Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

After the New Year, Qi's parents spent another week together, which was quite rare for them.

It seems that no matter which part of China you're in, visiting relatives and friends is an unavoidable part of celebrating the Chinese New Year.

Of course, the main visitors were Qi Xiaohao's relatives.

After all, Wang Yi's family was full of loyal martyrs, which is the literal meaning.

In fact, Wang Yi and Wang Jiang are very similar. Not only do they share the same surname, but they also both like close combat, and their family situations are also similar.

Wang Yi also came from a military family, but unlike Wang Jiang, Wang Yi's grandparents, father, and mother all died tragically in their prime, and were unable to carry on the family line.

It's easy to imagine that Wang Yi's parents, who were able to guard Li Yuan, couldn't possibly be weak in terms of strength.

As one of the three "abysses" within China, Li Yuan is the highest-level interdimensional passage. The Tianfu Army, which was once able to garrison Li Yuan, was among the top three in strength among the ten armies of China, and its soldiers were all elites among elites.

Unfortunately, the Battle of Liyuan not only wiped out the Tianfu Army, but also destroyed Liyuan, a stable source of high-level magic crystals.

If Wang Yi's parents hadn't sacrificed themselves, they would now be at least two high-level mages with certain positions in the army. In that case, Wang Yi would have received meticulous upbringing from a young age, just like Wang Jiang, and would never have lacked magic crystal resources.

Since they weren't particularly rare mid-to-high-level magic crystals, Wang Yi had virtually no trouble using them; absorbing one and discarding another was enough.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Yi was dragged by Xue Wanwan to visit Qi Xiaohao's maternal grandparents as his godson.

As Qi Xiaohao said, his maternal grandparents were just ordinary billionaires.

Wang Yi went there once, and the New Year's money he received was almost equal to all the gains he made from risking his life to hunt monsters at Zhuchuanyuan Bridge.

This made Wang Yi feel embarrassed, but also inevitably raised some doubts.

How did his original self manage to spend all that money?

Of course, Wang Yi later learned that although he had long been recognized as Qi Xiaohao's godson by Qi's parents, this was the first time in all these years that Wang Yi had met Qi Xiaohao's maternal grandparents.

Moreover, this time he was taken there by Qi's parents, so such a large red envelope also meant a kind of "changing of address" money.

In previous years, when Qi's parents didn't come back, Qi Xiaohao would go to see his maternal grandparents by himself, and Wang Yi never went with him.

This time, Wang Yi was simply dragged there by her godmother.

Aside from these two elders, Qi Xiaohao didn't have any other close relatives.

Qi Yunzhi and Xue Wanwan have no siblings, and Qi Xiaohao's grandparents passed away in an accident ten years ago.

So after only two days at Qi Xiaohao's maternal grandparents' house, Wang Yi returned to Lanling City.

Upon returning, the king gave Wang Yi two magic crystals, one of which was the sharp magic that Wang Yi had been longing for.

It seems that Wang Jiang's father also got a holiday this New Year and personally brought the magic crystal back.

The two magic crystals originated from the Dark Gold Mantis of Xunyuan, a magical beast with both a high lower limit and a high upper limit.

In short, the Dark Gold Mantis can be found in everything from low-level monsters to high-level monsters.

These two magical beasts are of intermediate rank. Considering that the King General is about to be promoted to intermediate mage, Wang Bing directly gave the King General five intermediate dark gold mantis magic crystals.

Then Wang Jiang gave Wang Yi two magic crystals.

Wang Yi tentatively inquired about the price of the magic crystals, and Wang Jiang bluntly stated that no money was needed.

The king is not short of money, and if he needs money, the nature of the matter changes somewhat.

Wang Yi had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​paying, and secretly remembered this favor.

Then Wang Yi gave Wang Jiang a magic crystal of the Light Angel, which was given to him by Qi Xiaohao last time.

Although the King is not a healer and cannot absorb the healing rays, the Light Angels also possess divine-grade attack magic, the Holy Light Judgment Spear.

Of the two Dark Gold Mantis magic crystals, Wang Yi only took one.

Wang Yi did not deliberately hide the fact that he had an exceptionally high success rate in absorbing magic from his friends who had gone through life and death together several times.

Wang Yi gave half of the four spirit-type and space-type magic crystals that his godmother Xue Wanwan had given him to Qi Xiaohao, keeping only one for himself.

After all, for others, even if they fail to absorb it on the first try, having one more magic crystal means having one more chance.

Afterwards, they finalized the matter of customizing a halberd with Wang Jiang. This time, considering Wang Yi's current strength, they directly customized an upgraded version.

The weight and sturdiness have been improved, but of course, the price has also increased significantly.

However, Wang Yi is currently in a position where he is not short of money, so he is very extravagant and does not care about the price.

Moreover, now that he has obtained the magic crystal containing the void realm, Wang Yi has a bold idea.

A week after the Lunar New Year, Qi's parents left.

Wang Yi and Qi Xiaohao turned around and returned to the Zhuchuan Plain Bridge to cultivate.

This time, Wang Yi went to Zhuchuanyuan Bridge solely for cultivation.

Moreover, since Wang Jiang and Jiang Yue were not accompanying them this time, Wang Yi had even less intention of taking Qi Xiaohao on an adventure.

Even after Jiang Yingying came in after the New Year and wanted to team up with Wang Yi to go back to the grasslands, Wang Yi still refused.

After all, Wang Yi's fundamental purpose in coming to Zhuchuan Yuanqiao was always to cultivate.

My previous trip to the grasslands was merely for future cultivation and to earn resources.

There's no shortage of resources right now, so there's definitely no need to go out and roam the grasslands anymore.

Although Wang Yi can now kill top hunters among mid-level magical beasts like the Jade Tiger at will, that's only because he happens to have a natural advantage against it.

Wang Yi was very clear-headed. Although the Azure Jade Tiger was a top-tier mid-level magical beast in the Bamboo River Plain Bridge, and he could kill it without taking any damage, it didn't mean he could do whatever he wanted in the Bamboo River Plain Bridge.

Not to mention the possibility of encountering earth dragons or earthworms again, even if he encounters a mid-level magical beast that the Azure Jade Tiger can hunt, as long as that magical beast possesses a relatively powerful divine-grade attack magic, Wang Yi will at most be able to barely protect himself.

Protecting Qi Xiaohao and Jiang Yingying will be very difficult.

Wang Yi hasn't absorbed the Mighty Roar yet, so he can't control the mid-level magical beast.

We should wait until he reaches the intermediate level before making any decisions.

Wang Yi now possesses several powerful mid-tier magic crystals, along with more than a dozen active and passive divine-grade spells.

Everything is ready; all that's missing is the advancement.

Mid-tier mage, that's the version where he truly shines.

Two months of vacation passed by in the midst of the monotonous training at the Zhuchuan base.

The academic life at Lanling Magic High School has begun anew.
