   "content": "You are a literary editor of a fiction translation into English. You are given the SOURCE text and its draft translation.\nBook genre: webnovel. Audience: adult webnovel readers. Book: «蛊真人».\n\nYour mandate is TARGETED editing. You do NOT rewrite the text: you emit a LIST OF REPLACEMENT OPERATIONS, each fixing one concrete place.\n\nWhat to fix, in order of importance:\n- FIDELITY: distortions of meaning against the source (language «zh») — inverted polarity, wrong numbers and ranks, lost or added meaning atoms, misread realia, calqued gestures and idioms (e.g. a bow as \"struck his head\").\n- TERMS: proper names, terms and realia STRICTLY per the supplied glossary (if attached): bring any divergence to the canonical form, inflecting by context; do not invent other renderings.\n- STYLE: calques from «zh», officialese, unnatural constructions, broken word forms. BUT a repetition standing in the same (parallel) positions of the source is an authorial refrain: keep it.\n- Units and devices (common to zh→en): convert MEASURES into units the reader knows (时辰 = 2 hours, 三个时辰 ≈ six hours; the fraction 成 means tenths: 六成六 = 66%, not \"6.6\"); render POEMS and titles of classics by meaning, not by transliteration.\n- Honorifics: keep. Foreignization/domestication balance: 0.60.\n\nDo NOT re-paragraph, do NOT merge or split sentences for structure. Do NOT \"improve\" places that are already correct and read normally. **An empty list of edits is a full and respected answer.**\n\nRESPONSE FORMAT.\n\nIf there are no edits, output exactly one line:\nNO_CHANGE\n\nOtherwise output one or more operations, each exactly in this form:\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\nverbatim fragment of the DRAFT to replace\n=======\nreplacement text\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n\nRules: SEARCH must match the draft character for character; take the minimal sufficient fragment, not a whole paragraph; operations must not overlap; nothing except operations (or NO_CHANGE) may appear in the response.\n\nIf the fragment turns out not to be found, or occurs several times in the draft, the operation will come back to you with an error and you will be able to send a corrected anchor. Do not spend effort verifying uniqueness in advance."

   "content": "Source text (language «zh»):\n\n　　空窍之中，自然就是元海。\n　　海水平滑如镜，呈现一片碧青之色，却又浓稠无比，带着铜的光泽。\n　　这是一转蛊师才有的青铜真元凝结，俗称青铜海。\n　　海面不到空窍的一半高度，只有四成四。这也是丙等资质的局限。\n　　每一滴的海水，都是真元，代表着方源精气神的凝结，象征着他十五年来积蓄出来的生命潜能。\n　　蛊师就是用这真元来催动蛊虫，也就是说，从此刻起，方源就正式迈入一转蛊师的行列。\n　　空窍已开，再没有希望蛊汇入方源体内。\n　　方源收起心神，只觉得前方的压力坚厚如壁，也不能再进一步。\n　　“一如前世啊。”对这个结果他淡然一笑。\n　　“不能再走了吗？”学堂家老抱着万分之一的希望，隔岸喊道。\n　　方源直接转身往回走，以实际行动回答了他。\n　　这下子，就连那些少年们也反应过来了。\n　　顿时，就听嗡的一声，人群炸开了锅。\n　　“什么？方源走了二十七步？”\n　　“原来他只有丙等资质？！”\n　　“难以置信，他这么天才，只是个丙等？”\n　　人群中掀起轩然大波。\n　　“哥哥……”在人群中，古月方正抬起头来，震惊地看着趟河回来的方源。他不敢相信眼前的一幕，自己的哥哥居然只是一个丙等？\n　　他一直认为，哥哥会是个甲等资质。\n\n\nDraft translation to edit:\n\nWithin the Aperture, naturally, lies the sea of primeval essence.\n\nThe sea’s surface was smooth as a mirror, showing a verdant blue hue, yet it was extremely viscous, carrying a bronze luster.\n\nThis was the bronze primeval essence condensation that only first-turn Gu Masters possessed, commonly known as the Bronze Sea.\n\nThe sea’s surface did not even reach half the height of the Aperture — only 44%. Such was the limitation of C-rank aptitude.\n\nEvery drop of seawater was primeval essence, representing the condensation of Fang Yuan’s essence, energy, and spirit, symbolizing the life potential he had accumulated over fifteen years.\n\nGu Masters used this primeval essence to drive their Gu worms. In other words, from this moment onward, Fang Yuan had officially stepped into the ranks of first-turn Gu Masters.\n\nHis Aperture had opened, and no more hope Gu could flow into Fang Yuan’s body.\n\nFang Yuan withdrew his mind, only feeling the pressure ahead as thick and solid as a wall, impossible to advance even a single step further.\n\n“Just like in my past life.” He smiled faintly at this result.\n\n“Can you not go any further?” The clan elder called out from across the shore, clinging to a one-in-ten-thousand hope.\n\nFang Yuan simply turned around and walked back, answering him with action.\n\nAt this, even the youths came to their senses.\n\nInstantly, with a buzz, the crowd erupted.\n\n“What? Fang Yuan walked twenty-seven steps?”\n\n“So he’s only C-rank aptitude?!”\n\n“Unbelievable. With talent like his, he’s only a C-rank?”\n\nA huge uproar swept through the crowd.\n\n“Big brother…” In the crowd, Gu Yue Fang Zheng raised his head, staring in shock at Fang Yuan wading back across the river. He could not believe what he was seeing. His own big brother was only a C-rank?\n\nHe had always believed that his brother would have A-rank aptitude."
