Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

The next day.

After several unsuccessful attempts at persuasion, Catherine registered Wang Chen's application to be promoted to a senior adventurer based on his combat power.

"Please be very careful!"

The maximum adventurer level is senior adventurer. Although there is a legendary adventurer above that, it is just a decoration set up by the Ice Queen out of interest.

There are two ways to upgrade your level. One is to accumulate commissions, and the other is to defeat enemies of different levels in the combat power assessment under the witness of at least two adventurers who are two levels higher than you.

But when you reach the intermediate level adventurer, it is impossible to find two legendary adventurers, not even one.

Due to special circumstances, the Adventurer's Association allows intermediate adventurers to find two senior adventurers to act as witnesses, but this will greatly reduce the safety of the promoted adventurers.

The reason why the Adventurer's Association requires two adventurers who are two levels higher than themselves to act as witnesses is not only to ensure fairness: once the promoted person is later found to have a strength that does not match his level, both the witnesses and the promoted person will be disqualified from being adventurers.

It is also to protect the promoted people: they are two levels higher, no matter how they got there, at least there will be no problem in dragging the promoted people away to escape.

But the enemies faced by the intermediate adventurers are powerful, and the witnesses are only one level higher, so...

"Please be careful!" Catherine reminded again and again.

"Don't worry! I've made sufficient preparations."

"May the wind god protect you."

"You still believe in the God of Wind?" Wang Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that although Catherine was a winter mecha girl, her heart was so warm.

"In the kingdom of the God of Wind, this is the only way to say it, right?" Catherine smiled slightly.

"Hey, let's get going quickly. I can't wait any longer." Ryan urged from behind.

The witnesses this time are Ying and Ryan.

"Wait a moment. I'll call a carriage."

"Oh, riding in a carriage is not as fast as running. Why don't you exercise more, young man?"

"Ah? Why do you think I called a carriage? Wasn't it all to take care of you?"

Ryan used his little finger to pick his ear. "Take care of me? You really are looked down upon. It's not necessary."

"If you don't want to take a carriage, just tell me earlier. It costs a lot of Mora to go outside the city, and the charge is based on the time..."

"You didn't ask either?"

"..."

Ryan laughed loudly and said to Wang Chen and Ying, "Let's go! Let's show you youngsters how fast I am!"

Then he pulled the sword belt behind him to lift the sword off the ground, and ran out of the city first, saying, "The last one to arrive is the puppy!"

Hearing this, Paimeng flew out with a whoosh. Wang Chen and Ying looked at each other helplessly and hurriedly chased after him.

Before leaving Mondstadt, Ryan's speed was normal. After leaving the city, he saw that Wang Chen and Ying were catching up, so he immediately started to speed up.

"Sorry, I don't want to be a puppy!" Ying turned around and shouted to Wang Chen, and started to speed up.

"...This...Me!" Wang Chen was running so fast that his feet were flying. The sprinting technique he had mastered for a long time allowed him to run at a speed of 45 kilometers per hour. However, his speed was far behind Ying, and he was even more unable to catch up with Ryan.

Wang Chen suddenly thought of Wang Chen Mo Ji\u003d'Wang Chen' Mo Ji, if Senuo was here, he could tell him jokes.

"No! Wait for me! I don't want to be the last one!"

When Wang Chen had run four-fifths of the way, Ryan had already reached the top of the Frost Tree. The one who was faster than Ryan was Paimon.

"The little guy flies so fast!"

"Hey, uncle, you're not bad either!"

“Hahaha, who do you think will run last?”

"It must be Chen!"

"Just like I thought, I was the one who tricked that guy."

"By the way, it seems like you love to laugh."

"What's the saying? An uncle who loves to laugh will have good luck!"

When Wang Chen had run six-sevenths of the way, Ying also arrived.

"The winner is decided, hahahaha!"

When Wang Chen ran over, the first thing he said was: "I didn't agree to compete with you!"

He chased after him desperately, wanting to see if Ryan used the Sprint spell, and if so, what elemental force it was. Unfortunately, Ryan ran too fast and he couldn't see it at all.

Ryan waved his hand and said, "It's just a joke, but you can't run as fast as this little girl. That's not good."

Ryan's speed was definitely beyond the reach of ordinary God's Eye holders. In Wang Chen's opinion, he either hid his God's Eye or reached the realm of Sword God, a pure Sword God who did not rely on the God's Eye that had not appeared in Mond for nearly a hundred years according to the chief instructor.

It's impossible that he can use elemental power without the Eye of God like himself and Ying, right?

Falling from the broken ceiling of the Frost Tree's house, Wang Chen awakened the Frost Tree after Ying and Ryan hid.

Four rows of ice cones were chasing him, and when they were about to be encountered, he exerted force with one side of his body and turned sharply to avoid them.

When he was training at the Knights' training ground, he thought that dodging left or right would require a turning of the body. Now he knows he was wrong. In the game, when dodging, the character will indeed face the direction of the dodging, and in reality, one can dodge left or right even without turning the body.

It's just that there really is no invincibility frame, so it's impossible to dodge by bumping into the enemy's attack.

The Frost Tree then used its simulated hands to spray out parallel frost rays.

"good chance!"

Wang Chen immediately rushed forward, holding the Wind Vortex Sword in his left hand and the Fire Element Particle in his right hand, and attacked the glowing proto-nucleus at the root of the Quickly Frozen Tree. A mist rose instantly, and the proto-nucleus seemed to be melting, but as the icy light flowed, it instantly returned to its original state.

The Frost Tree quickly smashed its face towards Wang Chen, and the huge shadow it cast covered Wang Chen tightly. However, because it moved quickly, the four relatively thin petals retracted like the wings of a badminton ball, and did not fall to the ground until Wang Chen dodged it, so the actual attack range was not as large as the shadow.

"It was a close call. I thought I was going to be hit by a steamroller."

The Frost Tree used another head-shaking attack, Frost Leaf Spiral, vowing to force Wang Chen out of its close range.

When he had another chance to attack, Wang Chen discovered that in such a short period of time, the nucleus of the frozen tree, which had originally dimmed a little, was actually recovering slowly.

The spherical nucleus flickered, and when the elemental vision was turned on, one could clearly see it absorbing the ice element.

"It seems we have to hurry."

This time he used the Wind Vortex Sword and the Wind Pressure Sword at the same time. After the Wind Pressure Sword was released from the sword body, it was first dyed red, and then spread to the Wind Vortex Sword. With the two swords working together, the nucleus instantly melted by half, and the repair speed was also significantly slowed down.

The Frozen Tree became anxious, and swept across the ground with its face close to the ground, and its two arms lashed towards Wang Chen like whips.

Wang Chen hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should take the opportunity to cut off its "arms", because these two arms were relatively thin, only as thick as Eula's thighs.

It would be better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them!

He gritted his teeth and swung his sword upwards to block, but a "bang!" sound dispelled his thoughts. The arm was as hard as thousand-year-old ice.

He quickly used the impact to slide backwards, patiently waiting for the next opportunity.

After repeating the attack four times, the nucleus at the root of the Frozen Tree completely melted into a big pit, and it instantly collapsed to the ground. Wang Chen was still thinking of firing a Wind Erosion Sword into the pit, but the head of the Frozen Tree happened to block the pit.

"Forget it, the head is a weak point anyway."

Layers of inverted and rotating arc-shaped wind blades gathered in his palm, forming a jade-green sphere that kept flowing. After the introduction of some fire element particles, it turned into a strong fiery red color and was pushed towards the face of the Frozen Tree under Wang Chen's control.

It is called a face, but in fact it is a large piece of ice-like substance in the center of the pistil. Wang Chen realized something was wrong as soon as he touched it.

"Why is it so hard? Aren't you temporarily losing your resistance?"

The fire blade was like a chainsaw encountering an alloy steel plate, rubbing against the face of the frozen tree and producing sparks. Although there was progress, it was relatively slow.

"Is Ning's face the same as Ai Xu Bing Yu Ben Yu? No wonder he can rub it on the ground!"

"No, no, this won't work..."

Wang Chen's hand slid and he moved the Wind Erosion Sword to the intersection of the frozen tree face and the four petals. Although there was also that kind of solid ice in these places, it was very thin, and it was indeed much easier to erode.

After cutting off four petals and two arms, Wang Chen pushed the Wind Erosion Sword towards the Frozen Tree's 'neck' as it began to wake up. After half of the Wind Erosion Sword had penetrated into it, the Frozen Tree was about to raise its head. He quickly retreated to a safe distance, and his mind loosened its control over the Fire Wind Erosion Sword layer by layer from the inside out.

With a dull explosion, the frozen tree, which was about to raise its head, had its neck blown off in half. Not only that, it also found that it was bald.

From its roots upwards, all that was left was a bald vine-like body and a face that was hanging down from the broken end due to being too heavy.

"What a strong boy!" Ryan shouted while hiding behind a rock.

"I didn't want to! Its face is too hard, and it just happens to block the vital points at the root!"

The Frost Tree straightened its body and made a gesture as if it was howling towards the sky, but it had no vocal organs, and the "hands" that should have been raised up were gone, and its face was also tilted, which looked a bit funny.

Its face was as uncertain as a light bulb with poor contact, and finally it lit up brightly, spraying a huge amount of ice elements into the sky. With the sound of bingbing, it turned into a visible pillar of light that fell from the sky, condensed into icicles around Wang Chen, and then exploded, covering the ground with a decelerating frost.

Although Wang Chen dodged in time and was not hit directly, the high frequency + range attack still reduced his movement speed.

The Frost Tree completely treated itself as a whip and lashed at Wang Chen. Fortunately, its size was reduced and its attack range was also reduced, so Wang Chen dodged it several times.

"Something's wrong. Why isn't the unstable energy condensed in the corolla?"

Moreover, his body was getting colder and colder, and his movements were getting slower and slower. This slowdown seemed to be endless. Wang Chen quickly opened his elemental vision and saw streams of ice elements gushing out from the broken neck of the frozen tree.

Obviously it's not that it doesn't want to gather energy, but it's leaking...

The ice element seemed endless and had increased the elemental concentration of the entire venue.

"We can't delay any longer... If this energy is drawn from the earth veins, it must be endless. If this goes on, I will freeze to death!"

The energy flow of the Frost Tree was blocked, and it had gone completely crazy. It swung its big face towards Wang Chen with all its might, and its attack frequency increased greatly, without using any fancy skills.

However, the big hole at the root is also exposed.

"I can do it. I just need to put the Wind Erosion Sword into the pit like I did with the Proto-Core before."

The second wind-eroded sword took shape, and Wang Chen moved forward towards the attack of the quick-frozen tree, dodging to the left and to the right.

With a snap, he was pinned down by the Frost Tree's convulsive attack.

"ah!"

Paimon in the distance raised his hands to his mouth and exclaimed.
