Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity Chapter 26: Fighting Monsters with the Flesh

By the ti Li Yi arrived at Jiang Keke's ho, the sky had already darkened sowhat.

Jiang Keke's ho was quite spacious, with a small enclosed courtyard. The courtyard was well-decorated, covered with an awning above, and mulberry trees that were easy to maintain were planted on both sides of the entrance. One was nearly dead, and the other was also nearly dead.

As she approached the courtyard gate, Li Yi was still thinking about how to start the conversation later. She had never been particularly good at visiting other people's hos, and this ti she ca alone without bringing any gifts. Combined with Jiang Si's cold attitude, she was sowhat worried about potential awkwardness.

Before she could knock, she heard dull "thump" "thump" sounds from the courtyard, like sothing heavy hitting the ground.

Li Yi's heart imdiately sank, and she instantly grabbed her Miracle Seed.

This sound was clearly abnormal—could the Witch Association have already infiltrated?

Faintly, she could hear Keke's tired and sowhat strained rapid breathing, as if she had just been through a major battle.

She gently pushed the courtyard gate and found it wasn't locked, which further confird her suspicions.

Regardless of it being Saturday today, even if there were make-up classes, school would have ended long ago at this hour. Who wouldn't lock their door so late at night?

How audacious of the Witch Association to dare break into a Magical Girl's ho! Lawless! They simply don't take our Disaster Control Bureau seriously!

Rising anger filled her heart. Li Yi forcefully pushed the door open, holding her Miracle Seed, transforming as she charged in. "Don't be afraid, Keke! I'm here to help!"

In the sowhat narrow courtyard, the bicycle leaning against the wall was imdiately blown over by her entrance, and so fallen leaves flew up along with it.

Pink light illuminated the entire small courtyard. Monts later, the transford Silver Lotus, holding her Magic Wand with a stern expression, froze stiffly. On the other side of the courtyard, Keke, who was holding a hundred-kilogram dumbbell but hadn't managed to lift it, stared at her blankly.

Apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the courtyard...

For a mont, the atmosphere beca sowhat awkward.

"Wh-what's wrong? Did sothing happen? Captain Silver Lotus?"

Quickly canceling her transformation, Li Yi went to the side to pick up the bicycle and forced out a dry laugh. "I heard noises in your courtyard and thought the Witch Association had broken in... The Disaster Control Bureau detected the Witch Association's movents today, so it's not like I'm being overly sensitive."

As she explained, Keke also ca to her senses and imdiately found it sowhat amusing.

Li Yi asked again, "But what were you doing, making such loud noises..."

Keke imdiately stopped smiling and quickly released the dumbbell. "N-nothing, I was just exercising."

Since last night, she had been fixated on this dumbbell.

Keke finally understood what Jiang Si often ntioned about so-called "ntal blockages."

Although she could indeed lift it after transforming, the fact that she couldn't lift it after canceling the transformation bothered Keke deeply.

So after finishing her howork and eating today, having nothing else to do, she started trying again in the courtyard.

She had already beco a Magical Girl—she refused to lose to Jiang Si...

But the more she tried, the more she understood the limits of the human body, and just how terrifying Jiang Si really was.

He was practically not human.

His physical strength approached that of a Magical Girl's transford state—simply unbelievable.

"What's there to exercise with a dumbbell?" Li Yi muttered. To cover her embarrassnt, she pretended to nonchalantly grab the dumbbell. "For Magical Girls, even without transforming, strength will increase sowhat. This weight shouldn't be..."

She pulled with force, but it didn't budge at all.

Instead, Li Yi almost strained herself.

The girl's expression turned serious. She grabbed the dumbbell with both hands and exerted force again.

Still no movent whatsoever.

Li Yi looked up at Keke, and Keke looked back at her innocently. For a mont, it was quiet.

"Wait, is this a dumbbell for human use?"

"Jiang Si uses it for daily exercise..."

Li Yi fell silent, rembering that pitiful Cripple. "Well, that doesn't seem surprising then."

Provoked by competitive spirit, she secretly borrowed a bit of magic power from her seed. This ti, using all her strength with both hands, Li Yi finally managed to lift the dumbbell. "Although, although it's a bit heavy, for a Magical Girl, it's not, impossible..."

Keke naturally could guess she had used magic power but didn't expose her. Instead, she poked Li Yi's forehead. "Weightlifting can easily stunt your growth, Captain."

Li Yi imdiately threw down the dumbbell, which landed on the ground with a heavy, dull "thump."

Clapping her hands, Li Yi stretched her arms and casually changed the subject: "It's so late, why didn't you lock the door?"

"Jiang Si hasn't co back yet."

Li Yi imdiately froze, her expression turning tense: "Oh no, it's so late already. Could he have been captured by the Witch Association?"

"Could that be?"

Keke also sounded uncertain. "He often cos back very late normally."

"What does he do outside so late at night?"

"Exercising, or running errands to earn so pocket money." Keke took out her phone and checked the ti. "It's only eight o'clock now. Generally, he returns before ten. Let's wait until ten to see if he cos back."

"No, today the Witch Association has already started moving, and he even fought with soone controlled by the Witch Association at noon! We can't just sit around waiting until ten."

Li Yi imdiately stood up. "We have to go find him!"

"Jiang Si fought with soone controlled by the Witch Association at noon?" Keke followed the captain out, closing and locking the door as she asked. "What do you an? Did the Witch Association control an ordinary person to fight him?"

"Yes, the Witch Association can use Grief Seeds to enhance ordinary people. It's very dangerous!"

Keke made an "oh" sound and instinctively asked, "Was anyone injured?"

"No." Li Yi's expression turned sowhat subtle. "Your brother almost beat the other person to death."

"Ah?"

Even though she knew Jiang Si's strength was frightening, the fact that he could defeat soone enhanced by the Witch Association still caught Jiang Keke by surprise.

She had always thought that after she beca a Magical Girl, this world was no longer sothing Jiang Si could touch. No matter how much he exercised, no matter how powerful his physique, it couldn't possibly match supernatural beings like Magical Girls and the Witch Association.

She had thought that losing this fight would probably depress Jiang Si for a while, since all that ti spent exercising couldn't compare to soone obtaining a single seed.

But then Li Yi told her that Jiang Si had almost beaten the other party to death.

So exercise really is useful?

"But that was just an ordinary person casually enhanced by the Witch Association. If they seriously target your brother, it would definitely be very dangerous. We need to hurry! Those people from the Witch Association never hesitate to kill!"

Following closely behind Li Yi, hearing those words, she looked at her Miracle Seed, bit her lip, and her thoughts beca chaotic.

Keke hated Jiang Si.

From the ti of their parents' funeral until now, throughout three years of living together, this aversion had never diminished in the slightest.

She couldn't forgive Jiang Si, and Jiang Si never cared about her forgiveness—he didn't even care about her at all.

After so many years as siblings, as family, they had lived like strangers, and she didn't feel anything needed to change.

But.

Jiang Si might die at the hands of the Witch Association.

Her only family would die, and because of her.

If she hadn't beco a Magical Girl, Jiang Si wouldn't have been targeted by the Witch Association, and he wouldn't be in mortal danger.

She used to wish for Jiang Si's death.

But when Jiang Si might actually die, a trace of fear surged in her heart.

At the very least, he couldn't die because of her.

Keke thought to herself.

If that happened, their parents would be sad if they knew.

Holding her seed, while running, red magical energy more intense than ever before began to envelop her entire body.

...

Jiang Si had walked the route from the Azure Cloud Sect to his ho countless tis; he could probably find his way even with his eyes closed.

But today, when he ended up in dead ends twice in a row, he knew sothing was wrong.

He couldn't have taken the wrong turn twice.

Ghost wall.

In his previous life, he had researched many supernatural phenona, since Jiang Si knew that many cultivation stories began with encounters with ghosts and monsters.

Ghost wall was one of the most famous ones. Generally speaking, encountering a ghost wall ant you were in for great fortune—many legendary stories started with ghost walls.

Countless tales began with running into a ghost wall and ended with battling heavenly emperors.

Although he no longer needed to seek out these supernatural phenona to pursue the great path, encountering one now still felt sowhat gratifying.

At the very least, it proved that his previous path wasn't a waste of ti—it was just that the results had failed.

Reaching out to touch the wall, texture-wise it felt no different from an ordinary wall.

Concrete walls were much sturdier than brick walls.

They were indeed the most suitable material for ghost walls. Of course, if Jiang Si were to make one, he would probably choose materials like steel plates.

Holding his breath and concentrating, he suddenly opened his eyes, pulled in his abdon, exhaled, and fiercely threw a punch!

Terrifying power actually punched a hole through the concrete wall!

Without stopping, he continuously hamred the concrete wall, forcibly smashing an opening in the ghost wall large enough for a person to pass through.

Ghost wall, ghost wall—as the na implied, as long as your strength was as powerful as a ghost's, you could break through the wall.

Nothing special.

Pushing aside the rubble and debris, Jiang Si passed through the wall and surveyed his surroundings.

Sure enough, this wasn't a familiar place.

He had probably ended up in the suburbs.

The highway was empty, with so scattered poplar trees planted on both sides. There was a sign by the roadside: Highway 6.

If he rembered correctly, this road should be on the east side of BH City, quite far from the Disaster Control Bureau in the west.

He touched his fist; there was so blood on it.

This was the biggest problem with having no magical energy.

Even though his physical fitness was already terrifyingly high, and his defensive capabilities far surpassed ordinary people's.

Compared to Magical Girls, he was still prone to injuring himself.

This had always been the biggest obstacle in Jiang Si's physical advancent. If he could possess the continuous magical protection of a Magical Girl without relying on seed power.

Then he wouldn't need to transform anymore.

"Hehe, truly a monster."

Looking up, about ten ters above the ground under the moonlight, a woman in black robes let out a hoarse laugh in the night wind. "That was genuine concrete. The Witch Association has conducted so many magical pollution experints, but I've never seen a human like you. No wonder that guy lost, hehehe. I've found a good specin."

Jiang Si twisted his wrist. Punching through concrete had made his wrist sowhat uncomfortable, but it wasn't a big problem.

Bending down, he picked up a fairly large stone, weighed it in his hand to confirm it was heavy enough, then looked up at the woman above him. "Not 'hehehe,' it should be 'Jiejiejie.'"

Even Dujuan was confused by Jiang Si's baffling statent. "'Jiejiejie'? What's that?"

"Truly terrifying villains only laugh with 'Jiejiejie.' That's how you create a sense of oppression."

Jiang Si shook his head with so disappointnt. "Waste, you don't even have this basic common sense, yet you dare to join the underworld."

"Our Witch Association is not so villain organization, nor are we part of the underworld."

She instinctively retorted, then realized why she was following this lunatic's logic?

The magical energy accumulation and preparation were complete, so she imdiately waved her hand.

The ground beneath Jiang Si's feet began to turn into a pitch-black quagmire, attempting to swallow him.

As a precious experintal subject, Dujuan didn't just plan to capture Jiang Si alive—she also needed to ensure he wouldn't be contaminated by her own power.

Otherwise, it would affect the experint. Those who have conducted experints know that even a single variable can be devastating.

That's why she went through all the trouble to create the ghost wall, trapping him inside, then slowly perating the ground with magical energy to complete devouring him.

Seeing this, Jiang Si casually threw the stone he had picked up upward.

Dujuan thought he was trying to knock her down and imdiately prepared herself.

She knew the other party could jump six ters, so she specifically maintained a height of about ten ters. As an experienced veteran mber with extensive combat experience against ordinary humans, Dujuan knew all too well the weaknesses ordinary people faced when dealing with supernatural beings like them.

If they couldn't reach you, they absolutely couldn't threaten you.

Throwing stones was a move only children would use, and it couldn't possibly work against her. But just in case—she had always been cautious—she prepared to knock away the stone.

However, the stone wasn't thrown that high; it lost montum about five or six ters away from her.

So she sneered sinisterly, "Kid, out of energy after just breaking through a concrete wall?"

The next second, just before being devoured by the magical energy, Jiang Si suddenly stomped the ground! The air current even dispersed the surrounding magical energy!

He jumped up.

No, rather than jumping, it was more like flying!

Dujuan had never seen an ordinary person who could jump this high!

However, soon enough, at about seven ters, his montum still slowed down, and he began to fall.

One ter higher than the expected six ters. If Dujuan hadn't been cautious and reserved three ters of height, he might have actually reached her.

"You..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw the descending Jiang Si suddenly step on the very stone he had thrown.

He flew up again!

Even reaching above Dujuan's head!

For the first ti, Dujuan realized what ordinary people must feel when facing her.

This was completely unreasonable...

But there was no ti to think more. Jiang Si was too fast—so fast that Dujuan only had ti to raise her arms in a blocking motion.

A terrifying axe kick was already crashing down on her head!

Under the moonlight, the Witch Association mber plumted like a teor into the shattered concrete ruins below!

At the sa mont, Jiang Si seized the opportunity, grabbing a branch from a nearby poplar tree—even breaking off the arm-thick branch.

After cushioning his fall, he landed forcefully.

The ground still cracked under his imnse impact.

Getting up, he tapped the ground with his toes, allowing his numb feet to gradually regain sensation.

He felt incredibly refreshed.

Just after breaking through, soone ca to test his skills, allowing him to unleash his power freely. It was like learning dragon-slaying techniques and imdiately finding a dragon before you.

This advancent had brought significant improvents in strength, speed, reaction—all aspects.

His body, tempered by dual magic power, had once again surpassed common sense.

Even Jiang Si himself found it sowhat stunning.

Next ti, he could try triple magic power tempering...

Dujuan, her face covered in blood, crawled out of the ruins, grasping at the nearby rubble, her expression ferocious. "Good, good, good! You've done well!"

"Jiejiejie."

He emitted what should have been her laughter, attempting to provide sound effects for her, then clasped his hands: "Beginner's luck."

Then, Jiang Si saw the other party take out a seed.

A rotten, pitch-black seed that emitted a dark glow, with power so dense it enveloped Dujuan's entire body like ink.

She growled in a low voice:

"Fall into the pitch-black purgatory and wail in agony!"

"Transform!"
