    This novel is quite excellent; I felt as if I could witness the protagonist's unwavering pursuit of justice. It would be even more captivating if the story revolved around a single female lead. Many novels depict protagonists who, after transmigrating, are unable to change their circumstances and can only adapt to the world's rules, which makes me feel that transmigration loses its original meaning. While we cannot easily change the entire world, we can at least alter our surroundings within our capabilities. I hope the protagonist can always uphold their inner sense of justice and their original aspirations.

    In Chapter 9 of "The Long Night Sword Path," Xuan Chen woke up before dawn. Not from sleep, but from the sound of a gong outside. The Night Patrol had a rule: roll call at 3:45 AM; those absent would have merit points deducted. He got up and stretched. His ribs were fully healed, and he could use his left arm again. The Heart Lamp burned steadily in his sea of ​​consciousness, a small flame the size of a soybean, its warmth flowing throughout his body. He felt good. He went downstairs; a dozen or so people had already gathered in the hall. They were all Night Patrol members, wearing gray uniforms, swords at their waists, their faces showing the weariness of just waking up. Wang San was also there, and seeing Xuan Chen, he waved. "Come here, stand here." Xuan Chen stood down. Wang San gave him a wooden plaque with the words "Pending Test" engraved on it. "The test consists of three stages," Wang San said softly, "the Heart Lamp stage, the Perception stage, and the Combat stage. Captain Shi will personally supervise; don't try anything funny." Xuan Chen nodded. At precisely 3:45 AM, Shi Lie emerged from the back hall. He was wearing a clean uniform today, still with a black eyepatch over his left eye, but his right eye was exceptionally sharp, sweeping across the hall, causing everyone to straighten their backs. "Begin." --- The first trial, the Heart Lamp Trial. The venue was in the backyard, a square open space. Three stone lamps stood in the center, empty of oil, their wicks carved from Soul-Soothing Wood. Shi Lie pointed to the lamps: "Use your Heart Lamp to light them." Xuan Chen walked to the first lamp. He had tried using the Heart Lamp to ignite external objects—he had made a kindling with Soul-Soothing Wood chips in the Silent Forest. But those were small wood chips; this was a stone lamp, the wick three inches above the oil well. He needed to project the heat of the Heart Lamp outwards. He closed his eyes, sinking into his sea of ​​consciousness. The flame of the bronze lamp flickered in the darkness. He concentrated, imagining himself as a gust of wind blowing towards the flame— The flame suddenly surged! Warmth welled up from his heart, flowing through his meridians to his right hand. He extended his index finger, aiming it at the wick. "Hiss." A spark appeared at the tip of the wick, but it didn't ignite. Shi Lie remained expressionless: "Not enough." Xuan Chen took a deep breath and activated it again. This time, he held back, activating the Heart Lamp at full power! The flame, the size of a soybean, instantly grew to the size of a broad bean, warmth surging towards his fingertips like a tide— "Poof!" The wick ignited. The blue flame leaped three inches high, illuminating three feet around the stone lamp. Sweat beaded on Xuan Chen's forehead. The consumption was immense; this single action had depleted thirty percent of the Heart Lamp's power. But he didn't stop, moving towards the second lamp. With experience, he was faster this time. He adjusted his breathing, making the warmth more concentrated and refined— "Poof!" The second lamp lit up. The third lamp also lit up. The three stone lamps shone with a blue light in the dim backyard, like three small stars. Shi Lie nodded: "Pass." Xuan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, the flame of the Heart Lamp shrinking back to the size of a grain of rice. --- The second trial, the perception trial. The location changed to a dark room. The room was completely dark, with no lights. Twelve bells of varying sizes and materials hung on the four walls—some were made of bronze, some of iron, and some of bone. Shi Lie stood in the doorway: "Close your eyes and listen. When the bells ring, tell me which wall it is and which one it is." Xuan Chen closed his eyes. The room was quiet, with only his own breathing. "Ding." A soft sound came from the left. Xuan Chen immediately said, "Left wall, the second one." "Correct." "Ding-a-ling." Two sounds, one after the other. "Right wall, the fifth and seventh." "Correct." "Ding... Ding... Ding-ding-ding..." This time it was more complicated; six bells rang in succession, some fast and some slow. Xuan Chen listened intently. His rule-based vision unconsciously activated—although his eyes were closed, in his perception, the bells were not physical objects, but rather "vibration points." The bronze bells vibrated at a high frequency, the iron bells at a low frequency, and the bone bells were the heaviest. He quickly reported the positions: "Front wall, one, three, four; left wall, six; right wall, nine, twelve." "All correct." Shi Lie paused: "The last round." No sound. Xuan Chen waited three breaths, but there was still no sound. But he felt something—not a sound, but a vibration. A very subtle vibration, coming from the ground, like something crawling behind the wall. "Underground," he said, "something is moving, moving from the back wall to the left wall." Shi Lie was silent for a few seconds. "Turn on the light." The light came on. Xuan Chen opened his eyes and saw that Shi Lie was holding a copper bell, but he wasn't shaking it. And in the corner of the back wall and the left wall, there was a thin crack, and something grayish-white was wriggling in the crack—it was one of those splitting worms. "How did you know?" Shi Lie asked. "…I felt it." Shi Lie stared at him for a few moments, but didn't press further: "Pass." --- The third level, the practical level. The arena returned to the backyard, but there was one more person. It was a young team member, in his early twenties, with a strong build, holding a standard longsword. His name was Zhao Mang, the deputy captain of the third team, and it was said that he was only one step away from the Night Patrol Realm. Shi Lie said, "Fight him for half an incense stick's time. If you can hold out, you've won." Xuan Chen drew his Guardian Blade. Zhao Mang grinned, "Kid, watch out." He charged forward, slashing with his blade! The speed was incredible, the wind whistling through the air. Xuan Chen dodged to the side, countering with a horizontal slash of his Guardian Blade. Zhao Mang raised his blade to block— "Clang!" The two blades clashed, sparks flying. Xuan Chen's arm went numb, and he staggered back two steps. Zhao Mang was stronger than him; a direct confrontation would be disadvantageous. Zhao Mang pressed his advantage, unleashing three consecutive slashes, each one ruthless, all techniques from actual combat. Xuan Chen could only retreat, using his Guardian Blade to block, but with each block, his arm grew even more numb. No, he couldn't block them head-on. He took a deep breath, activating his Rule Vision. In his eyes, Zhao Mang's movements were no longer simple slashes, but a series of flowing "force lines." The trajectory of each slash, the strength of its power, the location of its openings—all were clearly visible. Zhao Mang swung his blade again. This time, Xuan Chen neither blocked nor retreated. He slightly turned his body, his Guardian Blade thrusting diagonally, the tip touching the side of Zhao Mang's blade a third of the way down— "Clang!" Zhao Mang's blade was deflected, and he staggered, revealing an opening. Xuan Chen seized the opportunity to step forward, his blade aimed straight for his chest! But Zhao Mang reacted extremely quickly, raising his left hand to block the blade tip with the leather armor on his arm. At the same time, his right hand swung back, aiming straight for Xuan Chen's neck! Xuan Chen retreated hastily, the blade grazing his throat, leaving a bloody gash. A close call. The two faced off again. Zhao Mang's eyes changed, his contempt vanishing: "Interesting." He attacked again, but this time it wasn't a wide, sweeping attack, but a dense net of blades, one strike after another, sealing off all escape routes. Xuan Chen's pressure increased greatly. Although his Rule Vision could see the opening, his body couldn't keep up. Zhao Mang was too fast, too strong, and far more experienced than him. At this rate, he wouldn't last even half an incense stick's time. His mind raced. Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him—the ability to guide microscopic dust. He hadn't used this ability before, only knowing it could guide the trajectory of microscopic rules. But what was a "trajectory"? Would the trajectory of a blade count? He'd try. Xuan Chen stared at the trajectory of Zhao Mang's next strike. In his rule-based vision, it was a bright "line of force," extending from Zhao Mang's shoulder to the tip of the blade. He concentrated his mind, imagining himself as a ruler, gently stroking that line—Zhao Mang's blade deviated by three inches. Just three inches. But that was enough. Xuan Chen sidestepped, the blade grazing his chest, while simultaneously thrusting his Guardian Blade towards Zhao Mang's left ribs! Zhao Mang was shocked, hastily withdrawing his blade to defend, but he was a fraction of a second too late. The blade tip pierced his leather armor, drawing a bloody gash. The two separated. Zhao Mang looked down at his wound, then up at Xuan Chen, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "What did you do?" Xuan Chen sheathed his blade: "A little trick." Shi Lie's voice rang out: "Time's up." Half an incense stick had burned out. Zhao Mang exhaled and sheathed his sword: "You won." "I didn't win." "If you could hurt me, you won." Zhao Mang walked over and patted Xuan Chen on the shoulder. "Kid, welcome to the team." --- Passed all three tests. When Xuan Chen returned to the hall, everyone looked at him. Their eyes held curiosity, envy, and resentment. Shi Lie sat in the main seat. On the table were a gray uniform, a standard longsword, and an iron badge. "Xuan Chen, from today onwards, you are a reserve member of the Third Patrol Team," Shi Lie said. "You will receive three pieces of Soul-Soothing Wood, five catties of grain, and a jug of water per month. Completing patrol missions will earn you additional merit points." "Yes." "Put on the uniform, and take the sword." Shi Lie handed him the iron badge. "This is your identification tag. The front has your name, and the back has your merit points—currently zero. Don't lose it; you'll need a replacement for twenty silver dollars." Xuan Chen took it. The iron badge was cold; the front was engraved with "Xuan Chen," and the back with "Zero." "Wang San," Shi Lie called out. "Here!" "Take him under your wing, familiarize him with the rules, and teach him basic swordsmanship." "Yes!" Shi Lie stood up and walked to Xuan Chen: "This afternoon, I'll take you to retrieve what your master left behind." Xuan Chen's heart skipped a beat: "Yes." --- In the afternoon, Shi Lie led Xuan Chen to the basement of the Night Patrol Division. The basement was deep, requiring three flights of stairs to descend. Each floor had an iron door and guards. The last door was a thick iron plate, engraved with runes. Shi Lie took out his key and opened the door. Inside was a small room, not large, with several iron cabinets. Shi Lie opened one of the cabinets and took out an iron box. The box was small, about a foot long and half a foot wide, entirely black, and unlocked. "Your master put it here thirty years ago." Shi Lie handed the box to Xuan Chen, "He said to wait for his disciple to come and retrieve it." Xuan Chen took the box; it was heavy. He opened it. Inside were only two items. A thin booklet, the cover blank. And a jade pendant, bluish-white, engraved with flame patterns—very similar to Su Xin's, but larger and with more complex patterns. Xuan Chen picked up the booklet first. He opened it, and the first page read: "To my disciple: If you see this book, it means your master has departed. Do not search, do not ask, focus on your own path." It was his master's handwriting. Xuan Chen's hand trembled slightly as he continued flipping through the pages. The first half of the booklet contained cultivation insights, detailing the methods, precautions, and potential dangers for breaking through from the Lighting Lamp Realm to the Guardian Fire Realm. The second half contained the key points of several sword techniques, footwork, and breathing methods. The last few pages contained a few sentences: "The long night is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one. The gray-robed man seeks to reshape the rules; his heart is despicable, his will terrifying. The Measuring Ruler shattered, the Heavenly Dao was wounded; this is both a calamity and an opportunity. If you obtain a fragment, use it with caution. The ruler can measure the heavens, and it can also measure the heart. The Guardian Heart Blade was passed down from the Celestial Patrol Bureau; those who wield it must guard their original heart and never forget where they came from." Xuan Chen finished reading and remained silent for a long time. His master had known all this all along. He knew the Long Night was a man-made disaster, knew the gray-robed man's purpose, and knew the importance of the fragments of the Measuring Ruler. But he said nothing. Why? Xuan Chen put down the booklet and picked up the jade pendant. The jade pendant was warm to the touch, with a familiar aura—of the same origin as the Heart Lamp, but purer and more vast. Holding it in his hand, even the flame of the Heart Lamp shone a little brighter. Shi Lie looked at the jade pendant, his eyes flickering slightly: "This is... The Fire Guardian Token." "The Fire Guardian Token?" "The identification certificate of a formal member of the Sky Patrol Bureau." Shi Lie said, "The holder of the token can mobilize a portion of the power of the Fire Seed and also gain the recognition of the ancient inheritance. Your master gave this to you, the meaning is very clear." Xuan Chen gripped the jade pendant tightly. His master had left everything to him. The path, the sword, the identity, the responsibility. "Captain Shi," Xuan Chen looked up, "Where... Where did my master go?" Shi Lie remained silent for a long time. "He went to the Sky's Edge." "What kind of place is that?" "An ancient battlefield, the source of the Long Night." Shi Lie turned and looked into the depths of the iron cabinet. "There are the last ruins of the Sky Patrol Bureau, and also the greatest secret of the Gray Robe Man. Your master went to find the answer—or rather, to end it all." "Can he come back?" "I don't know." Shi Lie said, "But you are his disciple, you should walk your own path." Xuan Chen put away the booklet and the jade pendant. "I will." --- Back on the ground, it was already evening. The sky was a dark red, and the lights of Gray Rock Ridge lit up one by one. Wang San was waiting for him in the courtyard. When he saw him come out, he grinned: "Come on, let me treat you to a drink—to celebrate your joining the team." Xuan Chen nodded. The two walked out of the Night Patrol Bureau and came to a small wine shop in the central city. The shop was very shabby, with only three tables. The owner was a one-armed old man who brought over two bowls of turbid wine and a dish of salted beans. Wang San raised his bowl: "Bottoms up!" Xuan Chen took a sip; the wine was very spicy, making him cough. Wang San laughed, "First time drinking? Take your time." The two chatted as they drank. Wang San said he was a local from Gray Rock Ridge. He was only fifteen when the long night fell, his parents had died, and he joined the Night Patrol to make a living. He had been working there for five years and was now a veteran member, but his cultivation was stuck at the mid-stage of the Lighting Realm, unable to advance. "Captain Shi is a good guy, just strict," Wang San said. "Don't mind Zhao Mang, he has a bad temper, but he's not a bad person at heart. There are a few other brothers in the team; you'll see them on patrol tomorrow." Xuan Chen listened and nodded. Halfway through their drinks, a commotion suddenly arose outside. The two peeked out. On the street, a group of Black Flag Gang members were escorting several people past. The people being escorted were ragged, their hands and feet were shackled, and their heads were down. "Are those... Scavengers?" Xuan Chen asked. "Hmm." Wang San's face darkened. "The Black Flag Gang is arresting people again." "What for?" "I don't know." Wang San shook his head. "Some say they're going to mine, some say they're going to do experiments, and some say… sacrifices." Xuan Chen gripped his bowl tightly. He thought of Liu Qi. Where was she now? Was she safe? Just then, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd of prisoners—it was Scarface. He had his head down, his face was scarred, but it was indeed Scarface. Scarface also saw Xuan Chen, his eyes flashed, then he lowered his head, not recognizing him. The procession moved away. Wang San sighed: "In this world, just surviving is difficult enough."
