……

Time comes the next day.

After yesterday's preliminary rounds, only a little over 500 participants remain.

Today's arena is divided into many small areas, and the rules are very simple: if you win, you advance; if you lose, you are not completely defeated and can choose to participate in the revival match.

However, the defender in the revival round is a little bit strong.

The opponents in the competition are completely randomized.

Due to the large number of participants, the first round of the competition will also be divided into many waves, just like the qualifiers.

Ying was assigned to the third wave, and her opponent was an Inazuma samurai whom Ying did not recognize.

Among those assigned to the first wave was Seno, whose opponent was a captain from the Thousand Rock Army.

Chapter 285 Qingxu VS Xingqiu

The west-side stands are reserved exclusively for Liyue's high-ranking officials and special guests, and are noticeably higher than the other stands.

The six stars of Liyue, Zhongli, Venti, and even Xianyun who had just come down from the mountain were all here. On Zhongli's table was a pot of tea, while Venti had dandelion wine brought from Mondstadt.

Between Zhongli and Wendy is a woman dressed in white.

Ningguang, sitting in the main seat, glanced over here from time to time. Zhongli had made so many moves that his identity was no longer a secret to Ningguang.

However, this was only known to Ningguang. To the others, Zhongli and the others were merely Ningguang's guests.

In Ningguang's opinion, the one sitting next to Zhongli and Wendy must be the Great Tree King of Sumeru...

……

The first wave of matches didn't feature any particularly exciting battles; the stronger players didn't even clash.

Ying and Paimon moved to the north-facing stands, where they could see Seno's game more clearly.

In the enclosed, small arena, Seno faced off against his opponent, a captain from the Thousand Rock Army.

This captain of the Thousand Rocks Army did not possess the Eye of God. Even though he was quite powerful, he still had no chance of defeating Cyno.

Perhaps because it was a competition in Liyue, Seno didn't defeat his opponent as soon as he stepped onto the stage, but instead sparred with him for a while before finally defeating him.

The captain of the Thousand Rock Army also sensed that Seno was deliberately holding back. He bowed deeply to Seno and then withdrew from the battlefield.

The difference in strength was too great; he had absolutely no chance of winning.

Soon the second round began, and this time the familiar face was D'Artagnan. His opponent was quite interesting; he was a debt collector from the Fools.

The debt collector's expression behind the mask was priceless when he realized his opponent was actually the executor.

"My lord, young master, I..."

"Come on, deserting in the face of battle is not the style of the Fools."

D'Artagnan assumed a fighting stance, without even using any weapons.

"Well, I'm sorry to offend you."

The debt collector concealed himself and rushed forward, and twenty seconds later, he was thrown out of the ring by Dadalia.

D'Artagnan shook his head. This level of battle didn't interest him at all. But he wasn't in a hurry. There were many experts participating in the ceremony this time, and he was sure to encounter some formidable opponents.

As he left the field, Dadalia nodded towards his sister in the stands.

Angie turned her head away speechlessly.

The third wave finally reached Ying.

Because Ying has many friends in every country, her competition received the most attention, even Wendy and Zhongli were watching.

However, her initial opponent was rather weak; a wandering samurai, whom Ying easily defeated.

Not only Ying, but even Chen Xiyao from the player world passed the test with ease.

This wandering samurai is no different from the one I encountered in Inazuma, except that his health bar is slightly higher.

One after another, the arena battles continued.

With Wendy, Zhongli, and the Great Tree King present, they will intervene when irreversible serious injury or life-threatening situations are imminent.

After all, this is just a friendly match, not a fight to the death.

Angel, Chaska, Fidele, Kaya, Rosalia, Kujo Sara, and others basically crushed their opponents to victory.

Just when Ying thought the first round was about over, the first interesting match finally appeared on the stage.

Mu Qingxu actually got into a fight with Xingqiu.

One is the younger sister of the previous Kaiyang Star and a newly accepted disciple of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun; the other is the successor of the Guhua Sect and the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. Both of them are also the Eye of the Water Element God.

When Ying saw the two fighting on the stage, she and Paimon immediately ran to other stands.

"Quick, Ying, a fight is about to break out over there!"

Paimon was so excited that he ran straight ahead, leaving Ying to keep up while smiling apologetically at the audience.

Qingxu's parents were also in the stands. Her father's once jet-black hair had turned quite a bit white over the past year, and her mother's face had wrinkles.

They had come specifically to watch their daughter's martial arts competition, and were quite worried when they saw that her opponent was Xingqiu, a young hero from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

Xingqiu and the others knew that he possessed the Divine Eye of Water Element, which was very powerful!

Although Qingxu had also been cultivating with the immortal for more than half a year, could he possibly defeat Xingqiu after only half a year of cultivation?

……

In the arena.

"Qingxu, I didn't expect us to be facing off so quickly."

"Please don't hold back, Brother Xingqiu."

Xingqiu was somewhat troubled; it was actually her!

Xingqiu's distress wasn't because the other person was a girl. Just kidding, girls aren't a synonym for weakness in Teyvat.

Look at the former Kaiyang and Yuheng stars; if they think they should hold back when dealing with girls, they're sorely mistaken. They'll probably be beaten to death very soon.

Xingqiu was troubled because the other party was younger than him, was the younger sister of the previous Kaiyang Star, and was also his friend.

If he could, he really wouldn't want to confront the other party.

Qingxu didn't expect to encounter Xingqiu in the first round. Although it was unexpected, it wasn't something that was impossible.

She took out the Chaoge Suiyu Ming she had just received from her master, twirled her spear, and assumed the starting stance her sister had taught her.

In the stands, Zhong Li and Wendy's pupils trembled almost imperceptibly.

Ruola learned a lot of her marksmanship from Qingge; her starting stance is exactly the same as Qingge's. Qingxu's marksmanship was basically taught by her older sister, so her starting stance is naturally the same as Qingge's.

Xingqiu also drew his longsword: "Xingqiu, disciple of the Guhua Sect, seeks your guidance!"

As soon as he uttered the words "I'd like to learn from you," Xingqiu flicked his left fingertips, quickly forming three rain curtain swords around his body. The rain curtain swords slowly circled around him, like a glass shield.

Qingxu stomped hard on the arena, holding the gun in one hand, and stepped forward with her right foot, sending waves of water forward that blocked Xingqiu's view.

Qingxu slightly rotated the spear tip with his right hand, and the spear tip, carrying the force of a tsunami, pierced straight into Xingqiu's face.

"clang--!"

Xingqiu parried with his sword, sliding backward four or five meters. As the spear tip collided with the sword, one of the Rain Curtain Swords surrounding Xingqiu shattered.

Qingxu lunged forward, unleashing a triple thrust so fast it was just a blur, and three splashes of water erupted from the ground as the spear followed.

While dodging Qingxu's spear, Xingqiu felt a sharp pain under his feet. He immediately leaped up and flipped over Qingxu to get behind him.

"Cutting away the rain, leaving behind the rainbow!" Xingqiu shouted softly, pointing his sword upwards.

A vast curtain of rain instantly condensed in the air, and these rain curtains quickly condensed into water swords. In an instant, hundreds of water swords hung in the air like stars.

Xingqiu pointed his longsword forward, and the water sword attacked Qingxu.

On the stands, Liu Yun was very anxious, craning his neck to see how his disciple would counter this move.

"Qianchao...Buried God's Bones!"

A ghostly blue phantom materialized behind Qingxu, and the scene fell silent for a moment, because the phantom behind Qingxu was actually Qingxu's sister who had died in battle at Cengyan!

The two sisters gripped their spears simultaneously, and in the instant their spears crossed, a colossal wave rose from the ground. The phantom spearheads and the solid spears tore through the rain curtain in sync, forcefully cleaving the torrent of sword rain in two!

"This girl..."

From the stands, Fidele watched this scene in astonishment.

Surprisingly... Qingge is also included?

Chapter 286 Finally Matched with a Strong Person

Amidst the deafening roar of crashing water, the entire arena was engulfed by the rising weapons.

As the steam dissipated, Xingqiu knelt, leaning on his sword, the Rain Curtain Sword shattered, panting heavily.

Upon seeing this, Qingxu quickly stepped forward and helped him up.

"Are you alright, Xingqiu-ge?"

Xingqiu shook his head slightly: "It's nothing..."

With that, he took a step back and bowed deeply, saying, "You are very strong. Xingqiu admits defeat!"

Xingqiu was stunned when Qingge's phantom appeared, but he quickly recovered and was still defeated.

Xingqiu gave Qingxu an appreciative look before leaving the arena.

Qingxu won this competition!

……

In the stands, Ying and Paimon clapped enthusiastically, happy for Qingxu's victory.

"Ying, did you see that? That phantom, that phantom is Qingge!"

Paimon was thrilled. Even though it was just an illusion, she saw Qingge once again!

Qingxu's parents were also applauding their daughter excitedly. Their eyes were red, filled with excitement and sadness at seeing their eldest daughter again.

That's wonderful, really wonderful, their two daughters are both amazing!

……

West side stands.

Zhongli took a small sip of tea, swallowed it, and nodded slightly.

The younger sister inherited her older sister's will... Qingxu's move shocked even him.

Zhongli turned his head and looked at Xianyun, who was sitting on the other side.

Xianyun clenched her fists in secret, cheering for her little disciple's victory. Suddenly, she noticed that the Emperor was looking at her. She was puzzled and looked over in confusion.

Zhong Li chuckled and looked away, turning her gaze back to the audience.

……

Qingxu was still somewhat incredulous when she stepped out of the arena; she had just...

When Xingqiu's sword rained down from the sky, she almost thought she was going to lose. But unexpectedly, this move she used on instinct actually helped her turn the tide.

Moreover, just a moment ago, she actually sensed her sister's presence and felt her sister fighting alongside her!

Qingxu has decided that she must practice this move properly when she gets back today!

……

The world of players.

One of the biggest features of Genshin Impact, which is completely controlled by the system, is that it has a huge amount of CG and animation!

The battle between Xingqiu and Qingxu was also an animation.

Although the battle scene was only a brief moment, the special effects were absolutely amazing!

Coupled with the explosive background music, the moment Xingqiu unleashed his ultimate skill and the moment Qingge's phantom appeared must have shocked countless players!
