Ollivander bent down and rummaged through the pile of wand boxes for a while, finally taking out a dusty wand box, which he handed to Chu Yang and gently blew on.
"Cough cough cough." Chu Yang coughed as he took the wand box from Ollivander and pulled out the wand from inside.
"Aspen wood, dragon heartstring, ten inches. Hold it in your hand and wave it gently. Remember, be gentle."
Listening to Ollivander's instructions, Chu Yang gently waved his wand, and an invisible shock spread out, directly overturning the shipping container behind Ollivander.
Sprout took a few steps back, stood at the entrance of the wand shop, and let out a long breath while clutching his chest.
Ollivander jumped in fright, muttering under his breath, "Very powerful magic, young man, but it's not suitable for you!"
"Excuse me, Mr. Ollivander." Chu Yang quickly switched the wand back; he himself had been startled by the commotion.
He forgot that because of the existence of the Soul Palace, his talents in all aspects far surpassed those of ordinary people.
"It's alright, child. These things happen all the time, although it's rare to see such a commotion as yours..."
Ollivander turned around and rummaged through the shelves again, muttering, "Perhaps it's because you have Eastern blood, I need to find you some wands from your homeland."
Generally speaking, Ollivander used three materials to make the core of his staff: phoenix tail feathers, unicorn hair, and dragon heartstrings.
It's not that there are no other materials, but rather that Ollivander only uses the finest materials; this is his rule when making wands.
Therefore, in addition to the three commonly used materials, Ollivander would also try to find some rarer materials to make wands.
Finally, Ollivander produced another dusty wand box.
In short, please keep reading, it's been recommended, brothers!!

"Red oak, with blood-stained unicorn scales, nine inches long! I've tried to find it many owners, but all attempts failed; the little guy is very picky."
As Ollivander spoke, he noticed Chu Yang's strange gaze. The experienced old man quickly explained, "Please believe me, these are not scales that fell off by human hands. Harming a sacred and magical creature like a Qilin will bring a curse!"
Chu Yang then withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.
He took the wand box from Ollivander and drew his wand.
"Be gentle this time!" Ollivander urged urgently, "Don't overturn my counter!"
"Don't worry, I'll be gentle this time!" Chu Yang nodded emphatically and carefully waved his wand.
As a result, the entire wand shop began to shake violently!
Ollivander and Sprout looked around in alarm, fearing the wand shop would collapse.
The beams, pillars, and even the door frames—everything made of wood in the shop—seemed to come alive, growing wildly and expanding continuously, even affecting the surrounding shops.
The trees are renewed with new life, and green vines and vegetation are spreading out.
Flower buds also sprouted, and in the blink of an eye, they grew into a vibrant sea of flowers.
The dead wood instantly transformed into a piece of ancient wood that had survived for hundreds of years, teeming with life.
The frenzied scene drew crowds from both sides of the street, who gasped in amazement.
Sprout's eyes widened. As a professor of herbalism, she found it hard to comprehend what was happening before her eyes. "That powerful natural magic just now came from Chu Yang?"
At this moment, the red oak wand with a core made of Qilin scales was emitting a warm red light that enveloped Chu Yang, a sign that the wand recognized its master.
Ollivander stared in shock at the scene. He had only tried it out of curiosity, but he never expected it to actually succeed.
Looking at the shops he had destroyed, Chu Yang no longer cared about any natural magic and said with a wry smile, "I will compensate you for all your losses, Mr. Ollivander."
“No, no, no! Child!” Ollivander stroked the wildly growing trees in the shop, his eyes lighting up. “These trees contain powerful life force and are excellent materials for making wands. These alone are enough.”
Ollivander pointed to the shop next door that had been damaged by the trees and laughed, "That's enough to compensate them for their losses!"
Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, then took out the wand and asked, "How many Galleons does this wand cost?"
Ollivander smiled and said, "This wand is enough. You can take it. If it gets damaged, just bring it back to me and I'll fix it for you for free."
Chu Yang nodded with delight: "Thank you, Mr. Ollivander."
Sprout hurriedly walked to Chu Yang's side, looking him up and down with an incredulous gaze. The intensity of that magic just now had exceeded that of most adult male wizards, yet it was caused by an 11-year-old boy.
But that's not the most important thing!
What struck Sprout most was that she had never seen anyone's magic carry such an astonishing vitality, so rich that it made one feel the power of nature so tangibly.
Even Sprout's own carefully tended herb garden couldn't give her this feeling.
Not to mention Sprout, Chu Yang himself was also taken aback!
He had actually guessed that his magic was a bit stronger than that of ordinary wizards, after all, he was someone with a cheat code, but he really didn't expect his magic to exhibit such strange characteristics.
After much thought, the only possible connection is the Wood Release technique inherited from Hokage Chu Yang!
Each person's constitution will cause their magical power to differ from others. Bloodline limits, which are deeply ingrained in the bloodline, have a greater impact on magical power.
Now it seems that this is the only explanation.
Sprout looked at Chu Yang, who had a blank expression on his face, and a bellyful of questions rushed to his lips but he couldn't bring himself to speak.
He's just a child, what could he possibly know?
Let's go back to school and ask the knowledgeable Dumbledore!
Noticing the growing crowd outside, Sprout shielded Chu Yang behind him and hurriedly led him away from the wand shop.
In the crowd, a little girl watched Chu Yang's departing figure with curiosity in her eyes until an adult beside her reminded her, at which point she regretfully looked away.
Sprout led Chu Yang back to the Leaky Cauldron in a flurry of activity.
Sprout was busy telling Dumbledore about Chu Yang's unusual behavior.
"Chu Yang, I'm sorry, but I have to go first. Here's your train ticket and living expenses. Please keep them safe!"
"I've already paid the accommodation fee. You can stay here until the start of the school term. Just remember to board the train before 11 a.m. on September 1st."
Sprout placed a train ticket and a bag of Galleons into Chu Yang's hand, then impatiently used Apparition to disappear from Chu Yang's sight.
Chu Yang didn't even have time to say a word throughout the entire process...
"Professor Sprout, you're really impatient," Chu Yang muttered helplessly, then glanced down at his ticket. "King's Cross Station, Platform 9¾, that's a familiar name."
"Luckily I know how to get across, otherwise it would have been troublesome." Crossing the platform was a classic scene from Harry Potter, and Chu Yang remembered it very clearly.
After Sprout left, Chu Yang went to Gringotts.
He wanted to exchange the pounds he had earned from thugs for Galleons.
When I got there, I found out there were restrictions on exchanging pounds for gallons.
Chu Yang, who thought he was about to make a fortune, could only disappointingly exchange his 200 Galleons for gold.
"So, robbing thugs is really beneath us. It's better to target a dark wizard instead." A dangerous glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. After making such a huge blunder, his mood was absolutely terrible.
After a long day of running around, Chu Yang was too lazy to move when he got back to his room.
Chu Yang sat on the bed and picked up the books he had just bought to start reading.
He would spend the rest of his time with these books until the start of the school term.
The first book Chu Yang chose was "A History of Magic" by Emery Switch.
This is also the best book for people who have never been exposed to the magical world to learn about it.
Because he shared three of his own talents, Chu Yang's memory is exceptional. Although he hasn't reached the level of photographic memory, he can completely remember and understand the knowledge in a book after reading it two or three times.
Some people can memorize quickly, but they may not be able to understand.
But as long as Chu Yang remembers it, he will be able to fully understand it.
Being able to quickly memorize and understand knowledge from books is a very pleasant experience, more enjoyable than any other behavior in the world that provides pleasure by stimulating the brain!

Chapter 24 Good Friday of the Black Wizard
It's not just biological happiness, but also spiritual happiness.
Especially since Chu Yang was just an ordinary person before going to the Soul Palace, the contrast made him even more aware of this indescribable pleasure.
It's like playing a video game. You fight a monster that has high rewards, but the damage you deal is negligible. Then you come back with a cheat and one hit deals 999 damage, instantly killing the monster. That feeling is incredibly satisfying.
Chu Yang was in this state, not wanting to stop, so he took out books from his backpack and continued reading until dinner time, when his stomach started growling with hunger, and he reluctantly put down the books in his hands.
In just a short time, Chu Yang had finished reading three popular science books: "A History of Magic," "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms," and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
Chu Yang stretched, a tingling sensation spreading through his body. He murmured, "If I could read like this in my past life, I probably could have gotten into a world-renowned university in a year or two."
After a quick dinner downstairs, Chu Yang hurriedly prepared to return to his room.
"Hey, slow down, slow down, little wizard who's about to start school, why are you in such a hurry?" Old Tom looked up and reminded Chu Yang as he walked down the stairs.
"Excuse me, Mr. Tom, I'm in a hurry to go back and read!" Chu Yang replied, then tiptoed back to his room.
"He's really eager to learn..." Tom was taken aback. In his memory, most young wizards who came to Diagon Alley for the first time would get lost in the wonderful magical world outside, and very few could settle down and read books here.
