Setting Name - Book Settings - Original Source - Prototype Setting.

① Three Descents of Cloud Terrace, Sword Whistling Cold River, Swallow Returns to the Rising Sun — Used by Mei Qinghe, Huashan Sword Technique
Source: Online game "Moonlight Blade OL" — skills and costume names of the "Taibai" class.

② Plum Blossom Thief — Supporting character in this book
Source: Novel "Peerless Dual Heroes" by San Tian Liang Jue — supporting character
PS: Jue-ge is one of my favorite authors on Qidian. In terms of talent, I feel Huanggua is a "legend of martial arts" among web novelists.
Unfortunately, "Three Days, Two Updates"... Sword God laughed for half a year... Huanggua especially loves "Peerless Dual Heroes," so I borrowed the name of this supporting character as a tribute.
Of course, the character's core, personality, and experiences are all original creations, not plagiarized, so no need to worry.

③ What of Mount Tai — Used by Zuo Lishan, Taishan Sword Technique
Source: Jin Yong's novel "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" — Taishan Sword Technique
"This move can be considered the most profound skill among the Taishan sect's sword techniques. Its essence lies not in the right-hand sword moves but in calculations with the left hand. The left hand constantly makes calculations, figuring out the enemy's position, martial arts sect, body length, weapon size, the height of sunlight, etc., with exceedingly complex computations. Once calculated accurately, the sword is thrust, and it never misses."

④ Little Four — Supporting character in this book
Source: Comic "The Outcast" — Temporary Worker arc, Chen Duo
PS: Sigh, using Chen Duo as this prototype actually stems from a desire to give her a happy ending within my own writing.
A somewhat willful, slightly greedy, and a bit spoiled little girl—if Chen Duo could be reborn, I hope she could be like this.

⑤ Gu Worm Centipede — Gu worm raised by the Ge Pu clan
Source: Game "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" — Guardian Ape
PS: Everyone should be able to spot the prototype easily. That damned second phase back then scared Huanggua's controller right out of his hands...

That's all for now. Additional settings will be updated here in a timely manner. If anyone finds a particular setting interesting, feel free to check out the original prototype~
