A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 461 Enhancing Magic

“Unusual,” Huang Mengting’s face darkened, and she asked, “When can we leave the magic academy? I miss Qianqian and the others.”

The mere mention of Tang Qianqian and the others stirred an unspeakable pang of longing within Chao Bufan. Even Lin Xiaomin and Bailing wore expressions of quiet contemplation. As for He Yifei, having had little contact with Tang Qianqian and the others, her expression remained unchanged.

"Heh~" Chao Bufan gave a bitter laugh and said in a low voice, "How could I not miss them? I also want to leave here as soon as possible, but—we can't leave yet."

"Why?" Lin Xiaomin asked.

"Sigh~" Chao Bufan sighed softly and said, "The Black Magic Academy is very likely to attack our Magic Academy in the next two days, and as a student of the Magic Academy, I cannot sit idly by."

"Huh?" The four girls were startled. Huang Mengting asked, "The Dark Magic Academy is going to attack our Magic Academy? Is it true or not?"

“It’s true,” Chao Bufan said with a smile.

"Then why haven't we heard the academy mention this?" Lin Xiaomin asked.

"The academy didn't tell you because they were afraid you'd worry and it would affect your studies," Chao Bufan said. "I only found out these past few days. A lot of vampire bats and man-eating ants have infiltrated the Black Magic Academy, but I and a few others, including Bridal, have dealt with them all. We even killed a witch dragon."

"Dragon?" The four women were all startled. Just hearing the word "dragon" surprised them greatly. Although none of them had ever seen one, everyone present was familiar with the word "dragon." Huang Mengting and Lin Xiaomin knew that as descendants of Yan and Huang, they were the descendants of the dragon. As for Bailing and He Yifei, although they did not have the concept of "descendants of the dragon" and had never seen what a so-called "dragon" looked like, they believed that divine dragons existed in ancient times.

"Extraordinary, do dragons really exist in this world?" Huang Mengting asked in surprise.

"I don't know," Chao Bufan himself wasn't sure if dragons truly existed in this world. The Earth Dragon, though called a "dragon," was actually a jiaolong (a type of dragon-like creature), and not even a true jiaolong, but rather a creature somewhere between a jiao and a dragon, not yet fully evolved. It was a far cry from a true dragon; otherwise, with its strength, why would it fear him? The Witch Dragon, while also called a "dragon," seemed more like the skeleton of some kind of giant python to Chao Bufan. Otherwise, with his current level of cultivation, even a skeleton wouldn't be enough to give it a run for its money. He pondered for a moment, then continued, "That's just a skeleton, given new life through magic by someone else. I don't think it's a real dragon; otherwise, it wouldn't be standing here talking to you."

“I knew it!” Huang Mengting relaxed her eyebrows and said, “There’s no such thing as a dragon in the world.”

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said with a serious expression, "It's possible that it really exists, it's just that we ordinary mortals have never seen it!"

"No way?" Lin Xiaomin exclaimed in surprise, "Do dragons really exist in the world?"

Bai Ling said, "I believe that dragons did exist in ancient times."

He Yifei also said, "I believe it too. There are records about the dragon in our He family's ancestral home."

“We’ve heard quite a few stories about ‘dragon legends,’ but we’ve never thought about them this much. We thought legends were just legends, things that came out of thin air,” Huang Mengting said.

“Mengting, Xiaomin, don’t forget,” Chao Bufan said, “to others, you are also legends. Some things don’t just come out of thin air. Without factual basis, how can there be such rumors?”

“That makes sense.” The two women nodded in agreement.

“Bufan, you just said that the Dark Magic Academy is going to attack our Magic Academy. Wouldn’t that make your match tomorrow very dangerous?” He Yifei said.

“There is danger,” Chao Bufan said calmly, “but you don’t need to worry. As I said, in this world, apart from that person called evil, the person who wants my life probably hasn’t been born yet!”

"But you still have to be careful!" Bailing whispered, it would be a lie to say she wasn't worried, after all, he was her man, and everything he did was for her and his sisters.

Chao Bufan gave them a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry! I know. By the way, if the people from the Black Magic Academy really attack, you must remember to protect yourselves, especially Yifei and Bailing. Your cultivation levels are higher than Mengting and Xiaomin's, so while you protect yourselves, you must also protect them. If they really have to fight, don't hold back. Remember what I told you—those who block my way—kill without mercy!"

“Yes, we know,” He Yifei and Bailing nodded in response.

Chao Bufan pondered for a moment, then said, "I'm still worried about you. Here's what I'll do: I'll teach you a few spells. However, before I teach you any spells, you must completely forget the spells you've already learned."

"Why are you surprised?" Huang Mengting asked, puzzled.

Chao Bufan smiled and said, "There's a reason why I'm having you do this. Just do as I say. Don't worry, once you understand the magic I'm teaching you, you'll know why. Also, after you learn these magic spells, the magic you learned before will naturally return to you."

Huang Mengting said "Oh," and they all knew in their hearts that what Chao Bufan taught them must be good stuff, so they didn't say anything more and closed their eyes to forget everything they had learned at the magic academy in the past month.

"Have you forgotten everything?" Chao Bufan asked.

"Yes, we've all forgotten," the four women replied in unison.

“Alright,” Chao Bufan said, “close your eyes, and I will now teach you these exceptionally powerful spells.”

Upon hearing this, the four women obediently closed their eyes—

This time, Chao Bufan didn't just "flick his fingers," but instead directly placed his hands on Bai Ling and Huang Mengting's foreheads. A moment later, he did the same to He Yifei and Lin Xiaomin's foreheads.

"Extraordinary, these spells—"

Bai Ling exclaimed in surprise, but before she could finish speaking, Chao Bufan interrupted her, saying, "These spells were forced into your minds by me. You must never, ever tell anyone in the academy."
