Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

Ling Shu thought to himself, "I'll try to analyze as many useful 'magic spells' as possible these next few days."

"By the way, it would be even better if I could properly train the values ​​of my [Basic Abilities] and roughly test how effective my 'Single-minded Aspiration' really is."

Based on this plan, Ling Shu has found the tool that best meets all the above conditions... cough, um, a sparring partner.

That is:

"After all, it was Seele who asked me to do it, so I couldn't refuse."

Liu Liang, a Lv.4 female elf nicknamed "Swift Wind".

When Ling Shu approached the other party, this powerful individual, who had already been stripped of his adventurer status by the 'guild' and was even publicly listed on the 'blacklist (wanted)', still hadn't changed out of the tavern worker's uniform from the 'Abundant Mistress' tavern.

She simply led Ling Shu and Xi'er to the backyard of the tavern...

“You are the leader of Seele’s Familia. I heard from her that your current Grace level is Lv.3.”

Ryu looked directly into Ling Shu's eyes and said in a serious tone, "If you want to learn my 'magic,' I have no objection."

"After all, the stronger you are, the better you can protect Seele."

"But... if you're looking for me as your sparring partner, you'd better watch out."

"Because I always don't know how much force I should use."

Hearing her say that...

"Please rest assured about that."

Ling Shu waved his hand, "Afterwards, I can ask Miss Barbara to treat my injuries... Generally speaking... well, as long as I'm not completely dead."

"is it?"

Liu glanced at Xi'er, who had come along, and saw the latter nod with a smile before turning her gaze back to Ling Shu.

"That's good."

She was decisive and immediately assumed a fighting stance towards Ling Shu, saying, "Let's practice close combat today. It's getting late, and we can't go to the dungeon anymore. After all, the surrounding area is an urban area, so we can't really fight freely."

"I'll ask Mia's mom for leave tomorrow, and then you can try learning my 'magic' again, okay?"

"no problem."

Ling Shu didn't actually say that he didn't lack sparring partners; he was just here to "build rapport."

After all, once you gain favor, skills and magic will follow.

Seele also knew about this.

It feels a bit like I'm 'betraying my best friend'.

Perhaps, it's not just that.

Perhaps Seele also hopes that Ryu can find a suitable 'partner'. Not to mention jumping directly to the level of 'spending a lifetime together', at least she should try to help this 'righteous' female elf gradually get out of the psychological shadow of the past.

And it was at this very moment...

"It's on."

Please advise.

In the backyard, as soon as Liu and Ling Shu finished speaking, the two sides were already engaged in battle at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, the rhythm of their battle was completely different from the light-hearted sparring they had experienced with Bell this morning.

Ryu wasn't lying. Once she started fighting, she was just like the single-minded Ais, not knowing what 'holding back' or 'giving up' meant.

In the past, to prevent her body from becoming sluggish, she would occasionally invite other store employees who were also Lv.4 to spar with her.

As a result, Chloe and Lunova were both accidentally injured by her, which indirectly affected their work that day. Over time, they stopped sparring with her altogether.

As for Anya... this crazy girl from the cat-human race, she used to be involved in the 'in-fighting' within the Freya Familia.

Unlike Chloe and Lunova, Anya refused to admit defeat, resulting in her being beaten up every time, yet she still continued to act recklessly... Eventually, she couldn't even do her job at the store that day, and then she was given a good beating by Mia's mother.

After that, it was Ryu's turn to be afraid to spar with Anya.

But today...

"Ok?"

Ling Shu knew that Liu's best fighting style was more like that of a 'magic swordsman'.

Because of her mastery of the 'parallel chanting' technique, even Riveria, who is known as the 'strongest mage in the city,' is far superior.

Therefore, Ryu is neither chanting incantations nor wearing any weapons. In fact, unarmed combat is not her most common fighting method.

Even so, her strength as the 'current Lv.4 ceiling' is not just talk.

At least, even the real "Black Fist," 'Runova Fast', who is most skilled in close combat, doesn't want to fight her seriously.

However, it is precisely this versatile and powerful individual...

Are you really only level 3?

After a series of exchanges and a rapid-fire attack, when Ling Shu and Liu first separated, the latter looked at the black-haired youth with ten mithril rings on his hand not far away and couldn't help but ask, "This kind of strength is enough to rival a seasoned Lv.4."

Regarding this...

"That's the advantage of my 'special skill'."

Before arriving, Ling Shu had already had Paimon confirm the details of the surrounding environment, so he could now talk to Liu with peace of mind. "Currently, I have probably mastered more than a hundred 'skills'."

"It is thanks to the bonuses they provide that I, who have only recently reached Lv.3, have been able to fight against you to this extent, Miss Ryu."

Upon hearing this answer...

"Yes, that is indeed a terrifying ability."

Ryu's eyes narrowed slightly. "Very well, with you as the leader of Frigga's Familia, you will undoubtedly be able to better protect Seele."

"Then I'll be a little more 'serious' from now on."

"Otherwise, it won't have any 'training' effect at all."

As she said these words, Ryu already showed an eager expression.

It seems she has found the perfect opponent for her to practice against in simulated battles.

Chapter 259 Exploiting the Useless Elf

Recently, because Ling Shu (his true form) has been frequently out and about, he has unknowingly acquired a whole bunch of miscellaneous skills and magic.

Among these gains, compared to his previous sporadic achievements, he has recently begun to consciously "build goodwill" and has also obtained many powerful and practical special abilities.

For example, it allows Lefia to possess an overpowered skill at Lv.3 that rivals the firepower of a Lv.5 level – 'Fairy Chase'.

For example, right now...

'Fairy Star Song', 'Mental Reload', 'Swift Wind'.

All three skills mentioned above are special abilities possessed by Ryu.

Among them, Ryu's 'Fairy Star Song' and Lefia's 'Fairy Chase' are similar, both of which can amplify the effect of magic.

However, compared to the latter, which directly doubles the effect of attack magic, the former has the additional characteristic of "increased amplification effect at night".

Undoubtedly, this move pairs well with Ling Shu's 'Starry Abyss' mana regeneration skill.

Then, regarding 'spiritual recharge' and 'swift and powerful'...

The former means that after the skill holder enters an attack stance, the more 'magic power' they consume, the more their 'power' will continuously increase.

Furthermore, this skill does not require the user to activate it intentionally; it will automatically activate as long as both 'entering combat state' and 'starting to consume mana' are met simultaneously.

In short: As the original owner of this skill, Ryu, who is good at fighting as a 'magic swordsman', will become more and more violent as the fight goes on.

Based on this...

The effect of the skill 'Swift Wind' is even simpler.

In other words, the faster you run, the higher your attack power.

Yes, the skill description mentions attack power, not 'strength'.

This means that Ryu's magic 'Wind of Light' will also become more powerful as she runs faster.

When combined with Ryu's extremely high 'Agility' and 'Dexterity' attributes, as well as her mastery of the high-intensity 'Parallel Chanting' technique, it creates a terrifying combat effect of 'casting while moving + three-dimensional mobility + dodging damage + increasing power the further you run'.

In short, over the years, Ryu's teammates have almost never seen her standing still and casting spells.

Because once she starts casting spells while running, then... not only is it very difficult for the enemy to interrupt her spellcasting, but the faster she runs, the more efficiently she can 'charge up' her power. And considering the power boost from 'Mental Charge', you might not even be able to beat her in close combat...

This is the fundamental reason why Ryu is known as the 'Level 4 ceiling combat power'.

In Ling Shu's view...

"This is clearly an example of 'correctly adding points'."

Currently, as the duration of their sparring sessions increases, Ling Shu has noticed that Liu's 'affection' for him is also slowly rising.

But as the elf lady said, she really didn't know her own strength.

That's not...

"Hey, don't hit me in the face!"

As the pace of their battle quickened, Ling Shu could no longer keep up with Liu's high-level speed attack efficiency in 'serious mode'. He was surprised... no, 'horrified' to discover that this useless elf had a particular fondness for punching himself in the face.

Wait a minute, at this moment... did Ryu reveal a mischievous smile?

She actually enjoyed it?

"..."

Ling Shu's lips twitched.

However, this situation did not last long.

Because when Ryu's affection for Ling Shu reached '4', the former's 'Mental Recharge' skill was successfully analyzed and obtained by the latter.

"!"

Speaking of the skill 'Mental Loading', although its analysis only requires 'Affection Level 4', which is far less difficult than the mysterious level of 'Unwavering Longing', there is no doubt that it is a perfect match for Ling Shu.

Because Ling Shu, who possesses the 'Ten Commandments of the Human King' skill and the 'Genshin Impact' magic, is constantly consuming a huge amount of 'magic power'.
