But that's enough, isn't it?
If there's anything wrong with this armor, it's probably that its protective capabilities are a bit weak...
But by any measure, this armor's defensive capabilities are higher than Crimson's.
After the warm-up period following donning the armor, Ying gradually began to adapt to it.
For some reason, this armor seems to be able to continuously "restore" her elemental power... or perhaps Honkai energy?
Or should we call it "Honkai Elemental Force"?
In short, after wearing this armor, Ying felt as if she had been given a "power bank". Through the "mini Honkai energy reactor" on her back, her power recovery speed was more than five times that of the past!
Furthermore, the armor is an upgrade based on the "Crimson" template. Thanks to the "miniature Honkai energy reactor" behind her, Luminous can change the structure of the skirt armor, transforming it into a "flight device" on her side.
Through its flight device, Ying can remain airborne and fly for extended periods.
Next, it's time to test the armor's actual combat performance.
Across the training ground, Fu Hua, who had been waiting for a long time, slightly pushed up her red-rimmed glasses, then sat up and nodded to Ying, who had already adapted to the new armor.
"We can begin, Ying."
Next, she will serve as Ying's sparring partner, helping her test the performance of this armor.
"Okay! Please, class monitor!"
Ying nodded, and then launched an attack on Fu Hua, who had assumed an offensive stance.
Currently, the only "Honkai elemental force" she can freely control is the "wind element." Through the "courses" she has taken at St. Freya Academy, she has learned that "controlling the wind element" is actually controlling "fluids." In theory, Ying controls not only "wind" but also "water," and can create "ideal fluids" based on this.
Currently, all she can do is use Honkai energy to control the form of basic fluids as a means of attack. However, if she wants to control the weather in this way, she may need more Honkai energy.
Now that she understands the principle behind her power and is further enhanced by the armor, Ying is no longer someone who can be bullied by Honkai Beasts!
"Squad leader, prepare to be attacked!"
In the first round, Ying did not use any weapons, nor did she activate the two systems on her armor as an aid. She simply unleashed her power, drawing several "wind blades" in the air as she attacked Fu Hua.
“Swish swish!!”
The blade was incredibly fast and covered a wide area, but what she was facing at that moment was "A-rank Valkyrie Fu Hua".
Just as the wind blade was about to strike Fu Hua, Fu Hua's figure moved like a ghost, dodging the wind blade with astonishing speed. Her speed was so fast that she even left an afterimage in the spot!
Almost the instant the wind blade was snatched away, the fist the size of a sandbag came crashing down on Ying's face!
"!"
Seeing this, Ying immediately activated the armor's flight mode. At the same time, using the knowledge she had learned at St. Freya, she immediately released two gusts of wind beneath the armor. With the help of that instantaneous burst of lift, she quickly evaded Fu Hua's attack.
"Whoosh... Squad leader, you're faster than the wind..."
Looking down at Fu Hua, Ying felt her heart pounding wildly.
That punch just now almost hit her face!
Is this the class monitor...?
Is this... the power of an "A-rank" Valkyrie?
"Ying, there's no need to hold back."
Fu Hua pushed up his glasses again and got into position facing Ying once more.
"In that case, I'll have to use my weapon!"
Looking at Fu Hua's calm and composed demeanor, Ying's competitive spirit seemed to ignite as well.
And so, to Bronya and Mei's astonishment, Luminous pulled out her weapon!
[The Sword Without an Edge]
"..."
"..."
"..."
Almost the instant that broken sword was drawn, the entire training ground fell into a deathly silence.
Fu Hua remained silent, simply turning away quietly.
Was she... provoked?
"..."
"..."
Meanwhile, Bronya and Mei, who were off the field, fell into a long silence.
After a long while, Mei touched her forehead and said with a headache.
"Let's apply for another weapons quota for Ying..."
"Bronya never expected that Luminous would still have this broken sword..."
Bronya's feelings were very complicated at this moment.
She seemed to see a "primitive man" wearing state-of-the-art armor, who then used the armor to pick up stones from the ground and throw them at people.
They had actually seen the bladeless sword in Ying's hand many times before. In the previous "practical training," Ying had used this bladeless sword to defeat many Valkyries.
Her skill in swordsmanship is in no way inferior to Mei's, and even bears some resemblance to Mei's "Hokushin Sword Technique".
At that time, everyone thought Ying was using the sword for "training".
Only now has Mei realized this...
She truly only has this one sword!
So... she didn't even consider going to the logistics department to get a standard weapon?
Is this thing really no different from the swords we use in daily training?!
"Never mind, I'll go get one for her later. Bronya, please keep an eye on things here for now."
Mei shook her head helplessly, her purple eyes looking at Ying in the training field, feeling both annoyed and amused.
It seems that Ying and Kiana are somewhat similar...
Chapter Forty-Seven: The Savior?
"So, the Sky Harp is the key to restoring Stormterror's sanity?"
In the Knights of Favonius's office, Jean looked at the three who had successfully obtained the Lyre of Favonius and confirmed with the star before her once again.
"If this poet is a human being, then it should be correct."
In response to Jean's suspicions, Xing decisively turned around and pushed Wendy, who was standing to the side, out of the way.
The proposal and plan were all made by this guy. If anything goes wrong, it wouldn't be a problem to let him take the blame, right?
"Forehead……"
Feeling Jean's calm gaze, Wendy was taken aback at first, then nodded very seriously and assured Jean:
"Don't worry, Harp Master, I swear... I swear to Barbatos, the Wind God! With the Sky Harp, we can definitely awaken Dvalin!"
Looking at the poet who had made the promise, Qin nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to Xing. Clearly, she needed Xing's opinion.
As Mondstadt's "savior," Xing now wields considerable influence in the kingdom. When Xing was crowned a "knight," she granted him a "pass" in the name of "acting captain." With this pass, Xing could move freely throughout Mondstadt. However, Xing did not use this pass for any misdeeds. On the contrary... the only time Xing used the pass was to help Mondstadt awaken the wind dragon.
At a time when Mondstadt is beset by internal and external troubles, it is truly remarkable that they have received such a benefactor's assistance.
"Hmm, I think it's worth a try."
Having understood the meaning in Qin's eyes, Xing nodded, indicating her approval of the next action.
"If anything goes wrong, I'll step in!"
With her hands on her hips, Xing raised her small face, looking very majestic and domineering.
"Um...you'd better not intervene..."
Seeing Xing's "overbearing" demeanor, Wendy's lips twitched, and she thought to herself.
Last time, Xing's earth-shattering blow almost caused Dvalin to be "deleted" on the spot. If the previous "plot" had continued and those guys from the Abyss Order had continued to cause trouble, then Dvalin would probably have really returned to the ley lines this time.
"In that case, since it concerns the safety of Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius will naturally give their full support to your ideas. If you need anything, please feel free to ask me."
Seeing Xing's confident demeanor, Qin nodded knowingly and made a promise to everyone.
As the acting leader, she knew all too well what the Stormterror symbolized in Mondstadt. If the "familiar of the Wind God" could truly be awakened, it would be a good thing for the entire Mondstadt.
"Don't worry, with the Sky Harp, we're only one step away from purifying Dvalin..."
Seeing this, Wendy smiled and addressed the crowd. Then, he turned to look at Xing, his turquoise eyes showing a hint of seriousness.
Next... he will conduct a "verification".
Previously, due to the "god's" fear of Xing, he did not begin the "verification" process from the start. Later, for various reasons, he was unable to publicly allow Xing to try it, but now...
Having confirmed that Xing's personality was not evil, he was finally able to reveal the answer to this situation for Teyvat.
Is he the savior of Mondstadt, or the savior of all Teyvat...?
Everything will soon be revealed.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a crystal exuding an ominous aura quietly appeared in Wendy's hand.
Even Qin, who was still some distance away from the crystal, could clearly feel a sense of discomfort from the aura contained within it.
"These... are Dvalin's tears, the tears he shed after suffering from the [Erosion]. What we need to do is help Dvalin dispel the [Erosion]."
Then, he turned his gaze to Xing and slowly said:
"As a pioneer of another world, perhaps your power, so different from ours, can dispel this [Erosion] and help Dvalin be freed from its torment!"
"Um……"
Star gazed at the teardrop crystal; this was not unfamiliar to Xing.
In "Fire's Script", this teardrop crystal can be considered an "important foreshadowing" in the plot.
Because Luminous possesses the ability to "purify" and "absorb," she is like an invaluable "antidote" for Teyvat.
Or rather, the brother and sister were the "antidote" for Teyvat.
