Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Upon hearing Bai Lin's words, Zhang Xuan's expression froze for a moment, but then his youthful spirit was ignited, and he waved his hand at Bai Lin, saying, "You don't need to take action, I alone am enough!"

Zhang Xuanyi cultivated on Longhu Mountain for nearly twenty years and was hailed as a genius rarely seen in a century. He was an outstanding master in magic, talismans, and beast taming. In reality, it was his suggestion to the Supreme Council to form a special combat team that led to Yan Nishuang's unexpected appointment. His combat team was named "Yiran," taken from the Taoist "Qingxin Mantra": "My righteousness is awe-inspiring, and all ghosts and demons are terrified."

In the past two months, he had led "Yiran" in several battles against this so-called "International Magic Inspection Bureau," with both sides suffering losses. He was well aware that these blond devils were not weak, and with "monsters" (i.e., underground ogres) leading the charge, he was not confident of taking the enemy general's head single-handedly. However, he harbored deep resentment towards Bai Lin and would certainly not back down in front of him, even showing off his skills.

This resentment stemmed from multiple factors. Bai Lin wasn't from a family of sorcerers, but Zhang Xuanyi belonged to the extremely prestigious Zhengyi sect of Longhu Mountain, a lineage considered one of the two oldest and most prestigious families in the East, alongside the Confucius family of Qufu. Zhang Xuanyi had dedicated twenty years to Taoist cultivation, while Bai Lin was like a dissolute playboy, having even spent several years in England. These two points alone made Zhang Xuanyi ashamed to be associated with him, let alone compare himself to Bai Lin. But if it were only these things, it wouldn't be so bad. Zhang Xuanyi was utterly captivated by Yan Nishuang upon their first meeting, and Bai Lin was Yan Nishuang's fiancé.

Deep down, Zhang Xuanyi looked down on Bai Lin, but his good upbringing allowed him to maintain a polite facade. His original intention was to have Bai Lin test his skills, but Bai Lin's nonchalant attitude infuriated him, so he decided to use absolute strength to break down Bai Lin's psychological defenses.

He leaped forward, landing steadily on a talisman the size of an office desk. He then flew upwards, a jade pen in his hand, swiftly drawing a pattern in the air, and roared, "Heavenly Commander! Zou Wu, heed my command!"

Bai Lin stared wide-eyed in amazement as the ball drawn by Zhang Xuanyi emitted a dazzling five-colored light, like a giant kaleidoscope that had been opened, incredibly beautiful. Then, a giant beast, six meters long, emerged from the "kaleidoscope," shaking its head and wagging its tail, and stood in front of Zhang Xuanyi.

This giant beast resembles a tiger, with colorful tiger stripes on its body, but like a lion, it has a mane that shines brightly, long fangs, and a furry tail that is at least five meters long, making it exceptionally beautiful.

"Holy crap! I've met someone in the same boat!" Bai Lin exclaimed, his mouth agape in disbelief. Since arriving in this magical world, this was the first time he had ever seen another person who could summon magical creatures as beasts. Of course, this didn't include people like Fujiwara Ichiura who used cheat codes to summon shikigami.

The Zouwu is no ordinary magical creature. In ancient Eastern legends, it is known as the Benevolent Beast. Although fierce and powerful, it does not bully the weak or prey on creatures weaker than itself; it only eats dead animals. Moreover, it is extremely fast, capable of traveling a thousand miles in a day. The Zouwu also makes a grand appearance in *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them*, but Rowling's interpretation is more fairytale-like, describing it as a powerful and mischievous big cat. The protagonist, Newt, even plays with the Zouwu using a cat toy.

What Bai Lin saw was even more shocking than in the movie, and he also received information from the system:

Discover the legendary mythical creature: Zouwu, neutral. An extremely rare Eastern mythical beast that has guarded Longhu Mountain for thousands of years. Possesses magical abilities: maximum teleportation, speed LV3, and magic resistance LV5.

It seems that after returning from the fragments of history, the scanning ability of the Summoning Encyclopedia has become stronger. Now it can directly read the target's abilities. The ability to teleport should be Zouwu's ability to open teleportation channels. Speed ​​is naturally the speed of the cannon. However, the magic resistance is what Bai Lin is most concerned about, because the highest level of magic resistance rune he obtained from Old Addison was only LV2, while Zouwu actually has a natural LV5 magic resistance ability. In this magical world, it is practically invulnerable to swords and spears. No wonder Zhang Xuanyi has the right to be proud.

The enemy was still hiding in the darkness in the distance. Zhang Xuanyi and Zouwu rushed forward one after the other. Although Zhang Xuanyi flew and Zouwu ran, Zouwu was extremely agile and faster than the Yaksha clan. No matter if the obstacles in front of it were houses, trees, or boulders, nothing could stop its progress. It was as light as a swallow, as smooth as flowing water, and as if walking on flat ground. It was indeed a divine beast that would be remembered for thousands of years.

Bai Lin didn't just stand there dumbly. He flew into the air and followed closely behind Zhang Xuanyi, while looking around with his eyes, which were filled with chaotic power.

The Songjiang Execution Department is the second largest magic execution department in the East, with hundreds of staff members and two to three thousand sorcerers living in the surrounding area. At this time, it was in complete chaos, with panicked crowds everywhere trying to enter the execution department's magic array protection zone for refuge.

The Execution Department's field personnel have also been mobilized in full force. Some are organizing the crowd, while dozens of others are casting spells to reinforce the Execution Department's protective shield, just like the professors at Hogwarts reinforced the castle. If you were to ask who would dare to go out and challenge the golden-haired devil to a duel, there wouldn't be a single one.

Bai Lin glanced at them from afar and thought to himself, "To be honest, these ordinary execution department mages from wealthy areas are not as powerful as the professors at Hogwarts or Yan Nishuang's team members. At this level, they can only be cannon fodder."

Bai Lin shrugged. The executive department's mobilization authority granted by the Supreme Council was utterly useless in a war... Fortunately, he had already sent messages to Youxi and Qiqi immediately, and they would come to help as soon as possible through special means. However, he still couldn't contact Yan Nishuang, which made Bai Lin very worried. Lulu was still in France, which seemed to be under wartime conditions as well. However, she knew that Bai Lin couldn't leave, so she didn't ask him to go to Europe.

A bright light flashed through the air at an extremely fast speed, leaving no time for anyone to react. Immediately afterward, a huge flame lit up on the defensive array of the execution department, and the booming sound and shockwave shook the entire spatial rift.

"This is... a magic energy cannon?" Bai Lin frowned. The magic energy cannons he had seen were only slightly faster than ancient catapults, but this one was definitely the speed of a smoothbore cannon. He immediately realized that as an enemy with a military-industrial complex as its foundation, not only were conventional weapons developing rapidly, but they would naturally not give up the research on magic energy weapons. And now they had already produced a magic energy cannon that could crush traditional defensive magic arrays.

A bright light flashed again, and Bai Lin was startled once more. A huge explosion slammed into the defensive array again. This time, the array was clearly on the verge of collapse, and half of the mages providing energy within it were knocked to the ground, screaming in agony.
