Chapter 231: Strength and weakness all depend on your mouth, depending on whether you can boast or not

The annual Iron Sword Tournament is hosted by the Heavenly Sword Sect and takes place in the Immortal Mountain. It calls for an assembly of outstanding disciples to compete in sword skills.

But here comes the question, what do we mean by outstanding disciples?

What are the standards for being outstanding? Talent or cultivation realm?

Talent is rather elusive: an intangible quality determined by one's audacity. The bigger the guts, the stronger the talent.

Strength in this respect relies solely on one's words, hinging on whether one can boast convincingly.

Using talent as a measure of excellence is bound to be met with skepticism. So, why not turn to cultivation realms, something more solid and concrete - you either have it or you don't, no lies can obscure the truth.

Regrettably, even cultivation realms as a measure of excellence still have failed to gain unanimous approval.
