Xia Zhi put Hermione down and was glared at several times by the little witch, who seemed to be both happy and angry.

Inside the passage where the walls were still seeping water, the four walked a short distance and heard a rustling sound, like the flapping of wings.

They arrived at a spacious hall and watched as many glittering, winged keys flew around in the sky.

Opposite the room was a heavy wooden door, and in the corner was a flying broom.

Seeing such obvious task hints, the young wizards quickly figured out how to complete the level.

"So we need to find the key to open this door, and then catch it with a flying broom!"

Harry was eager to try, but Xia Zhi gently shook her head.

"No need to bother."

Summer Solstice stretched out her right hand and pointed it at the key in the sky.

"Thunder in the Palm!"

boom!

This time, Xia Zhi's palm lightning was like a spider web, or a thrown bag, enveloping all the keys.

Whether it's a copper key, a silver key, or a gold key, they are all conductive.

The crackling of thunder echoed in the room, and all the keys' wings were burned and fell from the sky, making a crisp, metallic clanging sound.

The wings of these keys were damaged by lightning, rendering them unable to fly. They could only fall to the ground, wriggling like caterpillars.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron: ...

With slightly complicated expressions, they searched the ground and, after several attempts, found the key to open the heavy wooden door and entered the next room.

Chapter 290 Playing Chess with Physics

When the trapdoor was opened, Dumbledore realized that someone had passed through the Cerberus obstacle.

"Music is such a wonderful thing."

He arrived at the fourth-floor corridor with a warm smile on his face, and then saw three people with dizzy heads, one of whom was lying on the ground.

Looking again at the cracked walls in the room, Dumbledore fell silent for a moment.

The way to pass the level seems a little different from what he expected?

Upon seeing Dumbledore, Fluffy let out a mournful cry.

"Ouch!"

Don't do it, daddy!

You didn't say that you'd encounter such a violent little wizard just by guarding a door!

Dumbledore thought about it for a moment and realized that there weren't many junior wizards who could achieve this level.

After all, Fulwei, being a three-headed dog, is a dangerous magical creature that many adult wizards cannot deal with.

Looking at the fist marks remaining on the fur of Lou Williams' head, Dumbledore probably knew who it was.

"Old Celestial Master, Xia Zhi's strength doesn't seem to be just 'average' as you said!"

Meanwhile, Xia Zhi and his group had already reached the fourth level.

There is a huge chessboard here, and every chess piece is taller than them.

Their pieces are black, while the pieces on the opposite side are all white.

That's simple—to get through here, you need to play a game of Wizard's Chess.

Although Ron is very good at Wizard Chess among the young wizards, he has never won against Summer Solstice even once.

All three looked at Xia Zhi, only to find that he was once again surrounded by the golden flames that had just appeared.

"What a fine sandbag! Its body is bathed in golden light, enveloping me!"

Xia Zhi, itching to play, rushed straight to the chessboard.

To catch a thief, first catch the king. Xia Zhi ran like a monkey, covering several meters in two steps, and arrived between the white king and queen.

He swung his two golden fists left and right, slamming them heavily into the two chess pieces.

boom!

These chess pieces are all carved from rock, which looks intimidating, but they are actually not very hard.

An ordinary person could destroy it with a hammer.

After being punched twice by Xia Zhi, the white king and queen died on the spot, shattering into pieces and falling to the ground.

The dust and smoke from the broken chess pieces enveloped Xia Zhi, but at the same time, all the other chess pieces turned their attention to Xia Zhi.

The two bishops beside him swung their meteor hammers and smashed them at Xia Zhi.

But none of them move very fast.

Professor McGonagall, who designed this level, needed to consider that some young wizards might not be able to dodge attacks that were too fast.

But this speed was too slow in Xia Zhi's eyes!

"Advancing Crushing Fist!"

He took two steps to the right and threw another punch, smashing the body of a bishop.

Then, Xia Zhi used her strength to lift up the knight who was standing next to the bishop and was also preparing to attack!

"drink!"

With a roar, he used the knight to smash the chariot in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Zhi swayed to the left, dodging the meteor hammer swung by the bishop behind her.

He turned halfway around and kicked out before the bishop could launch another attack, sending the bishop flying with a bang.

At the same time, the flying bishop also smashed into the knight and chariot on the other side, and the three white pieces shattered at the same time.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Harry, Hermione, and Ron watched as Xia Zhi, surrounded by golden light, leaped and darted about, smashing one chess piece after another as if he were in an empty field.

There was no intention of using a wand or spells throughout the entire process.

Hermione stared for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence.

"This isn't magic!"

Harry and Ron looked on with envy and admiration.

"Is this what an Eastern wizard is like?"

"I really want to learn this too!"

At this moment, Dumbledore also arrived in the room using the Disillusionment Charm.

He watched as Xia Zhi violently shattered all the chess pieces, and felt that even an old man like him might not be able to withstand more than a few punches from Xia Zhi.

"I'm afraid even McGonagall didn't expect her challenge to be overcome like this."

A few minutes later, Xia Zhi emerged from a pile of rubble, covered in dust.

"Clean up!"

He brushed the dust off his clothes, his face beaming with a satisfied smile after venting his frustration.

"This is truly the most exciting Wizards chess game I've ever played!"

The little wizards: (°ー°〃)

Whatever makes you happy!

At that moment, Harry realized what was happening.

"The first trap is Fulvi the Cerberus, which was probably set up by Hagrid. He has a thing for these dangerous magical creatures."

Hermione continued.

"The second trap is the Devil's Net. I've read about it in a book! It was set up by Professor Sprout!"

Ron suddenly realized.

"Then the third challenge involves Professor Flitwick and Mrs. Hodge from the flight class, and this challenge is Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration!"

Summer Solstice nodded gently.

"So there are still the challenges set by Professor Lupin, Professor Snape, and Professor Dumbledore left. I wonder what will happen after we clear them."

The young wizards were very excited when they learned that this was a card-based game set up by the professors.

They moved on to the next room.

The room was pitch black; you couldn't see anything.

Hermione felt she couldn't keep being carried by Summer Solstice, so she took out her wand and waved it.

"Lumos!"

Under the flickering fluorescent light, the group discovered that the room was completely empty, except for a passageway connecting to it.

"No?"

Ron looked puzzled.

Dumbledore thought to himself: Lupin has only been here a few days, so of course he hasn't had time to set up the checkpoints yet.

Harry thought so too, and then he told everyone.

The group walked through the room and arrived at the next checkpoint.

There is only one table here, on which sits a parchment and seven bottles of different shapes.

As soon as the four of them crossed the threshold, two balls of flame appeared behind and in front of them, trapping them in the room.

Behind them, in the room Xia Zhi and the others had just passed through, the flames burning at the door were an eerie purple.

The room ahead was filled with black flames.

These two flames are clearly extraordinary.

"These are potions? This must be a challenge set up by Professor Snape."

Hermione went to the table and began to solve the riddle left by Snape.

Xia Zhi, relying on the Golden Light Spell on her body, leaped around on the purple flames.

"Oh dear, I jumped over it. Oh dear, I jumped over it again! What can you do to me?!"

After Hermione solved the puzzle, they discovered that only one person could advance to the next level.

Because the potion in the bottle that allows one to pass through the black flames is only a small sip.

However, there was still more than half a bottle of the potion that allowed one to return the way they came and pass through the purple flames.

"There's no need to drink the potion, just watch me."

Xia Zhi stood in the black flames and further activated the Golden Light Mantra.

The golden light acted as a barrier, constantly hissing when it came into contact with the black flames.

However, under the suppression of Xia Zhi, the black flames slowly and unwillingly weakened.

The golden light emanating from his body created a gap of more than two feet, enough for the young wizards to pass through.

Hermione: So why did I just solve the mystery?

The four of them passed through the golden light and arrived at the last room.

To Harry, Ron, and Xia Zhi's bewilderment, the room contained the very same Mirror of Erised they had seen before!
