After experiencing these events, San Yue Qi found her own reason to learn swordsmanship and asked Xing for advice.

Translation: After experiencing these things, San Yue Qi also found her reason for learning swordsmanship, and she asked Xing if he had any advice.

We need to keep the meaning exactly. Use "San Yue Qi" for San Yue Qi. "Xing" for Xing.

"Relying on friends when going out, one will always encounter strange adventures."

Translation: "Relying on friends when going out, one will always encounter strange adventures."

(given)

Thus line 【2】 translation: "Relying on friends when going out, one will always encounter strange adventures."

But we need to output with 【2】 prefix.

"The strange adventures from swordsmanship novels,

Translation: "Are you talking about the strange encounters in swordsmanship novels? But what could I possibly encounter…"

We need to keep the trailing ellipsis. So: "Are you talking about the strange encounters in swordsmanship novels? But what could I possibly encounter…"

——

Translation: — (maybe just an em dash). We'll output: — (or —?). The source is two em dashes? Actually "——" is two em dashes? We'll output: — (maybe just a single em dash?). To be safe, we output: — (one em dash). But we need to keep the same? I'd output: — (a single em dash). However the source is two em dashes; but translation likely just a dash. We'll output: —.

Translation: Honkai 3.

yes

Translation: Qi Ana raised her hand, excited: "Just like in martial arts novels! San Yue Qi, in the deep mountains and old forests of the Immortal Vessel, encountered an immortal hermit living there! The immortal was amazed by her bone structure, a once-in-ten-thousand sword-training prodigy, and then 'whoosh' imparted to her a peerless sword technique!"

yes (note but includes Chinese line)

Chinese line, 【37】 note.

Translation: Fu Hua, who was drinking water nearby, seemed to have been choked, and began coughing violently.

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【37】 is a note about translation, but the Chinese line is 【34】. So we skip 【37】 as it's not a Chinese line.

Chinese line, 【45】 note.

Translation: "I-it's nothing." Fu Hua, after finally catching her breath, pushed up her glasses and said, "Qi Ana, the Immortal Vessel is a huge ship; although it has an ancient sea, it has no mountains or rivers. Even an immortal must be registered in the Terran Balance Bureau's population registry. Moreover, the person on the Immortal Vessel closest to a Sword Immortal... even their Demonic Shadow Form acts up from time to time."

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【45】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【42】. Skip.

【50】

Translation: "Indeed, rather than pinning hopes on an illusory immortal, it's better to stay grounded and solidify the foundations of swordsmanship." Yayi also chimed in.

Chinese line, 【53】 note.

Translation: "Eh—why are you all so serious?"

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【53】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【50】. Skip.

【60】

Translation: Qi Ana puffed her cheeks and sat back on the sofa: "Just imagine a little—encountering an immortal doesn't have to be in the mountains; it could also be in some ancient cave heaven. Monitor, didn't Divine Land used to have many immortal legends? The Immortal Vessel and Divine Land share many architectural styles; they might even have some connection."

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【57】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【54】. Skip.

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【87】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【84】. Skip.

【92】

Translation: "Also great?" Huo Huo looked at her, puzzled: "San Yue Xiaojie, have you recently encountered something that's causing you a lot of pressure?"

Chinese line, 【95】 note.

Chinese line, 【103】 note.

Translation: "Well, I more or less understand; it's not easy to master a sword technique in a short time, so it's no surprise that San Yue Xiaojie feels pressured. I—I know some evil-warding sword techniques; if you need them…"

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【103】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【100】. Skip.

【108】

Translation: Weiba scoffed suddenly: "Forget it, you can't even hold a sword steady—with that level, you still want to help others?"

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【107】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【104】. Skip.

yes

Translation: Huo Huo refused to back down, quickly retorting: "... I—I can't hold it steady, and you can't even hold one at all?"

We need to keep the ellipsis. We'll output: Huo Huo refused to back down, quickly retorting: "... I—I can't hold it steady, and you can't even hold one at all?"

【116】

Translation: "Oh ho… you little coward still dare to talk back. If I possessed you, you'd definitely not lose to that blond brat from the Divine Strategy Manor when you step onto the Martial Arts Ceremony stage."

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【115】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【112】. Skip.

Chinese line, 【119】 note.

Translation: San Yue Qi wasn't quite convinced: "Master Yan Qing really is that strong—Old Master Weiba wouldn't be bragging, would he?"

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【119】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【116】. Skip.

【126】

Translation: "Hmph, as long as I possess someone with superb sword skill, absorbing their memories and emotions, this old master can master the same sword technique! If you want to learn that blond brat's sword technique, isn't this the fastest way?"

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【123】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【120】. Skip.

Translation: —.

yes

Translation: Assassin Wu Liuqi.

【132】

Translation: "Isn't this still simple? Let Weiba possess Yan Qing, then possess San Yue Qi—wouldn't that be a sure win?"

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【131】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【128】. Skip.

Chinese line, 【135】 note.

Translation: "Ah Qi… you idiot, how could Yan Qing possibly find out about this?" Ji Da Bao adjusted the sunglasses on his face: "This is just like cheating—would you go ask the exam supervisor for the answers? Damn you!"

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【135】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【132】. Skip.

【140】

Translation: "As for that person with superb sword skill… besides Yan Qing Yunli, who else could there be? It's impossible to possess Jing Yuan, right?" Wu Liuqi scratched his head.

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【139】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【136】. Skip.

Chinese line, 【143】 note.

Translation: "You two have the wrong idea." Lanminghua glanced at the two helplessly, sighed lightly, and said, "The point isn't to possess someone with superb sword skill; even if it's cheating, we shouldn't be messing around with these Immortal Vessel people like Yan Qing."

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【143】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【140】. Skip.

【148】

Translation: "Huh? Then who should we possess?"

We'll output: "Huh? Then who should we possess?"

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【148】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【144】. Skip.

Translation: Lanminghua waved her hand: "It's simple… if we're going to possess someone, it's naturally Dan Heng or Xing, since we're all train people; they definitely wouldn't want San Yue Qi to embarrass herself outside. Even if they can't swordfight, it's fine as long as Dan Heng's martial arts are replicated perfectly."

【157】

「……」

Translation: "" (just empty quotes). We'll output: "".

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【154】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【151】. Skip.

Translation: Seeing the two completely unconvinced, Lanminghua narrowed her eyes: "How? Do you think it's impossible? If we don't possess Dan Heng or Xing, who else could we possess? Surely not Si Ke Te, right?"

Chinese line.

【167】

【172】

Translation: "Time is tight; borrowing a save file wouldn't be bad."

We'll output: "Time is tight; borrowing a save file wouldn't be bad."

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【176】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【172】. Skip.

Translation: San Yue Qi suddenly realized: "Save, save file? That really is like asking a high-end player for a save file. But anyway, once Old Master Weiba leaves, I'll still have nothing on my end."

【183】

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【180】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【179】. Skip.

Translation: "San Yue Xiaojie also thinks this isn't good, right?"

yes

【188】

【196】

Translation: Time flew by, and two days later they ran into Huo Huo again in Star Raft Sea; seeing her listless, they went up to ask.

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【195】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【192】. Skip.

Chinese line, 【199】 note.

Translation: Huo Huo said that recently they had found two "zombies" near Sui Garden; although called zombies, the victims were actually still alive, with no wounds and no yearly yang, yet they kept repeating certain strange behaviors.

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【199】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【196】. Skip.

【204】

Translation: Since these people were all participants in the Martial Arts Ceremony, Huo Huo and Weiba speculated that it might be related to the escaped yearly yang. Considering that San Yue Qi also had to participate in the ceremony, they earnestly warned her to stay safe.

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【203】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【200】. Skip.

Chinese line, 【208】 note.

Translation: After saying that, Huo Huo hurried away.

We'll output: After saying that, Huo Huo hurried away.

【212】

Translation: "If that yearly yang specifically targets Martial Arts Ceremony participants… Xing, why don't we, when we have free time, go to Sui Garden to try our luck? Maybe we could help Huo Huo as well."

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【211】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【208】. Skip.

Chinese line, 【215】 note.

Translation: Xing agreed, and that night she went to Sui Garden; since the yearly yang's target was clear, as expected, they quickly found San Yue Qi.

note but includes Chinese line? Actually 【215】 is note about translation, Chinese line is 【212】. Skip.

Now we need to translate each.
