Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

Chapter 67: Chapter 62 Sprout Level

```

In truth, Lin Yun knew very little about An Ya's death.

Since he wasn't present at the scene and had not seen the body, all the information he had came from the accounts of younger Magical Girls.

Yet even so, he still couldn't understand how An Ya could possibly have died.

The recognized Flower Card Magical Girl, whose strength was said to be at the pinnacle of Magical Girls, what's more, "the strongest Flower Card" at that?

Merely stationed in Fangting City, for An Ya, it was akin to a leisurely stroll through her own backyard; not to mention danger, to the Remnant Beasts, she was probably the real catastrophe.

However, her death was so abrupt and easy it felt unreal, like a majestic mountain that loomed before everyone one second, was silently reduced to flat ground the next.

An Ya died, her crimson blood blooming from her chest like a cherry blossom tree adorned with red spider lilies. She closed her eyes, a satisfied and happy smile on her face, as if she had seen something wonderful, slipping into a sweet slumber.

But the road to this dream was one-way, and once An Ya set off on it, she could never turn back.

Lin Yun never got to witness such a final moment.

When the other Magical Girls arrived, shocked and grieved by An Ya's death, and tried to carry her body away, An Ya's body turned into fine magic particles and scattered before their eyes.

She didn't leave the slightest trace in this world.

In the end, what could record her existence was just that small grave marker.

This was also the reason Lin Yun couldn't let Lin Xiaolu see An Ya's body: because there was no body, and he couldn't explain why.

At the time, Lin Xiaolu found his behavior inexplicable, even angry. But now, knowing the truth, she began to feel that she had perhaps been wrong.

Several days had passed since Lin Yun and An Ya's wedding anniversary.

Since learning the truth that her mother was a Magical Girl, Lin Xiaolu had been distracted, her mind wandering no matter the task.

Lin Yun continued to handle the final handover of his resignation, ready to fully immerse himself in the affairs of Magical Girls.

The Seeder would fish for three days and then spend two days drying its nets, pursuing its Seeder business inconsistently. Most of the time, it stayed at home watching the two newcomers train, and occasionally, it went out to search for new Magical Girls.

According to it, there seemed to be similar traces found in the Lixing District, which gave it some lead to follow.

As for Xia Liang, as the more talented one among the two new Magical Girls, in these days, she had reached the threshold of the Seed and Shoot level with a speed that would astonish anyone.

And, as expected, on this day she encountered the opportunity to construct her Essence.

The Essence of a Magical Girl is a concept that sounds mystical but is actually quite concrete. In terms of actual composition, it's a special structure that combines a Magical Girl's magic power and soul around a core of Magic Power. Experience tales at M V L

It is the foundation of all subsequent abilities of a Magical Girl, be it magic conjuration, Spell Techniques, or otherwise; one must possess an Essence. It is also the source of the Magical Girl's life, for a Magical Girl can recover from any severe injury as time and magic power heal, as long as the Essence remains undamaged.

```

Similarly, this also meant that once a Magical Girl's true form was destroyed, her life would come to an end.

This is precisely why Magical Girls need to protect their sources of magic power: After all, the source of magic power is the core of the true form, and if the source is damaged, the true form will be severely affected.

And now, Xia Liang was undertaking a task related to this: she aimed to construct a new true form with her own source of magic power as the core.

The time was ten o'clock at night, and the location was Xia Liang's home. When the study session was half over, as if struck by a moment of inspiration, she suddenly told the two of them that she felt ready.

Under the careful instructions of Emerald Sparrow and the bored gaze of Lin Xiaolu, she began her attempt to construct her true form.

Holding her Seed of Heart in her palm, Xia Liang closed her eyes and quietly felt the surge of magic power within her.

Consciousness is the outward expression of the soul. She captured and followed the flow of the magic power, letting her consciousness form a similar wave pattern; then, she reversed the process, guiding the magic power and manipulating the frequency of its fluctuations to match that of her soul.

As the fluctuations of her soul and the magic power gradually overlapped, she continued the two-way communication with her source of magic power as the core, uniting them to form a new power.

Gradually, the Seed of Heart in her hand emitted a glow unlike any other day.

Like a seed in soil sprouting under the nourishment of water, the originally round Seed of Heart began to change its shape, morphing from a perfect sphere into something that resembled a water droplet. A tiny point stood at the top of the gemstone, looking rather cute.

Of course, by this stage, the Seed of Heart was no longer just a Seed of Heart, it deserved a new name—Seed of Heart Sprout.

Jinzhi-colored magic power radiated from the Seed of Heart Sprout in waves, enveloping Xia Liang within, imprinting the fluctuations of magic power onto Xia Liang's shadowy figure, which then vanished in an instant, merging back into Xia Liang herself.

Lin Xiaolu, who was lying not too far away, couldn't help but rub her eyes: she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to see two Xia Liangs, except one of them appeared translucent, like a mirage.

Emerald Sparrow stood with her arms crossed, watching quietly as Xia Liang constructed her true form, nodding from time to time, again marveled at Xia Liang's talent.

A successful construction of the true form on the first attempt, she didn't know how many such records there were in the Magic Kingdom, but it was truly a rare sight in her own experience.

Twenty-two years ago, in Fangting City's Magical Girl Squad, among the first batch of primary members, the record for the fastest construction of the true form was held by Su Shengzi: she achieved it in three tries. The slowest record was An Ya: she attempted a full seventeen times.

Of course, An Ya's high number of attempts wasn't entirely an issue of talent. In fact, her talent as a Magical Girl was very high, but she was the first in the squad to reach the bottleneck of the sprout level.

Back then, the squad in Fangting City was even more awkward than they are today—they didn't have a senior mentor like Emerald Sparrow, just a bunch of clueless youngsters. Only a rabbit Fairy named Wo Bo could provide some knowledge of cultivation, but its teaching level could hardly be called brilliant; it might even be described as misleading.

Remembering that it took her a full ten attempts to construct her true form under that pesky rabbit's guidance, Emerald Sparrow couldn't help but sigh at how times have changed.

As the Jinzhi-colored glow faded, Xia Liang stood up, opening her eyes and holding the flawless Seed of Heart Sprout in her hand, she gave Lin Yun and Lin Xiaolu a playful smile.

Clearly, she had succeeded.

And with the construction of the true form complete, reaching the sprout level, this also meant the next step—she would awaken her own magic-powered construct.
