    Default The Silk Gloves in ROCH

    In ROCH, The Ancient Tomb Sect has the ultimate weapon-counter, a pair of Silk Gloves. It's arguably the most precious defense weapon in the novel, perhaps in the entire JY universe, better than Huang Rong's Body Vest. It is unfortunate, that after ROCH, this pair of gloves were lost forever, or maybe the Yellow-dressed Yang Lady had them in her possession.

    Time and time again, Xiao Long Nu and Yang Guo showed how strong and powerful these gloves were.

    So... just how powerful this pair of gloves are ?

    Are they powerful and strong enough to catch and defend against the Heavy Iron Sword ?

    Are they powerful enough to stop the Guo Jing's dagger ? Are they strong enough to stop Wei XiaoBao's dagger ?

    Do you think they are powerful and strong enough to catch and stop the mighty sharp Heaven Sword in HSDS ?

    YG's iron sword is all about force, not sharpness anywayz...so no, it will not stop the iron sword

    it would probably stop GJ and WXB's dagger from cutting through...but if it's GJ in his later stages with the mighty force, the hands would probably break off anywayz, so no point in having the gloves

    the heavenly sword/dragon sabre couldn't cut through everything either, so i think the odds of it not being able to cut the gloves are pretty good

    I never got the impression that the gloves were all that damage-resistant: only that they were good protection for your skin/hands if you had to handle something toxic.

    If I recalled correctly, the gloves were used on several occasions :

    - by XLN, to catch one of the QZ Senior's sword at the beginning of ROCH
    - by XLN/YG to fight (and catch) GWM's wheels
    - by YG to fight GSZ's sharp nets

    Maybe there have been additional occasions in which the precious gloves were used in a fight. These proved how expectionally valuable the gloves were.

    I know.. but nevertheless you will be cut as well, due to the overwhelming force behind it if someone like YG swing it at you.

    But now let's imagine if someone with equal inner power like GJ (no no.. let's not make this YG vs GJ thread), ZBT, GWM, HYS, YD uses the gloves to catch (block) the sword.

    Do you think it can be done ?

    That's what I want to know.. what happens if WXB try to stab XLN with his mighty dagger and she stops the dagger with her gloves ? Or what happens if HR (since she's about equal XLN) try to stab XLN using GJ's dagger, and she stops the dagger with her gloves. ?

    This would be a true test to the gloves' strength, can the gloves user catch the heaven sword from cutting its way through ?

    Why would the gloves be better than HR's vest? The gloves only protected hands, whereas the vest protected torso, which IMHO is more important
