The other four Champion were completely bewildered. While they were still risking their lives to fight the dragon, Aaron had quietly dealt with the Antipodean Opaleye.

Harry was a little better off; he knew Aaron could speak Dragon Language Dragon Language, but he didn't expect it to be effective in this situation.

Cedric, Krum, and Phoebe couldn't accept it; putting a Dragon Speaker in this project would make everyone else just a foil.

"Damn connections."

Phoebe looked at Aaron, who was sitting calmly in area four, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

This method of cheating is truly unique and unconventional, and no one can find fault with it, but it just makes her feel particularly angry.

Aaron was unaware of what the others were thinking, and he didn't care about the gasps of the audience and the referees. He was now completely focused on analyzing the battle situation in the other four areas.

After a quick glance, he immediately came to a pessimistic conclusion: there was no possibility of negotiation.

Phoebe hypnotized the Welsh Green Dragon; once she obtains the Golden Egg, the Welsh Green Dragon will wake up.

He didn't know what the mother dragon would do if she discovered one of her Dragon Egg was missing, but he was certain she wouldn't pretend nothing had happened.

Cedric faced a similar situation with the Swedish Short-Snout Dragon, not to mention the Hungarian Horntail Dragon and the Chinese Fireball.

The Hungarian Horntail Dragon chased Harry like a fly, and although it looked extremely dangerous, it could never catch him and was completely outmaneuvered.

A dragon in a fit of rage is not one to reason, especially after its Golden Egg has been stolen.

As for the Chinese Fireball, it was temporarily blinded by Krum's Conjunctivitis Curse. In its enraged state, it went berserk and even crushed several of the Dragon Egg it was guarding.

"This is going to be tough!" Aaron muttered. Now it all comes down to who gets the Golden Egg first, and that person's first opponent will be the dragon they face.

Finally, a few minutes Ludo Bagman's voice echoed throughout the paddock, "Harry Potter, our youngest Champion has obtained the Golden Egg in the fastest time."

Looking up, I saw Harry riding Firebolt, circling overhead, with a Golden Egg tucked into his arms.

He looked particularly disheveled, with part of his robe burned off and his arms injured and bleeding profusely, but the smile on his face was unmistakably clear.

Click!

The sound of chains breaking rang out, and a transparent barrier appeared in everyone's sight, only to disappear at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, the Hungarian Horntail Dragon was also covered with a pale yellow halo.

It seemed to feel as if some kind of restriction had been lifted from its body, and let out a joyful roar.

The deafening sound echoed through the sky, Harry couldn't help but shudder. The joy of winning first place and successfully passing the level was instantly replaced by terror, and he immediately controlled the Firebolt to fly out of the arena.

The other Champion ' mood turned somber. Aaron Gaius's performance as Dragon Speaker had already exceeded their expectations, meaning he could win at any time. However, he seemed to take Adrian's request very seriously and did not leave the court first, which indirectly stopped the Antipodean Opaleye from becoming Dragon.

But now that Harry Potter has surpassed them to be the first to get the Golden Egg, their mentality has been shattered.

The weakest of them cleared the level first, leaving the most ferocious Tree Peak Dragon to them.

Cedric, Krum, and Phoebe all felt immense pressure, and each of them unconsciously sped up their work, trying to get the Golden Egg before the Hungarian Horntail attacked them.

"It's time to officially begin." Aaron sighed slightly. "I didn't expect that the first one we'd have to deal with would be the Hungarian Horntail Dragon. That's quite a challenge."

"Are you leaving?" the Antipodean Opaleye said meaningfully. "I won't help you. They're not as easy to talk to as I am."

"I, Ai Bai, guard my Golden Egg well, and I will come to you for it in the end."

"Good luck, Dragon Speaker."

Aaron smiled helplessly, then stood up and drew his black Wand.

"Leave Tree Peak Dragon to me for now, you guys continue." Aaron used Amplification Charm to notify the other three Champion, then waved his Wand and cast a provocative Sleeping Charm on Tree Peak Dragon's face.

Harry's Zone 5 was right next to Aaron's Zone 4. The Tree Peak Dragon was still hesitating about which one to attack, but now it didn't need to choose anymore. It simply spread its wings and pounced.

Seeing this, the Antipodean Opaleye decisively retreated to the edge of area four with its nest of Dragon Egg, indicating that it would not participate.

The other three Champion exchanged bewildered glances, especially Phoebe, who looked utterly confused. Was he really planning to be the last one to clear the level? Jian Qi went crazy.

However, no matter how many questions they have now, no one will answer them for them. The most important thing is to hurry up and get their Dragon Egg.

Aaron's provocation of the Tree Peak Dragon was also seen by every spectator, and all the Slytherin students were not surprised, but they were worried for him.

Adrian smiled with interest, picked up Abei, grabbed a fruit platter, and began to admire it with great interest.

"Miss Klein, this..." Dumbledore asked doubtfully, "Do you know why he did this?"

"To avoid an arrangement he doesn't want to accept but finds hard to refuse," Adrian said meaningfully. Whether Dumbledore could understand was none of her concern.

On the field, Aaron calmly picked up his Wand as he watched the Hungarian Horntail swooping down.

"Protego."

A layer of transparent armor draped over his body relieved some of the pressure on him.

"Next, the Disillusionment Charm."

Aaron's figure disappeared as soon as he left, leaving the Hungarian Horntail that had just pounced on him somewhat dumbfounded.

Where is he? Such a big person!

"The Disillusionment Charm," Ludo Bagman exclaimed. "This is a spell used exclusively by Auror. I never expected Mr. Gaius to have mastered such a spell."

"And Shield Charm." Crouch turned to look at Dumbledore. "Are these two things that a fourth-level Warlock should know?"

"Barty, all I can say is that Mr. Gaius's talent is beyond your imagination."

When the Hungarian Horntail could not find anyone, it looked up to the sky and howled, its cry soaring into the clouds.

It flew through the air, its cold, vertical pupils staring down, before suddenly spewing out a burst of Dragon Fire.

Crimson flames swept in all directions, and the Monolith in the field rapidly melted under this extreme heat.

It knew very well that this person didn't have any magical gadgets that allowed them to fly, and given the limited space, being forced out was only a matter of time.

But he never expected that the Fire Dragon Slayer Mage was immune to fire. Aaron not only didn't panic at all, but was also very calm.

If it weren't for some old bastard on the referee's bench who saw through his Disillusionment Charm, he would have liked to go and experience the Dragon Fire. Apart from the impact, it was no different from soaking in a hot spring for him.

Just as Aaron was calmly delaying Hungarian Horntail in this way, Krum obtained the second Dragon Egg.

As the magical barrier in Zone 3 was lifted, the Chinese Fireball roared and soared into the sky. It struggled to open its eyes, and the first thing it saw was Dragon Egg that was half broken.

Rage surged through its brain, consuming its reason, but a glimmer of understanding flashed in its pupils when it saw the Golden Egg in Krum's hand, and it flew away unwillingly to other areas.

"Krum the second to get the Golden Egg. Although it was dangerous, he was unharmed," Ludo Bagman explained.

"That's great, Viktor!" Karkaroff clapped excitedly.

"Oh no, the Chinese Fireball seems to have targeted area two. Miss Delacour is in danger."

Maxime stood up nervously from the referee's stand. Phoebe had finally managed to hypnotize the Welsh Green Dragon, but now an enraged Dragon had joined the fray, which would not only ruin her efforts but also make her situation extremely dangerous.

"Don't worry, Principal Maxime," Karkaroff chuckled gleefully. "The dragon trainers will act quickly, and Miss Klein has said she will save her life."

"Everything will be alright," Adrian reassured Yu. "I have a lot of faith in him."

The Chinese Fireball didn't do anything fancy; it was currently very angry, and while flying towards the Phoebe, it spat out a flame that was twenty feet long.

Just as Phoebe was at a loss, a wall of earth suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the terrifying Dragon Fire.

"Miss Delacour, please hurry up, I can't hold out much longer." Aaron's impatient voice came over, followed by the roar of the Chinese Fireball.

A red spell shot out from an open area in Zone 4, hitting the Chinese Fireball squarely in the face.

It's the same familiar recipe, the same familiar flavor.

Another adult Dragon was drawn to the Sleeping Charm and flew to area four.

Watching the Chinese Fireball away, Phoebe breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression became quite uneasy.

Even if this person with connections possesses the special ability to Dragon Language, this is still far too arrogant. How dare they provoke two adult fire Dragon?

But the next moment she had no time to worry about others, because the Chinese Fireball's antics had caused the Welsh Green Dragon to show signs of waking up.

Left with no other choice, Phoebe resorted to her old tricks and hypnotized it once again.

At this moment, deafening cheers erupted in the arena, followed by Ludo Bagman's excited commentary. "Excellent! Cedric has passed the Swedish Short-Snout Dragon and successfully obtained the Golden Egg."

The sound of chains breaking rang out. The Swedish Short-Snout Dragon glared angrily at Cedric, whose face was half burned by the Dragon Fire's flames, and wanted to continue attacking, but seeing the Golden Egg in Cedric's hand, it had to give up the idea.

Its pupils scanned the arena. In area four, Tree Peak and Chinese Fireball were using Dragon Fire to cleanse the ground, so it wasn't suitable for it to join in. Instead, it focused its attention on Phoebe Delacour.

"Oh, no."

Phoebe noticed the silver-blue Dragon Accio towards them and was immediately alarmed. She sped up and rushed towards the Golden Egg.

She was moving very fast, her right hand getting closer and closer to the Golden Egg. As long as she could grab it before the Swedish Short-Snout Dragon over, she would be safe.

However, things didn't go as planned. As soon as she rushed up to the Welsh Green Dragon, it started snoring and spewed a red flame from its nostrils.
