Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Hearing Wang Jiang's question, Jiang Yue raised his eyebrows: "Indeed, no, unless I spend the next two years just loafing around, not making any progress in strength, and my will is almost completely worn down."

Wang closed his eyes again: "That's the truth. Gu Yi has neither a good family background nor a lot of talent. He has also worked harder than us for two crucial years of training. Why should he lose to you?"

Since we're not on the same level, there's no need to force a fight.

I know you want to test Gu Yi further, to see if he has absorbed other divine-grade magic, and then try to find a breakthrough opportunity in the team competition to get back at him.

Unfortunately, Gu Yi wasn't stupid, or rather, he was never the kind of person who would be arrogant or complacent.

So he only used one Howling Wind spell; all the other spells were still kept hidden. Did you really think Gu Yi only absorbed one Howling Wind spell?

Upon hearing Wang Jiang's words, Jiang Yue clearly showed some surprise: "Just now, in your fight with Wang Yi, you clearly stabbed Wang Yi with your halberd, but you weren't hit on the head by Wang Yi. Could it be... that you've grown a new brain?"

Wang Jiang's temples throbbed, and he subconsciously reached out to touch the halberd beside him, wanting to demonstrate to Jiang Yue again how he had just pierced through Wang Yi's chest.

Fortunately, Jiang Yue was quick-witted enough to grab the king's halberd first, thus averting a bloody disaster.

After searching for a long time without finding the halberd in the familiar location, the exhausted King Jiang really didn't want to open his eyes and had no choice but to let Jiang Yue go.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yue couldn't help but ask, "Wang Yi's strength has improved again. Even if we team up, we still have no chance of winning the team competition?"

"There is a slight possibility. Either he can rush in front of Gu Yi and force him into close combat, since Gu Yi can't possibly include himself in the attack magic, or he can find a way to deplete the magic power in Gu Yi's body."

However, the probability of achieving either of these two goals is very low, because firstly, Gu Yi is not weak in close combat, and I cannot defeat him in a short time. Wang Yi has the best chance of rushing over, but it is very likely that the battle will end in a draw.

Secondly, Gu Yi also has teammates, and none of them are weak. Besides, he wouldn't be foolish enough to only use divine-grade magic. Rare-grade magic isn't just for show; it's hard for him to run out of magic power.

In order to achieve these two goals, how many teammates are you prepared to "sacrifice"?

Wang Jiang's words left Jiang Yue completely silent.

"If your purpose in participating in the competition is to make Yu-jie famous and open up opportunities, then we've already done that. There's no need to fight for first place. After all, we don't lack the prize money for the championship, and besides..."

"Wait a minute!" Qi Xiaohao couldn't help but interject, interrupting Wang Jiang: "Well, as for the reward, Brother E is really looking forward to it."

Jiang Yue almost burst out laughing, but Qi Xiaohao was right. If he hadn't specifically mentioned the reward to entice Wang Yi, he probably wouldn't have bothered to sign up for the competition.

I don't know when it happened, but Wang Yi has evolved from a troublemaker into a troublemaker who won't do anything without a profit.

Wang Jiang took a deep breath. The repeated stimulation from Jiang Yue and Qi Xiaohao made Wang Jiang's already exhausted spirit feel like it was about to explode. So he reached out to touch the halberd again.

This time, Jiang Yue readily handed over the halberd.

Seeing Wang Jiang swing his halberd at him, Qi Xiaohao chuckled dryly and immediately grabbed Wang Yi's halberd, hiding far away.

He's given all the hints he needed to, and with Jiang's intelligence, he should be fully aware of it, right?

At this moment, Wang Yao, one of the medical team members, came over to the group and asked Wang Jiang:

"We have a match in two hours, do you want to take a nap?"

Wang Jiang shook his head: "No need. How about Wang Yi?"

Wang Yao said, "The injury isn't serious, but you've been quite exhausted. You've already gone to sleep, so I came to see if you need some deep sleep."

After explaining, Wang Yao nodded slightly to Jiang Yue, said hello, exchanged a glance with Qi Xiaohao who had just run off, and then hurriedly left with her head down.

Qi Xiaohao, carrying a long halberd, came running back with a mischievous grin: "Old Wang, you've been hiding your true strength! What's going on?"

Wang Jiang ignored Qi Xiaohao, but Jiang Yue explained, "His sister."

"Your sister???" Qi Xiaohao was utterly shocked. The image of Wang Yao, delicate and gentle, speaking softly, flashed through his mind. Then, remembering Wang Jiang's usual deadpan expression, he reminded him with a heavy heart:

"Old Wang, haven't you noticed anything wrong? Do you think it's possible that you were actually... adopted?"

hum!

The halberd trembled, and before the king even opened his eyes, his halberd slashed precisely at the shaft of the halberd that Qi Xiaohao was holding.

The immense force caused the halberd shaft to strike Qi Xiaohao directly on the forehead, instantly causing a large bump to swell up.

Qi Xiaohao collapsed to the ground, letting out two cries of pain.

"His sister is his cousin," Jiang Yue laughed, then added.

Jiang Yue was already used to Qi Xiaohao's sharp tongue. This chubby kid always seemed to get the short end of the stick, yet he still loved to provoke Wang Jiang, never learning his lesson.

Not long after, Qi Xiaohao stood up, rubbing his forehead and bottom, and groaning. He looked much more obedient.

About an hour and a half later, Wang Yi finally returned here after a good night's sleep in the treatment room.

Compared to the penetrating wound in his chest, Wang Yi's mental exertion was much greater, as if he had been staying up for several nights.

Fortunately, Wang Yao had a sleep-inducing technique that put him into a deep sleep. After resting for an hour and a half, he felt much better now.

Upon meeting, Wang Yi noticed the strikingly talented Qi Xiaohao and was immediately surprised. He took the halberd from Qi Xiaohao while casting a healing beam on him, and at the same time asked, "What's wrong? Did you say something stupid again?"

Qi Xiaohao pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Wang Yi didn't ask any further questions, but simply turned to look at Jiang Yue: "You lost?"

After fighting Wang Jiang, Wang Yi was carried into the treatment room, and she had no idea what happened in the subsequent battle.

However, along the way, I did overhear snippets of conversation among my classmates.

"We lost. Mid-level, nothing we can do about it." Jiang Yue said with some regret, "Looks like our dream of dominating the rankings is shattered."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "I don't want to dominate the rankings. Getting into the top four is troublesome enough."

Along the way, quite a few classmates stared at him and greeted him, which Wang Yi wasn't used to.

"Do you have a chance in the next round?" Wang Yi always had inexplicable confidence in Wang Jiang, his teacher who had taught him for so long.

"Basically none, I'm prepared to concede directly," Wang replied calmly.

Wang Yi sighed inwardly, "It's a pity that General Wang didn't absorb the Black Rock Heavy Armor, otherwise he might have had a chance."

After the King absorbed the Golden Light Body, the Black Rock Heavy Armor would no longer be a burden to him. Later, they learned the Wind Wolf Tactics and surrounded and killed a low-level Black Hoofed Yak at Lingnan Sand Bridge. Unfortunately, the King did not absorb the Black Rock Heavy Armor from this magic crystal.
