The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

"How about this, help me taste the new dishes I made, give me your opinion, and then I will take you to meet Beidou-san, how about it?"

The little cook's words made Xia Yu look at the food Xiangling brought to the table. Judging from the appearance, it was a pot of spicy soup. The shells of various small seafood were soaked in spicy water. In the soup, it seems that for the convenience of eating, the meat of various clam shells has been shaved off and cleaned in advance.

The combination of spiciness and seafood. When Xia Yu filled a small bowl and was about to taste it, the rice dumplings on the side seemed to have been prepared in advance as if they were not afraid of being hot.The little guy who gulped down a whole bowl of clam shell meat and soup suddenly turned red and looked like he was very spicy.

"Lulu...!" Despite this, the chubby Guo Ba still made a very happy voice, and it sounded like he admired this dish very much.

It looks good... I picked up a spoon and scooped up a small piece of scallops with the soup and put it into my mouth. The spicy feeling suddenly occupied the entire mouth. The blood flow in the whole body accelerated, and drops of sweat started to form. Xia Yu was hooked on the fresh and spicy chicken soup that was oozing out from his forehead and mixed with the spicy flavor of Jueyun pepper.

Next is the sweet feeling that spreads in your mouth when you bite into the various clam shell meats that seem to have been specially processed. After being baptized by the spicy taste, the sweet and fresh taste on the tongue is even more obvious.I wonder if Xiangling added something strange to the dish. The small seafood cooked with the spicy chicken soup still retains its delicious and firm texture, but it is completely cooked.

"What a wonderful combination... first the combination of the ultimate deliciousness and spiciness of poultry, and then when you bite into the scallops, the freshness and sweetness of the seafood are softened in your mouth. It's a huge jump in taste experience. Very good!" After giving his own evaluation, Xia Yu first looked at Master Mao, who was also suffering from sweat beads on his forehead, and then turned his eyes to Xiang Ling, who had a proud expression.

"How does this seafood maintain its original taste? If it is just added with gravy, the tenderness can be guaranteed, but the spiciness should penetrate into the scallops and affect the sweet taste... Could it be another monster?"

"That's right! It's a monster, but let me keep it a secret~" Xiang Ling replied to Xia Yu with a naughty smile on her face.

"Xia Yu, you are going to see Sister Beidou, right? Wait a moment, I will take you there after I pack up."

Chapter 172 Xia Yu: I really volunteered to participate in the martial arts competition...

In order to reach the berthing place of the Southern Cross fleet faster, Xia Yu, who hired a boatman at the dock, arrived at Guyun Pavilion with Xiang Ling and Guo Ba. To their surprise, there should be no Guyun Pavilion, which a few people even regarded as a habitat for monsters, was now full of people. Judging from the excitement of everyone gearing up, it seemed that something big was going to happen here soon.

"Hey~ I didn't expect that Guyun Pavilion could become so lively." Xiangling, who had not expected the crowds, was surprised. As a member who had traveled with the Southern Cross fleet, how many people were on Beidou's ship? The crew member Xiang Ling knew it all.

"It seems that Sister Beidou is organizing some event. How about we go and ask?" The little cook pointed to the crowd with an excited expression. But after the initial curiosity passed, the little cook's face There was a little regret on his face, and then he muttered softly.

"Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to find some ingredients. Now for the safety of the event, I don't have to think about it. Sister Beidou must have taken care of the surrounding area..."

This... After hearing Xiang Ling's casual thoughts, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on Xia Yu's forehead. As a person in the same industry who knows the essence of Xiang Ling's cuisine, Xia Yu understands that the raw materials mentioned by Xiang Ling cannot be referring to those who can The birds and beasts that were easily captured and sold in the market were actually monsters that were originally active in the Guyun Pavilion area.

Although elemental power is nothing to people with the Eye of God, from the perspective of ordinary people, elemental power is harmful if it enters the body.If an extremely small amount of elemental power remains in the body, it may only make people feel uncomfortable, and they can recover after a short rest or half a day. However, if too much elemental power remains, things will become dangerous.

It can range from a few days for a minor illness to a month or two for a serious illness. If there is some reaction between the elemental forces that have invaded the body, congratulations, the VIP seat in the Hall of Rebirth should be waving to you.Therefore, unless the food cooked by Xiang Ling is a monster dish that is sure to remove all elemental power, it will not be easily served to ordinary people's tables.

As for those who have the eyes of God, in a sense, while they are enjoying Xiangling’s special monster dishes, they also have the extremely subtle identity of tasting the guinea pigs. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people The diners who would still ask to try it even if they knew it was dangerous.

Everyone in Liyue escaped another disaster... Xia Yu, who was secretly feeling lucky for these people, shook his head, and then followed Xiang Ling as he walked among the crowd.Within a few minutes, the two stopped in front of a woman with an eyepatch over her left eye and long black hair.

"Long time no see, Sister Beidou." Xiang Ling, who had found the rightful owner, immediately greeted Beidou. The smiling little cook made this slender woman in her twenties turn her head.

"Hey, isn't this Xiangling? You are also here to watch the Southern Cross Fighting Conference I organized, right?" The woman with her hands on her hips and a proud expression pointed at the Southern Cross crew member who was in charge of registration. The long queue surprised Xia Yu who looked in the direction.

In the long queue, no one, male or female, old or young, was left behind. The young woman in charge of the review was frowning, as if she was troubled by the qualifications of some of them.Moreover, from Xia Yu's own point of view, at least half of the people in the queue could not participate in the martial arts competition at all, compared to the gray-haired old man in the middle of the queue who was already trembling just by standing... .

What kind of martial arts tournament could attract so many people to sign up like crazy regardless of their own conditions?After thinking about it for a long time, Xia Yu could only think of one result, that is, the rewards of the competition would be quite attractive.

While Xia Yu was observing the scene, Beidou's eyes also turned to Xia Yu, who came with Xiangling. Beidou's eyes lit up when he saw Xia Yu.

With a height of nearly two meters, he was definitely among the tallest in this crowded place. The loose short-sleeved clothes made of linen and yarn blend could not hide his strong physique at all.

What's more important is the bulging muscles on this man's arms. Compared with people who like to exercise, although this man's muscles are not as exaggerated as theirs, which are built together like pieces of steel, they are casual. The perfect elasticity and vitality displayed by the muscles when the arms are flexed show that the explosive power hidden in this body is definitely more than twice as powerful as those who can only practice to death.

Beidou, who was interested, immediately patted Xiang Ling on the shoulder, then pointed at Xia Yu, who was still observing the people queuing up, and asked: "Xiang Ling, your friend is in such good shape, he is also here to participate in the martial arts competition?"

However, after hearing this, Xiang Ling shook her head. Looking at Beidou who looked a little confused, Xiang Ling replied: "No, Xia Yu is just a chef. We have exchanged cooking skills. This time he had something to ask for help from, Sister Beidou, so I brought him here."

Xia Yu?I must have heard this name somewhere recently. The familiar name made Beidou start to recall.After a while, Beidou recalled the situation when he met with Ying a few days ago and showed a look of realization.

yes!The traveler who helped the boss of Liyue Port mentioned to the little thing next to her that they and a man named Xia Yu wanted to take their own ship to Daozhi. What he promised at that time was that if they If they can get the No. 1 spot in the Southern Cross Fighting Tournament, then I will take them to Inazuma.

And Ningguang seems to have mentioned that this guy named Xia Yu is very powerful in a sense.Now, just by looking at the figure of this man named Xia Yu, one can detect the authenticity of Ningguang's words. Even if one does not see the Eye of God in his accessories, he is definitely extraordinary.

How could this person, who seemed to be very good at fighting, want to get a ticket to Inazuma from him without coming to the Southern Cross Fighting Tournament?Thinking of this, Beidou reached out and patted Xiang Ling's shoulder, then nodded happily.

"Since he is your friend Xiangling, I will help you with this. However, judging from his physique, he should be considered a very capable fighter among ordinary people. Since you are already here, why not come and join me? Let’s take a look at the Southern Cross Fighting Tournament held?”

"You know, the origin of the prize this time is not trivial. This is the Eye of God funded by a brother from Daozhu as the championship prize. Your friend doesn't have the Eye of God anyway, so why not let him participate too, in case this happens? Was the Eye of God activated by him?"

The conversation between the two reached the ears of Xia Yu, who was impressed by the large number of participants. Xia Yu, who learned that the prize for the winner of the competition was actually the Eye of God, immediately understood why so many people came to participate in the competition organized by Beidou The Southern Cross Fighting Conference.

This is an opportunity for ordinary people to come into contact with the Eyes of God!To know the origin of the Eye of God is somewhat mysterious to anyone.Moreover, there are countless benefits for ordinary people to obtain the Eye of God, so there are not a few people who come to participate in the Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament to try their luck.

After all, this is the luck of being a holder of the Eye of God. What if it happens to me?Xia Yu, who could completely guess the inner activities of most of the contestants, couldn't help but sigh.

Judging from the interested expression that the captain named Beidou looked at him, even if he asked her to help, the other party would make a condition like "you first participate in the martial arts tournament" as a prerequisite. It seemed like there was no way he could escape.

Therefore, after saying hello to the captain named Beidou, he still had to compete... Xia Yu, who was somewhat resigned to his fate, showed a helpless look, and then smiled reluctantly at Beidou and Xiangling.

"Hello, Captain Beidou, my name is Xia Yu." After introducing himself, Xia Yu looked at Beidou's interested expression and continued: "The reason why I came this time is to ask Captain Beidou if you can cannot"

"Ah, I already know about you, the blond traveler, and the little white-haired guy next to her." Beidou nodded happily and agreed to Xia Yu's reply.

"But you should have heard what Xiang Ling and I just said. If you want a boat ticket, you have to fight for it yourself and participate in the Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament I organized. If your performance satisfies me, then I will Give you a ride and take you to Inazuma."

"I understand..." Xia Yu, who agreed, felt helpless.

So what else can I say?Get in line...

————————————————————————

"I am No. 2 in the Tiger Rock Free Fighting Competition, and I have the merit of assisting the Qianyan Army in capturing two members of the treasure stealing group."

"We are disciples of the Lingshan Sect. Our master is a very famous martial arts master. His ability to transform strength into one hand is superb!"

"I'm..."

Xia Yu, who was in the queue, understood the needs of the reviewers after listening to the people who signed up in front of them vigorously promoting themselves to the reviewers.It turns out that in order to ensure the fun of the competition, the preliminary screening of participating members must be people with a certain reputation in martial arts.

Secondly, for the sake of fairness, all contestants must be people who do not have the eyes of God themselves.

This was a bit troublesome, and the requirements required to participate in the competition made Xia Yu frown.The limitation of the Eye of God is not difficult for me, after all, I do not have the Eye of God.The problem lies in the first requirement of the game.

I am indeed somewhat famous in Liyue, but that is all at the level of cooking. I have no reputation in martial arts or any competition awards. If I were to be reviewed according to this standard, I might not even be able to compete. Unable to attend.

Wait... If this is really the case, shouldn't it be said that this is a good thing for myself?

If she failed to participate in the competition because of this kind of thing, even Beidou wouldn't be able to find any reason to block her ticket, right?Xia Yu, who noticed that the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, secretly praised his wit.

After about half an hour, the long, snake-like queue finally came to its turn for review.Looking at the young woman in front of him, Xia Yu smiled and said: "Hello, Ms. Auditor, I am Xia Yu."

Just as Xia Yu was about to follow the standard procedures for those who had signed up before, several people in the queue suddenly started talking.

"Hey, look at the person who is signing up now, he should be him, right?"

"Absolutely, with this height and reminder, he is the person who was misjudged by the Qianyan Army when there was a commotion at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony!"

"Yes, yes, it's him! I participated in this year's Immortal Appreciation Ceremony and saw it clearly! He slapped the Qianyan Army Captain who was interrogating him and knocked him away ten meters, and hit the Qianyan Army Captain The strength in his body even knocked several Qianyan Army soldiers behind him off their feet. Has this master finally come to participate in the competition!?"

......

If you don't open the pot, don't lift it!The embarrassing feeling of being praised by others made Xia Yu feel uncomfortable all over.At that time, he was only involved in Ying's escape from the scene, and in a moment of desperation, he pushed the Qianyan Army captain who questioned him.Moreover, shouldn't it be considered a crime to attack Qianyan's army in Liyue Port?Why do these people think that attacking the Qianyan Army by oneself is considered a merit in martial arts?

With an increasingly embarrassed expression, Xia Yu looked at the reviewer who had his eyes on him. Xia Yu, who thought he would be eliminated directly, found that the other person's eyes looked at him with a bit of surprise and admiration. .

wrong!This is problematic no matter how you think about it! ?Why do you, Miss Auditor, admire me for attacking Qianyan Army?

"Is what they said true?" The auditor's eyes full of admiration made Xia Yu give up resistance completely. Xia Yu, who turned his stiff neck up and down and nodded in agreement, was still a little unwilling to give up.

"It is true that there is such a thing... However, Ms. Auditor, this attack on Qianyan Army should not be considered a glorious thing. Why can it be regarded as a merit?" Xia Yu, who expressed his opinion, found that the other party His eyes were filled with an expression of disapproval.

"Mr. Xia Yu, you don't understand. The purpose of our preliminary review is to exclude those who have no skills at all."

"Besides, since the subsequent development of the matter has proven that you were wronged, and you were able to escape from the siege of the Qianyan Army trained by the hands of Liyue Qixing, isn't this a very powerful thing? Is it something?" Before Xia Yu, who was dumbfounded, could answer, the auditor had already filled in Xia Yu's name on the roster.

His name had been written in black and white on the paper, and Beidou's eyes were even more interested. The experience of being like a duck being driven to the shelf made Xia Yu feel as if there were tens of thousands of alpacas rushing past in his heart.

Hey... now it seems that I really have to participate in the competition.

Chapter 173 The Eye of God...is lit!

The venue for the competition is on the island southwest of Guyun Pavilion. There are no restrictions on the weapons used. All players arrange the number of games they need to compete according to their fame. Just as Xia Yu looked at the guidance card in his hand that would start with the top 32. , the touch on his shoulder made Xia Yu turn around.

Where are people?There was no one in the parallel vision, but the familiar blond hair at the bottom of the vision made Xia Yu immediately understand who was calling him.Paimon, who was floating in the air behind Ying, was covering his mouth with both hands. His red face and slightly twitching shoulders showed that the little guy was trying his best not to laugh out loud.

It seemed that it was most likely because he was just thinking about what kind of weapon to find, so he briefly ignored the situation behind him. Paimon and Ying, who happened to be passing by, wanted to come over quietly when they saw him, but they wanted to surprise him. , the height difference gave this scene a bit of joy.

Xia Yu could already think of the fun scene when Ying raised his arm high and patted his shoulder.

As if to ease the awkward atmosphere she had just created, Ying, whose face turned slightly red, quickly greeted Xia Yu: "Good afternoon, Xia Yu, are you also here to participate in the competition held by Beidou?"

"Well, because it seems that the fastest way to get to Daozhi in the entire territory of Liyue is to find Beidou." Xia Yu sighed softly after nodding in agreement. "But this game is a little troublesome for me..."

That's right, even though he could rely on his physical fitness to continue crushing the competition, Xia Yu, who didn't expect to encounter such a situation, didn't prepare any weapon-related items at all.

In this competition, some people used sharp weapons, such as Ying, who was holding a one-handed sword. Although it looked like a not very sharp weapon, he also had body functions similar to those of a dragon, and the sharp weapon could still easily cut him. of skin.

And in this kind of competition, I have attracted Beidou's attention, and I obviously can't let Wuxiang Lei assist me in cheating. Although the players who came to participate in the competition said that they were definitely not as good as themselves in terms of physical fitness, their The experience of combat competition will definitely crush you.

In other words, if you want to avoid these disadvantages, the choice of weapon is very important. It would be great if you had the mace that you borrowed from the Adventurers Association last time.The one-meter-long stick body coupled with his wingspan is enough for him to strangle most opponents out of the range of him.

But the game is about to start, where should I find a handy weapon?Xia Yu, who was in distress, his eyes lit up when he saw the five or six meter high pine tree on the side, which was slightly thicker than the mouth of the bowl.

This thing seems to come in handy!He just had to report it to the officials in Liyue first. Thinking of this, Xia Yu quickly said to Ying on the side: "Ying, wait for me for a moment. I'll go talk to the person over there who maintains order on the scene and borrow someone." arms."

"Huh?" Looking at Xia Yu who was trotting towards Beidou, Ying had a look of confusion on his face.

When did Xia Yu learn to use weapons?In my own impression, apart from the kitchen knife, Xia Yu had only memorized one to persuade others during the task commission some time ago. Although I had never seen him use it, I learned from Selius, the branch president of the Adventurers Association. I learned from my husband that Xia Yu really didn't even know how to use a two-handed sword.

But today, Xia Yu said he wanted to borrow a handy weapon! ?Are you going to borrow a kitchen knife?Ying and Paimon, who were somewhat curious about what Xia Yu would do, looked at each other and nodded, then quickly ran towards Xia Yu who was about to talk to Beidou.

"Hello Captain Beidou." Xia Yu, who was greeting Beidou, found that there was a man wearing exotic clothes next to Beidou. The overall style was a bit like a combination of scholar's clothes and hunter's clothes. The slim-fitting clothes combined this man's good looks. The figure is shown, and the black and white and orange-red color accessories that represent autumn maple leaves give people an extremely solemn visual temperament.

In terms of appearance and temperament, this young man, who is about three or four years younger than himself, gives off a gentle and elegant look. His medium-length off-white hair has a hint of autumn maple leaf red highlights in the front. A small braid was tied behind her head.

Although he was a little concerned about who this man with a hint of melancholy in his calmness was, it was better to get his weapons as soon as possible. He looked at Beidou and this man who turned his head to focus on him because of his shouting. Xia Yu, an unknown young man, said: "Captain Beidou, can I find a weapon that I can use locally in the arena?"

"Weapons? Of course there is no problem." It was a little strange why Xia Yu said that, but Beidou nodded without hesitation. Thinking of Xia Yu's words about looking for weapons near the arena, Beidou glanced left and right and looked at a big After the circle, he showed a confused expression.

On this deserted island that he and his Southern Cross crew had sorted out, apart from trees and rocks, there was nothing that could be considered a weapon. Judging from the performance of this strong man named Xia Yu, he came with Xiang Ling. He really didn't know that he would hold the competition here. In addition, they came to Guyun Pavilion by boat, so it was within his understanding that they did not bring weapons.

How could a competition held by oneself allow players to feel frustrated and unable to perform at their best?

Thinking of this, Beidou first turned his head and motioned to the crew members of the Southern Cross with his eyes, and then said to Xia Yu: "In order to have fun, you will definitely be allowed to search for weapons, but the only weapons that can be found at this scene are those during the death battle. There’s not much that can be found with the sand that was used to blind the opponent’s eyes. Let’s take a look at the spare weapon rack I prepared first.”

A light and sharp one-handed sword, a heavy but equally excellent two-handed sword with an excellent edge, plus an extremely well-maintained shiny spear... Although the weapons on the weapon racks carried by the four crew members were not magic weapons. Sharp weapons, but it is obvious that every weapon has been carefully maintained.But such a weapon rack made Xia Yu even more embarrassed.

If you let yourself use these weapons, you won't be able to do it like a professional without knowing the skills of using weapons.At that time, the result of excessive strength may be that Hutao's Rebirth Hall will come directly to take the person away.This is obviously not possible.

"No...the weapon I want is a bit special." Just as Xia Yu was about to continue speaking, the young man beside him spoke.

"Let him and his opponents fight with bare hands. Feng has already told me what weapons he wants..."

"What?" Beidou's pretended to be deep tone made Beidou on the side a little puzzled. "Wanye, Xia Yu hasn't said anything yet? How come you understand it again?"

"It was the breath of wind on his body that told me, the deep darkness, the mystery of the starry sky, and the majestic breath of life..." After explaining, the young man named Wanyo by Beidou pointed to the side and inserted The huge rock in the ground, which was at least two meters square, then looked in the direction of Xia Yu.

"If you, sir, agree to fight with bare hands, then use this huge rock to show Captain Beidou,"

Are both sides forced to fight empty-handed?This is a good result.Xia Yu nodded when he heard this. After coming to the rock and looking at it for a while, Xia Yu immediately had his own ideas.

The location of the rock chosen by this young man named Manyo was very clever. The ground beneath this huge rock, which weighed about five or six tons, was not sand that was unbearable, but an almost equally solid stone ground. In this way, it is quite convenient to exert force by yourself.

It just so happens that I haven't tested my own strength and physique, which would be considered a half-dragon if I exerted my full strength, so I would like to use this rock to test it.Having made up his mind, Xia Yu softly said to the Wuxiangzhi Lei in his heart: "Wuxianzhi Lei, help me make a solid floor that can guarantee that I will not slip."

"understood."

After getting a positive reply from the other party, Xia Yu stood on the ground covered by the cube around Wuxiang Lei. He looked at the small cube covering his calf. Feeling that it was fixed, Xia Yu chose a direction where there was no one and then used all his strength. The force pushed hard against the two-meter-square rock.

'boom! 'There was just a loud noise, and the huge rocks rolled up like stones that were thrown out of the water, crushing out a huge boulder that was about five or six meters long and deep. Finally, I looked at the sand and gravel. It finally stopped under buffering.However, perhaps due to excessive force, cracks emerged from the surface of the rock, and then it shattered with a snap.

The horrific result not only frightened Beidou and Paimon and Ying who followed, but even Xia Yu himself was a little confused.

Xia Yu stared blankly at the huge piece of rock that shattered five or six meters away and rubbed his eyes. After confirming again that it was indeed his fault, all kinds of doubts appeared in Xia Yu's mind.

This...when did I become stronger again?

This is definitely a recent change!If it had been before, the result of my convincing people in the Adventurer's Guild by smashing the wooden piles might not be as simple as a small pit, and the Qianyan Army Captain who was pushed away by me at Yujing Terrace. If If it was really this kind of force, the final result would probably be not just hitting a wall and falling into a coma, but a puddle of indescribable objects.

"Humph~ Of course!" The voice of Wuxiangzhilei with a sense of pride sounded from Xia Yu's mind. "Xia Yu, you have almost no development of your body. It feels like you are guarding a huge mine, but you only planted some flowers and plants around the mine."

"So, these days I have been helping you use the thunder element to slightly stimulate your body. However, my ability is limited. I can only see the progress of how far I can help you unlock it."

This... After listening to Wuxiang Lei's explanation, Xia Yu finally understood. The half-dragon body that he thought was strong enough seems to have not even [-]% of its potential been developed in the eyes of Wuxiang Lei. .

"I didn't expect that I actually made a mistake." Beidou was a little confused after witnessing Xia Yu's entire display. "This kind of strength, not even people with the Eye of God can achieve it... If you were to compete with the contestants, there would be no suspense at all in the Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament."

Having said this, Beidou looked at Wan Ye who was sizing up Wu Xiang Zhi Lei, and then said: "Brother Wan Ye, I will definitely give out Xia Yu's ticket here, it is the game you are offering. What are you going to do with the champion’s prize? Do you want him to try the Eye of God now?”

"It doesn't matter, originally I just planned to see under what conditions the Eye of God that was extinguished after losing its host would be reactivated..." Take out the Eye of God that lost its elemental luster and turned into gray-black from the storage box. Wan Ye's expression seemed a little complicated. After looking at it quietly for a while, Wan Ye handed the gray Eye of God to Xia Yu.

"I have conducted countless tests. The holder's character, physical fitness, and emotions when holding the Eye of God, these do not seem to be the conditions that can reactivate it..." Explaining what he has done in the past Manyo, who had conducted various tests, made Xia Yu curious about the Eye of God in his hand.

Since the color has turned into a stone-like black-gray, the God's Eye, which has lost its elemental power, cannot tell at a glance what the original elemental attributes are. The empty God's Eye gives Xia Yu the feeling that it is all internal parts. Dismantled computer.
