Genshin Impact: Without the Eye of God, the Original Man Witnesses the Original

There was a little drizzle in the sky, dispelling the summer heat.

At the martial arts competition, Ying held up the edgeless sword and looked at his opponent.

"It's finally here, the highlight of today!" Beidou smiled and took a sip of wine.

"Haha, the big sister is looking forward to this game very much. I haven't seen her so excited for a long time." Wan Ye said to Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi nodded and looked at Ying's opponent in this match.

Rong Shi, a dark horse in the entire martial arts competition, is unknown but has overcome numerous tests and made it to the semi-finals. He is experienced in many battles and has an outstanding temperament.

He has a very sturdy build, and his bronzed muscles are full of powerful strength forged by the sun and sweat.

A person who meets the standards of the ancient Qianyan Army and can lift the Qianyan ancient sword and Qianyan spear.

"Ying, come on." Paimon shouted from the side.

After the host introduced both parties, they began to call each other names, utter threats and start fighting.

"I'm not interested in the prize..." Rong Shi said, "But you are very strong, that's enough."

Ying held the sword in her hand, a little confused. Why didn't anyone competing with her use weapons? Wasn't it a bit unfair for her to hold the sword?

But... never mind.

"Be careful." After giving a reminder, Ying rushed forward.

Rong Shi concentrated all his attention, dodged and threw a punch. The tip of his fist was hard, with calluses visible on it, and it brought a gust of air.

Ying raised his sword to resist, but using the sword tip was too aggressive, so he blocked it with the sword body.

Use your body's agility to attack quickly.

Rong Shi is very strong and good at boxing.

His moves are swift and powerful, and his tall stature makes him very oppressive.

Ying was a little surprised. In terms of pure martial arts, this guy was very good. His boxing style was similar to the Fengquan of the Fatui vanguard and the boxer of the treasure-stealing group.

Rong Shi and Ying were struggling, sweat pouring down their bodies.

The great hero of Liyue, he is indeed amazing even though he is known only by name.

The two sides fought for a hundred moves before the winner was decided.

"I sweated a lot, which is good." Rong Shi said in a cold voice, "I admit that you are better than me. I still need to practice."

"You have the potential to become a champion." Ying said, putting away his sword.

Paimeng wiped the sweat off his forehead: "That was a close call just now..."

She almost thought Ying was going to be punched.

But the next second, Ying put the sword against the opponent's chest.

"If you have the Eye of God, you will become very powerful." Ying said.

Rong Shi shook his head: "When I was a kid, I also wanted the Eye of God. They said that as long as I was strong enough, I would have a chance. But I couldn't get it."

"Later, I lost interest. The Eye of God is not as solid as muscles. It is better to exercise more than to pursue illusory things."

He looked at Jiang Yi creating the mountain wall. The true qi seeds were as tempting to warriors as the Eye of God, but he wanted to try to condense them himself.

"I have also defeated people who have the Eye of God. That kind of power is given by God, I don't envy it."

Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows.

Which holder of the Eye of God is so weak?

He had seen the fate of many holders of the Eye of God... Combat ability had nothing to do with martial arts. For example, when Lei Ze obtained the Eye of God, he used his wrathful thunder to break free from the chains that bound him to the Abyss Mage and tore the Abyss Mage to pieces.

Diona also instantly froze the rain and torrents between heaven and earth, and went out to look for her missing father;

When Ye Lan obtained the Eye of God, the springs and streams in the mountains were summoned by it, turning into several water arrows that swirled upwards and exploded into a rain curtain, like a summer night rainstorm, covering the sky and the earth...

The moment a mortal obtains the Eye of God, he has basically transformed into an extraordinary person.

The Eye of God represents elemental magic and sorcery, which cannot be resisted by flesh and blood.

This guy has good martial arts skills and decent strength, but his speed is not fast among the contestants.

If the elements were removed, it would be reasonable to defeat the holder of the Eye of God in a martial arts contest, or to wear a relic that could resist the elements.

Just like the Thousand Rocks Army can resist the elements with external forces.

Forget it. It’s rare to see a good warrior in this martial arts competition, so I won’t make any unwarranted guesses.

"Aren't you here for the Eye of God that has no owner?" Ying asked with a little curiosity.

"No, I just want to compete and see who is stronger." Rong Shi crossed his arms, "Only by losing can you feel the difference and have the opportunity to grow. So I am very happy. Losing is a rare thing. Let's compete again if there is a chance in the future. I will continue to grow."

Ying nodded and said politely, "Me too."

"The winner of this competition is Ying."

With the host's voice, the competition came to an end.

Ying stepped down.

Semi-finals in the morning and finals in the afternoon.

"Is there any information about my opponent in the final?" Ying asked Jiang Yi.

When it comes to the boat ticket to Inazuma, one naturally has to be cautious.

Paimeng raised his hand: "I know, I have asked around, I heard that he is very 'fast', Uncle Yun who is known as the 'Second Place of Chihuyan Free Fighting Tournament' met him in the third round of the competition, that person is agile and good at catching people's flaws, if the opponent makes a mistake, he will be knocked to the ground."

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Your opponent in the finals is like a weakened debt collector. He can't be said to be strong, but he is very unique. The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed. He is good at body movements, has rich practical experience, and moves quickly. For you, be careful and you will win."

Clap, clap, clap, there was a burst of applause.

"It's brilliant and worthy of praise." Wan Ye walked over and said, "Ying, I can feel that you are a little unaccustomed to this way of fighting, which put the battle in a dilemma for a while. But you quickly adjusted your situation and won the duel. This is the most valuable strength."

Ying nodded: "Normally, you don't need to stop when hitting someone, you can also use elemental power and stop when necessary. This is the first time. Manye, you have a strong observation ability."

Jiang Yi felt that the rules of the competition were actually too imperfect. Both sides had concerns about the duel between armed and unarmed, but there was no need to talk about it here.

"Actually, I heard it," Wan Ye said. "There were sounds of sand and breathing. But it's not something worth mentioning. The big sister can also see it."

Beidou laughed at the side: "I'm different from you. I just rely on experience. This kind of martial arts competition is a very new experience for Ying, right?"

Ying smiled: "What a pity, after only two games, he will be the champion soon."

"Hehe, not modest at all." Paimon said proudly with his hands on his hips.

"I came over and seemed to hear you talking about the information about the final opponent. Isn't it a bit unfair to tell the contestants directly as a special guest?" Beidou said with a smile.

"How could that be? Isn't this also a part of ability? As the Art of War says, victory or defeat on the battlefield has been decided long before the battle begins. Don't underestimate anyone. Sufficient preparation and deduction are the necessary qualities for a strong person who avoids all kinds of crises and reaches the peak." Jiang Yi argued.

Wan Ye agreed: "That's right! Intelligence gathering is also part of the showdown, there is nothing wrong with that. They have experienced many fierce battles all the way from Mondstadt, and their successive victories are not just due to bravery."

Humans are so amazing that they can make the dark secrets sound so grand. Yandora clapped her hands.

"That's right!" Paimon nodded, "Manye, do you know so much about our Mond's situation?"

"Hehe, wherever you go, you will leave footprints in nature, and nature will give you special aura in return." Wan Ye said, "I didn't go to inquire specifically, I just got some information through the aura."

"However, this aura can give me hints, but it cannot touch the essence after all, so I still have many curious questions that have not been answered."

"Huh?" Paimon asked puzzledly.

"Haha, isn't it hard to understand? But what I'm talking about, 'seeing' and 'hearing', is not just poetic, but real." Wan Ye looked into the distance, "I was able to understand the information of nature when I was very young. I could hear the breathing of the wind and the whispers of the leaves..."

"Even when we first met, I could sense that you had a similar aura to the holder of the Eye of God, the power of rock and wind. Even though we didn't know each other, I could tell that you controlled multiple elemental powers."

"It feels so amazing." Paimon scratched his head. "It's hard to believe, but it doesn't seem like I'm lying."

"There are always people in the world who are special..." Jiang Yi shook his head. Like Lei Ze's unique sense of smell, Klee's unique luck, Bennett's unique misfortune, Diona's elf blessing... Wan Ye's ability to give back from nature is nothing.

"Compared to the incredible things you guys are saying, my ability is nothing." Wan Ye said, "A human who can drive multiple elemental forces without relying on the Eye of God...a human who created Qigong martial arts and transformed into the natural world."

"The taste is extremely complex, and I don't know where this mysterious creature came from..."

Paimon was anxious: "Don't judge me by 'taste'!"

Ying was very calm. She had seen so many magical things during her trip, so there was no need to be startled.

"Would you two mind taking a walk around here?" Wan Ye invited.

Jiang Yi and Ying had no objection.

"I'm sorry to bother you. Actually, I've always wanted to ask you about how you two obtain compound elemental power..." Wan Ye said, "If we can use elemental power without relying on the Eye of God, then why do we need the Eye of God?"

"Don't answer yet. Let me tell you about Inazuma's situation."

"As you know, I'm from Inazuma. When I was in Inazuma, I was a ronin samurai, so I know the situation in Inazuma."

Paimon nodded: "Well, that can be seen from your clothes. But when you speak, you don't sound like someone who would wield swords and guns..."

"I can handle books and wield swords. On the long journey of wandering, what's wrong with having one more skill?" Wan Ye said.

"Storms are continuous off the coast of Inazuma and never stop." He began to introduce, "Ordinary ships are not qualified to pass through. Even if they break through the storm, they still have to bypass the samurai who enforce the isolation order."

"Under the lockdown order, ordinary people who have come to Inazuma's 'offshore island' to receive foreigners despite all odds need to produce relevant proof, otherwise they will be driven away..."

Ying and Jiang Yi listened carefully.

Paimon complained: "This is just intentional not wanting people to get close to Inazuma."

"Yes!" Manye nodded, "Inazuma's oppression is not just that. Inazuma has the 'Three Admonitions', which are responsible for managing Inazuma's affairs. To put it in an analogy, it is similar to Liyue's 'Seven Stars and Eight Gates'."

"Among the three magistrates of the remote islands, the 'Kanjo Bugyo' has absolute control over everything. One of their duties is to strictly review the identities of those entering and leaving Inazuma, conduct multiple reviews, and uniformly manage outsiders on the 'remote islands'..."

"One of the duties of the 'Tenryo Bugyo', one of the three bugyo, is to enforce the 'Eyehunt Order' under the isolation order."

Manye said this, clenching his fists slightly.

"They are the agents of General Raiden's will. They are loyal and ruthless."

"General Raiden, the god of Inazuma."
