That Xander could be considered a good prospect, but his sense of hostility was too overpowering, so he needed more training.

In fighting and killing, the most important part was actually one's heart, those with a naturally decent heart would attack without hesitation, and one-tenth of their power could have the same effect as others' full power. Those with weak hearts would keep hesitating, and even their full strength would only be as effective as one-tenth.
Hesitation, terror, delay, these were all the most serious taboos when fighting to kill, as soon as you hesitated, your moves would slow down, your actions delayed, and naturally your power would diminish.
