Many people in the audience began to take out their notebooks, listening and recording while also choosing to record videos.

"The limit of human nerve reaction time will become shorter and shorter with evolution," Xu Jingming said. "Before cultivating evolution methods, the human nerve reaction limit was about 0.1 seconds! Only those who have undergone special training can approach this limit. Ordinary people may be at 0.2 to 0.5 seconds."

"After cultivating evolution methods, nerve reaction speed becomes faster."

"Cultivating mid-level evolution methods results in a nerve reaction limit of about 0.02 seconds."

"Cultivating high-level evolution methods results in a nerve reaction limit of about 0.01 seconds." Xu Jingming smiled and said, "Of course, super-level evolution methods are somewhat special, and there is no accurate data for the time being."

With a gentle tap, Xu Jingming displayed a scene of a marksman secretly releasing an arrow to kill an opponent.

"Marksmen shooting opponents is something that I believe can be seen in many battles," Xu Jingming said. "Generally, it's a secret ambush, which is the most efficient. Why? It's because when the arrow is released secretly, by the time you discover the arrow, it's too close to you, and the arrow speed is too fast… it may not even be enough time for your nerve reaction limit."

"Even if you barely have enough time to react, it still takes time to use your weapon," Xu Jingming said. "You may have just swung your weapon, and the arrow has already pierced your throat."

"If shooting an arrow head-on," Xu Jingming said, "even if an arrow exceeds 1000 meters per second, an arrow fired from two or three hundred meters away will still take about 0.2 seconds to travel through the air. As long as you are fully focused, after cultivating evolution methods, you can generally dodge it."

"A marksman's sneak attack easily leads to a one-shot kill."

Xu Jingming said, "The same principle applies when you use any weapon, such as a blade, spear, or staff. If the time it takes to make your move is comparable to the opponent's nerve reaction time, a one-hit kill can also occur."

"A one-hit kill?"

Countless people listened carefully.

"Please watch various moves." Xu Jingming tapped gently.

Footage of a boxer's jab, swing, and uppercut appeared.

Footage of a warrior wielding a large axe appeared.

Footage of a swordsman's thrust, slash, and other movements appeared.

"This first video is a competition video of a boxing champion from many years ago, before evolution methods even existed," Xu Jingming said. "You see, the boxing champion's swings and uppercuts are very powerful, but the charging motion takes a long time. By the time the punch is halfway through, the opponent has already dodged it."

"Conversely, the jab! This boxing champion is also a master of the jab. The charging time for a jab is short, and the move is fast! The opponent must create distance, otherwise, within the range of a punch, a punch can be delivered in 0.1 seconds, and the opponent simply doesn't have time to dodge."

"At that time, any boxing champion in the world, no matter how powerful, would be hit by a jab if they didn't create distance. Of course, the power of a jab is also weaker," Xu Jingming said. "Creating distance… forces the opponent to take a step in order to hit him! Taking that step takes more than 0.1 seconds. The opponent can also easily dodge again."

"Distance is the content of the next class, 'footwork'," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "If the jab in boxing is a bit weak, then the result is different when you have a weapon."

"Please watch this swordsman." Xu Jingming pointed to another video.

"The swordsman's thrust is similar to a jab in motion, with explosive power and lightning speed," Xu Jingming said. "The sword is extremely sharp, and once it pierces a vital point like the head or throat, even if the strength is weaker, it is enough to kill the opponent."

"Therefore, when facing a top swordsman, you must keep your distance," Xu Jingming said. "Once you let the swordsman unleash his sword in an instant, there is often no time to react."

"Of course, although the sword is fast, you must also close in to within the attack range of a sword to instantly kill the opponent. Once you encounter a long weapon… it is difficult for the swordsman to touch the enemy, but the enemy can hurt him," Xu Jingming said.

"Take a look at this last video." Xu Jingming pointed to the expert wielding a large axe. "The axe is heavy and the swing is swift, but the charging motion takes a relatively long time, so the opponent usually has time to react."

Xu Jingming smiled and said, "So, to make a move faster than the nerve reaction limit, it is only suitable for some weapons. Like blades, swords, and 'spears, halberds, lances,' etc., that can be used for thrusting."

"Now we'll do some actual combat practice."

With a wave of his hand, a sword appeared in Xu Jingming's hand. "I'm not familiar with swordsmanship, but I know the most basic sword moves. Now I'll create a few sparring partners, all with a basic combat strength of 10,000."

With a gentle tap, he created five different experts in the practice field, some with swords on their backs, some with blades at their waists, and some with long whips in their hands.

"For us humans, a normal third-order limit expert has a basic combat strength of around 7,000," Xu Jingming said. "The virtual sparring partners I've set up have data that is generally slightly stronger than third-order limit experts."

"Sparring partners with a basic combat strength of 10,000?"

"My basic combat strength is only 500. This is too outrageous."

"These sparring partners are probably stronger than many experts on the third level of the Starry Sky Ranking, right?"

The audience clicked their tongues in amazement.

After all, third-order limit experts generally don't have such a strong basic combat strength. Most of those who have just passed the third level of the Starry Sky Tower are still only in the mid-stage of the third order.

"Sparring partners?" On the platform, Fang Yu felt complicated.

He was still stuck at the third-order limit.

"My evolution method compatibility is 103%, and my current basic combat strength is only 9,300," Fang Yu felt uncomfortable. His basic combat strength was enough to make him proud among other third-order experts.

But Xu Jingming casually created some sparring partners with a basic combat strength of 10,000, representing a comprehensive physical fitness that surpassed Fang Yu.

……

"The nerve reaction limit of these virtual opponents is approximately 0.01 seconds," Xu Jingming said. "It also takes them a bit of time to use their weapons, so under normal circumstances, if I keep my move within 0.015 seconds, it will be difficult for them to resist."

"Come on, the first one." Xu Jingming looked at the virtual expert in front of him.

The virtual expert drew his sword and rushed over quickly.

Xu Jingming held the sword in one hand, and at the moment when the opponent rushed close, his figure flashed, and at the same time, the sword light stabbed out like lightning. *Shu!* It had already pierced the virtual expert's throat.

When the virtual expert was pierced, he was still maintaining the action of swinging his sword, without any time to resist or react.

The virtual expert turned into an illusion and disappeared.

"An expert with a basic combat strength of 10,000 is gone with just one sword?"

"It feels like killing a chicken."

"Is the difference that outrageous?"

Countless viewers were dumbfounded.

"Take a closer look at that sword just now." Xu Jingming clicked to slow down the exchange. "The virtual opponent rushed over, and I didn't make any move. I only flashed and drew my sword when he was close! From the start of the move to the stabbing of the enemy's throat, it took a total of 0.006 seconds. Okay, my sword speed was a bit fast. Actually, even if the speed was twice as slow, 0.012 seconds… the opponent still wouldn't have time to resist."

After watching the video, Xu Jingming felt that his move was still too fast.

After all, he was used to making quick moves from practicing the Huahong spear technique.

"Damn, from the start of the move to piercing the enemy's throat with one sword, 0.006 seconds?"

"Even if the speed is twice as slow, he can still instantly kill an opponent with a basic combat strength of 10,000??"

The audience was speechless.

"You should have noticed that I used the most basic thrusting motion," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "A weapon is just an extension of the body, and there is nothing complicated about it. Just like I don't practice swords much, but the motion of a jab is practiced in boxing and various martial arts schools. Just hold the sword in your hand and thrust it forward."

"A thrust, as fast as lightning, extremely swift." Xu Jingming said, "If you grasp the opportunity and practice more, you can also make a sword strike within the opponent's nerve reaction limit. Of course, 'grasping the opportunity' is more difficult and requires footwork and control of time. These will also be covered in later courses."

"Okay, next opponent." Xu Jingming clicked gently.

Another swordsman rushed up, wielding a single-edged blade with a chilling light.

Xu Jingming took a step forward, closing the distance to within sword range in advance. At the moment of the step, he simultaneously drew his sword and made a light tap! He tapped the enemy's brow, and the swordsman's eyes showed surprise. He reacted, but before he could swing his blade, the tip of the sword tapped his brow.

The swordsman also turned into an illusion and disappeared.

"This time, I slowed down my movements a bit." Xu Jingming said, also starting to replay the exchange in slow motion.

"Please watch."

"If we extend our palm and tap an opponent, the power isn't great, but holding a sword… a swift tap is a very deadly sword technique," Xu Jingming said. "This tap of the sword is just a flick of the forearm, a light tap! From the start of the move to the sword tip touching the enemy's brow, it took 0.011 seconds. It was indeed a lot slower than before, but the opponent with a basic combat strength of 10,000 still didn't have time to react and resist."

"Did you notice?" Xu Jingming said, "Choose a light weapon to make your move fast enough. Once you grasp the opportunity, the enemy has nowhere to hide."

"So that's how it is?"

"A one-hit kill is that simple?"

"Choose a suitable weapon, practice as quickly as possible, and a move within the nerve reaction limit can kill in one hit?"

"This is an instant kill."

Countless viewers understood the principles of combat, and it became much easier to understand the battle.

"Although weapons like blades and swords are very fast," Xu Jingming said, "their attack range is short, and they are easily suppressed by long weapons! At this time, you need to use footwork to make up for it. So the strength of pure swordsmen… largely depends on footwork. Use footwork to avoid other people's attacks and find your own opportunity to strike."

"Once the distance is closed to within the range of a sword attack, unleash a sword instantly," Xu Jingming said. "A one-hit kill, with nowhere to hide."

"Of course, I recommend that everyone practice spear techniques even more."

Xu Jingming said with a smile, "Although spears are more difficult to practice! But they are also good at thrusting, with extremely fast moves. And they are longer and have a larger attack range."

"Regarding spear techniques, I will also upload a detailed course on spear techniques to the martial arts hall." Xu Jingming said with a smile, "Actually, everyone understands that whether it's swordsmanship, blade techniques, or spear techniques, they are just extensions of the body, allowing you to attack from a longer distance and deal more damage."

"An ordinary tap or thrust would be negligible if you were empty-handed. With a weapon, it's deadly," Xu Jingming said.
