As the moon climbed into the sky, chaos erupted in the tranquil Hulin City.
Police sirens blared incessantly as they drove through the city.
An Shiyu watched as the magical girl skillfully summoned relevant government personnel.
With credentials and authority from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, she saw some of the previously high-ranking officials bowing and scraping before Xingxuan, even with fawning smiles.
Miracles bring not only ability, but also status and power...
As everyone at the orphanage left, Sparrow was somewhat Yiyi part, but after hugging her for a while, she was eventually taken to the ambulance by the adults.
Don't worry!
Xingxuan patted her back again, "It'll be alright. The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau will be taking over here soon. These wicked Witch Association won't be able to hurt you anymore, and everyone will be safe."
"Is that so?"
An Shiyu said softly, "Thank you for your help, senior."
"There's no need," Xingxuan said frankly. "I didn't do anything. You overcame despair, became a magical girl, and saved everyone. You should thank yourself. I'm late; I haven't had a chance to do anything yet."
"Actually, it wasn't me, it was Jiang, Jiang Motu..."
She thought about it and realized that calling him Jiang Si directly might not be appropriate; it seemed like he was hiding his identity.
Although I don't know what he's doing, he must have his reasons, and I can't ruin his plans.
Xingxuan was also taken aback, and frowned. "Hmm? Could it be that he's not in cahoots with the Witch Association?"
An Shiyu said softly, "Absolutely impossible, Senior Xingxuan, he saved us."
"All right."
Xingxuan scratched his head, "Even so, he can't steal my Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring! I went through so much trouble to kill him!"
What is Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring?
Just as she was about to explain, a roar from a Calamity Beast came from afar, causing Xingxuan to change drastically!
"Oh no! A Spirit Beast Spirit Beast has appeared! Let's deal with it first, we can talk on the way!"
As they took flight, Xingxuan suddenly realized, "You're just Bud, you can't fly, can you? I'll take you..."
However, before she could finish speaking, An Shiyu had already spread her wings.
Beautiful white wings, like an angel's, and bubble-like special effects.
Holding the magic wand, An Shiyu asked blankly, "Huh? Shouldn't magical girls be able to fly?"
"Uh, generally speaking, they don't have wings, how did you manage to...?"
An Shiyu scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "I used to fantasize that after becoming a magical girl, I would fly with a pair of wings, and I never thought it would actually happen..."
"All right."
Xingxuan was actually a little surprised.
The magical girl's belief in power is something the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau is well aware of.
But you've only just become a magical girl and you're already so confident you can fly...
The power of belief itself is a miracle, and miracles are not so easy to achieve.
With such a judgment, Xingxuan could Infinity help but marvel.
An extremely rare Beast Martial Soul, with white wings—could it be the legendary god-level Martial Soul — the Angel Martial Soul?
This guy might actually become Titled Doumo!
As a senior master of martial spirits who frequently travels to major cities to awaken Martial Soul for girls, he immediately recognized An Shiyu's potential.
As the two traveled, Xingxuan drew a card, inserted it into the Seven Treasure Liuli Pagoda, and activated her first Soul Skill.
[ Star Pattern Descent: Ripples Spread Across the Galaxy]
The scattered meteors quickly pierced through several C-level Calamity Beast in the vicinity.
An Shiyu looked down at the screaming and running crowd below, and a mix of emotions welled up inside her.
I was once just one of them.
In the night wind, increasingly noisy sounds rang out throughout Hulin City: angry curses, honking horns, and the sound of walls collapsing in some places.
But more often, there were the low growls of the Calamity Beast.
Police, firefighters, and the military quickly entered the city, began dispersing the crowds, protected the citizens, and confronted a large number of Calamity Beast that had suddenly appeared in the city.
However, these Calamity Beast did not clash with humans; they roamed around, as if searching for something.
Xingxuan was initially a little worried, but seeing that the group of Calamity Beast didn't cause any trouble, she felt relieved.
"Do you see those Spirit Beast below?"
An Shiyu remained silent, unsure whether she should nod.
Once the memory was restored, much of the knowledge was also recovered.
The monster that overturned their bus, and the blue magical girl who defeated it.
I learned a lot while I was in the sanatorium, and as a fan of magical girls, I naturally asked a lot of questions about them.
However, after leaving that place, all this knowledge naturally disappeared, including all the memories of the monster and the magical girl.
She only recovered quite a bit after becoming a magical girl.
The recovered memories should be exceptionally clear.
It feels like it just happened; I must remember correctly.
However, Xingxuan spoke with such certainty that An Shiyu momentarily felt that her memory might be playing tricks on her.
Wasn't that supposed to be called the Calamity Beast?
After saying that, Xingxuan casually waved her hand, and her magic pierced through a weak Calamity Beast next to her.
Then a blank card appeared in her hand, and the Grief Seed of the Calamity Beast was absorbed into the card.
The Filthy Magic Power was compressed within the card, eventually condensing into a kind of magic.
Xingxuan drew a circle around the card with her right index finger, and a light white halo surrounded it.
"This is called Soul Skill. It's a skill that can be collected using blank cards after Spirit Beast dies," Xingxuan said as she flew. "And this one above is called Soul Ring. Soul Skill are stored in Soul Ring, and we activate and use them using our Soul Power..."
"But, senior."
Having gradually gotten used to flying with wings, An Shiyu asked cautiously, "This Soul Ring, you made it yourself just now, didn't you?"
The air grew somewhat cold and stiff.
Xingxuan coughed and put the card away. "... This is a necessary tutorial. Soul Skill are also divided into levels. The lowest level is the white Soul Ring dropped by weak Spirit Beast, which is only level 10. Above that, there are yellow Soul Ring dropped by hundred-year-old Spirit Beast, and purple Soul Ring dropped by thousand-year-old Spirit Beast. The higher the level of the Soul Ring, the stronger the Soul Skill..."
"But..."
You've misread it!
An Shiyu could only nod and say "Oh".
"In short, as long as a Soul Master keeps clearing out Spirit Beast, seizing Soul Ring, practicing Soul Skill, and accumulating Soul Power, they can keep leveling up!" Xingxuan loudly glossed over the matter. "Your level is still low, so why don't you kill a C-rank Calamity Beast and start collecting Soul Skill yourself!"
"Ah, it really is Calamity Beast..."
"No, slip of the tongue! Because you kept saying 'Calamity Beast, Calamity Beast,' I made a mistake. I meant ' Spirit Beast '!"
An Shiyu smiled helplessly, but still nodded, "Okay, I'm sorry, I caused you to misspoke, senior."
Although I don't know why Senior Xingxuan insisted on calling the Calamity Beast " Spirit Beast," it's not really a big deal.
However, she looked at her wand, somewhat puzzled, "But senior, I don't have any cards, and there's no place to insert them. What should I do?"
"Oh, this, this, I remember now, you must be a god-level, or possess a special mutated Martial Soul, so you don't need to absorb external Soul Ring. Except for the South China region, many places that produce magical girls are like this... probably because only top-tier Martial Soul can awaken into magical girls. This type, yes, this type usually doesn't need to hunt Spirit Beast to obtain Soul Ring; they only need to accumulate Soul Power, continuously break through, comprehend top-tier Soul Skill with their own inheritance, or condense their primordial power into Soul Ring to achieve godhood."
An Shiyu saw that Senior Xingxuan was covered in cold sweat, and she visibly breathed a sigh of relief after she finished speaking.
She didn't just make this up, did she...?
An Shiyu thought this to herself, but she didn't want to expose Xingxuan and embarrass her.
"So how do we magical girls become stronger?"
"Train your abilities, constantly refine your magic, and continuously defeat calamity Spirit Beast to accumulate experience; that's how you level up." Xingxuan inserted another card, defeated several Calamity Beast around her, and said, "Anyway, as long as you fight Spirit Beast, you'll become stronger. When in doubt, fight Spirit Beast; just remember that!"
"Understood, senior."
An Shiyu took a deep breath.
Fight, fight...
With a flap of its wings, it lowered its altitude and encountered a Calamity Beast.
The Calamity Beast had a ferocious appearance. It stared at her and then suddenly charged forward.
An Shiyu subconsciously pressed down on the forehead of the Calamity Beast.
The terrifying power of the Calamity Beast, along with its scattered, Filthy Magic Power, made it almost impossible for An Shiyu to catch it.
But she didn't call out to Xingxuan, because Xingxuan was still searching for something, defeating the other Calamity Beast.
Now that you've become a magical girl, you must shoulder your responsibilities!
The image of that fox mask naturally came to mind.
Instead of pressing, grab. Let the Calamity Beast bite your shoulder, grab Calamity Beast head tightly, and then pull hard!
Woohoo!
The Calamity Beast's dark magic splashed onto its wings, but quickly melted away.
An Shiyu paused for a moment, then looked at the skull she had torn open in her hand and trembled.
Then a smile appeared on his face, and he looked up at Xingxuan with a joyful expression, brandishing the two halves of the Calamity Beast's head in his hand, sending Filthy Magic Power swirling down. "Senior, Senior! I did it!"
Xingxuan stumbled and almost fell!
"You, how could you fight like this? Where is your magic...?"
"I couldn't figure it out," An Shiyu said honestly. "I just did it because I felt it should be done this way."
Actually, it was because Jiang Si was the first person I thought of.
In terms of combat, Jiang Si left a deep impression on her, yet she didn't feel afraid.
On the contrary, subconsciously, they felt that if they were facing an enemy, they should do that.
Only in this way can we defeat the enemy!
As a magical girl, she firmly believed in this, and naturally, she succeeded.
Xingxuan stopped and looked around.
Jiang Motu vanished without a trace, but the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast continued their activities, searching for something. Therefore, Xingxuan decided to follow Calamity Beast...
He glanced back at An Shiyu, who was still tearing apart the Calamity Beast everywhere.
"Wait, wait..."
After calling out, An Shiyu, who had just torn apart two Calamity Beast, held the two halves of the Calamity Beast's head in her hands and looked at her innocently, "What's wrong, senior?"
No, how did you adapt so quickly...?
Fighting Calamity Beast is not as simple as it seems; most magical girls will inevitably feel some fear when they first start fighting Calamity Beast.
Even if there's no psychological pressure from long-range magical bombardment, it's a completely different story when you're actually fighting Calamity Beast in close combat.
Xingxuan was under immense psychological pressure during her first close-quarters battle with Calamity Beast.
After all, it's a hideous monster; you could easily get hurt. Who wouldn't be afraid?
As it turns out, this new magical girl in front of me has absolutely no psychological burden whatsoever...
It wasn't an easy task to tear open the heads of all the Calamity Beast.
Xingxuan also saw her fighting closely with the D-level Calamity Beast. Even when her neck or head was bitten, An Shiyu didn't care at all.
They stubbornly grabbed the skulls of the Calamity Beast, determined to tear their heads apart.
What kind of first demon hunter...?
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask about your second Martial Soul."
After wiping her face, a somewhat tired An Shiyu touched her neck.
When I was bitten, I thought I was going to die.
However, after tearing open the Calamity Beast's head, it was not seriously injured.
Wow, magical girls are really amazing.
Hearing Senior Xingxuan's question, he became somewhat curious, "What is a second Martial Soul?"
The white flying kitten that had been perched on Xingxuan's head like an ornament finally moved. "It's not some second Martial Soul! It's a magical girl's best partner! The Incubators!"
Before she could finish speaking, Xingxuan pulled her down and tossed her around like a toy. "Anyway, it's this thing. It's the second Martial Soul issued to all magical girls, Beast Martial Soul. Although it can't be equipped with Soul Ring, it has our combat techniques and records in its brain. In the later stages, the second Martial Soul can be equipped with Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring... probably."
They're making this up again.
Although she didn't understand everything, An Shiyu still searched herself and finally shook her head, "I didn't find anything."
The Incubators aggressively yanked her hand away, shouting, "Let go! What are you trying to do? Can't you show some respect? You're a madman!"
"In short, my second Martial Soul is a bit disobedient," Xingxuan sighed. "Actually, it's fine without it."
"Hey! What do you mean! Without me, the Incubators, you would have been killed by the Calamity Beast long ago!"
"Anyway, after we deal with the Spirit Beast here, I'll take you to the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau to register..."
While they were still talking, all the Calamity Beast in the city suddenly stopped.
Even Xingxuan immediately sensed the danger; all the Calamity Beast seemed to be drawn by some kind of force.
The city was teeming with monstrous Calamity Beast.
Beast God Authority!
She had never seen such a situation before. The relationship between the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast not one of friendly coexistence, since their powers were shared and they would become stronger by devouring each other.
Therefore, it is generally rare to find naturally occurring multi-headed Calamity Beast in cities.
Because these Calamity Beast will devour each other until they grow into the strongest Calamity Beast.
I've never seen anyone so united and working together like this before!
Do the Witch Association possess the Beast God Authority, which is controlled by evil spirit masters?
The next moment, all the Calamity Beast began to run rampant through Hulin City!
Xingxuan immediately raised her wand, intending to protect the citizens, but found that all the Calamity Beast had avoided the crowd.
From the rooftops, from the streets, from the sewers, flying, crawling, and running, a vast horde of Calamity Beast continued to rush towards the center of the city!
"Senior, what's going on?"
How would I know!
Xingxuan really wanted to say that, but since the other party had already addressed her as a senior, wouldn't it be embarrassing to say it so awkwardly?
"It's probably a big move by the Witch Association."
Xingxuan wore an expression as if she had expected this.
Anyway, when it comes to things related to the Calamity Beast, it's 100% certain that it's the Witch Association Witch Association's fault; it's all their fault.
In reality, she had no idea what had happened.
Hulin City has never had any problems in all these years, and the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau has never issued an alert.
Why did so many Calamity Beast suddenly appear today? Luckily, I arrived in time, otherwise Hulin City would have been in real trouble...
As Xingxuan flew towards the area where the numerous Calamity Beast had gathered, she contacted the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
Given the current situation, the opponent is probably not weak; at the very least, they are Soul King or higher!
That despicable evil spirit master!
An Shiyu, who was flying beside her, suddenly said, "It looks like there's someone on the tower."
Xingxuan then noticed that there were indeed two figures on the distant tower. Under the Moonlight, atop the Central Radio and Television Tower, stood a young man, his black trench coat fluttering in the wind.
The television station lights cast long shadows.
Below the tower stood a stunningly beautiful woman with disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes.
The Calamity Beast that are now rushing from all over Hulin City are coming for her.
The woman was surrounded by a pile of Calamity Beast corpses, and she had many injuries. The Filthy Magic Power power transformed from the Calamity Beast corpses was visibly spreading around her.
Xingxuan rushed over immediately and quickly deduced the cause of the matter at a glance:
"A demonic soul master capable of controlling such a large number of Spirit Beast is a rare breed even within the Witch Association! Jiang Motu, you still dare to say you're not Witch Association!"
"An ordinary person can actually stop Spirit Beast? Could that woman be the target of the Witch Association? Or perhaps another innate genius with full Soul Power who hasn't yet awakened her Martial Soul?!"
A nauseating aura of Filthy Magic Power assaulted her senses. Only when she got closer did Xingxuan notice that the woman being attacked by the Calamity Beast was already being ravaged by Filthy Magic Power. Filthy Magic Power was constantly falling on her wounds, and she was clearly on the verge of collapse.
"Evil energy has entered his body!" Xingxuan was shocked. "That despicable Jiang Motu! He wants to transform his innate full Soul Power into an evil soul master!"
Instantly, four Soul Ring flew out from the Seven Treasure Liuli Pagoda, one of which, a yellow Soul Ring, shone brightly. "The Seven Treasures Pagoda has produced another Liuli!"
[ Star Pattern Descent: A Star Vortex Weaving the Corona]
Countless white orbs of concentrated magic rained down like a meteor shower, bombarding the Calamity Beast surrounding the woman.
A small portion of the light fragments landed around the woman, forming a barrier to withstand the impact of the magical explosion and protect her.
Second Soul Skill: Butterfly Goddess's Light!
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"
The Honghe raised its head and looked at the falling magical girl.
She never imagined that one day she would find magical girls so cute and so dazzling.
After twenty years of savings were destroyed in an instant, and watching the Calamity Beast that she had previously been reluctant to use and carefully nurtured being kneaded, crushed, used, and wasted at will by that mysterious person who suddenly appeared, Honghe's heart was bleeding!
They even lost all control over the Calamity Beast and had to personally slaughter these out-of-control Calamity Beast!
Most importantly, she still can't tell anyone!
No one can stand up for her! How can she tell anyone that her Calamity Beast was stolen?
Ah, my Calamity Beast, which I've raised for twenty years, has been stolen! Help me get it back!
Who's going to listen?!
It's fair to say that the Honghe was extremely aggrieved!
So when the dazzling magical girl appeared, Honghe felt a lump in her throat and burst into tears.
He knelt miserably on the ground, reaching out his hand to the magical girl.
"You absolutely, you must help me get justice, magical girl! Save my child!"
Seeing the Honghe's mournful cries and its near-fainting breath, Xingxuan's expression turned serious as she looked up at the boy standing atop the tower.
He had his hands in the pockets of his trench coat, with dozens of Calamity Beast standing proudly on either side of him, their fierce aura palpable even from afar.
Behind him, countless Calamity Beast roared and coiled, and even a giant snake coiled around the television tower, its head lying obediently and affectionately at his feet!
Add to that that suffocating, terrifying Filthy Magic Power! What else could it be but the main villain of the Witch Association!
Xingxuan wanted to warn An Shiyu, but when she turned around, she found that the girl was gone.
With the situation tense, she couldn't bother looking for An Shiyu and could only confront the terrifying fox-masked boy.
Seeing the remaining Calamity Beast, still remnants of the second Soul Skill attack, roaring as it approached again, Xingxuan remained fearless and drew another card in a flash!
Don't even think about hurting anyone in front of me!
The third Soul Ring on the wand lit up, "Seven Treasures Spin Out with Liuli Three! Third Soul Skill, Seven Treasure Glorious Light Wave!"
[ Star Pattern Descent: The Pure Land]
An even more dazzling light burst forth, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime!
Light! So much light!
The Honghe stared blankly at the radiant figure before her, watching the Calamity Beast gradually melt away under the light. Tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes, and even her body warmed under the power of the light.
Is this the radiance of a magical girl?
This light is so warm...
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
A violent scream suddenly rang out across the sky, startling Xingxuan so much that she almost flew off the pagoda she was holding, and she quickly turned around.
Then they saw the Honghe bobbing around on the ground like a drowning maggot. As the Filthy Magic Power on its wounds dissipated, even more intense black smoke began to rise from all over its body.
Xingxuan suddenly realized something was wrong; she thought she might have accidentally hurt someone.
He quickly narrowed the focus of his Soul Skill to Jiang Motu, and then immediately said:
Don't be afraid, I'll treat you right away!
Fourth Soul Skill!
The Honghe cried out even more pitifully.
Jiang Si was immediately filled with respect.
I never expected someone to be even more ruthless than me. I was just trying to stall for time, but she actually wanted to torture her opponent bit by bit!
Who is this guy? From the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau?!
The Holy Church Member cannot lose to them!
Xingxuan hurriedly stopped the treatment, but it was too late.
The Honghe in front of me was barely breathing, its red and black body sizzling like a live shrimp on a barbecue grill, yet it resembled a newly opened incense burner, releasing a burst of hot, scalding, and charred ethereal energy.
Staring blankly at the victim emitting white steam, Xingxuan immediately understood what had happened and glared fiercely at the boy at the top of the tower:
"The inherently evil Witch Association evil spirit masters have long since corrupted this prodigy with innate full Soul Power!"
It was only because of its innate full Soul Power that it was resistant to the Filthy Magic Power, and it did not fall into depravity for a long time, finally waiting for its own time.
Thinking of this, Xingxuan felt guilty. "I'm sorry, I wanted to save you, but I didn't expect you to have already been harmed by the Witch Association."
"I will avenge you!"
He then glared fiercely at the boy, pulled out a card, and said, "You'd better explain what you're doing!"
The boy remained silent, but simply pulled his right hand out of his pocket and pointed at her and the woman behind her.
"Go forth, Holy Church Member!"
The roar of ten thousand beasts!
Xingxuan inserted the card and looked up at the tall, aloof boy.
The beast tide surged from behind the unmoving youth!
Shrouding the Heavens!
One more chapter, let's try to climb the charts and see if we can make it.
