Chapter 95 Stars in the Sky
Chapter 95 Stars in the Sky
Bai Xi's opponent, the [Bud]-level magical girl who also advanced to the finals, clearly knew how terrifying this seemingly fragile white-haired girl was.
Without any hesitation, she went all out from the start and transformed!
The fists and feet, covered in the luster of gemstones, brought with them sharp whooshing sounds as they slammed into Bai Xi, who stood still, seemingly unaware of what was happening.
Each strike contained enough force to split rocks and shatter stone, and the air was compressed and exploded.
This clearly shows that the competitions in the intermediate and beginner levels are not even in the same league; you can feel the impact even from a great distance.
However, Bai Xi merely shifted her body slightly, a movement so small as to be almost negligible, narrowly avoiding the fatal attack. Her body seemed weightless, swaying lightly amidst the dense barrage of punches and kicks, like a leaf dancing in the eye of a storm, reaching out lightly.
The opponent's expression darkened, as if realizing something, and he stopped engaging in combat, abruptly changing his offensive strategy.
She took several steps back, and with a flash of light in her hand, a magnificent staff that shimmered with pale gold and had a large gemstone inlaid at the top was now in her grasp!
Magic Weapons: As expected, none of the finalists are simple.
She raised her staff high and unleashed some unknown magic, causing the gem at the top of the staff to suddenly burst forth with dazzling light! Countless fine, needle-like, yet incredibly sharp golden beams of light poured down like a torrential rain, instantly covering most of the arena area where Bai Xi was located!
The beam of light struck the ground, blasting open tiny craters and kicking up clouds of dust and debris!
However, when the smoke and dust were dispersed by the blast wave, Lin Yongxi and all the observant girls in the private room involuntarily contracted their pupils.
Bai Xi was still standing there.
She didn't even leave the small area where she had initially stood.
The dense rain of light, which was enough to instantly injure or even kill an ordinary magical girl of the [Species] level, seemed to merely "pass by" her without even tearing the hem of her clothes. Every time it was about to touch her, it would strangely change direction, as if it had hit an invisible wall.
"She didn't even transform?" Lin Yongxi's lips trembled slightly.
"Yes, she doesn't need to transform to be on par with, or even dominate, the other fighters."
The magical girl beside him smiled wryly, saying, "This is the most despairing part."
Even laymen know that magical girls transforming and not transforming are two completely different things, which is the most important reason why the [Bud] level can crush the [Seed] level. Only after transforming can they mobilize the magic of the [Jewel] and utilize the powerful physical abilities of the [Jewel Body].
However, the white-haired girl on the stage was still wearing her ordinary white long-sleeved outfit, showing no signs of transformation.
She can defeat her opponent without transforming? What level of skill is that?
Bai Xi used the most basic magic enhancements, strolling leisurely through this deadly magical storm.
At this moment, her opponent's expression turned extremely ugly, and a hint of fear even flashed in her eyes. She no longer remained on the ground, but soared into the air!
[Bud] level flight capability!
This opponent had pushed herself to the limit. She attempted to use her aerial advantage to launch attacks from different angles and in more cunning ways. She moved nimbly through the air, her staff flashing, and beams of magic, energy orbs, and binding nets of various colors rained down like a shower of flowers, completely sealing off the space around Bai Xi.
She uses a lot of magic, which shows that she is a genius who excels in theory and knows how to find weaknesses. She also has good combat thinking. Overall, she should be a very strong opponent.
But all of this is now in vain.
Bai Xi simply raised her head slightly, her pure black, empty eyes calmly watching her opponent in the air, who was constantly changing positions and frantically unleashing firepower.
She didn't move her feet much, taking half a step to the left and turning slightly to the side.
Those seemingly impenetrable attacks always managed to brush past her at the last moment in some incomprehensible way, stirring up dust behind her.
She was like a ghost without a physical form, a shadow existing in the gap between reality and illusion.
All attacks and all magic seemed to her to be nothing more than... background.
The gap in strength has become so large that it is despair-inducing.
Lin Yongxi stared intently at the arena, her palms sweating. With her current level of knowledge and understanding, she couldn't comprehend how Bai Xi had done it. It wasn't just a matter of speed or reaction time; it was more like... ignoring or denying the attack itself?
"Can I learn this technology...?"
What exactly is the magic of this student, taught by her older sister, this girl known as "Gypsy Star"?
Just as Lin Yongxi was seizing every opportunity to stare intently, Bai Xi seemed to sense this unusually scorching gaze.
Bai Xi also raised her head.
She was able to get distracted in such a fierce battle, like a bewildered cat, searching for the source of her gaze, and finally locking onto the VIP box high up in the distance.
"She saw me?" Lin Yongxi was startled.
Bai Xi smiled at her.
At this moment, the spectators nearby thought the girl was looking at them and burst into enthusiastic cheers, standing up and jumping with their hands raised.
Bai Xi, seemingly in agreement, raised her right hand high, pointing one finger towards the sky, directly above:
"Dwelling in the heavens."
Her voice was clear and calm, yet possessed a strange penetrating power, easily drowning out the lingering magical aftershocks on the stage and the clamor of the audience.
Then, magic responded to her:
"On the seventh day of the seventh month, look up at the stars in the sky, and see people falling from the sky."
The voice was like a nursery rhyme, innocent, ethereal, as if it came from a distant place, with a light tone, carrying the rhythm and joy of a child reciting a lullaby.
The pure white light was not as dazzling as Lin Yongxi's; instead, it was mixed with shimmering silver starlight and flowed around her, instantly washing away the remaining smoke and magical aftershocks on the arena, and also illuminating the bewildered figure of her opponent in the air with exceptional clarity.
Amidst the light, Bai Xi's pajamas began to be magically reconstructed.
The skirt was a pure white knee-length mini-skirt, made of a light and sheer fabric with a metallic sheen. The hem was adorned with intricate, star-like white gold embroidery, scattering shimmering light. A belt cinched at the waist, accentuating the girl's slender figure. The bodice was a form-fitting sleeveless bodice, with a floral ornament slowly rotating at the chest.
Her hands were clad in a pair of white fingerless gloves that fit snugly against her palms, and her feet were adorned with light, stiletto heels, instantly transforming her into a princess-like figure.
The most striking change was in her eyes.
The pupils, which were originally pure black and empty, have now transformed into two completely different colors, as dazzling as jewels.
The left eye is azure.
The right eye is clear and yellow.
Two contrasting lights, one blue and one yellow, flowed quietly in her eyes, weaving together a strange, inhuman beauty that added a touch of majesty to her exquisite face.
Despite still being a slender young woman, even the sunlight seemed to dim her.
"I'm in a hurry, sorry."
She smiled, gave her opponent in the air a slight curtsy, and ended the fight.
