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

"There are too many people on the first three levels, and quite a few on the fourth level as well. 'Goblin' doesn't expect to hunt many at all."

"The giant purple moth is poisonous, and the needle-horned rabbit is too small and fast, so it is not suitable for practice in the early stages."

"The attack range of the tongue-spining lizard and the giant frog is too large, with the maximum length of their tongues reaching several meters, making them too troublesome to entangle."

"Killer ants have hard shells and tend to swarm, so there's no need to go looking for trouble."

"War Shadow... This is the most threatening monster in the first few levels. It is even immune to physical attacks for most of its body, and can only be killed by a headshot."

His thinking was clear: "It is evident that the Earth Spirit is the most suitable 'punching bag' for me to practice on at the moment."

"Of course, anything can happen inside the underground city, so even in the 'upper' area, we can't let our guard down."

Right now, Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying Du both held the 'Sword Without Edge' that the system had rewarded them with tightly in their hands, and their steps forward were very slow.

He planned to stay on the 'fifth floor' a little longer, at least to get used to the feel of fighting monsters first.

You should know that before he transmigrated, he had lived in the city since he was a child and had never even killed a chicken.

Ling Shu knew very well that when a person kills for the first time, their body will instinctively feel resistance.

It's in a biological instinct... well, except, of course, when swatting mosquitoes.

In short, having never 'seen blood' before, he needs some time... even if it's just a few minutes, he needs this 'process' to get used to killing.

What I'm a little worried about is...

"The fighting power of Earth Spirits is actually not much different from that of wild wolves on Earth."

"They're not as smart as wolves... To be honest, the monsters in the 'upper levels' of the dungeon aren't very bright, and their attack methods are all very straightforward."

"Unlike the 'middle, lower, and deep' zones, which not only ambush adventurers but also 'snipe' them across floors."

Ling Shu went through this information in his mind.

This demonstrates the advantage of having a 'clone'.

Honestly, if Ling Shu had come here alone, even knowing he might get nothing on the first day, he would have stayed on the 'first floor' and focused on killing goblins to practice.

Now...

"When we encounter monsters later, I'll go first, and you can cover me."

Ling Shu (Kong) turned his head and informed Ying of this.

In fact, the two... including Paimon, can communicate regardless of distance using 'telepathy'.

However, Ling Shu was clearly not fully accustomed to this 'high-end' supernatural ability, and he used his words more casually.

In short...

"no problem."

Ying, whose body contained a replica of Ling Shu's own original soul consciousness, responded with a sound.

Just then...

"Crackling sound~"

The sound of cracking came from the underground city wall to the side.

Suddenly, the hard soil area, which was originally no different from the natural mountain structure, seemed to be 'wriggling' as three werewolf-like creatures 'hatched' from the opening.

The moment they landed, their red eyes, radiating a violent aura, fixed intently on Ling Shu and his group.

A deep, guttural roar reached my ears.

Ling Shu (Kong) subconsciously took a half step back.

This is a natural bodily reaction.

Definitely a newbie.

but……

"If it's just three Earth Spirits, that's perfect."

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

However, his arms and legs were still trembling slightly.

The bladeless sword, which could originally be used with just one hand, was now unconsciously gripped with both hands.

This was something he had anticipated, something he needed to 'adapt' to.

Many people living in a peaceful modern environment would instinctively tremble if they saw blood for the first time, or even if they were to fight for the first time.

But once you have 'experience', once you've had your first time...

"Whoo~"

Ling Shu believed that he would soon be able to overcome this physical instinct that had been spoiled by his comfortable past life.

next moment……

"roar~"

The three newly born earth spirits, like three wild wolves eyeing their prey, simultaneously attacked Ling Shu.

Faced with this situation...

"I'll take your kidney and liver!!!"

Ling Shu had no intention of engaging in close combat with his sword. Instead, he loosened his grip on the hilt with his left hand, forming claws with his five fingers, and simultaneously stepped back with his right foot as a fulcrum, unceremoniously unleashing his elemental combat technique.

[Wind Vortex Sword]: Grasp the power of the wind, gather a vacuum vortex in your palm, and continuously deal Anemo DMG to enemies in front of you. When the skill ends, the vacuum vortex will explode, causing Anemo DMG with a larger area of ​​effect and greater power.

This move is very similar to Jean's Crazy Duck from Genshin Impact... cough cough, it's also very similar to her Wind Pressure Sword, both of which have a pulling effect.

Furthermore, it also possesses a certain degree of 'resistance' effect.

The Traveler once used this move to block the Demon Lord's Armored Blade on the Teyvat continent.

And right now...

"Bang bang bang~"

The three earth spirits' forward momentum was forcibly stopped by the vacuum vortex, and their bodies, trapped in the 'vortex', were constantly being cut by wind blades.

Blood splattered everywhere.

next moment……

"唪~"

Aside from the splattered blood, the three earth spirits' bodies turned into black mist and exploded outwards.

"Bang~"

The 'explosive' effect of the Wind Vortex Sword only took shape a step later.

As luck would have it, the magic stone that had just fallen was shattered into pieces.

"Gan!"

Chapter 9's 'Normal Attack' is a good thing

Humans are highly adaptable creatures.

Even in Ling Shu's hometown, a world where no supernatural power exists openly, humanity has relied on this characteristic to gradually break free from the natural food chain's control over the population size.

It is precisely under the influence of this 'racial talent'...

"Phew, I've almost gotten used to the killing pace in this area."

Six hours into his first time in the dungeon, Ling Shu (Kong) concluded with this statement after killing several more Earth Spirits.

At this point, he could easily defend against enemies by coordinating with Ying, even without using elemental power, relying solely on the two bladeless swords in their hands.

It was during this process that Ling Shu once again deeply appreciated the wonderful use of the 'clone' ability.

They truly worked together seamlessly.

Often, as soon as Ling Shu (Kong) bends down, Ying, who is behind him, will unleash a sweeping sword strike without holding back.

The trajectory of the slash was exactly where he dodged.

In an instant, a single sword strike can kill an enemy who is blocking the attack.

Without a doubt, this kind of teamwork, where "a slight delay could hurt your own people," is something that can't be achieved without long-term training and absolute trust between comrades.

But Ling Shu can now easily repeat it countless times.

This is because he (his true form) and Ying maintain a constant mental link, allowing them to know each other's next move without even exchanging glances.

Thus, it can be described as a 'dual sword combination' in the style of Natsume's eight-hit combo in another world.

Far away.

In short, it is precisely under this specialized advantage that...

"After fighting for so long, I've become somewhat familiar with the 'Foreign Iron Wind' sword technique."

Speaking of this, we have to mention something that even Ling Shu himself found somewhat unexpected.

He hadn't expected that the Traveler's 'basic attack' ability wasn't just a few simple slashes as originally planned, but had evolved into a swordsmanship technique.

And most importantly: this swordsmanship... is a set of knowledge with its own set of rules.

In other words, Ling Shu can not only use it in its 'normal' state without transforming its true form, but it can even teach people.

Thus, looking to the future...

Keqing's Cloud Sword Technique, Wendy's Divine Archery, Xiangling's White-Cooked Meat Skill, Kurumi's Rebirth Spear Technique...

There's also West Wind Sword Technique, Church Spear Technique, Four Styles of Exorcising Evil, Final Ninja Sword, Kamisato Style, Genryu Style...

All of this 'knowledge,' including the parts that don't involve 'elemental power,' can become the core collection of Orario's 'secret techniques.'

It's important to know that even Ais Wallenstein, who is currently known as the "Sword Princess" by the gods and has the title of "Sword Maiden," doesn't have a single, outstanding martial arts style.

It should be said that most adventurers rely on their own developed "self-style" combat techniques.

So, under this general environment...

"Does this mean I indirectly possess a large amount of 'intangible cultural heritage'?"
