It wasn't just Chu Yang who was suffering; Qi Luo, who had been severely struck by Wood Release, was also in pain.

The power of Wood Release is undeniable.

That blow displaced Quirrell's internal organs.

It's no exaggeration to say that he was half dead. If he hadn't run fast, Voldemort would have had to switch to a temporary Horcrux on the spot.

Even if they manage to escape, it will take at least a month or two for them to recover.

This made it difficult for Quirrell to continue teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. Regardless of whether Dumbledore was aware of his identity, Voldemort did not want him to continue appearing in front of people.

That very night, Quirrell disappeared from Hogwarts without a sound.

The following day, upon learning the news, Dumbledore was not relieved by Quirrell's disappearance. He knew that Voldemort, without obtaining the Philosopher's Stone, would not leave Hogwarts easily.

They must be hiding somewhere in the castle.

This castle, with its thousand-year history, holds too many secrets for even Dumbledore to fully comprehend.

Even if Voldemort tries to hide, it will be difficult for him to find his opponent.

With Voldemort and Quirrell now operating in the shadows, they have undoubtedly become even more threatening, making it imperative for Chu Yang to temporarily leave Hogwarts.

Before leaving, Chu Yang, with Dumbledore's permission, went to the Forbidden Forest again and successfully found the Beating Willow. After not seeing it for several months, the Beating Willow's huge body had grown even taller, like an ancient tree that had grown for thousands of years.

After infusing the Willow with some natural magic, it slowly sat down, like a well-fed child falling into a deep sleep.

Chu Yang ignored it and took out the leaf that Ferrenze had given him, put it to his lips and blew on it to call for the other party's arrival.

A unique melody echoed through the forbidden forest, and soon the sound of horses' hooves came from the depths of the forest.

With his near-perfect face, Ferenze leaped up and stood tall beside Chu Yang, smiling as he said, "Respected Mr. Chu Yang, we meet again."

Chu Yang got straight to the point: "I have some things I hope you can help me with."

Ferenze bowed slightly and said sincerely, "Please speak. As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best to fulfill your request."

Just as Chu Yang was about to speak, the sleeping Da Ren Liu seemed to sense Ference's presence and suddenly woke up.

The awakening of the colossal creature caused the surrounding area to shake violently, as if the entire Forbidden Forest was about to collapse.

The willow tree lashed out at Ferenze with its steel-hard branches.

It thought that Ferenze would pose a threat to Chu Yang, so it launched an attack instinctively!

Caught off guard, Ferenze was struck by the branch and flew past Chu Yang's eyes.

Chu Yang looked up angrily and said, "You idiot, why do you always hit your own people!"

The body of Liu Xiongwei, who had hit him, trembled violently. Chu Yang's roar made it realize that it had made a mistake. It quickly gathered up all the branches on its body and curled up like a child.

"Ferenze, are you alright?"

"Oh, I'm okay, just a little sore all over, I think I broke a rib..."

Ferenze limped back with a wry smile. Chu Yang quickly stepped forward, cast a spell to reset his broken ribs, and then used natural magic to heal his wounds.

Ferenze trembled with excitement as he felt this great power. His gaze toward Chu Yang became even more reverent. To him, the natural magic emanating from Chu Yang was the highest blessing from Mother Nature.

If it weren't for the fear of frightening Chu Yang, Ferenze would have even wanted to swear his loyalty to this young wizard with Eastern blood right here.

"Is that the legendary war tree?" Ferenze murmured, gazing up at the majestic and imposing Willow Tree. "When I was a child, I heard the elders of my tribe talk about these incredibly powerful and magical creatures. They were the guardians of nature, but now they have vanished without a trace, with only a few tree spirits still active in the forest..."

Chu Yang curled his lip, "This is a bullshit war tree, it's not even a tree spirit guardian, it's just an ordinary, unremarkable willow tree!"

Ferenze paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Although I don't have much experience, I've never heard of a 'beating willow' growing to this extent."

Chu Yang looked up at the towering, man-beating willow tree, which was as tall as Optimus Prime.

Ok.

I retract the word "ordinary".

“The mysterious man from last time might come back to the Forbidden Forest to hunt unicorns again.” Chu Yang pointed to the Man-Beating Willow, which was currently in a state of self-isolation, and said, “I called you here because I hope you can help protect the unicorn population with it.”

Ferenczek immediately nodded in agreement:

"No problem, I've been patrolling the forbidden forest since last night."

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Chu Yang said with a smile, "This guy is a bit slow, so you'll have to keep an eye on him for me."

After dealing with the Whomping Willow, Chu Yang left the Forbidden Forest and went to Hagrid's hut, where Dumbledore was discussing some things with Hagrid.

Dumbledore showed no surprise at Chu Yang's entrance, as if he already knew he had been to the Forbidden Forest.

"Professor Dumbledore, may I ask you a favor before I leave?" Chu Yang looked at him and said bluntly.

"What is it?" Dumbledore didn't answer immediately, but asked cautiously. He had to admit that he was a little afraid of Chu Yang's ability to cause trouble.

“I want to learn Apparition.” Chu Yang looked directly at Dumbledore and said, “Given my current situation, I think I will be safer after learning this spell.”

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then reminded him, "This spell can only be learned by students over the age of 17. Do you know why?"

Chu Yang nodded and replied, "The process of Apparition puts a considerable burden on the human body and requires a high degree of mental concentration. If one is not careful, a life-threatening accident can occur."

Dumbledore said, “Young wizards your age often have difficulty controlling their thoughts. If, during the transfer, your will to go somewhere is not strong enough, the spell will be interrupted, which is a minor matter. More importantly, your body will be separated in the process.”

"That is, what is commonly known as the split spell." Chu Yang took over the conversation and said solemnly, "Professor Dumbledore, I have thoroughly understood the dangers of this spell."

Hagrid advised from the side, "Chu Yang, you are still too young. Wait a few more years. Generally, only students above the fifth grade are allowed to learn Apparition."

“No, Hagrid, he has the ability to learn this spell.” Dumbledore gave Chu Yang a deep look. “Since you already understand the dangers involved, I respect your will.”

So Dumbledore began teaching Chu Yang how to Apparition in Hagrid's hut.

Hagrid wisely left the cabin, leaving the not-so-spacious space to them.

"Remember, focus, determination, and composure. Stay committed to your chosen goal, concentrate your mind, and feel the changes in your body. Let's start with something closer to home."

As Hagrid listened to Dumbledore's voice outside, his thoughts drifted back to his student days, to the Transfiguration classes where Dumbledore had guided students in casting spells.

A moment later, a figure suddenly appeared, interrupting Hagrid's recollection.

Hagrid looked at Chu Yang in front of him and asked in surprise, "I don't think you came out of the house. How does it feel? Everyone feels dizzy the first time they try it..."

Chu Yang shook his head, his expression unchanged. With his physique, the ability to teleport was not something that would make him feel uncomfortable.

"A genius is a genius. It would take a normal person a long time to learn this, but you mastered it in ten minutes," Hagrid said with envy.

"It's just moving from inside the house to outside, it's not that difficult," Chu Yang laughed. "Come praise me when I can travel from London all the way back to the vicinity of the school in one go."

Apparition cannot be used inside Hogwarts, so under normal circumstances, you can only move around using the area around the school as an anchor point.

squeak~

Dumbledore pushed open the door and slowly walked out, saying, "You've grasped the essentials. How about trying Diagon Alley? I'll be watching you from the side."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang immediately began to use Apparition in front of Dumbledore. The image of Ollivander's Wand Shop appeared in his mind, and the surrounding space distorted, with an invisible pressure surging from all directions.

Soon, the pressure dissipated, and when Chu Yang came to his senses, he was already standing in the wand shop, where Mr. Ollivander was tidying up the shelves.

The next second, Dumbledore suddenly appeared beside Chu Yang and chuckled softly, "You never intended to go back to London, did you? You just wanted to come here as an apprentice?"

Chu Yang looked at him in surprise, thinking to himself that the saying "old people are wise" was absolutely true, he could actually guess this!

“That’s fine, actually.” Dumbledore nodded. “Then you can stay with Mr. Ollivander. I’m sure he’ll take good care of you.”

At that moment, Ollivander, who had heard the noise, came out.

They looked at Dumbledore and Chu Yang in surprise.

"What happened?" Mr. Ollivander asked curiously.

At this time, neither Dumbledore nor Chu Yang should be here.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "It's nothing. Chu Yang is on holiday early starting today. Didn't you want to take him on as an apprentice? It's a good opportunity for him to learn something from you."

Ollivander gave Dumbledore a deep look, his profound gaze seeming to tell a story, before nodding in agreement, "I'd love for him to come, and I'll take good care of him."

"Then I'll trouble you." Dumbledore thanked him, then bent down and whispered in Chu Yang's ear, "You can stay here. You don't need to come back with me. As for your luggage, I'll have it sent here."

After saying that, Dumbledore used Apparition and disappeared.

Thus, Chu Yang became the first freshman to leave school since the start of the semester, and his early vacation filled his classmates with envy.

But not long after Chu Yang left school, rumors began to circulate throughout the school.

Some say he was expelled from school for violating school rules.

Some people say he offended someone he shouldn't have offended.

Hermione, Ron, Harry, Neville, and other classmates who were usually close to Chu Yang were all very worried about this.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Draco, on the other hand, is experiencing his first "spring" at Hogwarts.

Without Chu Yang, he could finally stand tall and look down on others with his family background, and he no longer had to worry about the pressure from his father. He quickly adopted an arrogant attitude of "Heaven is number one, I am number two"!

Draco not only swaggered into Chu Yang's dormitory, but also began to frequently target students who were usually on good terms with Chu Yang.

When the rumors spread to every corner of Hogwarts, Dumbledore did not specifically explain why Chu Yang left.

After leaving school, Chu Yang became an apprentice at a wand shop.

Learn the wand-making process from the Ollivander system.

Working as an apprentice at the wand shop was actually no different from studying at school; even the daily routine was similar. The only difference was that Chu Yang had fewer opportunities to read free books.
