Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

"Besides, the bargaining chips we have here...I will verify your personal strength later, and I will also find a way to support you. The two most important things now are: one is your willpower, and the other is how to save your life in the Pure Land of One Mind if you fail."

"Save your life?"

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment. He heard the support from the front and thought that the Son of God wanted to show up and save him in the critical moment.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Yae Shinko corrected him, "You have to understand Inazuma's martial spirit. How can a duel between warriors be allowed to be disrupted when the outcome is still undecided? If I go to save you regardless of the situation, she will just chop us both to death, and then we will really become a pair of desperate lovers."

Although she knew that the Son of God was joking, Xie Yan felt that the Son of God's metaphor was a bit strange. She had never used such an expression to describe herself before.

"so what should I do?"

"You don't have to do anything, just don't get carried away."

Shen Zi gave him a deep look as he spoke.

This guy seems calm, but in fact, she is very clear about the cruelty and madness beneath his calmness... Maybe many people are cruel enough, but they are cruel to others. Xie Yan can be cruel to himself, and under favorable conditions, he can practice without sleep like a machine.

As for Ying, there is no need to worry. Xie Yan possesses the Five Lightning Transmissions and has inherited the legacy from Ying's old friends. As long as he enters the Pure Land of One Mind and can block two of her swords, Ying will not kill him.

Therefore, the real problem lies with Xie Yan. Yae Shenzi always feels that with his personality, he will not be so obedient when facing Ying... This guy is not very good at coaxing girls.

"Speaking of which, can you actively activate your ability to recover from injuries?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

Xie Yan was stunned. How could he have the ability to recover from injuries? Even with his extraordinary physique, he would choose to continue fighting.

Yae Shinko was also surprised: "You don't know? Don't you feel that you recover from injuries much faster than ordinary people... This has been the case since you were not practicing yet."

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, but then he understood immediately: Avalon.

If there was no such thing as Infinite Blade Works, he really wouldn't have thought of this. The principles of the two are the same: he also has the same configuration as Shirou.

But unfortunately, without the magic power of Sarge, this thing can only play a role of slow recovery. It only played the effect of rapid blood recovery after Shirou and Saber signed the contract... If you want to release your real name, you have to rely on Sarge even more.

But where did Xie Yan get a Slowpoke? The draw card pool only had Red A's skills and things from Teyvat itself. There was still hope for Infinite Blade, but it was impossible for Slowpoke.

"I can't actively stimulate it." Xie Yan briefly explained to Shen Zi, and he added: "But I do have a way to quickly recover."

"what?"

"Magic replenishment."

Mana replenishment can convert vitality into magic power, which for Xie Yan means replenishing his blue bar, allowing him to perform Tengu Chop and Hundred Heads Shooting more times.

Yae Shinko was quite interested at first, but after listening to Xie Yan's explanation of the principles and methods of replenishing magic, her delicate and fair face suddenly turned a little red.

Body...body fluid exchange! You are quite good at playing, aren't you?

You sound so reasonable, have you made up with others before?

"Did you make this up on purpose to trick me? I've never heard of a way to replenish spiritual energy like this... But we, the fox tribe, can absorb the energy of others."

"That's great, I'll replenish your health and you'll replenish my mana."

Yae Shinko rolled her eyes at him, but did not tease him by saying "Are you afraid of being drained?" In her heart, this guy was already a man, not a boy.

"Okay, I already understand the general situation. What remains is to test your strength. If your strength is not up to standard, I will not allow you to take risks."

"Ah."

Xie Yan nodded solemnly.

He felt that today's heart-to-heart talk was very important, and the slight estrangement between him and the Son of God completely disappeared... Although he didn't know the Son of God's painstaking efforts, he could see the expectation in the other's eyes.

27 Anti-Lightning General Special Training

"Oh, right, I just happened to get a bonus of 200 million Mora today, let's top it up first."

This time the enhancement does not require too much time to think. Xie Yan has said before that his physical fitness enhancement is a balanced addition of points. Last time he added extraordinary physique, and the next slight enhancement will probably be extraordinary strength, extraordinary agility and the like.

If he could acquire two more specialties, he estimated that his normal combat capabilities would be comparable to those of Yingmei, a three-element warrior, when using the Hatangetsu Byakujinjin.

When Xie Yan went down the mountain with Yae Shinzi, he carried out this strengthening.

首先是先把可以充的首充用掉，这和游戏中的档次一样，分为6、30、98、198、328、648，谢言充完以后加上月卡所得总计是338万摩拉。

I have to explain here that the system has some restrictions on Mora's income. He cannot get money through fraud or other means. He can only use legitimate methods such as entrustment, trading, and working... Xie Yan estimated that it was a problem with the current game review standards.

As for being a gigolo, he has never tried that before, so he will have to shamelessly try it with the Son of God later.

but now...

The thought came to his mind, and just as Xie Yan had expected, after spending 100 million Mora, new options appeared before him.

"You have reached the advanced level of agility and gained the personal specialty [Extraordinary Agility]. Please choose an enhanced reward."

"Option 1: [Dual Weapon Combat (Proficiency)]: Through hard training and battles, you gradually learned to dual-wield weapons, which gives you more attacks but also slightly reduces your hit rate. [Number of attacks per round +2, hit rate -1]"

"Option 2: [Mind's Eye (True)]: This is a keen insight formed during long battles. It can predict the enemy's actions in advance. Even if you are at a disadvantage, as long as there is a 1% chance, you can seize the opportunity to break through and implement tactics. [Dodge +2, Hit +2] (An additional 100 million Mora is required)"

This made Xie Yan feel conflicted, as dual-weapon combat greatly enhanced his abilities and could bring out the advantages of projection, while the skill of Mind's Eye was equally crucial.

After thinking it over, he chose Heart (True). If he really fought with Lei Dianying at that time, he could at least hold on for a while longer.

The remaining 138 million Moras were strengthened with 100 million and upgraded to extraordinary strength. However, the options were relatively simple. Xie Yan chose [Tenacity], which gave a +2 strength judgment when blocking enemy weapons. It was also prepared for sword fights... Unfortunately, the next attribute upgrade would be a long way off.

...

"Where are we going?"

"Of course, I'd rather go to Yingxiang Mountain. We need to find a more secluded place."

Yae Shen Zi and Xie Yan spread their wings of wind and glided in the air. With her leading the way, Xie Yan followed her and turned left and right for several circles. He could no longer tell the directions.

Minimap? Of course there is this feature, but you have to pay to keep it enabled, which made Xie Yan suspect that the system's creator's surname was Ma.

"arrive."

Yae Shinko brought Xie Yan slowly to land on a grassy field. In fact, she could fly without the help of the Wings of Wind, and her main purpose was to take care of Xie Yan.

Xie Yan looked around. This place was probably halfway up Yingxiang Mountain. From here, he could see the pit where the roots of the sacred cherry tree were located, emitting a strange black and purple mist. This was the breath of the "tumor".

"I know about the problem with the sacred cherry tree. I have asked the priestess to start preparations." Yae Shinko said in a low voice.

Xie Yan nodded. In the game, Narukami Taisha had already noticed and sent out the shrine maiden, but he didn't expect that Hanasari would guide Yingmei.

By the way, speaking of this, he remembered that there was something important that he hadn’t said, so he briefly recounted the matter of Lei Yingshu and Hua Sanli.

As for the former, Xie Yan had been to the scene in person and described it in more detail. As for the latter, Xie Yan could only say that he judged that she was related to Hu Zhai Palace based on the clues at the scene.

"Kousai Palace..." Yae Shinko suddenly fell silent, her bright purple eyes dimming a little. "Really? When you asked me to be the chief priest, you never said that I could only sneak out to watch the festival in the future."

At that time, she was still a little fox. It was not until she became a chief priest that she realized the responsibilities that Kitsunayari had once borne and her determination to protect Inazuma at the cost of her life.

And now, the torch has been passed on, and this determination and courage has been passed on to her little apprentice...but this time, she will protect him no matter what.

"So, in the next training, I will simulate Shadow's use of lightning power. As for close-range sword fighting, it depends on you. Are you ready?"

"bring it on."

Unlike the test in the game where slimes and hillbillies were used for testing, Yae Kamiko personally acted as his opponent.

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and dozens of killing cherry trees formed a circle and surrounded Xie Yan. The lightning element in the nearby area was activated, forming a vortex of thunder.

This simulates the effect of the Thunder Eye of Huojin, and in a moment it turned into countless lightning bolts that bombarded down.

As if to intimidate Xie Yan, she attacked quickly this time, but with her mind (true) ability, although it was the first time Xie Yan saw this kind of pure elemental attack, he was still able to roughly judge the trajectory of the lightning. He slightly deflected his body at the critical moment and avoided several lightning strikes.

The sword was unsheathed quickly, and its speed was so fast that it left an afterimage in the air, hitting the core of the thunder eye without any deviation. Then it blocked forward, blocking the lightning strike with a dull sound, and colliding with countless sparks.

The Eightfold God Son did not hold back. Xie Yan only felt his arm numbed by the shock. The lightning spread along the weapon to his arm, and the tough Tenmoku Kage katana made a crackling sound.

The sound of metal clashing could be heard.

Xie Yan quickly swung his sword to block the lightning strike, but his sword was actually split in half by the lightning. However, he did not panic.

"Trace, on!"

A new Tenmoku Kage Tachi appeared in his hand again. This weapon was the sword he had used for the longest time. The manufacturing cost was greatly reduced, making it very suitable for conventional combat.

But at this time, the Eightfold God Son also created a lightning spear and threw it at him, forcing him to retreat.

Even though he had been strengthened before the battle and also possessed the skill of Mind's Eye, due to the gap in hard power, Xie Yan could not find any chance to reverse the situation.

It can be imagined that if he were to fight against General Lei Dian, the pressure would be even greater.

But Xie Yan is no longer as confused as he was at the beginning. Even though the gap is obvious, it cannot shake his belief.

The impact force caused Xie Yan to retreat backwards. Behind him was a towering mountain wall. At this time, the Eightfold Son of God simulated the effect of "no thoughts or ideas, and the four seas return to silence", creating a large-scale thunder circle that enveloped Xie Yan.

It stands to reason that he would definitely suffer a wave of damage, but at this moment Xie Yan suddenly had an idea. He used the power of the thunder to retreat and create some distance. He nimbly stomped on the mountain wall a few times and leaped into the air to avoid the thunder circle.

"I am the bone of my sword."

He simulated the spell in his mind to amplify it, and with his left hand in front of him, he projected a shield in the shape of four petals, and slashed down at the Son of God from a high position.

The blazing sky covers seven rings!

For the first time, the Eightfold Son of God showed a look of astonishment, and immediately activated the Great Secret Technique. The Heavenly Fox Revealed Its True Self, and the surrounding Killing Cherry Blossoms were destroyed and transformed into Heavenly Fox Thunder that descended, easily breaking the first three petal shields.

The petals turned into purple powder and dissipated. Sharp crackling sounds continued to be heard. He knew that the remaining shield in his hand might not last for a second, but it was enough.

"Tenguchao!"

It takes some time to prepare to shoot the hundred heads, so he chose Tengu Sho, and the sword in his hand turned into Hadetsu Hakujin in the air.

Two figures passed each other.

The chaotic white moon in Xie Yan's hand suddenly turned into dust and dissipated. He was gasping for breath. Several consecutive high-intensity projections plus the ultimate skill had left him with very little mana. Not a single piece of his clothes was intact. They were tattered like a beggar.

In terms of how embarrassed he was, this was the first time.

but--

He was not injured, and neither was Yae Shinko, because both of them avoided the attacks at the last moment.

"If your opponent was me, I would make you unable to bear it. What will you do if the enemy turns into me in the future?" Yae Shinko scolded him again.

Although she said this, she was actually very happy in her heart, but how could she say such a thing openly?

Xie Yan curled his lips and thought, didn’t you stop just now?

This scumbag fox is actually still a tsundere?

in addition...

"Son of God, did you just... reveal your tail?" Xie Yan remembered that the description of Son of God's ultimate move said that when using this move, she would show the proof of the Heavenly Fox. He also vaguely saw a pink tail just now.

"You're wrong."

Yae Shinko's tone was calm, but his body moved unnaturally.

"Want to see me show my tail? Then keep working hard. Once I defeat Ying, it's not impossible for me to let you touch it."

Yae Shinko was quite satisfied with his response, which had exceeded the standard in her mind for executing the plan to enter the One-Minded Pure Land. For this reason, she was willing to encourage him... Anyway, Xie Yan couldn't do this in a short time, right?

Because before that, there is one most important step - willpower.

It is impossible to defeat Lei Dianying without the help of willpower, as she is one of the top demons.

"If you want to resonate with the power of will, the Eye of God is indispensable. Only when you have the purest wish can you feel and borrow this power."

"But...why don't I have the Eye of God?"

28 If you don't give me the Eye of God, then I can only give you the Heart of God

This question had already come up when the two met last time. Being brought up again at this time, Xie Yan's doubts reached their peak.

The Eye of God should have nothing to do with his identity as a time traveler. The system had already prepared his identity background for him at the beginning of his time travel. If combined with the plot in the game, the World Tree was directly modified to leave records about Xie Yan. He even has elders who can be traced. The distant relative who left behind an inheritance is also a good friend of Alice.

So, what exactly was holding him back?

"The core of the Eye of God is desire, and it is pure desire." Yae God saw the doubt in his heart, "I didn't tell you too much before because you know more. If you have a purpose in your heart, it will make you impure."

"Then why are you telling me now? Is there any way to borrow the power of will without the help of the Eye of God?"

“Unfortunately, no one can do that at the moment.”

Xie Yan was not disappointed. After all, Yingmei and Longge were exceptions, but didn’t this mean that they were in a deadlock?

"I'm telling you now because I think the problem isn't with you. This isn't a compliment. You do have a soul that would attract the attention of the gods." Yae Shinko turned her head slightly to look in the direction of the castle tower. "But since the country's isolation order was issued, as far as I know, not only Inazuma, but no one else in the outside world has possessed the Thunder God's Eye."

Xie Yan nodded. This matter had already been introduced in the final plot of Bidding Farewell to the Long-forgotten Body. Later, when General Lei Dian entered the pool, her background story stated that she did not know about this.

Just looking at the previous and subsequent plots, although the distribution of the Eye of God mainly depends on Sky Island, the Seven Gods should also have certain authority, so Yingwuxing's thoughts will interfere with the distribution of the Eye of God.

So, from what the Son of God said, could it be that he should have awakened the Eye of God during this period of time because the Eye of God is thunder, but it just happened to be stuck?
