Proving one's status starting with magical girls

Yuan An finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the barrier in the magical girl's hand block the falling ceiling fragments.

Only he witnessed how dangerous that scene was.

It wasn't that he didn't want to protect Li Jiangqun, but rather that he simply couldn't directly intervene!

The so-called Yuanfu Great Power and Xuanjun Immortal Venerable might have had some truth in the past, but now it's all just him putting on a show to fool his disciple.

His cultivation level has plummeted to rock bottom. What good is the status of a True Monarch if he has already achieved such a position?

Without any cultivation level, and not attracting the attention of those at the highest level, they can only manipulate a few mystical techniques. Once they step out of the mirror, they probably can't even defeat those who have mastered Qi Refining!

Fortunately, he made the right bet!

I bet the woman nearby, who collapsed to the ground after the appearance of the evil beast, was completely overwhelmed by some unknown supernatural power, is indeed a magical girl.

Because the unusual void had previously drawn all his attention, he subconsciously overlooked the girl who possessed a certain destiny. Only when he suddenly heard the little deer demon beside her calling out did he suddenly make his move.

With the few remaining rays of lunar light in the mirror, the supernatural influence imposed on the unknown girl was forcibly broken!

He may not be able to use any substantial offensive or magical techniques right now, but if he were to use his True Lord status to manipulate the arts of fate, apart from those at the Dao Embryo level, Yuan An has never been afraid of anyone!

Fortunately, everything was still under control. Although his Yin Light did not completely destroy the girl's supernatural powers, it weakened the effect to some extent, allowing her to regain consciousness for a brief moment.

The latter was indeed a magical girl, and she transformed immediately to save her apprentice.

"That was incredibly close!"

After watching the magical girl, imbued with purple qi magic, escort her foolish apprentice and the little girl she had rescued to safety, and then engage in a fierce battle with the wicked beast.

Yuan An had to admit that he did have some prejudice against magical girls before.

I initially thought he was just a chosen one, a flashy but ultimately empty-headed genius, but now he seems more like a righteous person with profound magical powers and a heart full of love.

The magical power released by the magic wand in the magical girl's hand in mid-air made Yuan An secretly startled.

'While this power is not yet on par with divine abilities, it far surpasses ordinary Foundation Establishment spells.'

"If a simple magical attack can have this level of power, then if it were combined with Taoist techniques and mystical arts, its power would likely be even greater."

"What's even more remarkable is that it doesn't require spending a lot of time cultivating one's inner energy; once one becomes a magical girl, this power, comparable to the power of a mystic, is naturally acquired..."

Even the laws of Emperor Mingyang's immortal kingdom still require those of high rank to be respected, and even those of the highest rank of Xuan are not without limit. Moreover, the number of magical girls in this world far exceeds that of those of the highest rank. How could this not make him have other ideas?

If only I could use this magical girl's power...

Yuan An seemed to be deep in thought, then turned around and gave the girl, who looked like she had just escaped a disaster, a good scolding.

"Foolish disciple! How dare you be so reckless? Do you even respect me as your master?!"

"If I hadn't used magic to restore the senses of that magical girl who was under a spell and allowed her to transform, you would have been captured by Wang Long and Zhang Gui and taken to the gates of the underworld long ago!"

"Waaah..." The girl's originally teary eyes were now filled with embarrassment, and in the end she could only honestly apologize to herself in the mirror.

"Master, I'm sorry, I won't do it again..."

Although she didn't know who Wang Long and Zhang Gui were, she could still hear the hint of concern in his stern tone.

"After all, I thought back then that I was so stupid and didn't have the aptitude for cultivation. Even if something really happened, my master could find a better disciple than me in the future, so that the elixir wouldn't be wasted..."

It's no wonder she thought that way. After all, Yuan An, having just arrived in this realm, seemed to possess an innate ability to deceive people, which made her completely believe Yuan An's explanation that "she was just lucky enough to find the Xuan Mirror left behind by the Yuan Mansion in the lower realm, which is why she was able to come to the Yuan Mansion and receive teachings from the Mansion Master."

"..."

Yuan An took a deep breath.

"Considering this is your first offense, I will let it go this time. But if there is a next time..."

"No, there won't be a next time!" Li Jiangqun, with her hair tied in a ponytail, shook her head faster than a sieve.

But before she could finish speaking, a crisp shattering sound came from the sky. Li Jiangqun looked up and saw purple flowers falling all over the sky. The magical girl's magical costume also disappeared, and she transformed into a black-haired girl who fell helplessly.

Seeing that the girl was about to fall to the ground and get hurt, Li Jiangqun instinctively stretched out her arm. A faint silver light flashed, and she felt her arm sink. Then, she barely managed to catch the girl's body.

Then came an angry voice.

"Foolish apprentice! You're just going to use your bare hands to catch someone like that? Aren't you afraid of ending up with crippled arms?"

Although Yuan An couldn't directly attack, he could still use some mysterious techniques to enhance part of his foolish disciple's body.

However, that was all. Just this one blessing had almost exhausted all his magical power, not to mention that the enhancement was limited and could only be used to pick up a person at most.

Fortunately, Yuan An never let up on his attention to this foolish disciple, otherwise he would have gained a disabled disciple the day after accepting him as a disciple.

"what?"

Before Li Jiangqun could react to what was happening, she heard her master's urgent voice coming from the personal mirror again.

"What are you waiting for? Run! That monster has its eye on you!"

She turned her head and was immediately terrified. The monstrous beast had somehow crouched down and was staring intently at her and the unconscious girl in her arms with its crimson eyes as tall as a person.

"roar!"

The beast opened its blood-red maw, almost swallowing her whole.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

At the critical moment, continuous gunfire rang out from outside the venue. Bullets struck the beast's hard scales relentlessly, only managing to scatter sparks.

Although this weak attack could not harm the inferior beast, it successfully attracted its attention.

The beast turned its massive head, its beastly eyes fixed on the few tiny humans a hundred meters away.

These armed personnel were wearing the venue's work uniforms, covered in dust, and some even had bruises on their bodies, looking quite disheveled.

Even so, these people did not back down. Instead, they held a black pistol, reloading and firing while shouting loudly through their earpieces.

"Take the girl you caught and run! We've already notified the countermeasures department. Keep running along the street, don't stop! We'll hold it off here!"

Even in such a dangerous situation, these people still demonstrated highly professional combat skills, which were completely out of place with their uniforms.

But now was not the time to think about such things. Taking advantage of the beasts being distracted, Li Jiangqun did her best to get the girl as far away from the battlefield as possible.

Only after running to the corner of the street and getting far enough away from the beast did Li Jiangqun finally put down the black-haired girl, panting heavily, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

The piercing alarms blared through the streets as crowds scrambled toward underground shelters.

It was at this moment that a faint light caught her attention.

A seed-shaped crystal ornament lay quietly in the slightly open palm of the unconscious black-haired girl, shimmering with a faint light.

Li Jiangqun was startled, and then she heard her master's deep voice.

"Disciple, take that thing to the mirror."

She glanced at the unconscious girl lying on the ground, and although she hesitated, she did as she was told.

There was a moment of silence in the mirror.

"...Just as I thought."

"My disciple...you said before that you wanted to become a magical girl, right?"

Although Li Jiangqun didn't know why her master was asking this question now, she still nodded firmly.

"Alright, take this. Now let's go back if you still want to save those people from before."

"Since you want to become a magical girl, then I will make you one!"
