Chapter 233: Charles Potter
As it turned out, there was no problem with Yingenetius's judgment at all.
I don't know if it's because there was a fault in the fourth grade, or because the first place in the second and third grades is too strong, the duel with Lucretia Blake hardly made Xiwen feel any difficulty.
If it weren't for the emotions of this little girlfriend of Agenesius, Xiwen would probably have defeated her with a few simple spells.
This duel Xiwen basically acted the whole way, and finally "narrowly defeated" Lucretia in a situation that was almost evenly matched.
Seeing that Lucretia had a regretful and somewhat resentful expression on her face, Xiwen glanced at Inganesius in the audience without a trace and spread her hands to him.
Agenesius gave him a thumbs up and said silently with his mouth, "I'll cover the next time you go to Hogsmeade!" ”
Xiwen smiled and nodded, and then didn't stop for long, and walked straight to the fifth-grade dueling table.
The first place in the fifth grade standings was a Ravenclaw wizard named Angus McMagus, who was a little stronger than Lucretia, but after all, because he didn't have much actual combat experience, he didn't cause much trouble for Xiwen.
Under the shocked gaze of the students and professors in the audience, Xiwen slowly walked to the sixth-grade dueling stage.
"Mr. Rozier, you've been dueling three times in a row, don't you really need a break?" Professor Meleth's gaze was also surprised, and he looked at Xiwen and asked. "If you want to take a break before continuing, I can arrange a fourth-year challenge to start the duel first."
"In addition, I must remind you that the sixth year students of Hogwarts are all excellent wizards who have passed the ordinary wizarding level exam, and they are already considered the backbone of the wizarding world, so don't misestimate their strength!"
Xiwen looked at Professor Meles, nodded slightly, and said, "Let's just continue." I won't waste everyone's time, just have a bottle of mana recovery potion. ”

Seeing this, Professor Meles didn't have much to admonish, so he nodded helplessly.
When Xiwen arrived next to the dueling table in the sixth grade, he casually took a bottle of mana recovery potion from the shelf next to the steps and drank it down.
In fact, the duel with Lucretia in the fourth grade and McMags in the fifth grade just now didn't take much of his physical strength.
You know, at that time, Xiwen could open the portal and run to more than a dozen different places in a day to duel offline with those trolls who wrote the manuscript, and the battle situation at that time was definitely much more exciting than today's situation.
That is, after listening to Professor Meles's persuasion, I knew that the seniors in the sixth grade had passed the high-pressure study of the fifth grade and passed the owl exam (. L.), definitely much stronger than a fifth-year wizard, that's why Xiwen decided to drink a bottle of potion just to be on the safe side, otherwise he might not even need to replenish his mana......
"I'm still the senior who challenges for the first place in the standings." After drinking the potion, Xiwen walked up to the dueling stage, and looked at the disheveled senior wizard sitting at the front of the stage.
The wizard smiled and stood up from his chair.
"Are you sure, junior brother?" He said with a hippie smile. "I'm very strong, why don't you change to a slightly weaker opponent, so that the birth rate may be higher?"
"Shivin Rozier, please advise, sir." Xiwen ignored his words and simply spoke neatly.
"You don't seem to have a great sense of humor, Rozier." The shaggard-haired wizard stepped up to the dueling ring, casually hanging his wand to his side, and then looked at Xiwen and said.
"Alright then, I'm Charlesse Potter, Gryffindor's sixth-year boys' prefect. Accept your challenge now on behalf of the sixth year students at Hogwarts! ”
After bowing to each other, the duel officially began.
As soon as Professor Meleth's three numbers were counted, the sixth-year senior, Charles Potter, quickly used the Silent Spell in quick succession, casting two spells that were horns of each other, and the two spells even cooperated with each other, almost sealing off Xiwen's hiding space.
Shewin immediately realized the difference from the previous duels.
Potter seems to have developed his own unique dueling rhythm and sense of battle, and his skillful use of the silent spell has caught Shiwen quite off guard.
Seeing this situation, Xiwen hurriedly recited the iron armor spell with a relatively short spell, which was able to block the attack of Potter's two spells.
However, in the next moment, this Potter cast several other spells one after another, completely sealing Xiwen's retreat and forcing him to thicken the iron armor spell to resist.
In desperation, Xiwen could only continue to inject more mana into the transparent barrier in front of him, so as to resist the spells that flew one after another.
Potter seemed to have anticipated Xiwen's actions, chuckled, and then recited two incantations in quick succession—
"Deprimo!"
"Circumrota!"
The first spell was cast on the ground beneath Xiwen's feet, and the latter came first, flying overhead almost at the same time as the previous spell.
"Boom!"
A large hole was suddenly blown out of the ground beneath Xiwen's feet, a tactic that Riddle had used in previous duels. It seems that this senior has seen the duel between Xiwen and Riddle.
However, this time, as Shivin told Riddle, the Collapse Charm would only work better if it was paired with another spell that hit the air.
Potter apparently listened to Shevan, whose latter whirling spell completely deprived him of room to jump.
Looking at it now, it seems that Xiwen's choice is either to fall from the big hole in the dueling ring, fall to the ground and lose the match; Either he was knocked flying by the whirling spell in the air and then fell outside the dueling ring as well, and he still lost the match.
Xiwen didn't seem to have any other way.
"How's it going, Rozier?" Potter said with a smile. "I have to say, your teaching to that second-year wizard is really useful."
Siwen didn't have time to pay attention to Potter's teasing at this point. Faced with the attack of two spells, he fell silently to the large hole in the countertop.
Just when the audience thought that the third-grade dark horse had finally chosen to give up and was about to stop in the duel match of the sixth-grade challenge, Xiwen's figure suddenly stopped in mid-air-
His school robe had hardened through Transfiguration, and it just snapped into the sides of the large holes in the countertop, holding Xiwen's body on it. At the same time, he also took this opportunity to dodge the whirling spell in the sky.
"Do you think you're the only one who knows Transfiguration?" Potter put away his smile and said with a slow frown.
Then, he pointed his wand in the direction where Xiwen was, and the large hole in the countertop immediately began to widen.
However, Xiwen's eyes moved, and he raised his hand and waved his wand, forcibly stopping the signs of the cave separation.
In the next moment, Xiwen completely took over the control of the transformation, and slowly closed the countertop under Potter's stunned gaze, and finally raised part of the countertop into a delicate and luxurious armchair, supporting Xiwen's body.
Then, Shivin stood up from his chair, his school robe supple and falling straight behind his calves.
Potter's eyes widened.
"Where did a third-year little wizard get such a strong transfiguration ......," he couldn't help but complain.
After all, Potter was not slow at all.
He immediately gave up his plan to use Transfiguration to confront Xiwen, and instead quickly grasped his advantage, and instead used a large number of silent spells to "suppress Xiwen's firepower".
Xiwen, who was not familiar with silent spells, could only recite spells to cast spells successfully, so his spell casting speed was at least two or three times slower than that of Potter.
He was quickly pushed into a bit of a scramble by Potter.
