Hogwarts Summoning Guide

The informal group meeting lasted for two hours. Hiroyuki Edogawa spoke clearly and logically, and Bai Lin agreed with most of his points, especially his suggestions on his fighting style. He urgently needed to develop an indestructible "spear" that could fight against any powerful enemy and be used quickly to defeat them in a few moves.

The suggestion for "peripheral expansion" is to establish an intelligence network. Currently, whether it is Bai Lin's team, Yan Nishuang's combat group (named Qingluan), or even the entire Eastern Executive Department, they still have some sources of information around the East. However, from a global perspective, they are practically deaf and blind. Much information has to be disclosed by media in other countries, which is clearly no longer sufficient to meet the challenges of the upcoming new century.

In this regard, Yan Nishuang could obtain material resources, and Lulu also offered to share the Ross family's intelligence network. However, Bai Lin was not satisfied. The Ross family's influence was concentrated in Europe, with a small amount in North America, and it was too far removed from East Asia. Building a new intelligence network was not something that could be done overnight, and rash action might even alert the enemy and be used against them.

Finally, Lulu gave a very good suggestion. She recommended someone... or rather, a fairy, namely Bai Lin's old friend, Patrice, who lost his underwear at the zoo.

The Patrice family and the Ross family are old friends. The fairies have an information network completely different from human society, which has even infiltrated various parts of East Asia. The Ross family also occasionally buys intelligence from them.

Poor Patrice has had a tough six months due to the heavy losses at the Beast Arena, and he certainly won't miss this opportunity to make money. Of course, Bai Lin doesn't expect to recruit Patrice as one of his own; he'll be content with simply buying reliable intelligence.

On the other hand, after learning that Bai Lin's power came from his faction, Edogawa Hiroyuki became quite excited. He suggested that all members of the team should clarify their own faction and use faction orbs to obtain the help of soul mentors, thereby improving their strength.

If Old Ross were in charge, he certainly wouldn't allow outsiders to obtain the Seekers' family's source of power. But now Lulu has the final say. If Yuxi, Kiki, Hagrid, and Edogawa Hiroyuki all obtain the faction's power, then the entire team's combat strength will experience a qualitative leap.

That being said, entering the Soul Orb still carries some risks, and Bai Lin was somewhat hesitant. However, the team members were eager to try. Compared to Lulu and Catherine's power of order and Bai Lin's chaotic elemental energy, any magic was utterly weak. In order to face the even more dangerous battles to come, this little risk was insignificant.

In the end, the topic circled back to Bai Lin, who had to think about how to improve his strength. After spending this period of time together, his body and mind had adapted to the disordered elemental energy, but he could only use it to dismantle his opponent's magic. This was like Bai Lin learning to use fire, but only being able to set his own hand on fire to burn others. Not only was it inefficient, but it also looked very silly. The only person he could turn to for help was Night Master Ye Kong.

Night Sky, who had already settled in the Elemental Tower, seemed unsurprised to see Bai Lin arrive. His half-human, half-skeletal face wore an unusually strange smile as he said in a somewhat fawning tone, "What's wrong? It's only been a few days, and you're already dissatisfied with this power?"

Bai Lin was a little embarrassed, after all, he only managed to open the weak point of accessing disordered elemental energy with the help of three chaotic faction mentors. Ye Kong once said that there were only five humans throughout history who had obtained this miracle, and the other four were all great mages who were famous throughout the world at that time (of course, he did not say what their fate was...).

Bai Lin gritted his teeth and said, "I possess the power of chaos, but I lack the corresponding techniques. I want to become stronger!"

The night sky floated in mid-air, circled around Bai Lin, and with its withered skeletal hand, it brushed past him. The purple disordered elemental energy was stirred by the fingers, emitting pale purple sparks.

"Chaos doesn't refuse anyone's exploration, but I won't make any promises. Two months, I suppose. If you survive, you should become much stronger..." Ye Kong said with interest. His words seemed to be full of profound meaning. The power of chaos is not like the Yi Jin Jing of Shaolin Temple, which only brings benefits and no harm. On the contrary, Bai Lin is like dealing with a tiger for its skin; if he is not careful, he may be swallowed up by the power of chaos.

In that instant, Bai Lin thought of the silent storm that swept through the land, the boy who was turned into a demon by Fujiwara's attack, and the curse. If they traced their origins, these evil forces clearly came from the power of chaos. But Bai Lin had no choice. He shook his head and agreed to two months of closed-door training.

"However... before that, there's a small matter I need to take care of..." Bai Lin said, taking out the black jade gourd that held Shuten-dōji. "I wonder if Teacher Yozora has any way to deal with this kind of Japanese monster. I need to get some information from him."

"However... before that, there's a small matter I need to take care of..." Bai Lin said, taking out the black jade gourd that held Shuten-dōji. "I wonder if Teacher Yozora has any way to deal with this kind of Japanese monster. I need to get some information from him."

"Ah! Interesting! Interesting!" Ye Kong flicked his fingers, and the black jade gourd flew into his hand. "This job is Jin Xiao's (a chaotic neutral soul master) favorite, but my skills aren't bad either. Give me some time, and you'll get a good servant..."

Looking at the excited expression on the night sky, Bai Lin felt a chill. He wondered if the Shuten-dōji inside the gourd knew that his future fate was no longer related to his experiences over the past thousand years...

With everything arranged, Ye Kong opened a sinister portal. Just looking at its twisted and disgusting appearance made Bai Lin feel nauseous. He couldn't help but think of the portal to the Order and Good faction that he had seen in the Temple of Dawn—so magnificent, exquisite, and resplendent. It was truly a case of comparing oneself to others and feeling utterly worthless.

Gritting his teeth, Bai Lin clenched his fists and plunged inside. Ye Kong chuckled and followed him in. The elemental tower remained surrounded by various magical elements, occasionally emitting red, blue, yellow, and green light, as if nothing had happened.

On the other side, although Hiroyuki Edogawa suggested that all members seek the power of the faction, Yan Nishuang had her own choice. After being teleported out of the habitat, she first went to the Qingluan team's base to inspect the team that Zhao Yu had recruited.

The executive department was surprised that she hadn't used a single mage, but instead had created a "magic-breaking special forces unit," yet they still provided them with the best resources. In just two weeks, Zhao Yu had recruited 88 people, all of whom were veterans handpicked from hundreds, with unparalleled individual combat capabilities. They were just waiting for the first batch of modified firearms to be delivered, and soon they would be able to form a combat force.

After dealing with some trivial matters with the team, Yan Nishuang boarded a plane to the Northwest alone. She sat quietly by the bed, looking at the blue sky and clouds outside the plane window, her eyes, now fully healed, radiating an unusually firm and resolute light.
