With a flick of Qin Yu's fingertips, she summoned her sword through the wind and snow; the scabbard was splendid, snow swirling around her as she smiled.
"Liuxing Peak's Zhan Lan, do you know how I achieved my Nascent Soul Stage breakthrough under Liu Rushi's guidance?"
Zhan Lan was startled.
"The early bird flies first, that was never about talent."
Swish!
Sword energy, she departs, like a shooting light.
Leaving behind her answer.
"When the golden core was damaged, I simply started over."
Qin Yu left.
Zhan Lan stood there for a while, pondering.
What 'the early bird flies first' truly signifies.
Awake inside the House, two people need not ponder.
They already know the answer.
The only advantage the early bird has over the smarter ones is—since it's already so foolish, failure does not matter, but if it succeeds, it's a windfall.
True strong ones, fear not failure.
