Chapter 702 Champion, God's Eye of Rejection

"Master of the Flying Sword, the great hero of Liyue?" Fei Fei turned pale when he saw Jiang Yi and Ying. He then looked at the young warrior who had the Eye of the Wind Element God on his waist.

With these people around, even if we prepared the boat in advance, we were still caught up in no time.

"If I also had the Eye of God... or if I could make this Eye of God light up and control the elements..." Fei Fei said unwillingly.

Wan Ye shook his head: "It has nothing to do with the Eye of God. Maybe you are very good at disappearing in the crowd, but it is clear that you don't know how to shake off the gaze of nature."

"Besides, the escape route you chose was full of loopholes. On my way here following the wind, I heard you boasting and laughing triumphantly..."

Wan Ye said mercilessly: "In other words, you haven't achieved any of the three creeds of a thief: 'speed', 'stealth', and 'elegance'."

How can you insult someone's profession? Feifei looked at Wanye angrily.

“But compared to all this, what disappoints me more is the state of the Eye of God in your hand… As expected, it won’t respond to ‘wishes’ indiscriminately.” Wan Ye sighed. There was only one person in the entire venue who dared to steal the Eye of God. He was extremely eager for the Eye of God and was full of courage, which showed how strong his desire was. But it still didn’t work?

Then we can only use the next method.

Fei Fei looked at everyone, but he had no intention of resisting. How could he beat the Flying Sword Master? "Alright! I admit defeat this time! I have been eyeing this God's Eye for a long time. I heard that the contestants of this martial arts competition are all mediocre guys, so I signed up and fought all the way to the finals."

"But after watching the great heroes fight, I knew that there is no false reputation. I have no chance of winning at all."

"But now that I'm here, I'm naturally unwilling to give up the Eye of God! Open competition doesn't work, so I took advantage of the time when everyone's attention was on you before the game and used my old skills..." He hung his head and admitted his guilt consciously.

Paimon was surprised: "So you are our opponent in the finals."

"Here you go!" Feifei took out the empty shell of the Eye of God. It was a pity that the Eye of God that could not be awakened was hidden on her body.

"So self-conscious." Ying said in surprise.

Wan Ye did not take it, but said: "I can't just let it go after what I did. The Eye of God is the prize I provided. You stole something, and according to the rules of the sea, you should cut off your arm to atone for your sin."

"Should I help you, or should you do it yourself?"

"Ah..." Ying and Paimon were shocked. Is Wan Ye so cruel?

"Huh?! No...it can't be that serious!" Feifei felt danger and subconsciously stepped back.

"Plus, you stole the prize and didn't participate in the finals, which made Beidou, the leader of the Southern Cross fleet, lose face." Manye said in a cold voice, "It seems that it would be fair to use a red-hot iron to brand the word 'thief' on your face."

Jiang Yi sneered: "You did something like this in front of my Lingshan Sect's territory, and you have to be hung on the pole of a boat, exposed to the sun for three days and three nights, without water or food, to tell everyone what to do and what not to do?"

"Three days and three nights in this weather will kill people!" Feifei shouted in panic.

"Hey, hey, don't be so cruel." Paimeng looked at Jiang Yi and Wan Ye who blocked Feifei's escape route.

Ying thought about it for a while, and cooperated to block Feifei from another direction.

"Damn it, even the great hero can be so cruel and ruthless. I will fight you to the death!" Fei Fei was terrified. He hid the Eye of God in his hand, and suddenly a desire to survive broke out. He took out the crossbow from his waist and shot a crossbow arrow.

Wan Ye tilted his head and the crossbow arrow flew past his ear.

The sword was drawn and stabbed straight into Feifei's eyebrows.

Feifei looked at the sword full of cold light in horror, and a sharp murderous aura rushed into her heart.

"The other party has changed his attention and wants to kill me..." Fei Fei relied on his agility to evade, picked up the crossbow and fired continuously to attack Wan Ye.

But there was no way to avoid the sword light that was coming like the wind, chasing after souls and taking lives.

Cold sweat broke out, and the sword was pressed against his forehead.

Fei Fei shot the last arrow with the determination to die together.

The arrow was blown away by the wind, and Wan Ye retracted his sword in disappointment.

Another sword stabbed out.

Fei Fei collapsed to the ground, his strength and will exhausted in a short period of time, and he could only watch the sword fall.

The sword stopped in mid-air.

"It's a matter of life and death, and even those who have tried their best still cannot gain the favor of the gods." Wan Ye was satisfied with Fei Fei's resistance, but the results of the experiment were disappointing.

"Leave the Eye of God here and go! I have changed my mind and the previous punishment no longer counts." He put the sword back into its sheath.

"Wait, let him continue to compete. It will be hard to explain to the audience if we don't see him in the final." Jiang Yi said.

"Eh?" Fei Fei came back to his senses, "You mean... the punishment just now has been revealed?"

"Take out the Eye of God..." Manye said, "If you want to take the initiative to accept the punishment, we don't mind... This kind of awareness that conforms to the way of the samurai is worthy of praise."

"No, no, no! Thank you, sir, for your magnanimity." Fei Fei simply took out the Eye of God. Although it was a bit puzzling that they let him go so easily, he didn't dare to ask or say anything.

"Let's hurry back to the venue now. Beidou is waiting anxiously." Jiang Yi said to Ying and looked at Feifei, "Go ahead of us and don't play tricks."

"How dare I? How dare I!" Feifei nodded and bowed.

When they arrived at the venue, Ying and Feifei quickly competed in the finals and easily won.

"After seven days of fierce competition, our champion is finally born." Beidou said excitedly, "She is our hero - Ying."

"Congratulations, congratulations." Hu Tao clapped his hands in the audience.

"Sister Ying is so awesome." Yaoyao said.

"With such a big accident, I thought I wouldn't be able to see the finals." Chongyun said.

Xingqiu nodded: "The Eye of God has also been recovered."

"Your championship medal." Zhu Han, the person in charge of the martial arts competition, presented Ying with a specially prepared medal.

"The tickets for the Death Star are ready, and you can get on board when the time comes!" Beidou said cheerfully, "If you hadn't come back just now, I would have been taken away by Baiwen sent by Ningguang."

"It is said that the scale of my 'Southern Cross Fighting Association' is several times larger than reported. I cannot just ignore it."

"You spoiled the fun, woman. Fortunately, you returned in time. Otherwise, it would be such a pity if you couldn't witness the birth of the champion."

Manye: “…”

Jiang Yi smiled.

"So, it's thanks to Jiang Yi that he stopped Wan Ye who wanted to say a lot, so that we can come back quickly." Paimeng thought that if they listened to what Wan Ye said, they might not be able to see Beidou when they came back.

Ying nodded.

"Alas! I have to go back to Liyue Harbor now. The ending of the martial arts competition is left to you." Beidou cursed and followed Baiwen who was waiting there to return to Liyue Harbor to see Ningguang.

“Haha, the various conflicts between Big Sister and Ningguang, although I have only been on the ship for a short time, I know that this is a common occurrence.” Wan Ye said with a smile, “Let’s find a place to continue our unfinished conversation.”

Walk to the edge of the island.

"It was not my intention to deliberately scare the treasure-stealing group, and I don't have that kind of weird interest. I just felt that the Eye of God was still in his hands, and I wanted to try the last possibility." Wan Ye looked into the distance, watching the rising and falling waves and the flying birds eating the swimming fish.

"When people are forced into a desperate situation, they will burst out with extremely powerful strength. I thought this would be an opportunity for the Eye of God to light up. Unfortunately, nothing happened," he said.

"From the beginning to the end, it was all because of this matter?" Ying suddenly realized.

Wan Ye nodded: "Yes, I just want to know if the extinguished Eye of God has the possibility of rekindling. Since I noticed that he was stealing the Eye of God, I decided to use him for this 'experiment'. Master Jiang Yi seemed to have guessed my idea and cooperated with me."

He took out the Eye of God: "And in the past, I have tried many methods."

"Although I have only heard of the 'ownerless God's Eye can shine again' in a few legends. But now that I have seen that you can control multiple elements at the same time, what is impossible?"

Jiang Yi said: "In fact, this is not a legend. I have used the art of divination to see the past and future of many holders of the Eye of God. There are indeed holders of the Eye of God whose Eye of God was ignited from an extinguished empty shell. However, for various reasons, I will not tell everyone about it."

The closest person is Ningguang.

When I first saw this empty shell, I subconsciously thought: a new business opportunity has come to my door. If this empty shell is auctioned, it will surely attract rich people to spend a fortune. Even if it does not resonate, it is still a good thing to decorate the door lintel with it...

If there were multiple channels for acquiring empty shells, wouldn't it be possible to facilitate a long-term transaction?

However, when she was thinking about playing with the empty shell of "God's Eye" and writing the auction plan, God's Eye lit up.

As he thought about the huge amount of wealth, his increasingly bright smile gradually froze.

The attendant loudly congratulated his master on the treasure, which made him even more unhappy.

"What is there to congratulate? It's already been unpacked. How can it still be sold?!"

As a businessman's lifelong shame, Ningguang would naturally not tell others that he had cut off a source of income with his own hands.

"Is it inconvenient to tell me?" Wan Ye asked, really wanting to know who that person was.

"I've said it, I can't leave Liyue." Jiang Yi didn't point it out explicitly, but Wan Ye had some guesses.

"Come on! You guys try too and see if you can light up this Eye of God and give me the ideal answer." Wan Ye handed over the Eye of God.

The ownerless "Eye of God" is an empty shell. It is something that is left behind after the user dies. It does not contain any elemental power and there is no specific method to awaken it. It only has a small chance of resonating with people, and multiple people are not allowed to try repeatedly...

After all, he was a little unwilling, so he decided to give the Eye of God to these two special beings and give it a try.

"Okay! I'll go first." Ying held the Eye of God.

The Eye of God was an empty shell without any light.

In terms of wishes, Ying's search for her brother, her search for the truth of five hundred years, her search for God, and her journey to fulfill her wishes are better than many people in Teyvat.

And the qualifications are also excellent enough.

It took me a long time.

"It seems that there is no special reaction." Paimon spread his hands.

"Jiang Yi, you try it..." Ying handed the Eye of God to Jiang Yi.

The shell styles of each country's Eye of God are different. Mondstadt's has wings at the bottom, Liyue's is square, and this Inazuma's has a ring on the top.

"Zhongli said that the Eye of God... is also a kind of 'contract'. You must know that all power has its price. A thousand powers are accompanied by a thousand responsibilities."

Jiang Yi took the Eye of God, but it probably wouldn't light up even if he gave it to him.

Suddenly, when he grasped it, a purple light burst out, and terrible thunder roared violently...

Manye, Ying, and Paimon widened their eyes.

Then, the Eye of God flew up from the body of Jiang Yi who was struck by thunder, was thrown far away, rolled to the ground, and went out.

"It lit up, and then went out again?" Paimon leaned forward.

"This situation?" Wan Ye looked at the dull and lifeless Eye of God rolling on the ground.

"Do you have any idea?" Ying looked at Jiang Yi and asked.

Jiang Yi pondered, lighting up and extinguishing, could it be that... he recognized my current status and wishes? But rejected my identity and power? Could it be that he could not sign a contract?

“Haha, actually I think no matter what empty shell of the Eye of God is given to me, I can light it up for a moment, and then, the Eye of God will find me… Shit, it’s the original, shit, it’s pitch black, shit, I sensed it wrong just now, hurry up and run.”

"Uh——" Ying was speechless.

"Your explanation is weird..." Paimon touched his chin.

Wan Ye picked up the Eye of God and handed it to Jiang Yi, "Try again!"

This time, when Jiang Yi held the Eye of God, there was nothing strange about it.

"It can't be lit up." Ying and Paimon observed.

Jiang Yi returned the Eye of God to Wan Ye.

"The world is indeed wonderful..." Wan Ye was full of emotion and put away the Eye of God: "Although something unexpected happened, from the result, this Eye of God was still not activated, so it can only continue to accompany me."

"By the way, Wanye, you are so persistent in wanting to light it up. Is there any special origin of this Eye of God?" Paimon asked.

Manye sighed and looked at the sky.
