After tomorrow's update, Wanderers will be able to venture deep into Weiyang City's [Huaxu Forest] and explore this dreamlike land wreathed in fragrance. Flowers drip with dew, willows breathe mist, and the fragrant haze flickers in and out of sight, laying bare the desires of all who look upon it. When traveling through the [Huaxu Forest], Wanderers must not indulge in the pleasure of the soothing scent. The forest holds many dangers, so stay especially alert. Beyond the field boss "Zhenyue", there are also three brand-new strongholds that are worth exploring with caution. [Binzhu Wharf] was once a place of wealth, where gold and silver gleamed and pearls vied for radiance. Yet for some reason, a muffled sobbing can always be heard from beneath the sea cliffs, and no one knows what blood and tears lie behind it. On the outskirts of the Huaxu Forest, the long-abandoned and uninhabited [Yuliu Stockade] flickers with pinpoints of candlelight at night. In this place that everyone shuns, an old promise awaits a Wanderer to come and bear witness. When the night is deep and the mist is heavy, Wanderers may also encounter the legendary ghost ship [Wugui Vessel] docking beside the Huaxu Forest. With broken oars and a shattered mast, and ghost fires flickering on and off, is it water ghosts clambering up the gunwales to claim lives, or is someone playing tricks?
*This is an in-development effect; the final release version shall prevail. Starting November 8 (this Sunday), wanderers can also follow the midnight song into the depths of Huaxu Forest and begin a brand-new Heroic Trail story. Tomorrow marks the start of the "Nanlü Harmony · Part II" season. As wanderers step into a new realm of martial arts, they will naturally need stronger opponents to test themselves against. New Heroic Realms and Sword Trials stand ready, awaiting wanderers who join forces with their comrades to conquer perilous passes together—
All-New Sword Trials
[Wall Shadow Sweeps Autumn]
Within the secret realm, the [Lost Trail Gecko] has long been lurking in the shadows, waiting for its prey to enter.
Geckos hunting insects is only natural, except this time, the "insect" is the Ranger. This mechanical construct moves with startling speed. When its deadly tongue lashes through the air, a moment's hesitation leaves you with no way to dodge, and a lack of strength leaves you unable to break free.
*Effects are still in pre-development and are subject to change in the final release. That said, getting tangled up in that long tongue isn't necessarily all bad. In the middle of a tug-of-war lies a chance to turn the tables: if the Ranger can gain the upper hand in the struggle, the [Mirage Gecko] will also expose a rare opening. But the tongue isn't the only thing that's hard to deal with. It carries a massively powerful fuel tank inside its body. Once it spits fire, the whole ground ignites, leaving nowhere to stand. Where to dodge and how to dodge it will depend on the Ranger's quick wits.
Effects shown are from pre-research and are subject to the final release. After clearing this stage, the broom-wielding boy at the gate of Shuangyuan Residence will be your next opponent. There's an unwritten rule in the jianghu: the more humble the sweeper, the less you should provoke him. Perhaps sweeping day after day really can lead to some insight into martial arts. When you meet this boy again today, besides his already troublesome red ribbon, even the restless wind swirling across the arena has become his helper. In this fight, the Wanderer's top priority is to quickly gather the fallen leaves bit by bit in front of you, piling them up into a foothold of your own. A proud Wanderer fighting a sweeping boy over fallen leaves would make quite the amusing tale in the jianghu. Just be warned: if the angry red ribbon whips you up into the sky, it'll be every man for himself when you come down!
*This is a work-in-progress effect. Please refer to the final release.
A Brand-New Wuxia Realm
[The Slanting Moon Rises with the Tide]
As the wind stills and the leaves fall, on the other side, the Xia Realm trial beneath the water has only just begun. Upon meeting the Tide Watcher again, rangers will have to be temporarily separated from their comrades in battle. A few of them will take on the duty of "Reading the Currents." What "Reading the Currents" reveals are the undercurrents lurking in this very moment. The shape of each killing blow and where it will land must all be committed to memory, one by one.
*Effects shown are still in pre-development. Please refer to the final release. Once the Ranger has finished "Reading the Tide," the water's surface may still be silent. No waves have risen, yet the killing field is already set. Only the marks held in memory can show comrades a place to set foot.
*预研中效果，请以最终上线为准 纵能预见杀机，也未必能躲过每一分危险。再往海的深处去，[Moonpillow]已在浪间，静候晚餐上门。
Correction: I must output in English only. Here is the final translation:
*Effects shown are still in pre-research; please refer to the final release. Even if you can foresee the killing intent, you may not dodge every last bit of danger. Deeper into the sea, [Moonpillow] already lies among the waves, waiting for its dinner to come to the door. The moon sinks to the seabed, and it sleeps pillowed on the waves, a born lethal hunter. Phantom-colored toxic light flows slowly along its tentacles, and a few translucent little jellyfish bob with the waves. It does not search, and it does not wait; it simply drifts, and dinner delivers itself. If the Ranger does not wish to attend this feast on the seabed, they must use the toxins in the many-colored bubbles to temporarily suppress the hunger of the little ones. If they are left to starve into a frenzy, there will be no room left to maneuver. When feeding them, you must also watch which toxin has afflicted you: the same phantom-colored toxin cannot be suffered a second time.
*Effects are still in pre-research; please refer to the final release version.
When the pillowed moon sleeps no more, the waves tear themselves loose from the dream. Wanderers, try a mighty Thousand-Pound Drop onto a jellyfish's bell. A boneless thing takes force best, and returns it best. One plunge and one rebound may send you soaring high, over the layered waves of tidal sound. Beware: stepping on a jellyfish also afflicts you with Phantom Hue Venom, and if the venom of the same color takes effect, your life will be in danger.
*Effects shown are still in pre-research; please refer to the final release. As the two blades clash, the "King of a Hundred Weapons" will also show its edge all across the Jianghu—
Major Gameplay Update
[Chronicle of Hidden Blades] New Martial Arts and New Stages Arrive
After tomorrow's update, a legendary martial art will join [Chronicle of Hidden Blades]—the spear—along with its corresponding martial arts, 「Nameless Spear Art·Frost」 and 「Nine-Bend Soul-Shaking Spear·Fury」, making their official debut! In [Chronicle of Hidden Blades], the light attacks, heavy attacks, martial art skills, and special skills of these two martial arts will all be enhanced. Through both in-run and out-of-run progression, wanderers can push their moves beyond their original limits.
*Effects shown are from pre-research and subject to change; please refer to the final release. With the right "Hero Marks" combination, they can unleash this kind of power, giving wuxia heroes an ultimate single-martial-art combat experience.
*Effects shown are still in pre-research; the final release version shall prevail. More fresh martial arts experiences await you, Wanderers, when you try your blade in [Chronicle of Hidden Blades] tomorrow. This update also adjusts many martial arts, Scar Marks, and more. For full details, please see the complete announcement. With new weapons and ultimate arts in hand, you'll naturally need worthy opponents to test your edge against. After tomorrow's update, the Normal and Challenge difficulties of the new stage [Volume IX: Wicked Frenzy, Laughing Bones] will also open at the same time. In addition, the new mode [Frenzied Blade Battle] will meet you Wanderers at a later date, bringing unique gameplay mechanics and tougher challenges. Stay tuned!
