In some ways, this guy is a youkai who can sense danger even more directly than Yukari Yakumo, and he's not easy to get along with.
So Yang Xiying had to escape!
"If you could utter words of love in front of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, why do you choose to run away now when facing me?"
Just as Yang Xiying was about to reach into her pocket, Kazami Yuuka spoke up, her expression a half-smile.
"—Or am I more terrifying than the Hakurei Shrine Maiden?"
"..." Yang Xiying lowered her hand. The other party had seen through her thoughts, so it would be easier to provoke the other party if she used a spell card now.
"Did you come all this way to talk to me about that thing in the newspaper?" Yang Xiying decided to use her eloquence to answer that question first!
It's not too late to use spell cards later, and this is the Human Village, so even Yuuka Kazami shouldn't act recklessly here.
"How about we find a restaurant now, sit down, and have a proper chat? Of course, it's on me."
“No, I don’t particularly like noisy places,” Yuuka Kazami shook her head, looking around with a hint of amusement.
The guards protecting the human village became tense as soon as she appeared, which saddened her somewhat.
—After all, she was a very polite and gentle monster.
"And I only came here to hear you finish what you said that was interrupted by the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, Kazami Yuuka, who is as beautiful as a flower yet incredibly powerful."
"I really like that sentence, but I feel it's a bit of a shame that you didn't finish it. Could you please finish it here?"
"..."
Yang Xiying felt her scalp tingle. There were even more people around her now than at the Hakurei Shrine. To her, this was practically a public execution!
"I just thought it was amazing, and that's what I didn't finish saying back then," but now he has no choice but to go for it!
"Oh?" Hearing Yang Xiying say that, Kazami Yuuka raised an eyebrow, and then listened to the other side continue to add explanations.
"When we think of flowers, we usually think of words like beautiful and gorgeous, but they are also incredibly delicate."
"To protect themselves, they will grow thorns or secrete toxins to prevent predators from getting close."
"This is a process of growing from weak to strong. Even if you are weak at the beginning, it is still worthy of recognition if you show strength later."
"In my understanding, Kazami-san is a messenger who manipulates flowers, essentially the embodiment of flowers, yet you are incredibly powerful."
"So I think this is amazing, but this is just my impression from some literature. Please forgive me if it is different from reality."
“…Heh, that answer isn’t so boring,” Yuuka Kazami chuckled, then asked the person opposite her a question.
"—So, will you also grow stronger like a flower?"
"I have no reason not to continue to grow stronger. After all, cowering, retreating, and trembling in front of you now would be a sign of disrespect."
Yang Xiying spoke calmly.
"Ha!" Kazami Yuuka suddenly laughed, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation as she looked at Yang Xiying. "Okay, I'll remember that!"
“So—” Kazami Yuuka said, turning around, and then her voice came out, “Come visit my flower field when you become stronger.”
"I will treat you well."
Great demons are indeed quite capricious...
Only after Kazami Yuuka's figure disappeared did the people around her breathe a sigh of relief, and Yang Xiying couldn't help but sigh as well.
After all, the other person just asked one question and left, which allowed the author to pad the word count a bit, but the favorability rating is still 20...
—It's to the point where we can spar with them.
After talking with Yuuka Kazami, Yang Xiying's courage increased, so after training in the Human Village for more than ten days, he went to the Hakurei Shrine.

NO.29 challenges the shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei to a duel!
"Wow, it seems you weren't just saying you wanted to come here to pay your respects last time."
In the early morning, Reimu Hakurei, who was sweeping the ground with a broom, looked surprised as she watched Yang Xiying walk up the steps in front of the shrine.
"Since I said it, of course I have to do it, and it's not something particularly difficult to do."
Yang Xiying responded directly, but Reimu Hakurei always managed to find something to criticize in Yang Xiying's words, because it was the same sentence that Yang Xiying had said more than a week ago.
"...If that's the case, why did you only come today?"
"...Uh... Addicted to studying?" Yang Xiying didn't know how to answer for a moment, because he had been planning to come to the Hakurei Shrine a few days ago.
But this place is used as a banquet venue by monsters every day, including quite a few who got caught in newspapers because of him.
Going up there like that would be like walking into a trap. Although he had gained a lot of confidence from training with Yuuka Kazami, he wouldn't be that brave.
So he had to postpone his visit to Hakurei Shrine. Today, there weren't many people at Hakurei Shrine, so it was a good time for him to come.
"After all, I can see quick results when I learn something, so I can't help but want to learn more."
That's true, because learning martial arts here is quick and effective, and there aren't many entertainment options, so he can only learn techniques by reading books.
Moreover, he has become much stronger now, having broken through the barrier of the parallel level and reached the strong level, with his specific attributes now looking like this.
【身体:悟性100/根骨196/力道200/精神???/阴阳0/轻功150/内功356。
武学:搏击233/剑法102/刀法60/枪棍50/箭器150/短柄60
技艺:锻造30/制衣25/医术50/毒术50/琴70/棋15/书50/画50/厨艺50/驾驶10/种植5】
"...It is indeed much sturdier than before. Well, if you want to throw money into the shrine to worship the gods, the more money you throw, the more effective it will be."
Reimu Hakurei could indeed sense that Yang Xiying was several levels stronger than when they met in the Human Village, but she wasn't surprised.
After all, she had sensed from the beginning that this person possessed incredible power, and Yukari Yakumo was paying special attention to him.
It would be strange if he didn't get stronger. In short, as long as this guy doesn't cause me any trouble, it doesn't matter what happens.
"Shouldn't it be that the more sincere your heart, the more effective your prayers will be?" Yang Xiying couldn't help but ask, and he knew that the Hakurei Shrine didn't have any gods enshrined there.
"If you don't give me more money, how will anyone know if you're sincere?" Reimu Hakurei pouted, but she was just saying it casually.
After all, Yang Xiying knew about his affairs, and the shrine didn't need any gods to worship, so Reimu Hakurei didn't think this person would seriously worship the gods.
“Okay,” Yang Xiying said, tossing the gold ingot into the money box while Hakurei Reimu looked on in astonishment. Then she closed her eyes and bowed.
"You...you still have those gold ingots?!" Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but ask, this gold ingot was exactly the same style as the one she had seen last time!
"Yes."
Yang Xiying lied without batting an eye, saying that the gift was a token of respect from the pawnshop owner after he won a sparring match with him.
During this time, he used the sparring function in the Human Realm to earn a lot of things from others, such as rare antiques, musical scores, calligraphy, ancient paintings, etc.
He instantly became a super-rich man! But afterwards, he returned everything he had won through sparring.
Since I don't need these things, even if they are sheet music, I can return them after I learn them without any problem.
Moreover, this behavior was identified by the system as gift-giving, which led to an unprecedented level of goodwill towards him among most people in the Human Village.
In this way, even without sparring, he could still receive some care from them, so all he got from people was the gold ingot that rightfully belonged to him.
Perhaps that's why Yakumo Yukari, the mastermind behind Gensokyo, didn't step in to stop him. After all, even he thought the sparring was outrageous!
—Especially those ways of trying to gain favor, that's not a friendly competition, it's hypnosis!
"Besides, does this count as me being sincere?" Yang Xiying asked at this moment, and Reimu Hakurei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Yes, yes, the gods will surely bless you with everything going smoothly!" This person is indeed super rich!
Moreover, this person knew about the matter but did not expose the fact that the shrine had no gods. Instead, he honestly followed the procedures. He was undoubtedly a good person!
[Reimu Hakurei's affection for you has increased by 10 points!]
"Really? Then I should be able to make money more easily from now on. By the way, Miss Hakurei, I have a lucrative opportunity coming up, would you like to join?"
"Let's go to the side hall and chat over tea."
Reimu Hakurei's breathing suddenly became heavy. This person really is a good person! He doesn't forget to take advantage of her when there's a chance to make money!
But why would the other side want to find me?
"No, before we talk about that, I'd like to have a spar with you, Miss Hakurei."
However, Yang Xiying did not get straight to the point. Instead, she looked at the other person with a serious expression and challenged them to a fight.
"Huh? Sparring?" Reimu Hakurei was a little taken aback, as the conversation had just started and then suddenly turned into a fight, which was somewhat abrupt.
"I want to spar with a master to test my skills," mainly because I'm really craving the "Shangqing Fengyun Jue" you possess...
Reimu Hakurei is probably the one who knows the truth about Lord Martial God, so she shouldn't hesitate to give him martial arts manuals like the "Shangqing Fengyun Jue"...
"You'll get hurt," Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but say, feeling a little reluctant to fight someone who was both rich and kind.
"You won't get hurt, after all, we're just sparring," Yang Xiying replied, while looking up at the top of the other person's head and silently repeating "sparring."
"Oh, so because we're sparring in another dimension, we won't get hurt no matter how we fight, right? Then let's begin."
Reimu Hakurei instantly understood everything. Even if the fight went too far, it was fine. She took a lunge stance and got into position towards Yang Xiying.
Yang Xiying made the same move, and then a repulsive force was generated, which directly separated the two of them, placing them in the space set in the Hakurei Shrine.
"Human combat! Ready Go—!!!" At the same time, a mysterious voice came from the sky.
“Mr. Jin... Yang Xiying, you can make the first move.”
When Reimu Hakurei heard the voice, she spoke up as a way of thanking the person who had given her money, and decided to defer to them.
"Then I'm not welcome!"
Yang Xiying directly activated four internal energy techniques. In the past ten days of cultivation, he has successfully comprehended new internal energy techniques such as Chunling Wujin Xuan!
Therefore, the internal energy cultivation method has changed: Mountain Crashing Force + Northern Darkness Divine Skill + Endless Profound Mystery of the Spring Age + Emerald Peak Technique!
This time, he didn't choose to open any gates; he went straight in, striding forward, his legs flashing with electric arcs as he suddenly burst out with speed!
His movements were as fast as lightning, and in a few seconds he was behind Reimu Hakurei, and then he suddenly pushed out a palm towards her!
The electric arcs flashing on her legs were transferred directly to her palms to amplify their power. Reimu Hakurei turned around and struck out with her own palm, and the two collided!
The two forces collided violently, producing a deafening roar. The marble floor instantly dented and cracked, the cracks spreading over a range of more than ten meters!
"You learned this way of driving lightning from Mingluo?!" Looking at the electricity in Yang Xiying's hand, Boli Lingmeng thought of someone.
"Because manipulating lightning is indeed a skill I want to master," Yang Xiying said without hesitation, admitting that he had indeed learned it from Ming Luo!

No. 30 Performance is not the key to victory!
"Mr. Yang Xiying, would you be free to visit my home tomorrow? I have some things I'd like to discuss with you."
Yang Xiying started learning to control thunder a few days ago. That night, when she was borrowing a book under the statue, Mingluo, who was off work, approached her.
She said she was off tomorrow and wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Yang Xiying. At the time, Yang Xiying thought that she had been caught for asking someone to spar without permission.
But seeing the sincerity in the other person's tone, Yang Xiying couldn't refuse, so she went to Mingluo's house, which was a wealthy family in the area.
However, since her elders had passed away early, she lived alone. Yang Xiying, who had thought that the person opposite would smash a cup as a signal to summon hundreds of axemen, breathed a sigh of relief.
The other party didn't have any particular purpose in looking for him; they just wanted to express their respect to the one who lost to them in the last martial arts competition, just like Silver Tiger and Iron Ox.
However, Mingluo gave himself well-crafted hand and leg guards, since Yang Xiying's martial arts skills were mainly based on fists and feet, and these items would provide some enhancement.
Yang Xiying wore it all the time, and later he also got along with Mingluo and became friends who exchanged martial arts insights.
In the end, Yang Xiying exchanged her solid internal strength and swordsmanship skills, which she believed could help her opponent, for the skill of driving lightning.
The ability to command lightning is indeed something Yang Xiying desires, because its potential is somewhat high.
First, it has a fairly direct killing power while also inflicting various debuffs, such as paralysis.
In Pokémon, this means halving the speed and having a chance to prevent the Pokémon from acting; in Metal Max, it has an even more terrifying effect, almost like instant death.
