Chapter 350

Therefore, after Yu Muqiu returned, Xiao Bai did not leave the dream.

She began to summon Chihiro in her dream and engage her in a one-on-one battle once again.

Shining Form can be awakened under pressure. Since Stella said that all Magical Girls can awaken Shining Form now, there's no reason why Xiao Bai shouldn't be able to.

What's more, her skills are still displayed in the skill bar, albeit at level 0!

Since the skill exists, it must be able to be used, that's what Xiao Bai thought.

And then... she was tortured by Chihiro all night.

"Huff... huff... this... this isn't scientific..."

In the real world, Xiao Bai, who had been in the dream for at least forty hours, knelt on the ground, panting.

Having died too many times in dreams has started to affect the real world; at least for now, Xiao Bai feels very tired.

She was covered in sweat, large beads of sweat dripping from her forehead and splashing onto the ground in front of her.

Xiao Bai couldn't understand why it was so difficult for him to unlock the Shining Form, while Xiao Chun and Xiaoxia had unlocked it smoothly!

If the key to unlocking Shining Form is the will to protect one's companions, and the heart to care for one's companions and those who are important to one's friends, then Xiao Bai's belief in protecting the Magical Girls is also present!

So what's going on?

Xiao Bai couldn't understand.

She looked up at the bright sky, sat down on the ground without any regard for her image, wiped the sweat from her brow, and couldn't understand why she couldn't activate her Shining Form.

"It seems someone needs help?"

Stella's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Xiao Bai had heard her footsteps long ago, so she wasn't surprised by her arrival. She simply exhaled slowly and casually remarked to Stella:

"I seem to have a hard time activating my Shining Form..."

"Yes, I can see that."

Stella nodded without hesitation.

Xiao Bai paused, then turned to look at Stella.

She thought Stella had come to have a heart-to-heart talk with her, just like she had with Xiao Qiu yesterday.

After all, this is a common trope in Magical Girls anime: when the protagonist feels lost, someone will always be there to comfort her and help her out of her confusion.

Xiao Bai... well, he's one of the main characters in the Sky Screen, right?

Why am I hearing sarcasm instead of comfort, Stella? Is this script off?

Exhausted from a whole night's work, Xiao Bai was too lazy to argue with Stella. She took a slow, deep breath and asked Stella:

"Regarding Shining Form, didn't your older sister say anything more to you?"

Stella slowly shook her head:

"My older sister didn't say. After all, anyone who is qualified to activate Shining Form will eventually be able to do so, unless... that Magical Girls is dead."

"So, my current situation..."

"You're so pessimistic."

Stella put it succinctly.

Xiao Bai's lips twitched.

Feeling too down?

What kind of reason is that?

Stella said softly, "Although I don't know how you became Magical Girls, I can say with certainty that you don't possess what Magical Girls should have."

"... What?"

"'Innocent'."

Stella spoke earnestly to Xiao Bai White.

Xiao Bai was stunned. She looked up and met Stella's gaze.

Stella continued, "More accurately, it's a kind of unwavering belief that you won't turn back until you hit a brick wall, and... foolishness, isn't it?"

"You always like to prepare everything in advance and don't believe that a sudden outburst can solve everything. So you're not like Xiao Qiu and the others, who fully activate their inner emotions in order to protect something."

"To give an example, if you and Xiao Qiu were to face Sister Lesos at the same time right now, Xiao Qiu might trust her companion, trust herself, and activate a new form under the influence of her emotions."

"And you... you'll probably only think about a temporary retreat, or fighting to the death using unorthodox methods, like the way you burned your memories."

Stella pointed to the sky.

Upon hearing Stella's words, Xiao Bai suddenly understood something, and she murmured:

"I see... I understand now, it's because... I have a 'way out'?"

That's right. Compared to other Magical Girls, Xiao Bai has always been very clear that she has a way out.

Because she can burn her own knowledge and transform it into nourishment to enhance her magic!

Under this premise, even if Xiao Bai is forced into a desperate situation, he will subconsciously think of using high-level skills as fodder to feed magic skills.

When Xiao Qiu and the others activated their Shining Form, they had no way out.

Therefore, the inability to awaken the Shining Form is not due to Stella's claims of 'innocence' or 'foolishness,' but rather to Fang Ming's own unique ability to find a way out, even in the most critical moments!

But if that's really the problem, then that's the real trouble!

Because Xiao Bai can't ignore her own cheat code! She's never truly experienced a desperate situation!

Actually, Xiao Bai should have thought of this a long time ago.

Why did Xiao Bai hide the truth from Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia their Shining Form? It was because once they knew the truth, they would lose their belief that they 'must activate their Shining Form '.

That's how Xiao Bai is now. She already knew the answer and knew what she would do if she really encountered danger, so she didn't prioritize Shining Form.

When faced with a danger that is difficult to deal with, Xiao Bai will remember that he still has his Demon Form.

When faced with a danger that even the Demon Form struggles to handle, Xiao Bai thinks that he can still burn knowledge to increase his magic power!

However, if they encounter an enemy that even burning knowledge to increase magic power can't defeat... then Xiao Bai will probably truly have the conviction that he must activate his Shining Form.

Having realized this, Xiao Bai suddenly knew what he should do.

She suddenly stood up and asked Stella:

"Your mental abilities should be able to seal specific memories, right?"

"I can... but didn't you forbid me from using it?"

Stella asked, puzzled.

One of the conditions on which the Magical Girls accepted Stella was that she was forbidden from using her mental abilities, especially against the Magical Girls.

Stella is doing fairly well now, and knowing the fate of Sky Screen, she has no intention of causing trouble.

Even if the Magical Girls didn't say it, she had never used any mental abilities other than the body that Dongdong had helped her create.

She seemed to have become an ordinary girl, even more so than Xilisi.

Now, Xiao Bai wants to break the rules?

"I am the speaker, my word is law, and I'm giving you the power to use me."

As Xiao Bai spoke, she pointed to the nearby surveillance cameras and said to Stella, "Even if you really wanted to do something, Kelly has been watching this place the whole time. If I did something 'stupid,' Kelly could identify the suspect immediately, so..."

"... See? I told you you were rational. This very rationality of yours is precisely the biggest obstacle to unlocking your Shining Form!"

Stella rolled her eyes at this, but still obediently came to Xiao Bai and held out her hand to him, saying:

"Fine, what can I do? I'm a prisoner. Do whatever you want. I need to alter your memories, which requires me to place my hand on your head at close range. I hope you won't blame me for being rude later."

"?" Xiao Bai tilted her head in confusion upon hearing this. "You don't seem to be that troublesome in the Sky Screen..."

"Because the me inside the Sky Screen encountered you when you were in a bad state! You're in even better shape than usual, Xiao Qiu! How could I possibly seal your memories if we hadn't been in close contact!"

Stella continued, "By the way, you'd better not resist, or you'll easily fail. The difference in strength between us is too great; I'm not even sure if I can successfully seal the memories you want to seal."

Stella's statement can be considered a disclaimer.

The difference in strength between her and Xiao Bai is too great. If she insists on sealing her memories, she might end up sealing off a very different memory.

What if, like in the Sky Screen, Xiao Bai is turned into a child...?

That can't be Stella either!!

Xiao Bai made her do it!!

"I know, I'll have a backup plan. Let's do it."

Xiao Bai is also prepared for this.

In order to unlock Shining Form as soon as possible, and then find a way to unlock Shining 2, she has to perform this memory seal!

The memory that Xiao Bai wants to seal away is the memory of 'having a cheat ability'.

He also needs to seal away the memory of having Demon Form.

Xiao Bai wants to try facing a formidable enemy she absolutely cannot defeat without using any special abilities, all without having any trump cards left, and see if she can activate her 'Shining Form' cheat!

This might be her only chance to unleash her Shining Form!

Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Movie and Season 3: Chapter 380 Xiao Bai's Shining Form, Awakening from a Dream

Xiao Bai was standing in front of a Demons wearing armor.

He is the War Demon, one of the three Pillar-Tier Demon under the command of the Death Demon.

At this very moment, it stood opposite Xiao Bai, unabashedly radiating its powerful and evil magic.

The city was reduced to ruins, the earth split open, and most of the Magical Girls had fallen to the War Demon, lying on the ground.

Only Xiao Qiu remained, fighting alongside Xiao Bai.

"Why..."

Xiao Bai looked at the War Demon in front of him, his eyes filled with confusion.

She didn't remember why she was there, nor why she, as Pillar Rank War Demon, had appeared. She even felt as if she had forgotten something very important.

But at this moment, the battlefield no longer allowed Xiao Bai to be distracted and think about other things.

After a long and continuous battle, Xiao Qiu had reached her limit. In her Shining Form, Xiao Qiu was using her elongated magic wand as a crutch to support her body.

She was panting and said to Xiao Bai:

"Xiao Bai... quick... quickly take Xiaoxia and the others and run away! I'll handle things here--"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Although he didn't remember what happened, Xiao Bai knew what he should do.

She stepped forward, brandishing her sickle to block Xiao Qiu's path, and said in a low voice to Xiao Qiu:

"The one who should run away now is you! Compared to me, you're the Magical Girls with the most potential! As long as you exist, there's still hope for Magical Girls! So... leave this to me!!"

"Xiao Bai--!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Xiao Bai was too lazy to listen to what Xiao Qiu had to say. Before Xiao Qiu could finish speaking, Xiao Bai created more chains, which wrapped around Xiao Qiu and the others, pulling them and throwing them further away.

"Xiao Bai --!!!!" Yu Muqiu reached out and screamed at Xiao Bai with all her might.

But Xiao Bai simply turned his back to Xiao Qiu and whispered to her:

"Don't come back until you've fully matured."

Memories began to fill in automatically, and Xiao Bai finally 'remembered' what had happened.

They were undergoing special training, but something went wrong at some point, allowing the War Demon to descend upon this world.

Although the War Demon here is only an avatar, and its strength is only at the Upper Rank.

But for Magical Girls who haven't even Upper Rank, the War Demon is an insurmountable mountain!

Even though Xiao Qiu and the others used Magic Link and activated their Second Shining Form with the Power of Hope, they were still no match for the War Demon.

If this continues, all the Magical Girls will definitely die here, and Xiao Bai will never allow that to happen!
