I thought everyone's focus would be on where Manyo's unclaimed Eye of God came from.

After all, the Eye of God is still quite attractive to most people in Teyvat.

Unexpectedly, the Eye of God has now become a 'supporting role,' while the martial arts tournament, originally held for selection purposes, has become the 'main character.'

However, not everyone is uninterested in the Eye of God. Merchants like Dolly, Ningguang, and Pantarone are all very interested in this unclaimed Eye of God.

However, upon seeing the ending of the story, the three of them were somewhat disappointed.

Manyo's Eye of God has special significance, and it seems unlikely that they will be allowed to obtain it under any circumstances.

[Kaedehara Manyo: "I've only heard of the idea that 'the unclaimed Eye of God can shine again' in a few legends."]

Ningguang was both amused and exasperated upon seeing this statement, as everyone else thought that making the unclaimed Eye of God shine again was just a legend.

But I actually did it, and most importantly, I didn't intend to do it!

I was originally planning to sell it, but somehow it suddenly started glowing!

It's truly Murphy's Law. Manyo couldn't find anyone who could make the Eye of God glow, but Ningguang didn't want the Eye of God to glow, and it glowed instead.

In the story, Manyo recounts the tale of the Eye of God.

He used to be my best friend. That day he asked me, "Have you ever heard of 'The Unthinking Slash'?"

An illustration with these words on it depicts the backs of Manyo and his close friend.

Upon seeing this illustration, Man Ye's pupils constricted, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

I said, "Of course, that strike can only be seen when 'divine punishment' descends."

That strike was the pinnacle of General Lei Dian's martial arts, a symbol of his ultimate strength.

Another illustration is a silhouette of Thor, with his long sword seemingly slightly drawn out, and glints of sword light appearing in the surrounding space.

Kujo Sara's eyes widened as she carefully tore off the illustration and then carefully stuck it on the wall.

Great, I'm getting to eat 'good food' too.

Regardless of whether Inatsume was satisfied with the General or not, she would not question the terrifying power of the General's strike, which was beyond human capability to withstand.

But he said, "That strike might not be out of reach."

"There will always be creatures on earth that dare to face the might of thunder."

Inatsume couldn't believe that someone would say such a thing.

It's one thing if foreigners don't understand, but how could Inatsume, who witnessed that stab, dare to say such a thing?

That was a radiance that neither islands nor demons could block; how could humans possibly reach it?

For most Inatsumi people, General Raiden's strike was a testament to their deep-seated trust.

They trusted that the general, with such martial arts skills, could protect them under any circumstances.

But besides trust, there is also fear, awe of divine power, and trepidation.

Who wouldn't be afraid of such terrifying power?

Later, the "Eye Hunt Order" arrived unexpectedly.

The people's wishes have gradually become the building blocks for "eternity."

The Inazuma people remained silent. There weren't many people who were dissatisfied with the Eye Hunt Order, and even fewer dared to face the might of the thunder.

While I was helplessly wandering around, I heard that he had challenged the executor of the "Eye Hunt Order" to a "duel before the Emperor."

[A duel before the emperor, solemn yet cruel; the loser will face divine punishment, while the winner may win a chance to turn the tide.]

Perhaps he thought he was the most suitable person to stand up and face that "unthinking blow," which was his lifelong wish.

The two illustrations are a silhouette of Manyo's back and a silhouette of Raiden and Kujo Sara from the front.

[But when I arrived at the castle tower, the duel had already ended. I only heard the sound of his broken sword hitting the ground after the divine punishment.]

That must be the light he wanted to witness. What kind of expression will his face have at the last moment?

[Without time to guess, I simply stepped forward, snatched the fading Eye of God, and fled.]

All I know is that I cannot allow his burning desire to be encased in a cold, lifeless idol.

The story ended, and Kujo Sara remained silent.

She naturally remembered Manyo's friends, and she remembered all her respectable rivals.

She would feel apologetic, but she would not regret her decision. All she had to do was defend the path chosen by the General.

Kujo Sara looked at the illustration drawn by Lin Qiu that had just been pasted on the wall.

This was Lin Qiu's first time drawing Thor. Although it was just a frontal silhouette without a face, she still loved it very much.

"General... cannot be wrong," Kujo Sara affirmed.

“General…you are really wrong.” Ayaka Kamisato had a different opinion from Sara Kujo.

In her opinion, the current general is wrong. She also believes in the general, but wrong is wrong.

Yae no Miko also felt that Kage was wrong. At this moment, she only hoped that the person who would break the deadlock would arrive soon and stop Kage from going further and further down the wrong path.

On the other side, Manyo closed the book, looked up, and saw seagulls lingering on the observation deck.

As I was pondering this, my gaze was drawn to the bottom of a wine bottle.

"Wan Ye, want to have a drink with me?" Bei Dou waved the bottle in front of Wan Ye.

"Boss! How could you let young Man Ye drink alcohol?" the crew member asked, puzzled.

They were preparing the venue for the "World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament" and didn't have time to read the book.

Wan Ye smiled faintly, grasped the wine bottle, and said, "Alright, I'll keep you company."

Man-yo got drunk, but he thought that sometimes being drunk was a good thing.

"Haha, brothers, let's make this venue even bigger!" Beidou laughed heartily.

"Why make such a big fuss, boss?" the sailors asked, puzzled.

Although a martial arts tournament is supposed to be held, everyone knows that not many people will actually come.

Beidou is indeed well-known in Liyue, but since she hasn't promoted it intentionally and it was somewhat rushed, she probably won't have many people coming.

"You can find the reasons in the book yourselves. Anyway, let's get started." Beidou happily joined the group and worked with everyone to build the venue.

Readers have noticed something: it seems that all the Wind Men who have appeared so far are short and have lost friends.

Was it intentional or accidental?

Loyalty to General Thunder is my sole creed in this life.

Chapter 158 'The World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament'

In the days following the release of the book "Autumn Wind Asks Red Leaves," Teyvat witnessed a "great migration."

Many people began heading to Liyue, but one country was excluded: Inazuma.

Everyone received an invitation, but guess who didn't?

The "World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament" hosted by Beidou has begun. Because of its large scale, Keqing and Yelan have brought the Thousand Rock Army to oversee the event.

Not only the Thousand Rock Army, but Zhongli was also mixed in, wanting to watch this 'grand event'.

In the open space of Guyun Pavilion, the group chatted and laughed, inquiring about information about their 'opponents'.

On the beach, Lin Qiu and several girls lay on deck chairs, wearing sunglasses.

The recliner was prepared by Lin Qiu, and the sunglasses were Navia's. Originally, Hu Tao said she wanted to prepare a recliner, but Lin Qiu didn't agree, fearing that she would make it look like a coffin.

"So none of you are planning to participate?" Lin Qiu asked.

"I... I think I'll pass... cough, it's too much of a bully to have gods participate in this kind of competition," Funina answered first.

Gui Zhong bluntly stated, "I'm too weak."

Heuria nodded in agreement. With her current strength, she would have a hard time even fighting an ordinary person without using a magic weapon.

"It's not a mechanical skills competition, so I'm not interested." Xianyun was adjusting her automatic cooking machine, intending to cook a good meal for everyone.

Ge Chen and Shen He showed no interest in the martial arts contest; among them, only Hu Tao seemed somewhat interested.

But her interests were misplaced; she was more interested in the unexpected events that might occur during the fight...

So at this moment, Hu Tao did not sunbathe with them, but instead promoted her 'services' among the onlookers.

Selling funeral services before a martial arts competition is really baffling.

"Want to buy the services from Wangshengtang? We'll guarantee you a worry-free competition and a smooth journey!" Hu Tao said.

"Young master, everyone knows you owe Xiao Qiuqiu a life, buy it now and enjoy it sooner!" It turned out she was trying to sell to Dadalia.

“Master Hu, I already refused last time, didn’t I?” Dadalia sighed.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We can just hold the funeral in Liyue and then hold it again in Winter."

"This is called, one corpse (death) ~ two lives."

D'Artagnan looked at the walnut and thought, "Although I'm not very educated, this isn't what the idiom means, is it?"

"I see, Liyue is indeed full of hidden talents." Seno heard Kurumi's words.

"I am the 'King of Jokes,' Seno. May I ask your name?"

Hu Tao stared blankly at the person who had suddenly appeared.

Although she loves to joke around, the people she promotes to are actually all acquaintances, almost all of them are from Liyue. She never expected that a Sumeru would strike up a conversation with her.

But is this "King of Jokes" a profession or a nickname from the underworld?

Next up is the Sumeru contingent, upholding the belief that knowledge is power; their slogans are incredibly powerful...

Tinari pretended not to know Seno and was discussing the participants with Kavi.

"I am Hu Tao, the current head of the Rebirth Hall." Hu Tao was not a shy person and immediately introduced herself.

"Hello, Master Hu, let me introduce my companions to you," Sino said.

Tinari perked up her ears. "I've been pretending not to know you. You're not going to introduce me, are you?"

His fears came true; as expected, Seno introduced them, even including Farusan, who had come along the same route.

After the introduction, Sino said, "Master Hu has already demonstrated his strength, so let me show you a little bit next."

Tina was on high alert; if the guy told a lame joke about me, I'd cover his mouth.

"Do you know why Kavi uses a greatsword?" Seno asked mysteriously.

"Huh? Me?" Kavi didn't expect Seno to tag him here.

Tina breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't a comparison to me.

"Is it because he's strong?" Farusan was seriously considering the question.

“If we’re talking about strength, Elhesen is bigger than me, right? But he still uses a one-handed sword.” Kavi said under pressure.

“I’m just a weak academic,” Elhesen retorted to Kavi’s rebuttal.

"A frail academic?" D'Artagnan expressed doubt. "I can tell at a glance that you are not a 'frail scholar'!"

Kavi rolled his eyes at El Heisen. "Heisen, you still say you don't know martial arts!"

"Could it be because of someone's influence? Like me?" Cole was also analyzing the situation seriously.

Everyone was analyzing the situation seriously, but only Tinari knew that the answer was definitely not a serious matter; he knew Seno too well.

Seeing that no one could guess, Sino smiled almost imperceptibly and said, "Because he is a great architect."

"Great architect...why use a greatsword?" Farusan was still a little confused.

"Don't ask..." Tinari said helplessly.
