Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 397 - 67 Bai Ji and Bai Mei_2
But that didn’t mean she’d completely let it go.
After following the other party to the Fangting City base, Bai Ji took the initiative to approach Bai Mei, proposing a "private competition." Of course, publicly it was a "competition," but in reality, it was to probe the depths of her opponent; if the opponent was incompetent, she’d take the opportunity to teach them a lesson.
Without a doubt, Bai Ji succeeded.
The other party clearly had no idea about the existence of the technique "Turbidity"; thinking that banning Spell Techniques and Magic Equipment meant that a competition of Magic Power was merely an arm-wrestling match, they suffered a great loss and were defeated by her in one encounter.
But at the same time, Bai Ji also failed.
The sneaky competition was discovered by the mentor, who not only did not praise her but rather severely told her that her actions were wrong, that exploiting information asymmetry and loopholes in rules violated the principle of fair competition and ordered her to apologize to the Fangting City team.
Bai Ji didn’t understand or accept why her mentor would criticize her for this matter, but even though she vehemently disagreed, she chose to comply.
And now, she was watching, wide-eyed, as her own opponent made use of Turbidity.
"It seems like three days?"
Upon hearing the other party say these words, Bai Ji felt as if the strings of reason in her mind had snapped.
What shocked her was that the emotion welling up from the depths of her heart at that moment was not "anger" or "humiliation," but a much uglier sentiment.
Jealousy.
Why did her mentor favor the very person who had lightly mocked her, to the point of lavishing them with all their secret techniques willingly?
Why did people around her tolerate her awful personality and coddle her like a princess, with the enforcer from Fangting City treating her as lovingly as if she were his own daughter, a fact so evident even a blind person could see?
Why did someone so detestable receive such exaggerated talent from the heavens, mastering Turbidity in mere three days, something she herself had to toil day and night to learn?
Bai Ji’s mind was riddled with doubts about her opponent’s words, but none of her thoughts could be articulated in any coherent way, as the emotion of jealousy had completely robbed her of her composure.
She aimlessly activated her Magic Equipment, aimlessly began to pour out her Magic Power. Spell Techniques, Turbidity, Magic Equipment—she used whatever she could, with only one objective in mind—to knock down this detestable creature.
"Fanwen!"

Mouth shouting the name of her Magic Equipment, the pen in her hand swept through the air like a printer, churning out rows of Favo Runes, and the aggressive Spell Techniques were thrown about as if they were free.
Because she was using her Magic Power too hastily, Bai Ji even exhibited symptoms similar to Xia Liang’s earlier ones—dizziness and blurry vision—clenching her teeth so tightly she was nearly on the verge of shattering her molars.
Her onslaught was so fierce that Lin Xiaolu naturally didn’t have it any easier. Having only grasped Turbidity not long before, she couldn’t yet use it effortlessly and could only symbolically let the blue flames neutralize a few attacks before having to dodge around. The attack’s density was so high that, despite her evasive actions, she couldn’t completely avoid them and had to take several solid hits.
But even so, she didn’t become discouraged.
The words Emerald Sparrow said to her before she went on stage were still recited in her heart.
"Let Emerald Sparrow truly see who I am now..."
These words, as if a spell, made Lin Xiaolu’s heart incredibly clear.
It wasn’t about winning or others, what she considered now was simply how to showcase what she had learned recently.
Even if there had been no progress in her ability blossoming, even if her Magic Equipment had not shown the slightest response up to now, she had indeed made a real effort, and the results of that effort were solidly there.
So at least, she had to let Emerald Sparrow see those things.
Her improved flying skills allowed her to dodge some of the opponent’s attacks.
The enhancement of her Magic Power quality allowed her to battle an opponent of the Leaf rank without losing to Magic Power exhaustion.
The flames of Magic Power Turbidity allowed her to ignore, and even counteract, the opponent’s turbid vibrations.
All these improvements were solidly real.
So long as she presented these things as they were, and let Emerald Sparrow see that she was indeed striving and progressing, then that was enough.
...Was it enough?
She suddenly questioned herself in her heart.
Merely demonstrating up to this point seemed to lack something.
For some reason, Lin Xiaolu always felt, she could do more.
Although it was only an intuition, this intuition was so clear at the moment; it was shouting loudly at Lin Xiaolu, telling her that this feeling was just right.
And this feeling, it was so unfamiliar yet familiar.
The last time she felt this way was during the Full Moon Festival night, the time before that was in the crisis at the orphanage, but in those times, it was her immense anger towards the enemy that brought about such a change. Explore more at novelbuddy
This time it was different.
It wasn’t an unconscious use brought on by anger but simply a feeling—that she could do it.
Because time and again, in the Turbidity of Magic Power, she always felt that this wasn’t her limit.
Looking at the Magic Power in front of her now transformed into a blue flame, her heart kept telling herself that she could go further, she could show even more.
