Chapter 378: Is the Competitive Edge ship not grand enough

~9 min read 1,770 words

The video continues.

Suddenly, deafening ceremonial cannon fire rings out.

[Listen, the thunder of these cannons—it awakens all my memories of the battlefield...]

[My return will bring back the ancient wolf proverb; I will save my fallen race in my own way and let it regain its glory!]

Hu Lei declares loudly,

and on the faces of Mudu and the other Borisins,

a fanatical look gradually appears.

Meanwhile, the Wardance Ceremony is about to begin,

and on the Competitive Edge ship.

[Whoa, the ceremonial cannons on the Competitive Edge ship are so loud!]

[Is this the atmosphere of the Wardance Ceremony? I feel like my ears are going to be deafened.]

Listening to the booming sound of the massive ceremonial cannons,

March 7th cannot help but cover her ringing ears.

[If the scene weren't grand, how could it attract others to watch?]

[March, you haven't forgotten why you're here, have you?]

Miss Yunli, standing nearby, asks casually upon seeing March 7th's state.

[Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here?]

March 7th is left dazed by the cannon fire.

She has completely forgotten why she is here.

[Look around, does anything come to mind?]

Miss Yunli points around to remind her.

[Ah, the memory of falling from the sky and crashing into the Teyuan Arena comes flooding back. We... are here to compete, right?]

Stelle: "Ah! My ears!!"

Stelle: "I'm going deaf, I'm going deaf!"

Firefly: "Eh, it's not that exaggerated, is it?"

Firefly: "Although the cannon fire is indeed very loud..."

Paimon: "Whoa, even though I'm watching a video, I felt like I was there just now."

Paimon: "I was really startled by that sudden, huge cannon blast."

Paimon: "I thought something had exploded somewhere..."

Miss Yunli: "That's the grandeur we wanted."

Miss Yunli: "Don't you think this cannon fire is very imposing?"

Lumine: "Hmm, it is indeed very imposing."

Lumine: "As expected of the Wardance Ceremony."

Furina: "Miss March 7th was stunned by the sound; is it really too loud?"

Hearing Yanqing: "Miss March is standing on the Competitive Edge ship right now; she's too close, so it's normal to feel it's loud."

Hearing Yanqing: "No matter, she'll adapt after a while."

March 7th: "So what was I here for again?"

Hu Tao: "Isn't Miss March 7th here to defend the arena in place of Brother Hearing Yanqing?"

March 7th: "Uh... right, right, right."

March 7th: "I really did forget for a moment."

Mualani: "I'm a bit worried; Hu Lei is already prepared to wreak havoc on the Luofu. Can the Wardance Ceremony really proceed smoothly?"

Silver Wolf: "I think it's not a big problem."

Silver Wolf: "Just watch the competition with peace of mind."

Silver Wolf: "Why don't we make a bet on which round March 7th gets eliminated?"

Stelle: "Let's be conservative; I bet March can last against two opponents!"

March 7th: "???"

March 7th: "Hey, do you guys have so little confidence in me?"

Miss Yunli: "To be honest, even your master doesn't have much confidence in you."

Miss Yunli: "There might be hidden talents at the Wardance Ceremony; even if Hearing Yanqing came up, he wouldn't dare say he's guaranteed to win."

Hearing Yanqing: "That's true; there is always someone better than you."

Hearing Yanqing: "Perhaps a very strong opponent will emerge in this Wardance Ceremony."

Hearing Yanqing: "However, with Miss March's talent and my guidance, I believe you can definitely make it to the end."

Hearing Yanqing: "Good luck!"

March 7th: "Ah, this... does this mean you've defaulted to me failing to defend the arena?"

March 7th: "Forget it, forget it. This girl doesn't have much confidence in her heart either."

March 7th: "I'll just do my best and leave the rest to fate."

The video continues.

[Great, great, your brain has finally recovered its memory, and I can put down the heavy iron I was holding high.]

[As the saying goes, when there is work, the disciple does it for the master.]

[Remember, you are here as a Luofu swordsman to defend the arena in place of your good-for-nothing master Hearing Yanqing.]

Miss Yunli emphasizes March 7th's task.

[Speaking of which, what if the opponent on stage this time is super strong and beats me down in a few moves...]

[After all, I only count as a beginner in swordsmanship.]

[I don't know where I got the confidence to agree to General General Huaiyan back then.]

March 7th feels a bit intimidated now.

[Hey, don't worry.]

[But if that happens, all the glory of the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou will belong to the Zhuming, hahahahaha...]

Miss Yunli laughs happily, seemingly not worried at all.

[Please, Master Miss Yunli, I'm about to go on stage, give me some confidence!]

Miss Yunli's giggling makes March 7th feel helpless.

[March, think about the storms you Nameless have experienced on your journey!]

[You must have seen enemies far more terrifying than the Wardance opponents, right?]

[Doesn't that make you feel a bit more relaxed?]

Miss Yunli begins to comfort March 7th.

[Should I call Master Hearing Yanqing back?]

[A master retreating in the face of danger... and letting the disciple take the hit, what kind of situation is this?]

March 7th feels increasingly uneasy and loses her confidence.

[March, a master withdrawing from the competition is a great opportunity for you to stand out.]

Miss Yunli continues to egg March 7th on.

[I think it's a great opportunity for me to lose my head!]

March 7th says listlessly.

[Where do all these complaints come from? You promised Grandpa, and now you want to run? Let's go!]

Stelle: "Hahahahaha..."

Stelle: "I'm dying of laughter."

Stelle: "Look at March's unwilling face."

March 7th: "Forced to work, you'd be unwilling too if it were you..."

March 7th: "Besides, giving this job to me is really over my head!"

Paimon: "Mm... I can really understand Miss March 7th's thoughts."

Paimon: "If I put myself in her shoes, if the arena that was supposed to be for Lumine was suddenly changed to me, I'd be panicking too!"

Lumine: "What are you panicking about? You'd just lie on the ground and admit defeat."

Lumine: "Anyway, you can't win, so don't struggle. (Covering mouth and laughing.jpg)"

Miss Yunli: "Haha, this is all the fault of your good-for-nothing master Hearing Yanqing, who pushed aside his own duties and let his novice disciple take the fall."

Miss Yunli: "But don't worry, with Master Miss Yunli here, I can definitely guarantee your personal safety!"

Miss Yunli: "Your Master Miss Yunli is still very reliable!"

Hearing Yanqing: "Cough, cough... I... really have things I can't walk away from."

Hearing Yanqing: "There's nothing I can do..."

Hearing Yanqing: "Who told me to be a Cloud Knight Lieutenant."

Hearing Yanqing: "I must fulfill my duties as a Cloud Knight first!"

The video continues.

[Master Miss Yunli, I feel like I haven't prepared enough...]

March 7th looks aggrieved.

[March, preparation is never enough.]

[Alright, come with me.]

Miss Yunli ignores March 7th's resentment,

and begins leading her toward the security checkpoint of the Competitive Edge ship.

On the way, they encounter a pair of tourists chatting.

[Is this the Competitive Edge ship?]

[Although it looked quite grand when I saw it from the ground while on duty...]

[But now that I've actually boarded the ship today, it doesn't feel as... big as I imagined?]

The male tourist looks at the Competitive Edge ship, feeling slightly disappointed.

[Oh, what did the grand Competitive Edge ship you imagined look like?]

[That big? Or that big?]

The female tourist next to him hears her companion's words and immediately stretches out her hands to gesture.

[Let me think... hmm, if you wanted to go from here to the spectator stands, you'd have to take a star-skiff transfer and sit for two hours!]

[Otherwise, it's not grand enough!]

The male tourist replies after thinking for a moment.

[Uh... isn't that just simply big?]

March 7th, who has been listening from the side for a long time, cannot help but chime in.

[Bigger is better, more is beautiful!]

[I think this Competitive Edge ship is still not big enough, and there aren't enough gun turrets!]

The male tourist hears March 7th's words and expresses his own opinion.

[Hmm... there used to be quite a lot of gun turrets on this ship.]

The female tourist interjects.

[It's mainly that the Competitive Edge ship I imagined was very big, but it's not quite the same as what I imagined.]

The male tourist scratches his head.

[I'm asking you, are you still going or not?]

Miss Qingque: "Good grief, does this tourist know what he's saying?"

Miss Qingque: "Taking a star-skiff transfer for at least two hours—how big of a ship would that have to be?"

Stelle: "It's not that big, is it?"

Stelle: "Just about the size of a city?"

Stelle: "Anyway, it's still far from the size of the Luofu Xianzhou itself."

Paimon: "My god, a ship the size of a city?"

Paimon: "Isn't that big enough?"

Paimon: "Paimon can't even imagine it."

Zhongli: "Generally speaking, compared to the Luofu Xianzhou, which is as huge as a planet, it is indeed not that big."

Lumine: "I always feel like the things these two tourists are discussing are strange."

Lumine: "Bigger is better, more is beautiful?"

Lumine: "Does this seem to be talking about the firepower of the Competitive Edge ship?"

Furina: "Are they complaining about the lack of firepower on the Competitive Edge ship?"

Furina: "Isn't this a bit off-topic?"

Furina: "Shouldn't they be discussing the contestants in the Wardance Ceremony?"

Guinaifen: "I know, these might be military enthusiasts."

Guinaifen: "For enthusiasts like this, boarding a former warship, they would definitely want to study its firepower first."

Hearing Yanqing: "The Competitive Edge ship has been decommissioned and modified, so the large weapons on it have basically been removed."

Hearing Yanqing: "So it's normal for them to feel there are few gun turrets."

Xiangling: "To be fair, I think a spaceship this big is already very spectacular and grand."

Xiangling: "If there could be a ship this big in Teyvat, it would probably be considered a wonder, right?"

The video continues.

After saying goodbye to those two strange tourists,

Miss Yunli continues walking with March 7th.

And at a corner of the stairs,

they are called out by someone.

[See the glasses on my nose?]

[This is a special 'rating lens' I bought from the Blue Star side; as long as you stare at a contestant, you can give their combat power a rating.]

The man points to the glasses he is wearing,

and says mysteriously.
