Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Just when everyone was bored out of their minds and ranked the world's top peaks up to the hundredth or so, the semi-final matchup list was announced ahead of schedule.

In the semifinals, Wang Jiang will face Wang Yi; Jiang Yue will face Gu Yi.

After the match list was released, the discussion erupted like a torrent.

Wang Jiang and Wang Yi, Jiang Yue and Gu Yi, happen to be two groups of people with similar styles.

This matchup is truly a clash of titans, a battle between the strongest to become even stronger.

In an instant, everyone's interest in world geography vanished, and they began discussing the outcome of the competition between the two groups.

After several rounds, each of the four had a considerable number of supporters, and their opinions differed, so the discussion quickly turned into an argument, and the argument escalated into a fight.

As they got carried away, the conversation quickly escalated from a verbal debate to a physical one.

Since everyone is in the school's magic hall, and there are many empty arenas below the stands, it's the perfect venue.

Several groups of students bravely jumped onto the stage and immediately began a friendly brawl.

Shen Yuan had no choice but to call on several assistant department teachers and was forced to start working overtime to avoid causing any problems.

The medical team was happy to pick up a few new patients, a completely unexpected bonus.

Many of the senior female students in the medical team have shown increasing favorability towards Wang Yi.

Time quickly came to 5 PM, and amidst the students' anticipation, host Ma Xiaoting took the stage to give the opening remarks for the semi-finals.

Wang Yi and Wang Jiang exchanged a glance, then each picked up their own dark halberds and walked side by side toward the arena.

The stands were filled with cheers and shouts, with people cheering for everyone.

Previously, the title "Two Kings" was assigned according to their order of appearance, but now we can finally determine the King and Queen.

When the two stood on the ring, they did not deliberately create distance between themselves.

After all, both of them are melee fighters. If they run to the sides of the arena, they'll have to run back to each other once the fight starts, which would seem... a bit silly and unnecessary.

Wang Yi originally intended to admit defeat directly, after all, he and Wang Jiang had fought each other quite a few times in private.

Although most of the battles were sparring matches, with neither side going all out or adopting a do-or-die attitude, Wang Yi was well aware that he was not yet a match for Wang Jiang.

However, Qi Xiaohao made a very astute judgment about Wang Yi's plans.

Qi Xiaohao reminded Wang Yi that the students had argued so much about who was stronger, the King and the Queen, that they had actually taken to the point of fighting each other.

If Wang Yi were to concede defeat without even fighting after taking the stage, it would definitely disappoint everyone and lead to widespread condemnation.

Regardless of who everyone supports, even if they are fans of Wang Jiang, they will stand together with Wang Yi's fans.

The more you liked someone before, the more you'll hate them now.

This will definitely be extremely detrimental to Wang Yi's popularity and reputation.

Wang Yi also showed great importance to Qi Xiaohao's opinion.

Therefore, in order to continue to live a stable life at school, Wang Yi had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​admitting defeat.

So Wang Jiang suggested that the two of them engage in a pure melee combat, completely abandoning the power of magic, to help Wang Yi consolidate her previous enlightenment and take the opportunity to break through the shackles and go further.

Without using any magic, Wang Yi, with the boost from two passive spells, far surpasses Wang Jiang in speed and strength.

Wang Jiang's skills and experience far surpassed Wang Yi's.

While this weakens both of them to some extent, overall, the King is weakened more.

Although Wang Yi lacked the powerful defense of the Black Rock Heavy Armor, he was also free from the constraints and burdens of wearing heavy armor.

Without the power boost from the Golden Body, the power that the king can unleash will be greatly reduced.

After all, when the base stats are lowered, the skill bonus still exists, but it won't become as exaggerated.

After Shen Yuan announced the start of the competition, Wang Yi took the initiative and thrust his right arm, halberd, into Wang Jiang's chest.

Wang Jiang then chose to raise his halberd from bottom to top, deflecting Wang Yi's halberd.

Clang!

Two halberds of the same material, color, and style collided violently, producing a loud metallic clang.

Wang Yi's halberd was deflected, and he used the momentum to flip his wrist, aiming the ferrule at Wang Jiang's groin. However, Wang Jiang stepped on it with his left knee, and then stomped away while swinging his halberd to slash at Wang Yi's neck.

Wang Yi took a step forward, leaned in, and precisely blocked Wang Jiang's right wrist as he swung it inward with his left arm, while at the same time raising his leg to deliver a right whip kick to Wang Jiang.

The two fought like this, exchanging blows and countering each other's moves.

At close range, every punch lands with flesh; shoulders, knees, elbows, and claws can all be transformed into deadly weapons, striking straight at the opponent's vital points. From a distance, they clash with long halberds, each sound deafening, surging with killing intent and stirring up the wind and clouds.

With each shift in his steps, the halberd danced with his movements, spinning, thrusting, picking, and slashing—each move vicious and ruthless; chopping, smashing, sweeping, and slashing—each strike grand and majestic.

The students in the stands were completely dumbfounded.

They've never seen anything like this before.

Although everyone knew that Wang Yi and Wang Jiang were both mages who were good at close combat, no one expected them to be this good.

Although many students don't quite understand it, they still feel it's impressive even though they don't know it.

Some archaeology enthusiasts felt that this was much more exciting than those old martial arts films that were popular more than half a century ago.

Many students have even started to lament, "We're all mages, so why does it feel like your versions are different from ours?"

The battle lasted for nearly twenty minutes. Wang Cong initially held back, then deliberately fed the opponent moves in the middle, and finally gradually used his full strength to put pressure on Wang Yi.

The entire battle was conducted in a gradual and progressive manner, making it a model of combat training.

Wang Yi, relying on the lingering feeling from the halberd he had thrown earlier, continued to integrate and master the techniques, making rapid progress and striding towards the level of a King General.

Wang Jiang is absolutely right. Once you've grasped the concept, you've grasped it. Once you break through this bottleneck, a whole new world awaits you.

Until the very end, both of them had reached their physical and mental limits. Wang Jiang used a three-stage rapid attack to deflect Wang Yi's halberd, causing the center gate to fall.

Then Wang Jiang's halberd plunged straight in, piercing Wang Yi's right chest, the tip of the halberd penetrating three fingers before finally stopping.

The outcome is decided.

It wasn't that the king didn't want to hold back, but as the fight progressed, he no longer had the ability to do so.

If he deliberately holds back, he will be the one to lose.

Blood gushed out, quickly staining Wang Yi's shirt, then meandering along the halberd blade and dripping onto the arena.

Wang Yi, however, didn't care at all.

Compared to the benefits he gained in this battle, this injury was hardly a price to pay.

Even if the king were to pierce him through with a halberd, Wang Yi would still feel it was all worth it.

"The victor is king!"

Seeing that Wang Yi had no intention of resisting any longer, Shen Yuan went on stage to announce the result.

Thunderous applause erupted from the stands, with many students standing up excitedly, cheering at the top of their lungs until their hands were red from clapping.

This was the longest and most exciting match since the start of the singles competition.

It's hard to believe that the two mages on the stage, in a magical battle at a magic high school, didn't use a single spell, yet they received thunderous applause from the other mages.

The ensuing fighting frenzy was something neither of them could have imagined.
