Abilities and powers
Tao
Mei possesses the water-attribute Tao. Though her body was changed into a small one, she is still able to use her physical strength. Also, she can create a very large amount of Tao in order to create craters. But her Tao is limited now as her tanden was cut down.
Regeneration
Mei can use the regeneration process using the flower Tao. As she possesses the water attribute Tao, her abilities of regeneration can be slowed if she is attacked by the earth attribute.
Kishikai’s transformation of Mei
Being a Tensen, Mei can enter the Kishikai state. Adding on, Mei can also fly using the flower petals, which are similar to the wings. While she is flying, her wings, like flower petals, can blow large amounts of wind while flapping.
The Lord Tensen is inspired by Chinese mythology
As the Lord Tensen is based on the Eight Immortals, it shows that it is inspired by Chinese mythology. As well, the Eight Immortals are part of the Chinese secular culture too. Even more, it is the sign that represents longevity and prosperity. These eight immortals also have various shrines around Taiwan and China.
The plant ovule is the heart of Mei
The Tensens show similarity to human beings. But they are more than human beings, as they can switch between male and female. Also, their bodies are heavily based on plants. So, the Tensens have a heart that is made of plant ovules. Thus, the heart of Mei is also a plant ovule.
These ovules also help in defense, as they have self-defense functions too. It can attack as well as pull the weapon from the opponent. Tensens can live until their plant ovule is destroyed. Likewise, Zhu Jin was able to live as he didn’t have a body but had a good plant ovule or heart.
What is the best way to kill Mei?
Heading on, Tensens can be hurt if they are attacked by Tao users. Tao stands for a very mysterious energy that can flow through things on Earth. These skills are well manipulated and controlled by Lord Tensen and skilled individuals. Also, every Tao has an attribute that represents them among the five attributes.
Even more, Mei has the water-attribute Tao. So, she can be killed if any individual with the Earth-attribute Tao destroys her plant ovule. But it should be within her reach.
The Tensens are worshipped as gods
The Tensen have a good ability for regeneration. As well, they also have a longer lifespan than any other individual. Due to this, they are worshipped as gods. Which also leads Tensens to have superiority among human beings. Thus, they also use human beings as a material to make a tan. Therefore, they treat humans like tools, and they need to serve them.
The Tensens, Mei, are immortal
Tan is also somehow a prototype of the elixir of life. As a result, the Tensens are able to live until they are murdered. All of the Tensens have flower Tao, which allows them to regenerate very fast. In addition, they can regenerate thousands of times.
whereas only their regeneration speed is reduced when they do it multiple times. A better example is when Zhu Jin was fighting with Gabimaru.
