Chapter 98: My Own Swordsmanship, the Knight Opening

On the fourth day, night fell.

Jiang Yi was still dancing with the sword, which was getting faster and lighter.

With a training greatsword in each hand, the two-handed war dance of the edgeless sword evolved again into a one-handed sword dance performed by the edgeless sword.

The sword dance is full of Jiang Yi's unique style.

It became something that belonged to him alone, just like it belonged to Eula alone, the royal family's West Wind swordsmanship combined with the candlelight dance.

This is Tai Chi West Wind War Dance.

Tai Chi creates the two-pole sword of lightness and heaviness, which creates unpredictable changes of ghosts and gods, from one to ten thousand, from square to circle.

Left hand pointing sword, right hand holding sword.

Tai Chi Bagua step.

A circular sword wind surrounded, blocking the rain sprayed from the shower head.

A little force can move a great object, the universe can be shifted, all things can be transformed, the highest good is like water, in harmony with nature.

Follow the wind, pull the wind.

All the water drops are deflected, and all the fallen leaves are swirling.

Endless sword shadows seemed to form a sphere, blocking out everything outside and pulling all objects within a three-foot radius around them to rest on the tip of the sword.

The extreme of softness turns into strength and creates wind.

If an arrowhead comes, it will be cut off by the sword.

If fire comes, leave a safe place behind.

Step on the heaven, earth, mountains and swamps, water, fire, wind and thunder, the position of Xun wind, and the shape of a tornado blowing by the west wind.

Jiang Yi took a step outside the circle.

He sheathed his sword and walked slowly away.

Behind him, the whirlwind continued to blow, all the water droplets broke, and all the fallen leaves were split in half.

Even the branches of nearby trees that had never been touched by the sword broke and fell to the ground.

Use your mind to communicate with the spirit and your skills will advance to the level of Tao.

Reach the pinnacle of perfection, swordsmanship is perfect.

He called out to Noelle who was underwater, and the two of them entered the city side by side, looking forward to the knight selection tomorrow morning.

One in order to become a full knight.

He simply wanted to show off the foreigner's infinite potential and superb swordsmanship.

There is no need to register. Since they are already trainees, they can just go and participate.

"Sure enough, if people are pushed hard, they can do anything except mathematics!"

Jiang Yi was at the Deer Hunter, ordering a big meal for himself and Noelle to have a good meal.

"Once upon a time, a pen, a night, a miracle."

"Now, one sword, one day and one night, one legend!"

"It's not too difficult to challenge the founder's legend!"

“This is not achieved in just one month!”

The Versailles speech made Jiang Yi feel refreshed.

The knife and fork in his hand chopped with sword wind, cutting the grilled steak.

Use a fork to pick up the meat and chew it slowly.

He glanced at Noelle, who was obviously very strong. Although he didn't know Tai Chi, he had learned the Zephyr War Dance and was destined to shine tomorrow, but he was still suffering from test anxiety.

He didn't go to comfort!

For a candidate who has failed many times, verbal comfort is of no use.

Only achievements can help people regain their confidence.

"Jiang Yi, I'm full!" Noel ate a plate of satisfying salad and put down his fork.

"Tomorrow..." Jiang Yi calculated the time and decided not to bother Noelle to continue delivering breakfast. "Let's meet at the Wind God Statue Square!"

"Yeah!" Noel said goodbye to Jiang Yi and got on the carriage.

After eating the remaining dishes, Jiang Yi left with an awkward smile amid the laughter and complaints of the Deer Hunter customers.

The other world menu that was posted there was almost just for show.

Jiang Yi simply sold some of the recipes to the deer hunters. After all, they could learn a lot of dishes just by looking at them.

Not doing it is a respect for the knowledge and patents that everyone owns.

"To prove yourself to your instructor for tomorrow's assessment, get some good sleep today!"

Amber and Count Rabbit saw that the light was still on in Jiang Yi's room, reading books published by Mondstadt and Liyue.

I pushed the door open and gave instructions.

"Got it!" Jiang Yi closed the book and fell on the bed.

His strength increased so dramatically all of a sudden that he felt like he had lost his goal.

"Besides swordsmanship, I can make up for my shortcomings..."

As he was thinking, he fell asleep.

Mondstadt, Upper Town, Great Square with the Statue of Wind.

From the gallery surrounding the square to the staircase observation deck in front of the cathedral, everywhere was decorated with lights and colorful lights, and crowds of people surrounded the examination area in front of the statue of the God of Wind, cheering and rejoicing.

The West Wind Church's choir, led by the prayer priest Barbara, sang praises to the wind god, presented wind flowers, and kicked off the knight selection ceremony.

In front of the leadership platform, Acting Captain Qin was in the middle, with Cavalry Captain Kaia and Guerrilla Squad Captain Eula on the left and right.

Through a knight of Favonius, the legend of Vanessa, Mond's past years, the resistance to darkness, the crusade against Warcraft, the establishment of the Knights of Favonius... various stories of glory and rise and fall are explained to encourage the people of Mond.

Until half past eight in the morning,

The beautiful and sweet-voiced nun finally stepped forward and began to preside over this grand ceremony which was different from the usual selection.

"Please enter the reserve knights!"

Jiang Yi, Amber, Noel, Fischl, and Bennett were mixed in the crowd watching the ceremony.

From the square side,

In addition to the two-handed sword and one-handed sword combat knight trainers at the training ground where Jiang Yi had been, they arrived first.

Later, there appeared knight trainees who used hunting bows, knight trainees who used lances, and knight trainees who used shields...

There are also cavalry units responsible for logistics, medical care, communications, guarding Mondstadt... and knight trainers with various duties appear one by one.

If the real square wasn't big enough, the small venue in the game wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.

The instructors at each training ground sat in their own seats, forming a row in the front, separating the audience and the selection field, and watching the new recruits they were training.

Secretly, they compare with each other to see whose trainer can stand out.

Jiang Yi's instructor smiled but said nothing, drinking the tea on the table with regret.

The trainers showed up for a moment and then walked down the other side.

Then, according to the reverse order of the team, the trainees responsible for guarding the city gates were asked to come up for the assessment first.

Place wooden stakes, dummies, weapon racks, medical kits, obstacle boxes...all kinds of test props, and the test begins with a whistle.

Jiang Yi watched for a while and felt that the entire knight selection scene was just like the sports meeting before the time travel.

According to the assessment order, West Wind Sword Art is in the afternoon.

So, no one was in a hurry.

Chat with the crowd when you have time.

"I didn't expect that the merchants from Liyue, Xumi, and Fontaine who stayed here were also invited to come and watch!" Bennett looked at the foreigners in different costumes and scratched his head with emotion.

"The Princess of Judgment has arrived, but she is not received by the state envoy. The tables and chairs decorated with flowers are left on the platform. Who are they waiting for?" Fischl looked at the empty seat to one side with dissatisfaction.

On it, there was an exquisite wooden table with brewed black tea, but no one was sitting on the chair.

"Miss, I heard that the position is reserved for Zhidong!" Oz walked around the crowd and came over to respond.

"How dare the lowly ministers of the Ice and Snow Country... look down upon the Wind God Court and the Pure Land of Dark Night! Wait for me to shatter the ice with the Thunder of Holy Judgment!"

“Ahem!” Jiang Yi patted the arrogant Fischl, “The Fatui are coming!”

"Hmm..." Fischl turned her head suddenly and hid behind Jiang Yi.

"How can such a cunning person see the holy face of the princess?"

Several Fatui wearing black masks looked around and felt that someone was saying bad things about the Kingdom of Winter.

But there were too many people around and the noise was too loud for them to hear clearly.
