Of the four, Harry looked a little awkward because his status as a champion didn't seem legitimate at all.
"Don't worry, now that you've been chosen, just work hard and don't care what others think."
Hao Yun offered Harry a few words of comfort.
Harry nodded blankly, torn between whether or not to go to Dumbledore and withdraw from the competition.
After some discussion, the three headmasters decided that Harry's spot in the competition would remain valid.
Anyway, he's just a fourth-year wizard, so he'll probably be eliminated in the first round.
"Four chosen warriors, the Triwizard Tournament will officially begin in two weeks. Please get ready."
Dumbledore said a few words and then sent the four of them back.
Back in the Gryffindor common room, Harry was still worried.
"Congratulations!"
"Esteemed warriors, would you like to say something in your acceptance speech?"
A large group of young wizards gathered around, and Fred and George joined in the commotion.
Both contestants were Gryffindor students, which made everyone feel extremely honored.
Amidst everyone's compliments, Harry gradually accepted the fact that he was a contestant.
The only one in Gryffindor who was unhappy was Ron.
He felt betrayed by his friend Harry, who knew how to register but hadn't told him. Harry wanted to participate too, but Harry knew how to register.
As for Hao Yun, Fred and George both said that they had also signed up with Hao Yun's help, but they were not selected.
Ron had no complaints about Hao Yun becoming a warrior, after all, Hao Yun was too strong.
The next day, a trend emerged in the academy: everyone was wearing a sign that said Harry was a terrible person.
This situation arose because people felt that Harry's spot as a champion was obtained through improper means.
Hao Yun, another contestant, wasn't criticized because no one dared to buy his sign.
First, Hao Yun has a great reputation; second, anyone who dares to mess with Hao Yun usually ends up getting a beating.
Thirdly, the Ravenclaw girls were incredibly fierce; to protect Hao Yun, they beat up the people who made the sign.
So those dissatisfied people could only complain and grumble in private.
Harry, who was initially quite happy, became exhausted and depressed because of the sign issue, and wanted to go to Dumbledore to withdraw from the competition.
However, he was eventually persuaded by Ron, and the small conflict between the two was resolved.
Inside the headmaster's office, Dumbledore was in a terrible predicament. He wanted to know who had put Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire.
The events that followed the Quidditch match had already put Dumbledore on guard, but he hadn't expected that trouble would arise before the Triwizard Tournament even began.
Two weeks later, the three-way battle for supremacy officially began.
Outside the competition venue, the young wizards had already found their spots and were waiting for the competition to begin.
In the Warriors' locker room, Hao Yun glanced at the female reporter with some impatience.
The reports this guy wrote recently are complete fabrications; he portrayed Furong and Haoyun as a shy couple who haven't yet established a romantic relationship.
The fact that two warriors from different academies are in love is quite sensational, and the recent news has caused them a lot of trouble.
The boys at Hogwarts looked at Hao Yun as if he were their enemy.
The girls at Hogwarts were even more eager to strangle Fleur and take her place.
The most terrifying thing was that Hao Yun actually found a love potion in his food while he was eating!
Chapter 336 Official Competition
In short, what has happened recently has caused Hao Yun a lot of trouble.
As the reporter who started it all, Hao Yun really wanted to kill her with a sword!
Hao Yun gave her a cold look, then stepped aside and sat down in a chair without saying a word.
The other three contestants, Furong, closed her eyes to rest, trying to avoid being bothered by reporters.
Viktor was more direct, fiddling with his wand and giving off a "keep away" vibe.
Harry, however, was anxious and flustered. Ever since he learned that the first challenge would involve dealing with a dragon, he hadn't been able to eat or sleep properly for the past few days, fearing that he would be killed by the dragon during the competition.
Barty, an official from the Ministry of Magic, walked in; he was one of the judges for this year's Triwizard Tournament.
"Warriors, come here! Your first challenge is to snatch the golden egg that the fire dragons are protecting. Only by obtaining the golden egg can you enter the second challenge."
Batty held up the cloth bag, gesturing for everyone to come over and make a blind selection.
Inside the bag are four different kinds of fire dragons. Whichever one you draw, you'll have to deal with that same fire dragon soon.
"I'll go first."
Without thinking, Hao Yun reached out and grabbed one at random.
"Tree bee, the fiercest of the four dragons, good luck."
Barty smiled, thinking that Hao Yun's luck was a bit bad.
With the most ferocious dragon removed, the remaining three were much more at ease.
"Since you chose first, you can go first, okay?"
After everyone had chosen their targets, Barty asked Hao Yun with a smile.
"Can I go out now?"
Having received an affirmative reply from Barty, Hao Yun stepped out of the tent and entered the gladiatorial arena that had been prepared in advance.
In the arena, the dragon was restless, constantly tugging at the iron chain around its neck.
"Tree bee! Tree bee!"
The onlookers cheered; the tree wasp's ferocious appearance excited everyone.
"Let's welcome our first contestant, Hao Yun!"
Commentator Li Qiaodan began to warm up the audience by loudly introducing Hao Yun's deeds.
As Hao Yun entered the venue and listened to the cheers around him, he felt like a monkey in a zoo.
The tree wasps, which were lurking on the artificial hill and roaring, turned around and spewed flames when they saw someone walk in.
Gasps of surprise came from the stands. They looked at Hao Yun, who remained unresponsive, and some of the more timid ones covered their eyes.
Hao Yun frowned slightly, waved his hand, and drew his flying sword, directly severing the tree bee's head.
Dumbledore, who had been all smiles just moments before, froze. These dragons were rented; killing them would mean paying compensation.
The principals of the other two schools stared at the headless tree wasp, their heads buzzing.
These are fourth-grade students!
What fourth-grade student could kill a fire dragon so easily!
Hao Yun kicked the tree bee away, took the golden egg from under it, and turned back to the lounge.
The people in the stands were still in shock. It wasn't until Hao Yun left that they reacted and cheered.
The staff removed the dead tree bee and began urging the second contestant to take the stage.
The second contestant was Fu Rong. Having prepared in advance, she easily stole the golden egg and won the first match.
The third contestant was Viktor, who used various forms of dark magic to defeat the fire dragon and obtain the golden egg.
Although the people on the field were cheering, the impact brought by Viktor was clearly not as great as that of Hao Yun.
The last contestant, Harry Potter, after a series of arduous struggles, also won the golden egg.
"Let's congratulate the four warriors on successfully completing the first round of the competition. The second match will be held in a month."
Dumbledore announced the time for the next match, and the young wizards who had been watching reluctantly dispersed.
The four warriors returned to their respective academies to begin receiving the glory that was rightfully theirs.
Hao Yun, who dislikes crowds, quietly slipped out while everyone was celebrating with Harry.
After leaving the Gryffindor common room, Hao Yun wandered around the castle.
Hao Yun wandered around aimlessly, feeling somewhat lost. He didn't know what else he could do now.
Having already reached the Golden Core stage, the time required to further improve one's cultivation is enormous.
As for pills that can enhance cultivation, they require high-grade medicinal materials, and high-grade medicinal materials are rare in the world.
After three years of working with the pharmacy, I only managed to buy one 800-year-old ginseng root.
During my holiday trip across mainland China, I spent so much time exploring the Amazon rainforest, but I didn't find any rare or valuable medicinal herbs.
The pills Hao Yun is currently using are low-grade and have little effect on improving his cultivation.
If one wants to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage by taking this kind of pill, it will take at least several decades.
With a long time span and no real danger, Hao Yun became too lazy to continue cultivating.
Feeling lost and confused, Hao Yun began to ponder the meaning of his existence.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the second match of the three-way battle has officially begun.
The golden egg you get in the first match contains clues about the second match.
Therefore, the contestants already knew what the second match was.
Upon arriving at Black Lake, Dumbledore announced the start of the match.
Harry stood beside Hao Yun, swallowed hard, and swallowed the prepared gill grass.
"I'm going down now."
After saying that, Harry gritted his teeth and jumped into the Black Lake.
The other two contestants had already entered the water to search for what they considered the most important thing.
