When it was crossing a ravine that was just barely wide enough for it to step over, its legs suddenly went weak and it was unable to cross, tripping over a stone step and falling to the ground.
The fire dragon that was so aggressive just now, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, turned around and became like a silly country duck, shaking its clumsy body and falling to the ground.
It happened to lie in front of Zhang Lingyu, as if it had been ravaged by a dozen male dragons for several days. It was panting and weak, and its huge body was still shaking.
Zhang Lingyu walked leisurely past the fire dragon, came into the dragon's nest safely and easily, and lifted the golden egg in the dragon's nest easily.
Stimulated by the series of reversals just now, Zhang Lingyu, who had brought himself to face the fire dragon, was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief. It was not until Zhang Lingyu raised the golden egg that everyone finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief and began to shout and cheer for Zhang Lingyu crazily.
Facing the red-faced people cheering for him and looking at him with excitement and admiration, Zhang Lingyu showed a trace of confusion on his face.
Why are they cheering for me? Shouldn't they despise me and hate me?
Zhang Zhiwei, standing on a high place, looked at Zhang Lingyu with satisfaction, who was not used to the cheers.
Found it, Lingyu,
What you think are flaws, most people don’t care about at all, and what you think is ugly, may be something that others cannot envy.
People should not be arrogant, but there is no need to be too self-deprecating. Accept your true self.
The pig in the mud is not as ugly as you imagine. As long as you can practice sincerely, go through hundreds of tribulations, and keep your heart unmoved, a noble blue lotus can grow in the mud.
Even a dirty wild boar can cultivate himself to become Marshal Tianpeng who controls the Milky Way.
And today is your first calamity, Lingyu.
Recognize your true self and accept yourself.
Looking at Zhang Lingyu holding the golden egg with satisfaction, Hu Xiuwu felt that his and Tianshi's efforts were not in vain.
"The Yin Five Thunders method is really as good as its reputation says. It's a pity that Ling Yu is too upright. If he had been more concealed during the fight, the Yin Five Thunders would have been even harder to defend against."
Deng Youfu was also satisfied after meeting Yin Wulei and felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Hu Xiuwu sighed, "If he acts in an insidious way, then he is not Zhang Lingyu."
To be honest, after experiencing the incident of collusion with the Heavenly Master to deceive his young disciple, Hu Xiuwu had some doubts as to whether Zhang Lingyu lost his pure yang body because he admired Ai as a young boy and couldn't help himself, or because the Heavenly Master turned a blind eye and condoned it.
Zhang Lingyu's personality is too straightforward. According to what the Heavenly Master said to Hu Xiuwu, he is foolishly and honestly honest.
The upright and sunny Zhang Lingyu is naturally compatible with Yang Wu Lei and Jiang Gong Lei, but if he starts with Yang Wu Lei, it would probably be more difficult for Zhang Lingyu to accept Yin Wu Lei in the future.
If Zhang Lingyu just wanted to be a high-level magician, it would not matter, but the Heavenly Master had higher expectations of him and naturally had higher requirements for him.
Starting with Yin Five Thunders, doing the difficult at first and then the easy, will allow Zhang Lingyu's overly square personality to be more flexible and less stubborn. By the time his Yin Five Thunders have mastered them, when he wants to practice Yang Five Thunders which are more suitable for him, it will be much easier.
Parents love their children and plan for them long-term, and the same is true for teachers.
After Zhang Lingyu left the scene and the Fire Dragon Rescue Team transported the fire dragon away, Deng Youfu turned around and prepared to leave.
Hu Xiuwu called out to Deng Youfu, "Brother Deng, are you not going to watch the next assessment?"
Deng Youfu stopped and glanced at Cedric Diggory, who had just entered the venue with a nervous look, and said with a lack of interest:
"There's nothing to see. The remaining kids are far from Zhang Lingyu's level of cultivation. It's impossible for them to fight against the fire dragon. What follows is just a game of eagle catching chickens. There's nothing to see. I still have some research work to do in the Forbidden Forest, so I won't accompany you."
"Take your time to read it yourself."
Chapter 254 Settlement
Deng Youfu left the stadium, but Hu Xiuwu remained in the stands to watch the next game.
Just as Deng Youfu had inferred, the subsequent matches seemed extremely thrilling to the audience, but in Hu Xiuwu's eyes, they were nothing special.
Cedric Diggory and Viktor Krum are both typical Western wizards, so they use traditional wizard methods to deal with dragons.
The former used his superb Transfiguration skills to transform gravel into goats to lure the fire dragon, while the latter used the eye disease spell to attack the fire dragon's more vulnerable eye corners.
There was no external interference, and it was their first meeting. Although the mother dragon was grumpy during the egg-laying period, she was not too hostile towards them. After paying some injuries, the two successfully obtained the golden egg.
He didn't have much interest in the competition between the two of them. What Hu Xiuwu was most interested in was the second to last contestant, Mike Lucas from Behemoth.
He had not seen the methods used by the people inside Behemoth. Judging from the reports from the Yaoxing Society alone, Behemoth's path was different from the extraordinary paths of all other countries. They did not seek power from within, but relied entirely on external things, relying on biotechnology, to seek the evolution of the human body.
Its signature product is the SP series of biological agents, which can stimulate human potential and turn ordinary people into extraordinary people. However, the process is extremely dangerous and the survival rate is very low. It is said that only one person survived the SP-1 series experiments.
Hero Sean.
Now that the SP series has reached SP-11, the success rate has increased, but the strength of the successful experimental subjects has not exceeded that of the hero Sean.
It is said that Behemoth made a bold statement, saying that he would push the success rate of the SP series to 100%.
Hu Xiuwu has only one attitude towards this.
court death!
Today, the ratio of the number of aliens under Behemoth to ordinary people in their country is not much different from that of other countries, and has not yet reached the population red line.
In addition, their country's national strength is indeed strong now, so they just let the alien organizations in other countries do as they please.
But secretly, the alien organization in that country was not paying attention to this matter.
If that day comes, they really push up the success rate of the SP series of potions, let alone push it to 70%, even if the success rate of the SP only reaches 80~%, other countries will also be unable to sit still.
The forest kingdom that once ruled the entire European continent has been driven to the island of Nasen. What else can Behemoth lack!
If we are not careful, a world war may very likely begin.
The directors of Behemoth are not unaware of this truth, but they are confident that they have the support of the most powerful country today, so they appear to be fearless and act in a somewhat domineering manner.
In addition, the directors of Behemoth are ordinary people who control vast resources, the heads of chaebols, who only want to prolong their lives without any side effects and do not care about the safety of others.
This is also the biggest difference between Behemoth and other alien organizations in other countries. Other alien organizations have more or less the responsibility of maintaining stability in the domestic alien world.
But they only need to be responsible to the directors and ensure the interests of the company. They don't care about stability and unity.
Therefore, most of the aliens in Behemoth are selfish, and the SP biological potion has no requirements on one's character. No matter if you are lustful, cowardly, or perverted, as long as you meet the experimental requirements, there is a possibility of success.
Many successful SP biological potion experiment subjects do not have good character. Poor people who suddenly become rich and suddenly gain extraordinary powers have a nouveau riche mentality and indulge in the sensual pleasures prepared by Behemoth. They feel that they are superior to others and should be able to do whatever they want!
Only a very small number of people with extraordinary character can keep their original hearts and not get lost in the trap of desire provided by Behemoth.
Mike Lucas was able to successfully pass the Goblet of Fire selection, which at least showed that he possessed the qualities of sacrifice and loyalty, making him one of the very few, a butterfly among a pile of moths.
Hu Xiuwu was very curious about what this outstanding Mike Lucas was capable of.
Not only is Behemoth's training method very different from that of other countries, even the equipment of the warriors is unique.
The protective clothing of other warriors were either casual clothes like Zhang Lingyu, or cloth armor similar to that of modern soldiers like the warriors from the three magic schools.
After all, they are all wizards who don't cultivate their physical fitness. Even if they are given lighter chain mail, they can't hold on. This cloth armor is already the limit for this little wizard.
But Mike Lucas is different. He wears a futuristic combat suit with high-strength ceramic armor plates inlaid on the tights for protection, and he also wears smart goggles on his face.
Like the universal translator of the Heavenly Master, this pair of goggles is also a product of the combination of technology and alchemy. It can calculate real-time battlefield data for the wearer and predict the enemy's route of action. Although it is not as good as Friday and Jarvis, it is more than ten times better than ordinary artificial idiots.
Unlike Zhang Lingyu, Mike Lucas stopped pretending to be a human being when he came on stage. His body suddenly swelled up and he became a little giant like Hagrid, with his limbs stretched out and bent backwards, horns growing on his head, scales growing on his face, claws turning into hands, hooves turning into feet, and fleshy wings growing on his back.
He looked just like a demon from a Western legend, only slightly less ferocious and terrifying than Hu Xiuwu's ghost form. Many young wizards were frightened, and even Spencer had a solemn expression:
With this kind of strength, could it be that another 'hero' has appeared in Behemoth? Is he gifted, or has Behemoth's technology improved?
If the latter...
After Mike Lucas revealed his true face, the Norwegian Ridgeback opposite him snorted, scales stood up, and became very wary of him, roaring at him continuously, as if it had seen a predator of the same level.
Although he looked like a good fighter and was wearing armor, Mike Lucas did not move forward closely. Instead, like Zhang Lingyu, he picked up a piece of bluestone from the ground.
Orange-red flames rose from his body as if gushing out from the depths of hell. The flames attached to the bluestone, and the rock melted like mud. Along with the flames, it turned into a two-meter-high steel dragon-hunting spear that was as thick as a thigh.
Then Mike Lucas grabbed it and threw it with all his might at the Norwegian Ridgeback.
The dragon hunting spear made a shrill sound like a ghost's cry and turned into a black line. The Norwegian Ridgeback easily dodged it. The dragon hunting spear pierced into the ground of the stadium, half of the shaft was submerged.
The Norwegian Ridgeback roared at Mike Lucas, yelling at him and trying to spit dragon fire, but then he saw several dragon hunting spears rushing towards him like a rainstorm.
The fire dragon tried to take off and dodge in panic, but although the female Norwegian Ridgeback was much stronger than the male, it was still inferior to Shufeng. In addition, based on the experience of the previous game, the fire dragon keepers strengthened the fire dragon's chains.
What was originally a measure to protect the warriors turned out to be a shackle that prevented the fire dragon from escaping.
puff!
After being strengthened by the unknown flame, several sturdy dragon hunting spears easily tore through the dragon scales, pierced into the flesh, and finally got stuck on the hard dragon bones. The Norwegian Ridgeback could only lie dying in the dragon blood.
In the stands, Hagrid was so distressed that he was about to cry. He had already recognized that the Norwegian Ridgeback below was the one he hatched three years ago and named Norbert, and later renamed Norberta before he had no choice but to send it away.
Mike Lucas had no idea that he had made a half-giant cry, and he still walked coldly towards the golden dragon's nest, ignoring the mother dragon's pleas. He left aside the broken egg white in the dragon's nest and took the golden egg.
As soon as he got the golden egg, the fire dragon breeders rushed forward to rescue the fire dragon. In this day and age when the number of fire dragons is becoming increasingly scarce, every fire dragon is precious.
Charlie collected the broken dragon egg whites in the dragon's nest with great heartache.
Mike Lucas won this match cleanly, but because his appearance was too terrifying and easily made people associate him with bad things, the audience had a bad impression of him, and some even felt disgusted and afraid of him.
At this point, the only warrior who had not yet played a game was Harry Potter, but Hu Xiuwu had no interest in the next game. After all, Harry Potter's tactics were thought up by Hermione and him with the help of Harry.
Hermione had already helped Harry bring his broom to the stands so that Harry could use the Summoning Charm to summon his broom faster. At the same time, Harry was sprayed with a potion that had the opposite function to that on Zhang Lingyu's body and could reduce the fire dragon's hostility towards him.
This was also the help provided by Hu Xiuwu to thank Harry for his willingness to share the secret.
Everything went smoothly. Before the dragon became hostile, Harry used his superb flying skills to circle around the dragon. Finally, when the dragon wasn't paying attention, he took the golden egg from the dragon's nest.
After Harry got the dragon egg, the first game officially ended. There were six referees, each with ten points, and they would score based on the performance of each warrior.
Zhang Lingyu obtained the highest score of 54 points in the game, because he was the only warrior among all the warriors who was not injured, defeated the fire dragon, and did not cause irreversible damage. He received five full marks, and only Igor Karkarov gave him a low score.
Next up was Harry Potter, with 49 points, followed by Viktor Krum and Mike Lucas, who tied for 48 points.
When Viktor was fighting the fire dragon, he accidentally let the dragon break the real egg, which was a minus point. But Igor Karkaroff was a biased guy and gave him full marks. Although it caused constant boos from the audience, it also raised his score.
Then, it was Fleur and Cedric's forty-six points.
The first game was temporarily over, and Dumbledore asked the warriors to take the golden egg back and find the secret of the golden egg.
In addition to the secret inside the golden egg that needs to be found out urgently, Zhang Lingyu has other worries.
Chapter 255 Dance Partner
"Brother, do you feel that those girls always appear in front of me recently?"
In the Hogwarts library, Zhang Lingyu was flipping through the "Compendium of Potions" and asked Hu Xiuwu suspiciously.
Recently he felt that a lot of girls suddenly appeared around him, always hanging around him intentionally or unintentionally, finding excuses to chat with him.
