Of course, close combat was essentially the same; after all, when Zhang Yanhang fought the Goblin Chief Nu Shan, it was exactly like this. With the first punch, he forced Nu Shan into a near-death state, triggering the "Lightning Heart (Elementalization)" with a life-extension effect. But that only resulted in Nu Shan taking one more punch.
By the second punch, Zhang Yanhang had already killed him with a normal attack. Therefore, in this respect, Zhang Yanhang's close combat damage also had a lot of overflow damage.
However, in close combat, Zhang Yanhang didn't maintain a high frequency of excessive damage like the Six Roots Pure Soul Gun because he could freely control the force of his attacks. The main reason being, if he went all out every time, it would greatly increase physical exhaustion; thus, most of the time, he would hold back his strength while fighting.
