Ying shook her head.
" Tatarasuna, that's Inazuma's."
" Watatsumi Island originally belonged to Inazuma."
"You're only fighting the Shogunate because of the Vision Hunt Decree; don't go further down the path of resistance!"
" Raiden Shogun's power is something you cannot withstand!"
Ying tried to persuade Teppei's group to retreat to Watatsumi Island and not to try to resist Raiden Shogun's rule.
Little did they know, Teppei was determined to take this action and had no intention of changing his mind.
Teppei's smile vanished, and he spoke indifferently.
"Ying, you truly deserve to be called Traveler. Seito can give you any attachment or sense of belonging."
"Everything I'm doing now isn't just to relieve Lord Orobashi's worries; I'm considering the future of Watatsumi Island."
"There is still arable land on Watatsumi Island now, but what about in the future? The population of Watatsumi Island will only increase."
"We can't just cling to that small plot of land and barely make ends meet."
"We on Watatsumi Island also need land to survive... Never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told Traveler this."
"Since you, Traveler, are not going to back down, then let's fight."
Ying was stunned and quickly waved her hands. "No, I don't want to fight you!"
Teppei shook his head.
"The people of Watatsumi Island will never submit to Raiden Shogun's rule."
"Lord Orobashi advocates for peace talks because he has only revived his memories; his power has not been restored."
"All we can do is share the burden with the adults..."
"Further words are pointless, Ying. Since you have no intention of returning to Watatsumi Island's camp, then we are enemies."
"Brothers, retreat! The Traveler only has one fighter; I'll take her one-on-one."
The Coral Army behind nodded and retreated a short distance.
Come, my friend.
Black lightning crackled around Teppei's body, and his figure vanished instantly.
When Ying sensed something was off about Teppei's tone, she told Xavier behind her to go and turn on the machine to the side, so he wouldn't get involved in the situation.
So, standing behind Ying was Teppei, who had suddenly appeared.
"Ying, show the brothers what you've got."
Teppei thrust his spear into the ground, and Electro swept towards Ying, skimming along the earth.
Ying rolled away to dodge the attack and drew her Blood Sword.
"You play such an important role."
Teppei's figure disappeared again, reappearing above Ying's head.
With a flick of his spear, more than a dozen spears formed from condensed Electro blocked Ying's path.
Left with no other choice, Ying had to use the Palm Vortex and the Starfell Sword to shatter these spears.
"Burst!"
Teppei landed some distance away and called out.
The spears that Ying hadn't managed to shatter exploded instantly, and Ying, barely managing to defend herself, was blasted away.
" Thunderclap Drumbeat!"
Ying drew upon a massive amount of Electro in the air, which coalesced into three taiko drums behind her.
"Drink it!"
Ying flicked her Blood Sword, the crimson blade flashing with purple light as a barrage of Thunder Shuriken shot out from its tip, attacking Li Teppei.
Teppei remained completely calm, and he planted Kitain Cross Spear into the ground.
"Out!"
Teppei shouted and kicked out his spear.
Ying was still wondering why Teppei had kicked her spear over when she saw the spear release Electro Electro in the air, enveloping the entire spear and rapidly taking shape.
Soon, Kitain Cross Spear transformed into a giant purple snake and lunged at Ying!
"Is this all you've got, Teppei!"
Ying shouted and stomped her right foot hard on the ground.
Layer upon layer of rock crystals burst forth from the ground, directly blocking the giant serpent's sudden attack.
Ying threw out the Thunder Shuriken again, gathering Palm Vortex on both sides, mixing the three elements together!
"Boom!"
The Geo particles, which were being controlled by Ying and turned into fragments, were blown out by the Palm Vortex imbued with Electro, and the intense pressure caused the ball of Elemental Power to explode instantly!
Razer took the hit head-on and quickly returned to Teppei's hand, transforming into a spear.
"Ying, you've gotten even stronger again."
Teppei leaned on Kitain Cross Spear and said calmly.
Ying, panting, held the Blood Sword to Teppei, saying nothing.
"However, we can end it here now."
Teppei tossed Kitain Cross Spear into the sky, and the giant serpent reappeared, transforming into a pile of armor. Drawn by the Electro emanating from Teppei, it attached itself to Teppei's armor.
The red marks on the Blood Coral spread upwards along the armor formed by the giant serpent, finally settling on its back.
The original spear had disappeared, replaced by armor-like weaponry.
The weapon was no longer a spear, but a pair of sharp, purple Snake Fangs in his left and right hands...
Teppei let out a breath.
"Ying, I really didn't expect you to have become even stronger in such a short time. In that case, I'll have to use my strongest abilities to fight you."
Teppei's voice came from beneath the mask formed by the giant serpent's head.
Ying wiped her mouth, then stood ready again.
While Teppei and Ying were locked in a life-or-death struggle, Jiang Xiaofeng had already arrived in the Nation of Grass — Sumeru.
"Hmm, to be honest, the statue of the Lesser Lord Kusanali is quite strange."
Jiang Xiaofeng followed the direction of the statue westward.
Jiang Xiaofeng wasn't interested in Collei or Tighnari.
One is a man, and the other is rather ordinary in every way... No, wait.
Jiang Xiaofeng stopped at Gandharva Ville.
" The Eleazar... seems worth studying."
Jiang Xiaofeng landed at the very top of Gandharva Ville and quickly spotted Collei had just woken up.
"You little brat, you're getting a good deal."
With a flick of his wrist, Jiang Xiaofeng transformed the green Grass-type Vision into the black Void Eye.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I hope you can pique my interest..."
Jiang Xiaofeng disappeared.
Meanwhile, Collei was just about to put on her clothes when she discovered that her Vision had changed.
Is this still my Vision?
Looking at the black Vision, Collei felt not fear, but rather curiosity.
Collei particularly found the small Void Heart image in the center of the Void Eye quite cute.
"You should still bring it."
"Come out, Cuilein-Anbar!"
Using the power of the Void Eye, Collei summoned his companion, Cuilein-Anbar.
"It's still the same Cuilein-Anbar... so has my Vision been altered?"
Collei was somewhat helpless.
"Was it secretly switched by some child? Or did the master draw this pattern to make things better for me...?"
Collei put on his clothes, donned the Vision, and left the room.
Unbeknownst to Collei, the Void Power within the Void Eye was seeping into Collei body, attempting to understand the Eleazar afflicting Collei...
Jiang Xiaofeng guessed that this Eleazar was the " Withering Zone " that grew on people's bodies. The Withering Zone of Sumeru was where mushroom or fungus-like monsters were born, while normally, mushrooms would grow in large quantities on trees that were about to die...
In another timeline, Jiang Xiaofeng dismantled the bodies of many artificially created patients with the Eleazar, and already had a solution for how to treat it.
The reason I was interested in the Eleazar on Collei was simply because it was strange.
In that timeline, although the Withering Zone existed in the Sumeru region at the end of the Archon War, the Eleazar had not yet appeared.
So, what the heck is Collei from Gandharva Ville?
Is Collei really that unlucky?
