Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

While swimsuits may not necessarily reveal a lot, they generally share one characteristic: they are tight-fitting. This is because only in this way can the resistance from water flow be reduced more effectively, and thus…

(?﹃?)

When Ye Feng and Fu Rong took off their outer coats and changed into more 'cool' and form-fitting clothes, everyone, both men and women, was stunned, because their figures were simply too pleasing to the eye.

Of course, because the weather was a bit cold, Ye Feng and his group didn't have much time to observe their opponents. Dumbledore, also because of the weather, didn't delay and simply announced the rules before the cannons fired.

As soon as the starting cannon shot rang out, the five people jumped directly into the Black Lake and quickly cast a spell to avoid drowning.

As we all know, people cannot speak in water, and all five of them can cast spells. This means that they must master the technique of silently casting the spells they need before the competition begins.

Looking at the five people who have now dispersed underwater, it is clear that they have all accomplished this, which makes Dumbledore and the others in the stands quite gratified.

"Not bad, they're all..."

ヽ(゜Q.)ノ?

Before he could finish speaking, a bunch of question marks popped up above Dumbledore's head because he saw something that puzzled him quite a bit.

After entering the water, Ye Feng first cast a bubble spell to completely envelop himself, and then... then Dumbledore saw Ye Feng being swallowed whole by a five- or six-meter-long fish...

Chapter 283 The Fisherman Can Do Everything

In the ocean, there are many fish that are five or six meters long, because the ocean is large enough to provide ample food for its creatures, allowing them to grow freely.

However, land or lakes are not ideal, as they often have various limitations that prevent the fish in them from growing very large. The Black Lake, however, is different, because it belongs to the magical world, which possesses magical creatures.

More importantly, Ye Feng has been feeding the fish in the lake a lot over the years, which has resulted in the fish in Black Lake being relatively large. Therefore, it is quite reasonable for a fish to appear in the lake that can swallow Ye Feng whole.

As for why a fish swallowed him as soon as he jumped down, it's actually quite simple: because... Ye Feng summoned the fish himself.

Even when swimming in water, there are still significant limitations, and Dumbledore further restricted them to using only three spells. This could lead to a situation where magic is insufficient, since there are not only fish-men in the water, but also other aggressive creatures.

Then, a brilliant idea flashed into Ye Feng's mind.

To swim fast enough in water, you need speed-up magic; to breathe, you need underwater magic; to see clearly underwater in low light, you need lighting or magic that enhances vision, allowing you to see in the dark, and so on.

But he had agreed with Dumbledore to use only three spells, so that was definitely not enough. So Ye Feng came up with a brilliant idea.

If he can't swim fast enough, he won't swim at all; if he can't see, he won't look; if he's afraid of being attacked by aquatic creatures, he'll just become one of them. So, as soon as he entered the water, Ye Feng first cast a water-resistant bubble on himself, then summoned a large fish that swallowed him whole, using the fish as his ride.

It's common knowledge that anglers can't catch anything, but they can do everything, so they know how to control the fish, which makes sense, right?

What happened next caused Dumbledore, who was watching everything closely from above, to twitch his lips slightly.

The other four immediately cast their chosen spells after entering the water, and once they were free to move around, they began frantically searching the lakebed for their stolen items. Meanwhile, Ye Feng…

After being swallowed by the big fish, he lay directly in its mouth, letting the fish open its mouth and swim forward, searching around, while he watched from inside, occasionally directing the fish to swim in a certain direction—it couldn't have been more pleasant.

"Is this guy really here to participate in the competition?" Grindelwald, who was also standing next to Dumbledore, couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly when he saw this scene.

Because he didn't have to search around, swim around, or worry about being attacked, Ye Feng was incredibly relaxed, a stark contrast to Harry and his friends who were struggling to swim forward, trying to make out their surroundings in the dim water, trying to find what the fish-men had hidden in the water.

Of course, some aquatic creatures dared not attack the large fish that Ye Feng was 'riding', but that doesn't mean all creatures dared not attack, such as... fishmen.

After searching rapidly for more than ten minutes, the big fish broke into the merfolk's territory.

In the water, the fish-men, who possess intelligence, adapt to aquatic life, and have magical powers, are clearly the overlords of the water. Therefore, although the fish in which Ye Feng was hiding was very large and could be considered above average in the Black Lake, it still seemed too weak in the face of the overlords of the water, the fish-men.

Therefore, when the big fish entered the fishmen's territory, the fishmen immediately launched an attack on it.

Without sound, without light and shadow effects, and without any obvious changes, almost instantly the powerful current swept the large fish where Ye Feng was flying away. Because of his limited vision, Ye Feng, who was hiding in the fish's mouth, did not see the attack before it came.

By the time he realized it, the powerful current had already reached the large fish.

Without a sound, the surging water directly engulfed the large fish, causing it to tumble and roll.

Water seems harmless and easily manipulated, as if it poses no danger.

However, a review of human history reveals that while water has nurtured and sustained human civilization, it has also continuously brought disasters to humanity. Moreover, humans often have no way to prevent these disasters and can only passively endure them.

At this moment, although the current in the lake that had caught the giant fish was invisible, its power was immense. It swept away the giant fish where Ye Feng was hiding, causing it to spin wildly out of control.

The big fish was completely disoriented by the crazy spinning, while Ye Feng felt as if he had been stuffed into a running washing machine. He was spinning around so much that he couldn't tell up from down, left from right, or north from south.

"Holy crap! Who was that shameless bastard who ambushed me?" Amidst the uproar, Ye Feng couldn't help but curse. The merman who attacked Ye Feng, just as he was about to kill the giant fish, faintly heard someone cursing.

Lu Yujia: [?_??]

"I think I just...heard that person's voice, or...was it my imagination?"

Puzzled, Lu Yujia turned his gaze back to the large fish, and then…

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

Just now, due to the direction, Lu Yujia did not see Ye Feng in the fish's mouth. Now, because of the huge wave and the fish's constant rolling, Lu Yujia was able to see him.

Ye Feng was renowned among the teachers and students of Hogwarts, but he was even more famous among the intelligent magical creatures, especially the merfolk.

To put it simply, Ye Feng's reputation among students is relatively low-key, and Dumbledore also intentionally suppressed information about him from the outside world. Therefore, apart from the teachers and students of Hogwarts, people in the wizarding world don't really know much about him, and not many people know him.

But in the world of magical creatures, let's put it this way, Ye Feng is the Harry of the magical creature world.

No, it's not quite right to say that Ye Feng is the Harry of the magical creature world, because Harry is just more famous and more people know him, but Ye Feng is different. His status among magical creatures, or rather, non-human intelligent beings, is extremely high, basically equivalent to—Tang Sanzang.

The reason why Ye Feng is so well-known is simple: the pills he possesses can make animals stronger, change their life level, and allow them to reach higher levels.

The merfolk in the Black Lake at Hogwarts had witnessed just how terrifying Ye Feng was, and they were also the most aware of just how terrifying the effects of the pills were, since Ye Feng often mixed pills into his bait when fishing.

Therefore, Ye Feng is the most unapproachable among the fish-men, and you must do everything you can to meet all his demands, even if it means catching them as pets or cooking them, they must still cooperate with a smile.

Therefore, when Lu Yujia saw Ye Feng inside the big fish's mouth, he (the fish?) was completely dumbfounded.

"It really is that one!!! Quick, save him!" Realizing this, the fishman shot towards the big fish like an arrow.

"My lord, please, please don't let anything happen to you! If you lose even a single hair because of me, our capital will devour me when we get back..."

Chapter 284 The Big Fish Charges Forward

Intimidated by Ye Feng's reputation, the fishman wished he could take Ye Feng's place in the fish's mouth. It didn't matter if Ye Feng died, but if something happened to Ye Feng in Black Lake, then the fishmen of Black Lake would be completely wiped out.

However, Ye Feng was not as fragile as the fishman imagined.

Although the feeling of being stuffed into a washing machine was quite unpleasant, Ye Feng was fine, and so was the fish. They recovered after the fish-men stopped attacking.

Once it recovered, the big fish, which had been completely terrified by the attack, wanted to run away, but before it could run, Ye Feng's order came, which made it stop immediately.

However, Ye Feng's command only lasted for a second before it became invalid, because the fish-man thought that Ye Feng had been swallowed by the big fish, so the moment it rushed over, it raised its harpoon to stab the fish to death.

Fishmen are the overlords of the water. It can be said that in the Black Lake, apart from the giant octopus, almost any other creature can be on their menu. So, although this big fish is very large, it still instinctively feels fear when it sees a fishman.

Faced with the immense fear of life and death, the giant fish instinctively chose to resist Ye Feng's command and escape. Ye Feng, seeing this, did not forcibly control the fish, but instead gave it a buff.

Given his status, it's safe to say he's guaranteed first place in this round, because those merfolk simply wouldn't dare to stop him or create any difficulties for him.

However, winning the championship in this way was too easy and too boring, so Ye Feng decided to increase the difficulty for himself.

So, after realizing that the fishman had misunderstood, he didn't clarify, but instead gave the big fish a buff and then controlled it to flee wildly.

With almost a flick of its tail, the big fish shot off like an arrow, its extreme speed startling the fish-man.

The reason why fish-men can become the rulers of the water is not only because they possess intelligence and can use magic, but also because of their swimming speed.

It can be said that the fish-men are among the fastest swimmers in the water, which allows them to obtain enough food to avoid starvation even if they cannot cast magic or do not know magic.

However, their swimming speed, which they were so proud of, was now being outpaced by an ordinary big fish in a black lake. This was something that even an uncle could tolerate, but a sister-in-law could not!

"To actually show off your speed in front of us mermaids is simply courting death!" As soon as he finished speaking, the fish-like armor tensed up like a drawn bow, and then in the next second, all the power accumulated in its tensed body was released with the flick of its tail.

"Hey~"

This was the sound the fishman was imitating in his mind, because fish don't make any sound when they swim in water. However, his speed was indeed very fast. He darted out almost instantly and was only five or six meters away from the big fish that Ye Feng was 'riding' in just one or two seconds.

Ye Feng was a little surprised to see that the fishman had caught up so quickly, but he did not panic. Instead, he calmly directed the big fish to change direction, either rising or diving.

The 'buff' Ye Feng gave to this big fish was simple: a Qi and Blood Pill.

Dumbledore said he could only use three spells and couldn't use talismans, but he didn't say he couldn't use elixirs.

So, it makes sense to add some gas to your car when it's out of gas, right?

With the boost from the Qi and Blood Pill, the fish's physical attributes increased by at least half. In terms of game attributes, this is equivalent to the pill increasing the fish's attributes by 50%.

Although it only increased half of the attributes, it was comprehensive, so it was enough for this fish to cause trouble without any problems.

However, the fishman was too persistent, and as expected of the overlord of the water, the distance between them was gradually closing under Lu Yujia's all-out pursuit. Soon, the distance between the two was less than five meters.

At a distance of five meters, magic would have been used long ago, because this is the distance where magic has the highest hit rate.

However, this was underwater, and in a place with dense aquatic plants and complex terrain. So, despite Ye Feng's frantic maneuvers, the fish-man, though biting very tightly, was never able to truly catch up with Ye Feng.

"Right! Sharp turn! Dive, then rapidly ascend..."

Under Ye Feng's control, the giant fish performed various difficult maneuvers. The chase between the two created intense currents that snapped many of the lake's underwater plants. The magic released by the fishman behind them even broke some rocks, causing the water in the vicinity to become murky.

The murky water should have made it easier for Ye Feng to escape, but unfortunately the merman could use magic. So the murky water obstructed the vision of the big fish and Ye Feng, but it didn't affect the merman much. This caused the distance between the two to close once again.

"No, this won't do. If we continue like this, we'll be caught by this murmured fish sooner or later. And it's been almost half an hour already. We can't play with him anymore." With a muttered voice, Ye Feng ordered the big fish to leave the area and head back to where they had encountered the murmured fish.

They're currently holding a three-way battle in Black Lake, and the challenge is to find what belongs to them hidden in the lake within one hour.

Black Lake is the murlocs' home turf, and they are holding a competition there now. As the 'hosts,' the murlocs can't possibly not participate. Moreover, the clue to the golden egg is the murlocs' song. All this evidence suggests that the murlocs of Black Lake are guarding those things.

Therefore, what they need to find in the competition is most likely near the place where the fishmen just attacked.

As it turned out, Ye Feng's idea was absolutely correct.

Just as he suspected, the things they took were not far from where he had been attacked earlier, but he hadn't noticed them immediately because the light at the bottom of the lake wasn't very good and the aquatic plants were dense and long.

Of course, it was also largely due to being attacked; otherwise, it would have been discovered if it had continued swimming a distance further.

Now, Ye Feng, who had been playing a game of "chase and run" with the fishman for a while, returned to fight back, but what awaited him was not the so-called victory, but several fishmen.

Yes, it's completely different from the movie where you can find someone and rescue them. The moment Ye Feng's giant fish swam towards what was already visible, several fishmen rushed out from the bottom of the lake and blocked Ye Feng's path.

Almost the instant it emerged, a violent current surged forth. Fortunately, Ye Feng had some experience and immediately commanded the big fish to turn around upon sensing the abnormal current.

Because Ye Feng didn't want to show his face and wanted to increase the playability of the game, these fishmen didn't see him. Therefore, the moment their first attack failed, they launched a second attack.

"Armor protection!"

At this moment, Ye Feng finally used his third spell, but this spell was not used on himself, but directly on his temporary 'mount', the big fish.

With the armor protecting it, the big fish ignored most of the magic cast by the merfolk. While constantly moving to avoid being hit by more magic and causing damage, it rushed toward the five personal items that were tied up at top speed.
