Go to the Palace of Astrum's backyard and check in on March 7th's swordplay training

UI Adventure Mission Mission Description

Let us revisit the time when March 7th received a gift from her two young mentors. Accepting the pair of swords made her soar with anticipation as she imagined herself becoming a chivalrous swordsmaster, much like those depicted in immersia.
How about taking this opportunity to follow March 7th on her journey of mastering swordplay?
(Approach March 7th)
Turning back the clock to when March 7th had just begun studying swordplay...
Yanqing: Alright, now that you're in position, Miss March, let's get this lesson started.
Yunli: I'm not good at acting all master-like. Since Grandpa asked me to teach you swordplay, I won't hold back any secrets.
March 7th: Thank you so much, masters. Oh, wait, does this mean our training is only officially starting right now?
Yunli: After all, we need to watch you practice for a few days before we can figure out how talented you are, right?
March 7th: So, how'd I do, master?
Yanqing: You're definitely talented, Miss March.
March 7th: Hey, here you are, (Trailblazer)! Did you hear that? These two masters just called me a swordplay genius.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Indeed. That's our March!
March 7th: Hehe, just wait until I go back, everyone's going to be so wowed by my new skills.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Watch out for the overly generous Xianzhou social niceties, March.
March 7th: Oh, you're right! I almost got all excited for nothing.
Yunli: I'm just speaking my mind. Trust me, you're really talented.
March 7th: Did you hear that, (Trailblazer)? I'm truly a genius!
Yanqing: Swordplay requires rigorous training. Before we start, Miss March, you need to find a clear reason to keep you motivated while you train. It doesn't have to be something huge, but it needs to be clear.
Yunli: In other words, even though you didn't exactly choose to be our apprentice, you still need to take the initiative during this learning process.
Yanqing: I once had the honor of learning swordplay from a master. She asked me why I started training at such a young age, why I wielded a sword... So, for our first lesson, I'd like to ask you the same question...
Yanqing: Miss March, why do you wield your sword?
March 7th: Why do I wield my sword...? I wield my sword to take down my enemies! I mean what other reason is there?
Yanqing: I also questioned that sword master about why she uses her sword, and she said: "...to vanquish my enemies, nothing more." Miss March, you gave a similar response, which shows you've got potential.
Icon Dialogue Arrow There are countless ways to take down enemies.
Icon Dialogue Arrow If you just want to defeat your enemies, you can stick to your bow.
March 7th: "The best way to take down your enemy is with a blaster gun." I heard a hero say something like that in an immersia! He also mentioned that sword training can push a person's physical abilities to their ultimate limit.
Yanqing: Seems like you've seen your fair share of immersia, Miss March. But if you want my opinion, if your goal is self-improvement, you'll feel just as accomplished even if you put down the sword and go back to your bow.
Yunli: Oh, come on, don't listen to his empty talk.
Yanqing: Oh? Now I'm curious to hear what Master Yunli has to say...
Yunli: Let me ask you something, March. Do you have any specific goals for learning swordplay, like achieving a certain ranking in the Wardance? Or maybe you want to defeat someone, like Yanqing or me?
March 7th: Who do I want to defeat...? (Trailblazer)? Dan Heng? Himeko? Or Mr. Yang?
Yunli: ...If you can't think of anyone specific, why not set a simpler goal? Like how many opponents do you want to defeat at once with a sword?
March 7th: "I'll fight ten!"
Yunli: ...Ten?
March 7th: Oops, that just slipped out. It's actually another line from an immersia...
Icon Dialogue Arrow You're really into immersia, huh?
March 7th: ...Yeah, I really like them, so what.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Having five enemies on the other side of the battlefield is the limit.
March 7th: ...I have no idea what you're talking about.
Yunli: I think I've figured out what's motivated March to learn swordplay.
Yanqing: ...Could it possibly be immersia about swordmasters?
March 7th: Hey, now that you mention it, that actually makes sense!
March 7th: I'm super interested in Xianzhou immersia and novels! Even though I use a bow, almost all the great heroes in those immersia use swords, so I want to be a swordmaster too!
Yunli: See?
Icon Dialogue Arrow Sounds like you've developed a stereotype about heroes.
March 7th: ...It doesn't matter. Everyone has their own preferences.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Sounds like a great reason to stay motivated!
March 7th: You agree, right? I mean, who wouldn't want to be a swordmaster?
Yanqing: Becoming a swordmaster who fights for justice and battles evil... Well, that's definitely a good reason to keep you motivated in swordplay training.
March 7th: Now that you've both given your approval, I have another small request. I want to perform a tea ceremony to honor you as my masters. Remember, you'll need to tap the table a few times with your fingers...
Yanqing: ...Tea ceremony? Tap the table? Do we have to be so serious about accepting an apprentice for the first time?
March 7th: Please, that's how those heroes in the immersia show their respect...
Icon Dialogue Arrow Let's just play along with her tea ceremony thing.
Yanqing: Play along?
Icon Dialogue Arrow But in those immersia shows, they always kneel and bow, right?
Yanqing: That's even more unnecessary.
Yunli: Let's just stop wasting time. Just treat us to some milk tea, and then we can start our real swordplay training, okay?
March 7th: Yeah! Alright, let's go! To the Sleepless Earl!
Yanqing: ...

Go to the Sleepless Earl and prepare to join a discipleship ceremony

UI Adventure Mission Step Description

Those who pursue the art of swordplay know to set goals for themselves, for they would have worked toward these goals even if they are never achieved eventually. March 7th's interest in swordplay came about from the Xianzhou's novels and immersia, which nurtured her fantasy of roaming the world as a great swordswoman.
To fully play out the role of a swordswoman, she has to first be taken under the wing of a swordmaster.
(Approach Mengming)
Skott: Hey, this is... not how it's supposed to be, right? The Xianzhou is known for its tea culture and hospitality, but you're not treating me like a guest at all! Seriously, am I not a guest?
Mengming: Dear guest...
Skott: Stop, don't call me a "guest." You're not even treating me as one. I want my tea just right, not too hot, not too cold, but the tea you served was either freezing or scalding! Is this how you treat your guests on the Xianzhou? How fantastic!
Skott: Your tea tastes like slop, and you even have the nerve to charge me for it! Are you trying to scam honest folks!?
Skott: And that name, "The Sleepless Earl," it's so hard to remember. How about we give you a new plaque that says "Xianzhou Slop?" It suits this place better, don't you think?
Icon Dialogue Arrow (Why is it that guy again?)
Icon Dialogue Arrow (Let's just give him a good beating.)
March 7th: Stop! You've gone too far!
Skott: Oh, who's that trying to be a hero?
March 7th: It's me! March 7th! Cause more trouble and I'll show you who your mommy is... Wait, that sounded lame... Hey, (Trailblazer), say something for me!
Icon Dialogue Arrow She's March 7th, your ancestor!
March 7th: That's right! I'm your ancestor!
Icon Dialogue Arrow She's March 7th, the Sword Champion of the Astral Express!
March 7th: That's right, I'm the Sword Champion...
Skott: Never heard of you. Now scurry back to wherever you crawled out from.
Yanqing: Mr. Skott, I'm Yanqing, a Cloud Knight Lieutenant. We've met before, and I suggest you stop causing trouble.
Skott: Trouble? Hah! I'm just giving some feedback as a regular customer. The tea here is terrible, and now the Cloud Knights want to stop me from complaining about it? At this rate, who would want to ever come here for tea in the future?
Yunli: A regular customer? You?
Skott: Yeah, what else would I be? The Xianzhou's prisoner?
March 7th: Anyway, if you're trying to bully this young lady, you'd better watch out for the weapon in my hand!
Skott: Huh...? Oh, that really scares me! Come on, you're not seriously trying to take my life with that piece of... scrap metal, are you?
March 7th: Scrap metal? This is my sword! I'm here to learn Xianzhou swordplay!
Skott: Swordplay? Oh, I get it now. It's just another kind of play, right? That explains why you're dressed like you're in a show. You're not even from the Xianzhou, so why bother learning their swordplay? If you're feeling unsafe, I can sell you an IPC mech.
March 7th: Pfft! As if anyone wants your junkyard scrap mechs!
Icon Dialogue Arrow Your mechs are only good for show.
Skott: Looks like you guys are totally clueless.
Icon Dialogue Arrow March 7th can cut through your mechs with a single slash!
Skott: Oh! How marvelous! How about you show me, then?
Skott: Well, guess it's time to show these bumpkins something serious.
A few IPC mechs respond and appear near the Sleepless Earl, and more and more Xianzhou passers-by stop to watch.
Yanqing: Just a reminder, IPC members. Street fighting on the Xianzhou Luofu is prohibited.
Yunli: Make any funny moves, and I'll smash that scrap metal.
Skott: Hey, hey, relax. I know the rules. These are my subordinates. They got stuck here because of the transport ship incident, and they need to vent their frustration... In the end, it's all the Xianzhou's fault.
Skott: Well, I can overlook the terrible tea, but now that you're questioning my security, I can't let it slide. After all, I have a courier business to run, and with so many clients watching, that just wouldn't look too good now, would it?
Skott: Instead of wasting your life learning useless swordplay, why not invest in our civilian mechs? You'll have your master kneeling and begging for mercy in no time.
March 7th: Stop! Don't you dare insult Xianzhou swordplay like that! If you have the guts, I'll show your mechs what I can do!
Skott: Huh...!? A fight, you say? Hahahahaha! Now that you've thrown down the gauntlet, March 7th, I feel I'm obliged to accept your challenge!
Skott: Say whatever you want, but once you've seen what our mechs can do, you'll be practically begging us for them.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Let's make a bet.
Skott: Oh, come on, how could I say no to a bet?
Skott: So, I can see you're no master yet, March, but I'll play fair. You go back and learn swordplay from your teachers here, and in fifteen days, I'll come find you and challenge you with my mechs.
March 7th: Only fifteen days? Alright... fine!
Skott: And if you lose, you'll have to bark like a dog in public and shout, "Xianzhou swordplay is a total joke!" You'll stand at the entrance of Aurum Alley and say it to everyone passing by.
Skott: Oh, and if that's the case, just forget about your master and become my apprentice instead! I'll teach you how to pilot a mech!
March 7th: And... if I win?
Skott: I'll become your apprentice?
March 7th: Nah, I don't think so. I don't like you.
Skott: ...Okay, how about this? If I lose, I'll squeal like a pig in public and say, "IPC mechs are a total joke!" And I'll even print that on every mech on the transport ship. Deal?
Icon Dialogue Arrow So, he just changed "barking" into "squealing" and that's supposed to be a different story?
Icon Dialogue Arrow Feel like this has happened before...
Icon Dialogue Arrow Your bets always sound so childish...
March 7th: Squealing isn't enough! You also need to apologize to the owner of the Sleepless Earl, and take back what you said about Xianzhou swordplay!
Skott: Fine, fine, I get it. But you've got to actually beat me with that little scrap of metal first.
Skott: You all heard it, right? We'll meet again in fifteen days! Hahaha, let's go!

Talk to Mengming

UI Adventure Mission Step Description

Alas, adversaries are wont to cross paths! The both of you encounter Skott, who is up to no good yet again. March 7th and Skott end up making a pact to cross swords in fifteen days.
The way you went to Mengming's aid was exactly what swordmasters would do. Don't stop now, go over and comfort the young innkeeper of the Sleepless Earl.
(Talk to March 7th, optional)
March 7th: I'm still worried about the owner. Let's go check on her.
(Talk to Yunli, optional)
Yunli: Those IPC guys just want to pick on an easy target so they can promote their scrap metal. So typical.
(Talk to Yanqing, optional)
Yanqing: The Xianzhou and IPC signed a trade agreement, so those IPC people won't dare to cause any trouble. But I mean... a bet like this is quite unexpected...
(Talk to Mengming)
March 7th: Are you okay?
Mengming: Yes, thank you all for your timely help. The shop facing a bit of flak from visitors is a minor issue, but Miss March's decision to challenge him is serious... I feel responsible, as if the shop has inconvenienced you.
March 7th: Don't worry! I can't stand by and watch someone be bullied. I have to stand up against injustice, no matter what!
Mengming: Not only do you speak like a hero from an immersia, but you also have a kind heart. Your charisma has completely won me over, Miss March.
March 7th: Ahahaha... I'm not quite a hero yet.
Mengming: I know you're here for the tea ceremony. Please come inside.
March 7th: Thanks for the invitation, but right now, I just want to focus on practicing swordplay. Masters, let's save the tea for later.
Yanqing: Sure, the tea can wait for now. However, I have a question, Miss March... How confident are you about the bet you just made?
Icon Dialogue Arrow I don't think March has given it any thought at all...
March 7th: Come on, how could I possibly lose?
Yanqing: ...
Yunli: You're right. It seems she really hasn't considered anything.
Icon Dialogue Arrow I don't think March is confident enough.
March 7th: C—Come on! How could I possibly lack confidence! You believe in me, right, masters?
Yunli: What do you think, Master Yanqing?
Yanqing: I think you already know the answer, Master Yunli.
Yunli: I don't see any issue with it. Let March give it a shot. As long as she trains diligently, I believe she can easily deal with that hunk of IPC scrap metal.
Yanqing: ...As long as she trains diligently.
March 7th: I'm now filled with determination, masters! I'll learn swordplay well and teach that guy a lesson!
March 7th: (Trailblazer), you're my most trusted friend. You'll be my assistant teacher and make sure I learn swordplay properly.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Three teachers and one apprentice...
March 7th: If I can't learn swordplay well, I'll have no one to blame but myself.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Do I get paid as an assistant teacher?
March 7th: Hey, when have I ever treated you poorly?
March 7th: Masters, (Trailblazer), let's go back and start the training now.

Go to the Palace of Astrum's backyard and help March 7th in her swordplay training

UI Adventure Mission Step Description

Alas, adversaries are wont to cross paths! The both of you encounter Skott, who is up to no good yet again. March 7th and Skott end up making a pact to cross swords in fifteen days.
March 7th makes you her "assistant swordplay instructor," leaving you in charge of her training schedule. Alongside her two masters, you have fifteen days to train March 7th into a swordswoman capable of holding her own in a duel.
March 7th believes that you can do it, for this is both your responsibility and obligation.

"The ultimate Luofu duel begins in fifteen days. Watch a pair of swords whiz through the skies in a peerless swordplay."
(Interact with the Practice Dummy)
March 7th: That IPC guy will show up in fifteen days. I've got to become a swordmaster by then!
Yunli: Becoming a swordmaster in a mere fifteen days is quite challenging.
March 7th: But we can't lose our momentum, Master Yunli!
Yunli: Momentum alone will only keep you going for about three days. If you really want to stick with it, you need a solid plan.
March 7th: No worries! I've found my professional teaching assistant, (Trailblazer), to help me organize the lessons. So, there won't be any problems!
Icon Dialogue Arrow I'll be sure to arrange lessons for March.
March 7th: Rest assured, masters, if not in me, at least place your faith in (him/her), my trusty sidekick!
Icon Dialogue Arrow How can you be so sure about me...?
March 7th: Because I trust you! Even if my masters have doubts, they'll trust your judgment!
Yanqing: Miss March is really passionate about learning swordplay, and now she has a clear goal in mind. That's a good thing for her.
Yanqing: There are many ways to defeat villains, but if you want to become a true hero, you have to focus on self-improvement. I hope you will always remember this, Miss March.
March 7th: Got it, it's all etched into my memory.
Yunli: Since you've got that in mind, it's time for me to set some targets for you!
March 7th: Please go ahead, Master Yunli!
Yunli: We'll have three exams during these fifteen days. If you pass our tests, those pieces of IPC scrap won't stand a chance. But if you fail...
Yanqing: That would mean Yunli is a terrible teacher. And if that's the case, I hope you won't force yourself to take on the challenge, Miss March.
Yunli: Hey, YOU are the terrible teacher here!
March 7th: I understand! In the immersia, the disciple and the master share both honor and disgrace. If the apprentice fails, the master loses face, too.
Yunli: Well, there aren't that many customs on the Xianzhou. I'm just worried about you getting hurt.
Yanqing: But as long as you practice diligently and pass the tests, we'll feel confident about your duel.
Yanqing: Now, let's go back to the first question I asked you. I'm sure you've found a reason to wield your sword, right, Miss March?
March 7th: Absolutely! I wield my sword to become a hero! I want to fight for justice, punish the wicked, and make them quiver in fear and run away when they see me!
Yunli: Then keep that fire burning and learn with all your heart.
March 7th: You haven't said much, (Trailblazer). Any suggestions before we officially start training?
Icon Dialogue Arrow Mastery of the sword trumps all.
March 7th: Exactly! I prefer the cool, calm and ruthless way of doing things – that's my kind of style!
Icon Dialogue Arrow Friends on the road bring twists of the fate.
March 7th: Twists? Like the ones in those swordmaster novels? But I wonder what kind of unexpected twists I'll encounter...

Icon Dialogue Arrow Bump into a lonely ghost?
Icon Dialogue Arrow Accidentally consume a divine elixir?
Icon Dialogue Arrow Unlock an ingenious enigma?
Icon Dialogue Arrow Receive guidance from a sage?
March 7th: It'd be pretty awesome if that actually happened.
March 7th: That's enough chit-chat for now. Don't forget to keep an eye on my swordplay practice, (Trailblazer)!
(Open Saga of Primaveral Blade Tutorial)

First Sword Trial

(After 4 days of sword training)
Yanqing: Today, you'll face your first test. It's all about the basics.
March 7th: Oh, I know! It's that "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee," right?
Yunli: That's boxing... but close enough, I guess.
Yanqing: Grasping the basics is crucial to mastering swordplay, Miss March. Focus on wielding your sword properly, making your thrusts swift and strikes brisk...
March 7th: And parries should be fluid and nimble! Got it.
Yunli: See? Even March is getting bored of your rambling.
March 7th: Ah... but I'm actually not bored at all.
Yanqing: Miss March is still a novice, so I'm giving her some tips on the basics to help her better understand them. Neglecting the basics will only make you vulnerable in a fight, even for an extraordinary swordmaster like you, Yunli.
Yunli: Just focus on your teaching. Why bring me into this?
Yanqing: What? Didn't General Huaiyan offer you any guidance?
Yunli: Heh, looks like your general hasn't told you to stop hopping around like a sparrow in a fight, huh?
Icon Dialogue Arrow Guys, let's save the seminar for later...
Icon Dialogue Arrow Let's focus on the test, masters.
Yanqing: Miss March has been learning the basics of swordplay, and now it's time to put her knowledge to the test.
Yunli: Unsheathe your swords and show me what you've got, March!
(Open Sword Trial Tutorial)
(Note: Trying to disable auto-battle in any of the trials results in the message, "This is March 7th's sword trial. Teaching assistants should just watch")

(After passing the Sword Trial)
March 7th: Looks like I passed the test, right?
Yunli: Yeah, well done! You passed with flying colors.
March 7th: Great! Hey, (Trailblazer), hurry up and congratulate me!
Icon Dialogue Arrow Yeah! Congratulations!
Icon Dialogue Arrow Don't get too cocky. You still have two more tests to go.
March 7th: Jeez, you sound just like those parents on the Xianzhou! Can't I get some praise now?
Icon Dialogue Arrow You're amazing, March! You've mastered the basics!
Icon Dialogue Arrow Yeah! Congratulations!
March 7th: Hehe, I couldn't have done it without my masters and you, (Trailblazer).
March 7th: So, if I were to take on that IPC guy now, what would you say are my chances?
Yanqing: You already have a martial arts background and plenty of real combat experience. With swordplay guidance from me and Yunli, if you were to challenge the IPC's security mechs now, I believe—
Yunli: You wouldn't stand a chance.
Yanqing: Yunli's right.
March 7th: No chance? Hey, are you trying to crush my confidence? I'm the kind of girl who performs better when I'm showered with praise, just so you know.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Maybe you'd stand a chance if you used your bow.
March 7th: Wait, are you saying my swordplay still isn't good enough?
Icon Dialogue Arrow When you're taking a break, the mechs are still training.
March 7th: Oh, come on... you're just talking nonsense to keep me motivated.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Our March can totally crush those mechs, even with one hand tied behind her back!
March 7th: I'm not that confident... but thank you for believing in me.
Yunli: I thought teaching March was just something of a hobby, but now, actually seeing her progress gives me a sense of accomplishment.
Yanqing: Oh, really? So now you finally acknowledge her talent, Master Yunli? Don't worry, Miss March, I've been serious about teaching you from the start.
Yunli: Don't try to cause a rift between us. Every move and technique I taught March is straight from the Zhuming art of swordplay.
Yanqing: Fifteen days of training is short, Miss March. Whether you pass or fail this test, I hope you'll continue with the basics, because that's your best shot at winning.
Yanqing: After every test, the general would take me to the Artisanship Commission for sword maintenance. Let's go, Miss March. Today, I'll follow the general's example as a way of acknowledging your progress.
March 7th: ...Thank you, Master Yanqing!
Moments later, in a dark corner on the Luofu...
Skott: So, have you found any information about her?
IPC Worker: Yeah, that girl is one of the Nameless on the Astral Express. She's no pushover. Don't you think this bet's a bit too risky?
Skott: Yeah, it is. So what? Have you seen those big shots in the Strategic Investment Department? Do they ever make safe bets?
Skott: She thinks she can fool me by flying under the radar? You there! Get me the most powerful mech we've got!
IPC Worker: Understood. Checking the inventory now.
Skott: Now I'm curious to see what this "15-day crash course" apprentice is really capable of!

Second Sword Trial

(After 4 days of sword training)
Yunli: Time for your second test. I'll be your examiner this time, and I'll be testing your ability to defeat enemies with unconventional moves.
Yunli: Grandpa always said that everything can be a sword, and that there are endless possibilities for learning swordplay in this vast world. If you want to defeat your opponent, you'll need your own secret move.
March 7th: Hmhm! Speaking of secret moves, I've prepared some Flaming Potent Tea.
Yanqing: Huh? Is that Flaming Potent Tea from Aurum Alley?
March 7th: You got it! I saw this immersia where the hero drank the Flaming Potent Tea and started stumbling and shaking all over the place. But then he managed to defeat his father's murderer with his drunken swordplay.
Yunli: Good example. Do you know how to do the drunken swordplay?
March 7th: ...No, I figured I could just learn it by drinking Flaming Potent Tea.
Yanqing: That's not how it works in real life, Miss March.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve, March?
March 7th: Absolutely! I've learned a lot from my adventures!
Icon Dialogue Arrow Let's focus on the test, masters.
March 7th: Even if I don't know drunken swordplay, I've got other tricks up my sleeve!
Yanqing: I've heard you've traveled a lot, Miss March. I'm excited to see how you incorporate your experiences into your swordplay moves.
Yunli: Your opponent this time is similar to the IPC mechs. Unsheathe your swords and give it everything you've got!

(After passing the Sword Trial)
March 7th: Whew... That was tough!
Yanqing: Those moves were pretty unconventional, but the way you blended them into your swordplay was impressive. It's like you've developed your own unique style, Miss March.
Yanqing: So, I thought you were just wasting your time traveling around with Yunli's encouragement, but it seems like it's paid off.
Yunli: Well, well, looks like someone's finally seeing sense.
March 7th: Thank you both for your guidance. So, did I pass the test?
Yunli: Without a doubt, you aced it.
March 7th: Awesome! Hey, (Trailblazer), isn't it about time you showered me with praise...
Icon Dialogue Arrow Yeah! Congratulations!
Icon Dialogue Arrow I'll save the praise for when you pass the next test.
March 7th: No saving allowed! Let's keep it relevant: This time's for now, next time's for later. No IOUs on praise!
Icon Dialogue Arrow You're amazing, March! You learned your own secret move!
Icon Dialogue Arrow Yeah! Congratulations!
March 7th: Hehe, I won't be modest this time. My skills have improved by leaps and bounds!
Yanqing: General Jing Yuan once told me that everyone has the potential to be my master, not just Cloud Knight instructors, but also artists and outsiders...
Yanqing: Actually, I was once convinced by Guinaifen into swallowing a sword. That's definitely not something you learn from regular practice.
Yunli: So, what do you think your odds are, March?
March 7th: Maybe around thirty... or forty percent?
Icon Dialogue Arrow You don't seem as confident as last time. What's up?
March 7th: Well, I've gained a deeper understanding of swordplay, and I'm more aware of my own strengths now.
March 7th: By the way, in those immersia stories, the swordmasters always hide their true strength before a decisive battle.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Yep, those who boast "they'd win" usually end up losing.
March 7th: Yeah, that's usually how it goes.
Icon Dialogue Arrow So, did you just randomly throw out a number for your odds?
March 7th: Oh, you got me.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Will you be ready for the final showdown?
March 7th: Hope for the best, and prepare for the worst.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Are you really March 7th?
March 7th: Hey, even I can say things that sound profound and mysterious!
March 7th: You don't really think I'm dumb, do you?
Icon Dialogue Arrow Is that another line from an immersia?
March 7th: Yep, you're sharp.
Yunli: From the test, I can tell that you still need some time to master your swordplay, but you did pretty well. Milk tea is on me today!
March 7th: Yeah! Most of the staff have been evacuated safely, so right now our highest priority is to return to the master control zone and plan a counterattack! So... do you know how to use the elevator? I couldn't start it...
Moments later, in a dark corner on the Luofu...
IPC Worker: The progress report on the Nameless girl's sword training is complete. What should I do now, Specialist Skott?
Skott: Huh...!? Are you being sarcastic or something?
IPC Worker: I mean, don't I have other important tasks to do? It feels like a bit of a waste of time to keep tabs on some random girl's swordplay training...
Skott: A waste of time? No, this is about safeguarding the reputation of the IPC and the honor of the Amber Lord!
Skott: Are you saying that March 7th can actually take down an aurumaton from the Artisanship Commission with a sword? Come on, an aurumaton is no match for our state-of-the-art mechs!
Skott: Go and strengthen our mechs even further! I refuse to believe that little sliver of metal can actually challenge our cutting-edge technology!
IPC Worker: But the armor is already pretty thick.
Skott: No, it's not enough! Reinforce it more! If I lose face, it's like losing face for the IPC and the Amber Lord? Can we afford to let that happen?
IPC Worker: Understood...

Final Sword Trial

(After 4 days of sword training)
Yanqing: Before we start the test, there's something I need to tell you, Miss March. I've received a challenge letter from Skott.
Yanqing: He's made thorough preparations, contacting the Realm-Keeping Commission and getting approval for a "martial arts exchange event"... He even chose Aurum Alley as the venue. Seems like he has some connections there.
Yanqing: However, according to the rules, the person receiving the challenge letter has the right to decline the challenge.
March 7th: Declining would be like admitting defeat! Of course I'll accept it!
Yanqing: But before that, you need to pass the final test, the graduation exam.
Icon Dialogue Arrow You're graduating already, March?
March 7th: I'm surprised, too.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Is it that you don't want to teach her anymore, Master Yanqing?
March 7th: No way. Master Yanqing has been great to me.
Yunli: Well, it's not really graduation. It's just that the opponent for this exam is your master, Yanqing.
Yanqing: When General Jing Yuan was teaching me swordplay, he used to personally spar with me during crucial moments to assess my skills.
Yunli: After all, the master should be the one who is most aware of their student's strengths and weaknesses.
March 7th: But Master Yanqing, facing you in a duel... do I really stand a chance?
Yanqing: How will we ever find out if you don't even try? Are you only scared because I'm your opponent, Miss March?
Yunli: Unsheathe your swords and get ready, Miss March! The duel starts now!

(After passing the Sword Trial)
Yanqing: Not bad! You've made it this far, Miss March. You've passed the exam.
March 7th: Ohhhhhhh!
Icon Dialogue Arrow Yeah! Congratulations!
March 7th: Hehe, I told you compliments make me better.
Icon Dialogue Arrow The tests are all over, but the real trial is just about to begin.
March 7th: I get your point, but this isn't the time for deflections — quickly, say something nice about me!
Icon Dialogue Arrow Congrats! You're now officially a member of the "Bested Yanqing" club!
March 7th: Actually, I didn't defeat Master Yanqing...
Icon Dialogue Arrow Yeah! Congratulations!
March 7th: Oh, I've heard that line so many times before!
Yunli: With your swordplay skills, you can effortlessly take down IPC mechs, March.
March 7th: Yeah, I'm pretty confident too.
Yunli: But looking back, haven't you learned something more important than just swordplay?
March 7th: Yeah, I've not only learned swordplay from masters, but I've also met a bunch of people and gained a lot of insights from my experiences.
Yanqing: Those experiences will nourish your sword skills. It's just like Master Yunli said, "Everything can be a sword, and there are endless possibilities for learning swordplay in the vast world."
March 7th: ...That actually makes sense.

(If defeated in any Sword Trial)
March 7th: I've lost... If I can't even handle this kind of training, there's no way I'll beat Skott...
Yunli: Looks like fifteen days are too short to master swordplay.
Yanqing: ...Well, looks like we'll have to swallow our pride and ask Skott to abandon the duel.
March 7th: If I get another chance, I'll practice even harder and won't ever lose again!
Winning and losing are all part of the game, I encourage you to try again young hero.

March 7th: Now, I'd love to hear your suggestions on how to defeat Skott.
Select story direction
Icon Dialogue Arrow Defeat him fair and square with your sword.
March 7th: Yeah! I'll show Skott the power of the Xianzhou swordplay that he despises!
Icon Dialogue Arrow Maybe there's another method we can use...
March 7th: Hehe, let's do it. I already have an idea.

Yunli: I remember Yanqing once said, "There are many ways to defeat villains, but if you want to become a true hero, you have to focus on self-improvement."
Yunli: Do you feel any closer to becoming the great hero you've always dreamed of?
March 7th: Yes, absolutely! The great hero within me is definitely up to the task!

Engage in the promised duel

UI Adventure Mission Step Description

The promised time of fifteen days had already passed. March 7th needs to face the arrogant and domineering Skott, whether dueling him with her sword skills or seeking help from friends with whom she had spent a long time.
You must have figured out how to deal with him, right?
(After finishing all 5 endings)
Huohuo: Wow, your handwriting is so beautiful! Can you... teach Mr. Tail sometime?
Tail: Hey! This little one is getting cheeky! Now you're being sarcastic with me, huh?
Yunli: What are you writing, March?
March 7th: I'm writing a letter to the Astral Express. It's been a while, and I thought I should let them know that I'm safe and sound here. You know that poem from the Xianzhou, right? "We like March. Her shoes are purple, she is new and high..."
Yanqing: March, I don't think that poem is about you...
Silver Wolf: Huh? Writing a letter just to let the Crew know you're doing alright? Do you guys not have phones?
March 7th: That lacks a sense of propriety! I'm not just writing a letter. I'm writing a handwritten letter! I've gotta show them I'm really on the Xianzhou!
Jiaoqiu: You should also tell them about our glorious victory!
Qingque: I didn't skip work to watch you write a letter! Come on, let's play Celestial Jade together! Hurry up! Hurry up!
March 7th: Just give me a sec! I'll play with you once I'm done.
March 7th: Dear Himeko, Mr. Yang, and Pom-Pom, We're all good here on the Xianzhou Luofu, so no need to worry! By the way, how's your trip going?
