I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

However, Li Xiao did not rush to join the conversation, but instead opened his private chat with Yakumo Yukari.

Li Xiao: "I've found a way to resolve the crisis in Gensokyo."

Yakumo Yukari: “!!!”

She immediately stopped chatting in the group and focused her attention on her private chat with Li Xiao.

Yukari Yakumo: "Explain in detail!"

Li Xiao: "I recently acquired an ability that can grant others the power of seeds. You can use this power to replace your original power, so you won't need to rely on fear to survive anymore."

Yukari Yakumo: "Then why don't you come over and try it now?"

Li Xiao: "Okay, but I have to tell you something beforehand."

Yukari Yakumo: "What?"

She was a little nervous. Would they add any more conditions at this point?

Li Xiao: "The way I activate this ability is a bit peculiar; I have to do *that* kind of thing, you know?"

Yukari Yakumo: "...I understand, you can come over here first."

Inside a Japanese-style bedroom at the Yakumo House.

Li Xiao crossed the portal in the chat group and appeared here.

"Hello, Li Xiao, nice to meet you. I am Yakumo Yukari."

Yukari Yakumo greeted Li Xiao politely.

"Hello, Zi."

Ignoring the slightly intimate form of address, Yukari Yakumo spoke somewhat hastily:

When do we start?

She wanted to try Li Xiao's method as soon as possible to see if it would work.

Have you prepared a candidate?

"How about Kazami Yuuka? If you can beat her, she should accept you."

Yukari Yakumo chooses to sell her 'old friend'.

I thought you would be the first to lead the charge.

Yukari Yakumo opened her folding fan and covered the lower half of her face.

"Well, we still want to be cautious about this kind of thing."

She wouldn't hand herself over just because of some uncertain news.

"So, didn't you say before that your Yakumo family would be the first to go?"

"Well... once you've won over Yuuka Kazami, I'll do anything you want~"

After saying that, she even gave Li Xiao a flirty wink.

To put it bluntly, she just wanted a guarantee first. She also wanted to test just how strong Li Xiao was.

Li Xiao was well aware of this, but since he wanted to surpass Kazami Yuuka anyway, it didn't matter who he surpassed first.

"Then let's go. Open a gap and send me through."

With a flick of her wrist, Yukari Yakumo created a gap about one person tall and half a meter wide in front of Li Xiao.

Before Li Xiao could get there, a thick magic cannon shot towards him, which he blocked with a wind wall.

"Yukari Yakumo? What are you up to now?"

A pleasant female voice came from the other side of the gap.

The magic cannon dissipated, and appearing on the other side of the gap was a girl with green hair, wearing a plaid skirt and holding a parasol.

Kazami Yuuka was standing in the sunflower field, looking at Yakumo Yukari with some displeasure.

"Youxiang, it's not us looking for you this time, it's this guy next to us."

"you?"

Kazami Yuuka sized up Li Xiao, the person who had just blocked her magic cannon.

Only then did she realize that this man exuded a strong sense of danger.

"ha...."

This long-lost feeling brought a bloodthirsty smile to Yuuka Kazami's lips.

"Are you here to fight me?"

No, I just want to have you.

Li Xiao remained as honest as ever.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Are you trying to provoke me?"

Kazami Yuuka narrowed her eyes, a surge of anger rising within her, and she was ready to make her move.

"But I heard Zi say that as long as I beat you, I can make demands of you and get everything from you?"

"I see, the law of the jungle... So that works too. If you can do it, then come on! Come forward and challenge me. If you win, you'll get what you want!"

"Oh dear, Yuuka Kazami, I must correct you on something..."

Li Xiao stepped through the gap with a casual expression.

"You are the challenger!"

The moment he said those words, Yuuka Kazami's magic cannon fired again.

But Li Xiao wrapped his palm with wind elemental power and casually flicked it, changing the direction of the magic cannon's attack.

"Such weak attacks are useless against me!"

"Really? How about this then?"

After charging up for a few seconds, Kazami Yuuka unleashed a magical cannon nearly ten times larger than before.

Li Xiao increased his efforts and used a wind barrier to block the attack. The ground was immediately overturned by the clash between the two, raising a large cloud of dust.

Suddenly, he heard a whooshing sound behind him, and a fist came straight at the back of his head.

"Back to the days!"

He spun rapidly with the wind, mimicking the "Rotation" technique from Naruto, and flung Yuuka Kazami away.

Kazami Yuuka braced herself with her hands and slammed on the brakes. After she came to a stop, her hands were covered in blood and gore.

But despite feeling the pain, Kazami Yuuka burst into maniacal laughter.

"Hahaha! That's the feeling! Come on! Let's keep fighting!"

She rushed towards Li Xiao again, and Li Xiao noticed that her hands had returned to normal.

"It seems its recovery ability is quite good, so I don't need to hold back anymore."

He enveloped himself in wind elemental power and slapped Yuuka Kazami away.

Then Kazami Yuuka rushed up again, and he slapped her away once more.

In fact, Li Xiao's physical strength is inferior to Kazami Yuuka's, but who can blame him for having more energy?

With the aid of elemental power, the gap between Kazami Yuuka and him is enormous.

He also used his wind elemental power to experience the thrill of spinning a top again after a long time.

"Oh dear, this is truly a tragic scene..."

Yukari Yakumo opened a gap in the sky to observe the battle, and casually set up a barrier around herself to block the aftershocks of their fight.

Seeing how badly Kazami Yuuka had been beaten, she couldn't help but sigh with a touch of pity.

Before long, Kazami Yuuka's entire body became tattered and torn, and even the speed at which she could heal her injuries decreased significantly.

"Give up, you've already done your best."

He didn't really want to use such a heavy hand, but if he didn't beat Yuuka Kazami into submission, she wouldn't obediently listen to him.

"It's not over yet... This is only the beginning!"

Kazami Yuuka ripped off her left hand, which was now just a thin layer of skin hanging from it, and began to draw strength from the surrounding natural environment.

Soon, her left hand grew back, and her aura began to rise steadily.

"Alright, let's begin the second round!"

P.S.: Tomorrow's plot involves taking down several people, so I'll post it later after the reviewers finish their workday, otherwise I don't know if it will get banned. It'll probably be around 6 PM.

Main text: Chapter Ninety-Five: Accepting Yuuka Kazami

Kazami Yuuka's methods are not particularly special; they are simply extreme power and speed.

But it is this simple power that has placed her almost at the pinnacle of Gensokyo.

Although Li Xiao seemed to be fighting Kazami Yuuka with ease, it was only because their energy levels were so far apart.

If their strength were on the same level, Li Xiao believed he would not be a match for Kazami Yuuka.

But alas, he opened it.

Even though Kazami Yuuka entered the second stage, the outcome remained unchanged; she was still being casually slapped around by Li Xiao.

Soon, she was seriously injured again.

Moreover, this time the injury was more severe, with all four limbs twisted and completely unable to move.

Li Xiao approached Kazemi Yuuka and looked down at her.

"So? Are you convinced now?"
