But in fact, what I said at the time was, 'Only those who pass the test successfully can continue to learn swordsmanship with me.'
However, I didn't directly specify the specific requirements and standards for passing the test, yet you subconsciously set a pass line in your own minds.
Although this pass line is not rigid, it tends to change flexibly according to the real-time performance of others.
But in my opinion, this is actually foolish.
Because the biggest opponent for a swordsman is not others, but oneself.
Once you regard others as opponents, you will desperately catch up when they are stronger than you; and you can hardly help but relax when they lag behind you.
Perhaps in this process, your strength has indeed grown, but your emotions and actions are constrained by others.
At this time, the sword you wield is no longer pure.
