Simplicity
Most cultivators had a solid foundation of close combat skills. It was partly for this reason that they were so ubiquitous. Depending on the situation, your body could ultimately become the last tool you had left to save your life, while weapons were mostly external matters.
However, truly being a Close Combat Expert was a different matter entirely.
Ryu had heard of them in the past, people that forged their bodies into weapons and could force an air of lethality even into their pinky toe if it came down to it.
Unsurprisingly, these people were mostly Body Realm experts, and that was perfectly in line with Ryu's wishes.
'Is that really all?'
Ryu thought to himself, sinking into an even deeper state of meditation.
There were large parts of Ryu that were actually very eager to embark on this path, but there was a small part that was still a bit hesitant. Should he really do this?
