Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

[Such a crude and basic method, and yet you were able to create so much spiritual intent already!?]

When Jet woke up and noticed Van's progress it was immediately shocked. The ring's surprise was not faked in any way at all. He had imparted Van with just the most basic fundamentals of creating spiritual energy strands and yet the kid had taken it to such extremes!

Van had no idea what Jet was on about, "I just used the method you taught me."

The ring suddenly laughed, it was unknown if it was out of delight or incredulity.

[Creating the strands of intent is only the first step of achieving true spiritual intent. You were only meant to make a few hundred strands at the most. Instead you created two thousand, I don't know if I should praise you or kick you.]

Van was lost but he was intrigued by Jet's words.

"If it is only the first step, then what is the second?"
