Chapter Summaries

After saving Dvalin, Li Qiuzhi gained the Rending Gale specialty, which let him channel Anemo without a Vision, and revealed to Lumine and Paimon that he came from another world. Back at home, he raised his level to 30, and Lumine began teaching him how to control Anemo.

• Li Qiuzhi obtained the Rending Gale specialty after the adventure of saving Dvalin, giving him the ability to channel Anemo without a Vision.
• Lumine and Paimon noticed Li Qiuzhi acting strangely, and he demonstrated his new Anemo ability before telling them he was not native to Teyvat.
• Lumine told Li Qiuzhi that she and her brother had arrived in Teyvat together, but an unknown god had taken her brother and stripped her of her power.

• At home, Li Qiuzhi spent 8,400 experience points to rise from level 27 to level 30.
• After dinner, Lumine began the lesson by gathering Anemo in her palm so Li Qiuzhi could practice channeling it.

Li Qiuzhi learned to control Anemo with Lumine’s help, then told Amber and Jean that he came from another world. After receiving Brave Heart Artifacts, he joined Lumine, Paimon, and Amber to search for places damaged by the Wind Disaster and put up notices for Lumine’s brother.

• Lumine helped Li Qiuzhi practice controlling Anemo until he successfully gathered it on his own.

• Jean gave Li Qiuzhi and Lumine two sets of Brave Heart Artifacts as promised.
• Amber invited Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon to help post missing-person notices for Lumine’s brother and clear Wind Disaster debris, and they headed to the headquarters’ roof.

Amber took Li Qiuzhi and Lumine to the Knights of Favonius Headquarters roof to clear debris and post a missing-person notice, then began their Wind Glider license test. Lumine activated the roof’s Teleport Waypoint, prompting Jean and Lisa to investigate before Amber started teaching the flight rules.

• Amber explained that the Headquarters’ second floor stored files and offered a place to rest, then led everyone onto the roof to clear debris and prepare a missing-person notice.
• Amber told Li Qiuzhi and Lumine they needed Flight Licenses and gave them a book to study, while Paimon noticed an inactive Teleport Waypoint atop the nearby spire.
• Lumine explained how Teleport Waypoints worked, activated the rooftop device, and took Amber and Li Qiuzhi to another waypoint and back.
• Amber reported the discovery to Jean, who brought Lisa to examine the activated waypoint; Lisa theorized it let travelers move through the ley lines between key nodes.
• Amber returned to find that she had given Li Qiuzhi and Lumine the wrong book, then taught them the Wind Glider rules and began their flight test.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon completed their Flight License tests and helped Amber clear debris and post missing-person notices around Mondstadt. At the blacksmith’s, Li Qiuzhi collected his Elemental Arrows and met Bennett, who said he had been looking for him.

• Amber explained the Flight License test and warned Li Qiuzhi and Lumine not to fly carelessly in Mondstadt.

After Bennett reported dangerous flying wolves in Wolvendom, Katheryne assigned Lumine, Li Qiuzhi, Bennett, Paimon, Fischl, and Oz to investigate them. The party set out on a high-risk commission worth two million Mora.

• Bennett told Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon that strange, vicious wolves had appeared in Wolvendom and nearly injured him.
• Li Qiuzhi collected sixty hydro ore arrows from Wagner, and the group reported the monsters to Katheryne at the Adventurers' Guild.
• Katheryne asked Lumine to lead the investigation, and the group agreed to prepare supplies before setting out.
• Fischl and Oz joined the party after Branch President Cyrus assigned them to help investigate.
• Cyrus issued the commission with a high danger rating and a payment of two million Mora, and the temporary party departed for Wolvendom.

Li Qiuzhi and the others learned that Rifthounds had injured Springvale hunters and reached the road near the village. They took over the fight from Draff’s hunters and prepared a sneak attack on the pack’s powerful leader.

• Li Qiuzhi met Draff in Springvale and learned that strange wolf-like monsters had wounded hunters in Wolvendom with bleeding scratches.
• A hunter reported that the monsters had appeared near the village, so Draff and the temporary adventuring party hurried to the road.
• The group spotted a large Rifthound and its smaller companions, and Li Qiuzhi warned Draff that the hunters could not handle them.
• Li Qiuzhi and the others agreed to fight while Draff’s hunters held back, and Paimon proposed a sneak attack on the leader.
• Li Qiuzhi identified an old wound on the leader for Fischl to target, while the group decided to save Bennett’s Elemental Burst for emergencies.

Li Qiuzhi and the others defeated a group of Rifthounds near Springvale, then followed Draff’s lead to investigate Wolfhook woods in Wolvendom. As night fell, a much larger pack surrounded their campsite, apparently drawn by the scent of their fallen companions.

• Li Qiuzhi warned the hunters to retreat from the Rifthounds’ counterattack, and he, Fischl, Bennett, Oz, and Lumine defeated five monsters together.
• Li Qiuzhi advised Draff’s hunting party to avoid Wolvendom and asked whether they had found clues about where the Rifthounds came from.
• Draff said the injured hunters had encountered the creatures elsewhere in Wolvendom’s Wolfhook woods, so the adventuring party set out to investigate.
• Li Qiuzhi asked Draff and the hunters to take the defeated Rifthounds to the Adventurers’ Guild and the Knights of Favonius for study.
• The party camped in Wolvendom near dusk, where three Rifthounds and more than a dozen Rifthound Whelps approached and surrounded them.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, Fischl, and Bennett fought off a cunning pack of Rifthounds that used deeper space to ambush them. After the group regrouped and killed many of the whelps, Bennett unleashed Fantastic Voyage to turn the fight around.

• The Rifthounds split up and attacked the group with coordinated ambushes from deeper space.
• Li Qiuzhi killed a Rifthound Whelp with his Pyro-coated sword and then drove off another Rifthound as it emerged behind him.
• Fischl killed the whelps attacking her, but one bit her calf and left her bleeding from corrosion.
• Li Qiuzhi called the others to regroup, then used Pyro-infused arrows to free Bennett from the whelps biting him.
• Bennett used Passion Overload to kill a whelp, then activated Fantastic Voyage and created an Inspiring Field.

Li Qiuzhi and his companions defeated the Rift monsters at the temporary camp, but a pack of wolves and Razor arrived during the battle. After helping bring down the last Rifthound, Razor asked why the party had come to Wolvendom.

• Bennett healed the party and strengthened them with his Elemental Burst, and they fought off the attacking Rift monsters.
• Lumine, Fischl, Oz, and Bennett defeated several Rifthounds while Li Qiuzhi wounded another.
• Paimon spotted wolves approaching, and Li Qiuzhi killed one severely wounded Rifthound with Pyro-infused arrows.
• Li Qiuzhi kept the last Rifthound from escaping until two wild wolves dragged it down and Razor attacked it.
• Razor thanked the party and asked why they had come to Wolvendom.

Razor joined Li Qiuzhi and the others in investigating the Rifthound Monsters, offering to use his Lupical to track them. As the group moved camp, Li Qiuzhi upgraded his stealth skill into a secret-art-tier ability that could conceal his presence and last for an hour.

• Razor explained that the wolves were his family, Lupical, and agreed to help investigate the Rifthound Monsters.
• Li Qiuzhi asked Razor to locate the monsters, and Bennett suggested using crushed grass to mask their scent before Li Qiuzhi volunteered to scout invisibly.
• The group agreed that Razor and Lupical would find the monsters while Li Qiuzhi scouted, with the others ready to support him.
• The adventurers collected the Rifthound Monsters' claws and moved to a safer campsite.
• Li Qiuzhi spent 3,900 experience points to evolve Stealth Assassination Art into Form Concealment: Secret Art, which concealed his presence and lasted an hour.

Li Qiuzhi raised his Archery skill to Secret Art level and joined Lumine and Paimon in observing Rifthound Monsters that were collecting prey. After they began carrying the food away, the group prepared to follow them and investigate what lay behind their behavior.

• Li Qiuzhi fused Sin-Cleansing Arrow with Favonius Hunter's Archery, creating the Secret Art Arrow That Shoots Down the World.
• Razor, Bennett, Fischl, and the others searched Wolvendom for Rifthound Monsters while Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon investigated a group collecting prey.
• Lumine guessed that the Rifthounds might be gathering food for a leader, and Li Qiuzhi considered whether the Golden Wolflord could be involved.
• Paimon spotted the Rifthounds carrying their prey away.

After Lumine fell onto Li Qiuzhi, the group followed the Abyssal Rift monsters to a gathering in Wolvendom. Li Qiuzhi discovered they were widening a spatial rift to bring more monsters, including the Golden Wolflord, into Teyvat, and proposed harassing them with long-range arrows.

• Lumine slipped from a tree branch and fell onto Li Qiuzhi, who caught her; they got up, and Lumine thanked him.
• Lumine, Paimon, and Li Qiuzhi followed the Abyssal Rift monsters to an area where dozens had gathered.
• Li Qiuzhi used Form Concealment to approach and saw some Rifthounds share prey while others used Corrosion to widen a spatial rift.
• Li Qiuzhi realized the monsters were trying to open a path for more of their kind, including the Golden Wolflord, to enter Teyvat.
• Lumine warned that attacking the gathered monsters directly would be dangerous, so Li Qiuzhi suggested delaying them with arrows fired from a distance.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon tested his long-range arrow to disrupt the Rifthound Monsters’ attack on a spatial rift. After killing ten monsters and drawing the pack’s full attention, they fled to meet Fischl and the others.

• Lumine agreed to Li Qiuzhi’s plan, and Paimon flew ahead to guide his aim from the hidden grove.
• Li Qiuzhi shot a Rifthound Whelp from over three hundred meters away, alerting the monsters without revealing their location.
• Paimon discovered the spatial rift began repairing itself whenever the Rifthounds stopped corroding it, so the trio continued attacking them.
• After the tenth Rifthound fell, the pack searched in full force for the hidden attackers.
• Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon fled to regroup with Fischl and the others.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon reunited with Fischl’s group after disrupting the Rifthound Monsters’ effort to widen the spatial rift, but the monsters pursued them. Razor led everyone to the trial grounds of Andrius, which he claimed was safe.

• Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon reached Oz and learned that Fischl, Bennett, and Razor were waiting nearby.
• Li Qiuzhi told Fischl’s group that they had angered the Rifthound Monsters and urged everyone to retreat.
• Razor and the wolves spotted Rifthound Monsters approaching, and Oz warned that more were gathering beyond the hill.
• The group fled as the monsters used their spatial movement to close the distance, so Razor led them toward a safe place.
• Razor brought everyone to the enormous sunken ruins of Andrius’s trial grounds, leaving Paimon puzzled about how the open ruins could protect them.

Li Qiuzhi and his companions fled a pack of Rifthounds into a ruined pit, where Andrius, the Wolf of the North, destroyed the monsters and demanded they face his trial in return for his help. Li Qiuzhi, Bennett, Lumine, and Fischl agreed to fight him.

• Li Qiuzhi explained that Razor had sensed pure elemental traces, and Fischl accused him of imitating her ability before he promised to explain how to obtain it.
• A large pack of Rifthounds appeared, so Li Qiuzhi led the group into the ruined pit to escape their attack.
• Razor and the gray wolves stopped as icy mist filled the pit, and Andrius appeared and froze the pursuing Rifthounds into dust.
• Andrius recognized Razor and told Li Qiuzhi's group they must face his trial because they had received his help without earning it.
• Li Qiuzhi, Bennett, Lumine, and Fischl accepted the trial, while Razor and Paimon were excused.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, Fischl, and Bennett began the Wolf of the North’s trial, struggling to fight him in a Cryo mist that obscured their vision. The Wolf targeted Lumine after she gathered the mist into a Wind Vortex, and the chapter ended as Fischl and Bennett tried to stop his charge.

• Razor and Paimon watched the trial, and Razor doubted the group could defeat the Wolf of the North.
• The Wolf of the North lowered his strength to level 40, and Li Qiuzhi and the others prepared to fight.
• The Wolf concealed himself in Cryo mist and charged along paths of ice, while Li Qiuzhi landed Pyro arrows and the group dodged his attacks.
• Lumine used Anemo to draw in the mist and reveal the Wolf, but she lost control of the gathered Cryo and could not move safely.
• The Wolf charged at Lumine, and Fischl sent Oz to strike him while Bennett attacked with his Pyro-coated sword and was blasted away by the resulting Overloaded reaction.

Li Qiuzhi and his companions fought the Wolf of the North, who repeatedly overpowered them despite holding back his strength. The Wolf began a storm of Anemo and Cryo across the trial arena, challenging them to withstand his next attack.

• Li Qiuzhi tackled Lumine away from the Wolf's icy blast and took the explosion's force, then recovered while Lumine checked on him.
• The Wolf targeted Li Qiuzhi as the party's main damage dealer, but Li Qiuzhi and Lumine dodged his plunge and counterattacked with their companions.
• The Wolf tricked Lumine into attacking his head, trapped her with his tail, and threw her into Li Qiuzhi, sending them both crashing into a wall.
• Li Qiuzhi warned Lumine and Bennett to avoid close combat, while Bennett offered to use his Elemental Burst to strengthen the party.
• The Wolf declared that they would pass the trial if they endured his next strike, then gathered Anemo and Cryo and unleashed a storm of wind and hail across the arena.

Rosalyne ordered Anastasia to find the bard holding the Holy Lyre der Himmel while the Fatui denied responsibility for the theft. After passing Andrius’s trial, Li Qiuzhi and his companions received their rewards and learned that the foreign black wolf monsters came from the Abyssal Rift.

• Rosalyne criticized Anastasia’s failed mission and ordered her to locate the bard with the Holy Lyre der Himmel.
• Anastasia asked how the Fatui should answer the Knights of Favonius, and Rosalyne told her to deny knowing the captured Electro Cicin Mage.
• Li Qiuzhi, Bennett, Lumine, and Fischl endured Andrius’s blizzard attack and passed his trial.
• Andrius rewarded the group with a Northlander Sword Billet and ascension materials, and Bennett accepted the billet after the others urged him to take it.
• Andrius told the group that the black wolf monsters came from the Abyssal Rift and were creations of Gold.

Andrius explained how Rhinedottir and the Rifthound Monsters were connected to Khaenri'ah, and warned the group to eliminate the creatures before they grew stronger. After activating a Teleport Waypoint and returning to Mondstadt, Li Qiuzhi and his companions went to report to Jean, where they found Albedo already visiting her.

• Andrius told Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, Paimon, and Bennett that Rhinedottir's alchemy had caused disasters and that the Rifthound Monsters were trying to invade Teyvat.
• Li Qiuzhi and the others decided to clear the remaining Rifthound Monsters and asked Razor to guide them to a nearby Teleport Waypoint.
• Lumine activated the Teleport Waypoint, then brought the group back to Mondstadt City in two trips.
• Li Qiuzhi suggested they report the Rifthound Monsters' activity to Jean before turning in their commission.
• Li Qiuzhi and his companions entered Jean's office and found Albedo there.

Li Qiuzhi and his companions reported the Rifthound threat to Jean, turned in their commission, and received their reward. After kissing Fischl to demonstrate his supposed ability, Li Qiuzhi left with Lumine and Paimon and gained the North Wind specialty for completing the adventure.

• Jean heard Li Qiuzhi's report about the Rifthounds, and Albedo explained that their bodies contained dangerous otherworldly blood and that their claws were valuable alchemical materials.
• Jean arranged for the Reconnaissance Company to regroup and clear Wolvendom, while Albedo asked the Knights to collect Rifthound claws for study.
• Fischl submitted the mission records to Katheryne, collected the commission reward, and asked Li Qiuzhi how he had gained his fantasy ability.
• Li Qiuzhi kissed Fischl and claimed the kiss could awaken her Eye of Condemnation; Fischl blushed, threatened him, and declared that he could be her lover but would remain her attendant.
• Li Qiuzhi rejoined Lumine and Paimon, then received the North Wind specialty, which gave his attacks a small chance to penetrate elemental shields.
