Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 164 Golden Flame
Beneath the mask lay a face that could be described as perfect.

The young man had deep-set facial features and a straight nose.

It seems as if a god of magic, at the very beginning of his birth, constantly sculpted and chiseled his face, finally exhausting his efforts to create such a masterpiece.

Li Wei stared at him, momentarily lost in thought. The other man's hair was a rare deep blue.

It was definitely not the effect of artificial dye or magical props—the other person's hair was flowing. Li Wei could feel the flowing magic in his hair.

It's not just the hair. The young man before me is magic itself.
"Well, now you see clearly."

The young man's voice, no longer masked, became clearer and colder.

"This is what you call a 'rat'."

Isn't your mediocrity, meticulously maintained in the Hogwarts greenhouse, more deserving of the title 'legend'?

"Truly extraordinary."

Li Wei sincerely praised it.

“If I didn’t know how outrageous your actions were, I would always be willing to give a chance to such an outstanding young person as you.”

At some point, Li Wei's tone of voice had begun to resemble Dumbledore's.

"Excessive things? Ha—tell me then, what do you know?"

Li Wei glanced at the young man in front of him and quietly observed him—according to what the other party had said earlier, he obviously had not yet entered the legendary realm, so naturally he could not possess the characteristics of a legendary figure.

How do you explain his strange and magical state at this moment?

"These kids—you must have done something pretty awful to them, right?"

Without being legendary, yet possessing such peculiar abilities, is it due to different understandings of magic?

With the activation of lightning, Li Wei's thoughts raced.

Within the span of a single sentence, he roughly arrived at a bold conjecture:

The young man before me had not reached the legendary realm, but he had changed his own state through some kind of systematic magical learning or faith—this was a remarkable achievement.

If a wizard could truly develop such a system, Li Wei couldn't imagine how great their achievements must have been during their lifetime—or rather, how much it was the result of generations of continuous accumulation.

With the protection of the Crimson Loyalty Curse, these blood descendants hidden behind the pure-blood families should not have to worry about any danger.

Their danger, however, should come from elsewhere.

Li Wei's gaze swept over the group of children—the word "string-wielding puppet" involuntarily came to mind.

Throughout his conversation with the blue-clad youth, the children did not react at all, but simply stared at him with empty eyes—even Li Wei, who had experienced this scene for a long time, found it somewhat unsettling.

Besides being chilling, it is also heartbreaking.

What exactly did this blue-haired young man do to these children?
"Something too extreme?"

Upon hearing the ambiguous answer, Caleb Nott's interest vanished instantly.

"You think you're so smug just because you fooled me with a clumsy attempt to provoke me once, at my behest?"
"So you think you can fool me a second time using the same method?" "It seems even legendary wizards aren't as impressive as I imagined—or rather, you, this newly crowned legend, are far from it—that's fine, let's start with the easier ones. They're less challenging, but more reliable."

Nott stepped down from the throne, and two more children quietly approached him from behind—making a total of four.

His hand touched the wand at his waist and gently aimed it at Li Wei, seemingly unconcerned that Li Wei was launching a sneak attack at this moment.

"Is your incredibly powerful lightning magic a result of your legendary realm? Show it to me—once I make my move, you'll have no chance."

"interesting."

It must be said that the young man's words and actions were very deceptive and intimidating. Even Li Wei, who had been through countless battles, was unable to control his heart and was shaken by the curse.

This curse has come at just the right time—it couldn't have come earlier or later, but it had to come at this exact moment. Could it be because he was petrified for two months, causing the curse to take effect more slowly?
Li Wei raised an eyebrow, subtly activating his Brain Lock technique to suppress any wavering that was otherwise impossible. Now that he was aware of the curse's effects, and his opponent had brazenly given him the opportunity, this slight wavering would have negligible impact on him.
Livy's thoughts became calm under the closed-off state of his mind, but the true thoughts hidden beneath the calm surface remained unknown to anyone.

The unknown is indeed humanity's oldest and deepest fear.

Even Dumbledore had never put so much pressure on Livy.

But he is one of the three and a half legendary wizards who are still alive today, so how could he possibly be afraid of the other party?

"Rumble--"

The sky, which should have remained unchanged and was shrouded in green smog, suddenly emitted a muffled rumble of thunder.

Amidst the rolling green haze, Li Wei bluntly pulled out his wand and pointed it at the young man—since the other party was greeting him with such a brazen attitude, he was also curious to see how the other party would deal with his spell.
"Ig-ni-tego (forged by fire)"

As the syllables fell, a sudden gust of wind arose.

With Li Wei's unbridled use of magic, this spell, which embodied most of his life's work, revealed its true form for the first time in a deserted forbidden area!
then.

The entire cemetery was set on fire.

The dust in the air, the soil beneath their feet, and even the rolling green haze in the sky—everything was instantly imbued with the concept of 'burning'.

Without a sound, everything in Nott's field of vision was ignited, turning into pure golden flames that sought to purify everything!

Even faster than his surprise was the widening of his pupils.

The fiery flames of the heavens converged before Li Wei, transforming into the majestic image of a fire phoenix—far clearer and grander than the two times he had cast them at Hogwarts before!

There was no small talk or unnecessary conversation.

Once the decision is made to take action, then we must go all out.

The phoenix, whose eyes were about to ignite half of the magic in the world, burst into flames and slowly flapped its wings—and then, the other half of the magic world that Nott had been trying his best to restrain collapsed and ignited.

boom! ! !
Under Li Wei's icy gaze, the fire phoenix transformed into a raging sea of ​​fire, crashing into the other side of the world amidst a clear, melodious cry!

At that moment, he clearly saw the terror in the blue-haired youth's eyes.

This puzzled Li Wei.

But the next moment, the children, who had not reacted at all to the previous devastating scene, suddenly screamed in unison!
"what--!!!"

Their empty eyes suddenly contracted, and for the first time, extreme pain appeared on their numb faces!
Under this pain, their bodies began to tremble violently!
The next moment, all of their bodies transformed into black smoke formed from violent energy, surging towards the incoming golden flames!
