• Cecily jokingly put Fang Li in a chokehold, and he accepted the close contact rather than resisting.
• Ten minutes later, Cecily scattered talismans into the air, formed a hand seal, and began her attack by invoking an Edict.

After Fang Li and Cecily fought to a draw, Cecily explained how formidable their Senior Brother Wu Xiaohui was and shared her ambition to surpass Fan Xinglu. Watching them bond, Fan Xinglu eagerly considered giving Fang Li something that could help him grow stronger.

• Cecily praised Fang Li after their fight and said he could have rivaled Wu Xiaohui if he had trained under Fan Xinglu longer.

With two months left before the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, Fang Li and Cecily trained just enough to support each other in battle while focusing mainly on their own routines.

• Fan Xinglu took Fang Li to Star Guidance Hall, surprising him because she rarely appeared in public.
• Claudia Enfield greeted Fan Xinglu and Fang Li at the academy gates and introduced herself as Star Guidance Academy's Student Council President.

Fan Xinglu brought Fang Li to Star Guidance Hall, where Student Council President Claudia Enfield introduced herself and Pandora, her Pure Star Imperial Armament, reacted unexpectedly when she shook Fang Li’s hand. Fang Li sensed the red crystals watching and smiling at him, and he found the encounter interesting.

• Claudia Enfield, Star Guidance Hall’s second-ranked student and holder of Pandora, welcomed Fan Xinglu and asked why she had come.

• Pandora’s Activation Bodies began buzzing and glowing red as soon as Claudia touched Fang Li.
• Claudia and Fan Xinglu realized Pandora had reacted to Fang Li, while Fang Li saw the crystals as if they were staring at and smiling at him.

Fang Li was chosen by Pandora, but the Pure Star Imperial Armament drew him into a dream where Sylvie killed him to bring back her teacher, Ursula. The vision left Fang Li dying in the redevelopment district.

• Fang Li asked Claudia to let him examine Pandora, and she warned him that the conscious Pure Star Imperial Armament could be dangerous.
• Fang Li took Pandora’s Activation Bodies, which transformed into twin swords and accepted him as a user.
• Pandora’s light flared again, and Fang Li closed his eyes as Claudia realized he had been dragged into a dream.
• Fang Li found himself in a ruined area and saw Sylvie, who apologized before stabbing him through the heart.
• Sylvie said Ursula had told her that killing Fang Li was the only way to bring her back, and Fang Li recognized the redevelopment district before losing consciousness.

Fang Li endured Pandora’s visions of his many possible deaths and used his Ice-Blue Demon Eyes to cut the dream apart. He returned the frightened weapon to Claudia, leaving her to confront the meaning of the deaths she had endured for years.

• Pandora trapped Fang Li in a dream where he experienced death in many forms, including deaths inflicted by Fan Xinglu, Zhao Hufeng, Cecily, the Li Siblings, and Jie Long students.

• Fang Li returned the twin blades to Claudia and said the repeated deaths had been boring.
• Claudia stared at Pandora’s Activation Body, reflecting on how she had endured those deaths for years.

Fan Xinglu brought Fang Li to Star Guidance Hall and toured the academy with Claudia, while Fang Li wondered why they had come. Fan Xinglu began explaining Jie Long’s scarcity of Pure Star Imperial Armaments and left him with a question about Senior Brother Zhao’s weapon.

• Fan Xinglu and Claudia discussed the differences between their academies as they walked through Star Guidance Hall, while students eyed Fang Li warily as a potential competitor.
• Fang Li asked Fan Xinglu why she had brought him to Star Guidance Hall, and she said his purpose would become clear if fate allowed it.
• Fan Xinglu explained that Jie Long had few Pure Star Imperial Armaments because many students avoided relying on their power.
• Fang Li recalled that Senior Brother Zhao used a Pure Star Imperial Armament called the Heaven-Piercing Boots.

Fang Li learned that Jielong was retrieving a Pure Star Imperial Armament from Star Guidance Academy and intended for him to use it. The chapter ended as Fan Xinglu introduced the armament, Bō Xié.

• Fan Xinglu explained that Zhao Hufeng avoided relying on the Heaven-Piercing Boots to remind himself to improve his own martial skills.
• Fang Li realized Jielong lent Pure Star Imperial Armaments to other academies in exchange for benefits and data.
• Fang Li worried that a Pure Star Imperial Armament might control or abandon its user, but Claudia explained that the one they sought was a tolerant germaphobe who valued regular maintenance.
• Claudia led Fang Li and Fan Xinglu to a laboratory, where Fan Xinglu identified the displayed armament as Jielong Seventh Academy's Bō Xié.

Fang Li learned that Fan Xinglu required him to reach a 90% suitability rate to wield Bō Xié, so he washed himself before attempting to bond with the conscious Pure Star Imperial Armament. His test ended with a suitability rate of just 13%.

• Fan Xinglu explained that Fang Li needed at least 90% suitability to take Bō Xié, while Claudia noted that Star Guidance Hall required 80%.
• Fang Li asked to use the bathroom so he could wash himself, hoping Bō Xié’s clean-freak personality would improve their compatibility.
• After twenty minutes, Fang Li returned to the laboratory and activated Bō Xié, forming its pure-white One-Handed Sword.
• Fang Li channeled his Star Pulse Energy into Bō Xié, and the displayed suitability rate came back as 13%.
• Fan Xinglu murmured that the result still would not work.

Fang Li awakened the Holy Mark while testing his compatibility with Bō Xié, driving the rate to 100% and passing the test. He discovered that the Pure Star Imperial Armament was a Third Level weapon that could alter and manipulate objects it touched.

• Fang Li poured his Star Pulse Energy into Bō Xié, but the compatibility rate rose slowly to only 27%.
• Fang Li sensed that Bō Xié wanted him to demonstrate greater worthiness and released the Holy Mark within his soul.
• Bō Xié shone brilliantly as Fang Li's compatibility rate surged past 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60%.
• The staff member announced that Fang Li had reached a final compatibility rate of 100%, delighting Fan Xinglu and surprising Claudia.
• Fang Li examined Bō Xié's information and learned that the Third Level weapon could alter and manipulate objects it touched.

Fang Li learned that Bō Xié was a Third Level Pure Star Imperial Armament forged by Fan Xinglu in her prime, and that he was its first compatible user. Claudia then asked Fang Li and Fan Xinglu to duel an opponent prepared by Star Guidance Academy.

• Fang Li canceled Bō Xié's materialization after realizing it was Third Level equipment.
• Claudia revealed that Bō Xié belonged to the first-generation Myriad Heavenly Net, who was Fan Xinglu.
• Claudia explained that Bō Xié had been passed among academies for research because no one had previously achieved a high compatibility rate.
• Fang Li realized Fan Xinglu had forged Bō Xié to strengthen her disciples and prepare them to fulfill her desire for battle.
• Claudia asked Fang Li and Fan Xinglu to duel the opponent Star Guidance Academy had prepared.

Fang Li questioned Fan Xinglu about agreeing to Claudia’s request for a duel to study Bō Xié, but accepted his master’s decision. When Claudia brought Star Guidance Academy’s top-ranked student, Kiririn Ditou, and her uncle Koichiro Ditou to the training room, Koichiro insulted Fang Li and challenged his worth, leaving the room tense.

• Fang Li argued that revealing Bō Xié’s abilities before the Phoenix Star Martial Festival gave him no benefit, but Fan Xinglu said the duel sounded interesting.
• Claudia arrived with Koichiro Ditou and the timid-looking Kiririn Ditou, Star Guidance Academy’s number-one-ranked student.
• Fang Li recognized Kiririn as a thirteen-year-old prodigy and learned that Koichiro was her uncle and an Integrated Enterprise Conglomerate executive candidate.
• Koichiro looked down on Fang Li for being an unranked freshman and asked Claudia whether he really had enough value to warrant the duel.
• Fan Xinglu watched with interest as Fang Li fixed his gaze on Koichiro and the training room’s atmosphere grew tense.

Fang Li faced Kiririn Ditou in a duel arranged to collect data on Bō Xié. The chapter ended as Kiririn charged and her katana clashed with Fang Li’s pure-white sword.

• Fang Li ignored Koichiro Ditou’s insults while Claudia explained why Kiririn was suited to the data-gathering duel.
• Koichiro ordered Kiririn to finish quickly, and she silently obeyed by taking up her katana, Senba Giri.
• Fan Xinglu noted that Kiririn had defeated Star Guidance Hall’s former number one with an ordinary weapon.
• Kiririn’s demeanor shifted as she prepared to fight, and Fang Li summoned a pure-white sword from his Activation Body.
• Kiririn charged Fang Li and struck his sword, beginning the duel.
