Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

The stands were bustling with activity, and the podium was no less lively.

"Is this kid from Wang Bing's family?" Xie Yuanyu, the director of the Huaxia Magic Military University, looked at Wang Jiang, who had just pulled out his halberd and stepped off the arena, and said to Bai Jingting with a smile, "He's just like his father."

"Yes," Bai Jingting replied with a smile, not surprised that Xie Yuanyu knew.

Because Wang Bing was a graduate of the China Magic Military University, and it's possible that he was the one who recruited him.

"At such a young age, he already has quite the military bearing. Not bad, not bad. It seems Wang Bing is quite good at teaching his son. The student has surpassed the master." Xie Yuanyu nodded in satisfaction.

"What's wrong, Mr. Xie? You've taken a liking to him?" Chu Guangguo asked casually from the side.

"Hehe, I brought his father in, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to bring him in too," Xie Yuanyu admitted with a smile.

"Judging from his situation, he will definitely be a fierce general charging into battle in the future. Perhaps military affairs are more suitable for his development." Chu Guangguo was quite straightforward.

"He's only in his first year of high school, no rush. Let's wait two more years and see." Xie Yuanyu remained noncommittal, only saying with a smile, "It also depends on the kid's own thoughts."

Anyway, Wang Jiang's father graduated from the China Magic Military University. With that connection, Xie Yuanyu definitely believes he has a greater advantage if Wang Jiang is recruited internally.

Even if ordinary students work hard and give it their all, they may not be able to get into a top-tier magic university.

However, even top-tier magic universities will go to great lengths to recruit some genius students.

This is the world.

On the stage, Ma Xiaoting took the stage to host again. She didn't expect that before she could even get comfortable, Ma Botao would be kicked off the stage.

"Next up is the second match, between Qu Yang from Class 2 of Senior Three and Wang Yi from Class 3 of Senior One."

As soon as Wang Jiang successfully approached Ma Botao, Wang Yi already knew that the battle was about to end, so he left the stands and went to the preparation area to wait for his turn.

Although the participating students do not know who their opponents are in advance, they will receive a message before the competition begins, informing them of which round they will be on stage and which waiting area they should prepare in.

When Wang Yi also entered the arena carrying the same halberd as Wang Jiang, the entire stands erupted in cheers.

What the heck? Another melee mage?

Shen Yuan looked at Wang Yi's face, then at the dark halberd on his shoulder, and clicked his tongue.

The atmosphere in this Grade 11 (3) class seems a bit strange and different from others.

He remembered that the last time he entered Lingnan Shaqiao, only Wang Jiang was carrying a halberd. It hadn't been long before the others were infected as well.

Wang Yi's halberd had actually only arrived less than a week ago.

After returning from Lingnan Shaqiao, Wang Yi, after much reflection, asked Wang Jiang to procure a similar halberd and a magic crystal imbued with sharp magic to compensate for his weak attack power.

The halberd has arrived, but the magic crystal is still nowhere in sight.

The main reason is that the Sharp Magic comes from Xunyuan, a passage between two worlds with the character "Yuan" in its name. As you can imagine, it's not easy to obtain. Every magic crystal is limited, and you have to submit a report if you want to take it out for any purpose.

Moreover, the military area is a closed-off area, so sending express mail is not allowed. Therefore, they will have to wait until Wang Jiang's father takes a break before they can bring the magic crystal back.

It was fortunate that the magic crystals hadn't arrived, otherwise Wang Yi really wouldn't have been able to afford the price.

This halberd alone cost Wang Yi 50,000 yuan, and that was the internal cost price.

The value of magic crystals is beyond monetary measure, and Wang Jiang is not short of money, nor is Wang Yi.

With the bonus he received from the last exchange at Lingnan Shaqiao, plus the scholarship the principal had given him, and a few thousand more he borrowed from Qi Xiaohao, Wang Yi finally managed to scrape together 50,000 yuan for the halberd.

Qi Xiaohao naturally wanted to pay for everything, but Wang Yi couldn't just spend all of Qi Xiaohao's money. Usually, Qi Xiaohao would treat him to meals, and he would just freeload.

If Qi Xiaohao has to pay for everything, wouldn't that seem strange, like he's being kept by a sugar daddy?

After being rich for less than two months, his pockets were empty again, but having traded them for a halberd, Wang Yi still felt he had made a huge profit.

Once on the arena, Wang Yi casually swung his halberd twice before planting it into the arena as well.

However, Wang Yi didn't have the enhancement of sharp magic, so he couldn't pierce the surface of the arena at all. Therefore, Wang Yi inserted it into the hole left by the previous general.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan coughed lightly, and then, seeing that Qu Yang had also entered and was ready, he announced directly, "The competition begins!"

As soon as Shen Yuan began to speak, Qu Yang raised his hand, waiting for the last word of Shen Yuan's voice to fall before the three fireballs scattered and fell.

Three after three, three after three, Qu Yang released three fireballs in a row, as if nine suns filled the sky.

Following the fireballs, countless foot-long ice spikes filled the gaps between them, joining forces to cover Wang Yi, overwhelming everything in their path.

Then Qu Yang took a step forward, and ice spikes half a meter high rose from the arena ground, first surrounding Wang Yi and blocking all his paths of advance, and then immediately contracting and spreading towards Wang Yi in the center.

Qu Yang hadn't watched the last battle for nothing. Regardless of whether Wang Yi was another copy of Wang Jiang, he would first unleash a few area-of-effect spells on him.

Qu Yang was well aware of his strength: he had cultivated for a longer period of time compared to first-year high school students.

Even the most talented mage needs time to grow.

Therefore, Qu Yang believed that he absorbed more magic, released magic more quickly, and had more magic reserves in his body, so he was not afraid of wasting a few rare-grade spells.

In battle, one must always play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses.

Wang Yi had to admit that Qu Yang's magic combo was indeed difficult to dodge. Even if he pulled Wang Jiang up, he would still have to use his halberd to defend against these attacks.

Of course, this is also because Wang Yi did not act immediately at the start of the match.

Otherwise, in the first two seconds, with passive agility, Thousand Pounds, and the Golden Body, Wang Yi, at full power, would still have a great chance to break through.

The overlay attack is now complete; there's no way to dodge it now.

However, Wang Yi was not a general, so even with a halberd, she could not use it to block the attack.

Having only acquired the halberd a week ago, Wang Yi's halberd skills were far from rudimentary; he was, at the very least, completely clueless.

Long weapons and short weapons are quite different, and they are not so easy to use.

An ordinary person can easily wield a dagger or short blade, but with a two-meter-long halberd, they might struggle to even turn around properly.

Simply using it to smash people not only fails to bring out the advantages of the halberd, but may even lead to being exploited due to its clumsy moves.

When a king uses his halberd, that's considered exerting all his strength; when Wang Yi uses his halberd, it's like crippling himself.

That's still the case, at least for now.

Wang Yi carried the halberd to disguise herself by taking advantage of Wang Jiang's presence and to exert psychological pressure on the enemy.

With such a long halberd stuck to the side and not being used, anyone who wants to fight him will have to think twice.

At the same time, it was because the king had instructed him to familiarize himself with the halberd, as holding it with one hand or two hands felt completely different, and even the weight felt was different when holding the halberd in different positions.

So these past few days, apart from going to school, Wang Yi has been inseparable from his halberd, even holding it while sleeping.

Although the halberd couldn't block many magical attacks, Wang Yi had other methods.

With one step, the Black Rock Heavy Armor appeared on Wang Yi's body.

It would be a big mistake to assume that he and Wang Jiang have the same style.

His fighting style was noticeably rougher, wilder, and even more domineering than that of the king.
