Multiverse Skill System

Page 205

This is a world where magic and technology coexist. The magical world is hidden in the shadows and unknown to the world. People in the magical world call those who do not use magic "Muggles." The story tells the tale of our protagonist, Harry Potter, who, while studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, fights against a former Dark Lord of the magical world.

Looking at Harry Potter, who was dressed in a suitcase and carrying an owl, Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment before walking over.

"If you're looking for Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, I can help you!"

Little Harry was startled by Yi Shuihan's arrival. He looked at Yi Shuihan with some wariness, but he was tempted by Yi Shuihan's suggestion. However, he was unsure whether he should trust this unfamiliar Easterner.

"Judging from your appearance, you must be a new student at Hogwarts! If you don't hurry, you might miss the train. Come with me!"

Without waiting for Harry's reaction, Yi Shuihan started walking around, heading towards Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.

As for why Yi Shuihan could easily find out where Platform Nine and Three-Quarters was, it was because he had already seen several people with magical energy fluctuations walking in one direction not far away, and all he needed to do was follow them.

Little Harry watched Yi Shuihan walk away, and finally pushed his luggage to catch up. In fact, this was the only option he had now.

By the time Harry caught up with Yi Shuihan, Yi Shuihan was already standing not far between bus stop signs 9 and 10. Just moments before, Yi Shuihan had witnessed several people jogging through the wall.

“Interesting. No wonder no one noticed the anomaly here. There’s a magical fluctuation that’s affecting people’s thoughts. Here, even if you see someone pass through a wall, you won’t find it strange, and you’ll quickly forget about it.”

"Sir, is Platform 9¾ here?"

"That's right, you just need to go through that wall to get there."

Yi Shuihan pointed to the wall in the middle of the bus stop sign and said.

Because he missed the live broadcast, little Harry couldn't accept it immediately and looked at Yi Shuihan with a skeptical gaze.

"Okay, I'll go over first and give you a demonstration. You can follow me."

As if taking a stroll, Yi Shuihan slowly walked to the wall in the middle of the bus stop, and without stopping, he bumped into it.

Before Harry Potter could even utter the word "Little...", his eyes widened, and he could no longer utter a sound. Right before his eyes, Yi Shuihan vanished.

If Harry Potter hadn't already been to Diagon Alley and had a basic understanding of the wizarding world, he would never have believed that such a bizarre thing could happen right before his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Harry Potter pushed his luggage toward the wall. He slowed down instinctively as he hit it, but still managed to get through the wall and arrive at the real Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.

Harry Potter smiled broadly when he saw the words "Hogwarts Express" on the engine of the train.

"It's simple, isn't it, Harry?"

Yi Shuihan's voice rang out from beside Harry Potter.

"you know me?"

Harry Potter seemed somewhat surprised that Yi Shuihan had called him by his name so readily.

"Of course, I have heard about your situation."

Yi Shuihan pointed to Harry Potter's forehead, where a lightning bolt scar ran beneath his hair.

Harry Potter reached out and touched his scar, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes. He had already heard about the origin of the scar from Hagrid, and touching it reminded him of his parents.

Are you also a student going to Hogwarts?

Fortunately, he was still young, and Harry Potter quickly forgot his troubles and asked Yi Shuihan curiously.

Do I look like this to you?

Yi Shuihan appeared to be around 20 years old at this time, with an ethereal air that gave him an extremely mysterious aura.

Harry shook his head and then asked, "So, are you a teacher at Hogwarts?"

"No, I am a cultivator from the East. I am curious about the magical world and want to learn more about it, so I plan to visit Hogwarts."

Upon meeting Harry Potter, Yi Shuihan had already decided to visit Hogwarts. He was quite interested in the various forms of magic and magical creatures in this world. Since he had come to this world, it would be a waste not to visit Hogwarts.

"Eastern cultivators? How are they different from magicians?"

"They are definitely different, completely different systems. I mainly cultivate immortal techniques, and in terms of the difficulty of cultivation, immortal techniques are far more difficult than magic."

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Harry Potter didn't quite understand the meaning behind Yi Shuihan's words, but that didn't stop him from being amazed.

"By the way, my name is Yi Shuihan. I'll be staying at Hogwarts for a while, so feel free to come find me if you have time."

Chapter 516, Infiltrating the School

Without a train ticket, one cannot board the train, and Yi Shuihan did not board either, although he could easily have done so if he wanted to.

The train sped across the ground, passing hills, forests, and plains, while Yi Shuihan soared through the clouds in the sky.

Yi Shuihan wouldn't keep up with the train's pace; he knew that by the time the train arrived at Hogwarts, it would be dark.

Not knowing the exact location of Hogwarts is no problem for Yi Shuihan. Just follow the train tracks and you'll reach your destination. It's that simple, isn't it?

After flying for about half an hour, Yi Shuihan saw a huge castle complex; they had arrived at Hogwarts.

Outside Hogwarts is a lake, and generally, new students need to take a boat to get to Hogwarts; this is the usual practice.

After landing, Yi Shuihan stepped directly onto the lake water and walked on the water, approaching Hogwarts step by step without any attempt to conceal his presence.

"A mysterious Easterner? Do you use magic?"

Just as Yi Shuihan stepped out of the lake and officially onto Hogwarts, an old man with a beard that seemed to be longer than his hair suddenly appeared in front of him.

"That's not magic, it's just a special application of energy."

They actually have bronze-level strength. It seems I underestimated this world!

The old man before them was none other than Albus Dumbledore, the current headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His quick appearance here was proof of his extraordinary abilities.

As the old man who has always protected Harry Potter, it can be said that without him, there would be no Harry Potter.

"So, why did you come to Hogwarts?"

Dumbledore's cloudy eyes were unusually sharp at this moment; he could not see through Yi Shuihan, neither in terms of strength nor morality.

"If possible, I would like to stay at Hogwarts for a while and learn some magic along the way."

Yi Shuihan seemed oblivious to Dumbledore's wariness, speaking in a relaxed tone.

Dumbledore and Yi Shuihan stared at each other for a full five minutes before he finally spoke slowly, "You can stay, but I hope you can help if needed."

"Of course!"

Yi Shuihan agreed to Dumbledore's request and then officially entered Hogwarts under Dumbledore's guidance.

It has to be said that Hogwarts is a magical place. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but the classic castle also gives Yi Shuihan a strong sense of historical heritage. Yi Shuihan quickly fell in love with the place.

Living murals, moving staircases, and ghosts that appear from time to time—all of these things add to the charm of Hogwarts.

"Amazing magic!"

Yi Shuihan secretly praised him.

The magic in this world is more focused on everyday life than on combat, and the various imaginative and magical spells fill Yi Shuihan with anticipation.

In fact, the allure of an Avada Kedavra curse to Yi Shuihan was not as great as that of a Forgetfulness curse.

Following Dumbledore, Yi Shuihan traveled without hindrance. Although the others were curious about Yi Shuihan's identity, they all gave him friendly smiles because Dumbledore was leading the way.

"How do you like this room? It's not big, but it's fully equipped. If you're not satisfied, we can go to the next place."

"This place is fine. I don't have high requirements for accommodation."

The room was indeed small, only about 20 square meters, but Yi Shuihan liked it very much. Besides, since the room was small, it could be easily modified with magic!

Yi Shuihan could test the spatial extension magic of this world.

"That's settled then. I'll take you to the academy to familiarize yourself with the environment."

The library, the dining hall, the classrooms, the magic potion-making laboratory—Yi Shuihan basically explored the entire Hogwarts, and in the process, he also gained access to some places.

As the moon quietly replaced the sun, the new students of Hogwarts finally arrived at this ancient castle.

"Welcome to Hogwarts. Well, in a little while, you will pass through these doors with your companions. But before you are seated, you must be sorted to determine which house you will be going to. There's Gryffindor, Hufflepuff..."

Professor McGonagall, wearing a black hat, is addressing the new students.

"Look at that person, he's the one I told you about who led me to the platform."

Harry Potter looked pleased as he spoke to Ron, who was standing nearby, since Yi Shuihan was a fairly familiar person to him.

“He’s sitting in the teachers’ seat. Could he be a professor at Hogwarts? I’ve never heard of such a young professor.”

"He told me he wasn't a teacher."

"Then why are you sitting there?"

"I do not know either."

Yi Shuihan also saw Harry Potter and returned his smile. Dumbledore, who witnessed this scene, had a slight change in expression, as if deep in thought.

"Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words to everyone."

"There are a few things to note, first-year students. This school strictly prohibits any student from entering the Dark Forest. Also, our administrator, Mr. Filch..." He gestured towards Filch, a gloomy man with a cat-like aura, "If you want me to remind you, the corridor on the third floor, the corridor on the right, is also forbidden. If you don't want to die a horrible death, don't go there. Thank you."

"Students whose names are called, come to the front. I will put the sorting cap on your head and then determine which sorting house you will be assigned to."

Hermione Granger

Professor McGonagall held up a piece of parchment and read aloud.

The sorting ceremony officially began.

The process went smoothly, basically the same as Yi Shuihan had known. During the sorting process, Yi Shuihan took a good look at the sorting hat several times. A hat with wisdom that could also peer into people's minds was indeed very interesting.

After the sorting ceremony ended and all the students were in their places, an extremely sumptuous feast was laid out on the long dining table, and a grand event began.

Until the very end, Dumbledore never introduced Yi Shuihan to anyone, which disappointed those who had been curious about Yi Shuihan's identity.

"Is there anything in this world that could allow the system to update again? If so, what is it?"

Lying on his bed, Yi Shuihan began to think about what he needed to do in this world.

Chapter 517, Magical Talent Determined at Birth

"Hornets, Philosopher's Stone, the Three Deadly Relics, Room of Requirement, Time-Turner, Pensieve..."

His mind began to fill with all sorts of wonderful things about this world. Suddenly, Yi Shuihan realized that this world was truly amazing. Of course, not many of these wonderful things were actually of any use to him.

Yes, I definitely need to learn shapeshifting magic. Animagus is a good option. Apparition and Manifestation are also essential skills to master. Alchemy is also worth a try.

Thinking about it this way, Yi Shuihan realized that there was really a lot he needed to learn.

"However, all of these are powered by magic. I don't know if I can do it. Maybe I should get a magic wand first."

Yi Shuihan didn't think he was so genius that he could learn it just by knowing the effect. If immortal energy couldn't replace magic power, then Yi Shuihan was helpless.

Before reaching the Silver Realm, which is the Immortal Realm in cultivation, Yi Shuihan's body energy was mainly spiritual energy. After that, not only did his body become an Immortal Body, but his spiritual energy also completely transformed into a higher level of Immortal Qi.

Of course, immortal energy is essentially spiritual energy, only it has a much higher concentration than ordinary spiritual energy. One unit of immortal energy can exert ten times the effect of one unit of spiritual energy. This high concentration of spiritual energy can exert effects that ordinary spiritual energy cannot.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the ordinary world is very low, so it is impossible for immortal energy to be generated. Therefore, if a powerful being several times stronger than an immortal wants to cultivate, there is a process of purifying spiritual energy into immortal energy, which slows down the cultivation speed considerably.

Thus, the cultivation method of using immortal stones came into being. Immortal stones are solids with a high concentration of immortal energy that can be directly absorbed by immortals, thereby eliminating the intermediate process of transformation and accelerating the cultivation process.

Before becoming an immortal, Yi Shuihan could create spirit stones, and after becoming an immortal, he could naturally create immortal stones as well. However, for him now, creating a low-grade immortal stone would require nearly a month of cultivation time, which was not worth the effort and was unnecessary.

Of course, this is also because Yi Shuihan has only just become a Silver Realm cultivator and his strength is too low. According to the orthodox cultivation realm, he is only at the level of a Loose Immortal, which is why it seems so difficult for him. If he were to reach a higher level, it would be possible for him to create a mountain of immortal stones with a single breath.

To reach the Silver Three Star level, Yi Shuihan only needs to break through one major realm, from Loose Immortal to Earth Immortal. Generally speaking, it takes several hundred years of stable cultivation. If there are enough immortal stones, this time can be shortened depending on the individual's absorption speed of immortal stones and the body's adaptability.

Taking Yi Shuihan as an example, he would need to absorb about 5000 low-grade immortal stones to advance, and his absorption rate is about one stone per day, so it would take him about 14 years to advance. Of course, this excludes the bottlenecks he encounters during the process, since breakthroughs are not only a matter of energy, but also of realm.

According to Murphy, Yi Shuihan's cultivation speed is actually quite genius-like. With the help of immortal stones, it would be good if an average genius could shorten the time by 10 times, but Yi Shuihan shortened it by 30 times.

Absorbing one immortal stone a day here doesn't mean absorbing continuously. Yi Shuihan can finish absorbing it in about 3 hours. It's just that the body needs an adaptation period after absorption. If you continue to absorb within a day, it won't have any effect on your cultivation.

On his second day at Hogwarts, Yi Shuihan woke up very early, or rather, he didn't really go to sleep at all.

Because Yi Shuihan knew absolutely nothing about magic, her first step was to go directly to the library and take out a book on basic magic to read.

"Well, it seems there's no way to cultivate magic in this world. Magic is something you're born with and it only increases as you grow up. These people come to learn magic, but that's just learning how to cast spells. As for increasing your magic power, that's completely outside the scope of what's taught!"

After putting down the book, Yi Shuihan tried to test his magic power as described in the book, and sure enough, he found that he did not have any magic power at all.

Wanting to learn magic but lacking magical power is rather awkward, just like wanting to buy a house but having no money.

Without any prerequisites, thinking about anything else is useless, so Yi Shuihan began searching in the library for ways to grant people magical powers.

Hogwarts' library is vast, with a huge collection of books covering all sorts of topics, but none of them fit Yi Shuihan's current situation.

Finally, after Yi Shuihan had been wandering around for more than two hours, the librarian, Irma Pins, or Mrs. Pins for short, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Sir, if you haven't found a book after searching for so long, I think you're using the wrong method."
