Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

Wang Chen got up early out of habit, then he remembered that he no longer had to go to the Knights training ground.

He lay in bed reflecting on himself.

Being used to the realm settings in various novels and the levels in games, he was a little inflated after getting the elemental power of wind because there was no level panel and detailed realm division when he first arrived in Teyvat. Fortunately, he was beaten down by the chief instructor, which gave him a new understanding of the combat power of the continent of Teyvat.

It is natural that martial arts exist on the continent of Teyvat.

People have always been pursuing physical strength. Primitive people also had a martial art called survival skills, but there was no systematic summary.

But the martial arts of the continent of Teyvat are a little more special.

Originally, it was just a simple elemental force defense. A person without elemental force could not break it directly with bare hands. He could only try to see whether his own physical strength was exhausted first or the opponent's elemental force was exhausted first. However, elemental force can be replenished continuously.

This is when weapons come into play.

The weapon says you can't use elemental power, then let me do it, take me, use me well, and you can break this simple defense.

Therefore, in order to catch up with the holders of the Eye of God, ordinary people took up weapons one after another. Their martial arts and weapons became inseparable, and their realm was divided into form, intention, and spirit.

When Wang Chen uses the sword, it is the sword shape, sword intent, and sword spirit.

He once privately asked the chief instructor what the differences were between these realms.

The chief instructor replied:

"Sword form means the sword has its own shape. Just pick a set of sword techniques and practice them well, and you've mastered the sword form.

"Sword intention, that is, the sword has its own intention. The unity of man and sword can be achieved through accumulation of time or sudden enlightenment of talent, and when sword intention is reached, sword energy will definitely be used.

"Sword God, that is, the sword has its own god. Only those who can use the sword to perfection can be considered to have entered the realm. It is said that the Sword God can change the shape of the sword energy at will. Even without elemental power, the sword energy alone can already compete with the holder of the Eye of God.

"However, in the past hundred years, there has been no pure sword god in Mondstadt who does not rely on the Eye of God. After all, the only example that can be given is the Lion of Light, Erendrin. His realm is undoubtedly that of a sword god."

Wang Chen seemed to understand what he heard, and felt like he was in some martial arts world with supernatural powers.

However, he understood that to reach these levels, one's body movements, footwork, reaction, judgment, blocking and parrying abilities, and the ability to see through weaknesses and attack would all be good.

He was completely confused by the "division of elemental control power" by the author of "Approaching Elemental Power" and was obsessed with the control of elemental power and the research of combat skills. He almost embarked on the path of no return as the Glass Cannon Little Mage. Now he seriously doubted that the author was really a mage.

Real combat does not only depend on elemental control.

Without the protection of elemental power, the holder of the Eye of God has only slightly better physical fitness than ordinary people, and will die if hit by a sword, so a martial arts master has a chance to fight for his life in close combat with the holder of the Eye of God.

When someone stabs you with a sword, no matter if he only has elemental enchantments or sword energy, will you dodge?

If you can't avoid it, you will die.

To put it bluntly, it still depends on the comprehensive practical experience... Someone like the chief instructor must be at the maximum level.

Experience, experience, but there is no book of experience in this world. Everyone has gained experience through hard work.

If Wang Chen was asked to rank the combat power in the past, it would definitely be:

1. Throne. The first throne, the second throne, in no particular order.

2. Heavenly Principle and the Four Original Shadows. These were created by the First Throne, and Heavenly Principle showed the power to suppress the Seven Gods.

3. Seven Gods and Seven Dragon Kings. The First Throne had clearly defeated the Seven Dragon Kings, but Sky Island had sent out seven God Hearts to create the Seven Gods. Did someone have to occupy these seven positions? This made Wang Chen a little concerned.

4. Demon Gods. The Seven Gods are the best among the Demon Gods. Regardless of whether the Seven Gods rely on strength or luck, there is no need to say more about the strength of the Demon Gods.

5. The Seven Gods’ Followers and the Fatui’s Executive Officers. The Fatui’s Executive Officers borrowed the power of the Ice God and were equivalent to the Ice God’s Followers.

6. Immortals and stronger God's Eye holders. For example, Qiqi and Ganyu? But the two have never fought each other, and the immortals should have more special methods.

7. Ordinary God's Eye holders. The last one, no need to say more.

There are also differences in strength among the Seven Gods, Demon God, Fatui Executive, and Immortals at each level, but if they are divided into a large category, that's probably it. Wang Chen doesn't want to divide them into level one immortal, level two immortal... level nine immortal and so on.

If this ranking is posted online, there will be many different opinions unless the people on the list can actually compete with each other, right? But there is no such thing as the Internet anymore.

Wang Chen smiled bitterly.

If we ask him to rank the battle power again now, it would basically be the same, but with some additions.

Mainly for ordinary people, their martial arts attainments combined with sword energy must be taken seriously.

If one can use sword energy, the sword form is comparable to a weaker holder of the Divine Eye; the sword intent has surpassed that of an ordinary Divine Eye holder; the sword god should be at the same level as a stronger Divine Eye holder or even slightly better.

Wang Chen felt a headache.

The final new ranking should be:

1. The throne.

2. Heavenly principles, the original four shadows.

3. Seven gods, seven dragon kings.

4. The devil.

5. The Seven Gods’ followers and the Fatui’s executive officers.

6. Immortal, God’s Eye is top-level.

7. Advanced Eye of God, Sword God.

8. Intermediate level of God’s Eye, sword intent.

9. God’s Eye, primary level, sword shape.

Although it seems that the changes are only on the lowest few levels, from the immortals upwards, it is no longer achievable by human power alone, so these changes have a huge impact.

Wang Chen recognized his own level—the ninth level, the lowest level.

In addition to these, there are also "Gold" Rhinedot, Alice, etc. It is difficult to say about these characters.

The dark monsters created by Rhinedort invaded the seven countries, bringing great disasters to the people. They also created the magic dragon Durin and the "Son of Chalk" Albedo, and could create golden king beasts unintentionally.

Just looking at her creations, it can be said that they are comparable to the Seven Gods. So what about her own strength?

Is he stronger than the creatures or is he like a fragile summoner?

Wang Chen tends to prefer the former.

He sighed, feeling that he had gone off topic. Rhinedort's strength was not important; what was important was alchemy.

In addition to martial arts and elemental power, the continent of Teyvat also has alchemy. Although alchemy does not seem to directly help improve combat power, it has strong auxiliary capabilities.

When Wang Chen was in the training ground, he wanted to learn how to make the healing potion. After all, he was fighting alone, and if he got injured, he couldn't switch to Qiqi, Barbara, Xinhai, or Bennett to heal him.

Thinking of this, he counted on his fingers: "Practice mental control, increase mental energy, practice swordsmanship, and add alchemy. Just right, the daily schedule is full."

The retired life at the age of 18 is gone forever, but in order to enhance his strength, Wang Chen is willing to give up this kind of life.

After recognizing his true strength, he continued to live such a comfortable life, fearing that he would hear the voice from the unknown: "How can you sleep at this age and stage?!"

"Then get up and exercise!"

Wang Chen sat up with a somersault, then sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and let his mental energy dissipate.

Thirty tiny gusts of wind were flying freely in the room.

While struggling to maintain the trajectory of each wind, he tried to separate a new wind.

In fact, multitasking is often used in daily life, such as talking while eating, listening to music while typing code, and driving while keeping your foot on the clutch, turning the steering wheel, and observing the road conditions.

Eyes, ears, mouth, nose, limbs, if you really want to talk about it, everyone can do many things at the same time, but this heavily relies on the coordination of different parts of the body, and there is always a primary and secondary distinction in consciousness.

Wang Chen is doing the same thing now: the main consciousness remains unchanged, and then the consciousness is split out to do other things.

The difference is that this time it is purely on the mental level and can no longer rely on physical coordination.

He kept trying to split out a consciousness, and this idea became stronger and stronger, gradually affecting other consciousnesses.

Then the thirty gusts of wind stopped and all dissipated.

"Ugh……"

Wang Chen reproduced the thirty gusts of wind one by one, and divided his spirit into thirty parts.

Except for the main consciousness, other consciousnesses can now only make a gust of wind move around a trajectory, just like creating a mouth that can only chew or a nose that can only breathe. The advantage is that there is no need to pay special attention to it, and the main consciousness can still do other things.

If we use this consciousness to do other more complex things, we won’t be able to do it.

Even so, it is already very difficult. When he was training a few days ago, he worked overtime at night. Fortunately, he has plenty of time now.

He continued to force the mind to split, and it took him an hour to complete his goal.
