Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

When Wang Yi's body was completely covered by a set of armor that looked to be fully defensive, Qu Yang understood that the opponent's fighting style was both the same as and different from that of the first-year high school student in the previous match.

As the fireball descended upon him, Wang Yi couldn't help but twitch a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, hidden beneath his mask.

If you start with a fireball, you'll inevitably be eliminated.

It seems the chubby kid guessed right again.

Extinguish the flames, shatter the ice spikes, and break the ground thorns.

Like a mad bull, Wang Yi charged headlong into the sky, carving a path to heaven amidst the swirling magic.

Area-of-effect spells are inevitably far less powerful than single-target spells.

"Good magic, it's a support type." Although all the attacks were ineffective, Qu Yang was not flustered.

This is simply a reasonable trial-and-error approach.

The situation is now quite simple; it's just a matter of seeing whether Wang Yi's shield is stronger or Qu Yang's spear is sharper.

Facing the menacing Wang Yi, Qu Yang conjured a bone-corroding fire serpent that vanished in a flash, climbing onto Wang Yi's right arm. After coiling around it several times, the serpent's head flipped over its back and rested on Wang Yi's right chest.

In addition to its ability to burn through bones, the Bone-Eating Fire Serpent can also continuously burn on the target, like a malignant sore.

Even if it can't burn through Wang Yi's armor for a while, it can force Wang Yi to continuously consume his internal magic power to repair the armor, thus wearing down the bone-corroding fire serpent.

Qu Yang was not convinced that he could outlast a freshman in a contest of magical reserves.

Qu Yang sneered inwardly and added another bone-corroding fire snake, making Wang Yi look symmetrical, as if he had two extremely realistic fire snakes tattooed on his body.

Feeling the faint warmth emanating from his arms and shoulders, Wang Yi paid no attention. He even had the leisure to reach out and tease the snake's head a couple of times as he moved, as if he were playing with a pet. The provocative intent practically overflowed from its fangs and mask.

After all, fire magic is the type of magic that Wang Yi fears the least.

Wang Yi just didn't expect that Qu Yang was also a perfectionist.

From the nine fireballs just now to the two fire snakes now, including the icy spikes all over the ground, everything is symmetrical around him, full of a damnably beautiful sense of order.

Clad in heavy black rock armor, Wang Yi, whose footsteps echoed loudly, led two bone-corroding fire serpents and, despite the various attack spells that Qu Yang occasionally unleashed, gradually approached Qu Yang at a not-too-exaggerated speed.

Given that he could run so fast despite wearing a full suit of armor, Qu Yang could easily gauge the opponent's strength, and he had no intention of engaging in close combat with Wang Yi.

When the fist, encased in armor, landed on him, it left him covered in bruises.

So, just as Wang Yi was about to get close, Qu Yang also began to move.

Although Wang Yi's speed was not slow, Qu Yang was clearly a little faster.

It was precisely this slight difference that kept Wang Yi and Qu Yang at a distance of more than a meter, and despite several unsuccessful attacks, they were unable to make any progress.

Magic also has a certain nourishing effect on the human body. Although it is not as exaggerated as the physical body of a magical beast, Qu Yang, who has been a mage for three years, is definitely much better in terms of physical fitness than an ordinary person.

Furthermore, if one pays close attention to physical training, even without using magic, one can easily overwhelm ordinary people in a fight using only physical strength.

Taking advantage of his slightly faster speed, Qu Yang and Wang Yi played a game of chasing each other, weaving and darting around the huge arena.

Qu Yang's goal was clear: after discovering that Wang Yi's armor was exceptionally sturdy, he decided to exhaust all of Wang Yi's magical power.

Therefore, Qu Yang stopped casting rare-grade spells and simply used magic to maintain the two Bone-Corroding Fire Serpents, occasionally throwing a common-grade fireball to harass them.

Although it might not look good to win against a freshman by using magic, a win is a win, and even if the means are dishonorable, it's still much better than being defeated by a freshman.

The tug-of-war between the two seemed to suggest that Wang Yi only needed to be a little faster to catch Qu Yang.

However, Wang Yi understood in his heart that Qu Yang was clearly keeping him on hold in order to accelerate the depletion of his magic power and physical strength.

Wang Yi wasn't without a solution. Whether he activated his Golden Light Body or used a light cage to trap him and Qu Yang together, he could end the chase directly.

But there were still a few battles to fight, and Wang Yi always habitually kept two cards for himself.

He just likes to be a man that people can't figure out.

Even without using the Golden Body and the Light Cage, Wang Yi had already come up with a way to break the deadlock.

As Wang Yi once again narrowly missed Qu Yang, he suddenly removed his Black Rock Heavy Armor, twisted his waist, turned around, and lunged at Qu Yang with all his might.

Qu Yang only knew that Wang Yi's armor was very durable, but he didn't know just how incredibly heavy it was.

Otherwise, he would never have dared to keep Wang Yi hanging at such a short distance.

After removing the Black Rock Heavy Armor, Wang Yi felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

With the added benefits of passive agility and passive Thousand-Pound, both its speed and strength far surpass those of Qu Yang's body, which had been nurtured by magic for three years.

Of course, Qu Yang never expected that Wang Yi would dare to remove the Black Rock Heavy Armor, because once Wang Yi lost this armor, the price he would pay would be considerable.

Without the obstruction of the Black Rock Heavy Armor, the two bone-corroding fire serpents paused briefly before landing on Wang Yi, causing his upper garment to instantly burst into flames.

Even the weakened Martyr's Flame couldn't burn through Wang Yi's body, so naturally, Wang Yi wouldn't be injured by just two rare-grade Bone-Corroding Fire Serpents.

However, as time went on, his complete immunity to the Bone-Corroding Fire Serpent would obviously arouse suspicion, so Wang Yi completely adopted the posture of wanting to perish together with Qu Yang.

With arms outstretched, two fiery serpents coiled around her, she prepared to give Qu Yang a passionate embrace.

Qu Yang felt a sudden flash of light before his eyes, and Wang Yi, transformed into a fire-man, rushed right in front of him.

The fire snakes coiled around his arms became Wang Yi's weapons, about to encircle his neck and scorch his head.

The heat emanating from the bone-corroding fire snake curled Qu Yang's hair, stung his cheeks, and caused blisters to appear.

Left with no other choice, Qu Yang had to dispel the Bone-Eating Fire Serpent, which was about to achieve its master-devouring feat, thus avoiding the embarrassing situation of transforming into the Ghost Rider.

Although the Bone-Eating Fire Serpent was gone, Wang Yi had already closed the distance.

The situation is now settled.

Wang Yi interlocked his fingers and clasped them behind Qu Yang's head, then pressed down hard to make him bend over, before raising his knee to strike him.

In his haste, Qu Yang managed to bring his arms together to block, but the difference in strength was not easily overcome.

Wang Yi's knee struck Qu Yang's forearm, followed by the sound of bones breaking, and then Qu Yang's forearm slammed into Wang Yi's face.

In an instant, Qu Yang felt a crimson glow appear before his eyes, his mouth filled with a salty, warm, and fishy taste, and the world around him began to blur.

With just one knee strike, Qu Yang lost all ability to resist.

Wang Yi released Qu Yang, letting him fall onto the arena.

"The victor is Wang Yi!"
