Spell Training Ground

Reading in Ravenclaw's common room was genuinely comfortable.

Without Madam Pince's strict restrictions, the blue-and-bronze decor further created an atmosphere like reading amid the stars and sea.

A tap on the common room table would bring a house-elf with snacks and fruit, so long as one was careful not to stain the books.

After casting Muffliato, Li Wei picked up the copy of Perfect Potions: From Herb to Potion he had not finished that morning and continued reading, enjoying the peaceful nighttime hours.

"Haah~"

As the night deepened, Li Wei yawned, closed his book, and glanced at the bronze clock in the common room.

The hour hand was nearing ten, while the minute hand had just passed nine.

It was time to sleep.

Li Wei returned the book to the library. Without Hermione beside him to spur each other on in their studies, his efficiency had slowed considerably; he had only memorized six books so far.

When he returned to the dormitory, Anthony and Michael still had not come back. Nami, that little thief cat, had kept Li Wei company while he read and now followed him back to the dormitory.

"Those two unfilial brats have completely cut loose without homework weighing them down!"

Li Wei sounded like a stern father.

As for why those two did not have homework weighing them down, none of your business!

When he opened the Learning MOD, the evaluation for Herbology had already come out.

Just as Li Wei had expected, he had received another Outstanding grade and earned one hundred credits.

There were three Herbology classes every week, which meant Li Wei could reliably earn another three hundred credits a week.

Slipping behind the curtains of his four-poster bed, Li Wei used them to block out any possible green flashes and sounds, then opened the Spell MOD and browsed the Spell Shop, preparing to learn an advanced Dark Magic spell.

"Since I'm pursuing terrifying destructive power, I might as well take it all the way!"

"You're the one! Avada Kedavra!"

Spending one thousand credits, Li Wei chose the most famous of all the advanced Dark Magic spells—the Killing Curse, Avada Kedavra!

In an instant, countless pieces of knowledge about Dark Magic concerning the Killing Curse flooded into Li Wei's mind:

How to swing the wand;

How to chant the incantation;

How to gather killing intent;

How to destroy an enemy's life core;

How to completely strip an enemy's soul from their body and exile it from the mortal world!

Under the protection of Dark Curse Protection, Li Wei was like someone who had chanted "Avada Kedavra" countless times. He could use the Killing Curse without a ripple in his heart and without the slightest side effect.

After opening his wizard panel for a look, Li Wei discovered that his Killing Curse proficiency had reached Lv.1, which counted as beginner mastery.

However, how to practice such a terrifyingly lethal spell afterward gave Li Wei a headache.

With his magical power and current Killing Curse proficiency, the moment he cast Avada Kedavra, the professors would probably sense the intense aura of killing intent and the evil fluctuations of magic.

"So I still have to spend money. One hour costs a hundred credits! That's how much I can only earn from one class. The Spell Training Ground is way too expensive!"

Li Wei could not help complaining, but he still had to spend the money. Otherwise, would he not have bought the Killing Curse for nothing?

He decisively paid one hundred credits and set a scenario especially suited for practicing the Killing Curse.

Immediately afterward, he felt himself fall asleep. When he opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in a special environment.

The sky, the earth, and the lake were crammed full of every kind of life.

Creatures flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water; wizards wielding wands, human soldiers carrying guns, magical creatures, gigantic beasts, insects, fish...

All of them charged at him as though they had gone mad. The armed wizards and soldiers either swung their wands or opened fire, rushing him by every possible means.

Within the Spell Training Ground, he also received an instinctive understanding: here, he could only use the Killing Curse against enemies, but he could maintain a state of infinite life, infinite magic, and infinite killing intent, fighting to his heart's content for one hour.

Besides that, there was a shadow beside him wielding the same wand as his. It would continuously cast Killing Curses one level higher than Li Wei's, serving as someone Li Wei could imitate and learn from while fighting alongside him.

"Then let me bloom to my heart's content in slaughter!"

With a crazed look on his face, Li Wei raised the Elderwood Phoenix Feather Wand in his hand, laughed wildly, and roared:

"Avada Kedavra!"

A blinding green flash erupted from his wand...

One hour later, Li Wei, lying on his dormitory bed, suddenly jolted awake as if from a nightmare. Sweat covered his body as he gasped for breath.

Over the past hour, he had been like a machine gun that could only fire Avada Kedavra, endlessly slaughtering every kind of creature that charged at him!

At the same time, by constantly imitating and learning from the shadow beside him, Li Wei's Killing Curse proficiency soared as if inflated!

By the end, Li Wei had even learned Avada Chain Lightning from that shadow!

With a flick of his wand, chain-lightning-like green bolts of Avada Kedavra pierced through a huge swath of enemies. Like skewering candied hawthorns, it could wipe out an entire crowd in one blow!

But what Li Wei had not expected was that the final enemy in the training ground was actually the Shadow Teacher he had been imitating all along.

The shadow's Killing Curse proficiency was always one level higher than Li Wei's. No matter how high Li Wei climbed, the shadow remained higher still.

Even with the training state's infinite life, infinite magic, and infinite killing intent, Li Wei was like an ant, dying in the shadow's hands an unknown number of times!

He had died so many times that he had gone numb!

After being baptized by the Shadow Teacher, he felt that Grindelwald and even the Dark Lord Voldemort were as adorable as little girls before the Shadow Teacher!

Had they ever seen an Avada Kedavra like a laser cannon?

Had they ever experienced an Avada Kedavra that bloomed like a flower and cleared the entire field in an instant?

Had any of them truly felt the terrifying attack that made green light burst from all over the body and, in a moment, flooded the entire space with the glow of Avada Kedavra?!

Li Wei was completely convinced!

He had no idea to what realm the system-created Shadow Teacher had cultivated Avada Kedavra.

But even with his Killing Curse at Lv.8, Li Wei was as weak as a newborn child before the shadow!

Now, he no longer had much fear of Voldemort. In his heart, only the system-created Shadow Teacher was a true powerhouse!

If Li Wei had to evaluate the system's Spell Training Ground, he could only say:

Those hundred credits were money well spent!
