Lu Yuan shattered the glass of the fire emergency cabinet and casually took out the steel blade inside. The blade and handle together measured one point one meters. It had patterns on it from the steel forging process, and its edge was sharpened, looking very keen.
Unfortunately, it was of no use to Lu Yuan.
He gripped the long blade and swung it through the air a couple of times, creating sharp whistling sounds.
He applied a bit of force.
CRASH—
The entire long blade instantly fractured and disintegrated, fragments clattering to the ground.
"Light and flimsy, with no real feel to it. Like a toy."
"Besides, I've never learned any techniques for using melee weapons."
It's said that mastery in one martial art leads to understanding in all, and indeed, many armed martial arts techniques are derived from unarmed combat.
But to change my combat habits just for the slight increase in lethality that melee weapons offer would be pointlessly self-restricting.
