Young Tan Jichuan takes part in the Taiheng Sect entrance martial contest. At first, he is eager to win, but is repeatedly frustrated because his fundamentals are unstable. With reminders from his companions and guidance from Cen Zhaoheng, he polishes his footwork and sword forms again, follows proper etiquette, and learns restraint, respect, and reflection through one fair sparring match after another. After many rounds of trials, he gradually understands that cultivation is not about fighting to be the strongest, but about facing one’s shortcomings and improving steadily. In the end, Tan Jichuan earns recognition through his character and progress, formally becomes a disciple, and makes a pact to study diligently and observe propriety. The story conveys the growing strength found in respecting teachers and the Way, fairness and self-discipline, and staying grounded.
