Chapter 253: The Great Evolution True Monarch, Three Thousand Blue-and-White Porcelain Can Devour Wu!
For the implementation of the Full Bloom Plan, and for the sincere efforts of the Mirror Kingdom's bloodline descendants scattered across every old world, upholding the nobility and benevolence of the Mirror Kingdom's lineage, the adorable and charming Prince-sama gave the old worlds a total of four Full Bloom quota slots.
For these four slots, in places Jiang Si could not see, the old worlds fought until their heads bled.
Although the Prince said that when the plan succeeded, this glory would not be theirs alone, and every member of the old worlds would have the right to enjoy the new world.
But, everyone wasn't some naive kid who had never seen the world.
Whoever had the bigger fist would have the right to enjoy greater glory. Even if they captured the new world, the old worlds, as allies, would be future competitors.
The idea of being a lazy dog who just wins by lying down was fine for casual jokes.
But when it came to the critical moment, who wouldn't want to scramble desperately for a Full Bloom slot to lord it over others?
It could be said that before the new world and others were aware, the old worlds had already gone through a bloody battle, and even destroyed two or three old worlds themselves.
Their internal conflict casualties almost matched Shion's.
And the winners, naturally, were the four strongest old worlds led by the Great Forest Realm.The hardships they endured along the way were naturally many, and no matter how much they sacrificed, in terms of actual status and future rewards, they were far from comparable to this Prince's fiancé.
The legend of the Witch Association, the Earth-shaker within the Beihai's Female-Male Heaven and Earth, the 1.6-meter-tall President of the New Witch Association, the Humanoid Disaster Beast, the Inheriting Captain of the Team, the Super Power King, the Nine-Inch King of East China, the Three-Feet Demon Under Purple, the Immovable Venerable Within the Sleeve—
Simo Tu.
Everyone naturally knew this name. To be able to fight Shion head-on and retreat unscathed sounded terrifying no matter how you heard it.
But, how much effort did Shion actually exert? How did Simo Tu escape? Everyone was completely in the dark.
Regarding Simo Tu's true strength, if you asked how much the people of the old worlds really knew, that was also uncertain.
They only knew he was strong, but how strong exactly? No one had a clear idea. To let someone who did nothing but got engaged to the Prince obtain higher power and status than themselves...
Everyone felt somewhat unconvinced deep down, but no one was willing to court trouble.
After all, Simo Tu's reputation was big enough to be intimidating. What if his strength was truly transcendent? Offending a master capable of fighting Shion would be a complete loss.
The leader of the Heavenly Forest Realm, who managed to stand out among the numerous old worlds, was naturally no fool.
So what he said was to let Simo Tu come and see if the Great Forest Realm's strongest combatant could block Shion.
It could be said he gave ample face. Not to mention Shui Shengquan, the host, even if the Prince herself were present, she probably couldn't say anything.
After all, when you gaze at Shion, Shion is also gazing at you.
The focus of this meeting was how to resist the terrifying Shion's Gaze and protect the poor Dregs. If Shion discovered the old worlds' alliance, she would probably wipe them all out in one go.
So finding a combatant comparable to Shion was crucial.
Moreover, the Great Forest Realm's statement sounded more like they intended to confront Shion themselves, to avoid making Simo Tu face Shion head-on, somewhat implying a desire to protect the Prince's fiancé.
Such intentions were naturally hard to refuse.
Everyone secretly praised in their hearts: truly an old fox from the Great Forest Realm, so slick. With this speech, not only could they test Simo Tu's strength, but they also wouldn't incur resentment.
So all eyes turned to Simo Tu. The entire meeting room fell silent.
"Me, me, me, me! I'll do it!"
Suddenly, someone pushed open the conference room door. Everyone immediately stood up nervously, grabbing their weapons.
However, the girl who opened the door just stood on tiptoe, desperately raising her hand so Simo Tu could see her:
"Boss, I'm here, meow! Super White Fox, ready for duty! Whoever challenges the boss, I will end her life!"
...
Qinghua was, of course, forcibly dragged over by the Sect Master.
She had mentioned taking her on a trial run before. With the entire sect now only having her left, Qinghua couldn't run even if she wanted to, so she could only obediently follow the boss over.
After arriving, she sat outside with White Fox, waiting for the boss's orders.
It must be said, the boss was really good at finding girls.
She originally thought the girls of the Azure Cloud Sect already encompassed all things, that you could find girls of every attribute.
Like the shy but actually incredibly bold Yumo, the rich lady Bingtang, the innocent and adorable child Shuangye, the tsundere little witch Thousand-Pinweed, and herself, the super-otaku beautiful girl that was basically impossible to find...
Having played countless galgames, Qinghua felt her own boss could play a real-life version. Although it seemed he couldn't even find the 'Start Game' button.
Among us galgame players, he's also considered completely useless, second only to the type who finds resources but can't extract the files.
In terms of romance, the Sect Master is trash!
But it's okay! The real-life version of a galgame doesn't require you to actively press start; the plot can still progress smoothly!
Qinghua always positioned herself as the hidden romanceable character.
Because it's cool.
Just like a hidden boss. People like Lady Bingtang, little Yumo, they're just the surface-level romanceable characters. Their status is much lower than hers!
But when she saw White Fox, Qinghua was stunned and deeply felt threatened!
Her status as the hidden romanceable character might be in jeopardy!
This kuudere was just too orthodox!
She chattered beside her, asking questions for a long time, but this girl couldn't squeeze out a single word, basically only replying with an "Mhm."
Even more kuudere than the Inner Sect's Yueji, who could only type on her phone!
As everyone knows, rarity determines value. Her super-otaku beautiful girl, while rare, actually still had quite a few examples.
After all, she could meet many similar friends while gaming.
Super-otaku beautiful girls online who liked the Magical Girl Idol Project were as common as Pikachu on the roadside!
But true kuudere were genuinely rare. Not just in reality, they were almost extinct even in galgames.
However, after Qinghua tried to communicate with her for a bit, she understood why they were extinct.
No dialogue boxes, no inner monologues. Every time, only bland, indifferent responses.
Or even no response at all. No expression, nothing to say, no emotion.
Just one-sided communication from her side, completely unable to see any progress on the affection meter.
She started to lose patience after a while.
Who on earth is pushing for kuudere characters?!
Those people online who always say they like kuudere are absolutely just paying lip service, right?!
Because before meeting White Fox, Qinghua thought she was quite into kuudere too...
This personality type going extinct.
Serves it right!
Later, Qinghua almost fell asleep sitting beside her. Luckily, she had been eavesdropping on the conversation inside the meeting room.
The moment she heard someone wanted to challenge the boss, Qinghua immediately perked up.
Just as she was about to charge in, White Fox grabbed her.
"Sir didn't tell us to go in..."
"Stupid!"
Qinghua knocked on her forehead. "As a true... subordinate, how can you wait for the boss to speak? When it's time to step up, you take the initiative, use your subjective initiative, help the boss show off! Do you even understand web novels? What have you been reading all this time?!"
"But..." White Fox looked blankly at this other student of Sir's.
She originally thought Sir only had her as a student. She didn't expect Sir to suddenly bring another, and the relationship between the two was clearly much closer.
Making her feel utterly superfluous.
So she was also somewhat confused. "Really?"
"Watch and learn!"
Thus, when Qinghua charged in and let out that roar,
White Fox kept staring at Sir.
Although Simo Tu wore a mask, his eyes, movements, even the aura he emitted could be seen.
He was in a good mood.
Just as Qinghua said, this was indeed the time to use subjective initiative, to step out and accept the challenge for Sir...
She wanted to take notes on her phone.
But remembering what Sir once said about not taking notes, she stopped.
Looking at Sir over there, who stood up and seemed quite proud, patting Qinghua's head.
White Fox bit her lip.
She still wrote the content into her notes.
...
The battle naturally wouldn't take place in the meeting room. They specially moved to a spacious, independent space.
Qinghua looked at the Dregs Magical Girl in the distance.
Seemed to be called Qianying.
Like a tomboy, she walked to face Qinghua, revealing a confident and powerful smile.
Then issued her victory declaration.
"I don't want to be rude, but could you surrender on your own?"
"My enemy is only Simo Tu."
"I don't want to waste time."
Super Qinghua—oh, no, at this time she should be called Super White Fox—was already grinning from ear to ear.
"It's fine, it's fine, I have plenty of time, not afraid of wasting it..."
Before she could finish, Qianying fired a magic cannon at her, utterly lacking martial virtue!
Qinghua tumbled twice in the air before stopping, then exclaimed with some admiration, "What a beautiful shot."
Power, speed, precision, all impeccable.
Having seen too many of the Disaster Control Bureau's crude magic cannons, Qinghua naturally found Qianying's shot a refreshing sight.
Qingying's originally somewhat frivolous expression also turned serious.
As the strongest Magical Girl of the Great Forest Realm, this title wasn't bought with money; she fought for it, one opponent at a time.
With just one exchange, she knew her opponent wasn't simple.
"Someone like you, staying in the old worlds is a bit of a pity. Want to come work for my boss?"
Feeling a bit of a desire to cherish talent, Qinghua couldn't help but ask, "You can become stronger, you know."
"How do you know your boss is stronger than me?"
Qianying assessed her opponent's strength.
Seedling Peak mana.
No problem, there was a huge gap in realm.
One of the most important reasons Qianying could pull ahead of the other Magical Girls in the Great Forest Realm was her willingness to learn and imitate.
She had collected all combat intelligence on the Azure Cloud Sect's Magical Girls. Content shared between the Azure Cloud Sect and the Disaster Control Bureau, including mana usage and control precision, she had imitated.
After all, she served as a Magical Girl in a certain city's Disaster Control Bureau for a long time, so collecting some things wasn't difficult.
Step by step reaching Peak Blooming strength relied on her unremitting effort and learning...
She wanted to become stronger, even stronger!
Defeat the Magical Girl before her, and then defeat Simo Tu!
Seeing the disparity in strength between the two, White Fox spoke up, "Sir, this isn't fair."
"There's no fairness or unfairness in battle," Jiang Si said indifferently. "Fighting across levels is a necessary subject in web novels. Watch carefully."
"Yes, Sir."
As for the others, most of them weren't really paying attention to the battle in the arena.
They were watching Simo Tu.
After all, the outcome was basically decided. They just wanted to know if Simo Tu was finally willing to really show his hand...
Or if he would find excuses to avoid taking action until the very end.
"Ah, Qianying made the first move."
Everyone looked at the projection—they were still in the meeting room; Qianying and Qinghua had gone to another independent space to fight.
They saw Qianying, who moved first, stomp her foot on the ground. Seven magic cannons shot out from the ground like long snakes, suddenly pouncing toward Qinghua!
However, Qinghua's speed was also fast. Riding her magic wand in the air, she performed various high-difficulty spins at extreme speed.
The seven magic cannons intertwined in the air, colliding and exploding against each other.
When the remaining three cannons barely chased after Qinghua, they saw Qinghua make an extremely bizarre ninety-degree turn. The three cannons tracking Qinghua directly blasted into Qianying's face!
Everyone in the meeting room gasped in amazement.
With such a large gap in strength, Qinghua was toying with Qianying relying solely on her own speed and positioning. It was truly somewhat beyond imagination...
White Fox watched Qinghua dancing freely in the air like a sprite, then tilted her head to look at her teacher.
"Sir, can I be like that one day?"
"No."
Just as White Fox was about to lower her head in a daze, she heard Sir's indifferent voice again:
"You can become stronger."
White Fox clenched the phone in her hand, didn't say anything, just her gaze grew a bit calmer as she nodded lightly.
"What are you doing, Qianying! Finish her off quickly!"
Over here, the Great Forest Realm's leader could no longer restrain himself. He slammed the table and stood up, roaring with a ferocious expression, "Don't waste time and mana!"
After all, her opponent was Simo Tu, not some Seedling-stage Magical Girl!
Taking a deep breath, Qianying was also made somewhat disheveled by her own magic cannon blast, but she quickly recovered.
Looking at Qinghua, who had no desire to attack and was just flying around in the sky giggling, she took out her magic wand.
"I'm getting serious now. Sorry."
"Go! Go! Go!"
Qinghua was still there cheering for her.
Qianying sneered, her gaze just glancing at Simo Tu in the other space.
Originally, she wanted to hold back a little.
But if she kept holding back, her condition would probably worsen.
A tiny spark of electricity flashed from her magic wand. So she raised her wand and loudly called out:
"Masterpiece, Eighth: The Thousand Arrows of Azure Thunder!"
Like the shrieks of a thousand birds, the explosive sound filled the entire space! So much so that people in the other space couldn't help but cover their ears!
The magic cannons transformed into racing lightning, quickly spreading throughout the entire space, weaving an exquisite, inescapable net!
White Fox couldn't help but twitch her eyelids.
Such a powerful magic... if it were her, she definitely couldn't dodge it...
This Magical Girl called Qianying was much stronger than her, even approaching Teacher Jade Fox.
Then she looked at the girl flying in the sky.
With only Seedling Peak strength, under such a heaven-encompassing net, there was no way...
Her thoughts were interrupted by the scene. White Fox's pupils slightly contracted.
She saw Qinghua precisely passing through every gap in the lightning net, still shuttling unharmed through the sky!
Everyone in the meeting room collectively took a sharp breath, making White Fox feel almost suffocated.
The net laid by Qianying's Thousand Azure Thunder Arrows indeed had gaps, but they were extremely few. And because the lightning changed, the gaps disappeared almost too fast for the naked eye.
Yet that Seedling Magical Girl could precisely pass through gaps that appeared for only zero-point-zero-something milliseconds each time. If it were once or twice, you could call it luck.
But maintaining such high-precision maneuvering for a full ten-plus minutes couldn't be explained away with just luck!
"Is this girl... playing around?"
Someone asked quietly.
The Great Forest Realm's leader felt his face couldn't hold up. He glanced at Jiang Si, then looked at Qianying, who was starting to sweat.
Who would have thought, Blooming versus Seedling could also be this difficult...
However, the next moment, Qinghua's right arm, which was still flying freely, suddenly flew off.
Immediately after, her body tilted, nearly crashing into the thousands of thunder arrows!
Qianying raised her magic wand, tilted her head, and smiled slightly. "Being able to calculate the gaps in the Thousand Azure Thunder Arrows is truly impressive. But, is it possible that I also know where the gaps are?"
"Once your flight path is locked, aiming isn't that hard anymore!"
Another charged magic cannon shot, this time accurately hitting Qinghua's back as she failed to stabilize her posture!
However, they saw that figure gradually dissipate into a gust of wind.
Qianying's expression changed, and she heard a voice from behind:
"Good thing Yumo isn't here, or she'd definitely report me again..."
She whipped her head around to look at the Magical Girl who had somehow appeared behind her.
Qianying still wanted to react, but the other's magic wand had mana gathering, pressed against her forehead!
Her pupils contracted as the glow of the magic cannon gradually expanded in her vision!
Along with that teasing voice:
"Bye-bye now. If I drag it out any longer, the boss will scold me, meow."
Boom!
Huge dust clouds billowed up. White Fox tilted her head to look.
Sir's expression was impassive. Over there, the Great Forest Realm leader's face was ashen as he snorted coldly.
When the dust in the image cleared, they saw the Seedling Magical Girl lying on the ground, her head still carrying the aura of Polluted Magic.
Qianying was panting heavily, her gaze somewhat complex.
Just now, she really almost lost.
If it weren't for the trap the Great Forest Realm had planted here earlier—originally intended for Simo Tu—
which momentarily disrupted the other's magic, her head would probably have been blown through right now, forcing her transformation to end.
And her opponent was only a Seedling!
Taking a deep breath, Qianying stopped overthinking. A win was a win!
She looked toward Simo Tu in the other space again.
But the meeting room had already erupted:
"What happened?"
"What's going on? Where did that Polluted Magic come from?"
"You Great Forest Realm people pulled another dirty trick?!"
Amidst the barrage of questions, the Great Forest Realm leader just snorted coldly. "She was careless herself. What does that have to do with us? Who knew there would be corrupted magic power there?"
"Despicable and shameless!"
Shui Shengquan couldn't help but curse.
White Fox even stood up directly. The Blue Silver Grass in her hand spread, about to transform into arrows from her sleeve to shoot at that Great Forest Realm person courting death, to seek justice for her senior sister.
But the Sir beside her just said indifferently, "Sit down."
So White Fox sat back down.
The Great Forest Realm leader said with a forced smile, "Your turn now, right? Mr. Simo Tu?"
As the host, Shui Shengquan finally couldn't hold back. "Using such shameless methods, Simo Tu has the right to refuse your challenge."
"What evidence do you have?"
"Everyone saw it!"
"Saw what exactly?"
"You..."
Just as the meeting room erupted into argument, and Shui Shengquan was determined to seek justice for Simo Tu to answer to the Prince,
they suddenly heard applause.
The applause started from one person, then grew more and more.
Until the originally whispering voices in the meeting room were gradually suppressed by the clapping!
Everyone looked up to see that the Magical Girl whose head had been blown off was still lying motionless on the ground. She hadn't even ended her transformation, as if truly dead.
And in the sky, another identical Magical Girl slowly walked out.
It was her who was clapping.
"Amazing! Truly amazing!"
Showing absolutely no anger about being sneak-attacked earlier, Qinghua still wore a giggling smile, even praising her opponent. "You actually managed to take down my young puppet. Although a bit rough, it has about eighty to ninety percent of my strength from my youth."
Then she spread her hands.
Behind her, densely packed puppets gradually walked out from the wind, almost covering the sky!
"No choice, now I only have about nine hundred plus puppets left."
Countless Qinghuas giggled in unison.
"Got enough mana reserves? Here I come!"
