To become an inner force martial artist, one had to meet stringent requirements. Furthermore, no matter how strong an inner force martial artist gets, he would only be a human with slightly stronger combat prowess. They are still no match against opponents wielding guns.
That was why many martial artists did not purely focus their training in martial arts but instead took up shooting, disguising oneself, and other skills. Those that successfully learn how to use inner force were even fewer.
Be it China or the Sun Nation, inner force martial artists were very rare. They were classified as national treasures.
For example, an average martial artist could jump up to two meters. An inner force martial artist, with the help of inner force, would have no problem clearing a five-meter height.
Despite the small change, it was not as simple as it seemed. It meant that many higher difficulty missions could only be achieved by inner force martial artists!
