Because I understand the characteristics of Martial Artists and practitioners of Taoism, I had you train with modern weapons, the firearms and knights. The Dead Soldiers we trained can handle Martial Arts Masters as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. They become nothing more than low-level beings when faced with a hail of bullets.
