After entering the Potions classroom, John didn't spend much time digging out a large number of old textbooks and old scales from the storage cabinet in the corner.

Then John looked through and inspected these things carefully, and soon, a copy of "Advanced Potion Making" written by Libasius Pollachi was held in John's hands.

It is different from ordinary old books.

There is a row of words written in a small, dense handwriting on the bottom of the back cover of this book:

This book belongs to the Half-Blood Prince.

The corners of John's mouth raised uncontrollably.

Snape is the Half-Blood Prince!

John has known this from early on.

Because it was introduced in many short videos he had watched in the past.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to find this special "Advanced Potion Making" so easily.

In addition, John also knew very well that this "Advanced Potion Making" was also filled with Snape's notes from his past school days.

Most of them contain his unique insights into potion making. Although they are contrary to the original content in the textbook, they are more effective.

This part of the content is actually of little value to John.

John is now actually Snape's personal disciple.

His techniques and knowledge in potion making all came from Snape's careful education, and he has always followed Snape's pioneering route.

But Snape also recorded two of his original magics in this book.

[Upside Down Golden Bell] and [Shen Feng Wu Ying]!

Needless to say more about [The Upside Down Golden Bell].

And [Shen Feng Wu Ying] is a reversible black magic with a counter-spell.

It is a curse, so the damage caused by it cannot be regenerated by any means other than counterspells.

Last year, Snape used this magic to subdue the out-of-control John.

And that demonstration also allowed John to clearly see the powerful characteristics of this magic.

For example, it has super cutting ability and does not show any obvious signs when activated. It is very hidden and vicious, which is similar to the [Upside Down Golden Bell].

John has been coveting this spell for a long time.

What he had thought before was to use as gentle a method as possible to get this curse from Snape.

In this way, he could use this spell openly without worrying about hurting Snape's relationship with him and asking Snape to put on his shoes.

But now, after knowing the truth about the mysterious guest, John can no longer wait that long.

He must use the fastest means to maximize his strength.

For this he is willing to pay the price!

After carefully reading all the content about [Shen Feng Wu Ying] in the book, John closed the book and pointed the wand at a beaker on the podium.

"call--"

John took a deep breath, began to use the magic power in the second magic pool, and adjusted his emotions.

Finally, he waved the wand hard.

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

"Click——"

A fine line emerged from the surface of the glass beaker.

Starting from that fine line, the entire beaker has actually been cut in half, and the cut surface is extremely smooth without any burrs.

To be honest, this power is actually not as powerful as John's [Split Apart].

But this is John's first time trying to use [Shen Feng Wu Ying].

During the entire spell-casting process, John could clearly feel that he wasted a lot of magic power, and there were also some mistakes in the swinging movement of the wand and the chanting of the spell.

Having made so many mistakes, it would be difficult for ordinary magic spells to be effective even if they were blessed with the super obedient magic power in John's second magic pool.

But [Shen Feng Wu Ying] was still successfully cast and completed John's goal of 'cutting the beaker'.

This is enough to prove that [Shen Feng Wu Ying], in addition to being very concealed and suitable for sneak attacks like [Upside Down Golden Bell], also inherits [Upside Down Golden Bell]'s characteristics of low learning difficulty and extremely high stability.

John believes that he just needs to practice it more.

All errors and omissions in the casting process will be corrected, and the magic output will be increased appropriately.

Then the power of [Shen Feng Wu Ying] will far exceed that of [Split into Four Pieces]!

This is the most suitable curse in my mind to replace the [Body to Shatter] curse and become his main daily attack method at this stage!

Nodding, John put the "Advanced Potion Making" into his transforming lizard skin wallet with satisfaction.

Then, he adjusted his mood and walked into Snape's office.

In addition to getting the [Shadowless Blade] when he came here today, he also wanted to ask Snape for advice on another magic spell.

However, when John opened the door, he discovered that Snape was not there.

The person occupying the office right now is another person—Alice.

The girl was lying on the recliner where Snape used to rest, her expression and movements extremely lazy.

Not far from her, there was a large bucket of toads.

A strange-looking alchemy machine was squatting next to the barrel. With the slight swing of Alice's wand, one after another the toads were sucked into the machine, where their blood was drawn, skinned, flesh shaved, bones broken, and finally packaged in different containers.

.

With just one look, John understood what was going on.

Alice is enjoying her confinement.

Snape always liked handling toads as punishment.

This job is indeed very disgusting.

But it's obvious that Alice cheated.

At this time, Alice has also discovered John.

She had no intention of getting up, so she continued to lie on the recliner, silently looking at John with that lazy look.

John showed no sign of weakness either.

He walked into the office without saying a word, sat down at the workbench, and stared at Alice.

His eyes gradually slid down along the curves of her body, stopping for a moment on the long legs wearing stockings and slightly curled up, and then jumped back to her delicate face.

John did not hide his gaze at all.

He believed that any normal girl would blush when he stared at her like this.

But Alice is obviously not normal.

The girl showed no shame on her face and was doing the same thing to John.

The two of them kept looking at each other in a long silence.

The atmosphere is also becoming more and more weird.

It wasn't until the machine finished processing the entire bucket of toads that Alice finally spoke first:

"You're in love with me?"

John stared into her eyes and said:

"Where did you come to this conclusion?"

"I've been used to being loved by others since I was little," Alice said. "Besides, you've been sending people to find out about me since last night, haven't you?"

John smiled slightly but said nothing.

Alice continued:

"That girl named Pansy is so stupid and self-righteous, just like Flint this morning. I only used a little trick, and she said your name."

John shrugged his shoulders and said:

"So, which French family are you from? And why did you transfer to Hogwarts?"

Alice stretched, stood up, put away the machine, and walked towards John.

"John Shafiq." Alice leaned close to John's ear and said, "I advise you not to make any plans against me, otherwise, you will regret it."

After saying that, she Shi Shiran walked out of the office.

John rubbed his ears.

The hot air that Alice blew when she spoke just now made his ears feel itchy.

But on his face, a smile gradually bloomed.

Now he was almost certain that Alice was definitely not sent by Mysterio to deliberately get close to him.

Otherwise she wouldn't have said those words just now.

But Alice's arrogance made him very annoying.

John's eyes swept over the toad materials that Alice had machined, he shook his head and murmured:
Chapter completed!
