"The sixth lesson of martial arts—grasping time," Xu Jingming explained to his girlfriend.
"Grasping time?" Li Miaomiao was puzzled.
"Footwork is used to control space," Xu Jingming said, "but in fact, grasping time is the key to becoming a top expert. In combat, everyone needs time to move, and it takes time for the arrows to pierce through the air! The enemy also needs time to move and time to react!"
"We need to instinctively control this period!" Xu Jingming said. "For example, it takes time for the enemy to strike again after missing a strike. For example, it also takes time for the enemy to find their footing after I repel the other party with my spear."
"The changes in time on the battlefield are like flowing water," Xu Jingming said. "There's no need to deliberately calculate because there's no time to calculate it in high-speed combat. However, you need to experience this 'change in time.' Through prolonged practice, you will naturally be in control of the time."
