A professional novel website offering the most comfortable reading experience.

Yuxi wasn't a sports enthusiast. For the first ten years of her life, she was mostly a well-behaved girl. Her hobbies were reading, drawing, and playing the violin. If she hadn't inexplicably become an Awakened, her life might have been spent working at a small newspaper, honestly following gossip, writing romance novels, and finding a similarly quiet boy to spend her life with.

However, reality is always too cruel. Because of the scene in her nightmare, Yuxi found Bai Lin. From then on, she never had a peaceful life again. She could never go back to her carefree student days. From being Bai Lin's assistant to going through many life-and-death situations, Yuxi actually discovered a brave side from the depths of her heart. From then on, she was unstoppable. Now, if she wore the Sorting Hat, she would definitely be sorted into Gryffindor.

Holding the golden cup, Youxi leaped into the air, barely dodging Iron Belly's dragon flames. She rolled on the ground, but got up and kept running without stopping. Iron Belly roared and chased after Youxi with all four limbs moving. Meanwhile, the outer door of the vault in front of her began to slowly close.

At this moment, Youxi wished she had six legs and four wings, just so she could run faster. At this moment, she seemed to have unleashed all the potential in her body, running away without looking back. She had never run so fast in her life.

"Obstacles everywhere!" Yuxi ran while drawing her wand. Without aiming, she cast a spell directly at the ground beneath her feet. Sure enough, as soon as she took a step, several low granite walls rose up from the ground. She had only taken five or six meters when Iron Belly's head slammed straight into the low granite wall, instantly shattering it into pieces and sending rubble flying. Iron Belly felt as if he had been hit on the head, seeing stars.

This impact naturally slowed down Iron Belly's speed. When there was less than 20 centimeters of gap left in the stone door, Yuxi turned sideways and squeezed through the gap. Finnis and the mine cart were just ahead.

However, alarms blared in the air, and several goblin guards flew in from all directions on broomsticks. They held magic wands and looked fierce. In their eyes, anyone who dared to plot against the vault was simply asking for trouble.

But when the leading fairy saw Yuqian's appearance, he was stunned. His mind went blank, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Boss! What's wrong with you? Quickly order the thief to be caught!" The fairy beside him urged when she saw him brake suddenly.

Although the head guard had heard that Bella, the owner of this vault, was dead, the sight of a living person in front of him made him hesitant to act rashly. He only knew that even compound potions would be ineffective when a person was dead, and he had never thought of the existence of Manis in disguise. He could only watch helplessly as Yuxi ran onto the mine tunnel cart and grabbed Finis.

Phineas was startled when Yuxi grabbed him. Yuxi quickly restored her appearance, and only then did Phineas realize what had happened.

"It's extremely urgent! Take me to the location Kerry mentioned!" Yuxi said hurriedly.

"At your service..." Phineas snapped his fingers and vanished right before the eyes of a group of fairy guards.

Yuxi felt dizzy for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she was surrounded by a lush green forest, full of life. A familiar figure came out from the woods, and it was none other than the gaunt Zhuo Bi.

Zhuo Bi looked at You Qian's strange outfit with a "WHAT?" expression. You Qian rolled her eyes and tossed the golden cup in her hand to him.

"Don't worry about the details... Miss Lulu is still locked in the vault. Let's finish the mission quickly so Kerry can rescue her!" Yuxi said quickly.

Drowby took the golden cup. Fortunately, Voldemort hadn't placed any curse on it that would kill anyone who touched it. However, as a dark wizard, Drowby immediately sensed an extremely powerful dark magic mark on the golden back, which made him feel very uneasy. He quickly took out a burlap sack and stuffed the golden cup inside.

Zhuo Bi pointed to a house not far away and said, "That's the one, the Gaunt family's old house." It turned out they were already in Great Hangleton.

As Yuxi removed the shoulder pads and other uncomfortable items, she looked at the old house. It was a house that appeared to have some history, but it was clearly dilapidated over the years, and one could only imagine its former grandeur. Now, the walls were covered in moss, many roof tiles were missing, and the rafters were exposed here and there. Dense nettles grew around the house, reaching all the way to the small windows, which were thick with years of accumulated grime. Only the most distinctive feature—a dead snake nailed to the door—proved that they were pure-blooded descendants of the famous Salazar Slytherin.

The two hid in the woods, watching the old house from a distance. Zhuo Bi seemed very nervous, and You Qian couldn't help but ask, "Are there enemies inside? Do we need to fight?"

Zhuobi shook his head and said, "I've already used mirror magic to investigate. No one has been inside the house for a long time. I also heard from the villagers that the owner's whole family died decades ago (actually, Voldemort's uncle Morfin Gaunt is still serving time in Azkaban, but the villagers don't know that). It's been vacant ever since, but there should still be some kind of magic protecting the house. It doesn't look like it's been burgled. It's also possible that there wasn't much of value left in the house before the Gaunt family died."

Yuxi asked, "What's your mission? You seem so nervous."

Zhuo Bi said with a wry smile, "The captain told me to use the Golden Cup to clear the way, open the gate of the house, and then use the Fiery Curse to burn the whole house down."

"Huh?" Yuxi was taken aback. Everyone knew that if she really did that, not only would the fire be able to get out of control, just like the Fiendfire seen in the Beast Arena, but it would also definitely attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic, thus turning her into a wanted criminal.

Without making a sound, Youxi quickly changed her appearance. Zhuo Bi was stunned and quickly took out a black cloth from his pocket to cover his face.

Yuxi slapped her chin and said, "I remember now, Carey told me that one of Voldemort's Horcruxes is hidden here. If you touch that thing, even Dumbledore will be cursed to death!"

"Listen to the captain, don't touch anything, kick open the door—throw the golden cup in—set it on fire—retreat! It's that simple!" Zhuo Bi repeated Bai Lin's words three times, as a way of encouraging himself.

Meanwhile, Bai Lin decisively summoned Xue Feng. Before the third match, Bai Lin had already given Xue Feng the second pet biscuit (the third to Aug). This white wolf had already leveled up from level 5 to level 6, its combat power was now completely on par with the Sphinx, and the summoning time had been extended to 24 hours. It was currently reading Chapter 219, "The Championship Match," completely engrossed in it. The system also provided a note: (When the white werewolf reaches level 7, it will be able to control its size and the summoning time limit will be removed; upon reaching level 9, it will possess a hidden form.)

Bai Lin didn't know what the hidden form was, since it seemed far away. The battle in front of him was what he cared about more. This upgrade didn't change Xue Feng's size much, but his eyes were sharper, his muscles were more solid, and his strength and speed were further improved. The Sphinx on the other side was not to be outdone. When the two beasts met, it was bound to be an extremely fierce battle.

Yukikaze attacked first. As a giant wolf, its trump card was still biting, and the Sphinx's long neck was its primary target. If it succeeded in one strike, it could cripple its opponent, even if it didn't kill it.

In contrast, the Sphinx's human-like female face destined it to abandon the power of its teeth and concentrate its aggression on its long claws. This evolutionary choice made the Sphinx stronger in defense and more agile in movement. Although a single claw strike might not be enough to kill a Yukikaze of similar size, multiple scratches were enough to make the opponent bleed profusely and slowly lose.

Yukikaze was a seasoned veteran, having fought the Sphinx many times and was intimately familiar with its offensive and defensive maneuvers. Its first attack was surprisingly a feint. As the Sphinx tilted its head and swept a claw towards Yukikaze's path, Yukikaze caught the Sphinx's claw with both claws, then instead of attacking the Sphinx's neck, it bit down on the Sphinx's foreleg.

Bai Lin knew that the outcome was no longer in doubt. Even if this Sphinx possessed human intelligence, experience and combat awareness were still more important in a fight. Xue Feng was sure to win, and his opponent was still ahead. He did not intend to waste time. Instead, he flashed past the two beasts that were fighting fiercely and smashing the plant walls on both sides, rushing towards the end of the maze.

In the center of the maze is a square open space with sides of thirty or forty meters. On a small stone platform in the center sits a trophy burning with blue flames. The trophy is dazzlingly silver, and just looking at it can make you feel boundless glory and pride.

On either side of the open space stood Krum, Harry, and Fleur, all three gripping their wands and glaring at each other menacingly. If any of them were to rush toward the Goblet of Fire at this moment, they would surely be attacked by the other two.

Seeing Bai Lin rushing over, the three of them were startled. Harry's face lit up with joy, but it quickly turned serious. It was Krum who spoke first, "Professor Kaelin, you've come at the right time!"

Bai Lin spread his hands to indicate that he would not attack first. He said, "Everyone is great, and we have met at the finish line. First of all, let me state that I will not compete for the championship. If a professor wins the championship, it will also lose the glory that the Goblet of Fire should have. I am still willing to uphold the spirit of Hufflepuff. I am withdrawing from the competition now."

As he spoke, Bai Lin pointed his finger to the sky, sending a distress signal soaring into the heavens and bursting into a brilliant yellow flame. This signal signified that Bai Lin had lost his chance to compete for the championship and had automatically withdrawn from the competition.

The other three looked at each other, none of them expecting Bai Lin to pull such a move. They had all thought that Bai Lin could definitely take on all three of them, and the Goblet of Fire was practically his for the taking.

Harry breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Professor, I suspect those two are fakes. Look at Krum, he's completely clean and doesn't seem to have been attacked by the maze at all. As for Fleur, we've already encountered three fakes on the way, so I'm highly suspicious of her too!"

Bai Lin then noticed Krum, who was in almost the same condition as when he first entered the maze. In contrast, Bai Lin and Huan had their clothes covered in bits of dead leaves and sand from the previous battles. Krum looked like he was on vacation.

Looking at Furong again, she was exactly the same as the three fake Furongs from before. Even with Bai Lin's keen eyesight, he couldn't tell the difference.

Fleur replied, "I just encountered someone disguised as Harry who tried to ambush me on the road, but I managed to shake him off in time. I believe the real Harry wouldn't attack me!"

Bai Lin shrugged and said, "Why don't the three of you settle this one out? Otherwise, the Goblet of Fire wouldn't have flown straight into someone's hands, would it? I won't interfere with your duel, but if anyone uses any underhanded tricks, I guarantee I'll treat them as Death Eaters immediately."

The three of them looked at each other, and with just a few words, Bai Lin suddenly went from being a contestant to a referee. But what Bai Lin said made sense; if they just stood there, the Goblet of Fire wouldn't just pick someone and fly over to them.

"Then... Fleur, I challenge you!" Krum shouted at Fleur. After all, Harry was only in his fourth year, and Krum wasn't shameless enough to challenge him.

Fleur nodded decisively, while Harry took a step back with a complicated expression. Firstly, he didn't want them to think he would try to steal the trophy while they were fighting, and secondly, he wanted to make room for them.

Fleur made the first move. She knew that she was no match for Krum in terms of physical strength or mental fortitude, but she had a great advantage in terms of magic. With Bai Lin overseeing the battle, there was a hidden limitation on Krum's black magic. Bai Lin wouldn't just stand by and watch Krum use some powerful black magic to kill Fleur, would he? So, maintaining distance and exchanging spells with Krum was the most advantageous thing for Fleur.

"Faint and fall to the ground!" Hibiscus chanted the spell quickly and crisply, and red magical energy shot out. With the two of them so close, the spell's hit rate was almost 100% under Hibiscus's guidance.

However, Krum chose not to dodge or evade, and directly retaliated with "Petrify All". The two spells met in the air and burst into brilliant magical sparks.

To be honest, Bai Lin, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was a little disappointed. He thought he could witness a spell battle up close, but instead, they went straight into the "internal strength competition".

He crossed his arms, indicating his preference for Krum, but this kind of "internal strength contest" was clearly not Krum's forte.

Krum's strength and agility were of no help in the battle. He could only watch helplessly as Fleur's spell moved toward him little by little. He could not dodge it. Once his attention was diverted, his spell would immediately collapse. He would not only have to suffer Fleur's stun spell, but also the backlash of his own spell.

The contest between the two lasted less than five seconds. Just as Fleur's spell was about to completely overwhelm Krum, he suddenly threw his wand away, rolled to the side, and swiftly drew another wand from his waist with his left hand. It was the short wand, only the length of an ordinary pen, which he had seized from Barnard in the Temple of Dawn.
