The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Even with the aid of the Void Terminal, the Great Tree King was so busy that he could only take a break late at night to clean up the water accumulated in the World Tree.

That's right, the Great Tree King's water pipes were connected to the World Tree. On one hand, it drained the primordial water of the womb beneath the World Tree, and on the other hand, it made use of waste, using the womb water to wash away all the marks that the God of Righteousness shouldn't have.

In this way, the accumulated water in the World Tree will be drained, and the God of the Righteous Machine will be completely transformed into a creation of Sumeru, without any further risk.

It has to be said, this was a very good solution. And now, all that's left of such a large lake is Ember's work.

"Make way, don't block the way."

"boom!"

Yu Jin stepped on the ground, and it began to tremble. Once it settled, a large area of ​​land in front of him softened.

With a wave of his hand, all sorts of grass seeds fell into the soil, quietly waiting for their chance to sprout.

The young master managed to keep his feet upright despite the tremor. He looked up and saw that Ember had already run off to another spot after scattering the grass seeds.

The young master rolled his eyes, then followed, rubbing his hands together and saying obsequiously, "Let me help."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin silently withdrew the grass seeds from his hand. He crossed his arms and slowly asked:

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

"What are you saying? Can't I help you out? I was once recognized as an outstanding youth in Zhidong, after all."

The young master's smile remained unchanged; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was some kind-hearted Sun Knight.

“Alright.” Seeing that the young master was determined to help, Yu Jin nodded in agreement.

The scene of the young master digging the river in Liyue is still vivid in my mind. It would be a waste not to use such good labor.

As he spoke, he pulled a sack of seeds from his chest right in front of the young master. These were all seeds that Appepp had condensed.

Although she claimed that she had carefully grown it according to the desert climate, Ember always felt that it was actually Apep's dandruff.

"I'll stomp the ground in front, and you just follow behind me to sow the seeds." After placing the sack on the ground, Yu Jin strode forward.

Lift your foot, then lower it.

"boom!"

The ground shook again, and a tremendous force reverberated through the soil, pulverizing everything that hindered the growth of life.

Numerous tiny cracks, invisible to the naked eye, stretched all the way to the lake's surface. Water from the lake gradually seeped in due to the earth's tremors.

"So...so strong!"

The young master standing behind him keenly sensed the changes in the land, and he increasingly felt that Ember's control over power was more precise than he had imagined.

Unbeknownst to him, the young master's breathing became a little heavier; the scene before him was more captivating than any treasure.

"What are you standing there for? Sprinkle."

"oh oh!"

Upon hearing this, the young master immediately grabbed a sack and ran over. He picked up a handful of seeds and scattered them, and soon a patch of land was evenly covered with all sorts of seeds.

Ember nodded in satisfaction, then began to step forward again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Dust continued to swirl, but the land beside the lake also became softer and more moist, and at the same time, it became full of endless possibilities.

Then, at some point, the young master suddenly stopped moving.

“There are no more seeds.” He waved the empty sack in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Yu Jin stopped in his tracks. He sized up the young master, whose face was covered in ash but whose spirits were high.

"Do you have the energy to practice?"

"I've been waiting for this for so long!!!"

In the desert at night, the young master's eyes shone like light bulbs.

Chapter 758 Guidance

2024-07-07

Beside the large lake late at night, two figures were stretching out their bodies.

"Okay, is it necessary to dawdle like this?"

Well, actually, it was mostly the young master who was busy, while Yu Jin was just sitting on the ground, bored and picking his toes.

"Such a good fighting opportunity cannot end hastily. We must embrace it with the best possible attitude!"

The young master, with a solemn expression, continued to perform those movements he had learned from who-knows-where to loosen his muscles. To the uninitiated, it looked as if he were welcoming something sacred.

"By the way, why do you like fighting so much?" Yu Jin asked, seeing how interested the young master was in this battle.

"Because fighting is my destiny! And I love the thrill and excitement of fighting powerful enemies!"

The young master clenched his fist, responding with undisguised excitement. His master had said he would become the center of a storm, but this did not instill fear of the future; instead, it made him even more eager for what lay ahead.

"I'm so bored."

Ember retorted that he used to fight endlessly because that was all he could do. But for the young master, fighting was purely for fun.

"Say what you will, I'm ready!"

Young Master didn't react much to Ember's complaints. He jumped up and down on the spot, then beckoned to Ember with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, then let me see if you've made any progress during this time."

Yu Jin straightened up with a somersault. Then, seeing the young master rubbing his hands together, he casually pointed at him and said:

"Your strongest form is called something like 'Demon King Armor,' right? Use it!"

"my pleasure."

Excitement flashed in the young master's eyes. He was not humiliated by what Ember had just said—because based on previous experiences, he was no match for Ember without using the Demon King's Armor.

Actually, even using the Demon King's Armor didn't make much difference.

"Drink!"

After a loud shout, sand and gravel flew everywhere. The young master was bathed in soaring elemental power, his body already covered in a layer of dark armor.

"You need to keep practicing, your speed is too slow. If I had intervened during that transformation, you would have died hundreds of times over."

Yu Jin gave his first critique, and then, to the astonishment of the young master, he began a changing-clothes show.

Heavy armor, light armor, super heavy armor...

Helmet, wrist guards, leg armor...

Every part of Ember's body was rapidly arranging and assembling at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. This was also the first time the young master had realized that, besides the unchanging lower-class knight armor, Ember actually possessed such a set of armor.

"At least you should reach my level." After saying that, Ember returned to its original form.

"I...I'll try my best!" The young master nodded blankly, seriously doubting that even his master could do that.

But so what? Tadalia loves challenging himself!

"Now I'm going to attack!" The young master bent slightly, and his aura gradually became dangerous.

"bring it on."

Yu Jin remained as calm and collected as ever.

With a loud "boom," the sand on both sides of him was pushed aside by the figures moving around, and in the blink of an eye, the young master appeared in front of him.

However, this time his weapon was no longer the two-headed face with flowing starry sky, but two short and powerful short swords.

"Shhhhh!"

The traces left by the elemental force were always a step behind the young master's movements. Each time he swung his weapon, the elemental force attached to it would barely follow his movements to draw a beautiful blade mark in the air after the light of the blade had flashed.

"What, not using your double-headed sword anymore?" Yu Jin's hands were empty as he patted the young master's wrist while chatting leisurely.

The young master's relentless attacks failed to land a single blow on him. Every time he swung his arm, Ember seemed to anticipate his movements, blocking the young master's path of attack and leaving him utterly frustrated.

The palm once again blocked the young master's wrist, but this time Yu Jin did not simply slap it away, but instead held it with his fingers.

"call!"

An immense force surged from his hands, instantly shattering the young master's stance. He was like a deflated balloon, tossed away by Ember.

"boom!"

The young master adjusted his posture in the air and landed steadily on the ground. However, when he looked up at his surroundings, his vision was blurry and he was swaying from side to side.

"Phew... I didn't expect that even using my best dual swords would still be like this." After shaking his head vigorously, the young master let out a deep breath.

"Your left and right hands are not evenly matched. You need to practice your left hand more in the future. Otherwise, if you seize an opportunity, your stance will easily be broken like it was just now."

This is Yu Jin's second assessment of the young master.

The young master nodded silently upon hearing this. Although he joined the Fatui Clan in order to gain opportunities to fight, things rarely went as planned.

He had hardly encountered any exciting or thrilling battles, let alone even equally matched enemies.

In this situation, the young master can only discover his own shortcomings through self-examination, which is undoubtedly very slow.

But there's no way around it; the young master's strength is already among the top tier of humans, and it would be extremely difficult for him to improve it further.

He took this battle against the embers with the utmost seriousness.

Thinking this, the young master lowered his center of gravity, and the two short swords crossed in front of him, looking as if they were nailed to the ground.

"Does this mean they want me to attack?"

"Be gentle."

"I'm definitely more sensible than you."

"sieve!"

Both were whistling sounds cutting through the air, but the Ember's was sharper and more restrained, not exactly the opposite of the roaring wind the young master had previously produced. In fact, they were quite different.

More importantly, while the embers were fast, they weren't fast enough for the young master to react in time.

After taking in all the steps of progress, Yu Jin also came to stand before the young master.

"call!"
