Chapter 341 A Conversation with Professor McGonagall

Facing Professor McGonagall's question, Yang Tian immediately replied, "It's easy to divert attention. For example, Professor Flitwick once said that a group of spell experts will come to Hogwarts after the Christmas holidays to form a new research team."

"Yes, it did happen. But this matter has already been publicized, and people are not paying that much attention to it anymore." Professor McGonagall pointed out the problem.

"Yes, so I want to open up a gap in the publication of new academic papers." Yang Tian responded.

"Oh, is there a new direction in Transfiguration? Which magical animal's texture differences have you found? Tell me about it." Professor McGonagall's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Hearing this, Yang Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, saying, "This time it's not about the difference in texture, but a new direction. Recently, I have developed a prototype of the Metamorphmagus. If this news is announced, I believe it will have a very good publicity effect."

"Transfiguration? Isn't that a natural magic? It can't be learned later." Professor McGonagall couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on her face. But then she suddenly exclaimed: "Wait! Are you saying that you have researched a way to learn Transfiguration?"

Yang Tian did not say much, but began to perform Transfiguration. As the magic power surged, Yang Tian's body began to fluctuate. Eyes, mouth, nose, hair, arms... and other parts of the body all underwent tremendous changes over time. After a moment, an old Dumbledore appeared in the office.

"How is this possible?" Professor McGonagall screamed.

Yang Tian couldn't help but smirk when he saw this. As long as it involved things related to transfiguration, the professor would lose his temper as usual.

After a brief venting, Professor McGonagall finally calmed down. She couldn't wait to ask, "Are you sure you're not a natural Metamorphmagus?"

"Professor McGonagall, I think you can see that my Transfiguration is still far behind the natural Metamorphmagus. Just talking about the face, I can only restore 95% of the appearance of Headmaster Dumbledore." Yang Tian said self-deprecatingly. After that, he stopped talking nonsense and directly explained the principles and practical methods of the acquired Metamorphmagus.

In fact, the reason why Yang Tian unreservedly revealed all this knowledge was because he knew very well that even if Professor McGonagall studied hard, she would never be able to learn the essence of it; it could even be said that it would be difficult to even barely master it. The reason was that this acquired Disguise Magus was closely related to the ultimate use of the ten elements.

According to the results of the intelligent brain's deduction, the human body is mainly composed of the five elements, supplemented by five variant elements. The changes in the human body are essentially the process of mutual transformation of these ten elements.

Just like the old saying goes, appearance is determined by the heart. Don't fortune tellers always say that one's destiny is lacking this or that? Therefore, if you want to achieve the Metamorphosis Magus, the key lies in the familiarity of all aspects of the human body and the precise control and grasp of these ten elements.

Of course, in addition to the transformation between elements, the necessary skills of human body deformation are also indispensable. These skills can only be gradually mastered through long-term practice and accumulation of experimental data.

Relatively speaking, what Yang Tian lacked was practice; and what Professor McGonagall and other experts in Transfiguration lacked was the precise control and grasp of the elements. To them, it was an elusive and mysterious existence. They could only barely grasp some superficial laws through long-term exploration and experimentation.

Fortunately, as a senior expert in Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall has been deeply involved in the field of Transfiguration for many years. In addition, Yang Tian is well aware of the theoretical basis and practical skills behind the acquired practice of Disguisemagus. One learns seriously and the other teaches attentively. After about three hours of study, Professor McGonagall finally successfully completed a small-scale experiment.

At this moment, she was holding a mirror and carefully examining her nose. The nose that originally belonged to an adult had become as delicate as that of a ten-year-old child, which was out of tune with the rest of her face. Despite this, Professor McGonagall did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she was completely absorbed in her work, as if she was appreciating a fine work of art.

"This is incredible!" Professor McGonagall said at the right time. "You know what? Metamorphmagus, as a branch of human transfiguration, is called innate magic, and this is not a random classification. You know, the human body itself is the most complex and unfathomable existence. This transfiguration seems simple, but in fact it requires extremely high talent, which requires wizards to have a keen sense of the human body. However, I never thought that, without the complex transformation formula, relying on pure perception and experience, such an unexpected result would be produced."

"On the contrary, I think that without the rigorous Transfiguration practice under the Transfiguration Formula, almost no one except Metamorphmagus can complete this transformation relying solely on perception." Yang Tian expressed his inner thoughts frankly.

"Yes, that's right." Professor McGonagall suddenly realized, "Just like you said, even you can only restore 95% of Headmaster Dumbledore's appearance. This is enough to show how difficult it is."

"I am a little overwhelmed by this." Yang Tian explained with a wry smile: "After all, my understanding of human body deformation is not deep enough, both in theory and practice, so the results I can achieve are very limited. If I want to go further, I am afraid I need to continue to accumulate relevant knowledge and conduct a lot of experiments."

After hearing this, Professor McGonagall's eyes flashed with surprise. She asked eagerly, "So, there is still room for improvement in this topic?"

"Yes, as I said just now, this is just a prototype, and there is a lot of room for improvement in the future." Yang Tian nodded. However, he did not continue to discuss this topic in depth, but asked sincerely: "Professor, do you think that the breakthrough in this topic can temporarily divert the attention of the young wizards?"

Professor McGonagall nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, this discovery is absolutely groundbreaking, and no one can resist its charm!" After that, she paused and sighed, "It would be great if there were no such mess. I can even see the rise of Hogwarts!"

“Professor, it is precisely because of the rapid development of Hogwarts that it has attracted the covetousness of these jackals and tigers!” Yang Tian said with emotion.

Yang Tian's words also made Professor McGonagall feel the same way, and the two of them looked at each other in complete silence...
