Yang Xiao, when not using his Soul Skill, mainly derived his combat power from the enhancement of his Genetic Attributes. For instance, his strength solely depended on the enhancement of his Strength Attribute, speed on the Agility Attribute, and defense likewise.
However, the martial monks from the Shaolin Temple were different. With the same strength, they could produce far greater power through their ancient martial arts.
This was somewhat similar to Yang Xiao's previous practice of Golden Bee Swordsmanship and Feather Arrow Skill, as well as his later Longquan Spear Technique.
Cultivating such skills often provided higher combat power. For instance, his current Golden Bee Swordsmanship, with one stab producing ten sword shadows, could increase base combat damage tenfold.
