The quick answer

For the Cuju Injustice quest, challenge Ren Xiaoping at the Cuju Field southeast of South Gate Avenue. Earn Grade A by timing the prompted inputs when the moving ring aligns with the target ring, then finish his dialogue.

Check the exact Cuju objective

Approach Ren Xiaoping at the Cuju Field and look for the Injustice quest involving Zheng Ran. Its listed progression requirement is Leaves in Wind, Volume 2. If the interaction is not available, check that story progress before repeatedly starting an unrelated casual match.

The field also appears in other quest chains. For example, Gambler’s Secret sends you to Xia Ban for a dice clue. Being at the same location does not make those objectives interchangeable.

Play to the ring, not the animation’s rhythm

  1. Talk to Ren Xiaoping and accept his Cuju challenge.
  2. Watch the current button prompt and the ring moving toward its target.
  3. Press when the rings align, then shift attention to the next prompt.
  4. As the trick sequence speeds up, continue judging the visible alignment instead of keeping the same delay between presses.

Our suggested practice is to identify whether most mistakes are early or late. Correct that one tendency on the next round. Repeatedly pressing the button is harder to diagnose than making one deliberate input for each prompt.

Finish with the required result

The Injustice walkthrough calls for Grade A. A round can end and award an activity result while still falling short of that quest condition. Read the grade before leaving, then speak with Ren Xiaoping again.

When the condition is met, complete the conversation in which he agrees to stop bullying Zheng Ran. Check the quest completion rather than assuming the score screen alone ends the story.
