Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

"Thunder Spirit, what a great name!" Qi Xiaohao, far from being ashamed, was actually quite proud. After showing off for a while, he asked Jiang Yue, who was standing next to him, "Old Jiang, you're so knowledgeable, do you have any Divine-grade Thunder Spirits or Thunder Explosions?"

Clearly, Qi Xiaohao is also planning his path after becoming a mid-level mage.

"Yes, there definitely are. After all, these two spells are relatively common lightning spells, but divine-grade ones are quite rare," Jiang Yue said after thinking for two seconds.

"Actually, if you like thunder magic, then the divine-grade single-target attack Summon Thunder and the area-of-effect attack Thunder Fury are both excellent choices. They have both power and range."

"That won't do. I'm still hoping that Lei Ling and Brother E can go on a rampage together." Qi Xiaohao shook his head vigorously.

Jiang Yue sighed, then explained:

"Alright, then I'll make three points. First, your tactic might be able to successfully ambush some low-IQ, unsophisticated magical beasts, but against human mages, anyone who sees two lightning spirits charging at Wang Yi will have to be wary of a self-destructing truck and will definitely prioritize taking down Wang Yi or the lightning spirits."

"Secondly, the combined power of a divine-grade thunder spirit and a thunder explosion at close range is considerable. Whether Wang Yi can withstand it is also a question, after all, divine-grade Black Rock Heavy Armor is almost unheard of."

"Third, once we reach the intermediate level, our combat style will change drastically. Firstly, because the range of divine-grade attack spells is very wide, and secondly, because divine-grade support and defensive spells can now be applied to teammates. Furthermore, there are many amplification, weakening, and control spells, allowing for a lot of creative possibilities."

"In short, the version has been drastically changed, which benefits supports. This has led to a sharp rise in the status of support characters. Wang Yi can no longer charge into battle like he does now, because if he does, he might not come back. Once the support character is lost, the team can't play."

After listening to Jiang Yue finish speaking clearly and logically, Qi Xiaohao looked solemn, resting his chin on his hand and gently stroking it.

Qi Xiaohao tried to think about it.

Qi Xiaohao thought hard.

Qi Xiaohao gave up thinking.

"I don't understand. What's intermediate level like? I'll talk about it when I reach intermediate level. But it can't hurt for me to absorb more magic, right?"

Jiang Yue wanted to roll his eyes, but he held back: "That's right, the more magic you master, the more composed you will be in dealing with various situations."

That's a wise saying, because even an attack-type character that anyone can master can't simply pursue attack power.

For example, like the decapitated earthworm dragon before, Jiang Yue possesses many spells with stronger attack power than the wind blade.

However, given the situation at the time, only wind blades were the most suitable magic.

A skilled mage knows how to use the most appropriate magic in the right situation, rather than just randomly detonating Kuku regardless of the circumstances.

Therefore, the deeper a mage's magic pool, the more options they have when dealing with various situations.

"I think Fatty might have a point," Wang Jiang suddenly interjected. "Let's talk about the intermediate level. Wang Yi's situation is a bit different, so it's worth considering whether we should follow the traditional mage approach then."

The king's words enlightened Jiang Yue.

In a mage team, healing is the foundation and support is the soul, and Wang Yi occupies both positions by himself, so the entire team must revolve around Wang Yi.

If Wang Yi doesn't play by the rules, then everyone else will have to make corresponding changes.

Jiang Yue no longer doubts Wang Yi's strength. The fact that she can absorb the healing ray shows that Wang Yi's talent in the medical field is extraordinary.

The fact that Wang Yi absorbed the Black Rock Heavy Armor, Wind Whisper Technique, Green Vine Entanglement, and Eagle Vision Technique in one go shows that his talent in the support category is even more exaggerated than in the healing category.

Moreover, through this trip to Takegawa Hara Bridge, Jiang Yue saw that although Wang Yi's leadership ability was average, he was decisive enough in making decisions and his tactical arrangements were incredibly imaginative.

Aside from his tendency to do everything himself and his greed for money, there's really nothing seriously wrong with him.

As the squad leader, he is undoubtedly more than capable.

He could only offer advice whatever decision the squad leader made.

Jiang Yue knew all too well that a small team could ultimately only have one voice.

The group walked and talked, and soon arrived at the scene of the tiger hunt.

At this moment, a small pool of blood had formed beside the Jade Tiger's neck, slowly seeping into the soil of the grassland.

He was definitely not going to survive. Wang Yi squatted down beside him, just to prevent Qing Yuhu from having a final burst of energy before he died.

Currently, although the Jade Tiger, which has suffered a brain injury, still has a strong will to live, it has almost lost the ability to struggle.

It's probably become a plant-like tiger.

"Old Wang, do you have the skill to skin animals?" Wang Yi asked Wang Jiang.

Apart from the five scars on its cheeks, this jade tiger has almost its entire body skin intact, making it extremely rare.

Qi Xiaohao immediately became excited.

But what the king said next was a bucket of cold water.

"Do you think I'm a wishing well, that I have to know everything?" The king was speechless.

Forget about deboning; the Jade Tiger's bones are hard anyway. When removing flesh and blood, just use force and a miracle. The remaining flesh and blood can be burned off with fire. There's no need to be too meticulous.

But skinning the tiger without damaging the skin is a highly technical task.

Wang Yi smacked her lips, feeling quite disappointed.

"How about I give it a try?" Jiang Yingying volunteered at this moment: "I've skinned sheep before, and the Jade Tiger should be about the same, just a bit bigger."

Wang Yi's eyes lit up. He had almost forgotten that there was a scion of a family of chefs with a long tradition of culinary arts here. He immediately smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your trouble, Sister Jiang."

"But the Jade Tiger is too heavy, you'll have to help." Jiang Yingying rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and shapely arms, and pulled out the short knife tied to her calf, twirling it beautifully: "I can't handle this by myself."

"No problem, just give me your instructions."

"Let's hang him up first."

"Okay."

Wang Yi used a light cage combined with green vines to suspend the jade tiger.

The jade tiger was nearly four meters long. Jiang Yingying used the rock spikes as stepping stones to lift herself to a suitable height.

During her trip to Takekawahara Bridge, Jiang Yingying learned a lot, not only combat experience but also some magic usage.

How come I never noticed before that attack magic rock spikes can also be used as stepping stones?

Jiang Yingying plunged the knife into the wound on Qingyuhu's neck. After moving the knife a couple of times, she immediately sensed something was wrong.

The skin and muscles of the Jade Tiger are far superior to those of an ordinary lamb. Jiang Yingying, lacking Wang Yi's strength, struggled even to open the wound.

Wang Yi noticed this as well, and turned to Wang Jiang: "Old Wang, bring out the sharp edge."

"I think you've gotten used to ordering me around." Wang Jiang glanced at Wang Yi, but still sharpened Jiang Yingying's dagger.

A dark golden luster appeared on the short knife, and Jiang Yingying found it much easier to separate the skin and flesh.

Since the king is not wielding the sword himself, he cannot continuously provide magic power to maintain the duration of Sharpness, so he has to re-release Sharpness every ten seconds or so.

Fortunately, Jiang Yingying was skilled and, in just a few minutes, the entire tiger skin was peeled off completely.

Although making tiger-skin cloaks, carpets, chair cushions, and other products requires many complicated processes such as removing the flesh, degreasing, and tanning, you can take them out first and then find professional craftsmen to make them.

Anyway, Qi Xiaohao is not short of money.
