Chapter Ninety-one: Encountering School Bullying Again
Three days before the first competition, Li Kai was fishing by Black Lake, practicing his skills while fishing.
A slender figure suddenly appeared beside him.
"Why don't you have classes?" Furong asked curiously. "I've seen you several times. You often fish here, but you always release the fish you catch."
"Oh, it's you? The beautiful Miss Furong." Li Kai smiled and said, "The professors can't teach me anything anymore, uh, I mean in terms of knowledge. As for fishing, I don't actually like fishing, but it allows me to empty my mind, and this state of emptiness is more conducive to cultivation."
He originally preferred to cultivate in the Jade Dreamland, but if he cultivated in the Jade Dreamland, then the Heart of the Chaos Demon God would not be able to collect spiritual energy.
The reason why the Chaos Demon God's Heart has not generated enough magic over the years is also related to his frequent experiments in the Emerald Dream.
After some experimentation a few days ago, he discovered that he could also draw spiritual energy from the Emerald Dream while practicing the Qi Refining Technique in the real world.
Therefore, he simply decided to cultivate directly in the real world.
In this way, the Chaos Demon God's Heart will not be delayed in collecting spiritual energy.
Furong was puzzled and her expression was a little strange. She thought Li Kai was just being mysterious.
Do you know what the first competition event is?
Li Kai said calmly, "So what if I know? So what if I don't?"
"Everyone else already knows what the first project is, and you'll definitely suffer if you don't," Furong said with a half-smile. "We're all prepared, aren't you worried about your ranking?"
"It's just dealing with a fire dragon," Li Kai said dismissively. "It's a piece of cake for me; there's nothing to prepare."
Hibiscus said incredulously, "Do you think fire dragons are easy to deal with? I know you are strong and can even defeat many wizards at the same time, but I want to tell you that we are dealing with an adult fire dragon. If you are not well prepared, you will definitely be torn to pieces by the fire dragon."
"You think that way simply because you don't understand me." Li Kai looked at Furong and smiled, "Don't worry, dealing with a fire dragon is a piece of cake, isn't it?"
"This is utterly unreasonable!" Furong said angrily. "You'll regret this!"
Li Kai shrugged: "I hope so."
When Li Kai returned to his dormitory in the afternoon, he saw two Ravenclaw girls wandering around the castle carrying a pair of shoes.
He didn't think much of it at first, but he quickly remembered that those shoes were the ones Luna had lost last time. He helped her find them.
At that moment, a surge of anger suddenly rose in Li Kai's heart. With a thought, he instantly teleported in front of the two girls.
"Kael'thas?! Kael'thas?!" Tias Bundy exclaimed in surprise. "You can Apparate at Hogwarts?"
She was one of two girls, the other named Bernish Wein, both born into Muggle families.
"Hi, Kael'thas, it's nice to meet you." Bernish Wein asked with a fake smile, "What brings you to our door?"
Li Kai glanced at the shoes in their hands and asked calmly, "Why did you do this? This isn't the first time, is it? She's never hurt you before, right?"
Both girls looked very upset; they realized that Li Kai was standing up for that crazy girl.
"You mean Luna, the crazy girl?" Tias Bondi said with a grin. "We were just joking with her, we didn't mean to hurt her. She's always talking nonsense to herself, and we think she should interact more with others..."
"Is that so?" Li Kai said coldly, "Just because of this, you've hidden her shoes time and time again? I bet you've done more than that, haven't you?"
He silently used Legilimency and soon saw some even more infuriating scenes.
Before this, he also thought that Luna's experience was just a harmless joke among some classmates.
But judging from the memories of the two girls in front of him, things were not as he had imagined at all.
That girl, as pure and spirited as the moon, had been suffering from school bullying all along.
But she did not succumb to darkness because of this; she lived a sunny life every day, and she did not even resent anyone.
Upon learning that such an innocent girl had been bullied, even though Li Kai's heart was as hard as iron, he couldn't help but feel a little heartache.
"Kaelsas, why are you getting involved in this?" Bernish Wayne advised, "This has nothing to do with you. We're just playing around with her."
Li Kai's lips curled into a cold smile: "So you were just playing around with her? Can I join in this game? It seems you're playing a game called hide-and-seek with shoes, right? Well then, I'll have to hide your shoes. This is just a game, isn't it?"
Tias Bondi and Bernish Wein felt a cold touch on their feet. When they looked down, they found that their shoes and socks had disappeared without them noticing.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing annoyance in each other's eyes.
They were about to question Li Kai, but when they turned around, they found that he had already disappeared without a trace.
Chapter Ninety-two: Testing The Wand, Goodbye Ollivander
Although Li Kai was somewhat angry about what the two girls had done, he knew he couldn't interfere too much.
He had no right to interfere, after all, he and Luna didn't have a real intimate relationship—they weren't even friends yet, and they barely spoke to each other.
It's okay to punish those two girls a little, but we can't go too far.
Otherwise, Luna's life might be affected. She's a kind girl, and she would definitely feel bad if someone were seriously hurt because of her.
Many people like to do unnecessary things, believing that it is the right thing to do, but in reality, most of the time, it is just self-indulgence.
If you truly care about someone, you should try to see things from their perspective, instead of acting arbitrarily and doing pointless things under the guise of doing what's best for them.
Regarding Luna's situation, at least 25 years old, the best course of action is ultimately up to Luna herself.
By the time they had dinner that evening, many people already knew about Li Kai's actions.
On the Ravenclaw side, Tias Bundy and Bernish Wein have become complete laughingstocks.
Because they have no shoes left, and can no longer wear them, or even if they had shoes, they can't wear them on their feet, so they can only walk barefoot wherever they go.
Some girls were very happy about this, because they were also often teased by those two wicked girls.
It's not just boys who enjoy school bullying; in fact, some girls are even more ruthless in this regard.
Penelope and Zhang Qiu came to find Li Kai together. They asked about the specific situation and then fell silent.
Zhang Qiu whispered, "Bondy and Wayne asked us to beg you to let them go."
Li Kai asked with a smile, "Do you think I should let them go?"
Zhang Qiu shook his head: "You make the decision about this; we don't care."
"They really went too far," Penelope condemned. "Bondy and Wayne's parents are very powerful in Muggle society, and they developed many bad habits from a young age, which they have not changed at all even after they came to Hogwarts."
Li Kai said casually, "Tell them that magic has a spirit, and when they truly repent, my magic will naturally stop working."
Penelope smiled and said, "I'll tell them when I get back."
afternoon.
Professor McGonagall instructed the five warriors to undergo wand testing.
Accompanied by Cassandra, Li Kai arrived at the wand testing location.
"Kael'thas, come here." Professor McGonagall had just brought Harry over. She beckoned to Li Kai and said, "The Daily Prophet wants to do an interview with you five champions. Come on in."
Li Kai and Harry entered the testing site, only to find that Cedric, Krum, and Fleur were already there.
They are being interviewed by a reporter from The Daily Prophet, not Rita Skeeter, who is still locked up in the Emerald Dream.
Since the incident at Trial Chamber One, Rita Skeeter has been imprisoned in Azkaban.
However, Li Kai believed that keeping Rita Skeeter in Azkaban was not safe, since the woman was also an Animagus practitioner and there was a high chance she could escape even in Azkaban.
So, just in case, Li Kai locked Rita Skeeter in the Emerald Dream and turned her into a real hummingbird.
As for when Rita Skeeter will be released, that depends on Li Kai's mood. [013809125 Feilu 121181041]
The interview went smoothly. Learning from Rita Skeeter's experience, The Daily Prophet is now much more cautious in soliciting articles, and its credibility has temporarily improved.
Everyone else had a smooth time testing the wands, but Li Kai encountered some problems.
The moment Mr. Olivander saw Li Kai, he became excited and said impatiently, "Mr. Li, there's no need to examine your wand. I know you rarely use that wand. I witnessed the entire incident in Courtroom One. Could I see the scepter you used back then?"
Li Kai wasn't worried that Olivander would lose the Scepter of Hades. The Scepter of Hades was a treasure that recognized its master; as long as he gave the summons, no matter where someone else took the Scepter, he could retrieve it.
920 So he took out the Scepter of the Underworld and smiled, "Of course, it's just a scepter."
Generally speaking, a wizard's wand is like a second life, and many people are unwilling to lend their wands to others.
Therefore, Li Kai's performance really surprised Ollivander. However, he did not hesitate because of this. Instead, he immediately grabbed the Scepter of Hades and took out a magnifying glass from his pocket to examine it carefully.
In fact, Li Kai's thoughts were quite simple: he admired Ollivander, who was, after all, an industrial talent.
Li Kai is somewhat lenient when it comes to talented people.
After observing for a long time, Ollivander finally sighed in despair: "What a magnificent wand! I'm afraid I could never make one in my entire life."
Li Kai smiled and said, "That's hard to say. If we still use the old technology, we definitely won't be able to create the Scepter of Hades. But what if we use new technology? Are you interested in researching new wand manufacturing methods?"
Chapter Ninety-three: A Date With Fleur Delacour
"New technology? What new technology?"
When Ollivander heard Li Kai mention the new technology, his eyes lit up with a dazzling light.
He had no other pursuits in his life but a deep passion for making magic wands.
He certainly wouldn't miss out on a new wand-making technique if it came along.
"It's a new technology for making wands, an attempt to use a different system of technology to create new types of wands that are different from existing ones," Li Kai said casually.
Olivander shook his head slightly and sighed, "Another system of technology? I'm so sorry, I have absolutely no inspiration."
"Mr. Ollivander," Li Kai said with a smile, "I might be able to offer you some inspiration. We can chat sometime."
Ollivander readily agreed, "Then it's settled. I'll be waiting for you at my wand shop anytime."
After the wand tests were completed, Cedric and Harry went to class, while Krum headed to the library.
With nothing else to do, Hibiscus suddenly said to Li Kai, "Kael'thas, would you like to show me around?"
Perhaps because of his outstanding appearance, since arriving at Hogwarts, Mo Fan has rarely left Beauxbatons' large carriage except for doing some necessary things.
Aside from mealtimes, Hogwarts students rarely see Beauxbatons students.
"Tsk tsk, when did our relationship get this good?" Li Kai smiled and said, "May I call you Furong?"
Generally, people only address each other by their first names when they have a close relationship.
Li Kai and Fan Rong didn't have much interaction, and their relationship wasn't nearly that close.
Furong's enthusiasm suggests she likely needs something from someone.
"Of course," she smiled charmingly, "Where do you plan to take me first?"
Li Kai said mysteriously, "I'm going to take you to a place you've never been before. You'll be very surprised."
Furong asked in surprise, "A place I've never been before? Where is it?"
Li Kai held out his hand and said, "Give me your hand, and I'll take you there right away."
Furong obediently placed her hand in Li Kai's hand. Her hand was very soft and had a very comfortable feel to it, just like a toy that one could not put down.
Once Li Kai grasped that hand, he never wanted to let go.
With a thought, the two of them vanished from their spot in an instant.
The next second, they all appeared in the Emerald Dream.
Furong stared wide-eyed at the sight before her, exclaiming incredulously, "Where is this? What a beautiful view!"
Li Kai smiled slightly; Yu Rong's performance was not contrary to his expectations.
Now that things have come to this, Li Kai has stopped pretending.
Emerald Dream is his ultimate weapon for picking up girls!
Compared to the Emerald Dream, all those cats that can do somersaults and my dog that can do a Thomas Flair are utterly pathetic!
Li Kai believes that no woman can resist the beautiful dream of jade, and no woman can resist the man who possesses the dream of jade.
"Welcome to my world, beautiful Miss Hibiscus." Li Kai showered her with sweet words as if they were free. "Excuse my bluntness, but a beautiful girl like you should live in the Emerald Dreamland forever. This is a fairyland that exists specifically for fairies like you. If you wish, you can stay here forever."
"Forever?" Hibiscus asked nervously, "Are you going to imprison me here?"
"Why would you think that?" Li Kai raised an eyebrow. "I have no such intention."
Furong remained unfazed. She said coldly, "Everyone says you're a playboy. You already have four girlfriends, and each one is incredibly beautiful! Some even say you have absolutely no resistance to beautiful women. I'm very confident in my looks, so it's hard to say whether you'll imprison me."
Li Kai smiled and said, "Furong, there's no need to be so nervous. If I really had those kinds of thoughts, you wouldn't have any choice."
Furong thought about it and seemed to think that Li Kai's words made a lot of sense. She resignedly nodded and said, "You're right. I really can't resist."
"Alright, don't worry." Li Kai stretched out his hand and said, "Let me show you around. What you see here is just a small part of the Emerald Dreamland."
Furong glanced at Li Kai and obediently placed her hand in his. She thought that coming to find him today was a mistake, but now she had no choice but to take it one step at a time.
Li Kai, accompanied by Furong, wandered around the Emerald Dreamland, admiring its unique and beautiful scenery.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he smiled and asked, "Did you need something from me? If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know, and I'll do my best to help."
"It's nothing," Furong said. "I just heard a lot about your deeds from them and wanted to confirm if those things were true."
"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Li Kai asked with a faint smile. When a woman becomes curious about a man, she's not far from falling for him.
"They said you founded the famous Dragon Knight Guild when you were in first grade?" Hibiscus asked with a smile. "Can I join the Dragon Knight Guild?"
Chapter Ninety-four: The Shocked Hibiscus
"Of course," Li Kai said casually. "Everyone knows that there are no requirements to join the Dragon Knight Guild. You can join anytime you want."
"Anytime is fine?" Furong asked happily, "Is it okay now?"
Li Kai nodded: "Yes, we can do it now."
He took a piece of parchment from his storage space and handed it to Fleur.
Furong took the parchment and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"This is the guild member file. You just need to sign your name on it to officially become a member of the Dragon Knight Guild and receive the Dragon Knight Guild badge," Ji Kai explained.
"That's all?" Hibiscus asked incredulously. "Isn't that too hasty?"
Li Kai casually said, "What else do you want? The Dragon Knight Guild is a loose organization. The guild has no strict requirements for its members. If members want to get any benefits from the guild, they have to exchange them for contribution points. To put it bluntly, all members are my tools. I post tasks, and you complete them to get rewards. Oh, and you can post tasks yourselves, provided you have enough contribution points."
In fact, the operating principle of the Dragon Knight Guild is very simple; it is just a simple platform.
As we all know, no business is as profitable as a platform business.
In the future, as long as a platform that everyone recognizes can be built, whether it's a communication platform or a shopping platform, it can generate a continuous stream of revenue.
There are too many talented people or things whose value is unknown in this world that need to demonstrate their worth. Give them a platform to show their value, and they may create endless wealth.
As the creator of the platform, one can make a fortune simply by taking a cut.
Furong hesitated for a moment, but in the end she signed her name on the parchment.
Li Kai smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations on joining the Dragon Knight Guild. From now on, we are family."
"Who said we're family?" Hibiscus rolled her eyes at Li Kai and said in a coquettish voice, "You said that the Knights Guild is just a loose organization."
Li Kai shrugged and didn't say anything.
Furong then asked, "They also said that you personally killed a snake monster that had lived for nearly a thousand years when you were in second grade?"
"Yes, quite a few people know about this," Li Kai said with emotion. "Those scenes seem like they happened just yesterday. The basilisk was indeed terrifying."
However, the basilisk was no match for me.
Li Kai didn't say this; it's better to keep a low profile. Women don't like men who are too flamboyant.
"But they said you killed the basilisk with just one spell?" Fleur exclaimed. "What spell was it? Even the Killing Curse couldn't kill the basilisk in one strike, could it?"
"Yes, I used a secret technique," Li Kai said with a smile. "It's a kind of magic that doesn't belong to this world. Its power isn't much stronger than the Killing Curse, but if you have enough magic power, killing any creature is no problem. Most importantly, using that kind of magic won't affect your mind, and that's its true strength."
"Can you teach me that spell?" Fleur asked expectantly.
"Not now. That spell can only be learned by my closest people." Li Kai asked with a smile, "Do you think our relationship has reached that point?"
He already has too many tricks up his sleeve, so he has begun to teach some secret techniques to close associates like Cassandra, including the Death Fingers.
The Killing Curse has a severe impact on the user's psyche. Most wizards may never need to use the Killing Curse even once in their lifetime, but the wizarding world may not be safe in the future.
In the event of a wizarding war, a powerful spell could be a lifesaver in a critical moment.
Therefore, Li Kai felt it necessary to pass on some powerful magic to those close to him.
The Finger of Death is a composite magic, and as Cassandra and others study it, they will gradually learn to use elemental magic as well.
Teaching them the Death Finger technique in advance can be seen as preparation for establishing an elemental magic training system.
Hibiscus didn't seem to mind, since most wizards in the magical world wouldn't easily pass on their unique spells.
A spell no less powerful than the Killing Curse, yet without any negative effects—this is absolutely the best of unique spells!
The two parties are not related, so how could someone else possibly pass on their knowledge?
"I also heard that you switched Azkaban?" Fleur asked curiously. "Is that true or false?"
Without wasting any words, Li Kai took Mo Rong directly to Azkaban.
Thanks to the efforts of Zhiqiang and Wanda, Emerald Dreamland has now expanded to over 100,000 square kilometers, including an area that is still ocean.
Li Kai then placed Azkaban in that ocean.
It's hard to say how big this ocean is, because the other side is still shrouded in mist, and what we've seen so far is only a small part of the coastline.
"That's Azkaban, your information is correct," Li Kai said, pointing to the tower in the sea.
"It really is Azkaban?!" Fleur exclaimed in shock. "How did you do that?"
Chapter Ninety-five: Thor? Dragon God?
"Magic is power. With enough magic, there's nothing that can't be done," Li Kai said calmly.
Fleur shook her head slightly: "Wizards' magic has its limits. Even Dumbledore probably couldn't do it. You're simply a monster."
"That's not a very nice thing to say!" Li Kai said, dissatisfied. "Why are you calling me a monster? Can't I be a god?"
Furong stuck out her tongue and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I misspoke."
Li Kai said with a stern face, "If you do something wrong, you should be punished. How do you think you should make amends for your mistake?"
Furong, at a loss, said, "How do you think I should make amends? I was just joking, you don't have to take it seriously."
"A joke?" Li Kai said coldly, "Do you know that I can take your life with a single thought? Once you provoke a powerful figure, your life is no longer in your own hands. No matter how beautiful you are, after death you can only turn into dust and disappear into the world."
He exuded a dangerous aura that sent chills down one's spine; a person with a weak will might already be kneeling on the ground.
A look of fear immediately crossed Furong's face. She said in a trembling voice, "You won't kill me, will you?"
Li Kai stared at Furong for a moment, then suddenly laughed heartily, "Of course not. I'm not a murderous demon king. How could I kill you just because you said one wrong word?"
Upon hearing this, Furong breathed a sigh of relief. Li Kai's aura had been truly terrifying. She looked at Li Kai with resentment, hesitating whether to reprimand him.
But Li Kai's next words made Furong give up the idea of condemning him.
"However," Li Kai said calmly, "other powerful individuals might not be as easy to talk to as I am."
Furong remained silent. She had no idea what Li Kai was thinking, so it was better to stay silent under the circumstances.
Seeing this, Li Kai said with a hint of boredom, "Alright, look how scared you are. I'm just giving you a lesson and telling you a principle. Your beauty can make you the center of attention, but it should never be your reliance. If you try to do whatever you want with your beauty, you may eventually become a plaything for some man."
Furong nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll remember."
She really remembered it. She used to be proud of her looks and even thought that all men would fawn over her like dogs.
But it wasn't until just now that she realized she was nothing in front of a truly powerful person.
The feeling of having one's life controlled by others is something no one who has experienced it once would ever want to experience again.
"By the way, aren't you really afraid of fire dragons?" Hibiscus blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked tentatively, "Those are fire dragons. It takes many wizards to subdue them. Although your magic is very powerful, you will definitely get hurt if you are attacked by a fire dragon."
Li Kai laughed heartily: "A fire dragon? I'll take you to see it."
He grabbed Furong's hand and instantly teleported to a high cliff.
He called this place Dragon Cliff, a specially designated habitat for fire dragons.
Zhiqiang, Wanda, and other evolved fire dragons also live here, but they are now expanding their territory on the edge of the Emerald Dream.
Besides the evolved fire dragons, there are also some unevolved fire dragons here.
When Li Kai caught dragons earlier, he caught a lot of fire dragons and kept them in the Emerald Dream. He wanted to know if these ordinary fire dragons would not automatically evolve if they lived in the Emerald Dream for a long time.
...
After all, in the world of Azeroth, the Emerald Dream is a world created by the dragons.
When Furong saw the fire dragons dwelling on Dragon Cliff, she was stunned. She exclaimed in shock, "Your world has fire dragons too? And so many of them?"
Li Kai said leisurely, "This is nothing, after all, they are just some low-level fire dragons."
"Low-level fire dragons?" Furong asked, puzzled. "Why call them low-level slayer dragons when they're just fire dragons?"
"I'll show you what a real dragon looks like!" With a thought, Li Kai issued an order to Zhiqiang, Wanda, and the other evolved dragons, instructing them to return to Dragon Cliff.
A moment later, a dozen enormous, terrifying creatures flew rapidly from the sky and then slowly descended.
Even so, the hurricane they created made Furong a little unsteady on her feet.
This stunningly beautiful woman, who possessed one-quarter Veela blood, was completely stunned at this moment; her adorable appearance was incredibly endearing.
"My God! They're huge!" Hibiscus exclaimed incredulously. "How can there be such enormous dragons in the world?"
As the first to embark on the path of evolution, the Mighty and Wanda have reached a length of over 300 meters.
The adult female dragons that later consumed Asha's blood have now grown to over a hundred meters long.
A typical adult fire dragon is considered to be over thirty meters long if it can reach that size.
Li Kai smiled and said, "These are all my pets. Do you think I need to be afraid of a fully grown fire dragon?"
Furong shook her head and exclaimed, "Everyone outside calls you the Thunder God, but I think you should be called the Dragon God."
Chapter Ninety-six: Drawing Opponents
Thor? Dragon God?
Li Kai shook his head slightly. If Fu Rong knew the value of the Chaos Demon God's Heart, he might gain another title as a demon god.
However, in Li Kai's view, whether it's divine or not is completely unimportant.
Throughout, he only acknowledged his human identity.
god!
It's just a more powerful creature.
"Beautiful Ms. Hibiscus," Li Kai said with a half-smile, snapping out of his reverie, "Do you like this world?"
"Of course!" Hibiscus nodded vigorously. "I've already fallen in love with this world!"
"So, do you want to be the mistress of this world?" Li Kai asked with a smile. "790."
"I—" Furong hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "I can't resist this temptation!"
"Haha!" Li Kai laughed loudly, "Then you must become my woman first."
Upon hearing this, Furong blushed deeply and said shyly, "You—you have so many girlfriends...I need to think about it for a while."
Seeing an opening, Li Kai immediately decided to press his advantage. He leaned close to Furong's ear and whispered, "Then kiss me first, and I'll teach you a fun magic trick."
Furong hesitated for a moment, then raised her face and kissed Li Kai on the cheek.
Li Kai shook his head and said, "You kissed the wrong person. I want you to kiss here."
He pointed to his lips, then looked at Furong with a half-smile.
Furong rolled her eyes at Li Kai, then closed her eyes and slowly approached him.
The moment their lips touched, Li Kai suddenly hugged Furong tightly—Furong's eyes widened in shock as she stared at him.
It wasn't until several minutes later that the two slowly separated.
Furong was panting heavily, feeling like she was about to faint, yet also experiencing a sensation of floating away.
"How—how could you do this?!"
Li Kai smiled slightly: "That's how I am. My mark has been left in your body. From now on, you belong to me. You can't run away even if you want to."
"Hmm?" Hibiscus asked, puzzled. "A mark?"
"Yes, a kind of genetic imprint." Li Kai said unhurriedly, "According to Muggle research, when men and women kiss, they exchange genetic imprints. Over time, the two people will become more and more alike, which is called couple resemblance."
"A couple looking alike?" Furong's English wasn't very good, so she didn't quite understand the word Li Kai translated.
"In short, all you need to know is that you already have my mark on your body." Li Kai held Furong and said with great interest, "If you don't want to grow old alone, you can only choose me. No matter which man gets close to you, I will make him disappear forever."
Upon hearing this, Furong angrily retorted, "You're so wicked! You're a demon king!"
"Ah! Yes, I am the Demon King, and a domineering one at that!" Li Kai said with a grin, "I can do whatever I want, what can you do to me?"
Furong was both angry and anxious, when suddenly a brilliant idea flashed into her mind, and she couldn't help but shout, "I can give you a hundred children, and they can divide up all your wealth!"
"Holy crap!" Li Kai exclaimed in shock, "That's ruthless! Having a hundred children? Are you an idiot?"
...
In the blink of an eye, October 24th arrived.
Classes proceeded as usual that morning, and the first event of the Three Strong Cup began in the afternoon.
The students were taken to the enclosure where the fire dragon was located, but they weren't on the field itself, but rather on the stands on the sidelines.
The five warriors were led to a tent, where Mr. Bagman was already waiting...
"Alright, now that everyone's here, it's time to give you some information," Mr. Bagman said cheerfully. "Now, you will each draw a target from this purple bag—oh, they're not real, just models, of course. Your task is to find a way to get the golden egg they're guarding while they try to stop you."
He seemed completely unconcerned about the players' lives and deaths. He was undoubtedly a competent politician. As long as he handled this competition well, he could add another achievement to his resume.
The audience outside had all arrived, and even inside the tent, deafening cheers could be heard.
"Alright, let's begin." Mr. Bagman placed the bag in front of Fleur and said with a smile, "Ladies first, please."
Furong glanced at Li Kai, received an encouraging look from him, and then reached her trembling right hand into the bag.
Then, she pulled a black, living fire dragon model out of the bag.
Having already collected all the fire dragons, Li Kai immediately recognized it as a Hehidari Black Dragon.
It seems that having one more person has changed her luck somewhat. Li Kai remembers that in the original story, she drew the Welsh Green Dragon.
Li Kai had forgotten many details from the original work, but he was interested in legendary creatures like fire dragons and phoenixes, so he still remembered the fire dragons that appeared in the original work.
The Hehidari Black Dragon is even more aggressive than the Welsh Green Dragon, so the Hehidari Black Dragon and the Welsh Green Dragon are probably easier to deal with. Furong was tricked by Li Kai.
Chapter Ninety-seven: Arranging The Order Of Appearance
Li Kai was second in line. He reached into the bag and randomly took out a model.
"Hungarian Tree-Peak Dragon? Tsk tsk!"
The Hungarian wood bee is considered the most vicious and aggressive of the fire dragons.
When protecting the dragon eggs, this fire dragon becomes even more aggressive.
The golden eggs were enchanted, so the fire dragons that guarded them would treat them as dragon eggs.
Li Kai's early acquisition of the Hungarian Tree Peak Dragon effectively lowered the difficulty for those who followed.
Next up is Krum, who drew the Welsh Green Dragon.
Then it was Cedric's turn; he drew the Fireball Dragon from the Divine Dragon Kingdom.
Finally, there's Harry, whose model is a Swedish short-nosed dragon, complete with a number one tag around its neck.
"Alright, you've all received yours," Mr. Bagman said. "The number tags hanging around the models' necks indicate your order of appearance, understand?"
Li Kai glanced at it and saw that his Hungarian Tree Peak Dragon model had a number five tag on it, indicating that the order of appearance had also changed.
Hibiscus is number two, Krum is number three, and Cedric is number four.
"I have to leave you now because I need to give a commentary to the audience. Harry, you can come in after you hear the whistle, understand? Oh, by the way, you can come out first, I want to say a few words to you." Mr. Bagman called Harry out and whispered to him at the tent entrance, talking about something.
After a moment, Harry returned to his tent, while Mr. Bagman took his place at the commentary booth.
After waiting for about two more minutes, a loud whistle suddenly sounded outside.
Harry quickly went outside and entered the huge arena.
The people inside the tent heard gasps of alarm coming from outside, as if the scene was extremely dangerous and many people were screaming.
Furong said nervously, "Kyle, do you think Potter will be torn apart by the fire dragon? I've made some preparations, but I'm not sure if I can handle an adult fire dragon."
Li Kai smiled slightly and casually said, "Don't worry, don't be nervous. Just follow your plan, and you'll definitely succeed."
"Thank you." Furong suddenly leaned in front of Li Kai and gave him a long, passionate French kiss.
Cedric and Krum's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. They looked at each other, each feeling as if they had been hit by a ton of bombs.
After Li Kai and Furong separated, Cedric said sourly, "Furong, he has four girlfriends, and he's only fourteen! You can come at me!"
Fleur glared at Cedric and said irritably, "I'd rather kiss a giant monster than you."
Li Kai couldn't help but burst into laughter, and even Krum, whose face had been somewhat gloomy, showed a hint of a smile.
The tense atmosphere vanished instantly, and everyone felt much better.
The screams outside suddenly stopped. Krum frowned and said, "Why is there no sound? What happened? Was that kid torn to pieces by the fire dragon? Or was he burned to ashes by the dragon's breath?"
Li Kai said, puzzled, "It shouldn't be. Maybe he rode off on a broom."
Furong: ...…
Krum:...
Cedric:...
Just as Li Kai said, Harry followed the method in the original book, using the Summoning Charm to summon a broom, then rode the broom to lure the dragon to a faraway place. Through a series of maneuvers, he caused the dragon to crash into a bridge and become unconscious, eventually flying back to retrieve the golden egg.
This series of maneuvers looked incredibly dangerous!
Those who had previously suspected Harry of cheating shut their mouths. They finally stopped believing Harry and realized that Harry might not have cheated at all—because if it were them, they would have been killed by the dragon by now.
A full half hour passed before the four people in the tent heard deafening cheers.
Furong exclaimed in surprise, "He succeeded?"
"I'm afraid so." Cedric felt much more relaxed. He thought to himself that if Harry could do it, then he certainly could too.
Shortly after, the second whistle blew.
Outside, Mr. Bagman called out loudly, "Please welcome Miss Fleur Delacour to the stage."
Furong and Li Kai kissed goodbye, then Furong, holding her magic wand, walked out of the tent without looking back.
Li Kai remained seated leisurely to the side, seemingly unconcerned about Furong's safety.
Cedric asked, puzzled, "920, you seem to have a lot of confidence in her? You're not worried about her at all?"
He was actually very jealous of Li Kai because he had a crush on Zhang Qiu, but Zhang Qiu had fallen for Li Kai.
However, this jealousy had not yet evolved into hatred, and Cedric did not dare to compete with Li Kai. When the gap in strength between the two sides reached a certain level, some inappropriate thoughts would automatically and quietly disappear.
"There's nothing to worry about," Li Kai said lazily. "Even if she's in danger, I can save her."
"What?" Cedric asked, bewildered. "Are you kidding me?"
Li Kai did not answer; he was listening intently to what was happening outside.
Just ten minutes later, the audience erupted in cheers and applause once again.
Furong succeeded, and everyone was celebrating for her.
Next, Krum and Cedric took turns playing.
When it was Li Kai's turn to play, more than an hour had passed.
Chapter Ninety-eight: The Girl Group's Gamble
"Next up is—Kael'thas Lee! Please welcome Mr. Kael'thas Lee!" Mr. Bagman's voice was still very loud.
Li Kai slowly walked out of the tent and stepped into the arena.
On the stands, people erupted in unprecedented cheers when they saw Li Kai enter the arena.
Many people's faces turned red, as if they were about to witness an unprecedented epic battle.
"Hey Katie, what do you think Kael'thas will do against the fire dragon?"
"How would I know? What about you? What method do you think he'll use to deal with the fire dragon?"
"Haha! I bet he'll use that magic he used in the First Trial Chamber before, turning the fire dragon into charcoal with countless bolts of lightning!"
"A fire dragon can't possibly turn into charcoal, can it? It's a fire dragon! They have extremely strong resistance to wizard magic!"
"Perhaps you're right, but I still stand by my opinion. How about we make a bet? We'll bet ten Galleons. If he uses that lightning spell, you give me ten Galleons; if he doesn't, I'll give you ten Galleons. Shall we bet?"
"Well—okay, I'll take your bet!"
"Sandy, how long do you think it will take Kael'thas to finish this fight? I think it might be over in ten seconds!"
"Impossible! That's a fully grown fire dragon. Don't you know what a fully grown fire dragon is? It's a top-tier magical creature. Ordinary adult wizards can't handle it at all. Every time a fire dragon causes trouble, it takes many wizards working together to subdue it."
"Oh, you're right, but the problem is that Kael'thas is no ordinary person. Have you forgotten his achievements? He once fought against dozens of outstanding wizards single-handedly in the Ministry of Magic's First Inquisition, and he won! This means that he possesses the combined power of dozens of outstanding wizards! With such power, fire dragons are nothing in front of him."
"Uh! Okay, I admit you convinced me, but I still don't think he can defeat the fire dragon in ten seconds."
"Then just watch, it might not even take ten seconds."
Cassandra, Hermione, Cho Chang, and Penelope gathered together, having no doubt that Li Kai could defeat the fire dragon.
Zhang Qiu whispered, "Should we take a gamble? Let's bet on how long it takes him from making his move to defeating the fire dragon?"
"How do you plan to bet?" Penelope asked with interest. "What's the stake? Galleons? Or something else?"
Cassandra and Hermione also looked at Cho Chang expectantly, a string in their hearts being plucked.
"Who's short of Galleons?" Zhang Qiu said slyly. "The bet is the time and priority we get to be with him. Whoever guesses the closest time gets priority to spend with him, and the duration is calculated based on the bet. The loser can't have close contact with him for as many days as the bet amount."
Cassandra and Hermione exchanged a glance and nodded, saying, "This is a good bet; we can participate."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiu smiled and said, "In that case, I'll bet that he needs three seconds to defeat the fire dragon! The bet is for ten days!"
Penelope shook her head: "Then I'll choose one second, with a three-day bet!"
Hermione was somewhat confused: "Do you think he's a good candidate or a bad candidate? If you think he's a good candidate, why are you only betting on three days?"
Penelope smiled and said, "That's called risk balancing—and you? How much are you planning to bet?"
Hermione thought for a moment and said, "I'll bet two seconds, and the wager is a month!"
The three women all looked at Cassandra. After thinking for a moment, Cassandra said, "Then I'll bet three seconds, and three months."
"Aha!" Penelope chuckled. "Cassandra, you don't think much of him, do you?"
Cassandra said irritably, "''I actually wanted to choose one second, but you chose first, didn't you?'"
Penelope suggested, "How about you change it to one second? If we win, we'll [do it together], okay?"
"No! I refuse that offer," Cassandra said proudly, arms crossed.
Penelope raised an eyebrow helplessly, but didn't dwell on it.
"He's out, keep a close eye on him!" Zhang Qiu reminded him. "Prepare the timer, starting from when he uses his first spell and ending when he gets the golden egg—do you have any further comments?"
"No," Hermione said.
Cassandra and Penelope nodded in agreement.
Then, they began to stare intently at Li Kai's figure.
(Zhao De Zhao) Li Kai walked step by step toward the area where the fire dragon was, without even taking out his magic wand.
The Hungarian Tree-Peak Dragon was swaggering around the arena, roaring terrifyingly, its claws gleaming chillingly in the sunlight.
Its lantern-like dragon eyes had already noticed the tiny figure gradually approaching in the distance, and it seemed to sense the threat of the newcomer. Its dragon tail involuntarily began to sway gently in a specific pattern.
As the two drew closer, the fire dragon grew increasingly agitated. Suddenly, it roared to the sky and spewed out a burst of blazing flames.
At the same time, Li Kai also made his move.
Chapter Ninety-nine: A Single Stun Spell Instantly Kills The Fire Dragon!
The dragon flames instantly enveloped Li Kai completely, causing the audience in the stands to gasp in surprise.
Many people were stunned; they simply couldn't believe their eyes.
"What happened? Why didn't he move away? Was he burned to death?"
"He must have escaped using some kind of magic! He must have!"
"Impossible! No one can withstand the flames of a dragon!"
"Is it over? He wasn't killed by the fire dragon, was he?"
Suddenly, a beam of white light shot out from the dragon flames and struck the huge Hungarian Tree Peak Dragon directly.
"roar!"
The terrifying adult fire dragon only had time to let out a mournful cry before collapsing heavily to the ground.
As the dragon flames dissipated, Li Kai reappeared. He seemed to have not moved at all, and even his clothes had not changed in the slightest.
Unharmed!
He simply waved his hand, and the golden egg landed in his hand automatically.
Everyone stared at this scene in disbelief, as if they were witnessing a legendary deity.
The Colosseum was silent for a good ten seconds before the stands erupted in unprecedented cheers.
"My God! This is incredible!"
"That's the Stunning Curse! I recognize the white flame of the Stunning Curse—I'm so excited!"
"We witnessed this moment; to defeat an adult fire dragon with just a simple Stunning Charm is an absolutely remarkable feat!"
"It's unbelievable! How can he be so powerful?! To casually cast a stun spell, without a wand or any other incantation—can a wizard really achieve such terrifying power?"
"You're so powerful! Kyle! I love you!"
"I got the golden egg without using a single second from start to finish, that's absolutely perfect!"
"Let's have a moment of silence for the other four warriors! How could they possibly win the Triwizard Tournament against such a formidable opponent?"
Mr. Bagman didn't even have time to explain; he was still in a daze when Li Kai received the golden egg.
He only came to his senses when the cheers erupted.
"Truly breathtaking magical skill!" Mr. Bagman exclaimed. "Mr. Kael'thas Lee has displayed unimaginable magical prowess! Everyone cheers for him; it is our honor to witness this moment! It is a pleasure to be here with you all to witness this tomb!"
It was obvious that Mr. Bagman, who had never received professional language training, was now somewhat incoherent.
In the Warriors' rest area, Furong gazed at Li Kai with dreamy eyes, her heart pounding with excitement: "No wonder he wasn't worried at all. So, in his eyes, a fire dragon is no different from an ant—is he the real strongman?"
Harry, Cedric, and Krum are completely Muggles.
How can we fight like this?
A single Stun Curse can take down a fire dragon. If the final battle for the Three Kingdoms Cup requires combat, who will be a match for that person on the field?
At the teachers' table, Dumbledore and other Hogwarts professors all smiled, while Professor Karkaroff was furious.
"Dumbledore, this is so unfair!" Professor Karkaroff said indignantly. "With the magical skill he has demonstrated, this match is completely unnecessary."
Ms. Maxim echoed, "Yes, this matter must be handled properly."
Dumbledore shook his head slightly: "Karkaroff, the Triwizard Tournament tests not only magical skill, but more importantly, courage and other qualities. You still have a chance, don't rush."
Karkaroff grew even angrier: "Courage and other qualities? Strength is the strongest support for these qualities. Without sufficient strength, who dares to say they have the courage to face anything?"
Dumbledore shook his head and said helplessly, "I know you're very dissatisfied, but since you've put it that way, there's nothing I can do."
On the other side.
Penelope couldn't help but scream, "Ah! One second! He only used one second! From the moment the spell hit the fire dragon to the moment the golden egg fell into his hands, only one second had passed."
In fact, Li Kai's actions on the field—casting spells and collecting golden eggs—were simultaneous.
Both the Stun and Summoning Spells were used simultaneously, but the Stun was faster and hit the dragon first.
The spell cast on the golden egg resisted the flying spell, and even with his powerful magic, Li Kai was delayed by several hundred milliseconds before he could finally collect the golden egg.
Cassandra's small face was icy cold, radiating a dangerous aura that kept strangers at bay. Hearing Penelope's cheers, she coldly reminded her, "Yes, you did win the bet, but the problem is—your bet only lasts three days!"
"Ah!" Penelope screamed, then said in frustration, "I was so stupid! I only placed bets for three days!"
Cho Chang and Hermione exchanged a glance, both seeing the mockery in each other's eyes.
However, the thought of losing their bets made them so depressed that they became withdrawn.
"Haha!" Penelope suddenly giggled, "You all made such long bets and lost, so you can't have any close contact with him during this time! Wow! Although I only won for three days, I actually had at least ten days alone with him! Tsk tsk!
Chapter 100 Penelope Crucible
Not long after, Li Kai also learned about Cassandra and the others' betting scheme.
He hadn't expected the girls to gamble so heavily, especially Cassandra; she was truly ruthless!
After a disagreement, they haven't been close to me for months!
"Cassandra, the thought of not being able to be close to you for the next few months makes me feel terrible," Li Kai said, grinning with a pained expression. "Why don't you just renege on this bet?"
"No!" Penelope refused flatly. "The bet is over. How can you go back on your word?"
"That's it then, it's only three months, it'll be over soon! I've decided to go into seclusion starting today! Humph!" Cassandra was a proud girl [she certainly wouldn't renege on the bet].
She glanced at Li Kai and vanished from the spot in an instant.
Don't get me wrong, Cassandra didn't Apparate; she simply went to the Emerald Dream.
"I want to go into seclusion too!" Hermione and Zhang Qiuyi said in unison.
After they finished speaking, they instantly entered the emerald dream.
Penelope approached Li Kai, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said with a smile, "Now it's just the two of us left. Shall we go to Gede Village?"
Li Kai suddenly realized that Penelope was already seventeen years old this year. She seemed to have fully matured, and this ripe peach was ready to be picked.
So he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you to a nice place."
Before the evening banquet, Li Kai hurriedly returned to the castle with Penelope.
Penelope looked even more radiant than she had in the afternoon, and seemed to have matured considerably all at once.
She clung tightly to Li Kai's arm, as if afraid he would fly away.
In fact, she was not only afraid that Li Kai would fly away, but also afraid that she would fall to the ground, because she had no strength at all and her body was as soft as a noodle. She could only walk like a normal person because Li Kai used his magic to support her.
It is well known that wizards are far more physically powerful than Muggles.
Li Kai unanimously agreed that wizards not only need to master magic, but also need to master some fighting skills.
So in the afternoon in Hogsmeade Village, Li Kai taught Penelope some fighting skills, and then the two began to spar. They practiced for more than an hour, so Penelope exhausted all her strength and also suffered some injuries.
Her injuries had been healed by Li Kai's powerful healing magic, but the lost strength could not be recovered in a short time.
After dinner, Li Kai escorted Penelope back to the Ravenclaw common room, then returned to his Slytherin bedroom alone.
When he returned to the Slytherin common room, he found everyone waiting for him.
The walls of the common lounge were covered with various celebratory banners.
The most eye-catching banner read: "Warmly celebrate the great Kael'thas Lee defeating the fire dragon!"
Draco, holding up a bottle of butterbeer, said, "Come on, Kyle, we've been waiting for you to get into the spotlight. The celebration is about to begin."
Seventh-year student Zoltun Meek said with a smile, "This is an unprecedented honor for Slytherin! The Triwizard Tournament has been interrupted for over a hundred years, and Kyle will usher in a new era for Slytherin!"
"You're right, so we really should celebrate." Sumire Ida said with a giggle, "Kyle, to celebrate this great day, I can grant you one request, anything!"
This Sumire Ida is also a very beautiful witch, but she is not a pure-blood witch; she was born into a mixed-blood family.
As is well known, Slytherin has always disliked half-blood and Muggle wizards, so before Li Kai arrived, Sumire Ada had been suffering from bullying at school.
...Requesting flowers...0
However, Sumire Ada is no pushover. The Sorting Hat's assignment of students to houses is not without reason, as this girl possesses many Slytherin traits.
She's saying this not because she likes Li Kai, but simply because she values his current strength and status.
It is obvious that her real purpose is to attach herself to the powerful in order to satisfy some of her own ambitions and demands.
In fact, this was not the first time she had taken the initiative to show goodwill to Li Kai. However, her appearance was not quite as good as Li Kai's other girlfriends, so Li Kai had never accepted her.
If Sumire Ida's looks and figure were even better, Li Kai might take her on.
Li Kai has his own outlook on life and values. He doesn't care if others take advantage of him. As long as his personal interests are harmed, he doesn't mind being used.
The real tragedy is when a person has no value whatsoever.
"Stop joking, Sumily," Li Kai said with a smile. "I'd like to keep your request in mind and contact you again when I need it, is that alright?"
Sumily's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Of course, you can come to me anytime."
Little did she know that what Li Kai had just said was merely an excuse, and he might forget about it after today.
Draco urged, "Quickly bring out the golden egg so we can see it; there must be some secret inside!"
Li Kai smiled, took the golden egg out of his storage space, and asked with ill intent, "Do you really want to know the secret inside?"
