Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

Ye Feng: emmm…

"I... I don't think I can dance, and I haven't prepared a dress."

As soon as Ye Feng said this, Hermione and the others all looked over, as did Ron and the others, and everyone's faces were filled with surprise, because in their minds, Ye Feng had always been an omnipotent being.

Therefore, in their view, it was really a very strange thing that Ye Feng couldn't dance.

After a slight pause, Hermione spoke first: "I can teach you. As for the dress, it's not too late to order it now. At most, you can pay a little more and it will be made quickly."

Upon hearing Hermione's words, Ye Feng first glanced at Hermione, whose face was full of expectation, and then looked around. After finding that Zhang Qiu and the others had no objections, he nodded.

He'd been studying at Hogwarts for several years now; if he didn't even know the most basic ballroom dancing, he'd be laughed at when he got back home. So Ye Feng only thought about it for a moment before agreeing to Hermione's request.

As for the dress, Ye Feng left it to Hermione and the others. He only had one request: it shouldn't be too flashy and it should be comfortable to wear. That was all.

At first, Ye Feng didn't quite understand why Hermione was so eager, or why Ron's mother would send him a dress and robe, but when Professor McGonagall told them that the Triwizard Tournament had a tradition of holding a Christmas ball at Christmas, Ye Feng understood.

However, Ye Feng felt that he needed to invite a dance partner for the Christmas ball. Although it wasn't exactly a battleground for him, even if he chose Zhang Qiu, the others would still feel disappointed, though they wouldn't say anything. So he was wondering if there was a way for him to not need to choose a dance partner.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng suddenly remembered the galas in China, and the galas in China never mentioned finding dance partners or anything like that. So, a bold idea slowly took shape in Ye Feng's mind.

"The equipment and songs are all readily available, so that's not a problem. The only issue now is convincing Dumbledore and the others. But how can we convince them? Are we going to let them experience it first?"

Chapter 249 Ye Feng: I think the Triwizard Tournament could be made a little more difficult.

“Mr. Dumbledore, I have a proposal here that I would like you to take a look at. I wonder if it would be convenient for you?” In Dumbledore’s office, Ye Feng respectfully handed a very formal proposal to Dumbledore.

Looking at the unusually formal plan in front of him, and then at Ye Feng holding the plan with a serious expression, Dumbledore fell into deep self-doubt.

"Am I still dreaming? No, even if I'm dreaming, I shouldn't be having such an absurd dream. So, have I been subjected to some kind of magic?"

Ye Feng:￣へ￣#

As Dumbledore murmured, a tic-tac-toe mark appeared on Ye Feng's forehead, but Dumbledore laughed when he saw that Ye Feng was angry.

"Ah, that's more like it. This is the Ye Feng I know, the one who doesn't change his 'true colors' even in dreams, still as lawless as ever."

Ye Feng: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

“Headmaster Dumbledore, that's enough! Even though we're close, if you keep this up, I'm going to get angry.”

Dumbledore: "Oh? Are you angry? Then this plan..."

"Ahem, Headmaster Dumbledore, I was just kidding. Yes, I am indeed a lawless troublemaker, a good-for-nothing who does nothing productive all day, so Headmaster Dumbledore..."

Dumbledore: (???)

After hearing Ye Feng's words, Dumbledore felt as if he had taken a sip of ice water on a sweltering midday in the sweltering heat of summer—the feeling was indescribably refreshing.

However, Dumbledore also knew that he couldn't really provoke Ye Feng, because if he did, who knew what kind of trouble this guy would cause later.

So Dumbledore stopped in time and took the plan that Ye Feng handed him. He then picked up the goji berry water on the table, blew on it gently, took a sip, and then looked up at the plan that had already been opened.

"puff!"

Dumbledore was stunned by the contents of the plan after only a few glances, without even swallowing the goji berry water in his mouth. The contents of Ye Feng's plan were simply too 'shocking'.

The Christmas ball during the Triwizard Tournament is a tradition that cannot be changed. Ye Feng's plan did not mention canceling the ball, but he slightly modified it, changing the two-person ball into a multi-person ball.

Of course, this was a bit unconventional, but it was routine for Ye Feng. So Dumbledore was surprised but not astonished. What really surprised Dumbledore and made him spit out the water in his mouth was something else.

"The Triwizard Tournament represents the honor of a school. Although each school sends a representative to participate, the others don't feel very involved. So, to increase the participation of students from different schools, we should let students who are not participating also get involved."

"Therefore, we can hold a competition at the Christmas ball to select the three best dancers, the best singers, and the most popular people from the three schools, in addition to the contestants. These three people can then choose a mystery item to help the contestants."

"Besides, most of the students at Hogwarts are not yet adults, and it is wrong for them to be in a relationship at such a young age. The ballroom dances can easily encourage this trend, so we should promote a dance that everyone can participate in and dance."

"This kind of dance can be from China, or it can be from Britain, or even from some 'mysterious ancient country' that likes to dance at the drop of a hat."

Indian: That's right, this mysterious ancient country is me!

After carefully reading the plan, Dumbledore looked at Ye Feng as if he were a monster. That look made Ye Feng feel uneasy, but Ye Feng did not back down. He looked directly into Dumbledore's eyes and said, "Headmaster Dumbledore, there's more to come, and that's the real plan. The Christmas ball and the like are just extras."

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Dumbledore barely suppressed the urge to strangle Ye Feng and turned the page. After turning the page, Dumbledore felt that he was right to hold back, because compared to the plan at the back, the previous part was really just an add-on.

A few minutes later, Dumbledore closed the plan that Ye Feng had handed him. Ye Feng, seeing that Dumbledore had finished reading it, looked at him expectantly and said, "Headmaster Dumbledore, you've finished reading the plan. What do you think of my plan?"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Dumbledore gave Ye Feng a deep look, and then sighed, "Ye Feng, are you sure your plans above are 'tests' and not an attempt to eliminate the other... no, the other two schools' participants?"

Ye Feng: [?ヘ??]

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, a huge question mark appeared above Ye Feng's head.

Seeing that Ye Feng had no idea how outrageous his plan was, Dumbledore sighed and said, "Are you sure that Krum and Delacour... can survive the two trials you designed?"

"Putting aside the death maze that follows, were you planning to scare them both to death with that water horror story?"

“Cedric and Harry have a lot of experience, so even if the person they are trying to save in the water suddenly turns into a great white shark or a sea monster, they will be startled, but at most they will only be startled.”

"But are you sure... Cedric and Krum won't be traumatized?"

"Also, you've added various traps and items to the water to deal with all sorts of puppet monsters. Are you sure Krum and the other guy will use those items you've prepared?"

"You know, while many of the gadgets you make can be used by Hogwarts students after a little trial and error, that's based on the premise that they frequently come into contact with all sorts of interesting and fun gadgets you create. Krum and the others haven't had any contact with these things before."

Ye Feng: (?Д?)ノ

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Ye Feng realized that not all the wizards in school could keep up with his thinking, so Ye Feng did not mention the latter two plans, since not all students had the rich experience of students like those at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Ye Feng's head, making him slightly disappointed. After all, in his opinion, his plan was quite interesting, and the original competition was not difficult for him, Harry, or Cedric.

In the original series, Harry needed gill sacs to breathe and move in the water, but now any Hogwarts student who has studied for a year knows at least three spells that can be used in the water.

Some people were initially skeptical and unwilling to learn, but the personal experiences of some senior students told them that if you don't have magic in the three aspects of water, land, and air, then if Ye Feng organizes any event, you will not only miss out on the final reward, but you may also be left with some psychological trauma.

For example, the 'losers' who were swept away by the water dragon during the last Dragon Boat Festival and whose whereabouts are unknown, ended up drinking their fill after being swept away because they didn't understand underwater magic.

Chapter 250 Ye Feng: Restrictions? They don't exist.

The difficulty of the Triwizard Tournament in the original story was not much for Ye Feng and his friends, but in order not to directly eliminate the students from the other two schools, Dumbledore did not increase the difficulty, but instead designed the challenges based on the level of the students from the other two schools.

Of course, these challenges were designed through joint discussions among the three schools and the Ministry of Magic. Otherwise, if Hogwarts had to create them on its own, even if it won, the other schools wouldn't be convinced.

However, Ye Feng's words also made a lot of sense, so Dumbledore felt that perhaps the difficulty of Hogwarts should be increased, otherwise it would be too unfair to the other two schools.

That's true. Not only is Hogwarts stronger than the other two schools overall, but they also have three players competing on their home turf. It's fair to say that Hogwarts has a huge advantage.

It's fair to say that if he weren't strong enough and had a high enough status, the other two schools would probably have already started protesting. So Dumbledore thought that perhaps it was really time to make things more difficult for Ye Feng and his group.

"How about... we don't let them use wands in the competition?"

"It doesn't seem to work yet. This is indeed a serious limitation for Harry and Cedric, but it doesn't seem to have much impact on Ye Feng. That guy could already cast spells without a wand and without sound when he first entered school, so whether he has a wand or not doesn't make much difference to him."

Suddenly, Dumbledore's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, we can limit the number of times Ye Feng can use magic. This guy likes to use stacking magic. If we limit the number of times he can use magic, his magical strength will be weakened by at least half. If we add the rest of his magic and only target the three of them... hehehehe, this is very promising."

Ye Feng, who had already left Dumbledore's office, suddenly felt a deep malice coming from behind him, which instantly filled him with vigilance. When Dumbledore called the three of them to his office alone the next day, Ye Feng finally knew where that malice came from.

“Headmaster Dumbledore, you’re not joking, are you? How can we cast spells without wands? And if I’m not mistaken, the second match will be in the Black Lake.”

"To enter the Black Lake, we must use magic that allows us to breathe and move freely underwater; otherwise, we simply cannot enter. More importantly, the Black Lake is inhabited by merfolk and other dangerous magical creatures. If we don't bring wands, aren't we guaranteed to lose to Delacour and Krum?"

Upon hearing Dumbledore say that, in order to be fair, they would not be allowed to bring wands to the second competition, Harry immediately expressed his doubts to Dumbledore. Cedric nodded in agreement, while Ye Feng looked thoughtful.

Faced with Harry's question, Dumbledore did not rush to answer. Instead, he turned to Ye Feng and said, "Ye Feng, I know that you can already cast spells without a wand or even silently. Whether you carry a wand or not makes little difference to you, so I have another requirement for you."

"Besides not bringing a wand, you can only use three spells in total throughout the entire competition, and given what you did to the Black Lake murlocs, you cannot compete in your true form."

"Of course, these are just some suggestions for you. If you think it's too difficult for you, you can refuse. After all, you are better than them because you have worked hard little by little. It would be unfair to restrict you."

"However, I think you should have higher expectations. The purpose of the Triwizard Tournament is not to determine the strongest, but to overcome your past selves, overcome your inner cowardice, and continuously break through to become stronger."

"So I hope you will accept my suggestion." After saying this, Dumbledore gestured for Ye Feng and the others to leave.

Ye Feng had no doubts about Dumbledore's suggestion; after all, three spells or thirty spells made little difference to him. Harry and the others, however, fell into deep thought after hearing Dumbledore's words.

Harry, in particular, was surprised when he heard that Ye Feng could cast spells silently without a wand. Ye Feng usually used a wand to cast spells, so when he learned that Ye Feng had far surpassed them, Harry felt a little resentful.

After all, in their minds, although Ye Feng was very good at inventions and creations and could learn magic very quickly, they could actually catch up with him if they just put in a little effort.

But now Dumbledore tells him that Ye Feng has already left them far behind, and what they see of Ye Feng is just a facade he presents to avoid discouraging them.

Although Ye Feng had never thought that way, Harry did, so he felt he had to work hard and not rely on Ye Feng for everything; he had to work hard himself too.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Harry decided to heed Dumbledore's advice and learn wieldless spellcasting before the next competition.

Ye Feng was unaware that Harry's inner power had been awakened by Dumbledore's words; at that moment, he was busy preparing for the Christmas ball.

Although Dumbledore rejected his later plans, he agreed to change this year's Christmas Ball, so he had to make the necessary preparations.

Actually, there wasn't much setup needed, since all the equipment was readily available. All he really needed to do was sort the songs and extract some dance moves, then project them onto the huge projector.

At first, Ye Feng planned to make something like the Mirror of Eris, but after thinking about it, he realized that since they had come to the magical world, using a 2D screen would be too low-class. So Ye Feng thought of something similar to a holographic projection, that is, to project a projection that was indistinguishable from a real person, and let this projection teach others to dance.

Of course, since the 'dances' he prepared didn't have any strict requirements for the movements, it was fine to learn them on the spot. As a result, both the students of Hogwarts and the students of the other two schools discovered something very unexpected.

Normally, you need to find a partner of the opposite sex to attend the Christmas ball, but now, Professor McGonagall has only announced that there will be a Christmas ball, but she has not said that they need to find partners. In fact, when someone asked about this, Professor McGonagall implied that this year's Christmas ball does not require a partner.

"No dance partner needed? Could it be…?"

"Hiss~ No wonder I saw Ye Feng coming out of Headmaster Dumbledore's office earlier. I see. It looks like this year's Christmas ball is going to be fun."

The Hogwarts students nearby lit up instantly upon hearing this, leaving the students from the other two schools completely bewildered. After all, in their eyes, what could be more appealing than inviting their favorite member of the opposite sex as a dance partner for a Christmas ball?

Hogwarts students say: The opposite sex only affects how fast I get rewards!

Chapter 251 Ye Feng: The Veela Bloodline, Terrifyingly Powerful

As the saying goes, anything produced by Ye Feng is bound to be of high quality, so the students of Hogwarts were instantly excited when this news came out.

In their view, female companions, girlfriends, and their other half are all fake; only the rewards are real.

After all, a girlfriend (or boyfriend) might leave halfway through the process with someone else, and even if a girlfriend (or boyfriend) is married, they can still get divorced. But the reward, once it's in their hands and eaten, even if Ye Feng can't make them take it back, it's a real and tangible improvement.

Therefore, a scene that completely baffled the students of the other two schools occurred.

The Hogwarts students, who should have been disappointed or even strongly opposed to the cancellation of their dance partners for the Christmas ball, showed the complete opposite of what they expected.

Instead of feeling disappointed or angry, they became incredibly excited upon hearing the news, even starting to rub their hands together in anticipation. Some even began looking for teammates and forming an alliance.

Filled with bewilderment, Fleur of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry took the initiative to approach our "lucky one," Mr. Ron Weasley.
