Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 214 Luo Li: I get it!

Luo Li charged forward confidently, but within five moves, she was sent flying by Scáthach's spear, rolling on the ground, her eyes closed and mouth open like a roadside idiot.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
Luo Li lay on the ground, gazing up at the perpetually dark sky of the Land of Shadows. Her little head, filled with knowledge, couldn't understand how she, using the Saber (Siegfried) class card, had been defeated by her master in just five moves.

I don't believe it. Let's try again!
Luo Li quickly got up from the ground, gripped the Holy Sword Balmonk, and charged at her master again.

This time, Luo Li did her best to withstand three moves from Scáthach.

I refuse to believe it! Luo Li looked at her master who was waiting for her to launch another attack, and decisively took out another class card, Berserker (Hercules), to replace Saber (Siegfried).

Then she charged forward again. This time, Luo Li successfully withstood ten moves from Scáthach. Excited, Luo Li did not notice that her master had already frowned.

In her hero form, Luo Li was incredibly confident, launching charge after charge, only to find herself going crazy faster and faster.

In just five or six minutes, Luo Li's confidence was severely shaken, and she became timid and hesitant to charge forward again.

"Yesterday it was a magical device, today it's a class card. You've always been fighting with the help of external objects, although I don't know what the essence of a magical girl is."

But I'm sure you've never discovered your true potential; it seems you need to start learning from the basics.

From now on, you are not allowed to use any magical artifacts, class cards, or any other external objects. I will prepare ordinary weapons for you, and we will start learning from the very basics.

Luo Li obediently sealed away all the magical artifacts and class cards, and then selected a spear from a set of weapons that Scáthach had crafted from sea monster bones and primordial runes to make them extra sturdy.

“A spear…” Scáthach frowned again after seeing Lori’s choice. “Choose a weapon you like or find comfortable. Don’t agree with the choice just because I or Cú Chulainn use a spear.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Li picked through the pile of weapons again. Then, Scáthach looked at the one-handed sword, two-handed greatsword, straight knife, bow and arrow, spear, giant scythe, and gauntlets that Luo Li had chosen and suddenly became a little angry.

"I'll give you another chance to choose." Scáthach gently stroked the spear in her hand, her tone unchanged, yet it sent a chill down Luo Li's spine for no apparent reason.

Luo Li knew that her master was warning her that she shouldn't try to do too much at once, but when she looked at the weapons laid out on the ground, she realized that these were the weapons she had chosen according to her master's instructions, which were either her favorites or the ones that were most handy to her.

Finally, under Scáthach's increasingly stern gaze, Luo Li chose the longsword, the spear, and the bow and arrow, and Scáthach nodded slightly in satisfaction.

"Now that you've made your choice, let's start with the spear." Scáthach gave Lori three days to hone her basic spear, sword, and archery skills.

Three days later, Scáthach immediately began practical training.

Scáthach's teaching was very strict, especially her practical training, which was basically designed to kill people.

However, judging from the results, Luo Li, who is experiencing it firsthand, has to admit that her strength is indeed developing rapidly under the guidance of her master Scáthach.

At the same time, Luo Li was also thinking about the questions her master had pointed out to her: what was her essence as a magical girl, and how should she discover her own power?

Before this, Luo Li thought she already knew what her power was, and even successfully realized it.

But now that Scáthach has said this, Luo Li has to reconsider whether her original understanding of power was truly correct.

Luo Li, who couldn't figure it out herself, humbly asked Scáthach for advice, and her master's answer was quite intriguing.

"The enhancements on you, in my opinion, are merely a means to unleash your true nature. This power has always been yours, never bestowed upon you by anyone." After Scáthach's explanation, Luo Li's expression was quite interesting. According to her master, her true nature was that of a magical girl.

But Luo Li was certain that she was originally a man, and that her current appearance was a result of the enhanced magical girl concept.

While receiving Scáthach's tutelage, Luo Li pondered the question of her own essence every day.

Magical Girl Essence Enhancement Activated. Sitting in the bathtub, Luo Li fell into deep thought, unaware that the water in the tub was gradually cooling down and becoming icy cold.

Finally, Liuli noticed that someone was taking an unusually long shower today. Unable to contain her worry, she gently knocked on the bathroom door and called out, "Luoli, are you alright? Why did you take so long to shower today?"

Luo Li then woke up with a start. Although she didn't know exactly how long she had been in the bathroom, the fact that the bathwater had completely cooled down meant that the time had definitely not stopped, otherwise Liu Li wouldn't have been worried and looked for her.

"I'm fine, I was just too engrossed in thinking about the problem, I'll be right out."

Having grown accustomed to her body, Luo Li got up and stepped out of the bathtub, standing under the showerhead to rinse off before leaving.

Just then, Luo Li's eyes swept over the full-length mirror that occupied an entire wall in the bathroom, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind.

Luo Li slowly walked to the mirror, looked at her reflection in the mirror, her whole body completely exposed, and slowly raised her right hand to place it on the mirror surface.

Luo Li looked at herself in the mirror, her heart pounding in her left chest. She remembered the scene when she first experienced transformation on her first day as a magical girl.

"If I stay in the transformed state, I should revert to my original form after the transformation ends, but the original me..."

Luo Li recalled what she looked like when she was a man, and she was certain that she did not revert to her male form after she deactivated her 'magical girl transformation'.

"In that case, could it be that I was wrong from the beginning, and that I have never been able to transform into a magical girl, so that I am still in this form after the transformation is over?"

The icy feeling transmitted from the mirror to her palm was slowly dissipating, while Luo Li's heart was burning ever hotter, and a voice appeared in her mind: That's right!

Look at Zhu Wen, then look at yourself. There's no doubt you've never transformed into a magical girl!

Luo Li looked at herself in the mirror and found that her eyes were sparkling with a starlight she had never seen before. The starlight was exactly the same as the starlight she had seen through the endless fog in the depths of her consciousness when she was unconscious last time.

Luo Li sang involuntarily.

"All things are revealed in the light of the origin!"

Miracles descend from the infinite!

Named after the beginning of all things!
Wings of infinite possibilities!
A miracle has begun!
Bloom here!

Origin, Light of Miracles, Transform!
