My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

Standing before Lin Guang, Master Chu’s stern face cracked into a faint smile, but it quickly vanished, replaced by seriousness and gravity.

He also wasn’t wearing any protective gear, simply holding a bamboo sword, adopting a middle stance.

On that middle-aged face, both eyes seemed to light up: “Come on, stretch my limbs with me, let me see how strong you’ve become.”

“Please enlighten me.”

Lin Guang didn’t waste words. He bowed, gripped the sword with both hands, and stood silently in place.

Then—

“Hah!”

With a fierce roar, the bamboo sword shot out like a dragon emerging from the sea, aimed straight at Lin Guang’s face with a sharp whoosh.

Everyone around let out a startled gasp.

But Lin Guang’s reaction was completely different from what everyone expected.

He suddenly burst from stillness, charging forward with a mirrored posture.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the two figures closed in rapidly, as if the outcome would be decided in an instant.

At the same time, Lin Guang’s wooden sword swung out with casual ease.

Yet the stability and power it carried stunned everyone beyond belief.

Slap.

A crisp sound rang out. Master Chu’s wooden sword veered off course.

Both figures froze mid-motion.

Lin Guang had merely sidestepped slightly, his bamboo sword resting steadily against the other’s throat, less than a centimeter from the skin.

Meanwhile, Master Chu’s surefire thrust had been effortlessly deflected, landing harmlessly, as if perfectly coordinated to brush past Lin Guang’s ear.

The training hall fell into dead silence.

The new student’s jaw dropped, his sword clattering to the ground unnoticed.

“One move?! This… how is that possible?”

The senior student’s face also looked like he’d seen a ghost. “The master himself said he could still hold on for at least another year!”

Master Chu stiffly withdrew his wooden sword, staring at the calm-faced youth before him. The shock in his eyes was impossible to hide.

“Such sharp eyes, such fast swords.”

But amid the shock, a flicker of realization crossed his face.

“Indeed, when you were coaching them earlier, I had my suspicions…” Master Chu took a deep breath, his voice barely steady. “You’ve awakened?”

The truth that youth beats old age was undeniable.

Lin Guang was still on the rise, while Master Chu’s body was already declining. It was inevitable that Lin Guang would surpass him.

But that exchange just now wasn’t simple physical dominance—it was total insight on an experiential level. It felt like facing a master who’d immersed himself in swordsmanship for decades, with every move and intention completely read.

That was utterly ridiculous.

“Reviewing my lessons these past few days settled my mind a bit, and I gained some small insights.”

Lin Guang sheathed his sword and stood upright, his tone as flat as if he were saying “I had noodles for lunch.”

—This was exactly his purpose for coming here today.

Aside from testing his post-breakthrough physical limits in a safe environment, he’d also been gauging his reflexes through repeated guidance, gradually mastering his new strength.

The effect of the 【Precision Operation Engine】 was absolutely terrifying.

In fact, Lin Guang’s original body was also considered a type of 【Humanoid Construct】—after all, humans could be seen as flesh-and-blood golems assembled by parents. Beyond the significantly enhanced physical strength, controlling it felt as natural as moving his own limbs. He could even read others’ movements and power application.

After several hours, he’d fully adapted to his current body, and that effortless, instinctive control was back.

Very good.

“Good! A fine ‘small insights’!”

Master Chu showed no frustration at losing to a junior; instead, his face lit up with excitement, even flushing with color. “This is how a swordsman should be!”

His words were resounding and full of spirit.

But the new student couldn’t help blinking, a confused expression on his face—wasn’t that a line from a recently popular novel…

Lin Guang’s expression remained calm and proud. “Naturally.”

“Without such conviction, why bother learning the sword?”

The moment he said that, the senior students erupted into chaos.

Regardless of age, whether adult or teenager, male or female.

“Whoa! Senior Brother, we adore you!”

“Senior Brother beat the master! Senior Brother is invincible in Wind Capital!”

“Senior Brother, you’re the pride of our Wind Capital Youth Palace! A once-in-a-century prodigy!”

The scene grew intensely lively, like a mental hospital had been breached.

The senior student next to the new recruit showed an awkward expression and spoke hesitantly: “Ahem, you haven’t been here long, so you might not know… our sword hall has always been like this.”

—Parents who could keep their children in long-term sword training were hardly ordinary families struggling for food and clothing. And those who persevered all had something unusual about them.

Simply put, they all harbored a bit of chuunibyou inside, endlessly fantasizing about being sword cultivators or swordsmen.

“When you train to the top, can you shoot energy waves or fly on a sword?”

Back when Lin Guang first asked that question, he didn’t get awkward stares—instead, he saw Master Chu’s eyes light up like he’d found a kindred spirit.

“I’m also searching for a way to achieve it.”

The reason Lin Guang stayed was precisely because Master Chu gave that heartfelt answer.

And since the two of them weren’t even pretending, everyone else naturally wasn’t normal either…

The senior student tried to explain further, but found the new recruit’s face lighting up like he’d discovered a new world.

“Yeah! That’s so awesome! Senior Brother!”

Master Chu looked at Lin Guang and shook his head with a hint of regret.

“Lin Guang, sometimes I really think it’s a pity. If you were willing to inherit the sword hall and continue your training, your future achievements would shock the nation, maybe even found your own school.”

“But…” He shook his head, seemingly lamenting Lin Guang’s lack of ambition here. “For you, founding an ordinary school definitely isn’t enough.”

Lin Guang nodded, his tone utterly serious. “Tell me when I can fly on a sword.”

“Heh.”

Master Chu waved his hand, signaling Lin Guang to rest. But as Lin Guang turned to leave, he suddenly remembered something, his expression growing grave, and he called him back in a low voice:

“Oh, Lin Guang.”

Lin Guang paused mid-step and turned around. “What’s wrong?”

Master Chu glanced around to make sure no one was listening, then whispered: “Things have been unsettled around here lately.”

“I have a few police friends who say they’ve received several missing person reports this week. All at night, and…”

Master Chu paused, his face stern, eyes glinting with sharpness.

“Some witnesses even claim they saw unclean things. A few people went mentally unstable because of it.”

Lin Guang was momentarily stunned.

“I rushed over at the time, but found nothing. The disappearances, though, are real.”

“I don’t know if telling you this is right or wrong… I’m guessing once you hear it, you might not be able to resist investigating.”

“But kid, even though you’re skilled, stronger than me now, don’t let your guard down.”

Unclean things?

Lin Guang’s heart jolted sharply.

Master Chu was someone similar to himself—always interested in such matters, much like how people in his past life believed in feng shui or ghosts and gods.

Given his personality, he wouldn’t talk nonsense. He’d probably heard something concrete through his police connections.

In the past, Lin Guang might have dismissed it as hearsay, since he’d come up empty countless times before.

But after absorbing that magic crystal and witnessing true supernatural power…

Lin Guang was well aware that this world might truly harbor a so-called dark side.

“I understand. Thanks for the warning.”

Lin Guang nodded, showing no excessive emotion.

But the moment he turned to leave, a flicker passed through those dark eyes—the gleam of a hunter catching the scent of prey.
