Kouran tells him about the Legend of the Rising Dragon, whoever is the first to see the dragon rising from the river, nothing can ever separate them as they are guided into eternal happiness. During this period of recovery, he is spoken to by the great sage Taiitsukun and guided to Mt. Taikyoku to begin training as a warrior of Suzaku, although to begin with he has no idea that he's doing any such thing or that Nyan Nyan and Taiitsukun are the beings they truly are.

Meanwhile, Nakago, a Seiryuu Celestial Warrior, are hatching a plot to flood Seisen village, the place where Kouran and her sweetheart Shuusei live. Her sweetheart Shuusei (who strongly resembles Hiko) is conscripted to fight for Kutou, but when he discovers the plan to flood the village, he defects and runs home with the intention of warning them. A few misunderstandings follow, but in the end, Chichiri finds his strength as a warrior of Suzaku and uses the force of his determination to save Kouran and Shuusei from dying in the same way his fiancee and best friend had died years earlier. It is at this point he sees Mt. Taikyoku in its true form for the first time, as he realizes he finally has become "Chichiri" and no longer just "Houjun Ri."

"Shouryuu" Etymology[]

 Shoryuu is the village where Chichiri lived with his fiancé, Konan, and his best friend, Hiko before a devastating flood that destroyed the village, killed Koran and Hiko, and both mentally and physically scarred Chichiri. This village gets its name from Konan's largest waterway, the Shouryuu River, which stretches across the Eastern provinces.
