Legend of the Dragon King: I am Genshin Impact

Chapter 37 Experience Freedom in a Typhoon!

"Attention teachers and students! Attention teachers and students! This is an emergency announcement. We have received notification from the meteorological department that a severe tropical storm will arrive tonight, and this typhoon is expected to last for more than a week. Therefore, please do not leave the campus for the next week. All classes are suspended; please remain in your dormitories. The promotion tournament is suspended and will resume after the typhoon passes."

A typhoon is coming?!

Xie Xie wanted to go out and stop Tang Wulin, but Tang Wulin had already disappeared.

Xie Xie plopped down at the restaurant entrance, his head buzzing. Suddenly… Gu Yue had changed, Tang Wulin was gone, and Feng Zixi's fate was unknown. Xie Xie felt like fate was playing a cruel joke on him!

"Damn it!!!" Xie Xie cursed angrily, pointing at the sky! His mind in turmoil, Xie Xie decided to go find Feng Zixi first. After all… Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, though their mental states weren't quite right, weren't in mortal danger. Gu Yue had said that even she didn't know how Feng Zixi was doing.

……

Meanwhile, in Wu Changkong's small dormitory, Feng Zixi was still playing with the floorboards she had knocked off. She had sculpted an extremely ugly doll.

Feng Zixi looked at the hideously ugly figurine, then slammed it to the ground. She had originally thought playing with mud would be fun, but... after seeing her creation... the fun, slap? Gone!

"Damn it, why don't I get a crafting proficiency reward for signing in?" Feng Zixi grumbled as she dug another piece out of the floor...

Ok?

Feng Zixi's ears twitched. The wind... is moving?!

The wind is active, the wind is flying!

Feng Zixi stood up abruptly, urging the transformation of elemental power within his body.

Wu Changkong was already immune to Feng Zixi's occasional startles; he merely glanced at Feng Zixi before continuing his meditation.

"Little Sky! I want to feel freedom in the wind!"

Before Wu Changkong could respond, Feng Zixi had already completed the conversion of elemental power, activated her Thousand Winds Avatar, and disappeared without a trace.

Wu Changkong's veins throbbed. If he could catch Feng Zixi, he would definitely slap her on the butt twice!

bang bang bang! ! !

A short while later, Xie Xie arrived at Wu Changkong's dormitory and knocked on the door.

Upon seeing Wu Changkong, Xie Xie immediately asked, "Teacher Wu, how is Feng Zixi now?!"

Wu Changkong was taken aback. "He's fine now."

Xie Xie breathed a sigh of relief. "So, where is Zixi now? Can I visit him?"

"He..." Wu Changkong pondered for a moment, "He just said he went to experience freedom in the wind, and I don't know where he is now."

Xie Xie looked conflicted, completely disbelieving Wu Changkong's explanation. "Um, Teacher Wu, I just wanted to visit Xi briefly, really!"

Wu Changkong knew that most people wouldn't believe his explanation, after all... Feng Zixi was probably the only one in the world who would go to the eye of a typhoon to seek freedom.

"You should use this time to cultivate your skills!"

……

After leaving Wu Changkong's dormitory, Xie Xie became increasingly convinced that Feng Zixi's chances of survival were slim. In Xie Xie's view, given their relationship, if Feng Zixi had even a shred of consciousness, Wu Changkong wouldn't have stopped them from visiting her…

Xie Xie felt like the sky had fallen. Of the three friends he had just met, now... he was all alone.

We were having so much fun together just a few days ago...

It all comes down to a lack of ability!

Xie Xie clenched his fists, thinking that he couldn't even break through the Light Dragon's defense... It was all his fault for being too weak!

Xie Xie bit his lip, then ran quickly back to Wu Changkong's dormitory and knocked hard on the door!

squeak……

The door opened, and Wu Changkong looked at Xie Xie without saying a word.

Xie Xie bowed deeply to Wu Changkong, "Teacher Wu! Please teach me to become stronger!!!"

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Wu Changkong's lips as he calmly said, "Go in!"

……

The typhoon that struck Donghai City came very suddenly, causing a huge impact on the entire city. Shops were unable to operate, schools were closed, and traffic was paralyzed in a short period of time. All departments of the Administrative Office were extremely busy.

Perhaps the happiest person about this typhoon is Feng Zixi.

In the eye of a typhoon, Feng Zixi danced in the wind like a leaf. Tiny Wendy, too, with her glasses on, moved with the wind!

For the wind spirits, whether it's a gale, a typhoon, or a tornado, as long as the wind gathers, they will feel a sense of freedom. The stronger the wind element, the more comfortable Feng Zixi feels.

The raging typhoon transformed into extremely gentle wind elements the instant it approached him, softly brushing past Feng Zixi and leaving behind pure wind essence that merged into him. It was like a human taking a bath, cleansing both body and mind…

From the wind, Feng Zixi realized that his own wind was still too gentle, merely a wind of freedom.

Feng Zixi remembered; the wind god wasn't just Barbatos, the god of freedom. There was also Dekalapian, the gale demon known as the Old Wind God!

……

The typhoon lasted for a full week. At its strongest, it could even uproot large trees and damage many buildings.

Fortunately, it's all over now.

After the typhoon, the air in Donghai City felt exceptionally fresh, carrying a light mist. Sunlight streamed down, and occasionally, rainbows could be seen on the horizon. The sky was a clear, cloudless blue.

In the classroom, where there were originally four seats, only Xie Xie and Gu Yue were sitting there.

Over the course of this week, Gu Yue finally realized something and regretted it. If she could do it all over again, she would protect Feng Zixi at all costs!

Unfortunately, even though she was the Silver Dragon King, she didn't have the ability to manipulate time...

After seven days of grueling training under Wu Changkong's stern guidance, Xie Xie's demeanor had become much more reserved. During class, he would occasionally glance at his communication soul tool.

Because Tang Wulin can no longer be contacted...

However, the promotion tournament waits for no one!

After school, in the same place, Class 5 of Grade 1 and Class 1 of Grade 1 stood on the left and right sides of the field, respectively.

Wu Changkong glanced at Gu Yue and Xie Xie, then frowned.

Gu Yue looked terrible; if she were to go on stage in that condition, she'd be lucky to unleash even half of her full power. As for Xie Xie, although his training had allowed him to hold off a two-ring Soul Master, it was merely a matter of holding them off! Tang Wulin simply followed Feng Zixi's example and went missing…

I wonder if that brat Feng Zixi will ever come back...

Wu Changkong glanced at the sky, a hint of worry in his eyes. Although the probability of Feng Zixi having an accident was very low, he couldn't help but worry. After all, even if Feng Zixi wasn't his biological child, he was still someone he had raised.

The two sides gathered on opposite sides of the playing field, waiting for the promotion match to begin.
