Taki Sakonji had always been confident in his teaching abilities, especially since the current Water Hashira was his disciple, one who had not initially been the most gifted among his students. The most talented disciple had been the one who spent all seven days of the assessment helping others, ultimately exhausting himself and falling victim to a demon. Taki often wondered why Tengen Uzui hadn’t taken down Shougui yet.
With over a dozen disciples lost during the Final Trial, doubts began to creep into Taki Sakonji's mind regarding his own capabilities. He questioned the strength of the demons in the Final Trial; however, every year, some individuals managed to pass. Although there were more participants now than before, the number of successful candidates remained disappointingly low.
This time, he decided to send Li Yunqing to investigate. If there were indeed powerful demons lurking about, he believed Li should be able to handle them.
A few days later, under Taki Sakonji's watchful gaze, Kei Yunqing and Selalu Lulu departed from Narrow Mist Mountain, heading towards the venue of the Final Trial. Once they were completely out of Taki Sakonji's sight, Kei Yunqing pulled out the map given by Urin Taki, compared their location, and began the teleportation process.
In a flash of blue light, the three of them vanished. When they opened their eyes, they were greeted by a vast expanse of wisteria flowers. Sera and Lilu Lu were particularly excited upon seeing the blossoms; they rushed over to pick a handful and adorned their hair with them.
"Is this wisteria? It’s so beautiful!"
Kei Yunqing followed behind them, smiling but remaining silent. After playing around for a while, they made their way along a narrow path deeper into the grove of wisteria flowers. As they ventured further in, they found themselves completely surrounded by the blooms. The sunlight filtering through made the entire Wisteria Grove glow in shades of purple.
However, the fragrance of the wisteria was not as strong as they had expected. After walking for a bit longer, they climbed some steps and passed through a Torii gate into an open area.
There was not a soul in sight.
“Didn’t those two daughters who were supposed to welcome us come?” Kei Yunqing looked around curiously.
“It seems like we might be the first ones here.”
Sera looked around and confirmed that there was indeed no one else in this vast land, not even a house in sight. Kei Yunqing didn’t think too much about it. He found a spot near the edge, set up a table and three chairs, and then took out a teapot, leisurely starting to brew tea.
Sera and Lilu Lu sat on the chairs, leaning over the table with expressions of boredom as they watched Kei Yunqing. He truly enjoyed making tea! It hadn’t been long since he stopped, and he was already at it again.
Kei Yunqing smiled. "I just enjoy the pleasure of brewing tea. If you’re bored, you can practice your swordsmanship over there for a while. I’d love to watch."
Sera and Lilu Lu thought about it and realized they were indeed bored, so they picked up the two Nichirin swords that Taki Sakonji had given them and walked to the center of the platform. Taki Sakonji had also given Kei Yunqing a Nichirin sword, but he didn’t want to take anything from other Killer Demon Swordsmen, so he had declined it.
The swords in Sera and Lilu Lu's hands were crafted by Kei Yunqing himself, using the Ape Scarlet Sand Iron and Abyssal Crimson Ore he had extracted, enhanced through Creating Magic. The quality was significantly better than before.
Thus, when the two women sparred, they were genuinely engaged in combat.
"Water Breathing Fourth Form: Striking Tide!"
Blue water flowed from their Nichirin swords, dancing along with their movements as they executed Liu Zhuan. Although the technique was the same, their movements differed slightly, causing the water to flow differently on each side.
When their strikes collided with immense force, they were pushed apart. Looking at each other, both raised their Nichirin swords, pointing them at one another; it seemed as if ripples danced on the surface of water where their blades met.
"Water Breathing Seventh Form: Water Droplet Ripple Strike!"
In an instant, both disappeared from their spots and reappeared in the center where they had just stood.
