In HS.Swords, you find a disciple named Tin Ingot, troubled by the small sword pell behind him.

What do you actually have to do?

It's not rocket science!

See that small sword pell behind me?

This is part of the "Three Swords of Mastery". It literally breaks people!

I'm trying to pass the "Three Swords of Mastery"... It's an ancient rite of passage of the Bureau of Swordmancers.

Once you activate the sword pell, its pressure plates light up in a set sequence.

Only a firm, decisive strike will activate the pressure plate.

That's "Jin". Not just strength, but the pulse that breathes life into steel.

Only by activating all pressure plates in the exact sequence they lit up will the sword pell finally rise.

And this is "Shi". Not just force, but the flow that shapes steel like a river shapes stone.

Yet my Jin isn't even strong enough to light a single plate… Let alone chain them into Shi.

Hah! You? Really? You look as flimsy as me, and even less trained.

But step forth! Yan's adage whispers: "Let worthy hands shape the steel's soul."
