Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl-Chapter 62 – Bud Stage
In fact, Lin Yun knew very little about An Ya's death.
Because he was neither present at the scene nor able to see the body. The information he received came solely from the accounts of the younger magical girls.
But even so, he still couldn't understand how An Ya could possibly die.
As a flower card magical girl recognized for her combat power, her strength could be said to be at the pinnacle of magical girls, not to mention being the "strongest flower card."
For An Ya, simply guarding Fangting City was like taking a leisurely stroll in the backyard. Not to mention any danger, she was probably the true disaster for the brutal beasts.
However, her death was so decisive and easy, even making people feel unreal. It was as if the towering mountain that was right in front of them one second ago had silently turned into flat ground the next second.
An Ya died, and bright red blood bloomed from her chest, like a mandala flower inserted on a cherry blossom tree. She closed her eyes, with a satisfied and happy smile on her face, as if she had seen something beautiful and fallen into a sweet dream.
But the road to this dream was a one-way street. Once An Ya went up, she could never turn back.
Lin Yun never saw this last side of her.
When the other magical girls arrived, shocked and saddened by An Ya's death, and tried to take her body away, An Ya's body turned into tiny particles of magic power, dissipating before their eyes.
She left no trace in this world.
In the end, the only thing that could record her existence was a small tombstone.
This was also the reason why Lin Yun couldn't let Lin Xiaolu see An Ya's body at that time: because there was simply no body, and he couldn't explain why to Lin Xiaolu.
At that time, Lin Xiaolu was puzzled by his actions, even angry. And now, knowing the truth, she began to feel that she had done something wrong back then.
After Lin Yun and An Ya's wedding anniversary, several days had passed.
Lin Xiaolu, having learned that her mother was a magical girl, had been absent-minded for several days, not focused on anything.
Lin Yun continued to make the final handover for his resignation, preparing to fully devote himself to the affairs of the magical girls.
Mo Ke continued its seeder business, sometimes staying at home to watch the training of the two new recruits, and sometimes going out to find new magical girls.
According to it, it seemed to have found similar traces in the Lixing District, so there was some progress in this regard.
As for Xia Liang, as one of the more talented new magical girls, she had reached the bottleneck of the bud stage in these days, touching it at a speed that would leave anyone dumbfounded.
And naturally, on this day, she encountered the opportunity to construct her true form.
The true form of a magical girl was a concept that seemed mysterious but was actually quite concrete. In terms of its actual composition, it was a special structure that combined the magical girl's magic power and soul with the magic power source as the core.
It was the foundation of all the magical girl's subsequent abilities, whether it was magic power assembly, spell formulas, or others; they all required the true form. It was also the source of the magical girl's life. No matter how severe the injuries to her body, as long as the true form was not damaged, these injuries could be restored with time and magic power.
Similarly, it meant that once the true form of a magical girl was destroyed, her life would come to an end.
This was why magical girls needed to protect their magic power source. After all, the magic power source was the core of the true form. If the magic power source was damaged, the true form would be severely affected.
And now, Xia Liang was doing something related to this: she was using her own magic power source as the core to construct a new true form.
It was 10 o'clock at night, at Xia Liang's home. When the study session was halfway through, she suddenly felt a state of mind, as if she had received a blessing.
Under Cui Que's reminder and Lin Xiaolu's bored gaze, she began her attempt to construct her true form.
Holding her seed of the heart in her hand, Xia Liang closed her eyes and quietly felt the surge of magic power in her body.
The consciousness, as the manifestation of the soul, captured and followed the flow of magic power, allowing her consciousness to form a similar fluctuation with the magic power. Then, she guided the magic power in the opposite direction, manipulating the frequency of its fluctuations to match her own consciousness and soul.
As the fluctuations of the soul and magic power gradually overlapped, she used her magic power source as the core to establish a two-way communication, merging them into one, thus forming a new power.
Gradually, the seed of the heart in her hand emitted a different light than before.
Like a seed in the soil sprouting under the nourishment of water, the originally round seed of the heart changed its shape from a regular sphere to a drop-like shape. Small spikes stood on top of the gem, giving it a somewhat cute appearance.

Of course, at this stage, the seed of the heart was no longer the seed of the heart. It should have obtained another name - the bud of the heart.
The purple magic power spread in circles from the bud of the heart, enveloping Xia Liang. The fluctuations of the magic power imprinted her silhouette, which then disappeared in an instant, merging back into Xia Liang herself.
Lin Xiaolu, who was lying nearby, couldn't help rubbing her eyes. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to vaguely see two Xia Liangs, except that one of them was transparent like an illusion.Cui Que watched Xia Liang assemble her True Form with her arms crossed, occasionally nodding her head, once again marveling at Xia Liang's talent.
She didn't know how many records of successfully assembling the True Form on the first try existed in the Magic Kingdom, but it was indeed a rare sight in her life.
Twenty-two years ago, in the Magical Girl Squad of Fangting City, among the first batch of main members, the fastest record of assembling the True Form was held by Su Shengzi: she did it in three tries. The slowest record, on the other hand, was held by An Ya: she attempted it a whopping seventeen times.
Of course, the number of attempts An Ya took was not entirely due to her lack of talent. In fact, her talent as a Magical Girl was quite high, but she was the first in the squad to reach the Bud Stage bottleneck.
The lineup of Fangting City back then was even more ragtag than it is now—they didn't have a senior mentor like Cui Que, only a few rookies who knew nothing. The only one who could provide some knowledge about cultivation was a rabbit fairy named Wobo, but its teaching skills were far from exemplary.
Recalling how she spent ten attempts to assemble her True Form under the guidance of that stinky rabbit, Cui Que couldn't help but sigh at how times have changed.
As the purple light faded, Xia Liang, standing in the middle, opened her eyes, holding the flawless Heart Bud in her hands, and gave a playful smile to Lin Yun and Lin Xiaolu.
Clearly, she had succeeded.
And assembling her True Form, reaching the Bud Stage, meant the next step—she would awaken her Magic Power Assembly.
