It took a bit of convincing, but Lash eventually charged at Shang.
Just like before, Lash charged at Shang with both of his arms extended.
Just before Lash reached Shang, Shang lifted his leg and kicked Lash in the abdomen.
Lash flew away and rolled a couple of times on the ground.
Then, he looked at Shang with furrowed brows.
"This is not a fight," Lash said.
"How is it not a fight?" Shang asked.
"We are supposed to compare our strength!"
"We are," Shang said. "However, strength is not just how strong your body is."
Lash tried his best to understand the concept.
"Isn't experience also part of your strength?" Shang asked.
Lash nodded.
"When an old leader that has defended himself from challenges hundreds of times fights someone that has a slightly stronger body, will he win or lose?" Shang asked.
Lash thought about Shang's words for a while.
"He will win," Lash said. "He knows how to fight."
