“Troy—oh, God!” Bagman’s voice boomed like thunder, filled with terror.
With unwavering courage and fearlessness, Troy swung his bat, igniting the passion and fighting spirit of the entire team.
"Great shot! G00! What a pity!" Bagman shouted hoarsely, thinking that the ball was a sure thing.
Unexpectedly, Levin Green suddenly appeared from the side, as if he had anticipated the trajectory of the ball, and directly passed the Quaffle, kicking the ball far away.
Shireira quickly caught up.
Another long pass followed by a fast break and a one-on-one opportunity.
"Cirella is one-on-one with the goalkeeper again! Troy's desperate shot not only fails, but he's also about to fall to the ground!" Bagman exclaimed.
Tens of thousands of wizards held their breath, watching the different scenes on both sides of the stadium.
Dawn's blow was extremely powerful, hitting Troy squarely on the back of the head, knocking the dazed Troy off the broom. He fell headfirst, diagonally downwards.
In the final moments before landing, Troy successfully flipped over to protect his head and crashed heavily to the ground.
"boom!"
That was the sound of Troy landing.
"Beep-"
That was the sound of Cerella's whistle after scoring a goal.
At opposite ends of the field, their fates are diametrically opposed, symbolizing the future that the two teams are about to face.
The audience rose from their seats, cheers erupting from the Chinese team's side, while the Irish audience groaned in despair.
"The match is paused!" Mr. Bagman shouted, and the well-trained field healers rushed onto the field to quickly check Troy's injuries!
Dawn pulled down his goggles and stared in horror at Troy's right leg, which was curled up in a bizarre, twisted position.
He never expected that Troy would risk being hit to get those ten points!
"He's alright, he'll be healed!" Levin flew to the witch's side and comforted her.
“I know. I’ve been through this a lot before, and even knowing the consequences, I would still play a moving ball,” Dawn said to Levin with a determined look in his eyes.
Thanks to the timely use of shock absorbers by the safety officers on the sidelines during his descent, Troy did not suffer serious injuries.
After emergency treatment, he successfully returned to the field.
But this doesn't mean the injury had no impact on him.
In fact, even the least discerning viewer could see that Troy's performance was significantly worse after returning to the field.
But his sacrifice was not without reward.
Despite the serious injury to one of Ireland's key players, their subsequent attacks became even more ferocious, like a wounded wolf.
But Levin was unfazed; under his command, the Yin Guo team calmly responded.
After introducing his own tactics to the national team, he had long since sidelined captain Avery and become the de facto commander.
Faced with this Ireland, Levine chose to avoid direct confrontation, directing his players to tighten their formation and employ a zone defense and flexible defensive tactics in their own half.
After another tense and exciting ten minutes, the Irish team finally scored two more goals.
However, Yin Guo also scored a goal by relying on his long pass and fast attack counter-attacking skills.
Ireland's offensive was thwarted.
Their frantic attacks couldn't last, and everyone could see that once they couldn't hold on, the Yin Kingdom team would launch a full-scale counterattack.
Ten minutes later, the fans of the Yin Guo team began to cheer wildly.
As they expected, when Ireland's offensive stalled, Levin led the Indian team in a counterattack.
The Yin Kingdom team is now leading by 130 points, and victory is in sight.
The intensity and ferocity of the competition is something they have never seen before.
Both batters showed no mercy: Dawn and Connolly, in particular, swung their bats almost like madmen, attacking each other's players from every angle.
Especially Dawn, who, despite not being physically imposing as a witch, was like a raging tigress at this moment, swinging her baseball bat and charging straight at Moran, who was holding the Quaffle, successfully stopping her momentum.
The next moment, Cirella successfully hijacked the Quake.
Moran glared at Dawn resentfully, but Dawn turned his back on her without a care and hurriedly flew away to protect Cirira.
They didn't bump into each other, did they?
Cirira seized the opportunity, completely unconcerned about the incoming ball; with Dawn around, she had nothing to worry about.
All she had to do was attack—attack!
Sheryl successfully broke through Ireland's encirclement and scored with a powerful shot!
The supporters of the Yin Guo team cheered enthusiastically, and the stands became a sea of roses.
This successful goal dealt a heavy blow to Ireland.
They are just two goals away from a complete defeat.
When the referee blew the whistle again, the Irish chasers quickly organized an attack, like drowning people struggling desperately.
With sheer grit, Ireland finally scored a goal two minutes later, bringing the score difference back to 130 points.
They proved that the Irish fighting spirit had not been broken.
The Irish audience all stood up, cheering and jumping, forming a huge green wave.
Just then, Levin received another signal from Levin and suddenly soared into the sky.
In the eyes of the audience, she almost became a silver phantom, chasing after him frantically.
Two roaming balls whistled through the air as they hurtled towards them.
Parkin barely dodged, continuing his rapid advance towards the Golden Snitch.
Just a few meters away!
Ireland's batsman Quigley used all his strength to pull one out.
He piloted the Firebolt, thrusting it directly between Parkin and the Wanderer without dodging, only to be struck head-on by the Wanderer.
A deafening roar of surprise erupted from the audience.
Zhang Qiu covered her mouth, as if she were seeing herself on the field.
Levin's eyebrow looked like it had been broken; blood was everywhere.
But at the same time, behind him, Parkin raised his right hand high.
"Golden played a crucial role; he was not only the ace scorer but also the protector of the finders—the game is over—the Yin Guo team has won!" Ludo Bagman shouted.
After taking a commanding lead over Ireland, the Yin Kingdom team seized the Golden Snitch, ending the match.

Chapter 266 Final Exam
The audience doesn't seem to realize what's going on yet.
Then, slowly, like a giant jet exploding with countless joyful bursts of energy.
"The Underworld has won!" Bagman shouted. "With Levin Green, the youngest player in Quidditch World Cup history, the Underworld's Bryce Parkin caught the Golden Snitch!"
Hermione waved her hands, completely disregarding her ladylike attire, jumping up and down, clapping and cheering. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes sparkled with excitement, deeply moved by Levin's outstanding performance.
"Levin was fantastic! But the Irish batter was too aggressive; I was really worried for Levin just now... he didn't seem to care about his own safety at all." Zhang Qiu cheered loudly as well.
But thinking about the moment Levin was hit, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
“You know, Cho Chang, the first thing Levin does every morning is to cast buffs all over himself. I still don’t know how many buffs he has on him every day. A mere wandering ball can’t possibly hurt him.” Hermione, having heard Cho Chang’s words, calmed herself down and analyzed the situation seriously.

Having received one-on-one training from Levin, her understanding of him in this area is clearly unmatched.
Rose petals drifted down from Luna's head, and her dazed eyes regained their sparkle, revealing a deep joy.
She dropped her dazed look from watching the game and instead broke into a cheerful smile.
The dragons, the mascots of the Underworld, soared and tumbled through the air under Onyxia's command, their appearance sending the entire audience into a frenzy.
Roses were being waved everywhere in the stadium, and the national anthem of the Yin Kingdom resounded from all directions.
As the team members rode brooms around the field, a shower of rose petals fell from the sky.
The beautiful petals fell like flowers scattered by celestial maidens, enveloping the entire stadium in a dreamlike and romantic atmosphere.
Supporters plucked the roses off their clothes and threw them at their favorite players.
Zhang Qiu couldn't wait to pluck the red peony from her head, intending to toss it to Levin as he passed by.
However, when Levin actually appeared in front of her on a broomstick, she was so nervous that she forgot the actions she had planned beforehand and could only stand there dumbly waving.
As Levine circled the field and walked away, the audience applauded and cheered, expressing their appreciation and respect.
In the midst of this enthusiastic atmosphere, Zhang Qiu suddenly noticed Luna standing beside her.
Her neck was bare; the roses that had hung there were nowhere to be seen.
"Luna is so lucky, it's enviable," Zhang Qiu couldn't help but sigh.
"What are you envious of?" Hermione asked, puzzled.
"I saw Levin catch the flower she threw!" Zhang Qiu bit her lip, feeling slightly resentful.
Hermione's expression turned somewhat grim when this was mentioned.
Like Cho Chang and the other little witches, she held only one carefully chosen rose.
As Levine circled the field, they were so caught up in the passion of the game that they forgot about this crucial part.
However, Luna had brought a large bouquet of roses, and when Levin rode by on his broom, she didn't hesitate to toss the bouquet into the air.
Zhang Qiu watched as Levin caught a flower in mid-air and blew a kiss to Luna.
This action inspired the other little witches to follow suit, throwing all the flowers they had at Levin.
Levin simply smiled in response, but refused to accept any more flowers from anyone. The other little witches then turned their attention to other players.
