Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

A method of using the world itself to deal with the enemy?

Moreover, how can wind be used to move other elements and even substances?

It seems that quite a few applications can evolve from this!

Although everything seems simple, the issues involved are actually quite complex and far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. In Su Feng's view, opening a hole in the barrier of the world is not difficult, but to do so using only a wisp of wind element is far beyond his imagination.

If it were Su Feng himself, he would probably only be able to use that little bit of wind element to create a negligible breeze—in which case he obviously wouldn't be able to do anything.

Although he was used to attributing all power to himself, Su Feng quickly grasped the knowledge and power contained within this model after seeing it for the first time, which used the power of the world itself to achieve its own goals.

Before this, Su Feng had never imagined that Wendy could achieve such a level of power with just such a small amount of strength. It seemed that his assessment of the power of the mortal rulers was somewhat flawed. Perhaps he could indeed suppress these mortal rulers in terms of pure power, but it was clear that the years experienced by the ancient gods were still a wealth that Su Feng could not imagine at present.

The power of earthly rulers is limited, and it is extremely difficult for them to replenish their power after it has been used up in the mortal realm. This makes them extremely cautious when using their power.

Presumably, other earthly rulers also have similar methods to Wendy, using their meager power to manipulate the world for their own purposes.

"Actually, your power and authority are quite enviable. After all, the near-infinite power of the light realm and the ability to create wind without any loss in its flow are powers that I never dared to imagine before, yet you were born with such authority."

Wendy made no secret of her envy of Su Feng.

Even for him, the losses caused by the wind in its flow were quite a headache. After all, such losses were also a considerable amount in the midst of intense battles. For Venti, who was bound by the high winds that surrounded Mondstadt and had to carefully manage every bit of power, this was a loss that could not be ignored.

But Su Feng, who had always been driven by the ideal fluid he created, had never considered such a thing.

"But the wind's complete isolation and lack of damage also make you overlook some things—in fact, the impurities carried by the wind can also be utilized, and it can even be said that interacting with everything in the outside world is the best way to make the most of the wind."

Ideal fluids are indeed very useful. They are indestructible and impossible to intercept, making them one of the most terrifying blades in the universe. However, it is precisely because Su Feng possesses this indestructible blade that his thinking is limited to its indestructibility.

During battle, he doesn't need to think about much; he just needs to create the ideal fluid and throw it out all at once—generally, no one can withstand the impact of this power that shouldn't exist in the world.

So far, the enemies Su Feng has encountered are at most those who cannot be killed by the Ideal Fluid in one go, but stopping the Ideal Fluid has become an almost impossible task.

Ideal fluid is indeed powerful, but mastering this power too early means that Su Feng, who was used to simply and crudely materializing and throwing away authority, also adopted a simple and crude approach when he obtained other Herrscher powers.

Creating lightning and creating pseudo-black holes—that's how Su Feng simply used the powers he had acquired after obtaining the powers of the Herrscher of Thunder and the Herrscher of Stars, and he even felt that he was using them quite well.

This simple and brutal method did have a considerable effect on the enemies he had encountered before. After all, with the support of absolute power, his already formidable strength was enough to crush the enemies he had encountered before. However, this overly brutal method has had a very serious impact on Su Feng.

Su Feng is now starting to use his powers more aggressively—if once doesn't work, he'll try twice, and if twice doesn't work, he'll increase the output... As long as he keeps increasing the intensity, his opponent will definitely not be able to withstand it!

However, this kind of continuous and brutal escalation is not suitable for dealing with all enemies.

This is also the biggest weakness that Wendy pointed out Su Feng is currently facing.

"Let me try to harness the power of the world itself? Hmm! That's something I haven't paid attention to before, but..."

Although he knew what Wendy meant, Su Feng still couldn't adjust his mindset for a while, and his words carried a hint of hesitation.

As weapons that destroy civilization, malice towards civilization is almost ingrained in the Herrscher's instincts. This also means that, under normal circumstances, once a Herrscher is born, they are at odds with the entire world. Therefore, under such circumstances, Herrschers will instinctively rely on the power they possess to face any possible enemies.

Although Su Feng is currently transforming the Herrscher core into his own power, and much of the malice and instinct originally contained within the core has indeed been cleansed away during the transformation process, some remnants still remain and affect Su Feng.

At the very least, he instinctively wanted to have all the power in his own hands.

In fact, having mastered the power of the Light Realm, he could indeed utilize external forces, and he would even do so occasionally. However, he would not use this method to face his enemies if he could.

Relying entirely on himself was his first instinct, so before this, Su Feng had always relied on his own light boundary power and authority to deal with all enemies. The powerful attacks, the sky-covering wind and thunder, and even the more terrifying simulated black holes were all able to manifest under the support of Su Feng's endless light boundary power.

Now, under Wendy's guidance, Su Feng noticed for the first time the power and rules of the world that originated from outside himself.

"You need to learn to stand with the world—you are not the enemy of the world now. Although I know that your potential may easily reach the top of Teyvat, the world in the starry sky is endless, and sooner or later you will encounter an enemy stronger than you."

"When that time comes, and your opponent surpasses you in pure strength, how will you face your opponent?"

Wendy was speaking very seriously at this moment; he genuinely wanted to help Su Feng make up for his shortcomings.

Learning to utilize external forces is very important for Su Feng. He needs to understand and even master more knowledge, which will not only help him develop his own power, but also allow Su Feng to soar more freely in the endless world.

After all, compared to others, Su Feng's power is closer to the bottom of the world. Wendy might be restricted in other worlds due to different rules, but Su Feng will not encounter such a problem.

The adaptability of the Herrscher's powers is so great that it is enough to make most life forms envious.

"If I encounter an opponent stronger than myself..."

This is not impossible. The fully-fledged Herrschers and even the higher-level Enders are indeed very powerful, but it is impossible to say that they are absolutely without rivals. You should know that the 'Cocoon of the End' can be considered to be mass-produced in some ways.

Since there is such a being capable of achieving this level, it must mean that the other party is even more powerful. The existence of such a powerful being must mean that there is an enemy even more powerful than the Herrscher of the End.

"I understand. I might need to trouble you with this matter later."

"How to utilize external forces... I had never seriously thought about this before, nor did I have any experience in this area."

Wendy's words made a lot of sense. After thinking for a while, Su Feng nodded seriously. No matter what the reason, Su Feng should indeed learn how to utilize external forces.

Even if the final result isn't as great as he imagined, at least it will broaden his horizons.

Moreover, in the end, this progress might be able to translate into a greater control over the powers of the Herrscher, which would be a good thing for Su Feng, who is still young and only knows how to "wield a sledgehammer to smash nails".

After all, simply knowing how to 'wield a hammer' won't get you the chance to defeat your enemy.

"Hmph! Don't worry about that, I'll definitely train you well!"

Upon receiving Su Feng's affirmative answer, Wendy immediately revealed a proud expression, and it seemed from his tone that he was preparing to give Su Feng a good boost.

Unfortunately, this guy soon revealed his true colors.

"But before that, have you decided how you will pay for your tuition?"

......

This wasn't the first time Su Feng had known that Wendy was a scoundrel, but when the guy openly asked his own family for tuition, Su Feng still wondered if he should continue to consider hanging him on the cherry tree.

After all, this guy always manages to make people's blood pressure spike, no matter where they are.

So after hearing this, Su Feng had to exert a lot of effort to suppress his surging emotions. He realized that his seriousness and slight emotion just now had been wasted.

So what kind of tuition are you planning to pay?

Su Feng had a rather subtle expression on his face at this moment. He asked Wendy what she wanted with a somewhat gloomy look on his face. Unfortunately, Wendy did not notice the change in Su Feng's expression at all. Instead, his face was filled with a little pride.

"Ahem, my dear friend, what do you think... the position of the Mondstadt Wind God... well, well, I was just kidding."

Wendy coughed lightly twice, just about to say something he shouldn't, when Su Feng held a wind sword to his neck. After feeling the wind sword against his neck, which was definitely not a joke, he obediently raised his hands.

He was certain that if he continued talking, Su Feng wouldn't mind letting him live while his head was removed—after all, everyone's body was made of elements, and as long as the relevant elements weren't completely destroyed, removing his head wouldn't be a big problem for Wendy.

But it would be too unpleasant for word to get out that the Wind God was beheaded by his own familiar. Although Wendy is shameless, if his other colleagues found out about this, they would laugh at him for centuries!

"You'd better make some realistic demands, otherwise I don't mind announcing the appearance and location of the Anemo Archon to all Mondstadt people as a member of the Anemo Archon's familiar. I'll also ask the Mondstadt people to keep a closer eye on their god—after all, it's really embarrassing for a good Anemo Archon to be reduced to a bard who only knows how to freeload."

"I think you would have a pretty good experience if you actually did that, right?"

Su Feng made no attempt to hide the threatening undertone in his words, and even Wendy's expression changed drastically upon hearing them—if this guy claimed to be the Wind God, unless he actually displayed divine armor, there was a high probability that no one would believe him.

It's highly unlikely that Venti would reveal his identity, but he clearly can't control Su Feng. If Su Feng, who once protected the entire city of Mondstadt, were to announce his identity to all the people of Mondstadt...

Although there aren't many fanatics of the Wind God, there are still some. Venti doesn't believe that all Mondstadt residents can remain the same after learning their identities—even Jean can't do that!

Unsurprisingly, Wendy gave in under Su Feng's near-table-flipping threat.

"Alright, then I'll take a bottle of Diluc's Treasure!"

Knowing he still couldn't relinquish the position of Wind God, Wendy had no choice but to change his request, and this time Su Feng, who was much more normal, finally nodded.

"That's more like it, I agree!"

"So when should we find a place to officially start the course?"

Su Feng is now also curious about Wendy's professors, and after agreeing on the price, Wendy simply waved her hand generously.

"When else? Let's set off now!"

Chapter 41: Is This the Wrong World?

It wouldn't be difficult for Inazuma to find a secluded place to teach now—after all, Inazuma's previous isolation and subsequent series of disasters had made the area, except for Narukami Island, extremely desolate, with countless small islands and even several large islands becoming deserted.

This was definitely a difficult and terrible situation for Inazuma, but it also made it much easier for Wendy and Sufeng to find a place where they wouldn't be disturbed by mortals.

In a way, it's a hellish joke.

Soon the two found a deserted beach as their playground.

What do you think the world itself is like?

After finding a satisfactory location, Wendy quickly got into teaching mode, but his first question left Su Feng puzzled.

Perhaps noticing the confusion on Su Feng's face, Wendy quickly smiled. Fortunately, he didn't keep her in suspense but instead quickly described his understanding of the world in a few words.

"Although I don't know how others see it, I think the world is actually a delicate yet fragile building block."

"And all life living within it is merely a minor decoration on this work built from building blocks."

"Whether it's mortals or animals, demons or gods, everything is just adding different colors to a blank building block."

Su Feng frowned slightly at Wendy's words, but he did not choose to interrupt her.

Because theoretically speaking, this is indeed a fairly accurate description.

Life may seem important to many, but it may not be so important to the world itself—there are countless worlds so desolate that there is not a trace of life, but that does not prevent these worlds from continuing to exist.

As for building blocks—ha, in the eyes of higher-level powerful beings, transforming the world into whatever they want is a piece of cake, right?

After all, isn't Teyvat what it is now after the revamp?

"So why not learn to build with blocks yourself?"

"Perhaps we cannot completely transform the building blocks called 'the world' into our own shape, but removing one or two blocks and tilting it in the way we want is not a difficult thing."

"Just like this."

Wendy's eyes gleamed with cunning as she opened her palm again, a wisp of breeze blowing out from it.

Subsequently, in Su Feng's perception, this wisp of breeze, which Wendy had specifically marked, easily stirred up the surrounding air in a way that he could not yet understand.

Then, under his silent gaze, the gentle breeze quickly developed into a gale, which then rapidly swept across a considerable area of ​​the sea and became a terrifying storm that could terrify mortals.

How could a mere breeze, under Wendy's control, cause such a widespread storm?

After sensing it, Su Feng was even certain that its intensity was no less than the storm he had unleashed when he dealt with the evil god.

The only difference is that this storm didn't gather enough attacks to threaten an opponent of godlike status.

But that has never been a problem; even Su Feng could mix his own offensive into it.

Wendy, who created all of this, only contributed a negligible amount of elemental power, which was probably not even enough for the group of thieves to make an elemental bottle!
