| 244s | Hi everyone, welcome to this year's NARAKA Fest |
| 247s | I'm Ray Kuan, producer of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT |
| 251s | Today, we'll share with you our future development plans |
| 255s | And they are truly “Unchained" |
| 257s | First, we'd like to introduce our martial arts cultural inheritance project: "Martial Infinity" |
| 264s | In 2021, NARAKA was honored to collaborate with the Bruce Lee Foundation |
| 270s | and pass on Bruce Lee's martial spirit |
| 274s | For this year's project, we travel around the country and promote martial arts culture |
| 279s | with the help of many, carrying on Bruce Lee's legacy |
| 283s | 24 Entertainment launched the "Martial Infinity" project in collaboration with Global Times |
| 291s | All masters shall gather in NARAKA |
| 294s | We visited artists, schools, and associations of martial arts |
| 299s | and received massive support and attention from all over the country |
| 304s | We invited great martial artists to assist us in motion capture, creative design, and production |
| 310s | And sent developers, content creators, and professional players to the Shaolin Temple |
| 315s | to experience the most fundamental martial arts culture |
| 319s | waking up at 5 in the morning every day to practice |
| 325s | These experiences will have a profound impact on the game's future development |
| 330s | as well as the dissemination of martial arts culture |
| 334s | In terms of hero cosmetics, we took inspiration from Bruce Lee collab outfits |
| 339s | and produced five martial arts outfits |
| 342s | They respectively mix elements of Tai Chi, Shaolin, Wing Chun, Xingyiquan, and Bajiuan |
| 347s | each bringing a flow to combat akin to their spirit |
| 351s | Of course, we've also prepared weapons with classic moves for these martial arts schools |
| 358s | Tai Chi, a blend of the ancient Chinese philosophies and fist fighting |
| 364s | This Tai Chi themed Kung Fu Changshan uses black and white to symbolize the duality of Yin and Yang |
| 370s | It features embroideries from the cradle of Tai Chi, the Wudang Mountains, along with cloud elements |
| 380s | While representative of Tai Chi, it also fits Wuchen like a glove |
| 386s | Shaolin is a profound martial art that emphasizes the oneness of Zen |
| 391s | Shaolin disciples are upholders and enforcers of justice, Tianhai being a great example |
| 397s | When designing the Shaolin themed outfit |
| 399s | We decided to go for the iconic bright orange color of Shaolin monk robes |
| 405s | and added patterns of mountains, pines, and rocks representing the monk's toughness |
| 411s | resilience, and Shaolin's birthplace |
| 414s | Wing Chun, a martial arts school that recently garnered worldwide attention |
| 419s | originated in Southeast China |
| 423s | Wing Chun is famed for rapid and pinpoint movements |
| 427s | Custom-made for Feria Shen |
| 429s | The outfit takes the colors of a landform at China's southeastern coast |
| 436s | The embroideries feature cloud-shaped hills and soaring birds |
| 440s | and also represent Wing Chun moves which are never-ending and free-formed |
| 444s | Xingyiquan is a style of martial arts |
| 447s | that applies the characteristic movements of |
| 450s | twelve animals from the animal kingdom and legends alike |
| 456s | It seeks not to resemble in form but in nature without restraint |
| 461s | We also designed lots of linear elements for Tessa to represent the changing moves of Xingyiquan |
| 466s | and added animal imagery such as crane feathers and fox tails |
| 470s | to symbolize the changing nature of the Xingyiquan style |
| 474s | It is written in a classical literary work that |
| 477s | Bajiquan is "a force that reaches far and wide" |
| 481s | It focuses on rapid, forceful and deadly strikes |
| 485s | "Punches to crumple the heavens and stomps to shatter the earth" |
| 490s | Zai, the best assassin in the Annica, has trained herself into a merciless weapon |
| 495s | like how their fists of are like spears and their bodies shields |
| 499s | We blended the patterns of perilous mountain ranges into this outfit |
| 504s | a symbol of the ferocity of Bajiquan and the ruthlessness of Zai |
| 509s | Apart from special cosmetics, we've also prepared new content too |
| 514s | There will be five new ink wash Martial-themed Souljades |
| 518s | that blend the elements of the five school's classic weapons |
| 522s | with their most iconic movements for an awe-inspiring experience |
| 527s | Now, let's watch some gameplay footage |
| 533s | The grandmasters of Bajiquan are famous for their spear skills |
| 537s | The new Spear Souljade changes the spear's horizontal charge |
| 541s | From ricochet strike to a flurry of attacks |
| 544s | Bazhandao is a blade fighting style unique to Wing Chun |
| 548s | The new Dual Blades Souljade enables the Severance skill to be followed by over ten Golden Focused slashes |
| 556s | When talking about Shaolin Kung Fu, the Shaolin staff comes to mind |
| 560s | The Staff Souljade is mighty with a sense of True Zen |
| 564s | Tai Chi is the union of softness and hardness, the balance of Yin and Yang |
| 569s | The Fan Souljade’s movements flow naturally in perfect harmony with Yin and Yang |
| 575s | A recreation of Xingyiquan master Sun LuTang's skill, arm guard hooks |
| 580s | The Dual Halberds Souljade is a force that is as swift and terrible as a whirlwind |
| 586s | Martial: Shaolin Staff, Martial: Tai Chi and Martial: Xingyi Hooks are currently in production |
| 593s | and will be revealed in our January update |
| 597s | There will also be social gestures for the five martial arts schools |
| 600s | all inspired by real martial artists |
| 604s | You'll be able to receive guidance from real grandmasters in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT |
| 609s | NARAKA's new cultural inheritance project "Martial Infinity" launches tomorrow! |
| 616s | Log in tomorrow for more interesting content in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT |
| 620s | First, you'll have to pass a few tests to select which school best fits you and to start your school quests |
| 627s | By completing your quests, you can unlock exclusive rewards during the NARAKA FEST |
| 632s | Soon an arena will be built in Fairyland Penglai for the schools to spar with each other |
| 638s | You'll get the chance to duel with opponents as others cheer you on |
| 642s | From Mount Wutai to Shaolin Temple, from Foshan to Cangzhou |
| 647s | we are grateful for all the help we've received in the last several months from people far and wide |
| 653s | Martial arts associations, universities, schools and martial artists |
| 658s | Our martial arts masters are all glad that Chinese martial arts |
| 662s | have reached more people through NARAKA: BLADEPOINT |
| 666s | We at 24 Entertainment believe that entertainment and culture go hand in hand |
| 671s | and often look to our own roots when designing new content |
| 683s | We strive to make NARAKA bigger, and the Martial Infinity Project is only a small part of what’s to come |
| 753s | Next, I'm going to introduce a new hero and an old friend of ours |
| 758s | She was featured in the first official poster of NARAKA |
| 760s | and mentioned many a time throughout Yueshan's backstory |
| 764s | You guessed it. She's Shayol, governor of the Golden Keepers of Icuria |
| 769s | The Golden Keepers is akin to Icuria's policing department and Shayol is its top agent |
| 777s | She's dedicated to solving crimes |
| 779s | and enforcing the law and has brought to justice countless outlaws |
| 784s | In a sense, she's the keeper of order in Icuria |
| 787s | As the Governor of the Golden Keepers, Shayol has her own special weapon |
| 792s | a Vortex Shield that can attack and defend in changing forms |
| 797s | It is a divine artifact of an ancient Sovereign |
| 800s | made of the tortoise Vortex's shell from its last tribulation. |
| 805s | Because no one was able to wield it, it had been kept sealed away all this time in Icuria |
| 810s | that is, until Shayol brought it to its full glory |
| 814s | As for Shayol's relationship with the Imperial Chamber of Icuria, |
| 817s | we will reveal more in future updates |
| 820s | Now, let's take a look at the legendary Vortex Shield and what it looks like in action |
| 825s | Shayol's Shield Bash has her smash into nearby enemies during [Square Shield] and knock them airborne |
| 830s | Her Shield Bash: Rush has her assume Shield Stance during [Square Shield] |
| 835s | Then just press again to charge |
| 839s | Her ultimate, Justiciar's Guard, fully unleashes the Force of the Black Tortoise |
| 844s | gaining multiple auto blocks while during [Round Shield] |
| 848s | The Round Shield is a mechanic with massive impact, |
| 851s | as long as she has an auto block left, Shayol will use [Shield Block] to negate all damage |
| 857s | whenever she takes stagger effects |
| 860s | If she is hit again in this state |
| 862s | another block action will be triggered without consuming auto blocks |
| 866s | That means, even if the enemy focuses all their attacks on Shayol while Justiciar's Guard is active |
| 872s | she may still come out unscathed |
| 875s | Of course, Shayol can also attack with Justiciar's Guard. |
| 878s | Simply press again to send the [Round Shield] flying toward the enemy |
| 883s | If you are using Justiciar's Guard, press again when Shield Block is triggered |
| 888s | and the shield will cause damage to those hit |
| 891s | but also bind them with a powerful [Shield Lock] |
| 894s | This can be followed up with other moves—bringing criminals to swift justice |
| 899s | Justiciar's Guard: Pursuit focuses on Shayol's pursuit abilities. |
| 904s | While active, she marks the first enemy to trigger her block |
| 907s | And for as long as this mark lasts, all you have to do is press the enhanced skill again, |
| 911s | and Shayol will teleport behind the enemy and attack them |
| 915s | The mark and teleport both have great reach and ignore walls as well |
| 920s | That's to say, there's no escaping when she sets her eyes on you |
| 925s | Our new hero, Shayol, coming soon in early 2024 |
| 934s | You might also have noticed the cool weapon she's brandishing |
| 937s | That's right, we're adding a new weapon, Heng Sword. |
| 941s | It combines the grace of swords and might of blades, a weapon of culture and power |
| 946s | The Heng Sword, coming soon on January 4th. |
| 949s | Let's take a look at some gameplay footage and get a feel for it in action |
| 997s | Hello everyone, I'm WindScream. You're right, time for another reward-filled event |

| 1060s | The one and only - Gingerbread |
| 1063s | He has realized his mistakes this time, and has offered his gingerbready person to atone |
| 1068s | Just beat him black and brown, to get extra Martial Treasures for a better shot at the banner |
| 1074s | As Christmas Eve and New Year's are around the corner |
| 1078s | the in-game cannons will therefore be turned into snow cannons that launch great snowballs |
