Bab 8: Chapter 8
Ye Ziyun Inner World.
A frozen lake underneath her, at the center of a frozen forest.
Snow slowly falling from the sky, as her Zanpakutō's spirit stands before her.
"So you have finally arrived, Ziyun."
"Are you ready for your test?"
A nod is all the confirmation she needs.
"Well then, let's start with what your test implies."
"You see, all you need to do is fight me with everything you have, and in the end to defeat me."
"Although it will be a hard battle, I knew you are capable of achieving this feat, after all, there is no being in the whole of creation that knows what you can do better than me."
"As such, hmm, let's see..."
Reaching her hand forward she creates a small ice cube.
"Once this ice cub touches the ground, we will start our battle. Ready?"
"Ready."
Everything seems to stand still for a few moments as she throws the ice cube.
Second's pass as it slowly falls toward the frozen legs.
Then, the moment it touches the ice, both women disappear from their place.
"BOOOM!"
A shockwave formes as they meet at the center at the lake.
They stay like that for a moment, before both use flash step to disappear, as shockwave continue passing to out space.
Siluets can be seen all over the place until as small particles of snow dust appear around.
Sudently they transformed into tine needle that shoots directly to the location were the Zanpakutō spirit has landed, almost impaling her.
Fortunately for her, she creates a barrier of ice, although because it was made in haste, quite a few ice needle's injure her.
Feeling her wounds, she does not let out a sound as if she injured, instead one can see a happy smile on her face.
"You're control over ice has improved tremendously. The barrier I just made, even though it was in haste, it should have been able to stop a peek Dark Gold cultivator."
Looking towards her Zanpakutō spirit, Ye Ziyun lets a smile appear on her face as she begins saying.
"I remember when you started training me, what you told me at the beginning, you're words were 'Ice, the extremity of water, extremity of coldness. All things under heaven can become ice; water can be frozen into ice, blood can be frozen into ice, energy can be frozen into ice, the profound can be frozen into ice. Mountains, hills, and the skies all can be frozen into ice...', since then I worked hard on my ice manipulation. To understand how it works, how to boost it's ability, by doing this I was able to lear thing that I'm sure I wouldn't ever be able to learn if it weren't for your lessons..."
Looking at the girl before her, the spirit lets out a sight, indeed you have, but..."
Her figure turns completely into ice as it shatters as she appears behind Ye Ziyun with her sword, impaling her shoulder.
"I also remember teaching you to always pay attention to the battle. To be cold and slippery as ice."
As soon as she finishes speaking she feels a slash on her back, as she hears.
"I do remember, and I also remember you teaching me about the art..."
"Of deception." Her voice heard from a few feet of the spirit, the one that was talking previously turned to another ice clone.
"Black Coffin."
A few moments later, the Black Coffin begins turning to ice.
A look of shock appears on Ye Ziyun's face. The spirit appears completely undamaged, with a beautiful sword in her hand, its form is that of a katana with a white, snowflake-like tsuba, a white hilt, a white blade, and a long white ribbon on the end of the pommel.
A sigh escapes her.
"Truly now, you have grown so much in just a bit over two years. You have actually grown to such a level where I need to use our first release for my safety when I'm in this form."
Ye Ziyun is completely stunned by the information. Firstly, the form of the blade is actually her first release. Secondly, by the fact that it seems that this is not the true form of the spirit.
Moving towards Ziyun, the spirit gives her the Zanpakutō, as she retreats.
"The time has come for you to see my true form."
A pillar of energy encases her, as her surroundings are filled with a blinding light.
Ye Ziyun closes covers her eyes.
As the light dissipates, she reopens them, looking around she can no longer see her Zanpakutō spirit until she hears a voice from above her.
"Here child. Above you."
Looking up, she cannot believe her eyes.
Before her is a mythical creature. An Ice Phonix.
"Well then it is time for you to know of my origin, and my name..."
