That's It?

Why had the blade shadows disappeared?

And why had they been replaced by the cherry blossom tree before them?

Those who held on did not understand, but after enduring it, they saw not only the person dancing with a sword before the cherry blossom tree. Beneath the tree stood another person.

Leaning against that cherry blossom tree, he held a long pipe, the smoke from his mouth drifting upward.

Neither the man nor the woman dancing with her sword could be seen clearly, yet people could sense... the connection between him and the cherry blossom tree he leaned against.

That cherry blossom tree had been planted by the smoking man.

But... where was the blade?

There had still been a trace of doubt in their hearts, but in the next moment, those doubts vanished.

Some people failed to notice the killing intent concealed beneath that beautiful rain of cherry blossom petals and even reached out to catch the falling petals.

Yet the instant the petals landed in their hands, they transformed into sharp blades and took away their will.

Every falling cherry blossom petal was a sharp blade capable of slaying an enemy.

After this round of selection, even fewer people remained.

But those who had endured... were all quite strong.

Moreover, quite a few people keenly sensed something within the illusions brought about by that intent.

For example... Yae Sakura and Cheng Lixue.

And those with naturally sharp instincts, such as Kiana and Xing Yaxiao.

"Cherry blossom tree..."

After sensing this scene, Yae Sakura was perhaps the person who felt it most deeply.

To Yae Sakura, the cherry blossom tree carried an especially different meaning.

And...

That person was her master.

Yae Sakura could feel it very clearly.
