We report the results from our continuous monitoring of the outbursting black hole X-ray transient XTE J1118+480 (KV UMa, ATEL #383, #384, #385, #386, #387, #389, #393, #399, #402, #404) made by Lulin One-meter Telescope (LOT), Taiwan. After about a month declining to V=17.4, its optical flux was found rising again on Feb 13 and has been increasing since. Our latest data show that the source is ~1 mag brighter than the lowest state on Feb 12.
