Mastering two types of Haki in less than a day—
"Kazuha, you come over as well. It would be good for you to listen to this lecture on Observation Haki."
"Yes, Master." Kaedehara Kazuha quickly ran over and knelt in the formal seiza style to listen to Su Han's lesson.
"Observation Haki. You've all already understood a lot from the brief description, but if you want to cultivate this Haki, you must have a stable state of mind."
"No matter what you encounter, your heart cannot have the slightest ripple of emotion."
"Only in this way can Observation Haki truly be activated. And when this power has been tempered to its peak, you will be able to see the short-term future."
Su Han spoke fluently and at length, and the two of them listened as if they were entranced.
Overall, Observation Haki was about making the five senses sharper and more powerful.
One could perceive an enemy's movements without needing to use their eyes, and sense any incoming attacks from their surroundings.
It could be considered a manifestation of spiritual energy.
This lesson was also uploaded by Su Han to the Multiverse Mission Group.
Following this, members of the group began to reach the entry-level of Haki one after another.
Ganyu, in particular, after watching the lesson Su Han uploaded, only took three hours to activate the power of Observation Haki.
She was a disciple of the adepti, after all. Meditative training was the most basic part of her discipline.
When Hu Tao asked Ganyu how she did it, she was told: "When I was training with my master, I could sit on the mountain for several days and nights at a time."
Alright then. That kind of ability was something Hu Tao could definitely not learn.
For someone as lively and active as her, the only way she could quiet down was if she was sick.
Even when she was a child, Hu Tao couldn't help but do handstands while reading.
And so, she completely gave up on Observation Haki.
After witnessing the power of Haki, Ningguang secretly selected a group of trusted subordinates and ordered Keqing to teach them the Haki cultivation method.
Ever since they had crushed the Fatui's prestige, those guys had become completely quiet.
But Ningguang understood that this was merely the calm before the storm.
Sooner or later, a more intense conflict with the Fatui would break out.
For the next two days, Su Han and Beidou discussed and sparred with each other, verifying their techniques.
Both of their skills improved, and naturally, their relationship also became closer.
Time passed to the evening. During their meal, Beidou brought up her plan to set sail.
"I plan to head to Mondstadt tomorrow morning, and then to Inazuma."
Su Han was slightly taken aback. "Hm? Didn't you plan to wait until The Alcor's upgrades were finished before sailing again? Why are you in such a hurry now?"
"The instant noodles in the city are too popular right now," she explained. "And that hot pot base you whipped up is also very popular. I naturally don't want to miss this opportunity to make a lot of money."
Beidou was responsible for the several hundred people of the Crux Fleet. Of course, she had to seek out benefits for them.
The instant noodles were selling so well in the city; if they were sold elsewhere, they would definitely make even more money.
Moreover, the project at the Guili Plains was a gold-eating beast. In just a few short days, it had already consumed several million Mora. Without more alchemy materials, the experiments could not continue. She had no choice but to make the trip.
In truth, Beidou quite enjoyed sparring with Su Han. It was a pity his identity was so special. Otherwise, she really would have wanted to just kidnap the guy.
Gradually, a strange emotion began to surface in the way Beidou looked at Su Han.
Su Han, naturally, did not notice. Instead, he raised his cup, using tea in place of wine, and smiled. "In that case, I wish you a smooth journey."
"I'm about to leave, and you're still drinking tea? Bring the wine! We'll just have something with a low alcohol content today."
Su Han had originally wanted to refuse, but on second thought, she was about to leave for a long journey.
Fine, just a light drink then, he thought.
As it turned out, that "light drink" turned into a heavy drinking session.
Beidou slung her arm around Su Han's neck, her face flushed red. "A man should drink more to be heroic! One more cup!"
"No, I really can't drink anymore," Su Han said, continuously shaking his head, looking as if he was about to pass out in the next second.
"Tch. Haven't you heard the saying? If the woman doesn't get drunk, the man doesn't get a chance. Get me drunk, and you can do whatever you want," she purred, her voice lingering in his ear like a devil's whisper. "Or are you just not interested in me at all? Don't think I didn't notice, when you were teaching me Haki, your eyes were watching me the whole time."
If he were sober, Su Han would probably have tried to cover it up.
But now, he was drunk. Who had time to think about all that? He directly wrapped an arm around her body and mumbled, "I can still drink."
The tipsy Beidou felt herself being grabbed somewhere, but whether it was because of the alcohol or some other reason, she didn't push Su Han away. Instead, she pulled him in to continue drinking.
She didn't know why she was acting this way. They had only known each other for a few days, but he had an inexplicable attraction for her.
The nearby Baiwen was completely dumbfounded. She felt that her massage from a few days ago was nothing compared to what Beidou was doing now. Look at that, now that's a master at work.
Su Han didn't know how many cups he drank. In any case, when he woke up, it was already eleven-thirty the next morning.
Oh, crap.
The mission has probably already refreshed, hasn't it?!
Su Han cursed inwardly. Drinking really did mess things up. He was never, ever drinking again.
