I added a few hundred words to last night's chapter. Readers who already purchased it can refresh it.
The third volume was finally finished.
The story covered a year, and writing it took a year in real life, too.
To be honest, I did deliberately slow down the characters' aging a little, but I truly never expected it to take so long to finish all these story arcs.

Chapters 508-620 formed the "First Signs of Promise" arc.
Chapters 621-699 formed the "Revenge for the Assassination" arc.
Chapters 700-886 formed the "Emergence Banquet" arc.

Using the first two arcs, "First Signs of Promise" and "Revenge for the Assassination," to define "Gathering the Xinghe" would have fit the theme more precisely, since they mainly focused on the emotional storylines. The Emergence Banquet could have stood alone as a volume, with a galaxy of brilliant stars as its theme.

Only the combination of all three truly represented combat strength.
In this volume, the protagonist, Chen Xiaojun, only rose from level 39 to
