Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

Chapter 257: Duel with Lei Ze

Every merchant in Liyue Harbor knows that there is a Young Master Xingqiu in the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xingqiu is polite and courteous to others, and is hardworking and studious, making him a leader among the younger generation.

However, in reality, this seemingly gentle and polite young master actually has a mischievous spirit in his bones that is inconsistent with his appearance.

Why did Xingqiu queue up with Chongyun? This story started early in the morning.

Chongyun was born into a famous exorcist family in Liyue. Due to the special nature of his profession, he does not have a large circle of friends.

So, after getting to know Xingqiu, Chongyun treated him as a friend for life and death.

"Chongyun, I heard that Liyue is forming a special forces unit called the Thousand Rocks Group, and they only recruit elites. How about we go and take a look?"

As the sun rose, Xingqiu's bright smile jumped into Chongyun's eyes.

"Thousand Rocks? Special Forces? What does this have to do with us?"

For Chongyun, who has always regarded subduing demons and monsters as his responsibility, joining a special forces unit is not something he would consider.

After all, this is not something that alchemists like them should get involved in, and Chongyun has no interest in getting involved.

"Hey, don't be so negative. It is said that the leader of the Qianyan Group is the powerful general Li Mochen. Don't you want to meet him?"

"Li...Will Li Mochen really be the leader?"

When this name was mentioned, Chongyun's eyes instantly lit up, because Li Mochen was exactly the person he had always longed to meet.

In fact, not only Chongyun, but also many people in his alchemist family regard Li Mochen as an idol.

The alchemist family that Chongyun belongs to is a household name in Liyue, with a history of at least a thousand years. Every alchemist in the family is no ordinary person and possesses real magical powers.

They used the essence extracted from immortal arts by the ancients and simplified it into easy-to-control Taoist arts to fight against all kinds of demons and monsters.

Immortal arts are powers that are difficult for humans to master, so they are called "immortal arts", but "Taoism" is a skill that humans can learn and use.

With the help of "Taoism", humans can drive various strange abilities even without the Eye of God.

Although these Taoist techniques are not extremely powerful, they are extremely practical when dealing with monsters and evil spirits.

Chongyun himself follows the tradition of Liyue's ancient alchemists. Although he also possesses the Eye of God, he prefers to hone his martial arts and Taoist techniques.

In this context, General Li Mochen, who is also a martial arts master, naturally became a new idol in the hearts of many alchemists.

Just like that, out of curiosity about Li Mochen, Chongyun was led by Xingqiu to the Qianyan Group recruitment site.

However, neither of them planned to join the Qianyan Group. They just came to see the fun and planned to leave after taking a look around.

After all, Xingqiu is the second son of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, and Chongyun is an alchemist, so it is impossible for him to become an ordinary soldier.

"Young man, please come in and take the test."

Just as the two guys rushed to the door to see what was going on, the soldier standing guard at the door made a "come in" gesture to them.

"Assessment? What exactly is that assessment about?"

"Didn't you read the notice carefully? After you go in, you will compete one-on-one with our captain. As long as you can last for thirty seconds, you will pass the test."

Looking at the two teenage kids in front of him, the soldier who received them couldn't help but sigh.

It’s not that he intended to look down on Xingqiu and Chongyun, it’s just that there were indeed many strong people in this assessment. Many adventurers from other places couldn’t last more than 30 seconds under Captain Lei Ze. How could these two kids possibly do it?

Xingqiu naturally sensed this kind of contempt and suspicion.

"Chongyun, let's go in."

"Ah? Do we really have to go in and take the test? Aren't we just here to take a look..."

"It's only thirty seconds. Aren't you curious about how powerful the captain of the Qianyan Group is?"

In fact, Xingqiu's youthful arrogance is extremely sharp, and he cannot tolerate others' contempt for him and Chongyun.

"Just kidding, I am the 'Qiu Shui hero' who has been traveling around the world for many years.

Since someone said that I can't even last a captain for more than 30 seconds, you are underestimating me!

I have decided. Not only will I last more than 30 seconds, I will also knock that captain down!"

As he spoke, Xingqiu pulled Chongyun into the gate with firm determination.

According to the regulations, candidates should enter the examination room alone, and should not enter together. However, because Xingqiu moved too quickly, the soldiers guarding the gate were unable to stop him in time.

After entering the hall, Xingqiu immediately saw the young man of similar age sitting in the middle.

Oh? Is he the captain of the Qianyan Group? He looks very young, but exudes a strange wildness and rich combat experience. Obviously, he is not an easy character to deal with.

With his excellent insight, Xingqiu had a general understanding of Lei Ze the first time he saw him.

"Master Xingqiu, why are you here?"

At this moment, Keqing, who was sitting next to him, frowned slightly and looked at the handsome young man who looked like a girl with a puzzled look.

As a core figure in the real estate construction field in Liyue, Keqing knows the situation of Fangshangzhijia very well. She is naturally very familiar with companies like Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, which ranks among the top in Liyue.

"Isn't this Lady Keqing? I just dropped by to take part in the assessment."

Xingqiu smiled and bowed to Keqing, then turned to look at the confused Razor.

In Lei Ze's opinion, Xingqiu didn't look like he was here to take the test, but rather he just happened to come in to have some fun.

His gentle temperament and thin body would never make people think that he would be a soldier.

Especially when contrasted with a group of muscular men, Xingqiu's androgynous appearance seemed particularly different.

"Xingqiu, do you know what this place is for?"

"Qualifications to join the Thousand Rocks? Can't I join?"

"That's not impossible... who will go first between you and your friend? Get ready to fight Lei Ze."

Although she knew that the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was just here for fun, Keqing still pointed in the direction of the arena helplessly.

After all, no matter whether he wins or loses, Xingqiu will always find an excuse to leave in the end.

Most of the people who signed up for the Thousand Rocks Group were attracted by the income, but Keqing was not stupid. She didn't believe that Xingqiu would be short of that little money.

"Okay, I'll go first. Weapons and God's Eye can't be used in the test, right?"

"No, you fight outside, and there are no restrictions. You can use all means."

Just as Xingqiu was about to fight Lei Ze, a deep and powerful voice suddenly came from behind him.
