"They kept perfecting it until the end of the year, eventually creating a set of introductory swordsmanship assessment standards that didn't reveal our Sect's sword art secrets."
As Zhao Rong walked with Mo Da towards the Cloud Mist Hall, he explained:
"The new disciples don't have the older disciples' experience in practicing Diecui Swordsmanship. I want to select those with an affinity for Hengshan Swordsmanship from among them. Under the Falling Goose Sword technique, both Diecui and Fast Sword share a focus on form."
"Those who master the form will learn swordsmanship faster."
"Only then will it be easier for them to keep up with the pace of the older disciples."
Mo Da had some reservations, as the Hengshan Sect had never recruited disciples in this manner.
Without a personal recommendation, especially for disciples whose backgrounds were unclear, they were generally not accepted.
