Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Being a mid-level mage doesn't necessarily mean you can possess divine-grade magic, especially if you've only recently advanced.

If a mid-level mage doesn't possess divine-grade magic, they are at best just a beginner mage with more magic power and better physical attributes.

Compared to a beginner mage, there are some advantages, but it's not to say that the gap is huge.

For a mage, magic is the most important thing.

Even if Gu Yi hadn't absorbed the divine-grade magic, Jiang Yue wouldn't have believed he would have lost, even if he had become a mid-level mage.

However, Gu Yi immediately showed off his Whirlwind skill.

Jiang Yue immediately understood that the championship of this competition was undoubtedly his.

That makes sense. Newly promoted mid-level mages without divine-grade magic usually only exist among mages from ordinary families with average talent.

Given Gu Yi's family background, even if he wasn't particularly talented, he could easily create one or two divine-grade spells by using mid-level and high-level magic crystals.

Moreover, Gu Yi's talent is by no means bad.

The howling wind magic didn't advance quickly, clearly Gu Yi was deliberately giving Jiang Yue time to react.

Before the fight began, Gu Yi suggested that Jiang Yue concede, because Gu Yi felt that without using divine-grade magic, he could not defeat Jiang Yue.

Using divine-grade magic, on the other hand, would appear as an act of overwhelming power.

Gu Yi did not have the foolish idea of ​​binding himself with magic and engaging in a so-called "fair battle" with Jiang Yue without using divine-grade magic.

Being a mid-level mage is a matter of personal ability; to abandon it would be the greatest injustice.

The fact that it wasn't used in previous battles simply means it wasn't necessary, not that Gu Yi was unwilling to use it.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yue did not accept his kindness.

Gu Yi had no choice but to crush them with sheer strength.

Jiang Yue raised his right arm and released the turbulent wind.

However, the turbulent winds that could originally cover an area of ​​tens of meters were compressed by Jiang Yue into a width of less than three meters, resembling a small blue river flowing at high speed.

The fine, wispy wind blades in Hanoi darted about in all directions, like fish starving to death.

Two gusts of azure wind of similar color met in the arena. The turbulent wind, like a mud ox entering the sea, plunged into the howling wind and was blown into real turbulence layer by layer. The fine wind blades shattered and disintegrated in large pieces until they finally disappeared completely.

Gu Yi's howling wind was clearly not at the level he had just absorbed; its power was no less than that of a true mid-level wind wolf.

Conservatively speaking, it should have been at least a month since Gu Yi became a mid-level mage.

Wang Yi's Black Rock Heavy Armor might be able to offer some protection against the howling wind.

Jiang Yue's single-target attack, the Ice Fang Spear, should be able to break through Xiao Feng's blockade thanks to its unique rotation and penetrating power. However, at that time, the huge ice spear will probably only be able to turn into small ice needles.

There's not much damage left.

"This is truly frustrating," Jiang Yue sighed inwardly, but his hands did not stop moving.

Jiang Yue unleashed four compressed bursts of turbulent wind at incredible speed, finally breaking through Xiao Feng's obstruction and attacking Gu Yi.

Gu Yi frowned slightly at Jiang Yue's inexplicable insistence, then released the howling wind again.

The turbulent winds that had just broken through dissolved once again into the larger storm ocean.

Seeing this, Jiang Yue had no choice but to raise his hand to indicate, "I admit defeat."

Gu Yi dissipated the howling wind, and Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to worry about these little guys.

He was afraid that Gu Yi might act impulsively and mindlessly hurl divine-grade attack magic at Jiang Yue's head, which would be even more painful than if it were thrown at him.

These days, being a teacher is getting harder and harder.

"The victor is Gu Yi."

After Shen Yuan announced the results, Gu Yi and Jiang Yue left the arena.

The next match, the finals, is in two hours.

In addition to the champion being decided between Wang Jiang and Gu Yi, the third place will also be decided between Wang Yi and Jiang Yue.

Because the school only awards prizes to the top three finishers in the individual competition.

However, once Gu Yi's identity as a mid-level mage was revealed, everyone naturally had a clear idea of ​​who would win the individual competition.

Because the gap between each grade of magic is very difficult to overcome.

Especially among human mages.

Because their intelligence far surpasses that of most magical beasts, human mages generally excel in the study, learning, understanding, and application of magic, surpassing that of magical beasts.

Moreover, human mages can absorb far more magic than magical beasts.

However, there is still a significant gap in population size between human mages and magical beasts.

Therefore, in the next battle, unless the king also unleashes a divine-grade spell on the spot, there is no chance of an upset.

However, the competition between Wang Yi and Jiang Yue for third place is still something to look forward to.

Jiang Yue returned to the stands, where only Qi Xiaohao and Wang Jiang remained in their seats. Wang Yi was still lying in the medical room and had not come out.

Seeing Wang Jiang leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, his back not as straight as usual, Jiang Yue couldn't help but tease him, "What's wrong? Feeling completely drained? My dad has some rare Liuwei Dihuang Pills, I'll have him send you a couple of bottles to replenish your energy."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiang opened his eyes, glanced at Jiang Yue, and then sneered, "Loser."

"Tsk." Jiang Yue clicked his tongue. "A mid-level mage, and a mid-level mage who can use Howling Wind at that. My loss is beyond my control. We two brothers don't laugh at each other, it'll be your turn to lose in two hours."

Wang Jiang glanced at Jiang Yue but said nothing.

Because there was simply no way to refute it.

Wang Yi might be able to take a bath in the howling wind before dying, but Wang Jiang doesn't have the Black Rock Heavy Armor; if he goes in, he'll instantly turn into mincemeat.

Moreover, the arena area is really limited, and Xiaofeng's huge attack range makes it virtually impossible for Wang Jiang to dodge in advance.

"Why don't you learn from Wang Yi and see if you can kill Gu Yi with a single halberd strike once you're on stage?" Jiang Yue encouraged. "Or you could use two halberds; bring Wang Yi's halberd with you."

To Jiang Yue's suggestion, Wang Jiang simply rolled his eyes: "Guess why Gu Yi and I know each other?"

"I'm just a kid, why would I guess?" Jiang Yue scoffed. "I'm not some old sage who can predict the future. How would I know if you don't tell me?"

"His marksmanship is actually not much worse than mine." Wang Jiang rubbed his temples wearily. "The Gu family is also a long-standing martial arts family. Of course, martial arts are already a remnant of the old era. They couldn't beat technology before, and now they can't beat magic."

Although Gu Yi didn't like martial arts, he had been forced to practice it by his family since childhood. It was practically impossible to defeat Gu Yi using Wang Yi's unexpected move.

"That's it, it looks like we'll have to hand over the championship." Jiang Yue shrugged helplessly.

"Of course," Wang Jiang said nonchalantly. "You can't possibly defeat yourself two years from now, can you?"
