Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

As Ye Feng spoke, five layers of transparent magical barriers appeared in front of him, and almost at the same time the barriers formed, the flames spewed by the fire dragon arrived.

The blazing goblet completely enveloped Ye Feng's location, but neither the fire dragon nor the spectators in the stands who gasped in shock noticed that after the magic barrier appeared, the moisture in the air quickly condensed into ice in front of Ye Feng, and this ice quickly transformed into a crystal giant sword more than two meters long.

Two or three seconds later, when the dragon flames of the fire dissipated, Ye Feng stood unharmed in the same spot. When they saw the ice sword floating in front of Ye Feng, gleaming with a chilling light in the sunlight, they couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Gulu~"

"Wait, Ye Feng, stop right now! That dragon can't be killed!"

Ye Feng: [?ヘ??]

Upon hearing Dumbledore's call, Ye Feng, who had already imbued the ice crystal greatsword before him with numerous buffs, had to stop. Even though he could activate the ice crystal greatsword with a mere thought, which, apart from not being able to be preserved for long periods, was in no way inferior to the Gryffindor sword in terms of sharpness and hardness.

Dumbledore, watching from the stands, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Feng tilting his head in confusion and not continuing to attack.

Dumbledore had witnessed Ye Feng's method of continuously imbuing an ordinary object with commonplace magic, thereby transforming something originally ordinary into something extremely lethal.

Therefore, he knew very well that although the ice sword in front of him didn't look impressive, if he were to unleash it, the fire dragon in front of him would probably die within a second.

Although Hogwarts could afford to pay for a dragon, it didn't actually belong to them. It was brought over from elsewhere specifically for the competition. If you were to kill it in front of everyone, it would ultimately have a negative impact.

Ye Feng, who had been stopped by Dumbledore, sighed with regret, "What a pity. If that fire dragon had breathed fire for even half a second longer, I would have had enough time to kill you."

Fire Dragon: #%*&@…

Dumbledore, who was coming down from the stands, happened to hear Ye Feng's words. This made him quicken his pace and immediately get rid of the fire dragon, because the giant sword that Ye Feng had created had not yet dissipated.

In fact, the time it took for the fire dragon to breathe fire was enough for Ye Feng to kill it with magic at least twice. However, because there were so many people watching, and he had already used a summoning spell once, it would be too high-profile to unleash such a powerful spell so quickly this time, enough to easily kill the fire dragon.

So Ye Feng slowed down slightly when using magic, timing it perfectly so that he could finish the ice crystal greatsword just after the fire dragon's breath attack ended. Unfortunately, Dumbledore guessed Ye Feng's intention the moment the ice crystal greatsword appeared and immediately stopped him, otherwise Hogwarts would have had dragon meat to eat that night.

It can only be said that Dumbledore knew Ye Feng too well. If Dumbledore had hesitated even for half a second, Hogwarts would have been eating fire-breathing meat that night.

After being stopped and the fire dragon was taken away, Ye Feng regretfully dispelled the ice crystal giant sword in front of him and picked up the golden egg that he had casually thrown aside. Although Ye Feng did not kill the fire dragon, even so, it was enough for everyone in the other two schools to remember him completely.

It was at this moment that they finally understood why the seemingly ordinary Ye Feng was so well-known at Hogwarts, which made them slowly begin to believe the "legends" they had heard from the students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 247 Flying Pets Go Online

All five players passed the first stage of the Triwizard Tournament, with Ye Feng having the easiest time. Had Dumbledore not intervened, Ye Feng might have become the first dragon slayer in the tournament.

However, since the Three Kingdoms Tournament did not proceed immediately after the first event, they had to go back to class after the Fire Dragon event.

Of course, as participants in the three-way competition, they are different from the students who are not participating, because they also need to study the golden egg in their hands, find the clues hidden in the golden egg, and then think of a strategy to deal with it based on these clues.

Yes, finding clues, analyzing them, and then learning or deepening the corresponding magic based on them—that's the real process of the second event in the Triwizard Tournament.

In the original series, Harry basically ignored the golden egg after getting it, and then spent all his time thinking about the Christmas ball. In the end, he only managed to pass the game thanks to reminders and help from others, and Neville's use of the senna plant. That is actually an abnormal way to pass the game.

As for clues to finding the golden egg…

Can Ye Feng say that the mermaid song inside the golden egg was sung by the mermaid he captured?

Although Ye Feng didn't know the content of the song, nor how to hear the voice within it, all he needed to know was that it was related to the mermaids in the Black Lake, and that it was related to mermaids…

This isn't Ye Feng bragging. Even if he entered the Black Lake without any equipment, or even stormed into the lair of those 'mermaids' and brought back their throne, those mermaids probably wouldn't dare utter a sound.

Perhaps Ye Feng only needs to show that he needs their throne, and he probably won't even need to take it himself. The mermaids will bring it over on their own, and they won't even have to worry about Ye Feng rejecting it if they move it too slowly.

Therefore, after learning that the second item was related to the Black Lake and mermaids, Ye Feng stopped caring about the golden egg.

Well, it's not that he didn't care. After taking the golden egg back, he casually modified it a bit and then gave it to Little Grey to play with.

Surprisingly, Little Grey Grey quite liked this 'chandelier'. It took the contents out of the golden egg and then put its own nest inside, so that it could simply close the golden egg when it wanted to sleep during the day.

Ye Feng, on the other hand, was tinkering with something.

Ye Feng fell in love with the palm-sized 'fire dragon' at first sight during the lottery, so he plans to make his own puppet fire dragon.

However, there's a problem: achieving that level of realism isn't an issue, but it would require the entire body of the puppet dragon to be made of metal. If a layer of simulated skin is added on the outside, then Ye Feng's other envisioned function—transformation—would be impossible to realize.

"Sigh, isn't there a metal that can be hard when needed and soft when needed?"

With a helpless sigh, Ye Feng placed the palm-sized 'Old One' made entirely of metal back on the small wooden shelf on the table. On the same shelf that Little Grey had been using as a bird stand, there were also miniature metal dragons, twelve-winged fallen angels, star destroyers, and other 'models'.

A few days later, although Ye Feng had not yet found or refined the metal he wanted, he found a solution.

His solution was simple: split and combine.

Metal is very hard when it is large enough, but it is also malleable. So if you make it into thin strips, it will become soft, or you can make it into chains. When they are just one layer or each layer is not tightly attached, they will appear soft, but when they are tightly fastened together, they will appear exceptionally strong.

Of course, these alone are not enough, so Ye Feng also created combination magic, which involves disassembling the magic circle and turning it into something similar to movable type, so that it can be directly transformed and combined into the required magic circle when needed.

Following this line of thought, Ye Feng spent a whole week successfully modifying the 'Old One' on his desk, making it feel like a real flesh and blood creature, rather than a cold, metallic lump.

After successfully transforming the pile of 'figurines' on his wooden shelf, Ye Feng created a few fire dragons to test the waters. After a great success, Ye Feng then created some 'intelligent pets' exclusively for Hermione and the others based on their preferences.

Of course, since they are pets, they are naturally cute, so Hermione's pets are all chibi-style and look very adorable.

In addition, these intelligent pets need to stay by their side at all times, so they all have to be able to fly. As a result, Hermione's "white cat" grew wings on its back, and Cho Chang's sesame ball (panda) had a spinning four-leaf clover on its head, and so on.

However, after setting it up, Ye Feng didn't rush to give it to them, because he planned to give these smart pets to them as Christmas gifts.

As for whether it's really just a simple 'pet', well... that's impossible.

Since it's made by Ye Feng, it has to be a high-quality product. So this thing actually also functions as a guard, weapon, and vehicle, because it also has an automatic protection function and a transformation function.

The reason it can automatically protect its master is because Ye Feng added a lot of warning and defensive magic to it, so it can automatically protect its master when the master is in danger.

The reason it can be a weapon is actually quite simple: it has a transformation function, meaning it can change into any weapon you need, whether it's a magical firearm or a melee weapon.

As for transportation, this thing can be transformed into a shield that is 60 centimeters wide and 1.5 meters long. It can easily become a flying platform, a flying broom (ordinary), or a flying sword.

This thing is almost omnipotent. If you want, as long as you tell Ye Feng the user's wand attributes and habits during the manufacturing process, it can even change the wand, and it will be no different from an ordinary wand in use.

It can be said that apart from being expensive to manufacture, cumbersome to produce and unable to be mass-produced, and having an extremely intricate and complex internal structure that is difficult to repair once a problem occurs, this thing has no drawbacks.

"Building this thing is indeed too time-consuming. Maybe after Christmas I can consider making a simplified version. It doesn't matter if it's a bit tougher or not as versatile. As long as it can fly, transform, and has some automatic protection capabilities, that's enough. That way, it should be able to be mass-produced, so I won't be disturbed and I'll have something to show for it."

Yes, the reason Ye Feng created the simplified version was to avoid acquaintances asking him for help in creating it.

He didn't really want to create custom-made items, but it was different if they could be mass-produced using a simplified, modular approach. He only needed to create a template, and then he could produce them continuously. That way, even if acquaintances came looking for him, he would have something to show for it.

From then on, in addition to talismans and wands, another essential 'equipment' for wizards was born in the magical world. In fact, after its creation, the ownership rate of this item was even higher than that of wands, because wands could only be possessed by wizards, while this flying pet did not.

Chapter 248 If it's too difficult to choose, then don't choose it.

"Wow~"

"Ye Feng, is this your new pet? It's such an adorable fire dragon... a fire dragon!!!"

"Ahem, Ye Feng, if I'm not mistaken, that 'pet' on your shoulder is a little fire dragon, isn't it?"

Ye Feng: [?_??]

"Yes, senior. Is there a problem?"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, the Hufflepuff senior immediately replied, "Of course there's a problem!"

"Don't you know? The Ministry of Magic explicitly forbids wizards from raising dragons privately, so... Ye Feng, how about you bribe me, your senior?" As she said this, the Hufflepuff senior brought her face close to Ye Feng's, her expression quite mischievous.

Ye Feng: ￣へ￣

"Although you are quite pretty and have a great figure, I am still a fourteen-year-old child. Forget about it, I will not agree unless you force me."

"Pfft~"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

"As expected of you, senior, I absolutely adore you!" As she spoke, the Hufflepuff senior hugged Ye Feng tightly and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

Of course, it would have been even better if she hadn't taken the 'fire dragon' that was standing on Ye Feng's shoulder when she let go of him.

"Oh, it's not a real fire dragon cub, but a magical artifact dragon."

"Little Ye Feng, can I borrow your fire dragon for a few days? I can repay you with my body~" As she spoke, the Hufflepuff senior pulled her clothes down a little and made a seductive and charming pose.

Ye Feng: (??? ?? ???)

"Ahem, senior, you can borrow it for a few days, but forget about payment. Just remember to help me promote it. But you have to explain to them that this thing is a bit pricey, and it can't be mass-produced yet. We'll have to wait."

As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, the senior student ran away with the fire dragon. After the senior student was gone, Ye Feng took out an identical fire dragon and put it on his shoulder.

Half an hour later, Ye Feng was surrounded by people in the restaurant. After learning the price of the product and that it had not yet been mass-produced, many people dispersed, but Harry and the others still looked at Ye Feng with frighteningly bright eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. I did prepare some for you, and they are even more exquisite and practical than these, but they are Christmas presents. Looking at me now won't do you any good."

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Harry and the others reluctantly turned their gaze away, while they began to think about what Christmas gift to prepare for Ye Feng.

Every year, Ye Feng would prepare Christmas gifts for them, and they would also prepare return gifts for Ye Feng. However, although the gifts Ye Feng gave were usually things he had put together himself, they were still quite valuable. It might be a little difficult for them to give Ye Feng something of equal value back with their meager savings.

Therefore, they could only focus on the sentiment behind the gifts. In other words, their Christmas gifts were mostly made by themselves, or they would combine them to give Ye Feng something that they thought Ye Feng needed, could use, and didn't have yet.

Just as they were pondering this, Ron's owl flew in carrying a huge box.

Although Ron and Hermione's owls weren't extravagant enough to eat all sorts of pills like candy, they still got to eat them quite often by hanging out with Grey. So their owls were now considered a force to be reckoned with at Hogwarts. Even a dozen or so ordinary owls attacking them together probably wouldn't have much of an advantage.

Therefore, lifting something several times their own weight is not a problem.

Ron was a little surprised to see the huge box, and he was even more surprised when he opened it and saw what was inside: a 'woman's long dress' and a 'hoodie'.

Ron's face fell instantly when he saw the slightly worn and clearly 'women's' long dress. He glanced at Ginny sitting not far away and said with a sullen face, "Ginny, this must be for you."

Ginny: (。o_o)

"No, I don't want to wear it, it's so ugly."

Hearing Ginny and Ron's conversation, Hermione, who was sitting opposite Ye Feng, put down her chopsticks, covered her mouth, and burst into laughter, saying, "No, it's not for Ginny, it's for you, Ron."

Hermione's words caused the people sitting next to her to burst into laughter, including Ron's two brothers, the Weasley twins.

Ron felt even more embarrassed by the laughter around him, while Hermione continued, "This is not a women's gown, it's a formal robe."

Hearing Hermione's words, Ron's embarrassment lessened slightly, but a look of doubt appeared on his face. At this moment, Ye Feng suddenly remembered something: it seemed that the Triwizard Tournament included a Christmas ball.
