Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

Withdrawing his divine sense, Lan Tian slowly opened his eyes and realized it was already late at night.

After resting for a while and suppressing his strength to the level of an ordinary person, Lan Tian took out two swords that were a bit heavy for him now, and began to ponder the problem while swinging the swords:

Although the Asura Sword God technique I just used wasn't imbued with any elemental power, I could clearly sense that it didn't resonate with the water element. Even if it were imbued with water, the increase in the Asura Sword God's power would be very limited.

Thinking about this, Lan Tian recalled that a while ago he had summoned a Shura Sword God with water elemental enchantment to test its power on a nearby mountain. The result was that the power was only 10% stronger than the original Shura Sword God.

[Since the Asura Sword God technique is unsuitable, I need to develop a new wide-range attack; otherwise, I'll be at a significant disadvantage when facing attacks from multiple demons during the Demon God War.]

Currently, I only possess the power of the water element, and I can feel a portion of the unique radiance of the water element shining forth in my divine heart.

Thinking of this, Lan Tian planted the sword in his right hand into the ground, stretched out his hand, and the Divine Heart within him immediately appeared in his hand.

It is clear that on the Asura God's Heart, which was originally decorated with starry blue and white, the area below the sword has seven elemental symbols, dividing the God's Heart into two areas, the upper part and the lower part. In the area below the God's Heart, the elemental symbol that belongs to the water element has lit up with a light blue light, while the rest of the area, including the sword above, is a dull gray.

After examining it carefully for a while, Lan Tian put away the Heart of God and continued practicing his swordsmanship. At the same time, he began to utilize the water element, developing his own unique elemental combat skills. Meanwhile, he continued to think to himself:

[From the perspective of the Heart of God, I should be able to use seven elemental forces later on, which means I will have seven sets of elemental weaponry and armor. But how do I activate the other elemental forces? It doesn't seem as easy as activating the water element when I interacted with Fukaros.]

For Blue Sky, Fukalos's situation was merely an accident.

The two swords I have now are perfectly suited to the water element; shouldn't I give them names? The armor I constructed before is the same; what should I name it?

Unbeknownst to him, as he continuously swung his sword and practiced elemental combat techniques under the blue sky, time slipped away, and several days later, it was dawn.

As dawn broke, the nearby villages began to bustle with activity, but Lantian's attention was elsewhere.

After wiping away his sweat, Lantian constructed several sturdy ironwood trunks around him and then began to adjust them in place.

A few minutes later, Lan Tian began to unleash elemental combat skills.

"Swift Flow Slash!"

Ripples appeared on the blue sky's twin blades. He bent down slightly, briefly gathered his strength, and then quickly rotated himself, causing the two blades to spin rapidly, creating streaks of light blue sword flowers.

shhhhhh!

After spinning around several times, Lantian's figure finally stopped and turned to look at the surrounding tree trunks.

"The sword mark is too shallow, and it only spun four and a half times just now."

Lan Tian pondered his self-evaluation, then looked at the tree trunk behind him where a cleaver was stuck.

"Even more fatal is that a cleaver has slipped out of his hand and is stuck in a tree trunk. In actual combat, it is easy to accidentally injure his own people or himself. At the same time, it will also lead to an unnecessary decrease in his own combat effectiveness."

In short, it boils down to one sentence: You still need to practice!

Lan Tian clenched his fist slightly in the hand that had lost its sword, snapped his fingers, restored the surrounding tree trunks, removed the sword that was still stuck in the tree, and began to continue practicing his elemental combat skills.

Half a month passed quickly.

This time, Lan Tian's combat skills successfully met the standards he had set for himself.

After rotating five times, ten sword marks with an average depth of thirty centimeters were left on each tree trunk, and Lan Tian nodded in satisfaction.

Keep in mind that his current strength is equivalent to that of an ordinary person.

"That's about enough. Next, we should practice the combat technique 'Water Blast Flying Blade'."

Lan Tian muttered to himself as he dissected the surrounding tree trunks, put away his sword, and began setting up the training ground.

Lan Tian placed three ironwood tree trunks on the ground to his right, six meters away from himself. Then he moved to the left and placed a slatted wall as an obstacle. He placed a stone in front of the wall as a stepping stone and three tree trunks behind it.

The former simulates throwing a short sword while moving at high speed in an open area, while the latter simulates throwing a short sword in the air.

After doing all this, Lantian returned to the spot where he had set up the venue.

at the same time.

Many of the citizens, sitting in the shade of a tree not far away, watching the blue sky as the venue was being set up, suddenly felt a little confused and began to discuss among themselves:

"What do you think Lord Shura is up to this time? Why has he prepared so much stuff?"

"I don't know, Lord Shura must have his reasons for doing this!"

"I don't know either. If it's just now, I know. Last time, someone asked Lord Shura what he was doing, and Lord Shura replied that he was honing his martial arts and improving his strength. But I don't know about this time."

"I think we should stop discussing this and just wait and see what Lord Shura does next."

"Look, Lord Asura has moved!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quieted down and looked towards the blue sky.

Under the watchful eyes of his subjects, Lan Tian swiftly charged forward, using his water elemental power to condense three short swords.

Upon reaching the designated location, Lan Tian threw the short sword in his right hand at the three tree trunks on the right, and then quickly changed direction with a drift without looking back, while maintaining the same speed.

Upon reaching the stone, Lan Tian stepped on it and leaped into the air, throwing the three short swords that had materialized in his left hand at the three tree trunks behind the wall.

After doing all this, Lan Tian landed, rolled, and quickly stood up.

The moment Lan Tian stood still marked the end of this training session.

"Good! Good! Good!"

The people watching from the sidelines stood up and applauded after witnessing Lan Tian's fluid and graceful movements.

Upon hearing this, Lan Tian turned to face his subjects with a faint smile in response, then turned back, frowning as he pondered the training session that had just taken place:

Two of the short swords on the right are off-center, and two on the left are off-center, one of which misses completely. Also, the jump height is a bit too low...

Thinking this, Lan Tian walked back to where he had started running, and snapped his fingers to restore the surrounding training ground to its original state, preparing to train again.

……

Soon, five years had passed in the blink of an eye.

They were still on that beach...

"Go for it, Lord Shura!"

"God of War! God of War! God of War!"

"Cut them down! Lord War God!"

"Lord Shura..."

Because Lan Tian constantly hones his martial arts skills on this beach day and night, the villagers from nearby villages come to watch him practice his swordplay or train his flexibility, elemental combat skills, and elemental bursts whenever they have free time.

So now, almost all the citizens have come to watch Lantian's last training session.

At this moment, Lan Tian was setting up the venue for his final comprehensive training session, and the enthusiastic voices of the people outside the venue cheering him on could be heard constantly.

Lan Tian smiled slightly and waved in response to his people, which excited them so much that they shouted even more enthusiastically.

But at this very moment…

"Roelseus, keep it up!"

"Go, Brother Blue Sky!"

Two ethereal female voices, distinctly different from those of ordinary people, entered Lan Tian's ears.

Upon hearing this, Lan Tian turned his head in disbelief to look at the sea beside him, where he saw Egolia and Fukaros, who had already taken human form, sitting elegantly on the water not far away, smiling at Lan Tian.

"I will."

Lan Tian smiled, nodded solemnly, and then turned back to continue setting up the venue.

The training ground was quickly set up.

Lan Tian still suppressed his strength to the level of an ordinary person, while changing into the Rapids Armor, holding the Oath of Pure Water, and stood at the starting point of the training ground, ready for battle.

The Torrent Armor, also known as the light blue armor that Blue Sky constructed recently, was named by Blue Sky and Fukaros together. The Oath of Pure Water refers to the two light blue swords in Blue Sky's hands.

After a short wait, the blue sky moved.

Swish!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lan Tian instantly rushed towards the center of the field.

shhhhhh!

Three wooden stakes flew towards the blue sky one after another.

Lan Tian's expression hardened upon seeing this. He quickly swung his knife, splitting all three wooden stakes in half. Then, he swiftly turned and threw five short swords behind him before continuing forward without looking back, silently calculating the time in his mind.

Behind them, five wooden stakes that had just emerged were struck by the short sword, all hitting the center.

At that moment, Lantian's voice rang out:

"Water Burst Sword, Break!"

boom!

Five streams of water appeared, blasting the wooden stake into pieces.

"Great! Excellent!"

"fantastic!"

The people outside the venue were all amazed by Lan Tian's actions and cheered!

Swish swish!

Lan Tian moved quickly, throwing three and four short swords to either side, before sliding through a narrow opening.

After a somersault, he stood up and delivered a powerful blow, splitting the tree stump in front of him into four pieces.

At the same time, the short swords behind them also detonated when the time came, blooming into water element fireworks against the blue sky.

After doing all this, Lan Tian made no move, but instead went into a defensive stance.

While everyone was still wondering, a wooden spear suddenly appeared in front of Lan Tian and flew rapidly toward his face. Everyone's hearts tightened at the sight, but Lan Tian just smiled slightly and then swung his sword to cut the wooden spear that was almost in front of him in half. The two halves of the wooden spear that Lan Tian split off grazed his cheek and stuck into the wall behind him.

Before everyone could even gasp in surprise, a dense array of wooden spears appeared in front of Lan Tian, ​​instantly plunging everyone into tension once more. But Lan Tian simply smiled dismissively at this.

"That's it?"

To everyone's astonishment, Lan Tian advanced instead of retreating, rapidly wielding his sword to meet the wooden spear.

In just one minute, with Lan Tian's lightning-fast sword swings, so fast that afterimages could be seen, every wooden spear was either cleaved in two by Lan Tian, ​​blocked by him, or bounced off onto a nearby wooden stake.

What's even more astonishing is that while parrying the wooden spear, Lan Tian was still able to free up a hand to chop a nearby wooden stake in half.

That's an incredibly fast reaction time.

clang!

As the last wooden spear was deflected by Lantian's Oath of Pure Water against a nearby tree stump, this long-range strike and parry training session came to an end.

When the crowd outside the venue saw that Lan Tian was alright, they all spontaneously applauded for him, repeatedly saying "Good!"

Meanwhile, Ergolia and Fukaros stared at Lantian's figure with their mouths agape in shock. Lantian had suppressed his strength to the level of an ordinary person!

After parrying the last wooden spear, Lan Tian did not stop for a moment and continued to rush forward quickly.

After a somersault over a low wall, a tall wooden wall now appears before the blue sky.

The front of the wall was covered with a dense array of wooden stakes, while at the highest point of the wall stood a stake that was taller and thicker than the others.

This is a simulation of encountering a large monster and a group of smaller monsters, with the tall, thick wooden stake representing the head of the large monster.

After gaining a firm footing, Lan Tian unleashed an elemental combat skill directly at the densely packed wooden stakes in front of him.

"Swift Flow Slash!"

Blue Sky spun around, wielding the Oath of Pure Water, transforming into a deadly water elemental tornado that sliced ​​the densely packed wooden stakes in front of it into several pieces, instantly clearing out an area.

After clearing away the surrounding wooden stakes, Lan Tian replaced the Oath of Pure Water on his left hand with a grappling hook and hurled it toward a corner of the high wall.

After the grappling hook hit the target, Lan Tian's body was also pulled towards the high wall.

But at that moment, two tree trunks appeared simultaneously from the left and right sides in front of Lantian and crashed down in the direction Lantian was moving.

This is simulating an attack by a large monster, and the two tree trunks represent the monster's two arms.

Seeing this, Lan Tian quickly retracted his grappling hook and used the reaction force generated by the hook's retraction to spin himself. At the same time, the Oath of Pure Water on his left hand reappeared the instant the hook returned to his body, and with Lan Tian's movement, it heavily slashed at the tree trunk on the left that was crashing down on Lan Tian, ​​instantly cutting it in two. But the tree trunk on the right also arrived in front of Lan Tian.

Lan Tian was not flustered. Instead, he stepped on the tree trunk that he had just cut in half while in mid-air, pushed off hard, and delivered a sideways downward slash to the tree trunk coming from the right, cutting it in two.

Then Lan Tian stepped on the half-broken tree trunk again and pushed off into the air, reaching a height even higher than the wooden stakes on the high wall.

Blue Sky replaced the Oath of Purification on his left hand with a grappling hook, but this time he hooked onto the thick wooden stake. At the same time, Blue Sky spun the Oath of Purification on his right hand and held it behind his back, preparing for the next attack.

Zheng!

With a flash of cold light, the tallest and thickest wooden stake was cleaved in two by Lan Tian's attack.

Not only that, the wall where the wooden stakes were placed was also affected by the attack from the blue sky, and most of the corner of the wall was forcibly cut off.

After delivering this fatal blow, Blue Sky used the momentum of landing to forcefully shove the Oath of Pure Water into the two wooden stakes beside him.

Then, Lan Tian looked up at a slope some distance ahead, smiled, and said softly:

"It's almost time to finish."
