Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

"It hurts so much. My body feels like a balloon that's been blown up to its limit. If you blow any more air into it, I'm afraid my body will explode..."

As she spoke, Anten Meizi seemed to realize the reason why Tia asked her to do these things: "Teacher Tia... Could it be that the domain is an extension of body strengthening magic?"

"Yes, that's right. Using enhancement magic to its limit will cause a bloating and pain in our bodies. But as long as we persist and let the magic power overflow, we can form a domain outside our bodies. The more magic power that overflows, the larger the domain will be."

No wonder we saw the domain flying out with Tia at that time. It turns out that the domain of the Shining Stone Magical Girls is integrated with their body strengthening magic.

After understanding this, Anten Meiko's motivation increased a lot. She no longer used her magic power recklessly to charge forward. Instead, she pushed the subsequent magic power hard to stack on the strengthening magic as if squeezing a syringe.

The increasing accumulation of magic power also caused Anten Meiko's body to produce waves of pain, and this pain was no longer just coming from the skin and muscles.

Her fragile blood vessels and bones were under immense pressure from the excessive amount of magic power, causing her body to tremble as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her in winter.

"Continue..." She said secretly in her heart, enduring the severe pain coming from all parts of her body, and continued to mobilize her magic power into strengthening magic.

As the repulsive force grew stronger, the speed at which she squeezed out the magic power became slower and slower, and the amount became smaller and smaller, but with each push, the magic pressure on her body would increase.

Until the pain suddenly turned into a stinging pain, the skin on her arm finally couldn't withstand the overly powerful infusion of magic power and tore a small cut.

Blood flowed down the wound, but after being rendered by the red fluorescent light, it was not too obvious.

But before Tia could speak, her body trembled, and the magic power she was using instantly dissipated, even the strengthening magic was directly canceled.

Her body tilted and she fell to the ground, twitching continuously. The pain swept over her like a tide, drowning all her senses.

"what!!"

When she was in the enhanced state just now, she didn't feel it so strongly, but the moment the enhanced magic came into contact, it seemed as if all the pain pried open the door of Anten Meiko's pain nerves at the same moment.

You know, when Anten Meiko was transformed, her pain was reduced by more than 50%. In this situation, she would still feel cramps due to the pain. You can imagine how intense her pain was.

The screams made all the magical girls who were still in training stop what they were doing and turn to look at where Meiko Anten was.

Rei and Nanako, who were playing games nearby, rushed to Anten Meiko's side almost at the same time.

"Yezi? What's wrong with you?" Li wanted to support her, but as soon as her hand touched her body, her face twisted.

This kind of pain is not just on the surface of the body, but affects the entire body from the inside out and is completely unavoidable.

"Syphias, don't touch her. Her body is on the verge of collapse."

"She, how could she get herself into this state? Isn't it you who's watching her?"

"She pushed her strengthening magic to its limit, and her body collapsed because it thought it couldn't withstand the increase in power brought by the strengthening."

Volume 3: This is a completely different world: Chapter 20: Tianqing Palace

Nakajima Rei knew very well that with Tia's strength, she would not be unable to see such a thing, and now she was so indifferent, which was obviously intentional.

Even so, she still felt a little uncomfortable watching Meiko Anten struggling on the ground and being unable to provide any help.

When Nanako saw her sister Meiko like this, she was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down. Her eyes kept scanning Tia, and the mist rising from her eyes made people feel distressed.

"It's okay. This kind of pain is what she has to go through now. Mom once told me that in this world, if you want to gain power, you must pay the corresponding price."

"The domain is the watershed for the Yaoshi Magical Girl to become stronger. The price she needs to pay will definitely not be light. However, her current body's ability to endure it is indeed a bit insufficient, so she can only resort to an alternative method."

Li repeated the last few words with some doubt: "An alternative method?"

"Well, make her body strong enough to withstand high-intensity magic pressure."

Hearing this, Li was still a little worried: "What should I do specifically?"

"Practice."

"Practice... practice?"

"Yes, I have already requested transportation from the commander. When we get there, Ruby, Sanqing, and I will go to the training place together."

"You...you three? I...I also..."

"While we are away, you and Tianji must deal with the invading void beasts and protect the city."

She originally wanted to go along, but Tia's words were so decisive that she could only take back the second half of her words and nodded helplessly, "I understand."

She was not a fool, so she knew that during this extraordinary period, the base must not be left unmanned.

This time, in order to help Meiko Andeng become stronger, it was equivalent to taking away three powerful magical girls at once. If she went with them, Katzelina would be left alone without anyone to take care of her.

So it is reasonable for her to stay here.

After Anten Meiko's pain eased a little, she was sent to Tia's room to rest for half a day.

Her recovery ability was very strong. Although the pain had not completely dissipated, she had at least recovered to the point where her body was able to move and no longer felt pain from contact.

Standing in a square outside the base, a luxury car slowly stopped in front of them. A frivolous-looking, yellow-haired young man wearing a plaid shirt and a large gold chain poked his head out of the car and gave them a smile that all men could understand.

"Where are you going, two beautiful ladies? If you don't mind, how about getting in my car and giving you a ride?"

An Teng Meizi frowned in disgust at the yellow-haired young man who was looking at her chest unscrupulously: "Is this the means of transportation you applied for?"

Lu Qi VII〓 I② (Eight) “No, oh, here it comes.”

As she finished speaking, there was a sudden "boom" sound from the distant sky, and then a civilian helicopter slowly flew over their heads and dropped a rope ladder to them.

Seeing that the means of transportation was not the yellow-haired young man's luxury car, An Teng Meizi slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, after giving the former a vicious look, she followed Tia to grab the rope ladder.

Under the stunned gaze of the yellow-haired young man, they entered the helicopter cabin together along the rising rope ladder.

"Ruby, please calm down! You guys are finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

As soon as they arrived at the helicopter cabin, Rin, whom they hadn't seen for a while, was already waiting in the cabin and greeted them immediately.

"Rin, are you coming with us too?"

"Well, Senior Tia invited me to go with you this time. My mission is to teach you swordsmanship and boxing while trying limited expansion."

Upon hearing this, An Teng Meizi's neck couldn't help but shrink.

In her understanding, the words "I'll teach you swordsmanship and boxing" spoken by Lin were almost the same as "I'll give you a good beating."

"Where are we going to practice this time?"

Hearing this, Tia no longer concealed it: "Let's go to the mountains. There is a temple left by my mother."

The helicopter slowly moved away from Tokyo, moving along a mountainous area, and finally hovered in mid-air above one of the highest peaks.

"Let's go." Tia reminded, and then she took the lead and jumped off the helicopter. She turned into a ball of white light in mid-air, entered the transformation state, and landed steadily.

She and Lin looked at each other, and also jumped out of the helicopter like Tia did, but after transforming in mid-air, they were not as calm as Tia.

Lin was better off. Although he had to use all four limbs to barely stabilize his body, he still landed on his feet.

And Anten Meiko was blown to and fro in mid-air by the air currents, and finally fell to the ground with her buttocks after having to use the enhanced magic.

At that moment, she felt like her butt was about to explode.

Her embarrassed look as she rubbed her buttocks and slowly stood up with a look of pain on her face made Rin burst into a cute laugh.

"Let's go, we'll be there soon."

After glaring at Rin with some ill intention, Meiko Anten canceled her transformation and followed the two into the depths of the forest.

After walking for less than ten minutes, a small dojo suddenly appeared in front of us.

This Taoist temple is surrounded by walls on all sides. The main gate is of ancient style. On the top of the gate, there are five-clawed golden dragons with their eyes facing each other. In the middle of the two dragons' mouths, there is a round jade ball the size of a fist. It is emerald green but the material is unknown.

Inside the dojo is a large hall that is not too high but still magnificent. It would be more appropriate to call it a martial arts hall rather than a dojo.

Seeing this, Ando Meiko couldn't help but look at Rin who was standing beside her.

Because the design style of this exterior wall and inner courtyard does not contain any Japanese elements, it is full of Chinese style.

Sensing Ando Meiko's surprise, Tia smiled and explained, "This is a training ground left behind by a powerful Chinese magical girl predecessor. It's called Tianqing Palace."

"That senior gave this place to my mother before returning home, so this Tianqing Palace is now considered part of our Shen Tiao family's property."

As they were talking, the three of them walked in slowly. The moment they stepped through the door, a magical power blew over like a breeze, hitting Ando Meiko's face, making her feel refreshed.

"Such a rich magical power! Is this the place where spiritual veins converge?"

After hearing this, Tia and Lin both looked at her with some surprise. It was obvious that they did not expect that she would know the so-called place where spiritual veins converged.

Volume 3: This is a completely different world: Chapter 21: Wood Spirit Pearl

Noticing their expressions, Ando Meiko said somewhat awkwardly, "I once spent some time at the intersection of spiritual veins to resolve some troublesome matters. I felt that the magical fluctuations here were similar to those there, so I casually mentioned it."

The magic fluctuations at the intersection of spiritual veins are different from those in other places. The magic in this place will collide between the two intersecting spiritual veins, and then erupt upward at the center point.

Although the process is different, the result is somewhat similar to a geyser or volcanic eruption.

However, when this erupting magic power reached a certain height, it bounced back as if it had hit a transparent wall that was invisible to the naked eye.

Noticing Ando Meiko's gaze, Rin glanced up at the sky and then said, "Did you notice the emerald orb between the two dragons' mouths on the gate?"

"Hmm, I noticed. Is there anything special about this jade-like gem?"

Rin was much more familiar with her hometown than Tia, so when she began to explain, Tia, like Ando Meiko, listened quietly. "Chinese magical girls, or Taoists, are divided into five factions that use mythical beasts as totems."

"The Dongyun Xuanmen, representing the Azure Dragon; the Xifeng Xuanzong, representing the White Tiger; the Beihai Xuandian, representing the Black Tortoise; the Nanyan Xuange, representing the Suzaku; and the Zhongyi Xuantang, representing the Qilin and also the most mysterious."

"The five major spirit beads are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each faction possesses a spirit bead representing the attributes of each mythical beast. The one placed here is the wood spirit bead owned by the Dongyun Xuanmen."

As he spoke, Rin touched his chin and thought for a moment: "I think this should be a replica. I can't believe that replicas have this ability..."

"This is the real thing."

However, before Rin could finish her words, Dia interrupted her. The few words she said shocked Rin.

"Really? Is this real?"

"Yeah." Nodding, Tia continued, "Mom said this was thrown to her by the senior while sorting out the waste, and she didn't care to take it and just put it here as a decoration."

Perhaps because Kamijou Asahina didn't take this thing seriously, Tia had no intention of hiding anything from the two people who came here.

However, she said it so casually because she was not afraid that the Wood Spirit Pearl would be stolen. Although Kamijou Asahina disdained to take it, because it was given to her by someone else, she still set up a magic circle around it to keep it safe.

Anyone who wants to take the Wood Spirit Pearl out without permission will be detected by the magic circle, and the magic circle will also be activated to confine the thief in this space.

The entire Tianqing Palace is also hidden by this magic circle. If Tia was not here, even if Rin and Ando Meiko stood in front of the Tianqing Palace, they would never be able to find it.

Hearing Tia's words, Ando Meiko was just a little surprised, but Rin's face twitched. Tia and the others might not take it seriously, but she knew it very well.

That thing is an absolute treasure in every faction, and those leaders regard it as their own life. Who would have known that this wooden spirit bead would become a waste that could be thrown away at will in the hands of that senior.

However, now this wooden spirit bead is only used to store and hide magic power to protect Tianqing Palace.

And if the people of Dongyun Xuanmen knew that this thing was being used as a decoration at the door, they would probably rush here in full force and take the wooden spirit bead back.

Of course, even if this wooden spirit bead is real, it has nothing to do with her anymore. No matter how surprised she is, she will not do anything to help Dongyun Xuanmen take it back or tell them the news.

This little episode did not affect the mood of the three people. After walking into the main hall, a spacious hall appeared in front of them. On the ceiling of this hall, there was a lifelike carved green dragon hovering in it.

There was a faint pressure that made it difficult to breathe coming from above their heads, and the magic power flowing in their bodies was suppressed and slowed down at this moment.

Practicing magic control here is like running with weights. Although it will be very hard, the effect of this high-intensity exercise should be very good.

This also made Meiko Ando understand the purpose of Tia bringing them here.

But she was puzzled. If Tianqing Palace had such an effect, why didn't it allow all magical girls to come here to practice? Wouldn't that be more effective?

Of course, no matter how strange it was, she had no intention of asking. After all, Tia said that this place was already an asset of their Shen Tiao family, and it was their business how to use it.

"First of all, let me announce my training plan." Standing in the center of the hall, Tia said to the two of them.

The first step is to get up at six in the morning, take breakfast and go for a two-hour morning run, followed by a twenty-minute breakfast time and a ten-minute break.

I started meditating and exercising my physical endurance at 8:30 and continued until 11:00. After running back for an hour, I started to eat lunch. The total lunch break was one and a half hours.

I get up at 1:30 and go to the hall to practice the speed and control of magic power. After 5:30, I learn sword and boxing with Lin. After 8 o'clock, I have dinner and take a half-hour walk, and then go back to sleep.

Hearing this precise training plan, Ando Meiko's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Tia used a lot of ambiguous words when talking about the plan, which made her completely confused about what these so-called trainings would entail. However, it was this unknown that was often the most terrifying.

"We just arrived here today, so you don't have to follow the plan. Let grandma take you to familiarize yourself with the environment here." Tia clapped her hands.

An old lady who looked to be about sixty years old, with a gentle smile on her face, slowly walked in from the hall door, and then respectfully bowed to Ando Meiko and the other two.

"This is Granny Xing, who manages this place. From today on, Granny will be in charge of our food, clothing, housing, and transportation. You should just focus on becoming stronger here, and don't worry about anything else."

"Okay." Nodding, Ando Meiko and Rin answered in unison.

"That's it. So, Granny Xing, I'll be troubling you from today on."
