Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

The dark clouds that had been silent all day began to squeeze out raindrops that fell to the ground at the turn of day and night.

The raindrops are small at first and then gradually get bigger.

Wang Chen swung his sword, trying to use the sword energy to cut the falling raindrops. He did it, but he only cut the one he aimed at.

"It's raining."

In the continent of Teyvat, even at night, the moonlight is bright enough to illuminate the way for travelers in the wild, but at this moment dark clouds blocked the moonlight.

It was a rainy night. I had been in Teyvat for almost three months and this was the first time I had seen him.

The night was darker than usual.

Rainfall in Mond is not frequent and generally lasts for a short time, rarely exceeding a day.

The plants in Teyvat grow abnormally fast, so fast that it seems unnatural to Wang Chen. It seems that they don't need to consider soil, rain, light, etc. when growing.

But later he read something even more exaggerated in the Mond Library: Legend has it that a long, long, long time ago, all plants would mature overnight after being planted, all the fish in the lakes and rivers would recover overnight after being caught, the wild boars in the forests could never be killed, and the minerals in the mountains could never be mined out.

Although it is not as good as the "Carnival Year" in the previous events of the Sun and the Moon, where food fell from the sky and minerals appeared from the ground, it is also outrageous. There is no doubt that someone is behind it.

People nowadays regard it as a legend, but Wang Chen knows that it is not a legend. From then on, he no longer finds it strange to see those plants that can grow to maturity in five or six days.

The rain is getting heavier.

He decided to end today's sword training early. Even with the blessing of the spring spirit, the rain was still merciless.

The sword was sheathed, and at his call, more than fifty wind blades slashed at the falling raindrops without reservation. Even so, it was impossible to cut down all the raindrops nearby.

He stopped trying and continued to release the Wind Vortex Sword towards the top of his head, allowing his mental strength to be rapidly consumed by the swept rain.

This can clear all the rain in an area, but it is not as good as Rustan who can cut off the falling rain one by one with just his sword.

What level has that swordsmanship reached?

He sighed. The more he learned, the less he felt he knew. Wang Chen didn't dare to imagine what Rustan's West Wind Swordsmanship was like. All he could do was to make progress, and keep improving.

The remaining part of his mental strength manipulated the elemental force to the surface of his body, and then he rushed towards Mondstadt.

Because we were not walking on a main road, the small amount of fallen leaves and grass on the ground were soaked with rain water and were slippery to walk on. Occasionally, there were small puddles that filled up in a short time, and water splashed everywhere when you stepped into them.

Dust, grass, and the smell of rain wafted upward against the rain and into Wang Chen's nose.

Although the elemental force blocked the erosion of rain, the feeling of moving in the rain still made him feel uncomfortable.

Whether it is the road from the dormitory to the classroom when going to school, or the road that you have to walk to go to work, as long as it rains, you have to hold an umbrella to block the rain, and at the same time be careful about your step, trying to avoid getting your shoes and trouser legs wet and uncomfortable.

But at times like this there is always some wind, which makes it impossible to completely resist the raindrops flying in at an angle.

Once it rains at night, people who were originally busy after school or get off work are all rushing to escape from the rain, and the bustle turns into panic and anxiety.

Home becomes especially warm at this moment.

Wang Chen recalled that he once worked overtime until one in the morning, and there was no one on the street to hide from the rain. He was about to take a taxi back to his small shelter, but unexpectedly found a direct night bus nearby. He got on the bus and let it take him through the rain on a route he had never taken. However, he still had to hide from the wind and rain on the section of the road after getting off the bus.

Lonely, lonely, cold, that's what it's like, right?

So rainy nights are the weather he hates the most.

When Wang Chen passed through a dark forest and entered another dark forest, he heard the sound of other people running in the rain from his right, their footsteps were heavy and hurried.

He instantly became alert and drew his sword without slowing down.

The figure was faster than him, so it gradually became clearer. It was a tall man wearing a tattered cloak.

Are you here to find me?

Wang Chen found out that the person coming was the chief instructor. Seeing that he had been caught up, he simply slowed down and stopped, turned around and asked, "Why are you here? Has the practical training of the new recruits ended?"

no respond.

However, the chief instructor also stopped after the distance was shortened.

His head was slightly lowered, and in his right hand he held a pitch-black sword that was about to blend into the night but was illuminated by the rain. The sword guard was in a peculiar spiral shape, as if it could absorb one's mind at a glance.

What surprised Wang Chen was that the chief instructor did not activate the elemental force protection, so under the heavy rain, his hair and clothes were limp and stuck to his body, outlining his muscular figure.

"Instructor?"

A strange atmosphere permeated.

Sensing something was wrong, Wang Chen retreated towards Mond City while calling out, but for every step he took back, the chief instructor took two steps after him.

Wang Chen began to speed up, and the chief instructor also accelerated, and his speed was faster than his.

We are still more than ten kilometers away from Mondstadt, and it will take twenty minutes even if we run at full speed... This is not a solution.

"Instructor, please stop scaring me!"

Wang Chen stopped again, and the chief instructor stopped in tacit understanding, but after the chase just now, the distance between them was shortened again.

Wang Chen saw the pair of dull eyes through the rain.

"Instructor, do you have something to talk to me about? Or do you have something bothering you that you want to talk to someone about? Can you please speak?"

The two sides reached a stalemate.

The chief instructor raised the pitch-black sword and then put it down.

At a certain moment, Wang Chen saw the chief instructor's eyes regain clarity. It was really just a moment. At the same time, the chief instructor said: "Run!"

Wang Chen turned around abruptly and used his speed technique at full power, but due to mental fatigue and the gap in hard power, he was quickly caught up by the instructor.

I can't outrun you...

The positions of the two have been reversed, and the instructor is standing in front of Wang Chen.

Wang Chen noticed that the chief instructor was in an abnormal state, as if he was being controlled by someone or something.

That pitch-black sword is one that I have never seen the instructor use before. Could it be the same as the 'Cage Fishing Bottle Isshin' that appeared in the game?

Without saying a word, the chief instructor pointed the tip of his sword at Wang Chen.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Chen couldn’t beat the instructor, not to mention that his mental strength was now exhausted, but... the way back to Mond was blocked, so he had no choice but to fight.

Maybe try to knock that sword off.

Three wind blades pierced through the rain, trying to attack the chief instructor's sword-holding hand.

The chief instructor swung his sword continuously, faster than the wind blades could fly, and blocked them all without a doubt.

The dagger that he bought a long time ago was also thrown away by Wang Chen, and then was picked up by the chief instructor with a sword.

The chief instructor began to advance.

"Wind pressure sword!"

The wind blew up the rain and looked like a hydroelectric drill, but Wang Chen did not dare to use the suction force to attract the instructor. When dealing with someone who was much stronger than himself, that would be a chance for others to get close to him.

After accumulating power a little, the Wind Pressure Sword sprayed towards the instructor with rain. However, the instructor responded with a Wind Pressure Sword, which not only shattered Wang Chen's Wind Vortex Sword, but also pushed Wang Chen backwards with the remaining wind waves.

His feet left two traces in the mud, and Wang Chen was able to steady himself only after he inserted the Wentian Sword into the ground.

He had no energy left to control the elemental forces for protection. The heavy rain instantly soaked his cloak and clothes, causing them to crawl on his body like sticky snakes, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

The chief instructor's attacks followed one after another. The black sword swept past, and without any sword energy, it made Wang Chen feel extremely sharp.

Once injured, it can definitely easily penetrate the elemental defense and cut the skin and flesh, right?

There is indeed something unusual about this sword.

The sword's power was like a violent storm, surpassing the speed of raindrops returning to the earth in a rainstorm. Knowing that this was truly a life-and-death crisis, Wang Chen forced himself to be alert, precisely controlled his body, and blocked the chief instructor's fatal attacks several times from the brink of collapse.

But inevitably, he suffered many wounds and his cloak became tattered.
