"Zhou Lingyun pushed open the door!"
"Awesome, Brother Zhou!!"

Zhou Lingyun snapped back to reality, only then realizing he had broken free from the illusion realm. He looked back to see excited fellow students all around.
Zhou Lingyun suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly took a white chess piece from his waist, turned around, and quickly returned to Su Yuan, offering it with both hands.
"Thank you, Royal Envoy, for your help. I am fortunate not to have failed my mission!"
Zhou Lingyun's gaze was intensely fervent, for up until now, he hadn't realized that his previous sword strike, powerful enough to cleave the golden giant sword, relied on the white chess piece given by Su Yuan.
