Li Xuan looked at his second disciple, Meng Chong, anticipating him to cultivate a powerful technique to nurture the blade, nurturing it with heart and thereby nourishing the blade's spirit.
He hoped to cultivate a lethal weapon, a strong trump card.
Beside him, Xu Yan was deep in thought as well; although Master was talking about nurturing the blade, about nurturing it with heart, Xu Yan practiced the Sword Dao.
However, by observation and insightful thinking, he too had some ideas.
"Give yourself a trump card, a manoeuvre that should not be used unless absolutely necessary. This trump card, once deployed, can exceed your own abilities."
Li Xuan slowly spoke.
"Martial Artist, how can you not have a trump card? Only those that transcend your own strength can truly be called trump cards, capable of turning danger into safety when crisis strikes.
"You harbor the intent to nurture your blade, which is a good approach."
Li Xuan praised.
