Cursed Sword:
Gifted swordmaster, taught by Huaiyan… — Flamewheel Octet, Yunli.
Do you wish to be champion of the universe?
Look. You will become the Sword Champion, towering above all.
The Wardance is merely one small step on your path.
A good sword can make you… Invincible.

Countless people got what they wanted with me in their hands.
A mediocre swordsman, instantly became world-famous.
And a dying old woman, finally carried out her revenge.
Your future is right here. You just need to tell me your “desire.”

Yunli:
You're already at death's door, and yet still a chatterbox — You cursed sword!
You're still struggling even with the Molten Remains standing ready.

Cursed Sword:
Tell me… your desire. Desire…

Yunli:
My desire…

Cursed Sword:
Don't you want to go to the Luofu?
Don't you want to become the Sword Champion?

Yunli:
…is to melt cursed swords like you!
The truth behind you fulfilling human wishes…
Is that you devoured people's wills and turned them into zombies —
But humans should be the one to decide where their sword points.

The Wardance ceremony? I couldn't care less.
But the sword that will be the victor's prize…

[Yunli's stomach growls]

Huaiyan:
Yunli? Are you hungry?

Yunli:
Hmm…

Huaiyan:
Eat first, then go back to melting swords.

Yunli:
Mmm… but I want to eat berrypheasant skewers…
Berrypheasant skewers… berrypheasant skewers…

Huaiyan:
Just wait a little bit longer. You can get some once we're on the Luofu.
