Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 269 Magic and Taoist Arts (Third Update)

"It's you!"

Upon seeing Sakura wielding the sealing magic staff, Li Xiaolang immediately frowned.

Two months ago, the treasure vault suddenly began to stir. He learned from the elder that the most powerful magical artifact left behind by Clow Reed had appeared in the world.

As the most talented Taoist priest of the Li family in this generation, Li Xiaolang has always regarded Clow Reed, who is recognized as the strongest in the world and can integrate Eastern and Western Taoist arts and magic, as his idol.

Knowing that Clow Reed's strongest magic card had appeared, after discussing it with his mother, Li Yelan, he brought Luo Geng, who could find the Clow Card, along with the corresponding magical artifacts and talismans, to the town of Tomoeda.

Clow Reed is of mixed Chinese and British descent. His father was the eldest son of a famous British magic family, and his mother was the eldest daughter of the Li family, the most famous Taoist family in China at the time.

Therefore, as a descendant of the Li family, Li Xiaolang also possesses the bloodline of Clow Reed and can capture the Clow Cards.

However, on his first day at the new school, he met Sakura, the new owner of the Clow Cards. After discovering that Sakura, who knew nothing, was actually the magician chosen by the sealed beast Cerberus, he was naturally very dissatisfied and decided to compete with Sakura to obtain the Clow Cards.

"Thunder Beasts aren't so easy to deal with. You're so weak, I advise you to get out of the way and avoid getting hurt!"

The little wolf raised his chin, tossed a sentence at Sakura, and then looked at Jerry:

"And who are you?"

The opponent just used a lightning ball spell to knock the lightning beast back to its original form, which shows that their magic power is not weak.

"I am."

Just as Jerry was about to speak, the Thunder Beast that he had knocked back to its original form immediately protested.

Seeing that its lightning couldn't break through Jerry's shield, it immediately turned its head and pounced on Li Xiaolang.

"Be careful!"

Seeing this, Sakura quickly spoke up to remind her.

Although Li Xiaolang's attitude towards Sakura was very bad, which made Sakura very angry, the kind-hearted Sakura still immediately spoke up to warn him when she saw that Li Xiaolang was in danger.

"It's alright, he's no pushover!"

Jerry smiled but didn't offer any help.

Li Xiaolang, the genius of the Li family, is not like Xiaoying, who has just come into contact with magic. He has been practicing Taoist magic since childhood and is proficient in the Five Elements Taoist arts. At only ten years old, his strength has already surpassed most of the adult Taoists in the Li family.

If they weren't powerful enough, why would the Li family have trusted him to come to Japan alone to collect the Clow Cards?

As expected, when Li Xiaolang saw the thunder beast rushing towards him, he didn't panic. Instead, he drew his magic sword, placed it in front of his chest, and chanted an incantation:

"Summon the splendor, so be it!"

With a sudden swing of the magic sword, a cyan blade composed of wind elements shot out, accurately striking the thunder beast and sending it flying backward.

"So that's how it is. There really is a connection!"

Seeing the wind-based magic Li Xiaolang used, Jerry seemed to understand something.

He knew that the reason he had not yet fully mastered the "Wind" card was because he lacked understanding of the Five Elements Taoist arts.

In Jerry's view, magic and Taoist arts in this world are essentially means of achieving goals by utilizing the rules of the world, only the ways of utilizing the rules have their own advantages and differences.

In the West, magic requires a wand; in the East, Taoist arts require a magic sword. Magic requires incantations, and so do Taoist arts.

Clow Reed is so powerful not only because of his extraordinary talent, but also because as a half-Eastern, half-Western person, he had the best learning conditions, came into contact with the most powerful Western magic and Eastern Taoist arts, and combined the strengths of both to create the powerful Clow Cards.

Therefore, if Jerry wants to fully understand all the Clow Cards, he needs to learn about Eastern Taoist arts.

He had originally planned to visit China in person when he had the time, but now it seems that he may not need to for the time being.

"Summon the God of Fire! So be it!"

Seeing the thunder beast, which he had knocked away with his magic, roar and charge again, Li Xiaolang used fire magic once more.

However, although the Thunder Beast is currently ownerless, it is still a highly aggressive high-level card, and it is not so easily subdued. Li Xiaolang's fire-based magic can only knock it away, but it cannot trap or injure it.

"Summon the water dragon! So be it!"

Since fire-based magic didn't work, Li Xiaolang had to try water-based magic, but it obviously didn't work either.

The Clow Cards created by Clow Reed can only be subdued by force using a deck that counters them; otherwise, it takes a much stronger force to violently overcome them.

Although Li Xiaolang is a genius Taoist, he currently doesn't have a single Clow Card to use in combination with him, and relying solely on his Five Elements Taoist techniques is still very difficult.

However, she is definitely much stronger than Sakura. Without the Clow Cards, Sakura is just an ordinary elementary school student.

Oh, it's not so ordinary now. At least I've learned some practical housework magic from the magic book Jerry left behind.

"Hmph, underestimate me! Yan Ling, summon the God of Fire!"

Seeing that ordinary Five Elements Taoist techniques could not subdue the Thunder Beast, Li Xiaolang immediately took out a golden talisman from his Taoist robe, threw it into the air, and pointed it with his magic sword.

Instantly, flames nearly twice as strong as before flew out of the talisman and coiled around the thunder beast.

This time, the Thunder Beast finally struggled and fought for a while before breaking free of the flames.

However, after breaking free from the flames, it probably felt that it had no chance of winning if it stayed there, so it stopped attacking Li Xiaolang and flew away into the air.

"Don't run!"

Seeing that the Thunder Beast had actually escaped, Li Xiaolang panicked instantly.

Unfortunately, his forte is the Five Elements Daoist arts, but he doesn't know any flying spells.

"Apparition!"

At this moment, Jerry finally stopped watching and teleported into the air, spreading his huge white wings and unleashing a Fire Dragon Spell at the oncoming Thunder Beast.

After ten enormous fire dragons appeared, under Jerry's control, they instantly blocked all of Thunder Beast's paths and then ganged up on it and beat it up.

If it were a fire dragon, the Thunder Beast would have a good chance of winning, but instead it was met with ten.

It was true that you could defend your head but not your back, you could defend your left but not your right. In no time, he was completely defeated and left to be entangled by the fire dragon and delivered to Sakura.

If Thunder Beast could speak at this moment, it would definitely berate Jerry for his lack of martial ethics.

"Sakura, seal her away!"

"oh oh!"

Sakura, realizing what was happening, immediately tapped the Thunder Beast with her wand, turning it into a Kuro card.

"Who is this person? He's so strong!"

Watching Jerry first use a technique similar to the lost art of teleportation to instantly move into the air, and then defeat the Thunder Beast with fire-based magic that was far superior to his own, Li Xiaolang felt a sense of unease.

"You guys really pulled it off this time!"

Seeing that Sakura had obtained the Clow Cards, Li Xiaolang didn't want to stay any longer and turned to leave.

But just as he turned around, he heard a perfectly fluent Mandarin voice behind him:

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
