Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Wang Jiang smiled and raised his left hand, gently patting Wang Yi's right shoulder, as if chatting with an old friend.

Then Wang reached out with his right hand, grabbed Wang Yi's forearm, and while his left hand was on Wang Yi's shoulder, he pulled and pushed, putting Wang Yi's right shoulder back in place.

The whole process was smooth and effortless. Wang Yi's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't make any obvious expression.

After his shoulder was set, Qi Xiaohao finally dared to lean closer: "Is Brother E alright?"

"It's just a dislocated shoulder, what's the big deal?" Wang Yi said casually, completely ignoring the fact that he had already released a healing beam on himself in the ring, otherwise he might have been in a very awkward situation.

It's an embarrassing situation in every sense of the word.

"Your halberd strike was a masterful integration of power. If you could wield it with such ease and control, I might not be your match." The king continued the previous topic while looking at Jiang Yue, who had just stepped onto the stage.

"Haven't you always regretted not having absorbed ranged attack magic? Now it seems you already have your own ranged attack magic."

"What kind of magic? Physical magic?" Wang Yi twitched the corner of his mouth. Although he was still quite excited, he was still aware of the situation: "That was just a stroke of genius. I don't know why I did it so naturally, it's like..."

Wang Yi lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds: "It feels like an epiphany. If you asked me to do it again now, I don't think I could reach that level."

"Once you do it once, you'll do it twice, and then three times. Now that you've already done it once, carefully savor this feeling, and you'll definitely gradually achieve complete control. After all, this power originally belonged to you," the king encouraged.

"This move is good, and there's room for improvement, but it's a bit too demanding on the weapon." Wang Yi slightly rotated his shoulders, and after feeling that everything was alright, he spread his hands: "It's also a bit too demanding on myself."

The weapon itself isn't the fundamental issue. Although the dark halberd is expensive, we can forge several heavy javelins. Once the weight is increased, the power shouldn't be too much different.

However, it would be a bit much to injure yourself after throwing it away. Even if other injuries can be healed with medical magic, dislocated joints are more difficult to treat. You can't always have the king catch you.

Especially during squad battles, when the king was locked in a life-or-death struggle with a monster, he would throw his javelin and run over, shouting, "King, catch my shoulder!"

The art style is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

Even in a one-on-one arena battle, if you fail to win with a single strike, you lose the ability to continue fighting.

After all, he couldn't even pull out a single offensive spell.

If overuse leads to habitual dislocation, it would be a case of more harm than good.

Wang Yi thought about it more and more and felt that there was a big problem with it. It seemed that this move still needed to be improved.

Of course, accuracy is also a problem. Wang Yi originally intended to aim his halberd at Qian Pingping's lower abdomen, so that even if she couldn't dodge, she wouldn't die immediately.

As long as it's not an immediate death, there's no danger to life.

Who knew that after the halberd traveled a distance of 100 meters, it did indeed veer off course, its trajectory veering right towards Qian Pingping's head. Not only did it scare Shen Yuan half to death, but even Wang Yi himself was nearly scared to death.

Although Wang Yi had seen blood and killed many magical beasts, he had never killed a person before. Moreover, Qian Pingping was an acquaintance of Wang Yi, and this was a competition.

If Wang Yi had accidentally killed Qian Pingping, he might never have been able to escape the shadow of that tragedy for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, Shen Yuan was quite effective in protecting people.

Wang Yi didn't dwell on this issue. Originally, this halberd was just an idea that had popped into his head occasionally, but he had never put it into practice. This time, he used it as a divine move, which can be considered as fulfilling his dream.

If we want to use it as a killer move in the future, we still need to develop it further and fix various problems.

Focusing his attention on the arena, Wang Yi saw that although Jiang Yue had not achieved absolute dominance in this battle, he had begun to steadily move towards victory.

Jiang Yue's greatest skill is using various magic spells to weave a net, then slowly lure the enemy into it, waiting for the moment when the enemy is completely trapped before steadily strangling them.

This is a very steady person who dislikes doing things he's not sure about.

"It seems that Gu Yi is the intermediate-level mage," Wang Yi said to Wang Jiang beside him.

Their match was about to end, with only Gu Yi and another senior high school student remaining to go on stage. The intermediate-level mage should be one of these two.

Wang Yi naturally felt that Gu Yi was more likely to be the one.

"If it's him, it wouldn't be surprising," the king nodded.

Wang Yi asked, somewhat puzzled, "You know there are people in the senior year who have advanced to the intermediate level, how come you don't know who it is? Especially if it's Gu Yi, you should know even better. Aren't you two quite close?"

"Regarding mid-level mages, I just mentioned it casually at the time, hoping to prevent you from being too careless. As for whether they actually exist, I'm not sure; it's all speculation," Wang continued.

"As for Gu Yi, I am indeed very familiar with him, but I'm not sure if he's at the intermediate level. After all, no one would announce their advancement to the intermediate level and make a huge fuss about it..."

Wang Jiang paused abruptly, glanced at Qi Xiaohao out of the corner of his eye, and then fell silent.

There really are such people; it seems we can't be too absolute in our statements.

"You and Gu Yi must have sparred before, right?" Wang Yi asked. "Who's stronger between you two?"

Wang thought for a few seconds and said, "We're evenly matched."

Wang Yi understood; it seemed that Gu Yi was also very strong.

Before long, the result of the third match was also settled, and Jiang Yue unsurprisingly won the battle.

However, Wang Jiang and Wang Yi also knew that Jiang Yue had used all his strength, because this time, his opponent was injured.

Although it wasn't a serious injury, it showed that Jiang Yue had no energy left to hold back.

The final match of the semi-finals was between Gu Yi and a student from Class 2 of Senior Three.

Gu Yi won the match in a straightforward manner, without revealing any strength beyond the scope of a beginner mage.

Thus, the list of the top four in the Lanling Magic High School individual competition was finalized.

Wang Jiang, Wang Yi, Jiang Yue, Gu Yi.

The four of them were undoubtedly the strongest group of students in the entire school.

The next semi-final match will start promptly at 5 PM.

The students were excitedly discussing the battle they had just witnessed: Wang Jiang's ranged magic and Wang Yi's stunning halberd strike.

In comparison, Jiang Yue and Gu Yi won too steadily, even uneventfully, which resulted in them not generating as much buzz.

However, students quickly realized that three of the top four finalists were from the first year of high school, and they were all from the same class.

What kind of amazing homeroom teacher could produce students like this?!

This result is indeed quite difficult for senior high school students to accept.

As for the first-year high school students, they were already showing signs of overwhelming the competition: three of the top four teams were ours, is this the strength of the third-year high school students?

The high school seniors could only argue that the top four were not the champions, and that people only remembered Mount Everest as the highest peak, but no one remembered the second highest peak.

Then the chat group instantly turned into a geography discussion group, with various rankings of the world's highest peaks emerging, creating quite a stir.
