The difference between strength and force is just a single character, yet they are completely distinct.
Lifting a thousand-pound boulder signifies having a thousand pounds of strength, but it does not mean that striking with fists or palms can exert a thousand-pound force.
Precisely because force cannot be measured, after reaching the Opening Acupoints Realm, the martial arts hall no longer measures strength. However, over the years, based on the experiences of past students, there is a relatively accurate standard reference.
Achieving great success in a cultivation technique allows a martial artist in the Opening Acupoints Realm to fight across two acupoints, provided it's not between Four Acupoints and Five Acupoints, or Eight Acupoints and Nine Acupoints, such crossing small stages of the Opening Acupoints Realm.
This is also why the Martial Arts Garden's arenas are arranged for every two acupoints.
