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

Chapter 51: The Giant Monster Released Early, This Is Too Bad
Following a whisper, several pieces of information immediately appeared in the reward column above the system screen.

Rhine also felt the changes these rewards brought to his body.

First of all, it was Filch's talents of sharp eyesight and hearing, and his crane-like stature, that made Rhine feel that his senses were much more sensitive than before, and he could hear many more movements than before.

Even his body felt lighter, and his steps were more agile than before.

Then, Professor McGonagall's talent for creating all things allowed Rhine to immediately feel the effect of the talent on Transfiguration.

The changes of all things seemed to appear in Rhine's mind as if instinctively.

Previously, with Rhine's magic power and his attainments in transfiguration, turning a table into a cat climbing frame was already the limit.

There is still a long way to go before he can transform living creatures, but now, although the strength of Rhine's magic power has not changed, his attainments in transformation have undergone a qualitative change with the blessing of his talent.

He pulled a match from his pocket that he had left over from his Transfiguration class and waved his staff.

The next second, a wonderful feeling surged in Rhine's heart, and then the match turned into a fat silkworm, looking at Rhine curiously with its big round eyes.

Rhine waved his staff again, and the silkworm turned into a pupa wrapped in white silk thread.

When the staff was waved for the last time, the silkworm pupa turned into a large blue morpho butterfly, flapping its gorgeous wings and flying in the bathroom.

After a moment, it landed on Rhine's finger and turned back into the match.

Rhine's eyes showed joy.

Although it is not the seventy-two transformations in the ancient times, the feeling of the transformation of all things is indeed wonderful, just like the creator.

An idea immediately came to Rhine.

Previously, when he was in Diagon Alley, he used his Fire Control Talent in conjunction with Blazing Blaze to perform a copycat version of Vulcan's Way.

But now that his Transfiguration skills have greatly improved, perhaps the power of Vulcan's Way will also increase accordingly?

However, the bathroom was not a place for experimentation, so Rhine temporarily suppressed this thought and focused his attention on the talent that Neville had given him.

Farming skills can greatly enhance Rhine's understanding of soil properties and also play a unique role in crop cultivation.

Rhine focused his attention a little and immediately felt its effect.

"The soil under the bathroom is moist and fertile, perfect for growing shade-loving plants like Devil's Snare..."

For an herbalist like Professor Sprout, possessing this talent would be a great advantage.

Rhine's eyes showed anticipation.

If I can get some plants that are helpful to my practice in the future, perhaps I can use this talent to help cultivate them.

Then, Rhine's attention was completely focused on the Earth Spirit's talent.

This talent made Rhine even happier than the creation of all things.

Draw upon the power of the earth veins for your own use, increase your own strength, and even draw spiritual energy from the earth...

The effect is really immediate!

When his feet touched the ground, Rhine felt as if the earth and soil were welcoming him.

Strands of strong air flowed from the earth into Rhine's body.

Part of it flowed around Rhine's body, making Rhine feel that his already strong physique had become even stronger. With the blessing of the power of the earth veins, the strength of his physical body could be exerted even more!
At the same time, a portion of the strong airflow was integrated into Rhine's body, most of which was used to nourish Rhine's physique, and a small part of it was used to slowly increase the strength of his magic power.

Rhine's heart moved.

"Is this also considered spiritual energy? It's different from the spiritual energy I absorbed from the sky before. It's not that kind of cool air, but rather thick and heavy."

"Yes, the spiritual energy I absorbed before was related to the wind, but now I am using the earth spirit to absorb it, which is earth-attributed spiritual energy. It is normal that the properties are different."

"Eh? If one day I could gather all the talents that absorb spiritual energy of various attributes and then fuse them together, perhaps I could gain a powerful talent that encompasses all five elements?"

"Maybe by then, I'll be qualified to practice magical powers like the Five-Colored Divine Light!"

But after a moment, Rhine shook his head and dispelled the unrealistic delusion in his mind.

With the limited amount of spiritual energy he has absorbed now, let alone the five-colored divine light, he still can't even refine the five-colored stone which is not very powerful.

There is a long way to go!
Fortunately, I have a long enough life span. If I continue to collect talents and practice, maybe one day I can really become an immortal in this magical world!

Then, Rhine thought of the simple practice method in the Flying Tiger Military Strategy he had obtained.

The Earth Spirit's talent is to passively absorb the spiritual energy from the earth's veins. If it is combined with the Flying Tiger Military Strategy, which is a method of actively absorbing spiritual energy, the efficiency will definitely be greatly increased.

Immediately, Rhine began to breathe according to the principles of the Flying Tiger Military Strategy. His chest would sometimes rise and fall, and his breaths would become incredibly long, as if he had forgotten all about time.

Rhine, who possesses a mind as sharp as seven orifices, entered the state of concentration that all prehistoric monks dreamed of the first time he practiced the Flying Tiger Military Strategy, and he forgot everything about himself and the world!

In this state, the earth spiritual energy flowing into Rhine's body immediately increased several times compared to before.

On Rhine's body, the golden luster that came from the talent of attaining the Vajra Body began to grow slowly, becoming more dazzling and brilliant than before.

The strength of his magic power also began to rise continuously under the nourishment of spiritual energy, and its efficiency was much faster than when he used the talent of eating wind and drinking dew before!

Just as Rhine was immersed in this state, an unimaginable stench began to pour into the bathroom from the corridor.

The stench was so severe that Rhine, who was immersed in a state of meditation, changed his expression and woke up.

Rhine's face was filled with shock.

No, which guy is this?

How can it stink so bad?

What did you eat?!

Rhine couldn't bear it any longer, so he pinched his nose and waved his staff.

"Clean up!"

A whirlwind arose and blew away the stench in the air. Rhine felt much better.

But the next moment, heavy footsteps shook the ground violently, and vague murmurs that did not sound like human sounds were heard, as if attracted by the sound of Rhine reciting the spell just now, and approached the bathroom.

The stench became stronger and stronger.

Rhine frowned.

"This is……"

"Troll?!"

"Shouldn't it be released on Halloween? Did Quirrell release it early?"

……

Meanwhile, a dinner was being held in the Hogwarts Great Hall.

The young wizards who had just finished their first day of class were talking about the course with either excitement or fear.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville sat together.

Hermione looked around and couldn't help but ask.

"Where's Rhine?"

"Has any of you seen him?"

Neville touched his head naively and said.

"After the Herbology class, Rhine said he had a stomachache and went to the bathroom."

"He also asked me to tell you not to wait for him and to eat first... I forgot what he said."

Just as Hermione and the others sighed at Neville's poor memory, Professor Quirrell hurried into the dinner and screamed.

"The troll—in the ground-level classroom—"

"I thought Dumbledore knew!"

After saying that, Quirrell fell to the floor and fainted.

The auditorium was in chaos, and the professors were organizing the rioting young wizards to return to the dormitory.

At this time, Hermione's face turned pale and she exclaimed to Professor McGonagall.

"Professor McGonagall, Rhine, Rhine has a stomachache. He's in the bathroom on that floor. He doesn't know about the troll yet!"

Professor McGonagall's expression suddenly changed.

"Oops."

"This is terrible!"

　There's one more chapter that will be posted a little later. I'm taking the train home today, so I won't have time to write two chapters this morning. I'll post it this afternoon. I also wish everyone a safe return trip for the New Year!
