"The principles and functions of the Three Fires have already been explained. Now let's talk about a practical example: using the bed to ward off ghosts. The bed is not an absolutely safe place, but at least once it is formed, it can withstand most of the weaker, intangible ghosts. Even for relatively strong ghosts, it would take several hours to break through this defense. As time goes on, dawn will break, and they will have to retreat."
"The best way for ordinary people to resist the mental attacks of ghosts is to use their own yang energy to create a magic array. However, ordinary people do not have this ability. The bed is a good place to store yang energy. The human body is constantly radiating yang energy outwards, and the bed can store heat, especially cotton quilts, which have a very good heat storage effect. The yang energy that is released along with the heat will not be directly lost, but will be fixed in the cotton quilt. Thus, the more and more yang energy accumulates, the more solid the shield becomes. Even a powerful ghost will find it difficult to break through such a defense."
While Li Wei was speaking on stage, the girls below were taking notes. Li Wei had provided teaching materials, and the content of the materials was very detailed.
But Li Wei often speaks extemporaneously, talking about knowledge not found in textbooks. This part of the knowledge mostly involves applying knowledge, so not only ordinary 4. students, but even professionals like Irina Zifang are making the most of their time to take notes.
Li Wei checked the time and said, "That's all for today's lessons. As always, don't waste time on the way home. Go straight home after school. Demons and monsters have been rampant lately. Even though you have your protective amulets, you can't be careless. get out of class dismissed!"
The girls stood up, said goodbye to the teacher in unison, put their textbooks and notebooks into their drawers, and left the classroom without taking anything with them.
Because the content taught in class could cause trouble if it were known to outsiders, the girls habitually left their textbooks and notes in the classroom. In any case, they had already memorized what Li Wei explained, so it would be difficult for them to forget it.
Chapter 1. The Students' Plea for Help
The girl was left at the very back, leaving only her and Li Wei in the classroom.
Li Wei looked at the girl in front of him. This girl was a minor character who had a brief appearance in the original story. She was a pink-haired girl named Katase Sakura who had participated in the kendo club in the original story.
The pink short hair was styled very smoothly, and the simple headband held all the stray hairs in place. Most girls don't dare to show their foreheads, and girls who dare to show their foreheads are confident in their own looks.
Li Wei really liked looking into a girl's eyes. Katase's eyes were large and bright, giving off a youthful and energetic vibe, but right now, her eyes held a hint of worry.
Li Wei said, "Katase, is there something you want to tell me?"
Seeing the slightly hesitant expression on the other person's face, Li Wei knew that the other person must have encountered some troublesome matter. Li Wei was also quite enthusiastic about the students' questions, after all, these girls were all potential members of his harem.
Sakura Katase made her decision, her eyes hardening, and said, "Teacher, I need your help."
Li Wei smiled and said, "You can tell me anything, and I'll do my best to help." Li Wei didn't know what had happened to Katase Sakura, but he had prepared amulets for each student beforehand, so Katase Sakura shouldn't be in any danger.
Katase Sakura said, "I've been targeted by something evil. I have the amulet you gave me, teacher, so those evil things can't get close to me. But my family has been harassed by those evil things lately, and they can't even live a normal life. I want to ask you to help me get rid of those evil things."
Li Wei asked, "Are you sure what that is?"
Sakura Katase recalled the unusual circumstances surrounding her family. During this time, she had been learning various occult knowledge from Li Wei, and with the protection of a talisman, she boldly observed the being hiding itself up close and obtained some clues.
“It’s a monster with a physical form, it looks like a spider. It built a nest in my house. Because of the amulet, it’s been relatively well-behaved for a while, but because of its existence, my family has moved out,” Katase Sakura said.
Li Wei nodded. The demons and monsters that even a protective talisman couldn't break through were just so-so in terms of strength. Although they were still deadly hunters to ordinary people, to him they were just ants that he could crush at will.
"Let's go to your house and check on the current situation first." Li Wei didn't waste any words. He planned to go and take a look first. During this period, because of Lin De, demons and monsters were running rampant all over the world. However, in the face of this situation, the gods who had already jumped out to show their faces did not intend to pay attention to it. Therefore, the human world was in a rather chaotic state.
“I’m about to use teleportation. Come here,” Li Wei said.
Sakura Katase walked up to Li Wei, and Li Wei placed his hand on her shoulder. Sakura Katase did not struggle at all. She genuinely trusted Li Wei, so even if Li Wei did something she didn't understand, she wouldn't doubt or question it. She believed that Li Wei would not harm her.
The two figures had disappeared from their original spot, and when Katase Sakura regained her sight, she found herself at her doorstep.
Li Wei looked at the dwelling before him. Even before entering, he could smell a peculiar stench—the smell of insects, which he loathed most. Li Wei did have things he disliked, and insects were one of them, especially caterpillars; just seeing them made him feel nauseous.
Seeing Li Wei frown, Katase Sakura asked anxiously, "Teacher, is that monster troublesome?"
Li Wei shook his head and said, "The other side isn't some formidable character. I just simply hate bugs. Their stench makes me feel a bit nauseous."
Hearing Li Wei's words, Katase Sakura calmed down. As long as it wasn't some insurmountable enemy, that was good. She was afraid that if even Li Wei couldn't deal with the monster lurking in their home, then her family would have no choice but to move.
Katase Sakura led Li Wei into the courtyard and opened the door to the house with a key. The house was very dimly lit, which Katase Sakura found very strange. She had lived in this house for more than ten years and knew the lighting conditions of the house very well. The house was built with lighting in mind, so even on a cloudy day, the house would not be too dark. But the current environment was clearly not right.
"Teacher, please be careful. This house may have become the enemy's stronghold. We are now fighting on foreign soil," Katase Sakura said.
"Don't worry, I've already sensed its presence. It can't escape. But there is something strange about this room." Li Wei snapped his fingers, and several orbs of light appeared from his fingertips. These halos were extremely bright, illuminating the dim interior space as if it were daytime.
The emitted light clusters adhered to the ceiling, serving as illumination.
The two looked up and saw a horrifying scene: several humanoid objects completely wrapped in spider silk were hanging from the ceiling in the entryway. Upon seeing this, Katase Sakura's face turned extremely pale.
Li Wei said nothing, but with a gentle wave of his hand, the humanoid objects hanging from the ceiling fell down and slowly landed on the ground. The spider silk on their bodies was torn apart by Li Wei's magic, and he could see clearly the people wrapped inside the spider silk.
“They’re all dead. Their bodily fluids have been completely drained. It’s a cruel way to die, truly characteristic of spider monsters,” Li Wei said with a serious expression.
Upon seeing the corpses on the ground, Katase Sakura instantly broke down. The corpses were her family members, all of her relatives—her parents and her younger brother—who had all been drained of their life force. This horrific way of dying almost made her faint.
Sakura Katase felt dizzy and unsteady on her feet, falling backward. Li Wei caught her quickly, otherwise, she would have fallen hard.
Katase Sakura looked at Li Wei, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Teacher, all my relatives were killed by that monster. I want you to avenge me. I'm willing to pay any price!"
Li Wei helped Katase Sakura steady herself and said, "I don't need you to give anything. You are my student, and I'm very protective of my own. Anything that goes against my students is a slap in my face. The other side dared to do such a thing, so they shouldn't live either."
Hearing Li Wei's domineering words, Katase Sakura calmed down a bit. She knew that she could avenge her blood feud.
Chapter 1. The Weakling Monster
Li Wei also felt a bit like complaining. This spider monster was really courting death, it was like it was provoking a tyrant.
The amulet on Katase Sakura's body is clearly not an ordinary item, which means that Katase Sakura has someone backing her up. Under such circumstances, the other side still dared to attack Katase Sakura's family. Li Wei wanted to complain, are all monsters this brave these days?
Li Wei said, "Go wait in the yard first. I will take care of the problem soon. I will bring that guy to you, and then you can execute him."
Since she had decided to avenge her student, she had to give her student a chance to participate in the revenge. At present, Katase Sakura had only just cultivated her magic power. With such power, she could only bully ordinary people, and only those ordinary people without firearms.
Now, when Katase Sakura encounters a yokai, she can only escape using the power of her amulet; she definitely can't win in a head-on battle.
Li Wei knew that if he didn't let Katase Sakura do it herself, it might cause her to develop a mental block, affecting her future cultivation and even the quality of her fellow cultivators. This involved Li Wei's own interests, so even for his own sake, Li Wei would handle this matter properly and beautifully.
Sakura Katase nodded, her face filled with sadness, and said softly, "I understand, teacher."
Li Wei asked, "Do you have any other relatives? Where do you plan to go after this matter is resolved?"
Sakura Katase said, "All my relatives have been murdered. Now I am all alone. Even if I wanted to find a place to go, I couldn't."
Sakura Katase comes from a family where both her parents are only children and her ancestors have passed away, leaving her all alone.
That's why Sakura Katase felt a little confused when asked this question.
Li Wei didn't know what to say. In Japan, only children are relatively rare. Most families with the means to have children will have two or more. Katase Sakura's family seems a bit special in this environment.
Of course, young people nowadays are completely giving up on having children. After all, the pressure to survive is there, and starting from the late Heisei era, young people who saw through the workings of society began to give up. And now, in the Reiwa era, everyone has started to relax. Having children? Forget about it.
Li Wei gently rubbed Katase Sakura's head, revealing a gentle expression, and said, "If you don't mind, I can act as your guardian for a while, until you find a suitable guardian."
"Thank you..." Katase Sakura didn't know what to say. A thousand words were in her heart, but when they reached her lips, she forgot them all.
Li Wei gave Katase Sakura a thumbs up and said, "I'll be right back."
Li Wei returned to the detached house, where the entire house had been turned into a lair by the spider monsters. However, to Li Wei, such defenses were like toys made of building blocks; he could destroy them with just a breath.
Li Wei strode forward towards the stairs leading to the building. Just then, a large number of fist-sized spiders suddenly appeared out of nowhere and swarmed towards him. This scene was enough to make someone with trypophobia sick.
A golden light emanated from Li Wei's body, sweeping across the area and burning all the small spiders to ashes. After dealing with the spiders, Li Wei successfully arrived at the building and reached the bedroom door where the spider monster was hiding.
Li Wei kicked open the bedroom door, and a pungent stench hit him. In the cold, dark room, a strange spider with a head and body the size of two people stared fiercely at Li Wei with its wide, scarlet compound eyes.
"Foolish human, you actually dared to step into this place. This is my lair. Now, you are about to die." The spider monster's voice was extremely shrill, like a transvestite speaking in a high-pitched voice, making people feel indescribably uncomfortable. Ordinary people could get goosebumps just by listening to it.
Li Wei remained expressionless. He could only say that ignorance is bliss. However, since he hadn't shown his true strength, it wasn't surprising that his opponent underestimated him. Facing such a weakling, Li Wei had no desire to play the fool and prey on the enemy, because his opponent wasn't even a tiger, just a fragile ant.
"With strength far inferior to even a low-level demon, you dare to be so arrogant? Do you really not know what death means?" Li Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze gradually becoming dangerous.
The spider monster let out a strange cry, and its twisted mouth sprayed out a ball of spider silk. The sticky ball of silk spread out in mid-air, turning into a large net, and came crashing down on Li Wei.
Li Wei stood with his hands behind his back, neither dodging nor avoiding, and the spider web burst into flames in mid-air as he sprinted towards the spider monster.
The spider monster was completely bewildered when its web suddenly went out of control. Then it was caught in a massive web of flames. The special flames, capable of burning the soul, burned the spider monster so badly that it rolled on the ground screaming in agony.
Li Wei sighed inwardly, realizing that when the difference in strength reached a certain level, a battle like this was simply a one-sided crushing defeat.
Li Wei snapped his fingers, and the spider monster's leg was forcibly broken. However, the pain of the broken leg was far less than the agony of its soul being burned. The spider monster just lay on the ground, convulsing. It was in so much pain that it couldn't even scream anymore.
Li Wei controlled the intensity of the flames. If the power of the flames were not controlled properly, the spider monster would be burned to ashes in an instant. It also requires considerable skill to step on an ant without killing it.
With a thought from Li Wei, the spider monster that had lost all its legs floated in mid-air and followed his footsteps, leading him to the courtyard.
Sakura Katase in the courtyard was still a little dazed. Less than two minutes after Levi entered the house, he had already ended the battle and calmly brought out the monster that had killed her family. She realized that Levi was much stronger than she had imagined.
The spider monster, shattered into a human stick, fell in front of Katase Sakura. Due to the excruciating pain in its soul, it could only twitch on the ground.
Li Wei now held a large sword in his hand. He reversed his grip on the hilt and handed the sword to Katase Sakura, saying, "This sword can cut through iron like mud. Even a monster like you can't withstand its slashes. Now is the time for you to take your revenge."
Sakura Katase took a deep breath, her hands trembling as she gripped the hilt and lifted the massive sword. It was lighter than she had expected.
Chapter 4. Revenge
Sakura Katase gripped her greatsword firmly and approached the spider monster whose legs had all been twisted off. Her breathing was rapid; the ups and downs of life had happened too quickly, and she felt like she couldn't keep up.
What she couldn't understand the most was why her family had to come back. They had already moved out, and she had even said that it was dangerous here, but her family still came back and lost their lives.
Although she didn't understand the reason, the deed was done, and there was no use in regretting it now. The only thing she could do was use the power given to her by Li Wei to avenge her deceased relatives.
Katase Sakura held the large swords in both hands, raised them high above her head, and chopped them down at the spider monster's head. The spider monster's head was extremely sturdy, and ordinary blades could not break through such a defense. However, the large swords in Katase Sakura's hands were no ordinary ones. With a single stroke, the spider monster's head was cleaved in two.
The spider monster's powerful vitality kept it alive, but its current state was worse than death for it. It would rather be hacked to death than suffer any more torment.
The spider monster's foul-smelling blood splattered out, but Katase Sakura ignored the filth that splashed onto her and continued to hack away with her large sword. In no time, the spider monster, now only its main body, was chopped into a pile of fragments.
Li Wei snapped his fingers, and all the filth on Katase Sakura's body disappeared.
Li Wei said, "The bodies of your loved ones have been severely damaged, making it impossible to revive them. However, their souls have not been devoured by the spider monsters. I can temporarily summon their souls so you can see them one last time."
Hearing Li Wei's words, Katase Sakura's expression was complicated as she said, "Thank you, teacher."
Li Wei was also curious about how Katase Sakura's family had been tricked. After summoning the soul of the deceased and questioning Katase Sakura, he finally understood what had happened.
This spider monster possesses considerable illusion magic, which, while useless against someone like Li Wei, is an utterly ineffective technique for ordinary people.
The spider demon had placed "markers" on Katase Sakura's family members beforehand, and used these marks to cast an illusion, making her family members believe that they had received a phone call from her. This tricked them back to the place after they had already left, leading to this tragedy.
After their final farewell, Li Wei used Taoist methods to help Katase Sakura's deceased relatives pass on to the afterlife, allowing her to enter the cycle of reincarnation and have a bright new future.
