As Yun Ruoxi threw a punch at Mo Yuan, the frame for the eleventh episode froze right there, cutting to the ending credits.
Countless viewers immediately sent their most “heartfelt” regards to Lao Feng of the Production Team for such a perfectly timed cliffhanger.
Then, one by one, they reluctantly closed their browsers and began scrolling through videos related to 《Starfall》 while waiting for the next week to arrive.
Soon, in the other dimension, one week passed quietly.
September 27, 2025.
The final episode of the First Season of 《Starfall》 — Episode Twelve — was officially launched on all major mainstream websites worldwide.
The massive surge in traffic nearly crashed the servers of every site, forcing staff to urgently add more capacity. One viewing record after another was broken once again by 《Starfall》.
But in the world of 《Starfall》, all these trivial matters only amounted to — one second!
The beginning of Episode Twelve seamlessly cut into the view from the upper-right corner of Yun Ruoxi’s vision.
“Episode Twelve, the finale! I’m freaking devouring this!”
“Tribute to the legendary boxing master Yun Ruoxi; it took a whole week to land that one punch!”
“Hit me, Mommy!”
“My Ruoxi, my wife!”
The crazed barrage of comments swept across the screen.
The start of Episode Twelve picked up immediately from the end of the eleventh episode. Her delicate fist, wrapped in telekinesis so thick it changed the color of the air, zoomed in at extreme speed.
The camera switched to a close-up of Mo Yuan’s face.
His purple eyes seemed to be stimulated, suddenly contracting.
*Bang!*
Mo Yuan was directly hammered, exploding into a cloud of smoke that scattered. He only managed to reform his body a hundred meters behind Yun Ruoxi.
But in the next second —
“It seems this is how you toyed with Brother A Kai?”
Yun Ruoxi’s figure appeared in front of him again. The girl laughed softly, raising her hand to throw another punch.
*Bang!*
Mo Yuan relied on Duxie’s teleportation power to warp again, dodging Yun Ruoxi’s attack.
The two engaged in a high-speed chase, moving with incredible velocity. As Yun Ruoxi moved rapidly, the white light emanating from her body actually left behind a dense and complex trail in the air.
And this was the battle between the strongest trainees in the battle camp!
Zi Jiu and the others could not even see their shadows, let alone intervene.
However, even Yun Ruoxi and Mo Yuan could not sustain this level of high-speed combat for very long.
Of course, with the amount of star energy stored in Yun Ruoxi’s body, she could completely drag it out until Mo Yuan was exhausted.
She would still have plenty of strength left to take him down directly.
After all, her Stellar Energy Index was already significantly higher than his, and the star energy consumed by using telekinesis for high-speed movement was less than what Mo Yuan spent on teleportation.
Not to mention, this guy Mo Yuan was determined not to let Zi Jiu and the others go.
During the high-speed pursuit, he not only refused to cancel the supernatural power known as [Stellar Falling Chess], but he also split his focus, desperately driving the expansion of the chess game.
This made his star energy consumption even more exaggerated.
But how could a cunning old fox like Mo Yuan not realize this?
While Yun Ruoxi was preoccupied with chasing him, he actually chose to send those four Combatants and five tree god guards to attack the spaceship!
He was clearly forcing Yun Ruoxi to make a choice —
The spaceship and Lin Zhen, or Zi Jiu inside the chess game!
High in the sky, the two came to a halt.
Yun Ruoxi looked down at the ground.
The chess game had officially begun, and the illusory chess pieces moved toward Zi Jiu and the others under Mo Yuan’s control.
At the same time, the nine supernatural enemies under Mo Yuan’s command — the four Combatants and the five tree god guards — all lunged toward the spaceship.
“Make your choice,” Mo Yuan said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was panting heavily, yet he struggled to remain calm. “Is it the spaceship, or your sister and your friends?”
He knew his strength was inferior to Xinglan’s, but by relying on the thousands of supernatural powers he had copied, he could ensure that Xinglan wouldn’t be able to defeat him in a short amount of time.
He would use time and space to weave a sturdy spiderweb.
He would pin down the beautiful wings of this blue butterfly.
***
Time was on his side.
“Is this a Harvey or Rachel situation? What Joker-like behavior. This is making me cringe.”
“Old Mo is feeling more and more delusional.”
Yun Ruoxi’s gaze swept rapidly back and forth between the tree god guards and Zi Jiu’s group.
Mo Yuan was as slippery as an eel, with various supernatural powers at his fingertips. Unless someone possessed absolutely overwhelming strength, no one could defeat him quickly.
Therefore, she couldn’t rely on defeating him to resolve the chess game.
And if she went after the tree god guards and the Combatants, Zi Jiu and the others, who were trapped in that lethal chess game, would undoubtedly face a life-or-death crisis under Mo Yuan’s control.
But ignoring the tree god guards and the Combatants was also not an option —
They would destroy the spaceship and threaten Lin Zhen.
Mo Yuan had successfully presented Yun Ruoxi with a difficult problem, one for which she couldn’t find a solution for a moment.
After all, no matter how strong a First-tier star energy user was, they were still a First-tier star energy user. The things they could accomplish were ultimately limited.
‘Fortunately, I have a cheat.’
Yun Ruoxi closed her eyes and opened the system interface, exchanging some previously prepared options.
Immediately after, she snapped her eyes open, her aura surging upward.
If anyone could observe Yun Ruoxi’s Stellar Energy Index at this moment, they would find that the number was soaring at a speed that ordinary people could not comprehend.
175, 176, 177…
It increased by nearly one point every second.
The Star Energy Bloodline constantly seeped out star energy, merging into her blood and making her even more powerful.
Popularity Value could bring people back from the dead, grant her Bloodlines, and give her combat skills. Naturally, it could also be used more directly — to increase her Stellar Energy Index.
However, the cost-effectiveness of directly increasing her Stellar Energy Index was much lower than exchanging for skills and letting her star energy increase automatically as her body changed through those skills.
While she was still at the first tier, it required 10,000 Popularity Points to exchange for a single point.
Later, the higher the Stellar Energy Index became, the larger the exchange ratio would be. It was even possible for a single point to cost one million Popularity Points.
Furthermore, directly exchanging for a Stellar Energy Index could also lead to injury or even death if her Physical Fitness was not up to standard.
This was a warning the system had given her during the exchange.
Therefore, Yun Ruoxi had never directly exchanged for the Stellar Energy Index before. After all, her Physical Fitness had always been her weak point.
But now that she had unlocked the limit attributes of her body, directly exchanging for the Stellar Energy Index had become a viable option for her to grow stronger quickly.
The efficiency was low, but the results were fast.
It was suitable for the current situation, and also suitable for… the ultimate curtain call that would follow.
This was one of the trump cards she had prepared for the ultimate curtain call.
She hadn’t expected Mo Yuan to have prepared a trump card for her as well.
He had forced her to lift the corner of her own trump card now, revealing the “Ace” hidden underneath.
194, 195 — that’s enough!
Having spent 200,000 Popularity Points to violently increase her Stellar Energy Index by twenty points, Yun Ruoxi came to a sudden halt.
She slowly clenched her fist, feeling as though her entire body was overflowing with power.
She gave Mo Yuan a half-smile.
Her gaze carried a chilling intent that sent shivers down the spine.
