Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

Of course, most of these people don't buy heavy motorcycles for modification or anything. They buy them simply because of their speed, comfort, and safety, which far surpasses that of ordinary flying brooms. After all, some people have tried using a heavy motorcycle at full power and it can send a Soul Eater flying dozens of meters away and scare it away.

Putting everything else aside, this alone makes it worthwhile for wizards in the magical world to buy. After all, Dementors are known as one of the most terrifying magical creatures, and now a flying broomstick can handle them, so it's definitely worth it.

Ye Feng, on the other hand, devoted himself wholeheartedly to designing and manufacturing the race track.

Although the competition itself was already quite exciting and challenging, Ye Feng felt it wasn't thrilling enough, so he personally designed a complex race track. Part of this track was even located in the Forbidden Forest and Black Lake, and Ye Feng also set up many 'surprises'.

After a full month and seven days of hard work, Ye Feng's racetrack was finally completed. At the same time, a certain Dark Lord hiding in the notebook finally succeeded in bewitching a cute little girl and tricked her into opening the Chamber of Secrets left by the first Headmaster of Slytherin at Hogwarts on this dark and windy night.

(~O~)Oh~~~

After a busy afternoon, Ye Feng returned to the academy with a big yawn after finally finishing the track. He had spent a lot of time and effort preparing various 'surprises' for the track, but it was all worth it.

As Ye Feng walked towards the dormitory, imagining the expressions of these 'cuties' during the competition when they encountered the surprise he had specially prepared, a small figure with fiery red hair flashed past Ye Feng's eyes.

[?_??]

"That's... Ginny?"

Although Gryffindor students are known for their adventurous spirit, especially after Ye Feng's invisibility charm made nighttime outings a regular occurrence—you could say you'd be embarrassed to call yourself a Gryffindor if you hadn't gone out at least three times a year—it's still rare for them to go out alone at night, especially for girls.

"Something's not right. Is she... being bewitched and controlled?" Although Ginny disappeared from his sight in a flash, Ye Feng could tell at a glance that something was wrong with her, so he followed her.

Because of his cultivation, Ye Feng was able to conceal his figure and aura, but this was not something that Ginny, who was under his bewitching control, could detect. Therefore, Ye Feng followed Ginny to the abandoned washroom without any trouble.

When Ye Feng saw Ginny speaking in a strange voice, and then the sink and other things in the bathroom suddenly started changing after she finished speaking, Ye Feng roughly guessed what was going on.

"Crack~"

Seeing this, Ye Feng slapped his forehead and smiled helplessly, saying, "I've been so busy that I've completely forgotten about Voldemort."

"Although the basilisk is 'not dangerous' and did not cause any casualties in the original story, it still caused quite a stir. Now the flying broomstick competition is about to begin, and those who have signed up are busy modifying their flying broomsticks. We can't let you come out and cause trouble at this time."

As he murmured, Ye Feng's figure flashed, and the next second he appeared in front of the secret room entrance that appeared after the washbasin was moved. He reached out and grabbed Ginny, who was about to jump into the entrance. A second before he hugged Ginny, Ye Feng had already snatched the diary she was holding.

Ginny:!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

The instant Ye Feng took the diary, he dispelled Voldemort's bewitching control. In other words, it was as if Ginny 'woke up' to find herself in an unfamiliar place, and was being hugged from behind by someone, which startled her so much that she trembled.

Fortunately, Ye Feng had also considered this, so while he was waking Ginny up, he also whispered, "Don't be nervous, it's me."

Ginny: /(//o/ω/o//)/

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Ginny, who was initially in a state of panic, instantly became shy. After all, although they knew each other and were quite familiar with each other, they had never engaged in such intimate actions before. At most, they would eat together or pass each other things, and there was almost no physical contact between them. So when she realized that it was Ye Feng who was hugging her, Ginny's face instantly turned red.

And Voldemort…

(キ｀?Д??)!!

Just when Voldemort thought his plan was more than halfway done and the secret room was open, someone suddenly appeared and snatched away the little girl he had been trying to seduce. This enraged Voldemort, but when he saw who had intercepted him, he felt a strange, instinctive fear.

Although he instinctively sensed something was wrong, he couldn't stop now that things had progressed this far. So Voldemort launched a mental attack on Ye Feng in an attempt to snatch Ginny back, and he even summoned the basilisk from within the dungeon.

Once the basilisk was summoned, this guy who appeared out of nowhere would become the first 'sacrifice' in his plan. But the next second, Voldemort was terrified because Ye Feng glanced at him.

Ye Feng: →_→

Voldemort: 0ДQ

Just one glance at Voldemort gave me the illusion that I was about to explode and die; really, one more look and I would explode.

Chapter 70 A Busy Transformation

Although it was just a brief glance, Voldemort found that his mental attack melted away like thin snow under the scorching sun. Even more terrifying was that under that gaze, the soul residing in the diary felt like it was about to explode and turn to ashes. This frightened him so much that he instantly turned into a quail and dared not move.

Seeing that Voldemort had quieted down, Ye Feng waved his hand to restore the bathroom to its original state. It was only then that he realized he was still holding Ginny, so he quickly let go of her and said, "What happened tonight is a secret between us. I hope you won't tell anyone, okay?"

Ye Feng didn't want Ginny to tell anyone, naturally so that he could leave the 'final exams' for Harry and the others to cram in. However, Ginny might not have thought that way. But what she really thought, probably no one but herself knew.

However, ever since that day, whenever Ginny was alone with Ye Feng for a while, her face would turn rosy, which puzzled Ye Feng. But considering that Ginny was a girl, Ye Feng thought it was normal and didn't think much of it.

As for the diary, Ye Feng casually tossed it into his own dorm room after sending Ginny back. However, perhaps because its size and height were just right, Little Grey saw it and immediately dragged it to use as a 'dining table'. After eating, it liked to use it to lick its mouth.

Voldemort: (「▼皿▼)

Ye Feng: →_→

Voldemort: ●|￣|＿

Of course, Voldemort did try to bewitch and control Little Grey when Ye Feng wasn't around, but you should know that besides tender chicken breast, Little Grey ate mostly various pills every day.

Don't forget that when Ye Feng returned from his vacation, he brought back a whole set of alchemy furnaces. In order to understand the characteristics of each furnace and the temperature of each furnace, Ye Feng opened the furnaces quite a few times.

Although the success rate of such experimental furnace openings is generally not very high, the quantity is there. Moreover, Ye Feng's alchemy is not like that of some broken furnaces where only one pill is produced per furnace. As long as he succeeds, there will be at least nine pills. If the furnace is larger and contains more medicinal materials, then there will be at least thirty-six pills, and if there are more, it can reach eighty-one or even one hundred and eight pills.

So these days, Little Grey has been eating pills like candy. For Voldemort's incomplete spiritual power to try to bewitch and control an owl that is eating pills like candy and has obviously undergone a mutation is no different from courting death.

Ye Feng was well aware of this, but he wasn't worried at all, because he had fed many of the pills he used for practicing martial arts to the cats and dogs in the village before.

Although at the beginning, many cats and dogs vomited and had diarrhea after eating the pills, and some even seemed to lose their souls, this became less frequent as Ye Feng became more skilled. However, Ye Feng liked to 'innovate,' so although many of these pills had excellent effects on these cats and dogs, the process was evident from the nickname 'even dogs dislike' that circulated among the dog pack.

Of course, although Ye Feng was called "disliked by even the dogs" by the dogs in their village, they would definitely rush to his aid immediately if anything happened to Ye Feng or his family. This was because someone had once become rich and arrogantly led a so-called fighting dog back to the village, and in order to show off, ordered his dog to bite a big yellow dog in the same village. And the result was...

That night, the nouveau riche who had just returned from outside invited several neighboring families to eat dog meat. The owner of the big yellow dog was a guest of honor. According to that person, the newly rich guy offered 50,000 yuan to buy the dog, but the owner of the dog refused because he had been present at the battle.

If it were you, would you sell your beloved dog after watching it paw a bull so badly it could barely crawl, then come running back to you frolicking around? Even if 50,000 yuan is a huge sum of money these days.

Afterwards, when they saw that this majestic yellow dog was only considered average among the village's dogs, and that no matter what kind of dog or cat it was, it would tuck its tail between its legs and run away when it saw Ye Feng, Ye Feng's status in their hearts was elevated significantly.

Ye Feng's pills only took a few to have such an effect on animals, and Little Grey was eating them like candy. So let alone Voldemort who was just a fragment of his soul, it was uncertain whether even a fully-fledged Voldemort could defeat Little Grey. Therefore, Ye Feng was not worried about Little Grey's safety at all.

Without Voldemort's interference, the flying broomstick competition was fast approaching, and as the competition drew nearer, the atmosphere at Hogwarts became noticeably tense. Even Harry and Ron, who usually loved to go out at night, could no longer be seen outside at night, and they began to devote all their energy to modifying their flying broomsticks.

Modifying a flying broom isn't as simple as just replacing a part. When modifying it, you also need to consider whether the added magic will conflict, whether the magical materials used for modification are suitable for this type of magic circle, and whether the added materials will conflict with the original magic of the parts, causing explosions or failures, etc. That's why the library is often full of people during this period.

Perhaps this is why no one at Hogwarts objected, and even Snape got involved.

Besides Dumbledore, Snape was the main opponent in this competition, as he was a Potions professor and a famous potions expert in the wizarding world, and the use of 'tools' was not prohibited in the Flying Broomstick Contest.

Imagine this: when Dumbledore used magic to force everyone back and was about to leave everyone else in the dust to win the championship, Snape waved his hand and a flurry of potions filled the air. Even Dumbledore, who was hailed as the greatest wizard in the world, would probably be terrified by that scene.

Ye Feng's modifications were simpler; he just added a "billion-point" weapon. He also helped Zhang Qiu, Hermione, Luna, and Ginny modify their flying brooms, but the modifications were mainly focused on defense and safety, emphasizing participation.

For example, Zhang Qiu's flying broom, Leaf Wind, not only had immortality, rebound, and power-draining spells attached to it, but also a high-grade spirit stone was inserted to act as an energy source for Shi Da Ke's 'headlights', allowing her to 'illuminate the road ahead'.

Tony's style, you deserve to own it!

Hermione's basic setup is the same, except that the 'headlights' have been replaced with two 'emitters' that can amplify the power of magic by twenty times.

Luna and Ginny were probably a little reserved since they were new there, and felt that things were a bit unfriendly, so both girls asked to be as inconspicuous as possible. Therefore, Ye Feng created a magic circle for them to reduce their presence, and the effect was roughly like this:

"Hey~"

A: Was that Gryffindor that just rushed past?

B: Did someone just pass by?

A: Don't try to distract me with this kind of talk. I'm definitely going to win this competition!

B: Dream on! The championship is mine!

As for Harry and his friends, Ye Feng said, "I'm already giving you a 5% discount on the modification materials, and charging only the cost price for inscribing the spell array is already giving you a lot of face. You actually want me to help you modify it? Dream on! I'm already being polite by not turning it into something that blows up. After all, this competition isn't a team competition, it's an individual one!"

Chapter 71 The game begins

Amidst much anticipation, the first Hogwarts Flying Broomstick Contest officially commenced. As both the headmaster of Hogwarts and a participant, Dumbledore naturally took the lead in unveiling the ceremony and delivered a speech.

"Today is the day of the first annual Flying Broomstick Contest. I hope all the participants and spectators have a great time."

"Of course, both participants and spectators need to pay close attention to one thing: ensure your safety during the competition. If possible, I hope that participants will stop when they are at it and not go too far against other participants. I don't want anything bad to happen on this day that should be joyful."

As he said this, Dumbledore glanced in the direction of Ye Feng and... the team of off-campus participants who had been specially approved to participate in the competition.

Yes, because the Flying Broomstick Contest has been so widely publicized, other schools and many adult wizards have joined forces to participate.

Dumbledore initially refused, but the Ministry of Magic exerted direct pressure, and other magic schools offered substantial prizes. As a result, Dumbledore eventually said that what they were offering was too much... the pressure was too great, so he was forced (too impatient) to agree.

Of course, Dumbledore strongly condemned the fact that a certain 'remnant of the old era' had infiltrated the group, but the latter said he would not accept the condemnation, so Dumbledore had no choice but to pretend he hadn't seen it.

As for Ye Feng, after feeling Dumbledore's threatening gaze, he immediately said that he promised not to be the first to use 'large-scale' or 'high-power' magic, but if someone used it on him first, then don't blame him for being impolite.

Of course, Ye Feng also stated that he had the right to interpret this 'large-scale' and 'destructive' magic independently. However, in order to avoid making the competition less interesting and suspenseful, Ye Feng would not use non-magical abilities. Otherwise, with his strength, he could easily use a teleportation technique and everyone else would have to fight to the death for second place, because there would be no suspense at all for first place.

Seeing that Ye Feng 'understood' what he meant, Dumbledore on the stage withdrew his gaze and said loudly, "That's all I have to say. Now, please welcome Professor McGonagall to preside over the competition, as I am also one of the participants."

As soon as Dumbledore said this, everyone below smiled kindly, even those from other schools. Only one short-haired, sharp-looking man looked at Dumbledore with a gaze full of fighting spirit.

"Albus, this time I will definitely defeat you completely!"

...

"Everyone is in your place!"

With McGonagall's call, the participants quickly mounted their flying brooms and arrived at the starting line. Since the flying brooms flew in the air, there was no need to distinguish between front and back or different tracks; everyone just had to wait at the starting line. There was no height limit, and all the people could be squeezed in.

And so, a spectacular and awe-inspiring scene unfolded.

Just like the scenes in TV movies depicting a large number of arrows during an army battle, a huge group of people riding heavy motorcycles and flying brooms floated above the starting line, looking like a black wall from a distance.

Of course, if you zoom in, you'll find that these 'black spots' are quite 'unique'. After all, everyone's aesthetics and styles are different, and besides, it's the magical world. Do you expect people who use magic to have any knowledge of fluid dynamics or aerodynamics? So of course, they'll modify them in the way that looks good and is unique.

Therefore, you can see the shell being modified into a giant male... simply because of the flying broom, and the Pegasus being modified into a winged creature, and...

"A... a carriage? What the heck!"

When Ye Feng saw the flying broomstick that had been modified into the shape of a classic carriage, he almost couldn't hold his breath, because that carriage really was just a carriage; there was no tether in front of it, and the driver...

Ye Feng was at a loss for words, because the guy was sitting on the roof of the carriage, holding the reins.

Of course, besides these oddballs, there are quite a few that are relatively normal. For example, Harry's group is quite normal, except for having a few different colored paint jobs and some extra accessories.

As for Ye Feng, although his current style should be the most normal according to the original art style of heavy motorcycles, this is the magical world, not some science fiction future world. So, although his various modifications and attachments look very natural and full of technological beauty, he is definitely an anomaly among the contestants here.

The reason is that the two magic guns on either side of his car, which can rotate 3,600 times per breath, are considered relatively ordinary among these things. This is also why Dumbledore specifically warned Ye Feng. Dumbledore sensed the aura of death in the 'monster' that Ye Feng had modified. The implications of this are self-evident.

Of course, Ye Feng wouldn't normally use these things, because they weren't originally intended for competitions, and many were still in the experimental stage, so their power might be a bit outrageous. He also couldn't control the force very well, so Ye Feng wouldn't use any of the functions that Dumbledore felt could threaten him.

However, this does not mean that Ye Feng's threat has diminished. On the contrary, it is precisely because of this that Ye Feng's threat to others has increased, because who knows what kind of weird things Ye Feng will come up with to hinder his opponents after he can no longer directly cause damage to them.

Therefore, Dumbledore, who was preparing for takeoff on the track, listed Ye Feng as his number one competitor. However, Dumbledore, who was mostly focused on guarding against Ye Feng, did not notice that more than half of the people participating in the competition were looking at him with strange eyes.

"Hey, I just saw you two chatting together. What were you whispering about?"

"Oh, we're discussing how to ambush Headmaster Dumbledore from both sides."
