Profound Meanings—Fathom and Slay Steel

"Ouch… That was fast. It really hurt this time. Fortunately, I'm wearing armor. Otherwise, I'd definitely have vomited blood."
Having armor as protection was one of the advantages of training at school. This was also why Zhang Heng and Lin Yao could practice fearlessly.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, let's do it again."
Zhang Heng refused to admit defeat and wanted to duel with Lin Yao again. However, he went on a losing streak in the subsequent fights.
After he unleashed his vital energy, Lin Yao's strength, speed, and explosive power exceeded their normal state by 30%. The Sword-Drawing Technique was already fast, ruthless, and accurate swordsmanship by itself. Even a 1% increase could result in a life-and-death difference, let alone a 30% increase.
Zhang Heng's punch was always a step slower than Lin Yao's move during each of their duels. Therefore, it would be useless even if his hit was accurate.
