Endless gales and tremors rose within the field.
Countless times, the Traveler was knocked to the ground by the Anemo Hypostasis, enduring the sharp pain emanating from her spine.
Thinking of Kai's recent admonishment.
She gritted her teeth and stood up again.
The importance of strength was already beyond doubt.
With Mr. Kai protecting her, there was no need to worry about her life.
Naturally, there were no longer any reservations.
Gazing at the Anemo Hypostasis in the distance.
The Traveler took a deep breath, gripping the sword in her hand.
She charged at the enemy again without hesitation.
Therefore...
"Even if I fail countless times, I will definitely defeat you."
I must seize this opportunity to temper myself fiercely.
Otherwise, how else would I find my family?
"Hmm... this book is good."
At the same time, still not far away under the tree.
Kai leisurely chose a tree trunk with a wide view and considerable comfort to sit on.
His self-satisfied expression was as if he was enjoying afternoon tea at a corner cafe, and no one could tell that a life-and-death struggle was happening not far from him.
And under his watchful eye, Anemo Hypostasis Beth was dutifully playing the role of a training tool.
Countless Anemo Hypostasis wind blades attacked from various peculiar angles.
Each time, they inflicted wound after wound on the seemingly resilient girl.
After all, Kai had said to go all out.
Given that, even if something went wrong, it wouldn't be his problem.
If he could also kill this girl in the process, wouldn't that be even better?
I can't beat Kai, but I can't even beat a mere little girl?
I can take my anger out on you!
Thinking this, Anemo Hypostasis's malicious attacks became even more cunning.
The offensive gradually grew sharper.
The Traveler's figure was already swaying, and the strength of her attacks was far less than before.
Yet, she continued to fight, like a tireless machine, forcing herself to counterattack.
The Traveler felt as if her body and soul had split into two parts.
Her body was utterly exhausted, but she was slowly and accurately finding the weakness of this wind through repeated failures!
She saw through Anemo Hypostasis's offensive.
Despite being extremely fatigued, she was still able to launch a few counterattacks amidst the familiar rhythm of the attacks.
"Hmm?"
Anemo Hypostasis naturally felt this sensation.
This girl's body should be getting weaker and weaker.
But for some reason, his hit rate seemed to plummet significantly as time passed.
Even her dodging footwork became increasingly precise.
The seemingly chaotic but actually traceable wind blades consistently landed just a step behind her.
The closest one even brushed past her scalp!
If she hadn't been a second faster, her head would have been split open by now!
"She's so good at dodging... wait."
"He won't think I'm going easy on her, will he?"
Anemo Hypostasis, of course, didn't care if the Traveler's strength improved.
He was worried about whether Kai would find an excuse to deal with him.
After all, the decrease in his hit rate was visible to the naked eye.
If that brutal guy noticed and really came looking for trouble with an excuse, it would be over for him!
Thinking of what happened back then, Anemo Hypostasis's body instinctively trembled a little.
That was quite a challenging month!
However, seeing Kai not far away, maintaining a comfortable posture, reading a book elegantly like a noble, Anemo Hypostasis finally breathed a sigh of relief... Phew, scared him for a moment.
It's good that he didn't notice.
In that case...
"I must deal with this girl quickly!"
Anemo Hypostasis wind elements trembled and roared, responding to the controller's call.
The Traveler instantly detected the sudden change in killing intent in the air.
Half a day of training allowed her to react instinctively in this life-or-death moment!
Anemo Hypostasis's attack missed!
But the Traveler was also completely exhausted from the previous battle.
She knelt on the ground, panting uncontrollably.
"It's over!"
Anemo Hypostasis let out a human-like sinister laugh.
But this laughter had barely begun to spread before it abruptly stopped, like a wild chicken caught by the neck!
A Noble Phantasm flew out of the void without warning.
Anemo Hypostasis was so rattled by this sudden attack that it almost couldn't maintain its form.
"At the critical moment..."
Anemo Hypostasis almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Although he knew this was a trial, this scene of being about to end the battle only to be forcibly interrupted clearly made it quite displeased.
"Didn't I say I would guarantee her safety?"
Kai's tone sounded nonchalant.
Staring at the Traveler's body, he felt that she was indeed almost at her limit.
Only then did he nod with a slight hint of satisfaction.
Then he raised his hand... The thrown Noble Phantasm, as if drawn by a mysterious force, suddenly floated in front of the Traveler.
"Eh?"
The Traveler instinctively reached out and grabbed it.
Then... more power urged the Noble Phantasm, guiding the Traveler's hand.
Without any warning, it plunged directly and fiercely into Anemo Hypostasis's core.
"Bang~"
Anemo Hypostasis was completely unable to form any defense.
The moment the Noble Phantasm pierced its core, a massive hurricane suddenly rose.
Accompanied by an endless surge of power, the training tool, Anemo Hypostasis, finally completed its mission.
It shattered into a pile of hurricane winds without warning.
The field's wind elements trembled, as if sensing Anemo Hypostasis's annihilation.
Amidst the excessively active wind elements, the power of Anemo Hypostasis, which had not yet completely dissipated, attached itself to the Traveler.
Feeling the energy rising within her, a sense of weakness almost simultaneously emerged, blurring her consciousness instantly.
The Traveler's already weak figure swayed.
Finally, she couldn't hold on any longer.
She directly collapsed to the ground with a thud.
As the scenery before her turned to darkness, she completely lost consciousness.
"Hmm... I guess that's the end of it!"
Kai glanced over and sighed helplessly.
She was too tired and just passed out.
But thankfully, none of the field's wind element power was wasted.
After all, Anemo Hypostasis's combat power was still too far apart from the Traveler's.
Being able to achieve this much today was already quite good.
And this way, it wouldn't take long for the Traveler to recover and set off for Liyue, returning peace to Mondstadt, right?
However, seeing the injured girl lying alone on the ground like that, Kai rested his chin in thought for a moment.
After some consideration, he raised his hand and picked her up, directly placing her on a softer patch of grass nearby.
"Before that, I'll let you sleep for a bit."
The delicate girl's eyes were tightly closed, her lips pressed together.
The uncontrolled wind finally ceased its clamor, flowing aimlessly.
Kai leaned against the large tree trunk, continuing to read the book he had been holding.
The rustling sound of turning pages filled the air, and dappled sunlight filtered through the tree canopy, making him appear as if he were glowing.
The field, which had roared all afternoon, completely quieted down, and everything returned to dust.
