Chapter 269: Magic and Daoist Techniques (Third Update)
Chapter 269: Magic and Daoist Techniques (Third Update)
"It's you!"
Seeing Sakura holding the Sealing Magic Staff, Xiao Lang Li's brow furrowed instantly.
Two months ago, Logan in the treasure house suddenly showed unusual activity. He learned from the elder that the strongest magical artifact left by Clow Reed, the Magic Cards, had appeared.
As the most talented Daoist of the Li family in this generation, Xiao Lang Li had always idolized Clow Reed, who was renowned as the world's strongest practitioner of both Eastern and Western magical arts, capable of integrating both.
Upon learning that the strongest Magic Cards had appeared, he discussed with his mother, Ye Lan Li, and then brought Logan, who could locate the Clow Cards, along with the necessary magical tools and talismans, to Tomodachi Town.
Clow Reed was of mixed Chinese and British heritage, with a father who was the eldest son of a famous British magical family and a mother who was the direct descendant of the most renowned Daoist family in China, the Li family.
Therefore, as a descendant of the Li family, Xiao Lang Li also possessed Clow Reed's bloodline, making him capable of subduing the Clow Cards.
However, on his first day at the new school, he encountered the new owner of the Clow Cards, Sakura. Despite her lack of knowledge, she was chosen by the Seal Beast Kerberos as the Magic wielder, which naturally made him feel extremely unfair. Thus, he decided to compete with Sakura for the Clow Cards.
"The Thunder Beast isn't easy to handle. You're so weak; I advise you to step aside and avoid getting hurt!"
Xiao Lang Li lifted his chin and tossed a remark to Sakura before turning to Jerry:
"Who are you?"
The opponent had just reduced the Thunder Beast to its original form with a single Thunderball Spell, clearly demonstrating strong magical power.
"I am—"
Jerry was about to speak when the Thunder Beast, which had been reduced to its original form, suddenly became agitated.
Seeing that its lightning couldn't break through Jerry's shield, it immediately turned its head and pounced on Xiao Lang Li.
"Be careful!"
Sakura, noticing the situation, quickly warned him.
Although Xiao Lang Li's attitude towards Sakura was extremely poor, making her very angry, she still immediately called out in warning when she saw Xiao Lang Li in danger, driven by her kind nature.
"It's fine; he's not weak at all!"
Jerry smiled but did not offer any help.
Xiao Lang Li, the genius of the Li family, was no beginner like Sakura, who had just started learning Magic. He had practiced Daoist techniques from a young age and was proficient in the Five Elements Daoist arts. At just ten years old, his strength already surpassed most of the adult Daoists in the Li family.
If he weren't sufficiently powerful, the Li family wouldn't have trusted him to collect the Clow Cards in Japan alone.
Sure enough, when Xiao Lang Li saw the Thunder Beast pounce at him, he remained calm. He drew his Fasword and held it in front of his chest, chanting:
"Invoke the Wind, Haste as Commanded!"
The Fasword swung forward, and a blue blade of wind elements shot out, striking the Thunder Beast with precision and sending it flying backward.
"So that's how it is; there is indeed a connection!"
Watching Xiao Lang Li use the wind-based Daoist technique, Jerry gained some insight.
He knew that the reason he hadn't fully mastered the "Wind" card was due to a lack of understanding of the Five Elements Daoist arts.
In Jerry's view, Magic and Daoist techniques in this world were essentially means of utilizing the world's rules to achieve specific goals. The methods of utilizing these rules simply had their own advantages and differences.
Western Magic required a wand, while Eastern Daoist techniques required a Fasword. Both Magic and Daoist techniques involved incantations.
Clow Reed was so powerful not only because of his exceptional talent but also because, as a mixed heritage individual, he had the best learning conditions, accessing the most powerful Western Magic and Eastern Daoist techniques. By combining the strengths of both, he created the powerful Clow Cards.
Therefore, to fully understand all the Clow Cards, Jerry needed to familiarize himself with Eastern Daoist techniques.
Originally, he had planned to visit China in person when he had the time, but now it seemed that might not be necessary for the moment.
"Invoke the Fire Deity, Haste as Commanded!"
Seeing the Thunder Beast roar and charge at him again after being blasted away by his Daoist spell, Xiao Lang Li used another fire spell.
However, even though the Thunder Beast was currently unowned, it was still an extremely aggressive and powerful high-level card. Xiao Lang Li's fire spells could only knock it back but not trap or injure it.
"Invoke the Water Dragon, Haste as Commanded!"
When the fire spells failed, Xiao Lang Li tried a water spell, but it was equally ineffective.
Clow Reed's Clow Cards could only be subdued by using a card of a counter-element or by overpowering them with significantly greater force.
Xiao Lang Li, though a genius Daoist, had no Clow Cards to assist him. Relying solely on his elemental spells was a struggle.
Still, he was much stronger than Sakura. Without the Clow Cards, Sakura was just an ordinary elementary school student.
Well, not entirely ordinary anymore. She had learned some practical Household Magic from the Magic book left by Jerry.
"Hmph, underestimating me! Flame Command, Invoke the Fire Deity!"
Seeing that his elemental spells couldn't subdue the Thunder Beast, Xiao Lang Li quickly pulled out a golden talisman from his Daoist robe, tossed it into the air, and pointed at it with his Fasword.
Instantly, flames nearly twice as powerful as before burst from the talisman and wrapped around the Thunder Beast.
This time, the Thunder Beast struggled but eventually found itself overwhelmed. After a while, it managed to break free from the flames but, realizing it had no chance of winning, stopped attacking Xiao Lang Li and flew away into the sky.
"Don't run!"
Seeing the Thunder Beast escape, Xiao Lang Li panicked.
Unfortunately, he was skilled in elemental spells but not in flight spells.
"Phantom Shift!"
At this moment, Jerry finally stopped watching and teleported into the air, spreading his large white wings. He cast a Dragonfire Spell at the approaching Thunder Beast.
Ten massive Fire Dragons appeared and, under Jerry's control, blocked all of the Thunder Beast's escape routes. They then surrounded and attacked it relentlessly.
If it had been just one Fire Dragon, the Thunder Beast might have stood a chance, but it was facing ten.
It couldn't defend its head and its tail, its left and its right. In no time, it was thoroughly beaten and left to the mercy of the Fire Dragons, who wrapped it up and delivered it to Sakura.
If the Thunder Beast could speak, it would have cursed Jerry for not fighting honorably.
"Sakura, seal it!"
"Okay!"
Realizing what to do, Sakura immediately used her wand to transform the Thunder Beast into a Clow Card.
"Who is this person? So strong!"
Watching Jerry first teleport into the air using a technique similar to an already lost small teleportation spell and then defeat the Thunder Beast with a much more powerful fire spell, Xiao Lang Li felt a heavy sense of respect.
"You guys are good this time!"
Seeing Sakura obtain the Clow Card, Xiao Lang Li decided not to stay any longer and turned to leave.
But just as he turned, he heard a clear Mandarin voice behind him:
"Daoist friend, please stay a moment!"
