Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

After the accident, Xu Ning's question went unanswered for a long time.

This put Xu Ning in a somewhat awkward position.

"What? Is this question difficult to answer?"

A voice suddenly came from an inconspicuous corner.

"Anyone who could potentially disrupt the peace and prosperity of Liyue is our enemy."

Xu Ning glanced over there and saw a girl who was as ordinary as could be in terms of appearance, figure, and clothing, standing there leaning against a tree.

"This familiar feeling... could it be that guy has infiltrated again?"

Xu Ning didn't bother to verify it, since it had nothing to do with him.

"That's right, but it's a bit narrow-minded. Our enemies are not just people, but also monsters, evil spirits, and even demon gods."

"We must nip any potential dangers in the bud before they manifest."

Upon hearing Xu Ning mention the Demon God, there was a slight commotion in the crowd, but it quickly subsided.

"You'll see for yourselves in the future."

Xu Ning sighed, wondering how many people would die in the end.

"Alright, enough chit-chat. Line up in a row. Hmm, forty people, let's make it into four... eight lines."

The teenagers were of very high quality, and it took almost no time for eight neat rows of students to appear in front of Xu Ning.

Pointing to the ordinary-looking girl leaning against the tree, Xu Ning instructed, "Go find a piece of wood and make eight tokens."

The girl seemed to be carrying a sharp weapon, and she carved out eight square tokens with almost no effort.

"Okay, let's carve some words on it as the names of your eight teams."

"Let me think about it," Xu Ning pondered for a moment, "How about we engrave these eight characters: 'Star Banner and Lightning Halberd' and 'Tiger Fang Stands Tall'?"

"Stars, banners, and lightning" describes the magnificent military appearance.

The tiger's teeth stand upright, signifying the steepness of the mountain.

Both words are quite fitting for the occasion.

Xu Ning originally wanted to be lazy and just use "a thousand cliffs are firm and the mountains are unmovable".

However, thinking about it, this is, after all, the will of the Thousand Rock Army that has been passed down for thousands of years. Our small group is still in its infancy, and using the slogan of the Thousand Rock Army as our name is just asking for trouble.

Xu Ning pointed to the eight tokens in front of him, "Eight people come out, each of you choose a token and take it away."

The little purple-haired girl was the first to step forward. She hesitated between the "Star" and "Electricity" tokens, and finally chose the "Star" token.

The "electricity" token was taken by a tall, thin boy wearing glasses.

Another young man in a tight-fitting outfit, with several pouches sewn around his waist, seemed to know the bespectacled young man. He greeted him and took the "flag" character from him.

The white-haired boy took the "halberd," and the girl with braided pigtails took the "tooth."

A short, stocky fellow shoved aside a boy carrying a bow and arrow, snatched the character "Tiger" from his hand, and chuckled.

The boy with the bow on his back glared at him and took the character "立" (lì).

"Then only 'Jie' is left. None of you chose it, but I quite like this character."

The girl, who was as ordinary as could be, chuckled.

"Alright, everyone with a token, please stand at the front of the line."

"From this day forward, you will be the captains of your five-person squads. I will not ask about your origins or names; the words in your hands are your names."

Xu Ning clapped his hands, just like a physical education teacher in his previous life, "Come on, let's start the first class today, everyone sit in a big circle."

Xu Ning stood outside the circle, and with a thought, entered the Hidden Dust Cave, emerging with a large wine jar in each hand.

"Here is a stack of bowls, one for each person, and after we drink the wine, we will start playing games."

Most people were stunned to find someone drinking at the Qianyan Army's garrison.

If the military judges saw this, they'd probably throw us all into the mining area and have us smashed with stones for half a month.

"Star" stood up and reminded him, "Instructor Xu, the first rule in the military is no drinking alcohol. Besides, we're here to receive your training."

"Tiger" had already happily run to Xu Ning's wine jar.

Upon suddenly hearing "Xing's" words, he looked at Xu Ning with a bitter expression.

Xu Ning smiled nonchalantly, reached out and pried open the stopper on the wine jar, releasing a rich aroma of wine.

"Of the forty of you, how many of you currently possess the Eye of God?"

"Not a single one? Then I'll have to explain things to you properly."

Xu Ning scooped out a bowl of wine and drank it first, then said, "I think many people know that those who have the Eye of God throughout history, regardless of how they use elemental power, are far superior to ordinary people in terms of physical strength alone."

"The reason for this is that the elemental power, through the Eye of God, entered their bodies and greatly modified and enhanced their various bodily functions, which is why they seemed to possess the power to split mountains and cleave peaks."

Xu Ning paused here, and seeing that everyone was listening attentively to what he had to say, he smiled and continued.

"But ordinary people without the Eye of God can never obtain a way to enter the body with this elemental power in their entire lives. After all, it is an extremely difficult and dangerous thing to harmlessly introduce the seven elemental powers into the body."

“But I am different.” Xu Ning shook the gourd in his hand.

"The elemental power I acquired is alcohol, so I am naturally capable of drinking it."

"While I can't make you like those who truly possess the Eye of God, whose bodies are almost constantly cleansed by elemental power, I can at least expand your potential to some extent."

"Since the coach has said so, what are we waiting for?"

"Tiger" couldn't wait any longer and scooped a bowlful from the wine jar, then gulped it down.

After finishing his drink, he smacked his lips and said, "It's pretty good, but it's not strong enough."

Xu Ning pointed to the people around him, "There are quite a few people here who have never drunk alcohol before, including girls. Let's take it one step at a time. I have plenty of strong liquor here."

"But since you drank my wine first, let's play the first game."

Looking at the somewhat apprehensive "Tiger," Xu Ning smiled and said, "Our first game is called 'Beat Up the Hilichurls.'"

Xu Ning, holding a thick wooden stick he had casually broken off from a tree, smiled at "Tiger," who was already wearing steel claw gloves, and said, "Ready? If you are, the Hilichurls are about to attack."

"Tiger" brandished its claws and assumed a fighting stance, licking its lips as it said, "Come on!"

Xu Ning imitated the Hilichurl's pose, jumped twice, and shouted "YA!"

Many girls laughed.

However, Xu Ning immediately charged towards the "tiger" while brandishing a wooden stick.

The wooden sticks were crisscrossed and swung wildly in front of him, but the angle of each strike changed slightly, creating a feeling of impenetrability.

Tiger didn't expect Xu Ning to advance so fast. He gritted his teeth and swung his left claw to block a blow from the stick.

Unexpectedly, the force generated by the wooden stick was also strange, and it managed to deflect his steel claws with a single blow, before striking his right shoulder with another blow.

"Tiger" let out a miserable cry and was knocked to the ground.

Xu Ning laughed and shouted "Kucha!" before launching a leaping attack at the fallen "Tiger."

Tiger was terrified. This attack might kill me. Is a bowl of wine such a huge price to pay?
