  1. 时间箭头 指向铩羽而归地方

    The arrow of time points to the place where you return, feathers lost.

  2. 你会前进 终究还是习惯投降

    You will move forward, but in the end, you must learn to surrender.

  3. 当然 第六最大致命伤

    Naturally, the sixth step becomes your greatest fatal flaw.

  4. 按兵不动 出于习惯凡事沉默酝酿

    I hold my ground, out of habit, brewing silence in everything.

  5. 纯粹出于礼貌

    The opening move comes purely from my polite demeanor.

  6. 屏风 才能

    The horse behind the screen must possess subtlety to overcome strength.

  7. 第二十六 只是试探衡量

    The twenty-sixth move, moving five into four, is merely a probe.

  8. 三十平七出手

    The thirty-third move, a strike with two to seven, makes its entrance.

  9. 恐怕暗箭难防

    I'm afraid you won't see the hidden arrows coming.

  10. 流血只有自尊受伤

    This battle, bloodless, leaves only pride to be wounded.

  11. 铁则现实

    The iron rule of the victor and the vanquished is just like reality,

  12. 提著鸟笼老头站在一旁肩膀

    An old man with a birdcage stands by, tapping my shoulder,

  13. 他想应该一样

    I guess he thinks like I do,

  14. 手指放松

    Look at me, my fingers are relaxed,

  15. 目光 敌人

    My gaze is like a dragon, when the enemy is just air,

  16. 无穷 攻势

    My tactics are endless, my offense blows like the wind,

  17. 单车 辗过懊丧脸孔

    Riding my bike into the palace, rolling over your despondent face,

  18. 手指放松

    Forget me, my fingers are relaxed,

  19. 目光 敌人

    My gaze is like a dragon, when the enemy is just air,

  20. 左右 气势如虹

    I strike from both sides, my momentum as fierce as a rainbow.

  21. 兵临城下都没

    Use all the artillery, troops at the gates, there's no escape in sight.

  22. 潮汐推敲什么 制动

    I ponder what it means to still the waves against the tide.

  23. 山林能不能障眼法内容

    In the mist of the mountains, can it serve as a veil to deceive the eyes?

  24. 轨迹相同

    The moon shifts, the stars move, their path mirrors the march of warriors.

  25. 火山 是不是用兵

    Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain, is that the weight of strategy?

  26. 最后 必然运筹帷幄最后放弃抵抗

    In the end, it will surely be my scheming while you surrender in defeat.

  27. 仰望夕阳低头黯然

    I gaze at the sunset while you bow your head, leaving in silence.

  28. 听我兵家 不用放在心上

    Listen to me, victory and defeat are just the nature of warfare; don’t take them to heart.

  29. 因为我只适合

    It's because I'm only suited for the unmatched.

  30. 手指放松

    Look at me, my fingers relax.

  31. 目光 敌人

    My gaze is like a dragon, when the enemy is but a void.

  32. 无穷 攻势

    My tactics are endless, my offense swift as the wind.

  33. 单车 辗过懊丧脸孔

    I ride into the palace on a bicycle, rolling over your sorrowful face.

  34. 手指放松

    Mind me, my fingers stay relaxed.

  35. 目光 敌人

    My gaze is like a dragon, when the enemy is but a void.

  36. 左右 气势如虹

    I draw my bow in both directions, my momentum like a rainbow.

  37. 兵临城下都没

    Utilizing every artillery, with troops at the gates, there's no escaping.

    See me, my fingers stay relaxed (The sunlight peeks through the leaves, revealing a smile).
