Chapter 280 - 256: Not Lacking Money, Just Unconvinced
"Mr. Wu, do you now understand the difference between the ring and real combat?"
William’s words made Wu fall silent, frowning in thought.
In the past, when information was not well developed, many people learned one or two ultimate techniques, which were enough to survive in Jianghu. In actual combat, when opponents were unfamiliar with each other, they would use the moves they had practiced the most and were most familiar with. The competition was about who reacted faster, struck faster and more accurately. It was common to determine life and death in a few moves.
Losing once could mean the work of ten plus years, or even a lifetime’s efforts, were lost. This is real combat.
And the biggest difference between the ring and real combat is, on the ring, everyone can afford to lose.
In competitive sports, no one can claim to be always victorious. If you lose, you just try again; after stepping down, you summarize your experiences, study your opponent, identify their weaknesses, and then there’s always a chance to win back. That’s what ring competition is about.
In the era of the information explosion, it’s no longer possible for a single move to conquer all, as William just mentioned. The more you fight, the deeper others will understand you; they will study your combat videos in super slow motion, identifying even the habits you might not be aware of.
"Do I have any striking habits?"
This was the question Wu subconsciously thought of, and he answered himself immediately: Naturally, he did.
