Dialogue[]

UI Quest Quest Description

You share your feelings with Paimon before embarking on the next phase of your journey.

After collecting your thoughts, you prepare for your journey to Inazuma. The way to the islands is blocked by a veil of thunderstorms, so you need to come up with a means of traveling there.

You meet with Beidou and she agrees to grant you passage to Inazuma as a reward for winning The Crux Clash. Time to check out the competition.
(Approach the Teleport Waypoint north of Liyue Harbor)
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 01a.ogg Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 01b.ogg Paimon: Are you okay? Paimon never imagined your (‍sistersister/brotherbrother‍) would have sided with the Abyss...
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm feeling a bit better.
Icon Dialogue Talk I still can't accept it...
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Well, keep your chin up, (TravelerTraveler)!
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 03a.ogg Paimon: Paimon believes in both of you.
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: And when the going gets tough, the tough get going! Right?
Icon Dialogue Talk Yeah. You're right.
Icon Dialogue Talk There must be more to this than meets the eye.
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 05a.ogg Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 05b.ogg Paimon: (‍SheShe/HeHe‍) said we needed to "reach the end of our journey..." Paimon bets (‍sheshe/hehe‍) still has lots more to tell us!
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: And we won't find out what this "journey" is or where it will end unless we keep going!
Icon Dialogue Talk Thank you, Paimon.
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 07a.ogg Paimon: Don't mention it, partner! Travel buddies are supposed to look out for one another.
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm glad to have you as a guide, Paimon.
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 07b.ogg Paimon: Hee-hee, then Paimon will be sure to keep up the good work!
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: Although... where should we go next? If we want to continue with the journey... hmm...
Icon Dialogue Talk I still need to find that god...
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 09a.ogg Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 09b.ogg Paimon: Oh! You mean the god that took your (‍sistersister/brotherbrother‍) away in the first place...
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: ...You're right. After all, everything that followed... all this confusion... it all started with her.
Icon Dialogue Talk I need answers from her.
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 11a.ogg Paimon: Yeah, Paimon bets she's the key to understanding this whole mystery.
Icon Dialogue Talk I need to teach her a lesson she won't forget.
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 11b.ogg Paimon: Ooh, Paimon supports that idea! Just the thought of it is so satisfying!
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: Well, we've ruled out two gods so far — the Anemo and Geo Archons. So, next...
Icon Dialogue Talk Let's go to Inazuma.
Icon Dialogue Talk Let's find the Electro Archon.
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 13.ogg Paimon: Hmm... Paimon doesn't think we can simply walk into Inazuma. Zhongli said it was a closed nation. We'll have to find some other way in...
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 14.ogg Paimon: Why don't we ask someone from Inazuma how to gain entrance?
Icon Dialogue Talk Let me try and think of someone...
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm sure there's someone we've met...
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 15.ogg Paimon: Oh, Paimon's thought of someone already — Atsuko, in Liyue Harbor! She's from Inazuma.
Media:vo wylq001 1 paimon 16.ogg Paimon: Let's see what she has to say.

(Talk to Atsuko)
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 01.ogg Atsuko: Hello... Oh! I—I mean, good fortune... right? *sigh* I'm still learning to talk like a local, haha...
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 02.ogg Atsuko: Is there anything I can hep you with?
Media:vo wylq001 2 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: We wanted ask... how do we get into Inazuma?
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 03.ogg Atsuko: Ohh, so that's why you're here... Well, there is a way...
Media:vo wylq001 2 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Great! We came to the right person!
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 04.ogg Atsuko: But the chance of success is... incredibly small.
Media:vo wylq001 2 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Huh? Incredibly small? Then how did you get out of Inazuma in the first place?
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 05.ogg Atsuko: It was in leaving Inazuma that I found out just how dangerous this method truly was...
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 06.ogg Atsuko: All I had to rely on was a little wooden raft that I'd put together myself. There was a storm raging ahead of me, and my pursuers were close on my tail.
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 07.ogg Atsuko: After I'd escaped their clutches, I floated on the ocean for... I don't know how many days. My rations and fresh water supply soon ran out, and I remember getting to the point where I was sure I'd reached the end. Then, I blacked out.
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 08.ogg Atsuko: But, to my surprise, my journey didn't end there... or to put it in another way, a new beginning found me.
Icon Dialogue Talk Did someone from Liyue save you?
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 09.ogg Atsuko: That's right! I escaped by the skin of my teeth. The fact that I'm even alive to tell the tale must be a sign that the gods were watching over me.
Media:vo wylq001 2 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: What a horrible journey! And you set off knowing how dangerous it was? Why?
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 10.ogg Atsuko: Well... because everything is just too restrictive over there. The atmosphere is so stifling... The Kanjou Commission subjects everyone leaving or entering the nation to a protracted approval process, and... I felt like I didn't belong there.
Media:vo wylq001 2 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Kanjou Commission? What's that?
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 11.ogg Atsuko: Along with the other two commissions, they oversee anything in Inazuma. We usually collectively refer to them as the Tri-Commission — I suppose they're equivalent to the Eight Trades under the Liyue Qixing.
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 12.ogg Atsuko: One of the obligations of the Kanjou Commission is to conduct rigorous identity checks on all individuals leaving or entering Inazuma. All non-nationals are processed centrally on Ritou upon arrival...
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 13.ogg Atsuko: Meanwhile, the Tenryou Commission is responsible for implementing the recently promulgated Vision Hunt Decree. They act like the executive arm of the Raiden Shogun's rule, loyal yet unfeeling.
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 14.ogg Atsuko: It doesn't feel good to speak ill of my home like this... but after spending so long under that oppressive atmosphere, I began to lose all hope for the future.
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 15.ogg Atsuko: What I mean to say is... unless you have an extremely compelling reason to go to Inazuma, you should abandon your plans of trying to get there.
Icon Dialogue Talk I have a compelling reason.
Icon Dialogue Talk There are answers to questions I must know there.
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 16.ogg Atsuko: *sigh* You should know that the sea around Inazuma is engulfed in a perpetual tempest of wind and rain. Supposing you survived that, you would still need to get past the samurai guards that enforce the Sakoku Decree — the closed nation policy of Inazuma.
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 17.ogg Atsuko: And even if you did manage to find a way, you'd still have to produce the necessary documentation at the Ritou center for processing outlanders. Otherwise, you'd be kicked out immediately...
Media:vo wylq001 2 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Seems like they really don't want anyone setting foot in Inazuma, huh...
Icon Dialogue Talk But they have Ritou...
Icon Dialogue Talk But there's a place for outlanders to go, right?
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 18.ogg Atsuko: They only set that up as a port to guarantee a supply of goods and information to the island. Most outlanders would be unable to acquire the documentation needed.
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 19.ogg Atsuko: But if you really are on set going, there is one thing you can try...
Media:vo wylq001 2 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Uh... The raft idea sounds a little on the dangerous side... plus Paimon would definitely get seasick.
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 20.ogg Atsuko: That's not what I meant. You could ask someone from The Crux Fleet if they have some way of getting you to Inazuma, they're well-known in Liyue.
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 21.ogg Atsuko: Voyaging far and wide has made them a well-traveled group with a wide range of experiences. They may just know how to break through the storm.
(If the player has not met Beidou before)
Media:vo wylq001 2 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: But... it's an armed fleet, right? Why would they agree to a request like this?
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 22.ogg Atsuko: That part is up to you! If you're able to persuade their captain, Beidou, then the hardest part would be out of the way.
Icon Dialogue Talk Let's give it a try.
Icon Dialogue Talk It seems like our only option.
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 23.ogg Atsuko: The Alcor is the flagship of The Crux Fleet. I heard that it's currently anchored by Guyun Stone Forest on a supply run. This might be your best chance.
Media:vo wylq001 2 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: Then there's no time to lose! Let's go find Captain Beidou!
(If the player has met Beidou before)
Media:vo wylq001 2 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: You're right! I'm sure if we can get Beidou's help, she'll certainly find a way out of this mess. Her crew is super strong!
Media:vo wylq001 2 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: Paimon wonders if she'll be willing to take this risk...
Icon Dialogue Talk Let's give it a try.
Icon Dialogue Talk It seems like our only option.
Media:vo wylq001 2 atsuko 24.ogg Atsuko: The Alcor is the flagship of The Crux Fleet. I heard that it's currently anchored by Guyun Stone Forest on a supply run. This might be your best chance.
Media:vo wylq001 2 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: What are we waiting for? Let's go find Beidou right away!

(Approach Beidou, if the player has not met Beidou before)
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 01.ogg Beidou: Hmm? Who've we got here... Wait, I know you. You're that traveler, (TravelerTraveler), aren't you? The one who fought against the Fatui and Osial, right?
Icon Dialogue Talk Have we met?
Icon Dialogue Talk My reputation precedes me...
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 02.ogg Beidou: Haha, Ningguang told me about you. "A traveler of great insight and remarkable skill has saved Liyue," she said.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 03.ogg Beidou: She's a hard one to please... so praise from her is high praise indeed. I remember thinking at the time that it'd be good to meet you in person.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 04.ogg Beidou: Judging by the clothes on your back and this floating thing, I guess that time has come.
Media:vo wylq001 3 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Hey! The name's not "floating thing," it's PAIMON!
(Approach Beidou, if the player has met Beidou before)
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 10.ogg Beidou: Oh? If it isn't (TravelerTraveler) and Paimon!
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 11.ogg Beidou: I knew you guys would come, hahaha!
Media:vo wylq001 3 kazuha 01.ogg ???: Paimon... hmm... What a fascinating being. You two give off not only the essence of wind and earth, but also of... yes... the stars...
Media:vo wylq001 3 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Eh? The fragrance of what now? That's the weirdest compliment Paimon's ever heard...
Media:vo wylq001 3 kazuha 02.ogg ???: Pay it no heed... I mean only to say I am certain... that it is by fate, not chance alone, that we should meet... and that gives our encounter meaning.
Icon Dialogue Talk Is this guy a bard, by any chance?
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a.ogg Beidou: You're not far off, but they go by a different name in Inazuma.
Icon Dialogue Talk ...And this must be your bard-for-hire?
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05b.ogg Beidou: Uh, I prefer... other means of entertainment.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 1.ogg Beidou: This young man is Kaedehara Kazuha, a temporary addition to my crew for reasons I won't bore you with. Occasionally, he opens his mouth and flowers come out instead of words.
Media:vo wylq001 3 kazuha 02a.ogg Kaedehara Kazuha: With this fine ship and the soft sea breeze... would it not be romantically irresponsible of me not to acknowledge it with a line or two of poetry?
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 2.ogg Beidou: Haha, can't argue with that... Okay then, once The Clash is underway, I'll give you a chance to perform.
Media:vo wylq001 3 kazuha 02a 1.ogg Kaedehara Kazuha: Only if the mood takes me, of course. Poetry for poetry's sake tends to lack meaning.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 3.ogg Beidou: Hey, you don't wanna pass this opportunity up too easily, especially seeing as our great hero might be in attendance.
Media:vo wylq001 3 paimon 02a.ogg Paimon: Wait a minute, what's The Clash? Also, just to clarify, by "great hero"... do you mean...
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 4.ogg Beidou: Huh? I thought you might be here to sign up... You're telling me you've never even heard of it?
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 5.ogg Beidou: The Crux Clash is a martial arts tournament that I hold. There'll be a whole bunch of folks taking part to showcase their talents.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 6.ogg Beidou: There are two important rules. One — competitors must be renowned fighters. We want those with real martial arts ability, not just people taking part for the fun of it.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 7.ogg Beidou: So, you've got nothing to worry about there. I don't think there's anyone out there who hasn't heard of you.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 8.ogg Beidou: Two — you can't take part if you've got a Vision. Otherwise, things get a little... one-sided.
Icon Dialogue Talk I don't have a Vision, but—
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 9.ogg Beidou: Haha, you must be feeling confident, but you might wanna watch out — there are a few crouching tigers and hidden dragons lurking around in Liyue.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 10.ogg Beidou: And with Liyue's savior taking part in the tournament... now that's gonna turn a few heads. I think we can expect a healthy turnout this time...
Media:vo wylq001 3 paimon 02a 1.ogg Paimon: But... we didn't come here to take part in a martial arts tournament.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 11.ogg Beidou: Well, before you dismiss the idea completely, you might be interested to hear that the prize this time 'round is particularly sought after...
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 12.ogg Beidou: Get this — it's a Masterless Vision!
Media:vo wylq001 3 kazuha 02a 2.ogg Kaedehara Kazuha: Supplied by myself, as a matter of fact. If the tournament champion can reawaken the Vision... it belongs to them.
Media:vo wylq001 3 paimon 02a 2.ogg Paimon: Is there really such thing as a masterless Vision!?
Icon Dialogue Talk Why doesn't it have a master?
Media:vo wylq001 3 kazuha 02a 3.ogg Kaedehara Kazuha: When a Vision bearer dies, the light in their Vision will fade away. But the shell that housed that light remains.
Media:vo wylq001 3 kazuha 02a 4.ogg Kaedehara Kazuha: As for whether this shell has any practical application, well, this remains to be seen. But my intuition tells me that while it remains in the world, it may just be possible for someone else to inherit it.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 13.ogg Beidou: Yep, and the way I see it, a Vision is a badge of recognition from the gods — so if anyone's able to rekindle it, it's got to be an individual of exceptional strength and talent.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 14.ogg Beidou: Organizing The Clash is my way of uncovering hidden talents... and hopefully, this time, of getting a Vision to glow again.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 05a 15.ogg Beidou: So, if you don't have a Vision, this is the perfect opportunity to get your hands on one of your very own.
Icon Dialogue Talk To be honest, I'm not interested.
Icon Dialogue Talk A Vision is of no use to me.
Media:vo wylq001 3 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Yeah, we're interested in getting to Inazuma, not fighting in some tournament!
Media:vo wylq001 3 kazuha 03.ogg Kaedehara Kazuha: Inazuma? You... want to go there?
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 06.ogg Beidou: Well, why didn't you say so! Inazuma? No sweat.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 07.ogg Beidou: In that case, if you win the tournament, I'll give you a choice: Masterless Vision, or a ticket to Inazuma aboard The Alcor. Up to you.
Icon Dialogue Talk That was easy!
Media:vo wylq001 3 paimon 04a.ogg Media:vo wylq001 3 paimon 04b.ogg Paimon: You just want (‍himhim/herher‍) to take part in your tournament!
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 08.ogg Beidou: Hahaha, what's wrong with that? The more talent we have, the better the tournament will be. I couldn't let a competitor like you fall through the net.
Media:vo wylq001 3 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: What're we gonna do, (TravelerTraveler)? *sigh* Looks like we pretty much have to do this tournament if we want to get to Inazuma, huh?
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm not worried.
Icon Dialogue Talk Let's give this a shot.
Media:vo wylq001 3 beidou 09.ogg Beidou: Great, then, let's get you signed up! Head to the tournament arena in Guyun Stone Forest. Kazuha and I will be over soon.
Media:vo wylq001 3 kazuha 04.ogg Kaedehara Kazuha: It seems like it will only be a matter of time before the answer is revealed...
(Talk to Beidou)
Media:vo dialog wylq001 beidou 01.ogg Beidou: Go on, get yourself to Guyun and sign up already.
Media:vo dialog wylq001 beidou 02.ogg Beidou: I've already fixed up the arena. You can't miss it.
(Talk to Kazuha)
Media:vo dialog wylq001 kazuha 01.ogg Kaedehara Kazuha: Martial arts tournaments always remind me of the duels they have back in Inazuma...
Media:vo dialog wylq001 kazuha 02.ogg Kaedehara Kazuha: But when the combatants are obliged to exercise restraint, it is unlikely they will ever display their true potential.

(Approach the arena)
Media:vo wylq001 6 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Before we sign up, let's see who the other competitors are!
Media:vo wylq001 6 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Beidou said that they had to be renowned fighters. Hmm, who will we be up against?
(Talk to Uncle Yun)
Media:vo wylq001 7 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Hello, are you here to compete in The Crux Clash?
Media:vo wylq001 7 uncleyun 01.ogg Uncle Yun: You bet I am, have you put your names down yet?
Icon Dialogue Talk Not yet.
Icon Dialogue Talk We just wanted to take a look around first.
Media:vo wylq001 7 uncleyun 02.ogg Uncle Yun: Well, I'd have a look at the entrance criteria if I were you. They don't allow just anyone to take part.
Media:vo wylq001 7 uncleyun 03.ogg Uncle Yun: The Clash is a comprehensive test of fighting ability. Anyone who turns up for show over skill is gonna get their butt handed to them.
Media:vo wylq001 7 uncleyun 04.ogg Uncle Yun: Tsk, nobody wants to see that, right?
Media:vo wylq001 7 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Yeah, we heard a rule about that. So Paimon's wondering... are you a renowned fighter?
Media:vo wylq001 7 uncleyun 05.ogg Uncle Yun: Hahaha, me? Only a former runner-up in the Chihu Rock Freestyle Combat Summit! Oh yeah...
Icon Dialogue Talk Former...
Icon Dialogue Talk Runner up...
Media:vo wylq001 7 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Uh-huh... Also, that doesn't sound like the most official tournament out there...
Media:vo wylq001 7 uncleyun 06.ogg Uncle Yun: What!? You... Nonsense! Have you been living under a rock? It's been going on for years! There were plenty of competitors when I took part!
Media:vo wylq001 7 uncleyun 07.ogg Uncle Yun: Not to mention, I've helped the Millelith catch Treasure Hoarders before! There were two of them trying to escape — I soon sorted them out.
Media:vo wylq001 7 uncleyun 08.ogg Uncle Yun: They tried to sneak past me under the cover of darkness... Ha! They didn't know what hit 'em.
Media:vo wylq001 7 uncleyun 09.ogg Uncle Yun: I planted a left hook on the skinnier one's face and sent him flying. Then, the big guy pulled out a knife!
Media:vo wylq001 7 uncleyun 10.ogg Uncle Yun: I stood my ground, of course. A roundhouse kick sent the blade hurtling into a beam above us.
Icon Dialogue Talk Sounds, uh... impressive.
Icon Dialogue Talk Sounds, um... dangerous.
Media:vo wylq001 7 uncleyun 11.ogg Uncle Yun: Hahaha, I told you! Unarmed, outnumbered two to one, but I still got the upper hand!
Media:vo wylq001 7 uncleyun 12.ogg Uncle Yun: I'm not saying I came out completely unscathed of course, but the fact remains that I did manage to subdue both of them... AND hand them over to the Millelith. I received quite the commendation! Oh yeah...
Media:vo wylq001 7 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Uh-huh... But for us, even four or five Treasure Hoarders at a time is all in a day's work...
Icon Dialogue Talk Thanks for letting us know...
Media:vo wylq001 7 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Mm-hmm... Alright, we're gonna keep looking around.
Media:vo wylq001 7 uncleyun 13.ogg Uncle Yun: I'll see you in the arena. Tsk, but I don't plan on losing to a pair of children any time soon!
(Talk to Uncle Yun again)
Media:vo dialog wylq001 uncleyun 01a.ogg Uncle Yun: See you in the arena, kid!
Media:vo dialog wylq001 uncleyun 02.ogg Uncle Yun: Watch out for my signature roundhouse!
(Talk to Jinyou)
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 01.ogg Jinyou: Hey, youngster. Are you here for The Crux Clash too?
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 02.ogg Jinyou: If so... seems I've found myself another new adversary.
Media:vo wylq001 11 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: So you're also here for the tournament?
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 03.ogg Jinyou: You better believe it. I wouldn't be here if I didn't think I could walk away as a champion.
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 04.ogg Jinyou: For me, obtaining a Vision is the final and most important piece in the puzzle that is my life.
Icon Dialogue Talk Do you want to become an adventurer?
Icon Dialogue Talk Do you want to become a hero?
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 05.ogg Jinyou: No, no, no — it's not about what I want to do. This is about who I want to be. I am looking to become a perfect person.
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 06.ogg Jinyou: I know how that sounds, but let me explain. I've lived a successful life so far, without any setbacks.
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 07.ogg Jinyou: I've passed every exam I've ever taken, enjoyed numerous successful business ventures, and seem to get on with just about everyone socially...
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 08.ogg Jinyou: In most people's eyes, I am already the very embodiment of the perfect person, though of course, I'd never let the praise get to my head. I know I haven't reached perfection yet... because there's one thing I'm still missing...
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 09.ogg Jinyou: ...A Vision.
Media:vo wylq001 11 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: You have so much self-confidence...
Icon Dialogue Talk Do you have tournament experience?
Icon Dialogue Talk Are you a renowned fighter?
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 10.ogg Jinyou: That's not important... I have a contact in The Crux Fleet who was happy to vouch for me. So, they very kindly made special arrangements on my behalf.
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 11.ogg Jinyou: I've also brought along a bit of entourage, for moral support. It's such a blessing, really, to have so many good friends in my neighborhood.
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 12.ogg Jinyou: Of course, I also put in a few good days' practice, concentrating mostly on rare and esoteric styles of kung fu. As a high-achiever by nature, I'm confident I've done enough to guarantee my victory in this tournament.
Icon Dialogue Talk Don't be so sure.
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 13a.ogg Jinyou: Hah, you don't mince your words, do you... The arena will be the judge.
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm sure you have.
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 13b.ogg Jinyou: Haha, I seem to have gained another fan. Don't let my aura overwhelm you, though. You'll need your wits about you today.
Media:vo wylq001 11 jinyou 14.ogg Jinyou: Now then, if you don't mind, I need to finish my pre-competition routine. It's not too long now before you'll get to see me in action.
(Talk to Chai Yi or Liang)
Media:vo wylq001 9 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Hi there, are you here for The Crux Clash too?
Media:vo wylq001 9 chaiyi 01.ogg Chai Yi: That's right. Nothing beats real-life combat for honing your skills. That's what our master taught us.
Media:vo wylq001 9 chaiyi 02.ogg Chai Yi: But this tournament is more than just a chance to put training into practice — it's also a chance for us to obtain the Masterless Vision.
Media:vo wylq001 9 liang 01.ogg Liang: Exactly! With a Vision, we'd quickly become our master's top students.
Media:vo wylq001 9 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: This master of yours must be pretty incredible, huh... Are they someone famous?
Media:vo wylq001 9 chaiyi 03.ogg Chai Yi: Famous? He's the founder of the Lingshan Clan, and his skills are unparalleled! Liang and I are both disciples of his.
Icon Dialogue Talk The Lingshan Clan...?
Icon Dialogue Talk Doesn't ring a bell.
Media:vo wylq001 9 chaiyi 04.ogg Chai Yi: You probably wouldn't have heard of it, it was founded quite recently. The clan is nowhere near as famous as the master himself, anyway.
Media:vo wylq001 9 chaiyi 05.ogg Chai Yi: He's got to be a grandmaster or something. He's created many different styles of kung fu, and countless other clans have borrowed extensively from him.
Media:vo wylq001 9 chaiyi 06.ogg Chai Yi: To the Lingshan Clan, he teaches a special technique known as "force dispersal."
Media:vo wylq001 9 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: "Force dispersal"?
Media:vo wylq001 9 chaiyi 07.ogg Chai Yi: It's a type of breathing exercise where you can train yourself to harness the energy around you and neutralize attacks without moving an inch.
Media:vo wylq001 9 chaiyi 08.ogg Chai Yi: For example, our master can use it to alter the path of an attacking fist, or change the direction of an incoming stone, all without breaking a sweat!
Media:vo wylq001 9 liang 02.ogg Liang: One time, he sent a challenger flying into the air without lifting a finger!
Icon Dialogue Talk Is that really possible?
Media:vo wylq001 9 chaiyi 09.ogg Chai Yi: It sure is! But it's extremely difficult to cultivate this ability. We've been training for ages, and we're still getting to grips with the very basics. There's no way we could use it proficiently yet.
Media:vo wylq001 9 liang 03.ogg Liang: *sigh* We're clearly not that naturally gifted, or we would have at least gotten the gist by now... If we don't start making progress soon, we'll probably run out of money to pay the tuition fees and still have nothing to show for all our training...
Media:vo wylq001 9 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: There's a tuition fee!?
Media:vo wylq001 9 liang 04.ogg Liang: Of course! This is a grandmaster we're talking about here. He doesn't have time to waste. If you want face-to-face training, you've gotta show you're sincere about it.
Media:vo wylq001 9 chaiyi 10.ogg Chai Yi: *sigh* But here we are, having trained under him directly all this time without even a hint of improvement. Master is getting increasingly impatient with us.
Media:vo wylq001 9 chaiyi 11.ogg Chai Yi: Recently, though, we heard that a Vision bearer joined the Guhua Clan and made pretty much instant progress in their training.
Media:vo wylq001 9 liang 05.ogg Liang: So, if we can get our hands on a Vision, too, maybe we can finally make our master proud!
Icon Dialogue Talk A Vision won't make you better at martial arts.
Icon Dialogue Talk There may be other reasons why you can't seem to master this technique...
Media:vo wylq001 9 chaiyi 12.ogg Chai Yi: Well, we have to try something new, otherwise, we're stuck in the same situation.
Media:vo wylq001 9 liang 06.ogg Liang: Exactly, it can't hurt to try. And if it turns out it does work, the Lingshan Clan will go down in history!
Media:vo wylq001 9 liang 07.ogg Liang: Folks will come from far and wide. Heck, we could even become the dominant martial arts clan in all of Liyue!
Icon Dialogue Talk Well... that's the spirit.
Icon Dialogue Talk Can't fault you for trying...
Media:vo wylq001 9 chaiyi 13.ogg Chai Yi: See you in the arena!
(Talk to Chai Yi or Liang again)
Media:vo dialog wylq001 chaiyi 01.ogg Chai Yi: If we win... we could even start our own clan and take disciples of our own!
Media:vo dialog wylq001 liang 01.ogg Liang: Keep your voice down! What if the master heard you'd been saying something like that, huh?
(After talking to all three)
Media:vo wylq001 12 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: So to recap... we're up against an inflated ego, some gullible guys paying way too much for their kung fu classes, and another guy who's just... really average.
Media:vo wylq001 12 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Hmm.... Seems like you've got a pretty good chance of winning this thing, (TravelerTraveler)!
Media:vo wylq001 12 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: C'mon, let's go sign up!

(Talk to Zhuhan)
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 01.ogg Zhuhan: Qingce Village Armwrestling Champion, huh... *sigh* Alright, you're signed up...
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 02.ogg Zhuhan: Next please... what's your name?
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm (TravelerTraveler).
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 03.ogg Zhuhan: (TravelerTraveler)... Wait! A—Aren't you...!?
Media:vo wylq001 13 competitora 01.ogg Clash Competitor: Did I hear that right? (TravelerTraveler)?
Media:vo wylq001 13 competitorb 01.ogg Clash Competitor: Is it really them?
Media:vo wylq001 13 competitorc 01.ogg Clash Competitor: ...Huh? Aren't they a Vision bearer, though? Why are they trying to enter the Clash?
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 04.ogg Zhuhan: Uh... I—I have to ask... aren't you the traveler that helped Liyue fight off that ancient god...?
Icon Dialogue Talk Correct.
Media:vo wylq001 13 competitora 02a.ogg Media:vo wylq001 13 competitora 02b.ogg Clash Competitor: It's really (‍himhim/herher‍)!
Media:vo wylq001 13 competitorb 02.ogg Clash Competitor: The one that spoke with Lady Keqing at the Rite of Parting!
Media:vo wylq001 13 competitorc 02a.ogg Media:vo wylq001 13 competitorc 02b.ogg Clash Competitor: Oh! Oh! I wonder if I can get (‍hishis/herher‍) autograph later?
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 05.ogg Zhuhan: I—I trust you are aware that... only those without Visions can enter the tournament?
Icon Dialogue Talk I don't have a Vision.
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 06.ogg Zhuhan: Really? B—But from what I've heard, the things you're capable of in combat are... nothing short of extraordinary... You walk into the most dangerous situations imaginable, face off against all sorts of monsters — even the Fatui — and always come out on top!
Media:vo wylq001 13 paimon 01a.ogg Media:vo wylq001 13 paimon 01b.ogg Paimon: Yup! (‍HeHe/SheShe‍) still doesn't have a Vision though. See for yourself!
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 07.ogg Zhuhan: My apologies, I didn't mean to be rude. I'm sure a great hero like yourself would have no reason to lie. Now, could I ask you to provide a few claims to fame?
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 08.ogg Zhuhan: It's just a formality for you, of course, but I have to make a record of competitors' achievements as part of the sign-up process...
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 09.ogg Zhuhan: So far I've got "Defeated the ancient god, Osial," so that's one. Do you... have any others?
Icon Dialogue Talk I defeated a Fatui Harbinger.
Media:vo wylq001 13 paimon 02a.ogg Paimon: Yeah, and also a dragon, too! Put down "Battle with Stormterror"!
Icon Dialogue Talk I saved Dvalin.
Media:vo wylq001 13 paimon 02b.ogg Paimon: Yeah, put that down! And also, "Defeated the Fatui Harbinger, Childe."
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm the Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius.
Media:vo wylq001 13 paimon 02c.ogg Paimon: Yeah! Also, don't forget to mention that previous battles include, but are not limited to "Stormterror" Dvalin and Fatui Harbinger, Childe.
Media:vo wylq001 13 competitora 03.ogg Clash Competitor: Whoa...
Media:vo wylq001 13 competitorb 03a.ogg Media:vo wylq001 13 competitorb 03b.ogg Clash Competitor: Might as well declare (‍himhim/herher‍) the champion already.
Media:vo wylq001 13 competitorc 03.ogg Clash Competitor: I wonder if it's too late to withdraw?
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 10.ogg Zhuhan: Okay, um... that's plenty... Actually, this is the most dazzling track record I've ever seen, by a long shot...
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 11.ogg Zhuhan: Right, your registration is complete. Now, a brief word about the prize.
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 12.ogg Zhuhan: A great hero such as yourself can surely only be here for one thing — to win the tournament and claim the grand prize, namely, a Vision.
Media:vo wylq001 13 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Oh, we're not here for that. We're here because Captain Beidou promised to take us to Inazuma if we win the tournament.
Media:vo wylq001 13 competitora 04.ogg Clash Competitor: There's another prize too? First I've heard of it!
Media:vo wylq001 13 competitorb 04.ogg Clash Competitor: Beidou must have upped the stakes this time to attract top talent!
Media:vo wylq001 13 competitorc 04.ogg Clash Competitor: But why would anyone want to go somewhere as dangerous as Inazuma?
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 13.ogg Zhuhan: ...I see, so... I take it you discussed your terms with Beidou in advance, then.
Icon Dialogue Talk Everyone's misunderstanding the situation.
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 14a.ogg Zhuhan: Well, nobody expected you to sign up to a tournament like this... I can hardly believe it myself, to be honest...
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm just not that interested in Visions, that's all.
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 14b.ogg Zhuhan: Well, I'm sure a great hero has an important reason for being here.
Media:vo wylq001 13 zhuhan 15.ogg Zhuhan: Anyway, the qualifying rounds are about to begin. I'll leave you to your preparation.
Media:vo wylq001 13 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Hey, so, Paimon's thinking about that whole "no Vision bearers" rule in this tournament.
Media:vo wylq001 13 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Even though you don't have a Vision, most people in Teyvat think that you can't manipulate the elements without one.
Media:vo wylq001 13 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: So Paimon thinks you probably shouldn't use your elemental abilities during the tournament. Y'know, just to avoid any misunderstandings.
Media:vo wylq001 13 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: In any case, looking at the competition, it should still be pretty easy for you to win even without using any elements, right?
Icon Dialogue Talk Makes sense.
Media:vo wylq001 13 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: Alright, it's showtime! You got this!
Media:vo wylq001 14 zhuhan 01.ogg Zhuhan: You seem like you're raring to go. Are you ready to compete?
Icon Dialogue Talk Yes, I'm ready.
Media:vo wylq001 14 zhuhan 02a.ogg Zhuhan: Good, then please follow me into the arena.
(First fight begins, continues to The Crux Clash)
Icon Dialogue Talk Not quite.
Media:vo wylq001 14 zhuhan 02b.ogg Zhuhan: Not a problem, there's still time. Make sure you're fully prepared!
