Genshin Impact: I am a high-ranking official from various countries

Chapter 268: Past Events (The Piercing Rainbow Spear)

On the deck, the sea breeze blew past, creating a magnificent sound of waves.

Chen Yue stood there quietly, staring at the Piercing Rainbow Spear in front of him, his eyes flashing with a solemn and deep light, as if he was thinking about something important. He gently stroked the mighty and majestic spear, feeling its heavy weight and cold texture.

In fact, Chen Yue seemed to have never owned a weapon that truly belonged to him. Even during the Demon War, he only used the most ordinary weapons. Although there were many weapons made from the remains of demons in his warehouse, Chen Yue didn't even bother to use those second-rate demons.

However, now facing the Piercing Rainbow Spear in front of him, Chen Yue felt an indescribable impulse in his heart.

This weapon, which once sealed and suppressed the demon god Osel, exudes a mysterious and majestic aura that inspires awe in people.

"Is this the weapon that suppresses the demon god Osel?" Chen Yue whispered to himself, his voice drifting away in the sea breeze. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he had made a decision.

Seeing Chen Yue like this, as a wife, it was difficult to disturb him. As far as she could remember, this was the first time Chen Yue had such an expression in front of her.

"That guy has been standing there for an hour. He hasn't said a word since he got on board. Why don't you go up and ask him. Maybe he needs your help too?"

Leaning out from beside Zhen, Huzaigong pushed Zhen towards Chen Yue, motioning her to go over and ask.

Zhen heard this, although she was confused, she also understood that Hu Zhaigong's suggestion was reasonable. She sighed softly, turned and walked towards Chen Yue. The sea breeze, with a slightly salty and moist breath, blew on her long hair.

"Yao, you've been standing there for a long time." Zhen said softly, her voice sounded particularly gentle amid the sound of the waves.

Chen Yue turned his head and looked at Zhen. The solemnity in his eyes faded slightly, replaced by a touch of tenderness and gratitude. "Yeah, I'm thinking about something." He responded softly, with a little hoarseness in his voice.

"I saw you standing there, and I was worried about you." Zhen took a few steps forward and stood beside Chen Yue, and looked at the Piercing Rainbow Spear with him, "Does this weapon have any special meaning to you?"

Chen Yue was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "This Piercing Rainbow Spear was once a sharp weapon used to suppress the demon god Osel. It is so powerful that it is enough to shake the heavens and the earth. But I never thought that one day I would own such a weapon."

"You have always been strong and don't need to rely on any weapons." Zhen said softly. She understood Chen Yue's pride and confidence.

Chen Yue shook his head, a helpless smile appeared on his face, and continued: "No, really. Although I am very capable, I also need opportunities to display my abilities. If I don't have a weapon that suits me, my combat effectiveness will at least drop by half."

He looked at Shin deeply and said seriously, "So, I would like to ask you and Ying to work with me to forge a weapon that belongs only to me. At the same time, spread my martial arts among Inazuma. Shin, you are also a samurai, so you should understand what I am thinking at this moment."

After hearing this, Zhen nodded at first, indicating that she understood Chen Yue's idea, but then she shook her head.

"It's no problem to forge weapons. After all, the Five Lightning Legends of Inazuma were passed down by Ying and I. But if you want to spread your martial arts, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome."

Chen Yue frowned and asked in confusion: "Why? Is there any restriction in Inazuma?"

Shin nodded gently and explained, "In Inazuma, if someone wants to establish a sect, they must first take the sword of General Raiden, that is, Ying and me. This is a test of their martial arts skills. Only after passing this test can they be recognized."

"However, with my status, I can help you with this matter. However, it will probably take a long time to get others to accept a sect they have never heard of."

Chen Yue was touched and helpless when he heard Zhen's words. He knew that Zhen was telling the truth. Inazuma Country had a strict martial arts inheritance system, and not just anyone could establish a school.

However, if such a small matter could stump Chen Yue, he would not have the title of "King of Wu" in the future.

"It's alright. Let Ying and I fight with all our might in front of all the wives and children."

"I've been sparring with her a lot, so this time won't make a difference. It's a good opportunity for me to show my full strength. I'm sure Ying, who has heard this news, won't refuse."

There was a determination gleam in Chen Yue's eyes, and he seemed ready to face the challenge.

Zhen smiled helplessly, feeling a little helpless about Chen Yue's persistence, but at the same time full of expectations for him.

"Well, since you've made up your mind, I will fully support you." Zhen said with a smile, "However, Ying and I will personally handle the forging of the weapon. What kind of weapon do you need?"

Chen Yue shook his head and replied with a smile: "That's not necessary. I just want you two to inject your strength into it, that's all."

"Oh?" Zhen was a little surprised, but then he understood what Chen Yue meant, "Do you want to make the weapons yourself, and then have us inject power into them?"

"That's right." Chen Yue nodded, his eyes flashing with desire for unknown challenges. "I believe that only weapons made by myself can fully match my martial arts and exert the greatest power."

"Okay, since you insist, let's do this." Zhen nodded and said no more, with a helpless expression on his face.

"When do you plan to start so that Ying and I can prepare."

"There's no rush for that. Let me collect the prepared materials first, and I'll let you know when the time comes." Chen Yue said after searching for a while, with a confident expression on his face.

"Do you need my help with the materials?" Zhen asked again.

"No need for that. Although the convenience of my identity is indeed good, I prefer the feeling of collecting by myself." Chen Yue refused, with a stubborn expression on his face.

"I won't bother you with this matter. I'm already very grateful that you can help me."

"What are you talking about? I'm your wife. Isn't it normal for me to help you do some things?" Zhen looked at Chen Yue with a reproachful look on her face.

"No, I just..."

"Okay, I know what you mean." Zhen interrupted him.

"You usually feel ashamed when others help you for free, right? Don't worry, I also have a favor to ask you."
