Qiao Xing raised the Cross Greatsword with one hand, thrusting it straight and true.
"The strong point of a saber lies in its slashing. Because of its curved edge, thrusts are nearly useless, and back strikes and reverse grips are completely abandoned.
"In many high-level battles, abandoning back strikes means the reverse grip is half as fast.
"The strong point of a spear lies in its thrusting, but it lacks slashing capabilities and isn't flexible enough.
"The hammer's strength is its flexibility and armor-breaking capability, but blunt weapons are difficult to deliver aerial Slash Strikes, and with the addition of energy, the advantage of armor-breaking vanishes.
"Therefore, in the end, the Church chose the sword.
"These weapons all have their very obvious weaknesses. But the sword is different; it hardly has any particularly obvious strengths, yet it also has no obvious weaknesses, provided that you are strong enough.
