The Joy of Reunion
After a brief exchange, Jax had a general understanding of Talon's strength, and his thoughts were similar to mine:
"You're quick and strong, a fine assassin, but you lack a suitable weapon. Those throwing knives can only distract the Vastaya, not harm them. 🐍😂 🍮🎁"
"Ha, then there's nothing I can do. My throwing knives were forged by a master craftsman; they're excellent in both sharpness and toughness, but the Vastaya's skin is just too tough."
I have a dagger here; you might find it useful.
After speaking, Jax pulled a short dagger from his waist. It was bright red and the blade was gleaming. "This was given to me by my friend Draktharr. It's called Blade of the Ruined King. See if you find it easy to use."
So this is the Blade of the Ruined King from the game; giving it to Talon is making the best use of it.
He took it and stroked the blade with his hand, his joy as if he had seen his beloved girl:
"Thank you, Master. I will certainly not let this Blade of the Ruined King down!"
After Talon got his desired weapon, he left, and Jax, like Teacher handing out candy, gave him treats one by one.
Next up was Lee Sin. He clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect to Jax, and then directly stated his question.
Firstly, in terms of endurance, Lee Sin's Dragon Soul is extremely powerful, but its duration is too short, often requiring a rest after only a few hours of fighting.
In addition, the Dragon Soul burned his body. Every time he used it, his body felt like it was on fire, and his mind was violently turbulent, as if he was about to go berserk.
Ultimately, it comes down to insufficient physical strength, or rather, an inability to withstand the side effects of the Dragon Soul.
Jax possesses formidable Martial Arts and may even have some rare treasures, but he is neither a god nor a divine healer, and cannot solve this kind of problem.
"Experts of your level should have sufficient stamina. The reason you're experiencing this is because you're controlling power that's not commensurate with your body. If you can't improve your stamina, you can try reducing the amount of power you release. Let me see you use Dragon Soul."
Please advise!
After Lee Sin finished speaking, he summoned the soul of the dragon. Everyone around him took a few steps back, and even Rebeca was taken aback.
"What kind of power is this? It actually makes me feel fear!"
"This is Four-Clawed Flying Dragon, a legendary creature."
"Four-Clawed Flying Dragon, how terrifying! If such a creature truly exists, it must be a world-destroying being!"
"Whether it can destroy the heavens and the earth is hard to say, but it probably has no rivals below the level of a true god."
Jax remained silent for a moment after seeing Lee Sin's Dragon Soul, realizing he was powerless to do anything about it; such power was beyond his comprehension.
However, Jax could teach Lee Sin a few moves to address his specific issues, which could be incorporated into his boxing techniques to reduce stamina consumption. Jax decided to provide him with individual instruction that evening.
Lee Sin stepped aside, and the members of the Kinkou Order also lined up, first Akali, then Shen, and then Li, Tianshu...
By the time the experts from the other sects had finished their duels, another day had passed, and only Rebeca, Jax, Lee Sin, and I remained on the field.
"I've been waiting all day, you must have something to talk to me about, Yasuo?"
"No rush, you teach Lee Sin first. We can talk all night long; we don't need to sleep anyway, so we have plenty of time!"
"Haha, okay."
Rebeca and I watched Jax's instructions intently. After a day, Rebeca had come to acknowledge his skill.
"You stay here and watch. I'm going to find that girl named Irelia. I'll be back in a bit."
Do you want me to come with you?
"You want to hear women talking?"
"Uh, never mind then, you go by yourself."
Rebeca left with a smile, leaving me alone to watch.
I didn't waste my time that day; on the contrary, I learned a lot. For example, the move Jax taught the Sword Saint was very useful.
I often use powerful finishing moves, but they don't always work. They're okay against clumsy enemies, but not so effective against more agile ones.
Replacing the killing move with a fast sword strike might have a surprising effect, and there are many other techniques we can learn from...
Just as I was concentrating on my thoughts, a wisp of Light Element energy approached. I turned around and saw Varus and Renekton walking quickly toward me.
"Yasuo, how's the situation here?"
"You've come at just the right time. Aatrox is launching his attack in a few days; it's likely to be the decisive battle of this war."
"Okay, Renekton and I will go ahead. Camille and the others will be here tomorrow. Let's face the enemy together!"
"Good! We've found out about Azir, but we haven't located Djis or Oken. I'm worried about them..."
"Don't worry, they've escaped. The Queen rescued them, and they're still recovering from their injuries. It's uncertain whether they'll be able to join the war."
"Sivir saved them?"
"Yes, I was surprised too, but that's what Djis said."
Varus is probably right, but I have some doubts. While they were arguing with Azir, Sivir should have been in the eastern forest. When did she find the time to rescue Djis and Oken?
But now that Calista is with her, who knows, she might go back to Shurima sometime!
In short, this is good news. If the two can recover soon, our strength will be even greater!
"Oh, by the way, I'm going to take you to meet someone in a bit; you'll definitely be very happy!"
"Who are you seeing, Yasuo? Is it the Queen?" Renekton didn't like beating around the bush.
"No, but almost."
"What do you mean 'almost'! Now that the Emperor has sided with the Vastaya, I care about no one in the world except the Queen!"
Before she could finish speaking, Rebeca suddenly appeared behind us and gave Renekton a hard knock on the head:
"You don't even care about me?"
"Oh my... Teacher? What are you doing here!"
"Lady Rebeca!"
Just as I expected, Varus and Renekton were both pleasantly surprised, especially Renekton, who I didn't realize was actually his teacher and student.
"If you can be here, why can't I? I heard you were sealed away with that evil sorcerer, how did you escape?"
"Yasuo and my brother released me, and then the Queen purified me."
"Queen?"
Rebeca was puzzled, so I quickly explained, "It's Sivir, the one I told you about who can use Khopesh."
"Oh? To have gained your approval, it seems she really does resemble Shetaka."
Varus continued, "Yes, not only Renekton, but I was also affected by the Void and became Vastaya. It was the Queen who saved me with her blood."
"That's really interesting! I want to go see Shetaka's reincarnation when I have time!"
