章 2005: All Hail Zhang Xuan

"It's too dangerous!" Han Jianqiu exclaimed anxiously.

In response to Han Jianqiu's worry, Zhang Xuan replied, "I am someone who has comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent. Just like you have mentioned many times before, it's only a matter of time before I become the sect leader of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion. How can I mature if I were to constantly remain under your protection? A sword practitioner should have the tenacity of a raging bull, charging down adversities without any hesitation. Fear would only fill my swordsmanship with hesitation."

"But even so…" 

Han Jianqiu wanted to protest, but he knew that there was some sense in what Zhang Xuan was saying.

It was often in times of danger that cultivators matured and rose to greater heights. Without facing adversities and putting one's swordsmanship to the test, it was impossible for one to reach the peak.
