Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 63 Go and kill the basilisk.

Harry peeked out, ready to close his eyes the moment the basilisk turned around.

But the next second, his gaze suddenly froze—he subconsciously took a deep breath, his pupils dilating to their maximum size due to extreme shock.

Before him, a gigantic basilisk was dancing wildly.

Its body was as thick as an oak tree trunk, and its entire body was a vibrant green, gleaming with the unique brilliance of a venomous snake. Its eye, on the right side, had a dazzling spear of fire deeply embedded in it, constantly burning the black blood gushing from the basilisk's eye.

"hiss------!"

The basilisk's hissing and the sound of blood evaporating rang out incessantly. In the dark, secret chamber, the massive creature, severely injured, went completely mad!

Before it, the wizard in black robes appeared so insignificant.

But Harry's gaze remained firmly drawn to the black figure calmly holding the wand.

"Test complete. The snake's eyes are the most vulnerable part of the basilisk's body, but it is heavily protected by it. To break through its defenses, the spell must be highly concentrated by combining it with the transformation spell, and the entire body must be broken through at the same time. A- grade confirmed."

Harry's pupils reflected the scorching firelight, and he saw the blazing current above Levi's head change once again.

A fire phoenix, purely transformed from flames, descended from the scorching stream and slowly circled beside Li Wei—this must be the great hero who blinded the snake monster's right eye earlier.

Harry couldn't contain his excitement as he gazed at the fiery creature's form with deep emotion—it gracefully hovered beside Levi, enveloped in an auspicious golden-red halo, its three tails, composed of pure flames, scattering sparks in the air, exuding holiness and power.

Harry was almost mesmerized.

Even the phoenix Fawkes in Dumbledore's office had never captivated him like this—he stared intently at the phoenix, anticipating its attack—the basilisk's dangerous left eye would surely be completely destroyed by this strike!
When Professor Li Wei regains his vision, he will only become more powerful!

But what happened next was completely beyond Harry's comprehension.
Instead of attacking, the magnificent fire phoenix quietly floated to a high place, while Professor Levi's hand, which was holding his wand, relaxed slightly, and he slowly raised his head.
What is he going to do!
Harry's pupils constricted; he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

The basilisk's other eye is still intact; wouldn't it be suicide to make eye contact with it now?
At that moment, Harry felt as if time was slowing down—he watched Levi's actions with utter incomprehension.

Why—why—

Why exactly did Professor Li Wei do this?
Just as his gaze was about to meet the basilisk's, Harry could no longer hold back and suddenly leaned out, shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Watch out! Its other eye isn't blind yet!!!"

moment.

The man and the snake, who were about to make eye contact, suddenly turned their heads away.

not good!

Harry's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to close his eyes—but faster than him was a black-robed figure that flashed in front of him, blocking Harry's unclosed vision and staring straight ahead.

A strong sense of security instantly enveloped Harry, far surpassing the invisibility cloak he was wearing.

"Professor Li Wei—"

“I know, Harry.”

I know, what do you know?
Harry was confused, his mind a complete mess, as the basilisk's hissing grew louder and louder as it approached.

"Harry."

Li Wei's voice rang out quietly amidst the basilisk's frantic hissing.

Harry felt a throbbing pain in his head from the Basilisk's cries, but he tried to listen.

"After that, I'll be responsible for gouging out the basilisk's eyes. The task of killing it is up to you."

Levi stood before Harry, his robes fluttering in the clash between the basilisk and the dragon shield. Taking advantage of the moment the basilisk was thrown back, Harry carefully raised his gaze and finally saw part of the shield's original form—a transparent barrier composed of countless crimson crystals, hexagonal in shape, their edges gleaming with a molten gold sheen, layered and jagged, wild yet beautiful. Now was not the time to think about that.

"Boom."

The basilisk slammed violently into the dragon scale shield once more—the shield wall composed of scales breathed and opened like a biological wall, vibrating together and precisely distributing the impact force across the entire shield surface.

A strong wind was blowing all around them, but Harry and Levi's positions were unaffected. In this tense and delicate environment, Harry's thoughts were flying around like the rubble.

The task of slaying the basilisk is entrusted to me?

Just imagining this possibility made his scalp tingle and his brain tremble.

Why me? How could I possibly be a match for the basilisk?

Why don't you just kill it?
"professor--"

Harry seized the opportunity to look up again, nearly scared out of his wits.

Li Wei's body, particularly his waist and abdomen, had somehow become tinged with a cold, lifeless gray-white.

Harry felt as if a part of his soul had been petrified just by looking at it—even though he had already warned Professor Levi, was he still going to choose to stare at the basilisk?

why?
Harry stared blankly up at Levi—even now, the other's gaze remained firmly fixed on the charging basilisk.

"Begin recording the physical changes after making eye contact with the basilisk."

"In the first second, I felt strange sensations all over my body, and I relaxed the magical resistance in my waist."

"In the second second, his waist was the first to be petrified and he began to lose sensation."

"Begin to release the magical protection of the left eye. The petrification process begins to accelerate rapidly—clearly, this is a magical phenomenon that we have not yet understood. The limitations of magic can affect it, but only to a limited extent."

Harry saw Levi reach out and touch his left eye.

"His left eye was completely petrified—he lost all sensation and his magic was restricted. Although he could still exist, his state was like frozen water, unable to perform any actions."

It is foreseeable that once petrification is complete, all the magic within me will be frozen—Joevil, your first task is to try and reactivate it.”

Li Wei was so focused that Harry didn't even dare to disturb him during this tense moment.

He could only open his mouth wide—he desperately wanted to say something—but he couldn't say anything.

He could only watch quietly, imagining his future fate—he didn't even have time to think about why.

Professor Li Wei has even started making arrangements for what will happen to him after he is petrified, so it's quite reasonable for him to make arrangements for himself as well, right?
Joey, you're in charge of researching me after I've been petrified.

Harry, you're in charge of taking down the Basilisk after I'm petrified.

Camille, you're in charge of welcoming the triumphant Harry (just kidding).

Hmm, everything sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
Harry felt his mind had been blown away by this irrational trust.

When Professor Levi's right side began to petrify, Harry inexplicably thought of his cousin Daly's collection of toys—those heroes and superheroes always posed in the coolest way, even when they were "petrified."

If he were brave enough and humorous enough, perhaps he should have said something like, "Hey, professor, hang in there! Raise your arm a little higher; your petrified pose isn't perfect yet."

But Harry felt he was just "nervous enough" so much that he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

If Professor Li Wei hadn't been standing in front of him today, but instead he had faced the basilisk alone, he felt he would have panicked and even closed his eyes and fled in a sorry state, desperately hoping that someone would come to save him.
