Legend of the Dragon King: I am Genshin Impact

Chapter 45 Will I spare your life?

Gu Yue saw Feng Zixi draw her bow again, but raised her hand to stop her. "At least let me stretch my legs a bit."

Feng Zixi shrugged, and the Wings of the Sky dissipated in the air.

The two began to approach the location of the wolf pack. As they walked, large clumps of spiritual energy were drawn towards them.

Just as the two reached the vicinity of the Eye of the Storm, the event ended. Several Wind Demon Wolves, tortured beyond recognition, still glared fiercely at the two, their eyes gleaming with a predatory light.

Although the remaining Wind Demon Wolves were a step older and more ferocious, their dull gray fur made them look ridiculous no matter how you looked at them.

"I have this feeling... that none of us are good people..."

"Hehe!" Feng Zixi had become very skilled at tilting her head and pretending to be stupid.

Gu Yue conjured three large fireballs with a flick of her wrist, then gave Feng Zixi a meaningful look. Feng Zixi waved her hand, and the wind element transformed the three fireballs into three super-large fireballs. The Wind Demon Wolves were already suffering greatly in the Eye of the Storm. Under normal circumstances, they might have been able to dodge the fireballs, but being half-crippled, they could only watch helplessly as they were devoured.

Another large influx of spiritual energy.

Feng Zixi glanced at the spiritual energy surrounding her and estimated Wendy's absorption rate of spiritual energy. If they received three more portions of spiritual energy, their journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform would be perfectly over.

"Let's go..."

Feng Zixi stroked her chin. "Flying... is faster than running, right..."

"That goes without saying..." Gu Yue's lips twitched. "You're not trying to fly up and attract soul beasts, are you?"

"Heh, is it that obvious?"

"No way!" Gu Yue thought for a moment. If they didn't encounter a beast tide... flying shouldn't be too dangerous. "Flying is fine, but I want to come too!"

Feng Zixi snapped her fingers. Emerald green wings appeared on Gu Yue's back.

The two of them took off into the sky. They hadn't yet tested how fast they were flying, but their field of vision was definitely much wider.

shuh...

The two of them streaked across the sky like a blue shooting star.

The Soul Beast Forest is a no-no for flying! Because there is no cover in the air, once you are discovered and surrounded by soul beasts, you will have no way to escape.

However… everything hinges on strength. A level 28 flying-type Soul Master might have lost their soul by now, but Feng Zixi and Gu Yue transformed into bombers, occupying advantageous high-altitude terrain. They weren't here for training; they were here to clean up the mess!

……

Outside the Ascension Platform, Wu Changkong glanced at Feng Zixi and Gu Yue's performance and nodded in satisfaction. Although they were a bit flamboyant, with such flamboyant strength, all problems naturally ceased to be problems.

Wu Changkong turned his gaze to the team led by Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin and Feng Zixi were complete opposites. They came with Wu Changkong's assessment mission, and with Gu Yue and Feng Zixi, two powerful weapons, missing from their team, their overall combat strength, while not low, wasn't exceptionally high either. To be on the safe side, Tang Wulin decided to play it safe for a while. He would boldly hone his skills after completing the final exam.

Wu Changkong also really likes Tang Wulin. If Tang Wulin could stay away from Feng Zixi, Wu Changkong would probably like him even more.

Wu Changkong also noticed that Tang Wulin possessed a leadership quality and strategic vision that Feng Zixi lacked. Of course, Wu Changkong didn't deny that it was because Feng Zixi was too strong; with Feng Zixi's strength, she didn't need any teamwork at all.

……

While Tang Wulin was diligently hiding on his side, Feng Zixi encountered trouble.

After nearly an hour of continuous aerial combat, Feng Zixi and Gu Yue's spiritual energy was incredibly dense. Because they hadn't had time to absorb and digest it, the dense spiritual energy had begun to affect their vision.

So Gu Yue and Feng Zixi simply landed on the ground to rest for a while. However, they didn't expect that after resting for only a short while, someone would be attracted by the enormous spiritual energy around them.

Because of Feng Zixi's Thousand Winds Domain, no movement within a 500-meter radius around him could escape his notice, so Feng Zixi immediately sensed the approaching person.

There was a man and a woman. The man looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, while the girl was much younger, about the same age as Feng Zixi.

Feng Zixi had no intention of launching an attack; the pairing of the large and small was clearly a one-against-one strategy. Regardless of whose it was, securing a spot on the Spirit Ascension Platform was no easy feat. As long as the other party didn't provoke her, Feng Zixi wouldn't recklessly launch a direct attack.

However... Feng Zixi and Gu Yue killed too many soul beasts in a short period of time, and their massive soul power fluctuations were like guiding lights for others.

Soon, the two, one big and one small, approached.

This was a young man who appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old. He had three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—encircling his body, indicating his cultivation level as a Soul Master. In his right hand, he held a long-handled staff that was entirely white except for a single blue crystal at the top. His expression was cold and arrogant…

When he saw the spiritual energy around Feng Zixi and Gu Yue, which was nearly a hundred times denser than theirs, a fleeting look of joy crossed his face.

"I'll give you a chance. Hand over your spiritual power, and I'll spare your lives!" The other party was just a child, and in his eyes, such a huge amount of spiritual power was practically a free gift!

Feng Zixi's initial joy vanished instantly as she tried to greet him. She stroked her chin and said to Gu Yue, "As expected, Soul Masters aren't all good people, huh..."

"No way!" Gu Yue rolled her eyes at Feng Zixi. "Aren't you a Soul Master yourself?"

"Huh? Am I a Soul Master too?" Feng Zixi smiled inexplicably.

"Stop dawdling!" The young man showed a hint of impatience.

Just then, the little girl beside him gently tugged at the man's sleeve. "Brother! That person is a bard! A bard from Donghai Academy!"

Ok?

The man raised an eyebrow. He was also a student at Donghai Academy and knew about the fact that a bard had emerged from the academy's junior high section. However, nearing graduation, he was focused solely on improving his strength and had absolutely no interest in listening to stories! No matter how eloquently his friend described it, he had never attended a single performance.

"Since you're acquaintances from Donghai Academy, that makes things easier. Leave half of your spiritual power behind, and you can go."

The little girl gave her brother a strange look; it was the first time she'd realized how foolish he could be. Was it a matter of whether they were acquaintances or not?

That's a bard from Donghai Academy! Even she, a non-student of Donghai Academy, knows that this bard is a ruthless individual who single-handedly killed three Great Soul Masters. Besides... could an ordinary person create the story scenes displayed using mental power?!

She reminded her brother that he meant not to cause trouble, but he went even further than she expected!
