He wanted to master the ten moves of the Flowing Sword Arts but after three season he only manages to comprehend five moves of the Flowing Sword Arts
Azief knows his problem. The more he wanted to master the moves, the more he would not be able to. The more forceful he is; the more setback he will face.
He had to flow with it.
And to flow means to be calm.
To be flowing with the wind one needs to be wind. To flow like water, one needs to be water. To flow completely with the sword, one had to be the sword.
But each time Xi Feng wing the sword, he is Xi Feng. The sword is not a sword; it is Xi Feng sword.
To someone who do not understand his word, people would say he is being mysterious for the sake of being mysterious.
But that sword should not have Xi Feng individuality thrown into it. It should have just flow. A sword is a sword. And nothing more. It should not be the instrument of his will.
