Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

A week after the Hundred Days Banquet.

The morning light shines through the thin mist of Lujing Spring, casting a light golden hue on the glazed window frames of Momang Palace.

Su Xun stood beside Funina's desk, his fingertips gently brushing over the icing sugar on the ends of her hair. The sweet aroma intertwined with the scent of morning dew tea, quietly awakening a rhythm that had been dormant in his body for a long time.

The vortex stirred by the teaspoon in the cup gradually subsided. Funina was about to complain about the excessive sugar content while holding a raspberry tart in her mouth, when she suddenly noticed a tiny silver glow in the depths of Su Xun's pupils.

The temperature of his palm was a little hotter than usual, and even the illusory orb on her wrist began to glow faintly.

"Su Xun?" Fu Nina swallowed her snack and poked his suddenly frozen arm with her fingertips. "What's wrong with you?"

Su Xun suddenly came back to his senses and found that the speed of the Taiwei Xuanyuan Zhen Jue in his body was more than ten times faster.

Ripples suddenly appeared on the mirror surface, and Fucaros tapped the water with her bare feet. Her long silver-blue hair shone like star sand in the morning light.

She held her chin up to look at the mysterious patterns on Su Xun's body, and raised her lips thoughtfully: "Is this a breakthrough?"

"breakthrough?"

Funina stared blankly at the silver-white lines gradually solidifying around Su Xun's body, her fingertips unconsciously grasping the edge of the tablecloth.

Those mysterious symbols were like vines growing out of the void, climbing along his wrists towards his neck.

Fucaros stepped barefoot across the mirror, and ripples formed fine waves in the teacup.

She leaned over to whisper in Su Xun's ear, and the starlight pendant hanging from her hair gently touched his shoulder: "The body of an immortal cannot bear this level of energy surge."

The fragrant breath brushed across the young man's hot skin, making the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.

“Could you please not get so close to me suddenly?” Su Xun smiled bitterly and leaned back, the true energy in his body boiling uncontrollably.

The circulation of the universe constructed by the Taiwei Xuanyuan Zhenjue is collapsing and reorganizing, and each acupoint seems to be stuffed into a burning star core.

Finina hurriedly supported his staggering body, and the cloth that her palms touched was already soaked with cold sweat.

Thousands of water-shaped characters suddenly appeared in the mirror, and Fukaros hooked a strand of golden energy with his fingertips: "Your situation reminds me of the scene when Lady Egolia merged the water of the original fetal sea."

She wrapped the silk thread around the edge of the glass cup, forming a delicate bow. "Would you like to try Fontaine's unique breakthrough ritual?"

At the same time, the surface of the Lujing Spring in front of the Opikley Opera House suddenly glowed with indigo fluorescence, and the ancient runes sleeping at the bottom of the spring were awakened by some force.

Funina was surprised to find that the originally calm water elemental force around her was like a school of fish disturbed by the moonlight, weaving a flowing cocoon around Su Xun.

The dome of Mo Mang Palace cast mottled light and shadows, enveloping the three people in a light blue energy field.

"Hold your breath and concentrate." Fucaros' tone was unusually serious. She tapped her bare feet in the air, and her long silver-blue hair moved without wind.

Countless water-shaped runes emerged from the mirror, forming a ring-shaped structure behind Su Xun that resembled the Cardinal of Oracle. "Put your consciousness deep into the sea of ​​​​consciousness and meditate."

Su Xun's vision was suddenly pulled into the deep sea, and a long sound like an ancient whale song came to his ears.

He saw the first generation water god insert the scepter into the fetal sea. At the moment when the pure water elves turned into human form, the trajectory of the original fetal sea water rushing in their blood vessels was surprisingly similar to the operation of the meridians.

A resonance that transcends time and space vibrates in the chest, and broken fragments of memory float up like bubbles.

Fucaros held his trembling hand tightly and found that the silver light flowing in the young man's eyes was eroding the dark brown of his pupils.

She suddenly remembered the trembling she felt when she first touched the throne five hundred years ago. The fear of being swallowed by the grand existence was so similar to the present moment.

The water level of Lujing Spring began to rise and fall strangely, and the panicked footsteps of Meilushin and others were heard in the corridor of Momang Palace.

"Don't be distracted." Fukaros' voice penetrated the humming of the energy field. She touched Su Xun's forehead with her fingertips and injected a wisp of rhythmic energy into his raging meridians. "Imagine that you are watching the tide in Liyue Harbor. The rhythm of the waves hitting the shore is your breathing."

The mirror conjured up a scene of Grandma Ping teaching young Su Xun to practice sword. The light sound of ginkgo leaves falling on the wooden sword matched perfectly with the sound of the tide.

Su Xun suddenly grabbed Funina's wrist, and the girl god's body temperature became the coordinate anchoring reality.

He saw himself when he was eight years old and his master Grandma Ping brought him into the Chen Ge Pot for the first time. The starlight flowing in the cave in the pot gradually overlapped with the energy tide in his body at this moment.

The torrent of true energy suddenly found a breakthrough and rushed along the water veins constructed by Fucaros.

The glazed tiles on the dome of the Mo Mang Palace vibrated crisply, and Navilette, who was processing official documents, paused with his pen.

The Supreme Judge raised his head and looked in the direction of the Lujing Spring, which was shining with rainbow light. The dragon horns hidden in his hair felt faintly hot.

He put down his feather pen, and a trace of confusion flashed in his gilded eyes - why did the fluctuations in the water bring back memories of the Dragon King's transformation in ancient times?

Su Xun's sleeves suddenly moved without wind, and the Liyue Immortal Family's talismans and the Fontaine water-shaped characters merged into a whole new pattern around his body.

Finina's exclamation was stuck in her throat. She saw that the ends of the young man's hair were fading from black, and a kind of otherworldly aura was oozing out from every pore.

A strange scene suddenly emerged in the air - Su Xun's shadow sometimes turned into an immortal with a gun, sometimes turned into a scholar holding a book, and finally froze into a vague outline as deep as the starry sky.

Fucaros suddenly removed all energy constraints, and the mirror shattered into thousands of light points.

Su Xun clenched his hands suddenly, and the surging energy in his body calmed down. Some kind of power derived from the essence of the world was awakening deep in his blood.

The rainbow light on the dome of Mo Mang Palace gradually faded, and the energy ripples floating in the air calmed down.

The silver-white lines flowing around Su Xun's body disappeared into his skin like the receding tide. Only a few strands of frost remaining at the ends of his hair indicated the change that had just occurred.

Finina held his wrist tightly and didn't dare to let go until she was sure that the young man's pupils had refocused, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"You...scare me to death!" She grabbed the raspberry tart with the icing still on it and threw it at Su Xun, but it was caught steadily by Fucaros's water-shaped hand halfway.

The reflection in the mirror laughed cheerfully: "It seems that our breakthrough ritual is effective."

Fukaros walked closer barefoot in the void, and the star sand from her silver-blue hair fell on Su Xun's shoulders, turning into tiny dots of light and dissipating. "But it's still a little short of true transformation - just like an oven that suddenly goes out while baking soufflé."

Su Xun smiled bitterly and moved his numb fingertips. The Taiwei Xuanyuan Zhen Jue was flowing unusually sluggishly in his meridians.

He could clearly sense the existence of some kind of shackles, just like the mist that lingered outside Liyue Harbor all year round, clearly within reach yet yet out of reach.

“So just now…”

"It's the water of the fetal sea that is responding to your breath." A translucent water ball condensed on Fukaros' fingertips, in which a spiral light pattern similar to a DNA chain floated. "When Lady Egolia created the Fontaine people, she wove the power of the original fetal sea into such a life vein. And the trajectory of your practice..."

The water ball suddenly exploded into thousands of light points, outlining a star map of the celestial cycle in the sky, "creating a wonderful resonance with the tides of the fetal sea."

Suddenly there was a regular knocking sound outside the door.

Finina pushed open the door and met the doubt in Villette's gilded eyes.

The Supreme Inquisitor held a scepter inlaid with a water-shaped emblem, and there was a deep light in his eyes.

"Just now there was a violent energy fluctuation coming from here. What did you do?"
