He chuckled at her initial response but nodded. He didn't exactly get it either. Maybe someone else could explain it better in a way she could understand. But it had never been much of a concern for him, just a background fact that worked whether he recognized it or not.
"Yeah? Though I think you could catch a sword with your bare hands regardless of your spirit energy if you trained hard enough. Learning to manipulate your spirit energy just makes it easier, depending on how you learn to bend it." He noted with a shrug.
"I would not concern yourself with how long I have been alive when it comes to training and your potential." He said waving a hand. "Time for spirits such as myself is complicated. And I think think that adversity is a better teacher than all the time in the world. If you want to grow, push yourself to your limit, or put yourself into situations where you are forced to grow strong or die." He shrugged. "I don't really recommend the last option. But trust me when I say that the threat of death can push you beyond what you might think you are capable of. You may find that you have sudden explosive moments of growth and development in terms of your strength and abilities." He paused. "Then again you've been pitting yourself against Hollow, so perhaps you've already begun to notice some growth on your end. Unless it's been too easy for you to fight them."
When her next question came his eyes narrowed slightly before slowly nodding. "If it vanished before you could even kill it, that likely means it fled rather than fight you. It's hard to say whether that's a good sign or not, especially with a potent soul such as yourself. It could be that it either feared your strength or has been stalking you to see the best way to make you its prey if it's an especially clever and sentient hollow." He noted with a warning, glancing around to make sure that he wasn't about to be suddenly attacked from behind or something. Luckily at least he was feeling better after the rest. He'd forgotten about his jaw, stomach, and leg and it seemed that the pains were short lived since they had not been anything too serious.
