High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 176: Chapter 100 Guardian of the Original Morning_1

The wind was no longer boisterous, and the sunlight regained its gentleness.

The classroom in the east 601 of the main teaching building was silent.

Everyone was dumbstruck, staring at the silverback gorilla tightly bound on the podium, and had deep respect for the delicate figure with a hair bun on her head, standing not far from them with her back facing them.

Everyone on the scene could speculate how strong the gorilla summoned by Professor Yao was.

Just by observing how the gorilla effortlessly broke free from the spell Tang Dun painstakingly cast, one could tell how strong it was.

And now, the colossal beast that made Tang Headmaster suffer a backlash from the spell and that knocked the little spiritual wizard unconscious had no resistance against the spell Jiang Yu cast, and was firmly tied up.

Those vines even seemed to be alive, flexibly exploring every open hole in the gorilla.

”Truly impressive,” Tang Dun said with a dark face, the first to break the silence in the classroom. It was unclear whether he was praising Jiang Yu’s spellcasting skills, or Professor Yao’s spell.

As if a starting gun had been fired, others began to speak up, releasing the emotions that had just been frozen within them.

The classroom was immediately plunged into a great commotion.

Everyone was both astounded by Jiang Yu’s mastery of the spell and shocked by the power of the spell itself.

”I knew it, my cousin is the best!” Li Meng tried hard to suppress her sneezes, her face flush red, loudly shouted within a group of girls, ”Cousin, kill that big monkey!”

Jiang Yu didn’t turn around, but just sighed deeply.

”A gorilla that weighs eight hundred pounds, can be tied up in any way we want,” Zheng Qing laughed, slapped Xiao Xiao’s shoulder, and threw back the slang used by Watermelon Head earlier, ”As easy as pie!”

Xiao Xiao glared at him angrily, but before she could speak, another voice interrupted.

”Unbelievable!” Zhang Ji Xin, holding his boxing gloves, his red face glowing, exclaimed in shock, ”Spells can be this powerful?”

As if to explain this, he looked at a few of his friends and quickly explained, ”The old man always told us that there’s no monster a punch can’t crush, if there is, then punch it a few more times... Like the beast just now, I couldn’t crush it even with three punches!”

”That’s because your training is not up to par,” Xiao Xiao finally seized the opportunity and sneered, ”When facing this kind of spell, you should run over and knock out the wizard casting the spell before it’s cast... If you think of using fists to fight against spells, it’s purely giving up essentials for trivia.”

”Isn’t the Queen herself even more incredible?!” Duan Xiao Jian, drooling and interrupting their conversation, ”Old Yao only hung the spell on the blackboard for a few minutes, I didn’t even read it smoothly, and she’s already using it so skillfully! Absolutely crazy!”

”Is it that hard?” Zheng Qing wondered and opened his law book, his lips moved slightly, silently chanting the spell.

A green light appeared from the surface of the law book, and several silk-thin vines shot through space, wrapping and knotting around Zheng Qing’s fingers effortlessly.

”Not really that hard,” Zheng Qing concluded, admiring, ”Indeed, it’s a very powerful spell, these vines are flexible and can be freely adjusted in size, it’s like they have a soul!”

A few people around him stared dumbfounded at the small vines entangling in and out of his fingers.

After a while, Xin Fat Man was the first to speak, ”There’s a bug in the world, I’m going to complain to the Great Wizard Council.”

Duan Xiao Jian also looked at Zheng Qing with a face of grief and indignation, spit out two words, ”End of friendship.”

Only Zhang Ji Xin, who shrugged and seemed very open-minded, ”We don’t understand the world of academic overachievers... I’d better continue practicing my punch that knocks out a wizard before the spell is cast.”

Zheng Qing laughed it off and didn’t pay attention to these trivial matters.

He was delighted to feel the strange ripples in the void and enjoyed the joy of casting his first magic spell. His previously slightly nervous mood finally completely settled down.

”This is magic,” he clenched his fist, watching the vines turn into green points of light disappearing into the air and muttered to himself, ”I am a wizard!”

The frenzy in the classroom came quickly and went just as swiftly.

When the students finally quieted down, Professor Yao finally stood up.

”Roughly that’s how it is.” He waved his hand and sent the gorilla, which was tied up like a rice dumpling, away. He nodded in satisfaction, ”Jiang Yu did well... What do you guys understand now?”

”The gorilla was blown...” Before Duan Xiao Jian could finish his sentence, he looked at the flickering Tarot Cards before him, shut his mouth immediately, and swallowed the last word, ’chrysanthemum’. He turned around and gave a flattering smile at a figure with a big, wine-red wave of hair.

Elena silently took back her cards.

”The spells we cast are not to cause vines to grow, but to drive that ’Ge Ancestor’.” Tang Dun began, striving to clear up the laughingstock he had created earlier.

”Correct!” Old Yao’s pipe knocked heavily on the blackboard, drawing everyone’s attention.

Everyone closed their mouths, pulled out various magical shorthand pens, and began to take notes.

”Ordinary people invented various tools for convenience, to work on their behalf. We, too, have the same considerations and needs.”

”So, powerful wizards a long time ago subdued mighty mythical creatures to serve us.”

”’Ge Ancestor’ is such an entity.”

”Our spells, by connecting with the Ge Ancestor, communicate the covenant left by our ancestors, and then produce the ability to use this power.”

”In other words, you’re merely using your own insignificant power to drive two legendary forces. Therefore, it is not surprising to produce such a powerful spell.”

At this point, Old Yao took a breath, and took a heavy inhale from his pipe.

There was not a sound in the classroom, only the rustling of pen tips sliding across paper could be heard.

”Since there are Ge Ancestors, are there other similar powerful creatures?” Zheng Qing finished writing, and while waiting for other students, he couldn’t resist his curiosity and hesitantly raised his hand.

”Don’t hold back, no need to raise hands.” Old Yao waved his hand and pondered: ”Speaking of such legendary creatures, there are actually many... even ’Ge Ancestors’ like this exist, it’s just they may be a bit difficult for you to use.”

As he said this, he rapped on the blackboard with his pipe again.

A series of formulas flowed out one after another until finally, four large characters appeared above:

”Tangled Vine.”

Zheng Qing’s eyes widened, his hand swiftly moving the pen, trying hard to imprint all the traces on the blackboard into his law book.

Old Yao leisurely began on the podium:

”This is also a binding spell.”

”Similar to ’Ge Zhitianxi’.”

”But within this spell, it contains the true name of another, more powerful being-- ’Lei ancestor’.”

”According to legend, the Lei ancestor is the creator of the Ge ancestor.”

”In this spell, the power of Ge ancestor is just a primer to draw out the power of the Lei ancestor.”

”And the second ’lei’ character in the spell, compared with ’tian’, is an unknown multiple of a powerful contract force.”

”If your strength is insufficient, you can’t even pronounce these two characters!”

By this point, Old Yao took a heavy drag on his pipe, making his shiny bald head appear mysteriously extraordinary in the smoke:

”A curse, a curse, is just a way of application. The most powerful thing in the world is not this kind of application, but the foundation laying method for application.”

When the class ended, Old Yao left four large characters, ’Guardian of the Original Morning’, and went away.

No one knew what it meant.

The common view among the students was that this was the name of a spell they needed to practice in advance.

Stimulated by the first spell, everyone went into a frenzy looking for information about this spell after class.

Textbooks, exercise books, even the library’s collection.

But until today, three days later, still, no one was able to discover anything based on these four characters.

The second potion class came in this chaotic atmosphere.

It wasn’t until then that many people realized they had forgotten the homework Professor Li had assigned in the previous class.
