Skill Upgrade, Source of Magic!

"Are you afraid of losing in a one-on-one situation?"

"How is that possible?! I've been in my Shining Form for so long! This guy is no match for me! If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you when she wakes up!"

Chen Xiaoxia waved her fist, indicating that she wasn't Xiao Bai at all.

Seeing the interaction between Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun, Yu Muqiu couldn't help but relax, but out of concern for Xiao Bai, she still asked Kelly:

"Xiao Bai is really alright, right? She... she won't have any health problems like she did in the Sky Screen... right?"

"I don't know how Yuan Bai is doing on the Sky Screen, but the Yuan Bai in front of you right now is in stable condition."

Kelly gave a definite answer and said with a hint of surprise, "To be honest, I also find it incredible. Normally, once the Erosion Form is activated, it should be impossible to revert to it, but... Yuan Bai seems to have a way to control the Erosion Form."

"It was because Yuan Bai on the Sky Screen demonstrated her ability to control the Erosion Form that I agreed to Youyou and her do this. Otherwise... I would never have agreed under any circumstances."

The Sky Screen is a mirror that can Precognition the future.

Although the future Sky Screen on the sky is vastly different from the real world, some information and settings can still be used as a reference.

The Erosion Form of Xiao Bai is one of the pieces of information that can be used as a reference.

Because Sky Screen Xiao Bai had demonstrated the ability to retain its rationality and personality even while entering the Erosion Form, Kelly helped to separate the Mutant Magic and, through the guidance of the Mutant Magic, allow Xiao Bai to master the Erosion Form.

In retrospect, Kelly's choice wasn't entirely correct, but it wasn't wrong either.

Xiao Bai, despite being Magical Girls, can truly control the Demons's Erosion Form.

"That's good... that's good..."

Only after receiving confirmation from Kelly, Xiao Qiu's Magical Creatures mentor, did she finally truly relax.

She looked at Xiao Bai sitting in front of her, her gaze softening considerably.

If Xiao Bai can successfully master the Erosion Form, they will be able to fight side by side again in the future.

This is a good thing.

Of course, Memory-Burning Magic should be avoided if possible... no, it should be absolutely forbidden for Xiao Bai to use it again.

Regarding this, Xiao Qiu needs to think of a way to prevent Xiao Bai from using such tactics.

As Xiao Chun listened to their conversation, the color of her face gradually changed from white to red. In the blink of an eye, her face was so red that it looked as if it could drip blood.

The Erosion Form is actually quite easy to grasp.

So Xiao Bai wasn't lying, and there really was no danger?

So even if they do nothing, Xiao Bai can still fully master the Erosion Form?

... Was it because I wanted to 'increase positive emotions' that I kissed Xiao Bai?

Thinking about this, Xiao Chun felt like she was dying... Well, after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Chun felt like she had really gotten a good deal!

At least she got a kiss! And that confirmed Xiao Bai's feelings!

"... Then why hasn't Sister Xiao Bai woken up yet?"

Song Niandong suddenly asked Kelly.

More than ten hours have passed, and night is about to fall, but Xiao Bai still keeps its eyes closed and hasn't 'woke up'.

Song Niandong could sense that the magic power within Xiao Bai's body was very stable, and her Dream World was also very stable, with no force resisting the fluctuations.

But Xiao Bai didn't wake up, and no one knew why.

Is it really necessary to take this long just to find traces of Xilisi?

"I don't know either." Kelly shook her head. "This is the first time I've encountered Yuan Bai's situation, so I have no reference points. Therefore... I'm not very clear about it either... Eh?"

Kelly didn't finish her sentence.

She stared at the girl sitting in the center of the magic circle, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Not only her, but the other Magical Girls also looked at Xiao Bai in surprise.

Xiao Qiu even instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes wide open.

No wonder Xiao Qiu and the others were so surprised; just look at Xiao Bai's current condition and you'll understand.

When Xiao Bai entered her Erosion Form, her body was covered with black and red patterns. These black and red patterns spread all over her body, making her look almost exactly like Xiao Bai in her Erosion Form in the Sky Screen!

But at this Xiao Bai, the markings on Xiaobai's body are gradually disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, her body is also changing!

An adult's body gradually shrinks, as if aging in reverse. In the blink of an eye, a girl who looks seventeen or eighteen years old becomes a child of about ten years old.

Xiao Bai... is still the same Xiao Bai, but... his age seems to have changed!

"Xiao Bai... has shrunk?!" Xiao Qiu exclaimed in shock.

Chen Xiaoxia's eyes widened. "Wh... what's going on!? What... what happened to this guy's body?!"

Seeing Xiao Bai shrink, Xiao Chun and Dongdong were the most excited. Almost simultaneously, they approached Kelly in Aurora's hands and asked in unison:

"What happened to Sister Xiao Bai (Xiao Bai)?!"

"I... I don't know... Wait, her life force is increasing?! What's going on?!"

Kelly looked completely bewildered.

She had never seen anything like what happened to Xiao Bai before, and there was absolutely no precedent for it!

But after a brief period of panic, Kelly realized that Xiao Bai's shrinking didn't seem to be a bad thing. Her life level was increasing, and her life seemed to be evolving towards a higher level!

Everyone looked at each other, bewildered and confused.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Xiao Bai finally opened its eyes.

"... I couldn't find Xilisi." These were her first words upon opening her eyes, but Xiao Bai quickly added:

"But I found Luna, her scent is in A City... Hmm? What's wrong with you guys? Why are you looking at me like that? Wait... have you all grown taller?"

Xiao Bai seemed completely confused about what was happening.

She tilted her head, looking at everyone in confusion.

Her expression remained aloof, just as it always was, but now, in her childlike form, she didn't give off a cold or distant vibe; instead, she was incredibly adorable!

Xiao Chun, who was originally worried about Xiao Bai, immediately covered her nose, turned her head sharply away, and had an unusual blush on her face.

Song Niandong's body moved even faster than her thoughts, and she rushed forward to hug Xiao Bai tightly.

"What an adorable Xiao Bai girl!!"

"Huh? Hmm? Cute? Wait... what's going on!?"

Completely bewildered, Xiao Bai was shocked to discover, after being hugged by Song Niandong, that she actually seemed to be a head shorter than Song Niandong!

Song Niandong is about the same height as Xiao Chun, or even a little Xiao Chun.

But when the other person held me in their arms, I actually felt like they were taller than me?!

Realizing something in a daze, Xiao Bai immediately looked down at her body.

Because her clothes were Magical Armament that changed with her body size, Xiao Bai didn't notice at first.

But now, looking down at his own hands, comparing them to Song Niandong's palms, and then looking at the other Magical Girls who had inexplicably 'grown taller'...

Xiao Bai's breathing stopped for a moment, and her voice trembled as she asked the crowd:

"What... what happened to me?"

"Um... well... you should take a look for yourself..."

Xiao Qiu couldn't bear to tell Xiao Bai the truth, so she took out her phone, turned on the 'mirror' mode, and handed it to Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai's little hands trembled as she took the phone and looked down at it.

The silver-haired girl in the mirror, who looked no older than twelve, was staring at him with clear, bewildered eyes.

When Xiaobai met the silver-haired loli's gaze in the mirror, Xiao Bai instantly understood everything.

She seems to have aged backwards.

Chapter 262 Skill Upgrade, Source of Magic!

The reason things turned out this way can be traced back to Xiao Bai's search for traces of Luna's magic.

Having determined the general direction of Luna's magic, Xiao Bai originally intended to leave the dream and tell everyone about it.

But then, looking at his skill bar, which had been upgraded to LV3 Erosion Form, Xiao Bai suddenly had a brilliant idea!

As everyone knows, aside from magic, Xiao Bai can sacrifice any other ordinary skill to become nourishment for his magic skill.

The reason why magic skills cannot be sacrificed is that the skill itself is connected to one's life; it can be regarded as one's magic skill or one's life level.

The reason why magic skills cannot be sacrificed is that these skills are linked to one's own life.

Therefore, this skill was fixed from the day it was created, and it cannot be used as a sacrifice to nourish other skills.

However, the skill [Erosion Form] is different!

[Erosion Form] is not tied to Xiao Bai's life, meaning it can be used as a sacrifice to provide Xiao Bai with magical skills!

In short.

This skill can be used as experience material to increase magic power level!

The thought of this skill being able to 'burn' made Xiao Bai very interested.

Although it's unclear why Sky Screen Xiao Bai didn't burn the Erosion Form, well... anyway, I don't really need the Erosion Form in reality right now. And since the Erosion Form also belongs to the mystical side, logically speaking, the magic experience it contains should be ten or even dozens of times that of a normal skill of the same level!

Furthermore, the method to activate the Erosion Form has now been found.

While the method for leveling up is still somewhat unclear, there is a general outline.

If the Erosion Form can truly be sacrificed for magic power, then it means... Xiao Bai will now have a stable and rapid way to increase magic power!!

Isn't this also a kind of 'Magical Girls training method'?!

Without hesitation, Xiao Bai sacrificed the skill to magic.

The skill [Erosion Form LV3] disintegrated and disappeared, and began to be gradually absorbed by [Magic LV3].

Under Xiao Bai's watchful gaze, the magic level experience bar was rising at an extremely rapid pace!

It takes 10,000 magic experience points to go from level three to level four. Previously, Xiao Bai only had a little over 1,000 magic experience points. According to Xiao Bai's own magic conversion method, the total magic value was about 2,000 to close to 3,000.

This surpasses the power Xiao Qiu possessed when she activated her Shining Form at the end of the first season.

It even surpassed Xiao Qiu's normal magical power at the beginning of the second season.

But that's not enough.

After Magical Girls activates her Shining Form, she will enter a period of rapid power-up.

Take Xiao Chun, the second person in the real world to activate her Shining Form, as an example. Before activating it, Xiao Chun's magic power was around 700 or 800.

After activating the Shining Form, the magic power increases to around 1800 or 1900, more than double.

Afterwards, driven by Shining Form, Xiao Chun's magic power rapidly crossed the boundaries between the Lower Rank and Middle Rank, and she possessed nearly two thousand magic power without activating Shining Form.

At this point, after Xiao Chun activated her Shining Form, her magic power was approximately five thousand.

It has already surpassed Xiao Bai.

Similarly, Xiaoxia is the same.

So, in the past, Xiao Bai was able to defeat the two in their normal state, but if the two activated their Shining Form, Xiao Bai could only try to maneuver around them and rely on his combat experience to hold his own against them.

The greater the difference in magic power level, the more difficult it is for combat skills to make up for that numerical gap.

That's why Xiao Bai was so eager to activate the Erosion Form.

Because the gap between Xiao Bai and the Magical Girls will only widen as time goes on.

Once the three Magical Girls in the main story have fully absorbed the boost from their Shining Form, their normal magical power will likely be close to five thousand!

After activating Shining Form, it's approaching the 10,000 mark!

If the third season of the main series introduces Upper Demon, or even higher -Lord-Tier Demon, their power after activating their Shining Form will certainly Upper Rank -ranking demons.

That is, exceeding the threshold of ten thousand.

But Xiao Bai is different. Unable to master the Erosion Form, she can be a force to be reckoned with among Middle Rank- level demons, but she can't defeat Upper Demon.

However, now, Xiao Bai watched helplessly as his magic power level rapidly increased, quickly breaking through the five thousand mark!

Five thousand!
