Generally speaking, Martial Artists rarely engage in close combat because it does not maximize their attack power.
Starting from the War God, Martial Artists cultivate the Laws. With the stirring of the Laws, nothing is indestructible, and their power is overwhelming. And with the Laws' protection, they are indeed as solid as gold and yet invincible.
The competition lies in the mastery of the Laws; whoever has a higher level and a greater number of Laws is the sharper spear and the sturdier shield. But human capacity is limited, enhancing attack inevitably weakens defense, hence Martial Artists usually maintain distance, bombarding with the Laws so they can spare their strength for defense and maximize attack.
Yet Chu Hao engaged in close combat, which lacked even a trace of the elegance of the King of Stars, resembling completely a barbarian.
And that's exactly what Chu Hao did.
