Bored, I want to see rivers of blood!

It could only obediently float down from behind and be grasped by Qianye's hilt.

"Does this sword have a will of its own?"

Rustan was quite surprised to see that Qianye's sword did not float towards its master because of any elemental force. Although he was the vice-captain of the Knights of Favonius, he had not seen everything...

"It does have its own soul, but it has a bad temper. It likes fighting, just like me, but unlike me it hates fighting without blood."

"That's a really bad sword. Does it have a name?"

"The sword is called the Howling Voice. This is the name I gave it. It is also our purpose, to bring the wailing voice to the monsters...

So, enough of the small talk. Let's start the fight..."

Rustan's expression began to become serious, and Qianye held the heavy sword in one hand. As the two looked at each other, Rustan kept looking for flaws in Qianye's body and adjusting his position. Qianye seemed to be particularly relaxed...

A gust of wind passed by, and the fallen leaves touched the ground at that moment.

The West Wind Sword slashed at Qianye like lightning, and Rustan kept swinging his sword to chop at Qianye. Qianye kept adjusting his angle, and the blade of the heavy sword kept blocking the incoming attacks.

Faster than lightning, denser than rain, Rustan's attacks continued to slash at Qianye's body. But the sound of metal clashing continued to be heard, and Rustan's sweat continued to flow down. Finally, in an instant, Qianye seized the flaw. The heavy sword deflected the one-handed sword...

At the same time, the sword tip was against Rustan's neck.

Feeling the cold touch on his neck, Rustam had no doubt that if they were enemies, the battle would be over in a very short time.

Qianye slowly lowered the heavy sword from Rustan's neck. At this time, he had already judged Rustan's strength. This strength should be on par with Torachiyo, maybe slightly weaker. But definitely not stronger than him, and Rustan's swordsmanship is more exquisite than most of the challengers in Inazuma...

"You are very powerful. You should be considered a top-notch expert in my hometown."

"Alas...it seems that there is a huge gap in our strength..."

Qianye just smiled and didn't refute, but continued

"There is indeed a huge gap in strength between us, but this is not something that cannot be discussed. However, if I tell you that I am a disciple of Ming Shen, you will probably feel better..."

"What? You're Narukami's disciple!"

"Hush, keep your voice down... I ran away from Inazuma secretly to practice. If my identity were to become widely known, then my training plan would be difficult to carry out..."

After hearing Qianye's unexplained identity, Rustan was so surprised that he was speechless. After all, Qianye's identity as the Thunder God's personal disciple was too great.

Of course, it was no wonder that Rustam was surprised. After all, being a disciple of a god... was not an identity that ordinary people could have. If the reactionaries in other countries knew about it and killed Qianye in Mondstadt, it would directly cause a serious diplomatic incident...

The cuckolded boy who was eavesdropping on the rooftop was speechless after hearing all this. After all, a disciple of a god had come to Mondstadt. This would have a huge impact, and the disciple of Naruto. If a god who could teach martial arts was a god whose hometown was Inazuma, then it could only be Baalzebub. If her disciple died abroad...

The cuckold boy could already imagine what would happen next, even for his own safety. He also wanted to ensure that Qianye would not die in Mondstadt...

"I have a lofty ideal, and that is to defeat my master, Narukami. So, let's have another sparring match. This time, I will attack and you will defend..."

Listening to Qianye's unimaginable ideal, Rustan felt his long-dormant blood boiling again.

Dangdang Dangdang!

All night long, Qianye and Rustan kept fighting, either attacking or attacking at the same time. During the fight, Rustan also regarded Qianye as his best friend...

However, the next day, I found several more letters from the Knights of Favonius asking for help. The content of the request was the incessant sound of iron forging at night, but that’s another story…

Chapter 16: Wolf of the North Wind

"Oh... I'm so sleepy..."

Rustan yawned while leaning on the table. The dark circles under his eyes showed that he was not in a good mental state. Alan Delin, who was handling the copywriting, looked quite surprised.

I have known him for decades, and I know Rustan's living habits quite well. Even Rustan himself doesn't know him better than Alan Delin...

After all, his deputy was always very serious, and he was rarely seen looking listless. He usually didn't drink and had no interest in women, and he went to bed early at night. His life seemed quite normal, so what could have caused him to have dark circles under his eyes?

"Rustan, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so listless?"

"Oh, don't mention it... It was the master I brought back. I had a fight with him last night. I was severely hit. My martial arts and the essence of fighting were severely damaged in all aspects."

After listening to Rustan's complaints, Alendrin was speechless. After all, he knew Rustan's strength very well. He used his original West Wind Swordsmanship to the fullest, and raindrops and leaves could be easily cut off. Even he had to use a one-handed sword in addition to a two-handed sword to defeat the opponent with two swords...

What kind of person could defeat him completely? Perhaps there is no one in the Seven Kingdoms who could do it?

"Then, who exactly is that Qianye? There aren't many people who can surpass you in strength and skills. I don't think even I can achieve a definite victory over you in a battle..."

"Well, that person's identity must be kept secret. He told me not to tell anyone, but don't worry. He won't do anything to harm Mond..."

Since Rustan hadn't told him and was willing to keep it a secret, Alan Delin didn't ask any more questions. He believed in Rustan's judgment. However, belief was belief. Alan Delin himself also planned to compete with the other party, so let's set the time tonight...

…………

At this time, Qianye used the West Wind Swordsmanship that he had learned from fighting Rustan last night. Although Rustan used a one-handed sword, it was not difficult for Qianye to use a two-handed sword as well as a one-handed sword.

"This swordsmanship is indeed quite exquisite, and Rustan can really be regarded as a master of his generation. If he were in Inazuma, he could have founded his own school. Being loyal to the Thunder God would have given him a very high position..."

After performing a set of West Wind Swordsmanship again, Qianye planned to absorb the excellent features of this set of swordsmanship and integrate it into his own fighting methods. Qianye no longer wanted to imitate poorly. Now Qianye planned to integrate the origins taught by his master with Tiger Qiandai's ghost fighting methods and many other martial arts...

Of course, the most important thing is to integrate the will learned in the Snow Mountain Trial into it. Only the fighting method created by oneself is the most suitable for oneself, and walking out of one's own path to becoming a strong person is also one's goal.

Putting the Howling Sound back on his back, Qianye prepared to go to the Wolf Territory to challenge the King Wolf of the North Wind. In fact, Qianye had no such plan at the beginning. He originally planned to go to Liyue to climb the Aozang Mountain after climbing the Snow Mountain, but during the conversation with Roland on the Snow Road.

He mentioned the Trial of Mondstadt, which is well known. Today's Mondstadt has not yet experienced the Dark Disaster, and Tvarin, the East Wind Dragon, has not fallen into a deep sleep because of the fight with Durin. Perhaps because of boredom, it will rest in the high tower of Old Mondstadt. Sometimes when the mood is good, it will accept the challenge of the brave...

Likewise, the Wolf King is still offering the trial that only the brave dare to challenge...

As for Qianye, would he think of leaving after learning about Mond's trial? That was impossible. In order to pursue power and defeat his master, he would never give up this golden opportunity...

…………

In the Wolf Run Territory, the trial ground of the Wolf King. The cuckolded boy is talking to the Wolf King Boreas...

"Hey, long time no see."

"What happened this time, you trouble-making poet?"

The wolf king roared, and his roar seemed to tear the forest apart. The cuckold boy simply straightened his hat, which was tilted slightly by the wolf king's roar, and then said:

"I just came to watch a play and collect materials..."

"Watching a show? Collecting materials? Asshole, what do you think this place is!"

The wolf king roared and stretched out his hand to slap the idle wind god to death. However, the cuckold boy quickly turned into a breeze and slipped away. Seeing him leave, the wolf king had no intention of chasing him. He just turned into a shadow and disappeared again...

At this time, Qianye had killed countless giant slimes on his way to the Wolf Territory. These things were a minor nuisance to those who went to the Wolf Territory, and their main purpose was to screen those who were going to the trial.

After all, Boreas didn't have a very good temper. If there were endless people coming to him for trials all day long, he would be annoyed to death. So he simply left some of the slimes nourished by the power of the demon god. These slimes were used to test whether the people who came for the trials were qualified...

Those who can kill the slime and walk to the Colosseum for the trial are qualified, and those who cannot walk will suffer. But it will not be fatal, because there are many wolves hiding nearby. These wolves are the followers of Boreas, and they are also the factors to prevent slimes or hill people from killing people...

"It seems that the wolf king of the north wind doesn't care about people as much as the book says. He looks kind of cute..."

Smelling the scent of wolves around him, Qianye rubbed his nose and sighed.

Then he walked on, and finally... Qianye saw the huge altar. At the same time, he also saw the red broken sword stuck in front of him. It was the sword of the Knight of the North Wind, Ravenwood... Later generations called it the Wolf's End... (Ravenwood is a character 1000 years away from the timeline of the original god. He is a member of the first generation of the Knights of Favonius. His nickname is the Knight of the North Wind. The Guardian of the North Wind among the Four Guardians of the Wind refers to him. Of course, some say it is Andrius's...)

"Well, it looks like I've arrived."

Qianye muttered to himself, and slowly jumped down the three-meter-high steps. He stretched out his hand to touch the sword of the Knight of the North Wind, and the sword turned into a phantom when he touched it. With a wolf howl...

A blue and cold wind blew around Qianye, and a giant blue wolf emerged from the wolf pattern. The giant wolf slowly walked towards Qianye.

"Young man, are you ready for the test?"

Seeing the giant wolf, Qianye's heart couldn't stop beating. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the sound of howling automatically flew from its back into his hands.

"Fight!" (crotch against face JPG)

Chapter 17 Recognition from Boreas

As soon as he finished speaking, Qianye rushed towards the giant wolf at lightning speed. The lightning element attached to the giant sword, and the chainsaw roared and spun rapidly.

With Qianye's terrifying power, the giant sword cut through the air with a sonic boom and slashed towards the giant wolf's back. However, the giant wolf did not intend to fight Qianye head-on, so it turned around and dodged the attack. Then it swung out its claws with wind elements...

Qianye turned his head and dodged the claws' attack range, but there were still attacks from the invisible place. Feeling a slight sting on his face, Qianye reached out and found a trace of blood dripping.

The giant wolf raised its claws and walked around leisurely as if it was taking a leisurely stroll, allowing Qianye to feel the flaws all over his body. Only Qianye knew that it was just a performance. As long as you launch an attack, the giant wolf will immediately counterattack.

His behavior was to observe Qianye's flaws, and the attack itself was the biggest flaw. However, if both of them did not attack, it would be impossible.

While Qianye was walking slowly sideways and thinking about countermeasures, the giant wolf's four legs immediately condensed countless ice and attacked Qianye. This was exactly what he wanted, and Qianye faced the attack and swung his sword to fight against it.

The giant wolf's feet pressed on Qianye's blade, because without flesh, the damage caused by the chainsaw would not make the king wolf feel pain. The giant wolf took this opportunity to use the wind pressure to increase its strength and exert a stronger force to press on Qianye, hoping to defeat him in one go.

What surprised the giant wolf was that even though the stone surface under Qianye's feet cracked, Qianye did not show any sign of strain, and even the hand holding the sword did not tremble at all.

"What a strong power! Your power has far surpassed that of Alandrin. However, strength alone is not enough..."

"Really? Then you better open your eyes and watch. I am not just a reckless man with strength..."

As he spoke, Qianye bent his knees slightly. Then he pushed the giant wolf that was pressing on the sword blade away with force. The giant wolf floated in the sky and then fell back to the ground gracefully.

Without much hesitation, Qianye rushed forward. Frost condensed under the giant wolf's feet, and then it swung its claws down with force. Qianye seized the opportunity to block, and then the two sides continued to attack each other.

The sharp claws and the giant sword kept colliding, and the lightning and frost were reacting with elements. After about two minutes, the giant wolf realized that it could not defeat Qianye just like this, so it retreated to avoid the subsequent collision with Qianye.

"Strength and technique are both great, so what do you do next?"

As he spoke, without waiting for Qianye's answer, a large amount of ice elements condensed under the giant wolf's feet and began to sprint around the altar around Qianye, leaving a large amount of ice elements on the ground with every step. The entire altar generated a large amount of cold air because of this phenomenon, and a large amount of ice elements were left on the road where the giant wolf ran...

Obviously, the giant wolf intended to treat Qianye as a trapped beast. The sprint was to erode Qianye's range of movement so that Qianye would be exposed to the ice element no matter what when dodging. Once touched by the ice element, the speed of the attack would be reduced. This was not a question of whether the will could be overcome, but an instinctive reaction of the body...

Faced with this method, Qianye could only stand in the middle and think about how to crack it. However, the giant wolf would not give Qianye room to think. After running to a place at a very fast speed, the giant wolf wrapped in wind and ice elements rushed towards Qianye.

There was no time to dodge, Qianye could only raise his sword to block.

The inertia brought by the sprinting speed and the original strength, even the monster Qianye was scratched by the giant wolf and a gap was created on the ground. However, he still resisted the attack. Then he swung his sword and slashed the giant wolf's face, forcing it to retreat...

"Very good, even if you have cracked this trick."

The giant wolf spoke without any wounds on his face. He stood in the center of the altar and howled toward the sky, with a large amount of wind elements gathering around him. If Qianye wanted to attack without honor at this time, he would be blown away by the process of gathering wind elements...

However, Qianye did not have this idea. He came here to practice, not to kill monsters. Doing such unethical things would not be beneficial, and would not help him grow.

As the wolf howled, the wind elements around it gradually stabilized. The blue and white color of the giant wolf had turned into a mixture of blue and white due to the gathering of wind elements. Blue illusory wolves appeared continuously around it and attacked Qianye.

Because of the giant wolf, ice cubes kept falling from the sky. When these ice cubes fell to the ground, ice elements gathered immediately. The giant wolf combined the two elements and continuously swung its claws at Qianye to attack...

Now Qianye not only had to face the giant wolf's attack, but also had to guard against the illusory wolf under his feet and the ice that kept falling from the sky. The simultaneous attack from the three even made Qianye feel a bit tricky. After comprehensive consideration, Qianye decided to give priority to defeating the giant wolf.

Ignore some small attacks, thinking this way. Qianye began to attack the giant wolf continuously, and the illusory wolf under his feet continuously attacked Qianye's lower body. However, all this could not stop Qianye's desire to attack, and after an hour.

The giant wolf howled, then slowly turned into dots of blue light and returned to the altar.

Qianye was not doing well either. His clothes were torn and his legs were bleeding from the attacks of the phantom wolf. The ice spears also pierced several large holes in his upper body shoulders, where blood was still flowing. There was even a claw mark from the giant wolf on Qianye's chest...

This was when Qianye was fighting with the giant wolf just now. He did not dodge the attack. Instead, he took the blow head-on and swung the sword to decide the outcome after seeing the opponent's weakness.

"What a thrilling battle, ha..."

Qianye was panting heavily. In this battle, he did not use the Wuxiang Sword that he learned from his master. It was not that he could not use it, but it was unnecessary. Because if he swung that sword, he would definitely win, but...

If Qianye used that move on everyone he met, he would not be able to grow. That move was completely his master's move, and she had a tactic to counter it. Therefore, Qianye had already made up his mind before practicing. If it was not a life-and-death battle, he would never use this move...

The same was true for the fight with Boreas. This was not a life-and-death fight. It was a fight of sparring. Boreas might not have used his full strength. Qianye also did not use his full strength, but Qianye looked more seriously injured. In fact, he would be able to recover in two days...

Without thinking too much, Qianye left the altar, found a big tree and fell asleep...

At night, Boreas observed Qianye for an entire afternoon. He found that this person just refused to leave and seemed quite helpless. However, he couldn't just leave him alone, so he asked a gray wolf to take Qianye to live in the wolf pack's cave.

The gray wolf came to the tree where Qianye was, howled a few times, and saw that he did not respond. So, the gray wolf jumped into his arms and licked Qianye's cheek with his tongue. After licking, Qianye woke up. After waking up, Qianye looked at the gray wolf's friendly expression and looked confused.

However, the gray wolf circled around Qianye, and then ran in one direction, howling as it ran. This behavior made Qianye understand its intention.

Soon, Qianye followed the gray wolf to the cave where the wolf pack lived. Qianye knew that this must be Boreas's arrangement. However, he did not care too much.

He thought that he should have been recognized by Boreas. With this in mind, Qianye settled down in the cave with a few wolves. After all, furry and warm wolves are really cute...

However, when Allen Delin wanted to challenge Qianye at night, he found out that Qianye had gone to challenge the Wolf of the North Wind.

Chapter 18: North Wind’s Soul Box…

"keep fighting!"

"That's enough! I don't want to accompany you in the trial anymore!"
