Shifting his attention to the new entry in the skill panel, Wang Daoyi clicked on the name that gleamed with a golden hue.
Name: Divine Form
Description: By communicating with the depths of the soul's divine knowledge, enter the Divine Form. In this form, you will gain immense enhancement. However, using this power will also be contaminated by the divine knowledge.
Effects: Upon activating Divine Form, your mastery over elements receives additional enhancement. The speed at which you gather elements is greatly increased, as is the intensity of the elements you condense. Your proficiency in elemental manipulation will see a significant improvement, and you can briefly enter the divine realm.
Note: Since the master of the divine knowledge has granted you authority, you will not be contaminated upon activating Divine Form. However, prolonged exposure to the divine realm will lead to assimilation, which cannot be reversed. Use this ability with caution.
Note: Due to hierarchical reasons, some emotions will be suppressed upon entering Divine Form. This suppression is temporary, and emotions will return to normal upon deactivating Divine Form.
A powerful, incredibly powerful ability. On Wang Daoyi's panel, there was no skill that could compare to this form. With this form, Wang Daoyi now had the ability to compete with the first-tier forces on the surface of the Teyvat continent.
Take Tartaglia, for example. Before communicating with the Gnosis, Wang Daoyi could only rely on various formations and props to have a slight chance of defeating him, even in his normal state as a young master.
But now, not only had Wang Daoyi caught up to Tartaglia's normal level 55 life level, but he had also acquired the Form skill. Even if Tartaglia entered his Delusion state or Demon King Armed state, Wang Daoyi had the confidence to confront him.
Of course, the premise was not to be led into the rhythm of the battle by Tartaglia, otherwise, the master of various combat techniques like Tartaglia could easily control Wang Daoyi.
Seeing Wang Daoyi's rapidly rising spirits, Zhongli took a sip of tea and nodded inwardly. That's right, this is what it means to be young and assertive. What's the point of being young if you don't show your edge like this?
"It seems you've already understood the function of this divine knowledge!" Zhongli's voice awakened Wang Daoyi from his ecstatic state of becoming stronger.
Nodding, Wang Daoyi expressed his gratitude earnestly, "Yes, it's unexpectedly powerful. Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
Ignoring Wang Daoyi's gratitude, or rather, Zhongli didn't expect any gratitude from him. To him, Wang Daoyi's level was too low, and perhaps he would become his helper or companion in the future, but for now, he was still just a child.
"Divine knowledge brings great power, but this power belongs to the divine knowledge, not to you. So, when you use it, you should understand it truly and make it your own."
"Although I have completely contaminated your soul and divinized it, this comes from my power. You still need to re-understand yourself now!"
Listening carefully to Zhongli's guidance, Wang Daoyi's eyes showed a solemn expression. He knew Zhongli wouldn't deceive him, and what Zhongli said made sense.
After coming to Teyvat, most of his strength had been learned slowly by himself. Although many of them came from various books, rather than his own research and development, today was the first time he had gained unimaginable power directly by communicating with the Gnosis.
And this easy-to-come power had reduced his degree of control over it.
It wasn't that Wang Daoyi's power had weakened, but his familiarity with the power had decreased.
It's like, originally Wang Daoyi could mobilize 100 points of power, and these 100 points could produce an effect of 120 points. But now, Wang Daoyi could mobilize 300 points of power, but these 300 points could only produce an effect of 260 points.
Seemingly more powerful, but in reality, unable to unleash all the power.
"Your Majesty, what should I do?"
If it were an ordinary day, Wang Daoyi could only familiarize himself with unfamiliar power by spending a lot of time training.
But now, there happened to be a God of War nearby, of course, it's best to ask this elder.
After pondering for a while, Zhongli mentioned a name: " Tartaglia."
Tartaglia!
Wang Daoyi immediately understood Zhongli's meaning. To become familiar with unfamiliar power, besides spending a lot of time training, fighting naturally was the best way.
And among the people currently available in Liyue, there were not many who could make Wang Daoyi exert all his strength.
Zhongli definitely wouldn't accompany Wang Daoyi to fight; he would rather go listen to operas.
As for Xiangling, Xingqiu, and Chongyun, they hadn't lit up their constellation stars yet. They were enough to deal with ordinary monsters and thieves, but it might be a bit early for them to fight Wang Daoyi, who had entered Divine Form.
As for Hu Tao, if she didn't use the Protection of Mortal Flames, then she couldn't fight Wang Daoyi. If she used the Staff of Homa, under the influence of the Unrestrained Flames, Wang Daoyi couldn't guarantee the safety of both of them.
After much thought, it seemed that Tartaglia, an outsider to Liyue, was the most suitable.
And it just so happened that Tartaglia himself was the best at fighting. Just by asking if he wanted to fight, he would probably agree.
Thinking that Tartaglia also had a Form skill, excitement surged in Wang Daoyi's heart.
For the first time since he came to this world, he felt excited for battle.
Seeing Wang Daoyi's excitement and impatience, Zhongli didn't say much. He raised his cup to indicate that Wang Daoyi could leave, not to disturb him while he enjoyed his tea.
With respectful farewells to Morax, who was leisurely drinking tea, Wang Daoyi, filled with intense battle intent, began to search for Tartaglia.
Although he didn't know where Tartaglia lived, he could simply go to the Northland Bank. These days, he tagged along with Zhongli and Tartaglia to their dinners every day, and many of the fatui who followed Tartaglia had already recognized him.
Arriving at the Northland Bank, coincidentally, Tartaglia was just outside the bank.
Feeling the intense gaze from behind, Tartaglia narrowed his eyes. He sensed strong battle intent, which calmly stirred his blood, responding with equally fierce battle intent to the probing behind him.
Turning his head to look, he saw a white-clad youth with the Geo Vision dangling from his waist, staring intently at him.
The double-blade that had appeared in his hand returned to its sheath, reverting from its transformed state into a peculiar bow, and was put away again. Without a word, Tartaglia gave the youth a glance.
"I thought someone was trying to assassinate me, but it turns out to be you. What's up, Daoyi, coming to me for?" Tartaglia asked casually. "Not here to borrow money, are you!"
Seeing Tartaglia suddenly appear with the peculiar bow and arrow in his hand, Wang Daoyi's mind came up with a name, Polar Star.
Although it was also a five-star weapon in the game, this bow felt far less impressive to Wang Daoyi compared to the Staff of Homa.
"It's not about borrowing money. The chaotic interest rates of your Northland Bank are almost higher than those of loan sharks. Cut the nonsense, I'm here to challenge you to a fight!"
