Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Bai Lin didn't know if the passage of time in this space was consistent with the time in the historical echoes where Catherine and Yan Nishuang were, but looking at Grakua's calm and unhurried appearance, he knew even with a fool's eyes that the other party was probably stalling for time. In other words, the longer the time wasted, the more advantageous it would be for Grakua.

Bai Lin's questions weren't in vain. On one hand, he did have many questions, and apart from Grakua, he couldn't think of anyone else who could answer them. On the other hand, he was also using the few seconds he had to get used to his body in this space.

Although it sounds strange, Bai Lin truly felt that he was no longer in a soul state where his primordial spirit had left his body, but in a physical state with flesh and blood. However, this physical body had a heartbeat and pulse, and could breathe in this strange seawater, but had completely lost its magical power, the power of chaos and order, and the ability to summon magical creatures. In other words, he seemed to have returned to the state of an ordinary person a few years ago.

It was as if this space had reshaped his body, or rather, created a temporary shell that conformed to the rules of this space, much like he had entered a new online game and created a new account. This must be a rule specially formulated by the gods for the ancient city of R'lyeh. Any creature that enters from other dimensions, whether human or a minion of the Old Gods, will automatically receive a "new account." This "new account" can only act within the power system rules of this space, thus eliminating the possibility of the seal on the ancient city of R'lyeh being broken.

However, Bai Lin's memories, combat experience, understanding of power, and so on were brought into his mind along with his primordial spirit. After adapting to this "new account," he was confident that he could fight Grakua.

Bai Lin's movements weren't particularly fast; among humans, they would only be considered at an athlete's level. However, they still greatly shocked Grakua.

In Gracoa's understanding of humanity, without extraordinary power, humans usually have a natural fear when facing creatures like themselves. Although the "new account" he obtained here lost the ability to materialize spiritual power, Grindelwald, who was restored to his best physical condition by the power of the ancient gods, had all his muscles and bones at the best level that humans could possess. His strength and nerve reactions far exceeded those of ordinary people, and he could be regarded as a "perfect" human. In addition, with more than ten tentacles on his head, even without extraordinary power, he was an overwhelming existence in front of ordinary people. He really did not expect Bai Lin to take the initiative to challenge him.

Graccia had a certain "cherishing talent" attitude towards Bai Lin. If Huang Yin could be parasitized into Bai Lin's head, Graccia would not only immediately gain a powerful subordinate with the strength of a demigod, but he could also obtain the "secret of the new god" or at least some legendary creations of the new god.

Therefore, Grakua planned to let Bai Lin's companions exhaust their SAN value in the echoes of history, and then let Bai Lin witness them become monsters swallowed by the power of the ancient gods. The shock of that would surely break through Bai Lin's soul defenses.

Just as he was making his plans, Bai Lin's fist was already upon him in an instant.

Grakua flipped backward, gracefully leaping off the heavy wooden chair and retreating to the open space on the small platform, not forgetting to wave provocatively at Bai Lin.

Bai Lin moved his wrists and ankles, watching as the six large tentacles on Grakua's head visibly grew longer, his head shrank, and the muscles on his chest and arms bulged high, giving him a general assessment of Grakua's physical condition.

He took a step forward, adopting a close-quarters striking stance.

In contrast, Gracua also put aside his disdain for Bai Lin in his ordinary human form and adopted a fighting stance. Grindelwald was also proficient in fighting techniques when he was young.

The two quickly clashed. Bai Lin immediately launched a powerful punch followed by a short kick, while Grakua, relying on his strong muscles, intended to withstand Bai Lin's punches head-on and then use a strangulation technique to suppress Bai Lin with his absolute strength advantage. In his view, as long as Bai Lin was held in his arms, the combined strength of his tentacles could instantly lock Bai Lin's limbs, rendering him unable to move or even causing him to break his bones.

However, Bai Lin's punch was just a feint. He suddenly lowered his body and kicked out with all his might, striking Grakua hard in a vulnerable spot.

With a "crack," that was the sound of an egg breaking.

Grakua felt a sharp pain surge up his cerebral cortex, a pain that even shattered his control over all his muscles. His hands, which he had used to crush Bai Lin's arms, suddenly went limp and powerless.

Gracua was not without suffering. When he passed through the protective shield that the new gods had built for Earth, he practically swam through the lava of hell. More than 90% of his original body tissue was burned during the fall. This process could be described as being torn to pieces. However, as a master of mental power, he was able to use mental magic to protect his core and block the stimulation of pain on his brain, which was equivalent to temporarily disabling his nervous system, thus allowing him to overcome the ordeal.

But things are different now. Now he has a human body. Although some parts of his body are not of much use to him, the pain of being shattered feels no different from that of an ordinary human.

Bai Lin watched as Grakua bent over in pain, but he didn't stop. He knew this was a golden opportunity. He never dreamed that Grakua could "compete fairly" with him at the level of an ordinary person. Coincidentally, the ancient martial arts he had learned contained many moves such as groin kicks, eye gouging, and throat locks, which would be perfect for Grakua, this alien, to see.

Bai Lin quickly emerged from Grakua's "embrace," his hands now wielding the Twelve Forms of Xingyi Quan, specifically targeting Grakua's joints and ribs. Since the opponent had also become an ordinary person, his "acupoints" were naturally also targeted, and he instantly delivered more than ten heavy blows to Grakua.

Grakua screamed as Bai Lin kicked him hard in the back of the knee, causing him to stumble. His outstretched tentacles, however, convulsed from the pain and failed to wrap around Bai Lin's neck.

"Dislocating Tentacles and Bones!" Bai Lin grabbed the tentacle that had missed its target, and with his other hand, he grabbed Grakua's right thumb, pulling the tentacle over and wrapping it around the finger. Using the force of the tentacle's retraction, he directly broke half of Grakua's metacarpal bone.

After succeeding, he suddenly jumped back two steps to dodge the attacks of the other tentacles, and then leaped behind Gracuya with a roar, delivering a powerful elbow strike to Gracuya's back.

"So ugly, yet your fighting skills are like a kindergarten kid's..." Bai Lin muttered as he used Grakua's tentacles to strangle the other's neck...
