Sword God in a World of Magic

Chapter 314

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."

Shang nodded with a grin. "Correct. So, experience is also part of your strength."

"I would advise you to differentiate between strength and power to make it clearer."

"When you or I use the word strength from now on, we mean the strength of your body. That includes your speed and how much strength you can exert, okay?" Shang asked.

Lash nodded after a couple of seconds.

"When we talk about power, we refer to everything. That includes experience, originality, flexibility, and many other things."

"Strength determines who wins in a direct comparison of strength between two barbarians."

"Power determines who will kill the other one when there are no rules or customs."

"Right now, my strength is lower than yours, but my power is far above yours."

"If you are not convinced, try again."

Lash tried to understand these concepts, and he eventually charged at Shang again.

He got kicked away again.

And again.

And again.

Several injuries accumulated on Lash's body.

"I am weaker in strength, but you are the one getting injured," Shang said.

"Think of a powerful barbarian."

"Now, think of an invisible, weak human with a very sharp spike."

Lash was trying his best to imagine the scene.
