Jiang Xiaofeng turned around and saw Anna.
Anna is awake.
"These are my two friends. I brought them in to show off—no, I mean, to give them a tour."
La Signora, Childe: "..."
"This is Rosalyne, and this is Tartaglia."
"Your Excellencies, this is my the Queen, Anna Shaniat."
The Childe didn't react much to the title " The Queen," and gave a slight bow to Anna as she approached, saying, "Hello, Miss Anna."
Anna returned the greeting.
The La Signora seemed puzzled by the title "The Queen": "Are you a the King?"
Jiang Xiaofeng: "It's none of your business."
La Signora:"..."
Jiang Xiaofeng said no more and led the Childe away.
As they walked, he said, "Come on, Childe, let's have a fight."
The Childe and Jiang Xiaofeng left.
Anna looked at the La Signora.
Anna thought for a moment and said, "Were you captured by him, or did you go with him willingly?"
La Signora:"?"
Jiang Xiaofeng pulled the Childe to the second floor.
"Come here, Childe."
Jiang Xiaofeng turned to the Childe and said.
"Come on, don't you like fighting?"
"Come and experience a battle with me!"
Jiang Xiaofeng's gaze was intense.
If I'm sure I can defeat the Childe, then I have even more options!
The Childe clearly felt a surge of fighting spirit.
"In that case, let's go!"
The Childe raised his hand and shot out three water arrows!
Jiang Xiaofeng raised his left hand, and three water bubbles appeared out of thin air, blocking the three arrows.
"Um?"
The Childe was taken aback.
Do you Vision?
"I don't have any... Oh, no, I used to have some, but I threw it away."
Jiang Xiaofeng thought of that pitiful Vision and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Perhaps I could try using the power of that Vision to create the Elemental Hypostases...
"Even with Vision, it's useless. Come on!"
The Childe conjured a water-shaped spear and charged forward, arriving in front of Jiang Xiaofeng!
Jiang Xiaofeng touched the ground with both feet, took a half step back, and two rock-type shells appeared beside his hands, instantly transforming into two large hammers, which he smashed towards the Childe.
The Childe stopped, turned slightly, and knocked the two large hammers away with the tip of his spear, looking at Jiang Xiaofeng.
"You can use other Elemental Power?"
Jiang Xiaofeng smiled.
"Don't you think the patterns on this hammer look familiar?"
How could the Childe not recognize that those were the patterns on the shell of the Hypostasis Creature? He just couldn't guess that Jiang Xiaofeng had directly devoured the power obtained from the Hypostasis Creature.
Four light blue ice shells appeared beside Jiang Xiaofeng, continuously launching ice shards at the Childe!
The Childe decisively switched back to his bow and arrows, firing several arrows to block the onslaught of ice.
The two remained locked in a stalemate for a moment, then suddenly sprang into action simultaneously!
A large purple sword appeared in Jiang Xiaofeng's hand, and the water-shaped spear in the Childe's hand also slowly turned purple.
"Are you going to activate your Delusion now?"
Jiang Xiaofeng was taken aback.
The Childe flicked his spear, deflecting Jiang Xiaofeng's greatsword, and said, "Your Elemental Power is too unfair; how can I possibly attack you?"
"Your attack isn't how someone who wields the Vision attacks at all; it's more like an elemental being's."
Jiang Xiaofeng shrugged.
"Then let's continue."
The Childe charged forward. "Just what I wanted!"
A rock wall appeared in front of Jiang Xiaofeng, blocking the Childe's sudden thrust.
The Childe abandoned the spear, took half a step back, and detonated the Electro within it.
Jiang Xiaofeng gently raised his hand, and a force field resembling Jade Shield appeared around Jiang Xiaofeng.
Should I shout "Impeccably Fortified" to fit the occasion?
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand to dispel the force field, and a wind-elemental shell appeared on his legs, wrapped in rings of Anemo.
A long spear made of condensed Cryo appeared in Jiang Xiaofeng's hand.
The spear and the Calamity Queller weapon look similar, just like Shenhe's skills.
Yes, Jiang Xiaofeng memorized this ability while being attacked by Shenhe...
Jiang Xiaofeng thrust his spear at the Childe, Childe also raised his spear and thrust it back!
The two spears clashed briefly before separating. The Childe turned and slashed, but Jiang Xiaofeng neither dodged nor evaded, instead raising his spear and thrusting the iron tip at the Childe!
At the critical moment, the Childe dodged backward, frowning. "Are you out of your mind?"
Jiang Xiaofeng then demonstrated the Jade Shield attached to the surface of his skin.
"I'll stand here and let you stab me, you won't even be able to hurt me."
"Do you dare say I'm courting death?"
The Childe looked at the tortoise shell covering Jiang Xiaofeng's body. "..."
What happened to your old weapons and abilities?
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand.
"People should always look forward. No matter how skilled you are with cold weapons, they can't compare to extraordinary abilities like Elemental Power."
"Although I am proficient in all martial arts, I cannot withstand the power of someone with the Vision."
"Well, the only things I can't stop are those with particularly overpowered abilities, like my own."
"I used to be able to beat most other holders of the Vision to a pulp."
There are only a few people I can't beat.
Jiang Xiaofeng fell silent for a moment as he spoke.
Can I block Zhongli's Planet Befall?
The Childe remained silent.
Then, the Childe slowly floated up.
"While what you said does make a lot of sense, I still want to test the truthfulness of your words!"
The Childe's eager gaze was hidden behind the mask.
"Next, I will unleash my strongest attack. Would you like to try it?"
The Childe looked at Jiang Xiaofeng.
Jiang Xiaofeng, of course, knew what the Childe's strongest attack was, and nodded.
"Go ahead and try, I'll do my best."
Okay, I'll try to make my injury look convincing, just to save you some face.
The Childe unleashed a powerful aura, startling even the La Signora and Anna who were chatting on the first floor.
"Is that Childe master serious?"
The La Signora frowned.
"What do you mean? Are you serious?"
The La Signora nodded.
Let's go down and take a look.
The two women went down to the next floor.
As Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the enormous whale that the Childe had released, his hands glowed with an earthy yellow light.
Then, the Jade Shield unfolded.
The Childe's giant whale slowly crashed down...
In the lowest space, the Giant felt the King's Box vibrate and gave it the middle finger.
"Whoosh!"
The whale finally disappeared, and Jiang Xiaofeng below was unharmed.
Then, Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand.
Eight rock-based shells appeared around the Childe, locking him in place and causing him to fall from mid-air.
"!"
The Childe regained consciousness when he was locked up, watching himself fall, but unable to move his body...
Suddenly, the Childe stopped.
Jiang Xiaofeng released the Childe from his restraints, and the Childe quickly disarmed himself of the Foul Legacy.
"How?"
The Childe still seemed somewhat unconvinced.
"If it weren't for your freakish ability..."
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head, took out the Dream Nail, and tapped the Childe.
"If I can't beat them... I still have to get stronger..."
Jiang Xiaofeng laughed. "You're all talk and no action, aren't you?"
Okay, that's all for now.
"We'll have another chance to practice together later."
Jiang Xiaofeng and the Childe stood up and saw the La Signora and Anna who had just come down.
"How was your chat?"
The La Signora snorted coldly.
Anna smiled but remained silent.
Jiang Xiaofeng stroked his chin. "Alright."
"Want to look around some more?"
After seeing the Childe and La Signora off, Jiang Xiaofeng and Anna returned to their room.
It was almost noon when Anna finally spoke, asking, "What are your thoughts on Rosalyne?"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded. "Not necessarily."
Anna kicked Jiang Xiaofeng: "At least show some restraint! I'm still in your arms!"
"Didn't you ask first...?"
"You still dare to say that!..."
After playing around with Anna for a while, Jiang Xiaofeng said seriously, "That girl's obsession runs very deep, and I have no interest in untying that knot in her heart."
"If she really goes berserk, I'll be the first to kill her and extract the power of fire from her."
