A clean sweep of the Seasonal Trial completes the Chronicles of the Tempest entry "Emerging Talent" (Apprenticed to the Flying Heaven Gate with Yu Xiaomei Affinity≧20, or apprenticed to the Mystic Skill Gate and losing to Shangguan Ying, completes it at two wins. Apprenticed to the Mystic Skill Gate and beating Shangguan Ying, even a clean sweep will not complete it)

Apprenticing to the Iron Fist Gate gives dialogue differences against the Mad Dog

Shangguan Ying Affinity≧20 and Shangguan Ying being kidnapped by Xiahou Lan both give dialogue differences

Losing to Rui Sheng is a necessary prerequisite for obtaining "Snow Mountain Flying Goose Claw"

When you fight Rui Sheng to a draw, Ju Dongyin steps in to call a halt, and the two of you are called the "Twin Heroes of Life"

The reward section has a great deal of story variation depending on various conditions

Apprenticed to the Flying Heaven Gate with Yu Xiaomei Affinity≧20, Xiaomei puts in a word for you with the Fire Dragon Immortal Monarch, raising the reward one tier (one win gives Fiery Zen, two wins give Immortal Crane's Elusive Fist, a clean sweep gives Heartburn Seal). The Immortal Crane's Elusive Fist from two wins and the Heartburn Seal from a clean sweep count as a clean sweep, and also complete the Chronicles of the Tempest entry "Emerging Talent"

When claiming the Secret Manual "Immortal Crane's Elusive Fist" as a reward, if you hold the Secret Manual "Hand-Copied Immortal Crane's Elusive Fist", you get an extra line of inner thought

Apprenticed to the Mystic Skill Gate with your Beloved being one of Yu Xiaomei, Yu Zhu, or Wei Ju, you get an extra line of inner thought after choosing how to address Xiaomei

Apprenticed to the Iron Fist Gate with Yu Zhu Affinity≧25 (first win, second win rewards) or ≧30 (mid-game victory) gives dialogue differences
