Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Chapter 108 Myself in the Shadows

Yukikaze and the octopus-faced bishop were locked in a fierce struggle, but no matter how hard Yukikaze bit, she couldn't harm him in the slightest.

The octopus-faced bishop's body and tentacles looked like they were sculpted from clay. When he bit down, his teeth went straight in, but no matter how much he tore, he couldn't tear off any of his body tissue. And as soon as he let go, the bitten area immediately returned to its original state.

Bai Lin, however, drew his Jade-Handled Dragon Sword (the sword was certified by the system and could be added to the encyclopedia, so it was not confiscated), aimed at a tentacle that had fallen to the ground, and slashed it with all his might, successfully cutting the tentacle in two.

The octopus-faced bishop let out an extremely sharp scream, a sound comparable to that of a mandrake, causing Bai Lin and Xue Feng to experience severe ear pain and see stars. Xue Feng was thrown aside and landed next to Bai Lin.

"How dare you injure the noble shepherd... Confront the darkness within your own heart!" the octopus-faced bishop screamed.

Bai Lin suddenly felt a momentary lapse in consciousness, and everything around him, except for Xue Feng, who was clutching the wolf fur in his hand, vanished.

They stood on a platform built of obsidian. There was no sun, moon, or starlight in the sky, but Bai Lin could see things within a hundred or two meters as if it were daytime. But beyond that, there was only deep darkness, mysterious and terrifying.

Two dark figures emerged from the ground dozens of meters in front of him, gradually forming the shape of a human and a beast. Bai Lin looked closely and found that they looked very much like his and Xue Feng's shadows, but the two shadows actually started to move on their own.

Upon closer inspection, the two shadows were somewhat different from the others. Xuefeng's shadow was that of a half-human, half-wolf creature with jet-black fur and incredibly fierce eyes.

Bai Lin then remembered that Xue Feng was a summoned beast obtained by sealing the werewolf. Its original name was White Werewolf, but because it always took the form of a giant wolf and was often used as a mount by Bai Lin, Bai Lin had almost forgotten that the werewolf also had a human form.

That means Yukikaze was once human, and the black werewolf in front of us may be Yukikaze's original form, while the giant wolf image is the result of being "corrected" by the Summoning Encyclopedia.

Looking at his own shadow again, with black hair and wearing a black training uniform, it was clearly his appearance when he was training at his grandfather's boxing gym before he transmigrated. A memory that he never wanted to recall surfaced in Bai Lin's mind.

A few years ago, Bai Lin was a high school student who excelled in both character and academics and ranked among the top students. However, his best friend Xue Lin was always chasing after him and they were constantly competing for first or second place in the school rankings.

Xuelin also fought Bailin's grandfather at his boxing gym to a standstill. The elders happily called them a golden couple, and the teachers believed that they might become the top two scorers in the local college entrance examination and get into the best university together.

However, Bai Lin has always disliked Xue Lin's "aggressive" attitude, which forces him to never relax. If he misses a detail during the exam or loses focus even slightly during practice, he will be defeated by Xue Lin.

Two weeks before the college entrance examination, the school let the students go home to study on their own. Bai Lin was bored at home doing practice questions when Xue Lin invited him to go out for a walk. Although she said it was to relax, Xue Lin took him to the martial arts hall in the city and wanted to have a good fight with him.

Bai Lin reluctantly agreed, and the two exchanged blows, neither gaining the upper hand. Suddenly, Bai Lin had an inspiration and came up with a strange move. He struck instantly, and Xue Lin was knocked back. Bai Lin pressed his advantage, grabbed Xue Lin's arm, and used a locking technique on her.

In general, during a duel, if one person locks another, the other will naturally try their best to unlock them. The latest update is now online and awaits your interpretation. After a stalemate, the person who is locked, exhausted and still unable to unlock, will slap the ground in surrender, and the person who locked them will then release their grip.

But for some reason, Bai Lin suddenly had an idea: he wanted to completely defeat Xue Lin and prevent her from ever fighting back. Xue Lin, for some reason, didn't use her strength to unlock the weapon and instead let Bai Lin twist her arm.

In the end, Xue Lin suffered a comminuted fracture of her arm, preventing her from taking the college entrance examination. Bai Lin completely defeated her.

The day before the college entrance examination, Xuelin climbed over the wall of the hospital, but was hit by a drunk truck and ended her 17-year-old life.

Upon learning of Xue Lin's death, Bai Lin also underperformed in his college entrance exams, only getting into an ordinary university. The legend of the golden couple thus came to an end.

Not long after, Xue Lin's parents handed over some of her belongings to Bai Lin. Only then did Bai Lin realize that Xue Lin had always loved him and only wanted to be with him forever, which was why she studied and practiced boxing so hard. Perhaps Xue Lin originally wanted to confess her feelings to Bai Lin during that match when the two of them were most intimately locked together.

Everyone thought the fracture was an accident, and the drunk driver was imprisoned, but only Bai Lin knew in his heart that he did it on purpose... He was the one who killed Xue Lin, who had always loved him.

It was for this reason that when Catherine proposed breaking up, Bai Lin, though in great pain, resolutely agreed, realizing that he might kill the second girl who loved him.

Years later, Bai Lin had sealed that memory deep in his heart, never daring to recall it. But at this moment, the shadow opposite him was wearing the training clothes he and Xue Lin wore during their last competition. Instantly, memories of being with Xue Lin flooded into Bai Lin's heart. Bai Lin felt his vision blur and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

The two giant wolves didn't need any warning; they were already pouncing on each other. Shadow White Scale sneered, "What's the use of crying now? Why weren't you hit by a train?!"

As he spoke, Shadow stepped forward and punched Bai Lin hard in the stomach. Bai Lin felt like he was about to vomit. Immediately afterward, Shadow delivered a powerful elbow strike to Bai Lin's chest, and Bai Lin heard the sound of his ribs breaking. He involuntarily fell backward and crashed to the ground.

Bai Lin had no fighting spirit. The shadow's fist not only brought him extreme pain, but he even felt pleasure in the pain. Perhaps he was never a good person to begin with, perhaps only the shadow's fist could give him the punishment he deserved, perhaps only by being beaten to death by the shadow could he atone for his sins.

The shadow rushed forward and stomped on Bai Lin's face. Bai Lin felt his nose bridge break, and blood rushed into his lungs through his trachea, causing him to choke in pain.

"Hahahaha! Drown in your own blood! This is the end you deserve!" the shadow shouted.

But from who knows where the power came from, Bai Lin, who had almost given up resistance and was willing to die, was suddenly filled with a familiar power. He felt as if someone had controlled his body, and he grabbed the shadow's calf. His lower body sprang up and wrapped around the shadow's body. With a flip, he threw the shadow to the ground.

The once arrogant and domineering Shadow was suddenly pinned to the ground by Bai Lin. Bai Lin, suppressing the choking blood in his throat, grabbed Shadow's arm and locked him in place.

At this moment, Bai Lin looked up at the dark sky, where a faint light formed the shape of a black cat. But then, the black cat's face turned into a familiar face, seemingly Xue Lin from back then, smiling at him.

It seemed to be telling him: Be strong! Live well for my sake...
