection, and so on are all talked about in the subsequent classes. This is just the most basic first lesson in martial arts. At the very least, you can unleash enough might.”

“If your moves are soft and lack strength, you will have lost from the beginning,” Xu Jingming said.

“You want me to demonstrate with a weapon?” Xu Jingming read the comments and tapped lightly, displaying a battle scene. “Actually, everyone can understand after watching my past battle videos.”

“This is China’s first Divine battle, which I participated in after the virtual world’s launch.” Xu Jingming pointed at the combat projection where he executed Eight Extremities Tiger Pounce, sending Sun Yuting flying with his shield that resembled the two giant paws of a tiger. “This is Eight Extremities Tiger Pounce. My speed is explosive, and my mass is 100%. Combining my body weight with the total weight of my armor and weapons… Along with my explosive speed, I struck out with my shield! Even though my opponent defended with a shield, they will still be seriously injured!”

“Another example is this final move I used to defeat the last enemy, Gao Chong.” Xu Jingming played the video.

Gao Chong wore heavy armor and charged ferociously, but Xu Jingming also charged forward. As the two collided, Xu Jingming’s spear penetrated Gao Chong’s heavy armor and killed him.

“My opponent, Gao Chong, is wearing heavy armor, and his mass is very high! He’s also very fast, and his mobility is very high,” Xu Jingming said. “I had also charged forward, and my mobility was also very high.

“Both sides collided—this collision isn’t just one person’s kinetic energy, but two people’s kinetic energy,” Xu Jingming said. “With my strength back then, I couldn’t pierce through the heavy armor with a full-powered strike. But when the kinetic energy of two people collides, and Gao Chong’s kinetic energy is much stronger than mine… What I need to do is make the kinetic energy produced act upon Gao Chong 100%. This is very difficult, but I did it.”

“The kinetic energy from both parties traveled along the spear to the tip of the spear, piercing through the heavy armor and Gao Chong’s body,” Xu Jingming said. “Only then did I defeat the powerful enemy back then.”

In the stands.

Gao Chong blushed slightly.

A powerful enemy?

He was indeed a powerful enemy against Xu Jingming back then, but the gap between them was much greater now. He was only at Lv. 3 now.

“Fighting isn’t just about one’s kinetic energy; it’s also about the enemy’s kinetic energy,” Xu Jingming said. “Of course, these are all in the subsequent lessons! There’s only one thing to know about in today’s first lesson—how to make your moves sufficiently powerful.”

“Alright, I’ll upload more detailed information on the first lesson of martial arts, including the training methods, to the Martial Arts Center,” Xu Jingming said. “Let’s begin the second lesson of martial arts!”

“The second martial arts lesson is also very important—speed!” Xu Jingming said.

With that said, Xu Jingming thought of the cosmic legend, Xuan—a legendary figure who had raised his speed to an unimaginable level. In a battle toward the ending stages of his life, his speed reached the speed of light.

“Might is very important,” Xu Jingming said. “Speed is also very important because… No matter how powerful a move is, it’s only useful when it hits someone.”

“For example, some moves.” Xu Jingming extended his hand and held a spear.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

The spear in Xu Jingming’s hand trembled, and it instantly turned into dozens of spear afterimages that shot out in all directions like arrows.

“I stabbed out 80 times in a row instantaneously,” Xu Jingming said. “In terms of might, it’s less than one-third of my greatest strength, but it’s fast enough and dense enough! As long as the enemy can’t block it, one strike is enough to kill the enemy.”

“The pursuit of speed and might are different ways of utilization in combat,” Xu Jingming said. “Sometimes, one needs to rely on might to suppress the enemy and make them reveal flaws. Sometimes, one needs to use speed to threaten the enemy. In short, different enemies require different combat strategies.”

“Actually, I value speed very much.” Xu Jingming felt mixed feelings. “When speed breaks through a certain limit, it will be terrifying.”

Countless people listened carefully. Break through a certain limit?

“This limit—” Xu Jingming said “—is the limit of one’s reaction!”

“When you’re fast enough, the time it takes for you to make a move is even shorter than the other party’s reaction time!” Xu Jingming said. “The other party doesn’t even have the time to react when you stab out, so you naturally can kill them with one strike.”

“This is also the secret of my early ultimate technique, Shadowless Thrust,” Xu Jingming said.

“What I want to teach you today is how to deliver your moves in a way that’s faster than the other party’s reaction time,” Xu Jingming said. Of course, these martial arts foundations were only useful for the first three levels.

Xu Jingming wasn’t qualified to teach anything from Lv. 4; he was still figuring it out.

However, Xu Jingming didn’t hold back on the secrets regarding certain ultimate techniques like Shadowless Thrust! Compared to Beam Transformation, some of his insights from back then were indeed superficial.

“How does one attack in a shorter time than the other party’s reaction time?”

“Wow.”

“Such an ultimate technique is to be publicized?”

Countless audience members became excited.
