Bai Chenxiang's image slowly faded from the Sky Screen. The letter she had never sent dissolved into points of light and vanished into the air.
The shouting on the training ground had not stopped. Some people were still wiping their eyes; others were still spitting in Ma Hongjun's direction.
New words surfaced at the center of the Sky Screen, stroke by stroke, their golden glow almost painfully bright.

[Second place—]
[Spirit Hall Golden Generation]
Several people in Spirit Hall's section sat up straight at once.
Bibi Dong paused for an instant as she set down her teacup.
Xie Yue and Yan exchanged a glance. Yan still wore a smile as he nudged Xie Yue's arm with his elbow. "Well, it's our turn."
Xie Yue did not answer. His eyelids lowered slightly as he looked toward the Sky Screen.
Hu Liena sat half a step behind Bibi Dong. Her fingers twisted her cuff without her noticing, then let go.
The Sky Screen lit up.
First came an old recording. Three young people stood in Spirit Hall's training grounds with the setting sun behind them, their shadows stretching far ahead.
Xie Yue was seventeen, tall and lean, with a Moon Blade at his waist. He smiled with his head tilted, a trace of seriousness beneath his roguish air. Yan was sixteen, the Flame Pattern Martial Soul hovering over his palm, his eyes bright as fire. Hu Liena was eighteen. She stood between them with her arms folded and her chin slightly raised, gazing past the training grounds into the distance.
