During their second encounter, Ye Weiming didn't directly challenge the dim-witted Niu Zhichun's strength, as he had done before. Instead, Ye Weiming calmly employed the 'Quanzhen Swordsmanship', slowly matching pace with him.
He was eager to see what kind of progress could have emboldened Niu Zhichun to this extent?
Through the exchange of blows, Ye Weiming found out that Niu Zhichun's bragging, although arrogant, was mostly true.
Firstly, Niu Zhichun had a very accurate self-perception.
He did not pursue a balanced development in all aspects, like Ye Weiming, nor did he strive to become a perfect man who excelled in morality, wisdom, physique, aesthetics, and labor like Ye Weiming.
All of his cultivated inner strength, moves, and even the outlandish equipment he carried revolved tightly around one core principle.
Strength!
