I'm in Hogwarts, what the hell is the Honghuang system?

Chapter 23: Changes in January, the eve of school opening

Above the clouds, Rhine piloted the owl flying sword through the clouds and slowly descended.

Feeling the cool air flowing through his body, Rhine's heart moved, and a hint of golden copper appeared on his body surface.

Compared to a month ago, Rhine could clearly feel that with the infusion of spiritual energy, his iron-boned talent had become stronger.

Both physical strength and physical power have increased by at least 20% compared to a month ago.

Tearing tigers and leopards apart alive is no longer a difficult task for Rhine.

Even some dangerous magical creatures that adult wizards in the magical world cannot deal with, Rhine is confident that he can easily deal with them with his physical body alone.

Over the past month, Rhine's improvement has naturally been more than just his iron-skinned talent.

The strength of his magic power also increased significantly under the nourishment of spiritual energy, from the level where he could only barely enter Hogwarts to an above-average level.

It is certainly not comparable to Harry Potter, who was born with fragments of Voldemort's soul, resulting in extremely high magical power.

But in comparison with Rhine and Hermione, he felt that the strength of his magic was not much different from Hermione's.

Combined with the magic control and learning ability brought by the Seven Apertures Heart, he deserves to be called a magic genius.

Moreover, the strength of his magic power can be further improved by relying on the talent of eating wind and drinking dew. When he gains the talent of sun essence and moon essence in the future, the improvement will be further increased.

In time, it will not be impossible to surpass the magical power of a talented person like Harry Potter, or even surpass Dumbledore and Voldemort.

In addition, during this month, he basically studied all the textbooks he had, and also bought second-hand books for free at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore every day.

Rhine has already thoroughly mastered at least the magical knowledge that appeared in the first three years of Hogwarts.

Most of the commonly used spells, even if they are a little difficult to cast using a wand, are easy for Rhine.

Even Rhine's skill in wielding a magic wand has improved a lot with the help of his Seven Apertures Heart, giving him a feeling of being freed from worldly desires and returning to his original nature.

A smile appeared on Rhine's lips.

"With this kind of strength, the dangers you might encounter in your first year are no longer dangerous..."

"The three-headed dog can't bite me. I can show it what the dog-beating stick method is by using my martial arts."

"Even the Devil's Snare can't hold my iron skin and bones. As for that Transfiguration chessboard and flying key, they're all childish tricks."

"The only one who poses a bit of a threat is Two-Face. However, judging by Two-Face's reaction speed in the original book, he was really slowed down by Quirrell. Even first-year Harry Potter couldn't deal with him, so he wasn't much of a threat."

"As for the second year, if I were to encounter that thousand-year-old basilisk in the secret room..."

He made a mental estimate.

It is impossible for the basilisk to sneak attack him. With its huge body, others cannot detect it. But Rhine, who has the talent of controlling the wind, can easily detect the unusual movement and fishy smell in the air.

As for fighting with his eyes closed, it is not a problem with Rhine's current martial arts skills.

There are also attacks from the basilisk. As long as Rhine is not bitten directly by his fangs, ordinary bumps and collisions will not have any effect on his iron skin and bones.

Even if he was bitten by the venomous fangs, Rhine felt that he could withstand it and would not be bitten through directly. The effect of the venom on his body would be greatly slowed down.

"To sum up, if the Millennium Basilisk met me now, it would be beaten to a pulp."

"Hogwarts, safe!"

Feeling confident, Rhine's smile became even brighter.

His gaze fell towards the system panel.

Current connections: Uncle Wang Bigan (close friend), Ling He (close friend), young Deng Chanyu (close friend), Yuan Hong (casual acquaintance), the leader of the Weapon Refining Sect (casual acquaintance), the leader of the Beast Taming Sect (casual acquaintance)

At first glance, there seems to be no change in personal connections.

But in his relationship with Hermione, the friendship of close friends had actually begun to fade away, and the words "friendship for life and death" were much more solid than a month ago, almost taking shape.

Perhaps with just one more chance, they could become true friends of life and death. The Five-Colored Light Stone cultivation method, which had beaten immortals and gods black and blue, was already very close to Rhine. Furthermore, Rhine's relationship with Ollivander and Warwick had almost reached the level of close friendship.

The talent for controlling fire and cultivating spirit beasts should be acquired in the next day or two.

If there is an opportunity, it will be even faster.

Rhine narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and walked towards Diagon Alley.

"School is about to start, so I'll take the initiative and try to get these two talents today."

……

Hermione had already taken the seat she and Rhine had been sitting in for the past month.

Seeing Rhine appear, Hermione smiled, with a smile that showed both anticipation and nervousness.

"Rhine, the day after tomorrow is the time to go to King's Cross Station. We are getting closer and closer to Hogwarts."

"I'm starting to get nervous. 'Hogwarts: A History' says the Sorting Ceremony will involve a special mysterious test. I've checked a lot of books and asked a lot of people in Diagon Alley, and they all say this test is extremely difficult."

"Oh my god, what will it be about? Is it an exam, or a practical magic lesson?"

"Which subject should I focus on studying?"

Looking at Hermione's nervous expression, Rhine burst out laughing.

It has to be said that the magical world's tradition of pranking young wizards is strictly followed from textbooks to every adult wizard.

I remember that in the original book, even the Malfoy family, who always regarded themselves as aristocrats, were deceived by Lucius and Narcissa, which made Malfoy feel uneasy.

The main theme is that even though he himself has been caught in the rain, he still wants to tear up the umbrella of the next generation.

Even the textbooks were vague and mysterious, no wonder Hermione was so nervous.

Rhine then spoke to comfort him.

"Don't worry, Hermione. If you can't pass the sorting test with your magical ability, then I'm afraid all the new students at Hogwarts will have to drop out and go home."

What he said is true.

During this month, with his guidance, Hermione basically mastered all the first-year magic knowledge.

Compared to the original novel where she could only study magic on her own at the same time, Hermione in this life is definitely much stronger.

Rhine even had an idea that he could absorb spiritual energy with his talent of eating wind and drinking dew. If Hermione was also by his side at that time, would some of the spiritual energy also be infused into Hermione's body, thereby increasing the strength of her magic?

If that were the case, how high would Hermione's magical achievements be?
But that's all in the past. At least until their relationship becomes life-or-death, Rhine doesn't intend to reveal his talent for increasing his magic power.

After all, even Voldemort had to rely on repeated dark magic transformations and Horcrux creation to improve his strength, but he could increase his magical power so easily. If this were to be spread, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.

Rhine said to Hermione.

"School is about to start. Let's relax today and not study."

"I have to go and say goodbye to Mr. Ollivander and Mr. Warwick first."

Hermione nodded, then seemed to remember something.

"Oh yes, when I came to Diagon Alley today, I saw a dessert shop having a promotion. I heard that the honey lemonade there is very delicious, and there are a lot of people lining up."

"Rhine, go ahead. I'm going there to buy two glasses of lemonade so we can drink together."

Immediately, Hermione left her seat.

Rhine sighed softly, a hint of heat flashing in his eyes, and walked into the Warwick Magical Creatures Shop.
