The distant Lightning Stiletto dissipated, turning into sparse purple light.
At the same time, Keqing's Vision also became brighter than before. That was proof that she could unleash her Elemental Burst.
This could be considered one of the few drawbacks of a Vision. To unleash an Elemental Burst, one had to use Elemental Skills a few times first? At least, from Yu Jin's perspective, this was a restriction.
Keqing felt the elemental power flowing within her body. She knew that the time to unleash her Elemental Burst was ripe.
Specks of lightning danced around Keqing's body. Even though she possessed a Vision, she felt a faint, intermittent prickling sensation all over her body.
"Hmph!" Keqing shook his head slightly. After warming up with his Elemental Skill, he was still somewhat unaccustomed to such a high concentration of elemental power?
It was said that some top-tier powerhouses could directly withstand a large amount of elemental power and unleash an Elemental Burst without using Elemental Skills.
But those were all powerhouses with renowned reputations; at least, Keqing couldn't do it yet.
"Sword light like me, sever all impurities!"
Keqing let out a clear shout, and the Electro elemental power accumulated within his body erupted. While this elemental power strengthened Keqing's physical attributes to the extreme, it also conjured several phantoms that darted towards Yu Jin.
At this moment, Keqing's body was completely integrated into the sword shadows, moving with a speed that resembled a leaping bolt of lightning.
"Good timing!"
Yu Jin crossed his hands, his fingers twirling, and sheets of pristine white paper appeared between his fingers.
"Sword light like me, sever all beef offal!"
Yu Jin mimicked Keqing, shouting loudly, and then similarly transformed into a streak of light, meeting Keqing's interwoven sword net.
However, he didn't rely on elemental power, but on pure physical prowess.
Keqing was currently in a very peculiar state. With the abundant elemental power boosting his speed, he moved so fast that he couldn't see anything in front of him.
And those Electro elemental phantoms, whether standing or floating, played an extremely important role.
On one hand, they could confuse enemies, and on the other hand, they helped Keqing, who was in a flash, determine the direction of his slashes.
With these phantoms, Keqing didn't need to see his surroundings at all. Because in the continuous slashes, like a swift thunderbolt, anything would be pulverized!
But, why was it a little different this time?
Keqing was traversing and slashing through space, but he didn't feel any resistance, as if his Elemental Burst had missed its target.
But this was impossible. Given the distance between Keqing and Yu Jin just now, the range of his Elemental Burst could definitely envelop Yu Jin.
Could he have escaped?
Yu Jin certainly hadn't escaped. From a more distant perspective, the Yujing Terrace was quite lively at this moment.
Flashing purple light and faint white light intertwined, forming a sharp blade that shredded everything.
The reason the white light was described as faint was because it only seemed to appear when it got close to the purple light.
It was as if the white light was constantly weaving through the gaps in the purple light.
"Ningguang, does Yu Jin have a Vision?"
Ganyu looked at the splendid scene before him, not only shocked but also filled with doubt. He recalled the details around Yu Jin's body; it seemed he didn't have a Vision, did he?
But without a Vision, how could he keep up with Keqing's Stellar Restoration?
"Whew—, he just doesn't have a Vision. Today, I've truly learned something new." Although Ningguang's tone was relaxed, his noticeably faster heaving chest revealed his inner turmoil.
Without a Vision, he could still achieve this level?
"Crackle!"
The accumulated elemental power would eventually run out. Along with the roar of thunder came a strong flash of light.
This was Keqing's strongest sword strike, unleashed after squeezing out the last trace of elemental power, making it the perfect ending for Stellar Restoration.
The lightning dissipated, and the figures of Keqing and Yu Jin simultaneously appeared on the Yujing Terrace.
"Eh?" Keqing raised his hands, and he suddenly noticed many strips of paper on his body. Those strips of paper were everywhere—on his face, hands, legs... almost every part of Keqing's body was covered with paper strips.
These pristine white strips of paper fluttered in the wind, making him look like a severely ill patient who had escaped from Bubu Pharmacy.
He casually tore off a strip of paper from his arm, and it clearly read: "Elemental flow too large, should be reduced."
Keqing's pupils constricted slightly. Then, as if to verify something, he quickly peeled off another strip of paper from his forehead.
"Insufficient reaction, elemental power should circulate as follows..."
This time, it wasn't just words; there was even a complex sketch. It depicted exactly how to use elemental power to stimulate the meridians around the eyeball.
The dense black represented all the meridians around the eyeball.
The purple protruding from the black indicated the direction of elemental power circulation.
As for the eyeball beneath the meridians... well, there's no need to mention that—what's there to say about two big crosses?
Keqing put away the paper strip and mechanically looked up at Yu Jin beside him. As he moved, the small characters on the other paper strips also caught his eye.
Every strip of paper represented a flaw, and also his future direction.
Yu Jin felt Keqing's somewhat dazed gaze, and he spread out his palm. Inside was a crumpled ball of blank paper strips.
"Good strength, didn't use them all."
After saying that, Yu Jin put the paper strips back and nodded at Keqing. For this interview, he had truly put in a lot of effort.
Dodging Keqing's attacks while writing and drawing almost exhausted him to death.
"How about it? Is this level of strength acceptable?" Yu Jin scanned Keqing, who was covered in paper strips, from top to bottom.
Hmm, there shouldn't be any omissions.
"Senior is joking, I should thank you for your guidance." Keqing snapped out of his silent shock and quickly waved his hand at Yu Jin, saying.
Unbeknownst to him, Keqing had even changed his way of addressing Yu Jin.
"Haha, you should take off the paper strips on your body first." Yu Jin looked at Keqing's somewhat apprehensive appearance and quickly sent him off to deal with the paper strips on his body.
Then he ran to Ningguang and Ganyu, flexing his muscles and saying, "How about it?"
"Very strong." Ningguang nodded.
The strength Yu Jin displayed, even among the Vision wielders Ningguang had seen, was top-tier.
"Then do you think I passed the second time?" Yu Jin pulled out a chair from somewhere and sat down in front of Ningguang.
However, Ningguang no longer had the leisure to care about these minor details. Yu Jin's strength had somewhat exceeded his imagination.
His mind was now filled with the possible changes that might occur in Liyue. Faced with such a strong individual, Ningguang had to be cautious.
"Of course, Senior passed." Keqing said as he walked over, tearing off the paper strips from his body.
He sat back in his seat and used the hairpin on his head to thread the paper strips together, sorted by body part.
Yu Jin heard this and immediately felt that his hard work had not been in vain. This seemed to be a unique way of giving a gift?
He inexplicably thought of this aspect.
"Anything else, just bring it on." Yu Jin patted the table and said to the three people in front of him.
"The next assessment is..."
"No? There really is one?"
"Didn't you ask?"
"Can't I just be polite?"
Yu Jin felt annoyed. Why was there still an assessment? He waved his hand and said, "Alright, you continue."
"Next is the finishing work. Just register." As soon as Ningguang finished speaking, Ganyu on the side took out a form.
Yu Jin took the form and looked at it. It was nothing more than some basic information, which Ningguang had asked before. Now he just had to write them down on paper.
"Mr. Yu Jin, look here." Just as he was concentrating on the form, Ganyu's voice came over.
Yu Jin looked up and saw Ganyu holding a Kamera pointed at him.
"Mr. Yu Jin, please take off your helmet. I'll take a photo."
"..."
Yu Jin looked at the smiling Ganyu, and he now felt that this job was not meant for him.
