Legend of the Dragon King: I am Genshin Impact

Chapter 56 The Way Out

Since Xie Xie had said so, Wu Changkong said nothing more.

Of the three, only Gu Yue remained silent. Gu Yue looked conflicted, biting her lip, glanced at Feng Zixi, and hesitated before asking, "Do you want me to join the Tang Sect?"

"Would you join if I wanted to?"

"Yes!" Gu Yue nodded her little head firmly.

Feng Zixi was almost moved to tears by this silly boy. You see, in the original story, Gu Yue firmly refused even when Tang Wulin asked her to join the Tang Clan. But... now, he was willing to give up a long-planned scheme for her sake, which showed how much Feng Zixi meant to this silly boy.

Feng Zixi reached out and pinched Gu Yue's delicate nose, saying affectionately, "If you have your own plans, don't worry about me. No matter where you are, no matter what organization you join, you're still one of my people!"

"Oh..." Xie Xie made a cheeky, silly noise.

Tang Wulin watched Gu Yue and Feng Zixi, who were so affectionate, and felt a pang of unease. Was this a confession? Gu Yue had even run away...

Feng Zixi herself wasn't sure what kind of feelings she should have towards the Tang Sect. To be honest, she was fully aware of the Tang Sect's kindness towards her. But she also knew the prerequisite…

It all started because her parents, who didn't even exist, were low-level executives in the Tang Sect. That was an identity assigned by the system, and had absolutely nothing to do with Feng Zixi personally…

Perhaps I can hide the fact that my true form is a wind spirit, but... if the God of Freedom has to hide, what use is power?!

Feng Zixi wasn't sure what the Tang Sect's attitude would be towards her after her true identity was revealed. So... it wouldn't be bad if Gu Yue joined the Spirit Pagoda like in the original story.

"Then... I won't join the Tang Sect?" After saying that, Gu Yue glanced at Feng Zixi cautiously and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Feng Zixi really didn't mind.

Upon hearing that Gu Yue wouldn't be joining the Tang Sect, Tang Wulin was undoubtedly the happiest. Being from the same organization meant that Gu Yue and Feng Zixi were now further apart...

Wu Changkong looked at Feng Zixi for a while, then tacitly agreed with her idea, saying, "Wu Lin and Xie Xie, fill out a form first."

Gu Yue knew that anything beyond this would be classified information for the organization, and that it wouldn't be appropriate for her to stay, so she said, "Teacher Wu, I'll head out now."

"Let's go, together!"

Feng Zixi took Gu Yue's hand and they left the Tang Sect's base together.

It was midday outside, and the sun was shining brightly. The artificial vegetation emitted a delicate fragrance.

Seeing that Feng Zixi remained silent, Gu Yue squeezed Feng Zixi's hand and tentatively asked, "You're not upset, are you?"

He curled his lip, "What a stingy man! He doesn't keep his word. I can join now..."

"Huh?" Feng Zixi snapped out of her daze, both amused and exasperated. "I was just thinking about something. Don't worry, I'm not angry..."

Gu Yue kicked at a pebble by the roadside, seemingly casually saying, "I want to join the Spirit Pagoda... It... can be a great help to me..."

"You don't need to explain." Feng Zixi covered Gu Yue's mouth and said with a smile, "The Spirit Pagoda is great, it can be said to be the largest organization on the continent in the open. I really don't care at all, in fact..."

Feng Zixi murmured softly, "In fact... I'd almost like you to join the Spirit Pagoda..."

"Why?!"

"Because...you're my backup plan..." Feng Zixi snapped her fingers with her left hand, a gentle breeze blowing. "Alright, let's let this topic drift away with the wind, hehe..."

Even though Gu Yue had a million questions, she could only swallow them down under Feng Zixi's feigned madness. Her little face was puffed up with anger, and she wanted to say something but couldn't. Finally, she snorted and turned away from Feng Zixi.

"Ha ha……"

The application process for joining the Tang Sect was not complicated, and soon Tang Wulin and Xie Xie officially joined the Tang Sect.

The final exams have officially come to an end. And the month-long vacation has finally arrived as scheduled.

The end of a semester is the happiest time for all the students. Because it's almost vacation time—a month-long break! Finally, they don't have to endure the intense studying and training anymore; they can completely relax. Although they are already Soul Masters, they are still children.

Gu Yue had originally planned to invite Feng Zixi to his home, but considering his responsibilities, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to say it. He then gave Feng Zixi a classic, haughty farewell.

Xie Xie has his own family, while Tang Wulin, having nowhere else to go, simply stayed at the school.

Seeing Tang Wulin's pitiful state, Wu Changkong decided to bring him to his side. Every year at this time, Wu Changkong would go to Tiandou City to pay respects to his girlfriend. In the past, Feng Zixi would accompany him, but this time Tang Wulin was also there.

Wu Changkong bought the most basic seat, which seats four people per row, two on each side, with an aisle in the middle. Because it was the most basic carriage, it was noticeably crowded.

However, Tang Wulin didn't dislike the crowded feeling... because Feng Zixi was right next to her.

Tang Wulin was by the window, Feng Zixi was in the middle, and Wu Changkong was on Feng Zixi's other side...

"Here you go!" Wu Changkong handed Tang Wulin a booklet. "Zixi, you're in charge of teaching Tang Wulin..."

Originally, Wu Changkong wanted to rely on Tang Wulin to explain the Tang Clan's rules and the Xuan Tian Gong to him, but since Feng Zixi was sitting in the middle, he decided to pass the task on to Feng Zixi.

Feng Zixi glanced at the booklet; it was the essential introductory technique of the Tang Clan, the Mysterious Heaven Skill!

"What is this?" Tang Wulin asked Feng Zixi curiously.

"That's the Tang Clan's Xuan Tian Gong technique, which is much more effective than basic meditation," Feng Zixi replied casually.

Tang Wulin's eyes lit up with surprise as he stared at the booklet, then looked at Feng Zixi pitifully, "Um... Zixi, I don't understand..."

"Tsk..." Feng Zixi clicked her tongue. Indeed, the Xuan Tian Gong was an obscure and difficult-to-understand technique, cumbersome and lengthy, with much of it being nonsense. In its essence, the entire Xuan Tian Gong could be summarized by a single diagram of soul power flow. After all, the Xuan Tian Gong wasn't a particularly powerful technique, nor could it lead to enlightenment.

"I don't know how to teach others, so how about this: I'll guide the flow of your soul power. Just memorize the feeling with your body, and then cultivate step by step!"

"Eh?"

Before Tang Wulin could react, Feng Zixi's small hand reached inside Tang Wulin's clothes, and her slightly cold hand pressed against Tang Wulin's warm belly.

"It feels nice," Feng Zixi chuckled, and casually pinched the chubby belly of Tang Wulin.

"Eh eh eh..."

"Quiet! Calm your mind! Feel the flow of soul power, follow the flow of soul power and memorize this route, then familiarize yourself with it, make it an instinct!"

Tang Wulin pouted, her little face flushed, but she knew this wasn't the time to think about such things. She quickly calmed herself down and followed the soul power guided by Feng Zixi...

[PS: First, regarding Zhongli's combat power, firstly, 100% is equivalent to the Dragon God's combat power, meaning he can easily defeat any God King. Secondly, 20% is not 20% of his full strength! For example, a level 10 Soul Master's combat power is not equal to 10% of a level 100 God's. (In response to readers who think the protagonist's current combat power is too low)]

Second, the protagonist is invincible below the god level even at 70% combat power, and defeating a Soul King at 20% is no problem, let alone fighting a simulated character from the Hall of Heroes. Furthermore, he possesses the elemental diffusion suppression of wind.

Thirdly, some readers have pointed out that Anemo cannot diffuse Grass element, which is indeed correct; it cannot diffuse in Genshin Impact. However, the protagonist's third Soul Skill was designed to forcibly diffuse any element, including Light, Darkness, and Spacetime. If it can only diffuse the original four elements, what is the point of the third Soul Skill?

Fourth, it's probably because the number of favorites has increased. The once harmonious comment section has now been invaded by trolls. What do you mean, saying I wrote a simplistic novel... No problem! Yes! It is a simplistic novel! If you don't like it, don't read it! You can't just read it and criticize at the same time. Some people even say I'm promoting the Douluo Continent system, that all Douluo are hydrogen-powered beings. Let's not even talk about whether I'm promoting the Douluo Continent system or not. Even if Douluo were hydrogen-powered beings, how would the author write it? The protagonist transmigrates, and because of the excessive density, he becomes a black hole, and the story ends abruptly, right?

Fifth, most of the trolls are the kind of freeloaders who haven't spent a single penny on the book. Note that "freeloader" here doesn't mean they've only read the book for free, but that they haven't actually spent a single penny since they started reading. I'm not looking down on freeloaders; after all, my author account hasn't spent much money either. But… those who say they'll abandon the book because it's not good enough, are you threatening me? Even if you don't give any rewards or subscribe, with a level where you can't even cast recommendation votes, who are you threatening? Do you think I need your troll comment?

Sixth, friendly follow-up updates. The author will take some time each week to read and respond to comments. I will delete some overly harsh comments; I'm not a saint, and those things are truly upsetting. However, I won't delete comments that aren't particularly unreasonable or offensive. For example, I don't care if people say my book is toxic, that my writing is low-quality, or that I can't write well. If you can't handle that kind of pressure, you might as well stop writing altogether. As long as there are no personal attacks or content that misleads new readers, I don't care.

7. The recent plot has been a bit padded, not because the author intended it to be, but because a transitional period of calm is necessary. A novel can't be a constant climax.

8. For those who feel this book has too few words and are currently reading it, you can continue reading now, but could you please place an initial order when the book is officially released?

Nine, that's all I have to say. I'm begging for recommendation votes, monthly tickets, and tips! Every interaction with you is my motivation to keep going. Bring on all kinds of votes and tips! The water isn't deep, I can handle it!
