Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

(4000 words, two chapters in one)

This battle is no longer a simple attack and defense, but an exchange of spirit and will.

They could both feel their own progress and growth, and this experience made both of them feel extremely excited and satisfied.

However, at the end of the battle, Su Xun still had the upper hand. Although Tartaglia tried his best and even mobilized the demon king's armed forces, his strength still did not reach the level of an immortal.

But Su Xun was different. Not only had he truly reached the immortal level in cultivation, he had also elevated several ordinary skills to extraordinary levels in just a few days.

Therefore, after he displayed various artistic conceptions, Tartaglia's defeat was a foregone conclusion.

"boom!"

Suddenly bearing Su Xun's heavy blow as heavy as a mountain, Tartaglia's body retreated uncontrollably, and his boots rubbed against the ground, creating a bright spark.

Half-kneeling on the ground, the Demon King armor on Tartaglia had also dissipated and disintegrated. This was because his mastery of this ability was not mature enough, and the burden was too heavy for him to maintain for too long.

"Huh~ha——my friend, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. This really surprises me, haha!"

Tartaglia was breathing heavily, but his eyes were full of excitement.

He hasn't encountered such a powerful opponent for a long time!

Su Xun smiled faintly, "You are also very good, it is also the first time for me to fight so happily!"

He looked at Tartaglia who had already landed in front of the Immortal Ancestor Fa Tui, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

After enduring my attack, he took the opportunity to get closer to that place, and then distracted me by talking to me in order to seize the Heart of God?

Su Xun understood it in his heart, but he kept his expression unchanged, pretending not to know, and even wanted to laugh in his heart.

"Hahaha, you're very much my type. If it weren't for this moment, maybe we could sit down and talk and be real friends."

Before Tartaglia finished his words, he quickly turned around and rushed towards the Immortal Ancestor Fa Tu, then he broke through the protective shield with a punch and stretched out his hand to take the Heart of God.

The young master obviously wanted to get the Heart of God quickly before Su Xun could react.

But he was obviously overthinking it. Su Xun had no intention of stopping him. He just watched Tartaglia's actions quietly with a smile in his eyes.

Just like in the plot, the young master did not obtain the Heart of God during the Immortal Ancestor's transformation.

"There isn't any?!" Tartaglia's expression suddenly changed, his eyes full of surprise and doubt.

His mind moved, and then he turned and looked at Su Xun.

Seeing the smile on Su Xun's face, Tartaglia frowned slightly, then was relieved, "So that's how it is, you are the one who got there first?"

"Ha~ You are wrong. As a citizen of Liyue and a disciple of the Immortal Family, how dare I offend the Immortal Ancestor's Fa Mei? This is a matter of great disrespect." Su Xun shrugged.

Don’t dare to offend the Immortal Ancestor’s transformation?

The young master raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Then why did you just watch me act without stopping me?"

He frowned and did not believe what Su Xun said, "Are you determined to go against us, the Fatui?"

"Haha, what you said is really funny. This is Liyue, and you Fatui are just guests.

The guests do not follow the rules and act recklessly in the host's home. After being stopped, they accuse the host of being against them. What kind of logic is this?" Su Xun sneered.

He had no good feelings towards the Young Master. Although he had enjoyed fighting with him just now, it was purely to test his own strength.

The disciples of Liyue Immortal Clan and the Winter Faints have different positions and have nothing in common.

"You..." The young master was a little annoyed, but speechless. Su Xun was right. It was them, the fools, who coveted the heart of God first. What was wrong with others trying to stop them?

So, he hates this kind of tricks the most, and being straightforward is more to his liking.

But he couldn't beat Su Xun... The young master felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

But at this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps came from outside, which made the two of them feel moved.

Tartaglia frowned slightly. Could it be that the Seven Stars of Liyue discovered that something happened in the Golden House and sent people to check it out?

Before he could think more, the person's appearance dispelled his doubts.

"Master, you are here indeed! Uh, and Su Xun? Why are you here too?!" The ones who came were the travelers Ying and Paimeng.

After discovering Su Xun and the Young Master, Paimon shouted in surprise.

"Ying, and Paimon." Su Xun smiled gently and nodded.

The appearance of Ying and Paimon broke the silence in the scene. Master Tartaglia's gaze swept over Ying and Paimon with scrutiny in his eyes.

Yingmei was also a little surprised, but then she thought about it and knew that Su Xun must be keeping an eye on the young master's whereabouts at all times, so she was not too surprised that Su Xun would appear here.

She nodded to Su Xun, then looked at the young master with cold eyes: "How did you know this place?"

Seeing Yingmei's look, the young master smiled helplessly: "Where should I start? Taking a long detour is not my style, but who would have thought that once we arrived in Liyue, the God of Rock died mysteriously, and the Immortal Ancestor's transformation was hidden away."

"If I hadn't gotten some information from you during the ceremony of sending the immortals, I'm afraid it would have been even more troublesome."

"So you got the Heart of God?" Ying's face was cold. Although she had heard Su Xun's analysis that the young master approached her for the Heart of God, she was still angry that the young master used her to obtain information.

"Traveler, didn't you deliberately leak the information about the Golden House to me? The Heart of God must have been hidden by this friend a long time ago? Now that things have come to this, there is no need to tease me anymore." The young master said with a wry smile.

"You didn't get the Heart of God?" After hearing the young master's answer, Yingmei was slightly stunned, then looked at Su Xun.

"Is it really you who hid?"

"I didn't get the Heart of God either. He always said that I got it." Su Xun spread his hands in confusion.

"Hmm?" The young master looked at the expressions of the two men. It seemed that the Heart of God was really not in their hands, and he became suspicious.

"Since the Heart of God was not taken away by anyone, could it be that... it was not in the Immortal Ancestor's Transformation from the very beginning? Thinking further, could the Immortal Ancestor's Transformation itself be just a sleight of hand?" The young master murmured to himself.

Everyone looked at him upon hearing the voice.

Paimon: "Hey! Sir, what are you mumbling about?"

The young master ignored Paimon and continued his analysis.

"If that's the case, haha... that's really interesting. As expected of the patron saint of the commercial capital, he is also very proficient in small tricks outside of contracts."

"Ying, he is so rude!" Seeing that the young master ignored him, Paimeng hugged Ying's arm somewhat aggrievedly.

Ying touched Paimeng's head helplessly, signaling her not to worry about it.

The young master came back to his senses, raised his head, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "In this case, we can only activate the backup plan."

"Backup plan? What do you want to do?" Yingmei frowned and asked immediately.

"I didn't want to use this plan because it would affect the weak. After all, the world belongs to those of us who pursue becoming stronger. I usually don't want to pay attention to boring and weak people.

But as an executive officer of the Fatui, I cannot be picky about the means, just like a child sometimes has to learn to eat carrots that he doesn't like. "The young master smiled.

Paimon was a little nervous: "So...what exactly do you want to do?"

"Heh." The young master looked at Yingmei and Paimeng for a few times, then looked at Su Xun and said with a smile: "My friend, I admire your strength very much. I really can't deal with you, but I wonder how you will deal with the next powerful enemy?"

"Oh? What powerful enemy?" Su Xun asked with a polite smile.

"The Demon of the Whirlpool, Osel!"

"Demon God?!" Ying and Paimon were very shocked. They had been in Liyue for some time and they had also heard the legend of the Demon God War thousands of years ago.

I heard that demons are extremely terrifying beings who can destroy mountains and rivers at any time. Now, Young Master actually wants to awaken the demon? Is he crazy or just wishful thinking?

"This Whirlpool Demon was defeated by the Rock Demon Morax during the Demon War and was suppressed in the sea by the Rock Spear. If a former Demon God were to attack Liyue Harbor without the protection of a god..."

"Do you think that Lord Rock King, who has tricked us all, can still hide aside and watch the show?" The young master sneered.

Paimon listened to what the young master said, and he also felt worried and scared. He asked in disbelief:

“But…but, the Demon God War ended two thousand years ago! Today, there are only seven gods in the world. How are you going to…”

"Of course, the means to awaken him have been prepared." As he spoke, the young master summoned a bunch of talismans with no taboos and surrounded him.

Paimeng's eyes widened in surprise, "Ah! That's the Scroll of No Taboos!"

"I... I remember! Su Xun, we found that the Fatui were studying it! There are so many of these talismans there!" Paimon quickly reminded Su Xun.

Yingmei also nodded solemnly: "I have seen the research site with my own eyes. They are trying to copy the Hundred Unrestricted Taboos Talisman."

"Really?" Su Xun looked at the young master, frowning slightly, "How dare you fools be so bold as to attempt to study the immortal talismans. This is simply unforgivable!"

"Hahaha, my friend, don't be so naive at a time like this. We have different positions. Immortals are not some sacred and inviolable existence to us fools. As long as it is beneficial to us, we should naturally maximize its value!" The young master sneered.

"It seems that you, the Fatui, have already had this plan." Su Xun narrowed his eyes.

"However, since you already know that our Emperor is not dead, you still dare to release the demon god. Aren't you afraid of angering the Emperor? If that happens, the two countries will go to war, which is not something you can afford."

Hearing this, the young master spread his hands.

"Originally, for me, having come to this point, using the power of the ancient demon god is already boring and does not conform to my creed."

"But it's quite interesting to think that not only the Rock God but also you guys have to deal with this."

"As for the problem you mentioned, haha, this is a plan that is allowed by our Queen, so there is naturally no need to worry too much."

The young master looked indifferent.

"Then you are sure you can awaken the demon before I capture you?" Su Xun took a few steps forward.

"Oh? My friend, are you going to stop me? Unfortunately, it's too late." The young master smiled cunningly.

He had just been talking to a few people in order to delay time. Now that the time had come, there was naturally no need to waste any more time talking nonsense.

As the young master activated the Hundred Taboos Talismans around his body, a huge magic circle rose into the sky, followed by a violent energy fluctuation.

Neither Ying nor Su Xun had time to stop it.

Of course, Su Xun deliberately did not stop it. After all, everything was going according to Zhongli's plan.

Following the young master's actions, the sky quickly darkened, wind and rain came, and a huge figure began to move under the sea of ​​Guyun Pavilion.

"Let's wait and see. Will the country that has lost its gods be swallowed up again by ancient malice?"

“However, if you also want to drown with the people of Liyue, then I wish you have a good time!” The young master laughed and prepared to run out.

Unexpectedly, Su Xun flashed and appeared in front of him with a half-smile on his face.

"Uh..." The young master's face froze. He didn't expect Su Xun to be so fast. He didn't show it during the battle just now.

"Ha...ha, my friend, as a disciple of the Immortal Family, why don't you go and rescue the people of Liyue in this critical moment?"

"Don't worry about what I do, but before that, you should take care of yourself first!"

"You...what do you want to do?!" Tartaglia's heart tightened.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I just want to gently touch you with my fist." Su Xun said softly.

"what?"

Su Xun flashed and appeared in front of Tartaglia.

The next second—

"Ah! Pfft--cough cough!"

"I was wrong, don't hit me in the face!"

"Ugh! My legs!"

"Puff! Hiss~ My waist!"

Inside the Golden House, Ying and Paimon looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched Tartaglia being severely beaten by Su Xun.

Then both of them smiled and felt relieved.

After a moment, Su Xun stopped what he was doing, looked at Tartaglia, who was lying on the ground with a bruised face, and snorted coldly.

"This is just a small punishment. Next, I will hand you over to the Seven Stars, and they will make their own judgment on your crime."

Tartaglia covered the painful part of his body and responded with a wry smile: "Hiss~ha...Okay, I admit defeat this time. You can do whatever you want with me."

Ying and Paimon came over, with a bit of anxiety in Ying's eyes: "Su Xun, what should we do? The situation outside is not good now, and the demon god Osel seems to have really revived."

The dark clouds in the sky grew thicker, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.

Su Xun dusted himself off and said, "Don't worry, with Emperor Yan Wang here, nothing will happen to Liyue.

What we need to do now is to return to Liyue Harbor, find the Seven Stars in the Jade Pavilion, ask them what countermeasures they have and offer them help. "

Ying nodded: "Then let's act quickly. We can't let the people of Liyue be threatened by the demon god."
