Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

"Get down here!"

"Boom"

A powerful whip kick struck Voldemort squarely in the stomach, turning him into a boiled shrimp before sending him crashing to the ground with a thud.

Before being kicked away and knocked unconscious, Voldemort vaguely heard a sentence.

"Holy crap, it looks like it's broken. Dumbledore isn't going to make me pay for it, is he?"

After saying those words, Voldemort's consciousness completely plunged into darkness.

At this moment, Ye Feng was looking at the Triwizard Tournament trophy, which was covered in cracks, with a pained expression. It was something he had kicked away along with Voldemort.

"Or... should I pretend I didn't see anything?" Ye Feng murmured, pretending he hadn't seen anything. He casually withdrew his leg, landed back on the ground, and disappeared into the maze.

After Ye Feng disappeared, the trophy that had almost been kicked to pieces somehow ended up in Voldemort's arms. The instant the trophy landed in Voldemort's arms, Voldemort vanished in a flash of light.

As Voldemort disappeared, the transparent wall that had sealed off the entire maze also vanished, and the maze was once again open to traffic. The tattered blanket flew back to the center of the maze.

All of this was as if nothing had happened, and as the maze opened, Dumbledore and his companions outside also noticed the situation.

"It seems this competition is coming to an end. Hopefully, that kid Ye Feng won't cause any major trouble."

Dumbledore meant that Ye Feng shouldn't cause too much trouble, not that he shouldn't cause any trouble at all, but no one thought there was anything wrong with what Dumbledore said.

Even the deans and others from the other two schools have gradually come to 'know' Ye Feng, so they are very clear about what kind of person Ye Feng really is.

It was precisely because they knew what kind of person Ye Feng was that they were certain that something unexpected would happen in this competition when the maze was sealed off.

They are now just hoping that this little mishap isn't too big, otherwise they'll have to find a way to remedy the situation and minimize the impact.

Yes, they also knew that Ye Feng could usually handle any mess he made, but when Ye Feng did handle these messes, he really only handled those messes; he never cared about the subsequent consequences.

Although they don't need to worry about any problems, this is a three-way battle for supremacy, a competition that the entire magic world takes very seriously, so there are quite a few reporters.

If Ye Feng makes a huge blunder, it could have a devastating impact on the entire magic world if word gets out.

They never underestimated Ye Feng's influence, even though he never exposed himself to the public eye, let alone made the entire wizarding world aware of his existence like Harry did.

However, he has already subtly influenced the entire magical world.

For example, the simplest and most common talisman.

You might not know Harry in the wizarding world, or even the mysterious Voldemort, but you've definitely heard of, or even bought and used, talismans.

So the moment the maze opened, Dumbledore and his companions perked up.

There's no other way; when facing Ye Feng, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to be on your guard at all.

However, even though they were mentally prepared, they were still a little stunned when they saw the maze after it was unsealed.

"No... Albus, look quickly, isn't that the Goblet of Fire trophy floating above the maze?"

Dumbledore: (￣ェ￣;)

"Hmm...it seems so."

In fact, Dumbledore saw it earlier than them, and saw it more clearly. But it was precisely because they saw it earlier and saw it more clearly that he dared not speak, because he saw... the Goblet of Fire... cracked.

Yes, Dumbledore saw the Triwizard Tournament trophy, which was now floating above the maze and emitting a faint glow... It was cracked, and the trophy was covered with fine cracks.

"I wonder if restoring it to its original state would be effective for this ancient magical artifact that has been passed down for hundreds of years..."

Everyone: [?_??]

"Headmaster Dumbledore, what were you just saying?"

Dumbledore: (￣ω￣;)

"Oh, it's nothing. I just meant the competition is finally almost over, and I wonder who will win the championship."

"Yes, this match has been going on for so long, it's finally time to see a winner..."

Dumbledore didn't hear what was said after that, because he was recalling the various healing spells he had learned or knew.

Meanwhile, in the maze, Harry and his friends were rushing towards the championship trophy in the sky at top speed.

The moment the maze was unsealed, they knew Voldemort had been defeated. Although they didn't know how he was defeated, all they needed to know was that he had been defeated.

Now that Voldemort has been dealt with, the next step is naturally to grab the trophy and win the championship.

322 Various methods

The Triwizard Tournament is slightly different from ordinary competitions. It is neither a points system nor an elimination system, but has its own set of mechanisms.

Although the three-way battle generates points and rankings during the competition, it does not directly affect the final result of winning the championship, for a simple reason.

It doesn't use a points system, so the number of points won't directly make you the champion. It just ranks you and determines your entry order in the final match.

Yes, the first two matches were just a prelude to the final match, essentially preliminary rounds, and did not directly affect the final result.

So, although Krum and Fleur were at a disadvantage in the first two rounds and didn't win a single game, it didn't affect their chances of winning the championship.

Therefore, when Voldemort was defeated and the maze was unsealed, both Harry and Cedric, as well as Krum and Fleur, abandoned each other and rushed toward the trophy as fast as they could the moment they realized the maze had changed.

However, there will always be some mavericks, like our protagonist Ye Feng, who is completely different from Harry and the others.

While Harry and his friends rushed toward the trophy as fast as they could, all wanting to be the first to touch it and win the championship, Ye Feng ran away as fast as he could, keeping a great distance from the trophy, as if it were something terrifying.

Of course, he didn't just keep running outwards. Instead, after running a certain distance, he would rush back in another direction, heading towards the location of the trophy, his face filled with frustration and anxiety.

It's fair to say that Ye Feng is now exactly the kind of person who is about to miss out on the championship. His acting skills and demeanor are so good that it would be a disservice to his hard work not to give him an Oscar.

Of course, the others didn't know this. They all thought that Ye Feng was just unlucky because his previous position was too far from the trophy, so he couldn't catch up and compete with them.

This is exactly what Ye Feng wanted to create, because he knew best what the trophy was really like.

Of course, he was the one who caused the trouble, so in the end he certainly couldn't escape responsibility.

However, if he shares some of the responsibility, he won't be the first to be targeted, and as long as he isn't instantly killed by concentrated fire, he can recover.

Therefore, for his own 'safety', Ye Feng could only have one of them keep an eye on things for the time being.

Whether that person is Harry, Cedric, Krum, or Fleur, it doesn't matter. He just needs them to share the burden a little.

Of course, he will definitely give them sufficient compensation afterward, after all, Ye Feng has never mistreated his 'own people'.

Because Ye Feng's acting was so convincing, no one noticed anything amiss. Even Cedric, who was lucky enough to be close and the fastest to rush towards the trophy, still didn't notice anything unusual when he was about to touch it.

As is well known, in the world of Hogwarts, flying usually requires the use of a flying broom, as this is the most commonly used, most common, and most economical flying tool for wizards in the Harry Potter world.

The trophy was floating in the air at that moment, and they had to fly to get it, so they took out their flying brooms as they rushed forward.

After nearly a year of studying at Hogwarts, although Krum and Fleur are still not as good as veterans like Ye Feng in many things, they are not far behind in things like flying brooms, which can be quickly caught up with or even surpassed by spending money.

Of course, the exact number of "how much" is questionable, because although the flying broomstick has been "open sourced," some things cannot be learned or even surpassed in a short time.

Therefore, although Fleur and Krum also used heavy flying brooms, they were not as fast as Harry and Cedric, and even Ye Feng, who was further away, almost caught up with them.

After fighting their way to the final hurdle, now that they've reached the last step, no one wants to fall at this final hurdle, so everyone is giving it their all at this moment.

It can only be said that those who can become the best in the hospital are not simple people.

The first to erupt was Hibiscus.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, the Veela bloodline did indeed give her an unparalleled advantage, which was especially evident in mental magic such as charm.

However, she did not make a move against Ye Feng, who was about to catch up with and surpass them, because she had already tried more than once before.

Whether she used magic, directly displayed her feminine charm, or even openly expressed her feelings by pressing herself against him and offering a passionate kiss—she was practically stripping naked—none of it worked on Ye Feng.

If Ye Feng hadn't exhibited the 'instincts' of a teenage boy when facing her, she would have suspected that he either didn't like girls or was impotent.

Because she had already tried and knew that none of these methods would work on Ye Feng, Fleur did not attack Ye Feng, but instead turned her attention to Krum and Harry.

It has to be said that Fleur's charm is truly immense. She simply flicked her hair, chuckled, and then cast a very ordinary mental spell, which made Harry and Cedric stare at her intently, and they almost fell off their flying brooms because they forgot to control them.

Krum was completely distracted, and he let go of the flying broomstick with both hands and reached out towards Hibiscus.

There's nothing wrong with what he's doing; at most, he'll just fall headfirst. But behind him is Ye Feng, who's about to overtake him.

Almost in the instant he lost his focus, the flying broom lost control. Not only did the speed of the uncontrolled flying broom plummet instantly, but it also veered directly towards Ye Feng's location.

When two flying brooms are moving at similar speeds and are close in distance, if one of them suddenly changes direction or slows down, they may collide violently in the next second.

This is the situation Ye Feng is facing right now.

At the critical moment, Ye Feng, as if he had foreseen the future, lifted the handle and raised the flying broom, directly increasing the output of magic power.

"boom!"

Although Ye Feng had anticipated this, the two were simply too close together and moving at extremely high speeds, so they eventually collided and both spun downwards.

"Damn it!"

Ye Feng, who had fallen out of control due to the collision with the flying broom, slammed his fist on the ground in 'anger,' his face showing confusion and anger.

"So close! So close to catching up!"

On the other side, Krum, who had recovered, was even more annoyed than Ye Feng. However, he did not give up like Ye Feng did. Instead, he got back on his flying broom and charged out again.

"Tsk, they're really tenacious, but it seems a bit..."

"boom!"

Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, Krum's flying broom exploded with a loud bang, followed by a burst of flame several meters long.

The scorching and rapid flames spewed out, transforming into immense power that caused Krum to vanish in an instant, leaving Ye Feng momentarily stunned.

"It just goes to show, as expected of a combat magic academy from the north, their tradition of using immense strength to send bricks flying is truly inherited." 948324092
