Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity

Among the seven true-transmissions, most don't actually have a clear ranking of who's stronger.

After all, each person has their own area of expertise. For example, when Qinghua is fully prepared, even Jiang Si has to take her seriously.

As for Four Leaf and Six Leaf, there's no need to even mention them. Once the number of people on the field exceeds two or three, their magic becomes the most troublesome among all the true-transmissions.

If it's a large free-for-all, there's a high probability that the other true-transmissions will fight to the death, while unconsciously overlooking the Twin Leaves.

By the way, because the Twin Leaves' abilities greatly interfere with puppet manipulation, Qinghua actually doesn't have good compatibility with them.

Other true-transmissions, even Bai Mei, would struggle somewhat against a Qinghua going all out. Only the Twin Leaves don't find dealing with Qinghua difficult.

Although the seven true-transmissions haven't been officially ranked, and several true-transmissions like Bai Mei have gone to other cities for various reasons, so the seven true-transmissions rarely have opportunities to gather and spar.

But everyone knows that Senior Sister Bai Mei's strength is probably the strongest among the seven true-transmissions.

This isn't just acknowledged by Bingtang and the Sect Master, but also certified by true-transmissions like Jiegeng who have personally fought Bai Mei.

For Thousand-Pinweed, Senior Sister Bai Mei is her ultimate goal.

Wanting the Sect Master to acknowledge her, to acknowledge Harry Potter, even defeating the other true-transmissions wouldn't be useful.

She must defeat Senior Sister Bai Mei.

Although Thousand-Pinweed has already received the promise to open a branch sect, for Thousand-Pinweed, this is still secondary. If she could hold the title of Chief before opening the branch sect, that would naturally be even better. After all, a shop opened by a true-transmission and one opened by the Chief sound very different just by the titles.

The most important thing is still to gain Sect Master's acknowledgment.

"Is that okay?"

Bai Mei wasn't in a hurry to accept her challenge, just tilting her head to ask Jiang Si, "Should we fight?"

"Fight."

Jiang Si said lightly, "But I have a condition."

Thousand-Pinweed immediately obediently sat down next to the senior sister, quietly listening to Sect Master's requirements.

"First, the time cannot exceed three minutes."

After all, Thousand-Pinweed has many spells. When it becomes a war of attrition, it enters garbage time. Running around isn't interesting either.

"Second, during the battle, you cannot leave Beihai. Whoever leaves Beihai first loses."

"Third, the last requirement. Bai Mei can only use three sword strikes. If she doesn't win after three strikes, she loses."

Upon hearing this, Thousand-Pinweed's expression became slightly unpleasant.

But in the end, she didn't object.

On one hand, since Sect Master said so, objecting now would inevitably seem tactless.

On the other hand, although Thousand-Pinweed felt somewhat looked down upon, the more this happens, the less she should get agitated.

It would only make her appear more incompetent.

Although Thousand-Pinweed likes Harry Potter, she has also read many web novels. At times like this, she must remain calm and not say too much.

Then use her strength to defeat the senior sister, making Sect Master regret his decision and demand a rematch.

That's the correct approach, and also what Sect Master likes.

So regarding this, neither Bai Mei nor Thousand-Pinweed had any objections.

"Qinghua."

When preparing to go out, Jiang Si called out.

Qinghua, who was still in the spirit hall, sleepily poked her head out. Her hair was messy, and she only wore an oversized T-shirt, half-exposing her shoulder. In the few days Bingtang was away, she probably went crazy playing games.

"You come too."

"Ah? Boss, do I also have to challenge Senior Sister Bai Mei?" Qinghua immediately raised her hand, "Qinghua surrenders!"

"You'll fight me later."

Jiang Si raised an eyebrow, "You weren't serious during the Central Bureau competition. I'm going to give you extra training."

Super Qinghua's face immediately turned pale, "Sect Master, if you want to beat me up, just say so directly. Qinghua definitely won't resist..."

"We'll talk after Thousand-Pinweed and Bai Mei finish fighting."

So Qinghua could only put on a tearful face, put on her clothes properly, and followed them out of the Illusory Moon Cavern Dwelling.

This shut-in usually hides in the Illusory Moon Cavern Dwelling and basically never comes out, having her puppets do everything.

But it must be said, Qinghua is truly a genius.

Even Jiang Si finds controlling puppets exhausting, as it requires divided attention and is actually quite taxing.

But Qinghua has now reached the point where she can play games while precisely controlling multiple puppets to do various things.

Her achievements in this aspect even make Jiang Si marvel.

That's precisely why Jiang Si wants to train this girl more.

Too reliant on puppets, her own combat ability is barely passable. For Jiang Si, there's still much room for improvement.

"Sect Master Celestial Being, although fighting can also increase affection, I heard about a game where a perverted serial killer glasses guy stalked a girl and eventually dismembered her into seventeen pieces to win her heart, but Qinghua actually isn't that type of enthusiast. It will only lower Qinghua's affection leading to a dead end. Boss, you need to pay attention..."

Along the way, Qinghua chattered incessantly, wishing she could immediately return home to continue gaming. But since Sect Master didn't speak, she could only mutter to herself, not daring to actually run away.

Somewhat wanting to cry but having no tears, she clearly had tried hard enough during the Central Bureau incident.

She wasn't personally present, only had one puppet available, and couldn't do much.

If she hadn't frozen the mana flow speed of Yumo and Thousand-Pinweed, causing a decrease in control precision, the Twin Leaves actually wouldn't have been able to affect them so easily.

How to put it? She also had one-third credit for the Twin Leaves' championship, right? Surely in Sect Master's eyes, she wasn't just someone who did nothing and relied on luck...

...

When they arrived at the suburbs, Qinghua looked at the two true-transmission Magical Girls who were really getting serious and sighed.

Why must fellow true-transmissions insist on determining a winner? As long as you don't get serious and reveal your true abilities, you'll never be seen through. Pretending to be strong, do you even understand...

"But wait, are you really planning to fight here?"

Qinghua glanced at Beihai. This place was too close to Beihai. Bai Mei's sword strike could probably split Beihai in two.

Then she saw Sect Master take out his purple Miracle Seed.

A massive amount of mana continuously flowed from the seed, endless, converging into a vast ocean that submerged the entire Beihai!

The boundary of this ocean was exceptionally clear, as if enveloping the entire Beihai, turning it into an arena.

Jiang Si then put away the seed.

This was another use of the Miracle Seed after gaining Divine Sense.

Originally, even in non-transformation state, he could borrow part of a Magical Girl's mana. After obtaining Divine Sense, he could use Divine Sense to guide Magical Girl's mana in non-transformation state, achieving even greater control.

And he could use some minor spells in non-transformation state.

After all, without Divine Sense, he actually couldn't precisely control such a large amount of Pure Mana without transforming, let alone expand it to cover the entire Beihai.

This move naturally made the three true-transmissions look over simultaneously, all showing expressions of surprise.

Jiang Si flicked his sleeve, but unfortunately the sleeves of these clothes were too short to properly convey his temperament and immortal aura. He just said in a flat tone, "I've made new gains in the realm of mana control. After this battle, I'll pass it on to you."

All three thanked Sect Master simultaneously.

Thousand-Pinweed looked up first, observing the area Sect Master had circled.

Just as she was about to move, she suddenly felt a flash before her eyes.

Sharp, violent wind howled past her face!

Space distorted with high temperature, the neon lights flashing behind Beihai collapsing within the arc of this wind.

Glass curtain walls over fifty stories high simultaneously cracked, fissures racing along the texture of light. Except for the wind, the silent Beihai in darkness was soundlessly cleaved by a vacuum trench—air pressure on both sides crushed and shattered buildings.

Sword Energy pierced through Beihai but avoided all living beings. Only the overpass, skyscrapers, and even the subway tunnel behind along this line simultaneously began to shift!

Reinforced concrete and glass fragments hung suspended for a moment, then began to fall like rain!

However, before the buildings' mournful, sharp shrieks of collapse, ocean-like purple mana had already enveloped these crumbling skyscrapers and buildings.

All glass fragments soaked in purple mana reversed, pieced back together, until not even a single crack remained.

Every grain of dust in the concrete and steel was the same, not to mention the still-conscious overtime office workers who just saw a blur, thinking it was an illusion from drinking too much Emperor Tea.

As if time had reversed.

"Sect Master is mighty!"

Qinghua beside them immediately shouted, then took out two cheer sticks—apparently prizes from the Magical Girl Idol Project lottery. Qinghua has pretty good luck in this area, "Senior Sister Bai Mei is invincible!"

"Thousand-Pinweed, surrender!"

Regarding her friend's pessimistic cheering, Thousand-Pinweed naturally had no reaction.

When the Sword Energy brushed past her face, strands of hair falling, she remained silent for a long time.

She had almost no reaction to the senior sister's sword strike.

Even though she had been using Divine Sense to track the senior sister's movements from the start.

But this sword was still faster than she anticipated.

Why couldn't even Divine Sense capture it...

One of Thousand-Pinweed's greatest confidences against Senior Sister Bai Mei was Divine Sense.

She tilted her head again to look at Beihai, that lingering Sword Intent.

Making her feel, with this glance, as if Beihai was still split in two.

If that sword had struck her body, she obviously couldn't have withstood it.

She had already lost.

On the other side, Sect Master didn't transform, just used mana to replicate her "Recovery to Original State."

The effect was even better than the original.

Clearly a knockoff, yet stronger than the genuine article...

What's this? Too unreasonable, right?

The gap is simply too large...

Looking at the senior sister whose mouth slowly bled but whose aura didn't diminish in the slightest.

Thousand-Pinweed took a deep breath.

Must pull herself together. When facing difficulties, think of Harry Potter.

His gap with Voldemort was even larger, yet he still won!

Giving up here would mean everything is truly over!

Think carefully. Until the very end, facing Voldemort whose strength far exceeded his, Harry Potter never gave up.

As the second-generation Harry Potter, how can she lose heart here!

Looking at Senior Sister Bai Mei who still hadn't moved, Thousand-Pinweed immediately pulled herself together.

It's fine. The senior sister is just like Voldemort, not taking her seriously at all, not even going all out, even intentionally missing the first strike.

The rest depends on her own wisdom and skill to make up for it, just like Harry Potter!

She immediately got up, creating distance while using her magic.

"Sectumsempra!"

A Sectumsempra slash flew out, but the senior sister didn't even look, just slightly turned her body, and the Sectumsempra flew past her left side.

However, Thousand-Pinweed had already optimized this spell. She suddenly pulled from the side.

The invisible mana thread attached to Sectumsempra made the invisible blade turn sharply.

Yet even though it was an invisible blade, Senior Sister Bai Mei seemed to see it clearly. One moment before the blade turned, she had already lightly extended her index finger, giving the blade's side a gentle tap.

The Sectumsempra fused with Divine Sense shattered just like that in Senior Sister Bai Mei's hand!

"Tch."

Even Thousand-Pinweed, who was mentally prepared, clicked her tongue.

This monster is a bit too outrageous.

How does it feel like her Mind's Eye is more useful than my Divine Sense...

But Thousand-Pinweed's speed wasn't slow. While Senior Sister Bai Mei was shattering her Sectumsempra, she had already reached the edge.

Her charging speed had almost reached the point of being invisible to the naked eye. Already using magic for acceleration, she charged at extreme speed toward the boundary Sect Master had set!

"Disapparation! Mobiliarbus!"

Bai Mei, who was standing on the suburban lawn the next second, instantly swapped positions with Thousand-Pinweed!

More importantly, Bai Mei even carried the massive momentum from Thousand-Pinweed's charge!

This was the result of combining two spells. Although Thousand-Pinweed was just gambling.

But undoubtedly, the effect was much better than she imagined!

Seeing Bai Mei about to fly directly out of the boundary Sect Master had set, once she sent the senior sister out, it would be her victory—although she initially wanted to win fairly.

But having come this far, Thousand-Pinweed could no longer care about that. Regardless of the method, win first!

It was also a rule Sect Master set herself. She didn't violate any rules...

!

But then she saw Bai Mei suddenly stomp the ground, her whole person like a sword sharpened to the extreme!

Instantly piercing through the ground!

Then Senior Sister Bai Mei, who should have flown out of the boundary with great momentum, actually rooted herself in place just like that, leaning against the boundary marked by purple mana, not moving an inch!

For a moment, Qinghua was amazed by Thousand-Pinweed's flashy moves.

And gained further understanding of Senior Sister Bai Mei's strength.

Senior Sister Bai Mei goes without saying—she was always this strong.

All along, although Sect Master disliked Thousand-Pinweed the most, he always told the true-transmissions to pay attention to her magic.

Bingtang privately often said, don't look at Sect Master always criticizing verbally.

But actually, it's precisely because Sect Master's expectations of her are too high.

Once, Sect Master and Bingtang discussed that if Thousand-Pinweed could reform, they would give her the position of a branch sect elder specializing in minor techniques, focusing on developing and teaching various minor techniques, even a level higher than the seven true-transmissions.

This shows Sect Master's expectations for Thousand-Pinweed. But until the end, Thousand-Pinweed was unwilling to give up her Harry Potter.

Qinghua secretly glanced at Sect Master. Indeed, Sect Master's gaze toward Thousand-Pinweed didn't contain that much disgust or disdain.

More was appreciation and regret.

But when he noticed her gaze, he immediately snorted coldly, "Take this as a warning. Don't be like Thousand-Pinweed."

"Understood, meow..."

She felt that if the boss actually spoke nicely, Thousand-Pinweed would probably painfully compromise and accept the branch sect elder position as a cultivator... After all, Qinghua knows Thousand-Pinweed's desire to gain Sect Master's acknowledgment.

But, one side stubbornly refuses to lower their face to admit they appreciate the other, constantly criticizing.

The other side also stubbornly refuses to compromise, wanting Sect Master to acknowledge her as she is now.

Like some father and daughter who simply don't communicate properly...

Both sides are hopeless.

Although in galgames they say affection can reverse at any time, even negative affection can transform into high positive affection with proper operation.

But with Sect Master completely unwilling to pursue, can't expect Thousand-Pinweed's affection to reverse on its own...

And for Sect Master, the operation of using a mouse to select an appropriate dialogue box is still too difficult.

While she was still sighing, Bai Mei, who had steadied herself, also raised her head, looking at Thousand-Pinweed with closed eyes.

"Quite interesting."

Thousand-Pinweed just curled the corner of her mouth, revealing a confident smile:

"Expelliarmus!"

Instantly, the Magical Outfit on Bai Mei, along with her Sword Intent, vanished!

That's right. All the arrangements along the way were just to make Senior Sister Bai Mei reveal more of the "using the body as a sword" realm and state.

When she, and even outsiders, regarded her person as a sword, as a weapon.

Then "Expelliarmus" could take effect!

It's just that ultimately, it's impossible to directly eliminate the person. So it eliminated both the Magical Outfit and Sword Intent simultaneously!

At the very least, in this battle, Bai Mei could no longer use Magical Outfit or Sword Intent.

"Don't let me get too bored, Senior Sister Bai Mei."

Tilting her head to look at Bai Mei who also seemed somewhat surprised, Thousand-Pinweed glanced at Sect Master.

Somewhat proudly.

Then leisurely sat on her broomstick, pressing down on her little witch hat that was almost blown away in the fierce wind.

"Don't get it wrong. Now, you are the challenger!"

"Mental Landscape Expansion!"

Massive Hogwarts, even encompassing the entire Beihai!

Thousand-Pinweed floated above Hogwarts, "Since my domain is an expanding, open domain, it's generally difficult to capture the senior sister. However, Sect Master helped by circling the entire Beihai as our arena, so it seems if you run out, it also counts as losing, Senior Sister."

"In my Hogwarts, all magic will inevitably hit, and the power of all magic will be greatly enhanced."

A huge silvery-white Patronus walked out from Hogwarts, letting Thousand-Pinweed sit on its shoulder.

Actually, Thousand-Pinweed still had many Harry Potter spells she hadn't developed yet.

The Patronus Charm was one of them. She tried many times but couldn't succeed.

But in her domain, Hogwarts, all Harry Potter spells that couldn't be successfully realized would all become usable.

And some spells would be automatically deployed by Hogwarts School itself. The Patronus Charm was one of them.

The Mental Landscape's boost for her could be said to be enormous, and also one of her ultimate trump cards giving her confidence to face Senior Sister Bai Mei.

"You probably don't think it's unfair, do you, Senior Sister?" Thousand-Pinweed put her hands on her hips, commanding the Patronus beneath her, "Attack!"

Sectumsempra, Bombarda, Reducto...

Except for the Unforgivable Curses, almost all other curses activated simultaneously!

Dense, countless spells instantly filled the entire domain, and almost all aimed at Bai Mei who had no Magical Outfit protection!

Nowhere to dodge!

Yet Bai Mei didn't dodge either, just holding the Miracle Seed.

Opened one eye.

Then, that Miracle Seed in her hand seemed to have transformed into a sword!

No need for Sword Intent, no need for Magical Outfit. Mana compressed in an instant!

At the moment when the spells before her were almost about to tear her apart, Bai Mei brought her right index and middle fingers together.

Gently drawing a line in the air.

"Second sword."

All the magical clamor instantly quieted, all freezing around Bai Mei. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Thousand-Pinweed's pupils slightly contracted. She saw the infinite, densely packed Sword Energy around Bai Mei!

Endless, fine Sword Energy made all spells unable to advance an inch before Bai Mei.

And when Bai Mei's finger gently slid down.

The entire space slightly shifted.

Thousand-Pinweed heard the castle's mournful cry.

It was like a sigh, from the highest astronomical tower tip of Hogwarts. Bricks and stones silently dissolved and separated. Cracks ran straight downward—the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, the rotating staircase of the Headmaster's office, the Gryffindor Tower common room—those ancient walls that had existed for a thousand years in Thousand-Pinweed's memory were being torn like a thin sheet of paper!

The long tables in the Great Hall inside broke in two, candles from the ceiling scattered like fireworks, cauldrons from the Potions classroom rolled down along the sword mark.

Bottomless cracks extended all the way from the astronomical tower top to the Black Lake shore. The edges of the cracks shimmered with fragmented light—the magic protection layer forcibly torn apart struggling to heal. However, after the faint sound of falling stones came the roar of collapse, then the churning of lake water, the sound of thousands of birds simultaneously taking flight from the Forbidden Forest, merging with the sound of heaven and earth collapsing!

"This is."

The next second the world was destroyed, the sword cultivator's voice came.

"Swordless."

Boom!

The expanding domain finally completely collapsed!

Thousand-Pinweed fell from the sky, her witch hat falling to the ground, rolling to land at Jiang Si's feet. Qinghua glanced at it, seeing Sect Master not moving, she also didn't dare to help pick it up.

When the domain disappeared, several people returned to Beihai. Bai Mei still stood there, like an insurmountable mountain, unmoving.

And Thousand-Pinweed, lying on the ground in untransformed state, struggled, unable to get up.

Victory and defeat were decided.

Qinghua looked at her friend biting her lip, face filled with unwillingness, hands desperately clutching the ground, scratched her head, somewhat helpless.

Losing to the senior sister isn't shameful, and actually the fight was quite beautiful...

Just as she was about to go comfort her, Bai Mei over there suddenly coughed.

Blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing more and more blood flow from Senior Sister Bai Mei's mouth, coughing more and more violently.

And the blood actually gradually turned from red to black!

"Cough... Senior Sister Bai Mei, the currently known intelligence is," Thousand-Pinweed's voice also sounded, coughing, "Realm, Sprout ninety-three thousand revolutions."

"This is the recorded realm level from last time. What level it is now is unknown, cough... Can be considered outdated intelligence by today's standards."

Qinghua, who originally thought nothing was seriously wrong, finally noticed something abnormal.

Including Jiang Si who also frowned.

"But there's one piece of intelligence that never expires." Thousand-Pinweed over there, face covered in dust, dirty, finally struggled to get up, taking a deep breath, "That is——"

"Chief Bai Mei loves drinking tomato sauce the most!"

Seeing Bai Mei coughing, she actually half-knelt down. After closing her eyes, she even couldn't stop tears flowing. At this moment, she could almost not stand up.

"You ate it, Senior Sister."

Step by step walking toward the half-kneeling Bai Mei, Thousand-Pinweed's pupils flickered, seeming somewhat excited.

"How does it feel?"

Bai Mei with difficulty fished out prepared tomato sauce packets from her sleeves and pockets, hissing as she inhaled cold air.

Looking down, all the tomato sauce packaging had turned black.

Ten-times spicy ghost pepper noodle sauce...

Tears continuously slid from the corners of her eyes. Bai Mei's face flushed red, her hand holding the sauce packet trembling constantly, unable to even speak anymore.

'Ten-times spiciness ghost pepper noodle sauce, terrifying, right.' Thousand-Pinweed's tone was faint, "To find the truly devilish spiciness, I tasted a hundred types of spicy, was so spicy I couldn't sleep for a hundred and one nights. Yes, truly terrifying."

"All to achieve Thousand-Pinweed's current goal."

Stopping two or three steps away, looking down at the half-kneeling Bai Mei trembling violently, her whole body only having half-dead panting sounds, unable to even lift her head.

Thousand-Pinweed summoned her Magic Wand, pointing at Bai Mei:

"Next, it's my turn to be Chief..."

Slap—!

The sound of a sauce packet hitting the ground made Thousand-Pinweed's alarm bells ring loudly!

"Third..."

The sudden voice interrupted Thousand-Pinweed's victory declaration. The person before her kept taking deep breaths, actually forcefully squeezing out a sentence!

Thousand-Pinweed immediately rapidly retreated while simultaneously, mana surged on her Magic Wand, about to deliver the final blow.

But she felt an invisible fluctuation erupt from Bai Mei. The sauce packet that bounced after hitting the ground, the one still in her hand, and the ones still falling through the air.

All ghost pepper noodle sauce packets, all self-detonated!

The exploded black sauce didn't fall to the ground but gathered into a sword held in Bai Mei's hand. The final sword strike slashed out!

"Third... sword!"

The ghost pepper sauce shot toward Thousand-Pinweed like Sword Energy. Before she could react.

All the ghost pepper noodle sauce poured into the girl's mouth!

The originally victorious smiling face suddenly turned crimson, eyes instantly moistening, sweat pouring like rain.

But both were stubbornly standing, not making a sound, not admitting defeat.

Under the moonlight, the two girls' bodies slightly swayed.

Qinghua and Jiang Si both held their breath.

Thousand-Pinweed first inhaled sharply, then fell backward.

But halfway through falling, she forcefully supported her body!

Finally, Bai Mei stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Water..."
