------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, the Acromantulas, which struck fear into the hearts of wizards, encountered Goku today.

In the face of absolute power, numbers held no meaning.

In terms of physical fitness, the Acromantulas were far inferior to Goku; their venom and webs only managed to hit Goku's afterimages.

Thus, in less than an hour, the dense swarm of Acromantulas all lay prostrate on the ground.

This was even without Goku using techniques like Kamehameha and Dodon Ray.

Because he remembered Hagrid's words, he didn't kill them during the fight; all the Acromantulas were still alive.

"That was a lot of fun. I'll come back to play with you all again tomorrow night."

Clapping his hands, Goku continued deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

After Goku's figure disappeared, an Acromantula, significantly larger than a full-grown elephant, slowly crawled out of a hidden tree hollow.

"Is that guy even human? Not even those wizards could possess such terrifying power."

It was none other than Aragog, the father of this group of Acromantulas and the strongest Acromantula.

But he had no intention of defending his children just now, because he knew that if he dared to show his face, he too would end up on the ground.

At ten o'clock that night, Goku's figure appeared in front of Hagrid's hut, signaling the end of his combat training for the day.

Dumbledore, who had been waiting for a long time, inquired about Goku's experiences in the Forbidden Forest, then remarked with a sigh:

"The magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest can hardly make you exert your full strength. You'll have to make do with this training for now.

After a while, I'll send you to the Hebrides, where a large group of powerful Black Dragons live. They should be able to help you with more effective combat training."

"I feel pretty good about it," Goku replied.

Goku didn't mind, as he had rarely encountered opponents stronger than the Acromantulas during his previous training.

Since he began his training after leaving Fortuneteller Baba, he had only met three masters.

His other combat opponents were merely tigers, lions, and dinosaurs in the mountains, whose strength was inferior to the Acromantulas.

If he could fight so many Acromantulas every day, it would still be very helpful for improving his strength.

"Goku, can you teach Hagrid how to use Ki?"

Dumbledore beckoned Hagrid over, and Goku nodded, beginning to instruct Hagrid on how to condense Ki within his body, following Master Roshi Grandpa's guidance from back then.

During the year he trained with Master Roshi Grandpa, Master Roshi Grandpa didn't teach them any specific techniques.

However, in their cultural lessons, he provided detailed guidance on the condensation and utilization techniques of Ki within the body.

Otherwise, solely through high-intensity physical training, he and Krillin wouldn't have achieved such a significant increase in strength in just one year.

Only by understanding how to utilize Ki in conjunction with the body can one truly unleash power and speed that surpasses human limits.

It was precisely because he learned about Ki from Master Roshi Grandpa that he was able to unleash a Kamehameha comparable to Master Roshi Grandpa's.

It wasn't like his initial attempts at mere imitation, which could at most overturn a car.

"Ki is a power that every one of us possesses within our bodies; it's not just humans, but all things in the World contain Ki.

The stronger the body, the easier it is to perceive the existence of Ki.

After that, one must learn to control Ki. Only by being able to control Ki can we utilize it to strengthen our bodies for combat…"

Goku sat cross-legged on the ground, repeating what Master Roshi Grandpa had said, then slowly brought his palms together, guiding the Ki within his body to condense into his palms.

A moment later, a faint ball of Ki slowly appeared in Goku's palm.

"Look, this is Ki!"

"This is Ki!"

Hagrid, whose head was almost as big as Goku's entire body, leaned in, looking at the small ball of Ki with a face full of curiosity.

Dumbledore also bent down; he was equally curious about this power, which was no less potent than the forces of this World.

"It is indeed different from magic," Dumbledore mused, sensing the ball of Ki.

When Goku used Qigong Wave before, the fluctuations of Ki were too explosive to perceive in detail.

Now that Goku had gently drawn out the Ki from his body, he had made some new discoveries.

A wizard's magic primarily comes from their wizarding bloodline, a power generated by the combination of a wizard's physical bloodline and spirit.

However, the energy of Ki, in his perception, was primarily divided into three parts.

One part also came from the body, but unlike a wizard's power from their bloodline, this was purely the power of the physical body, or more precisely, the power of life.

Another part came from the spirit; meditation and guidance of the mind involved integrating one's spiritual power into the life force.

The third part came from the natural World outside, which their wizarding magic did not possess.

A wizard's magic resides solely within the body, with no external forces involved.

Therefore, Ki, composed of three forces, had much greater power than magic, composed of two forces, at the same volume.

A wizard's pure magical output was not inherently destructive; it required magic to alter the form of magic, thereby producing various effects.

But Ki was different; simply releasing it possessed strong destructive power, and if condensed, compressed, and then exploded, its destructive power was even more terrifying.

In his opinion, Goku's Dodon Ray and Kamehameha actually didn't have much technical content; they were simply explosions achieved by condensing and compressing Ki.

Therefore, Ki, composed of three energies, could easily replace magic, composed of two energies, to cast magic.

However, if one wanted to condense and compress magic to release Dodon Ray and Kamehameha, it would be quite unrealistic.

Even if released, the power would be greatly diminished.

Therefore, the previous idea of using a clever method—first using magic to replace Ki to release Goku's techniques—

to allow wizards to master a wandless attack ability, could now be abandoned.

One still needed to train the body to its limit and possess Ki to truly master the Turtle School's fighting style.

Moreover, once one possessed Ki, even if not particularly skilled in magic, one could still cast spells wandlessly like Goku.

"Keep it up, Hagrid. The future peace of the Wizarding World might just depend on you!"

Dumbledore looked at Hagrid, who was earnestly learning how to control the Ki within his body from Goku, and murmured to himself.

After half an hour of instruction, and many demonstrations by Goku, Hagrid still hadn't learned how to control Ki.

But it wasn't without any progress; at least he seemed to gradually feel the presence of Ki within his body.

However, to control it like Goku would require more time for practice.

Fortunately, Hagrid's mind was relatively simple, which actually gave him an advantage over typical wizards in this regard.

In return, before Dumbledore sent Goku back to his dormitory to sleep, Hagrid made rock cakes and homemade roasted sausages again.

Although the rock cakes were still hard and tooth-breaking, and half of the sausages were burnt.

However, Goku was clearly not that picky; he was already very happy to have food, which perfectly replenished the stamina he had expended fighting in the Forbidden Forest.

Thus, every day—extreme training in the morning, Charms in the late morning, theory in the afternoon, and the Forbidden Forest in the evening—continued until Saturday.

This day was when Goku, as the ki magic Professor, was scheduled to begin his classes…
