The Little Superman of Hogwarts

Outside the maze, on the grassy field, four giant screens displayed the real-time movements of the four contestants.

This massive snail maze, previously folded together using spatial compression technology, appeared astonishingly large once fully unfolded, resembling a colossal skyscraper.

The participants looked like four small ants in front of it.

The four giant screens projected the images of these four individuals in four directions, spreading out like a fan.

"It feels like the interior style of the snail shell is quite strange..." This was the thought in the minds of all the students present.

The exterior of the snail shell looked very Western fantasy-like, but stepping inside was completely different. The interior was entirely decorated in a Chinese style, with ancient city walls and intricate pavilions.

After the four individuals entered, they faced the same monster: a giant war treant!

Related to the famous Whomping Willow of Hogwarts, this was a tall tree transplanted from the African continent, exceeding 30 meters in height. The contestants had to either pass it or defeat their respective opponents.

Harry Potter took the lead, waving his wand and chanting complex spells. Beams of light shot towards the maple treant, but the treant easily blocked them with its thick branches. It retaliated by swinging its branches, and Harry Potter dodged nimbly.

On Cedric's side, the baobab treant possessed immense strength, each attack causing the ground to shake. Cedric responded calmly, casting clever spells to bind parts of the treant's branches.

Krum, on the other hand, relied on his own strong physique to engage in close combat with the banyan treant, while also using magic to disrupt the treant's movements.

As for Fleur, the cactus treant was covered in sharp thorns. Fleur carefully avoided the sharp points, trying to find its weakness before launching an attack.

Just as everyone was engaged in a fierce battle, the space within the maze suddenly flickered. This was an additional test set up for the competition. The unstable space was about to trigger a magical turbulence. The contestants had to quickly defeat the treants in front of them, or they would be drawn into danger. Harry Potter's eyes became even more determined. He focused his mind, preparing to unleash his most powerful magic to defeat the enemy with one blow.

The light at the tip of Harry Potter's wand shone brightly, and flames surged out, instantly enveloping the treant. The treant let out a painful roar, and the surrounding air was distorted by the high temperature.

The audience outside the arena, seeing Harry Potter's powerful magic, felt both admiration and anxiety.

Cedric accelerated the casting of his spells. He summoned countless vines to entangle the baobab treant, and then a powerful severing curse flew out, successfully cutting off some of the treant's branches, significantly reducing its combat power. Taking advantage of the banyan treant's unsteady movements due to the magical turbulence, Krum pounced forward and used all his strength to insert his wand into the treant's body, subsequently releasing a freezing spell that froze the treant's core.

Fleur also found that the root of the cactus treant was its weakness. She cast a powerful piercing spell that directly penetrated the root, and the cactus treant crashed down.

At this time, the treant in front of Harry Potter had been burned to only a tree trunk, still emitting black smoke.

To everyone's surprise, Harry Potter was the first to defeat his opponent and walked towards the door to the second stage.

Waiting for him was a giant shark, or rather, a group of giant great white sharks, with some crocodiles mixed in between.

The task in this level was still to kill, kill, kill, to eliminate all these crocodiles and great white sharks, or to avoid them and enter the next door. Because it was a maze, Harry Potter had no clue. He was trapped in the underwater world of the second level.

A full half hour after Harry Potter entered the second level, Cedric defeated his opponent and laboriously pushed open the door to the second level.

Krum and Cedric entered the second level almost simultaneously. Although Krum was disheveled, his eyes shone brightly, and he was full of energy.

In contrast, Fleur, who had the highest score among the four, appeared somewhat overwhelmed at this moment. Her originally elegant posture became flustered when facing such a powerful opponent as the treant. The treants swung their thick branches, attacking Fleur like a storm. She dodged left and right, and the wand in her hand kept flashing, but each attack seemed so hasty and weak.

Finally, after a hard-fought battle, Fleur managed to barely withstand the treant's fierce offensive and found a glimmer of opportunity to escape. By this time, a long time had passed since the other three had almost cleared the second level. When Fleur breathlessly stepped into the door of the second level, she found that she had already fallen behind the others.

On the other side, Harry Potter was like a god of war, freely moving through the water. Holding his wand, he chanted incantations, and sharp spells shot out from the tip of the wand, accurately hitting the target. In a short period, more than a dozen ferocious great white sharks and six or seven giant crocodiles had fallen at his feet.

It is worth mentioning that each contestant faced different opponents. For example, Cedric encountered mainly agile octopuses with numerous tentacles; while Krum had to deal with turtles known for their hard shells and sharp teeth, as well as slippery and surprisingly strong catfish.

Dangers abounded in the middle, and everyone outside the arena was on tenterhooks, but even Fleur, the slowest, had combat power and skills far superior to ordinary students. The competition between the four was extremely exciting.

Harry Potter spent a full 1 hour and 20 minutes completing the slaughter in the second level. The second level itself was a marine world composed of mazes, and after completing the slaughter, it also took him a lot of time to find the correct path.

After the door to the third level opened, Harry was a little dazed. It was filled with a strong stench and was extremely dim. It looked like it was in an underground cave...

In fact, this was indeed an underground maze!

This level was a three-dimensional maze, with many giant rats and snakes interspersed among them to attack the contestants. The four contestants had to defeat these enemies, evade these ambushes or attacks, and ultimately find the correct exit.

When he first entered, Harry was a little nervous, but after a few minutes, he completely calmed down, used the Lumos spell to illuminate the way forward, and then groped through the maze bit by bit, forming a map in his mind.

Nearly two hours after he entered the third level, Cedric broke through the second level and also stepped into this underground maze.

At this time, Krum was still fighting his marine opponents, and he was almost choked to death several times.

Fleur's situation was slightly better, but Fleur's shortcomings were also obvious. She was only focused on avoiding attacks, although there was less danger, but she was getting further and further away from the maze exit.

Klee and Dumbledore were both ready for rescue at all times, but it seemed that the contestants were more capable.

In this way, a full eight hours passed, and at this time, Harry had already reached the door to the fourth level.

As for the other three contestants, the worst, Fleur, was still in the marine world, and Cedric and Krum were wandering around underground. It seemed that they were at least six or seven hours away from the fourth level.

The two adopted similar methods. Cedric had brought a huge leaf in the first level, and he drew the entire underground maze on the leaf, and now he had explored half of the journey.

Krum used his clothes to draw the maze using magic on the clothes, and now he has walked 1/3 of the way.

These contestants inevitably felt hunger and cold. The audience outside the arena changed wave after wave. When they were hungry, they went to eat something, and when they were thirsty, they went to drink some water, but everyone's passion did not diminish.

Dumbledore announced that there would be no curfew tonight, and everyone could watch the end of the game here.
