"And if you win, even if just one match or point, it is a real contribution towards the victory of Taixu Gate."
"Without small steps, you cannot travel a thousand miles."
"Victory is never achieved overnight; it is accumulated bit by bit..."
"Taixu Gate is not the Taixu Gate of one or two gifted individuals, but the Taixu Gate of all disciples!"
"The strength of Taixu Gate depends on every disciple."
Mo Hua's tone was sincere, directly touching the heart.
The disciples, hearing this, felt their hearts waver.
They weren't unwilling to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference, they just felt that their efforts seemed too insignificant in the face of the grand event where talents are as numerous as clouds, hence the retraction in spirit.
Mo Hua understood.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary disciples are the "cannon fodder," and whether they compete or not truly makes little difference.
The sect does not force disciples to compete, leaving it entirely up to their willingness.
But the situation is different now.
Since the Three Sects Unification, Taixu Gate now has more than triple the number of grassroots disciples.
And they happen to have Mo Hua as their "Junior Brother."
"But, Junior Brother..." a disciple whispered, "I want to go, but I'm really too weak..."
"And, I don't know how to fight others..."
"Indeed, I haven't practiced much..."
"Really going up there, I probably won't win a single match..."
Mo Hua waved his hand, "It's fine, haven't you hunted Monster Beasts before if you haven't debated with swords?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Mo Hua continued, "If you really don't know how to fight or win, just treat the Sword Discussion as 'Monster Hunting.'
"You're not going to discuss swords; you're hunting five 'human-shaped Monster Beasts.'
And with this perspective, many disciples indeed became less anxious.
They may not have debated swords, but they were familiar with Monster Hunting.
Especially after Mo Hua streamlined the 'Monster Hunting' process, even those disciples who were less skilled in combat and disliked harsh battles could, by following the steps, manage to kill one or two Monster Beasts at Refining Demon Mountain, earning some skin and fur to exchange for Merit Points.
