Bored, I want to see rivers of blood!

It’s him, the blood ghost that Ak mentioned who came here for refuge!

Countless Hillock people rushed towards the giant, but with just one punch, all the Hillock people who were like minions were killed. The Hillock Frost Armor King who was resting in the tent heard the noise and rushed out immediately.

Who are you and why are you killing my people?

Qianye looked at the chattering Qiuqiu Frost Armor King and didn't waste any words. He rushed towards him. He didn't use his full strength, but just hugged Qiuqiu Frost Armor King's body. He threw him upside down on the snow, and Qiuqiu Frost Armor King had already reacted.

I can't reach a reconciliation with him, so I can only fight to the death. Kill the vampire and end the nightmare of the hill people. With great ideals in mind, the Hill Frost Armor King stood up again, and the ice element condensed into a shield. Then, its huge fist slammed towards Qianye...

Qianye did not dodge and punched him. He fought with the same strength as the Hill Frost Armor King, and the cold blizzard kept hitting both of them. The Hill Frost Armor King shed ice particles for his dead subordinates... Qianye was happy about this trial...

The black angel is laughing wildly and the white devil is crying.

Qianye's arms tightly strangled the neck of the Hillock Frost Armor King, who struggled frantically.

Click...

The Hillilocks Frost Armor King's neck was broken and it could no longer breathe.

Finally, the battle is over...

Seeing all this, Master Liuyun Jiefeng didn't know what to say. Did he say Qianye was cruel? He killed all monsters like the Qiuqiu people. Did he say he was not cruel... He kept building Jingguan. Therefore, it was difficult for Master Liuyun Jiefeng to evaluate a person like Qianye...

(To be continued in the next chapter)

Chapter 13 Reaching the Summit

After building the Jingguan, Qianye burned the headless bodies of the hill people. Wrestling with the Hill Frost Armor King gave Qianye a new understanding, and he ate the wild boar meat they left behind. Qianye began to think...

Why are there wild boars on the snowy mountains? The taste is completely different from other wild boars, so delicious and tasty...

What if I can't eat it anymore? Thinking about it, Qianye returned to the previous cave and put on his clothes again. The trial will continue, and Qianye must climb to the highest point of Findnir.

Following the path, Qianye continued to climb higher. His previously scorched palms were torn again by the stickiness of the ice and snow, and blood continued to flow down his palms to his wrists before freezing again. Qianye's skin turned purple due to the cold...

With every breath, he felt as if ice and snow were sucked into his lungs. The biting cold constantly attacked Qianye's whole body. It was as if there were steel needles constantly stabbing his lungs... But all this could not resist the heart that pursued strength. His will was tempered, and Qianye's entire person was transformed by this trial.

What he saw and heard was the former glory of the ancient country of Fendniel, but now it has been covered by ice and snow... That huge pillar floated above the snow-capped mountains. What does this mean? Qianye didn't know, but the improvement of his will was continuous...

His perception of the ice element was constantly improving in the snowy mountains. This might be a gift to Qianye. He understood the meaning of ice very well. Ice and snow covered everything. It completely buried everything, but the cold could not resist his firm will.

The green buds that emerge from the ice and snow are mint. Life will not give up struggling just because of the ice and snow and cold. We are all trying to live...

After reaching the top of Findernier, Qianye looked up. He was getting closer to the blue pillar. As long as he climbed up that pillar, he would have successfully conquered the Findernier Snow Mountain, right?

Thinking of this, Qianye quickly climbed higher. Soon, Qianye reached the top of the snow mountain. However, the pillar was empty in the middle, so he couldn't climb it with his strength, but this didn't bother Qianye.

Qianye bent his knees slightly, his leg muscles tensed, and he judged the bottom of the pillar.

bump!

Qianye's strong strength even caused the stones on the spot to crack a little, and that jump directly reached the bottom of the pillar. Between his arms, an even colder feeling entered his body. Qianye only felt that the blood in his hands was freezing quickly, but...

Now that I've arrived here, how can I stop?

Qianye ignored his hands which were cracked by the cold and continued to climb higher. Blood flowed slowly along the cracks on the back of his hands, but soon after it flowed out, it turned into red frost.

The skin on his palms was torn again, and his blood was frozen into frost. However, Qianye's will was even more fervent. In just three minutes, Qianye finally climbed to the top of the pillar.

Looking at the clouds below, listening to the whistling cold wind. In the distance were the endless mountains. Qianye opened his hands as if to embrace it all. He roared loudly.

"Master! Did you see that?! I have conquered the Findnir Snow Mountain now. I...I...I will definitely come back to challenge you!"

Lei, who seemed to have some feeling in Inazuma Castle, ended his meditation, as if he was looking into the distance...

“Qian Ye? Never mind, I guess I’m wrong…”

After hesitating for a while, Lei Dianying continued to meditate.

After Qianye finished shouting, he cracked the blood ice on the back of his hands with his hands, looked at the ground under his feet, and without much hesitation, he jumped down.

At this time, Master Liuyun Jiefeng, who was hiding and observing, could not help himself. The height measured from the Frost Sky Nail was very high. This height was nine thousand meters, although the place where you jumped down might not be really that high. However, if you really jumped down, you would definitely die...

Master Liuyun Jiefeng really couldn't bear to see such a brilliant person die in such a ridiculous way, so she took action without much hesitation...

As the wings fluttered, a breeze lifted up Qianye who was falling. The crane came with the wind, and a woman's voice came out.

"Why are you committing suicide?"

Qianye:???

Hearing this, Qianye was completely confused. He couldn't understand why the big bird in front of him would say such strange words, but he still said it out of politeness.

"No, I'm not committing suicide. It's just that it's faster to jump down from here. I don't have any thoughts of committing suicide at all. My physical fitness can fully support this height..."

Listening to Qianye's words, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun was embarrassed. What was even more embarrassing was that she had been spying on Qianye since he swam to Liyue. This kind of thing was really hard to say out loud, it was very embarrassing.

After coughing, Master Liuyunjiefeng continued:

"I traveled here only to see you jumping off a cliff today. I felt sorry for your life and tried to save you. But after hearing your words, I felt that I had done something unnecessary."

"Well, thank you for your help. If you don't mind, would you be interested in going to Mondstadt with me?"

"No, since you are fine, I will put you down and you can leave as soon as possible..."

After saying this, Master Liuyunjiefeng slowly put Qianye on the ground. When Qianye looked up, the crane had already spread its wings and flown away.

Looking at the direction where the crane flew away, Qianye sighed.

"There are still more good people in the world, so I will continue my practice."

As he said this, Qianye walked in the snowstorm. Gradually, he disappeared, and in a place Qianye didn't know. Master Liuyun Jiefeng kept wiping his sweat...

"That was a close call. It would have been embarrassing. If a mortal had discovered that I was being followed and spied on, my career as an immortal would have been over..."

At this time, Qianye had already arrived at the Old Palace of the Snow Burial City. There were ruins everywhere, and the remains of the ruins were scattered here. After walking a few steps, Qianye found several white wild boars frozen in ice. When he was thinking about how there were wild boars in this place, a pig's roar was heard...

A wild boar that was almost as big as Qianye roared and rushed towards him. Its huge size was comparable to the whales that Qianye often killed on the seabed.

This giant white wild boar seemed to have taken Qianye as its prey, but it didn't know that the prey in its eyes was licking its lips greedily at this moment.

Three minutes later...

Qianye carried the giant wild boar and walked towards the foot of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain...

Chapter 14 Recognition from Roland

After walking for a while, Qianye arrived at the Snow-Covered Road. At this time, a group of Knights of Favonius were stationed on the Snow-Covered Road. This was a selection contest open to the public, and the purpose was to recruit outstanding talents from Mondstadt to join the Knights of Favonius.

Rustan, the 45-year-old wolf knight, is stationed here. He is the host of this selection. In order to prevent the invasion of monsters and other problems, he, who is already the deputy leader, will be stationed here as a safety.

Organizing the candidate knights, Rustam stood in front of the stage and said loudly

"In order to protect Mondstadt and its people, Alendlin and I sincerely thank everyone for participating in the Knights' Trials."

"But it is not enough to have the courage to join the Order. What we need is a true hero... humility, honesty, mercy, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul."

"These are the eight virtues of a knight. I don't ask everyone to do this. I know it's difficult, even for me. But..."

Rustan groaned for a moment, looking at the candidates who were discussing with each other. He shouted again:

"We are the Knights of Favonius. We fight to protect the weak and monsters. We fight for justice. We are honest and we sacrifice..."

"Finally, for the God of Wind. Let the wind guide you... I declare this selection competition officially open!"

As Rustan shouted his last words, the atmosphere in the arena suddenly became intense. Countless passionate knights raised their swords and praised Rustan...

Qianye was filled with emotion when he heard the cheers of the crowd from afar. After all, he hadn't seen anyone for more than a week. He thought, "Maybe I can go there and take a look now." Qianye carried the wild boar and walked slowly towards the camp of the Knights of Favonius...

The knight was terrified to see a giant carrying a snow pig king on his shoulders walking slowly towards the camp. After all, he had never seen such a tall person. Without thinking too much, the alert knight immediately blew the alarm.

The Knights of Favonius immediately went on alert. After receiving the alert, the wolf cub Rustan immediately came to the sentry tower to inquire about the knights. After learning the reason, Rustan thought about it and decided to negotiate with the giant. Although it was a negotiation, the necessary vigilance still had to be carried out...

Wearing the West Wind Sword on his waist, Rustan stopped 500 meters in front of the camp and waited for the giant to arrive. As the giant's heavy footsteps slowly fell, the grass on the ground trembled slightly because of the force.

The giant stopped, his eyes were determined and bloodthirsty. His robes were stained red by the monster's blood, and his deep and powerful voice reached Rustan's ears.

"Hello, I am a traveler who has left my hometown for training. I am passing through Mondstadt. I wonder if I can go to the camp to chat?"

Seeing the human voice coming out of the giant's mouth, Rustam put down his sword from his waist and said with a kind smile:

"Dear guests from afar, Mond welcomes any friendly presence..."

…………

Soon, Qianye was brought into the camp. The Snow Pig King was also thrown aside... Rustan sat on the side. Qianye had to use the table as a chair because there was no suitable chair. Seeing Qianye like this, Rustan could only say awkwardly

"I'm so sorry, there's really no chair in the camp that fits your body size."

"It's okay, I don't really care about it."

After talking about these irrelevant things, Rustan began to ask about important matters.

"First of all, hello, Mr. Qianye. What is your purpose in coming to Mondstadt?"

"In order to become stronger, find powerful beings or extremely dangerous places to conduct personal trials."

Listening to Qianye's words, Rustan looked at Qianye's tattered and bloodstained clothes, as well as the wounds that were covered with bruises and then healed, and Rustan smiled.

"It seems to be true. You walked out of the Findnir Snow Mountain alive. This already proves your strength. But I wonder if you can tell me where you are from or show me your ID?"

"I'm afraid not, because I left my hometown in a hurry. As a result, I didn't bring any useful identification with me... Maybe I should prepare before going out..."

As he spoke, Qianye slapped his forehead in annoyance. Rustan also frowned. After all, Mondstadt was open to travelers from afar. However, people without even proof of identity were equivalent to refugees. Mondstadt also had a slave system. If one came here casually, he might be captured by some nobles and used as a slave...

Fortunately, Qianye was very strong. After all, the strong man who could come down from the Fendnier Snow Mountain and kill the Snow Pig King was enough to prove that he was as strong as the captain of the Knight Squad.

If the nobles sent people to capture this traveler, they would probably be severely slapped in the face by him. It is not difficult to make an identity card for him. At least with the ability of the deputy knight leader, it can be done easily. If the identity card is given to him, he can also gain the friendship of a strong man. In any case, it is a good deal...

Thinking of this, Rustam continued to speak.

"Mr. Qianye is really careless, but it's a good thing that you met the Knights. I can guarantee you and provide you with a legal identity. And arrange a temporary residence..."

[Just like that, under Rustan's arrangement, Qianye moved into the Knights' camp without knowing what was going on. A candidate knight named Roland who followed Qianye was very curious about Qianye's story. When Roland learned that Qianye swam all the way from Inazuma to Yaoguang Beach, he was even more shocked...]

[What is even more shocking is that Qianye said that he killed countless sea beasts while swimming, cut off a head of a three-headed sea monster, climbed to the Findnir Snow Mountain with thin clothes, wrestled with the Hill Frost Armor King in the snow mountain and strangled him to death. He climbed to the top of Findnir and many other deeds...]

[If anyone could accomplish any of these deeds, they would be able to brag about them for the rest of their lives, but Qianye only treated these things as after-dinner talk. As if these were nothing to this man, Roland had some doubts at first. However, when he thought of the Snow Mountain Boar Queen cooking in the pot, he felt that this was most likely true...]

Just like that, Roland was instantly conquered by this man's story and experience. He began to admire him. Of course, Qianye didn't care much about this kind of thing.

(To be continued in the next chapter)

Chapter 15 Discussion

After a week, the selection competition was finally successfully concluded under Rustan's leadership. Most of the candidate knights who participated in the selection competition completed the assessment. Roland even won the first place in the selection competition, and Rustan awarded him a title.

The title is Pure White Knight...

After the trials, Rustan found Qianye. During this week, because he had to wait until the trials were over before he could take Qianye to apply for identity certificate, Qianye could only stay in the Snow Road out of boredom. And because Qianye was too bored, the entire Hill tribe near the foot of the Findnir Snow Mountain suffered...

In Qianye's eyes, these tribes without even a Frost Armor King were vulnerable. Normally, these tribes might be used by the Knights of Favonius as a means of training new members. But Qianye did it because he was bored...

Some of the knights who were hosting the knight selection competition were shocked by Qianye's feat. After all... it seemed that killing the Hilliard thugs was easier for Qianye than killing a chicken.

With a single hand, the head of the hillock thug was smashed to the ground. Anyone who saw Qianye killing the hillock people would be very impressed by his bravery and strength, even Rustan was no exception... But these were not the most surprising things to them. What surprised them the most was Qianye's appetite...

That meal was enough for an ordinary knight to eat for three days or more. They did not care about meat or vegetables. As long as they could eat, they would eat it in one bite. Sometimes, even the plate would be eaten. This shocked many knights...

…………

After the trials, Rustam returned to Mondstadt with Qianye and the troops. After a conversation with Grand Commander Alendrin, he successfully processed an identity document for Qianye.

"Although it may sound a bit rude, Mr. Qianye, can you fight me?"

"That's no problem, as long as you don't blame me..."

As early as the Findnir Snow Mountain, Rustan wanted to fight Qianye. But he had no choice but to face off against Qianye because there were too many knights around him. He could not fight Qianye without being sure.

If he wins, it's fine. If he loses, the reputation of the Knights will be damaged. This is also what Rustan doesn't like. However, considering the direction of the Knights, Rustan can only suppress his determination to make a move. Now that no one is watching, he can challenge Qianye unscrupulously...

Qianye would never refuse a challenge. When he was in Inazuma, there were many people who wanted to use the fame of defeating a vampire to improve their status, but without exception, they all failed. No one, whether human or monster, could defeat Qianye...

But this is not surprising. As early as before Qianye became Mingshen's apprentice, his strength was already the strongest among the Inazuma except for the top masters. He often kills monsters such as hillbillies for fun. How could some people or monsters who only rely on martial arts training be his opponents?

(The top masters here refer to those masters who lived 500 years before the timeline of the original god, such as Kombumaru (Kirikiri Takamine), Otogi Shishidaiou, Miyuchiyo (Torachiyo), Kitsaiimiya, etc. And Miyumi Doki and others belong to a later period, of course, the time is not too long...)

In addition, Qianye himself is a freak. Even if he hadn't met Torachiyo, Qianye would have grown into a strong man at the level of Kirigiri Takamine in endless battles. And meeting Torachiyo greatly raised his upper limit. How could some characters whose names were not even mentioned in later generations have the strength to defeat him?

Accepting the challenge, Qianye and Rustan came to an open space. Rustan drew the sword from his waist, swung the sharp blade into a sword flower, and then took an attacking stance. Qianye did the same. The wailing voice behind him didn't like this kind of bloodless battle. However, he had no choice but to accept the challenge from his master.
