Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Only now did Wang Yi begin to understand Wang Jiang's feelings, what it meant to say, "You are a first-year high school student because your level is that of a first-year high school student; while I am a first-year high school student because my status is that of a first-year high school student."

After all, Wang Yi's strength had already been proven in the previous final exams, where he genuinely defeated many senior high school students.

The third place in the individual competition of Lanling Magic High School is truly impressive.

Now that the holiday is over, they are even stronger.

Unfortunately, magic high schools in China don't have a system for skipping grades.

Of course, this strength refers solely to combat strength.

Regarding the cultural knowledge test, it can only be said that Wang Yi's grades have improved quite significantly.

Starting from the second semester of the first year of high school, the proportion of magic practice classes increased.

By this time, many students had absorbed a considerable amount of rare-grade magic, and the knowledge imparted by the teachers had progressed from the basics of absorbing magic and strengthening magical power to combat skills.

For example, how to forge magic more efficiently, control magic power more precisely, and the application methods, advantages, and disadvantages of common spells, etc.

These are all experiences and knowledge passed down from generation to generation by mages over the past century in the magical era.

In terms of magic, he relied on his teacher's instruction; in terms of melee combat, he relied on his occasional actual battles with the king.

I got my hands on the new halberd before the start of the semester. This new weapon, which costs nearly 300,000, is naturally much stronger.

In addition to its length increasing from two meters to two and a half meters, making it easier to deal with larger monsters, its weight has also doubled.

After all, with the Golden Body, the weight of the halberd was no longer suitable for the king to use, let alone for the stronger Wang Yi.

The two halberds, one black and one red, were engraved with names on their ferrules: Mo Yun and Chi Xue.

King Wang favored black, so he naturally chose the Ink Cloud Halberd, leaving the Crimson Blood Halberd to Wang Yi.

When Wang Yi first received the Crimson Blood, she was amazed.

The Crimson Blood Halberd felt heavy and solid, weighing about two hundred pounds. The blade gleamed with a cold light, and the shaft was engraved with smooth patterns. It was comfortable to hold, and above the ferrule was a double rectangular gold frame with the words "Crimson Blood" engraved inside.

Even with his rare-grade Thousand-Pound Halberd, Wang Yi couldn't wield such a heavy crimson halberd for long without activating his Golden Light Body, and he might even injure himself.

However, Wang Jiang often sparred with Wang Yi and was well aware of Wang Yi's abnormal physical abilities. The Crimson Blood Halberd was not originally intended for his current use, but was prepared in advance for when he became a mid-level mage.

Compared to Chi Xue's, Wang Jiang's Mo Yun halberd was much lighter.

It's clear that the king had already made arrangements when the product was customized.

Time flies, and years pass by.

After spending half of the second semester of his first year of high school, Wang Yi successfully entered the late stage of the beginner level.

So Wang Yi went to the Magic Crystal Specialty Store on the weekend and bought a mid-level Silverfin Fish Magic Crystal.

Four hundred thousand is just a small amount of money.

Disappointingly, even the rare-grade passive magic, Surge of Mana, did not allow Wang Yi to reach the intermediate-level mage rank as he had hoped.

It's understandable that cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as you progress.

However, this passive magic saved Wang Yi at least a year of arduous training, and now he is only one step away from becoming a mid-level mage.

Wang Yi calmed down and continued his cultivation as usual.

Three weeks later, one night.

Becoming an intermediate-level mage is a natural progression.

Throughout the entire process of advancing from a novice mage to an intermediate mage, Wang Yi did not feel any bottlenecks, thresholds, or constraints.

Just like water overflowing when it's full, this step was taken.

So Wang Yi got up from the darkness, packed up all the magic crystals, hailed a car, and hurriedly headed to the Shangwu Training Hall.

Fortunately, Shangwu is open 24 hours a day. Wang Yi swiped his membership card and opened the training room.

After entering the cultivation room, Wang Yi calmed himself down, then took out the magic crystals and absorbed them one by one.

Mid-tier Jade Tiger Magic Crystal, Mid-tier Earth Dragon/Earthworm Magic Crystal, Mid-tier Dark Gold Mantis Magic Crystal...

One by one, the glowing magic crystals turned into ordinary, gray beads in Wang Yi's hands.

Wang Yi absorbed various divine-grade active and passive magic.

Wang Yi would carefully try out each spell he absorbed.

Experience the release of magic, test its effects, understand its limitations, and contemplate its application.

It wasn't until the next morning, when Wang Yi received a call from Qi Xiaohao, that he came to his senses.

I left Shangwu and went to school.

Wang Yi hadn't run this stretch of road for a while.

I sprinted all the way to school, and I felt like my body had been stretched out.

Although Wang Yi hadn't slept all night, she was still in good spirits.

"Brother E, what are you doing at Shangwu in the middle of the night?" Qi Xiaohao asked Wang Yi curiously.

Wang Yi shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

I'd better not tell Qi Xiaohao about my advancement to intermediate-level mage yet.

Otherwise, if this incident hadn't spread throughout the entire campus before the end of the first class, it would have been because the chubby kid's phone had no internet.

Wang Yi was indifferent to fame and had long been tired of being a prominent figure at school.

Therefore, Wang Yi, a dignified mid-level mage, went to and from school as usual, without revealing his strength.

However, he spent more and more time at the martial arts training hall.

There was no other way. After all, Wang Yi's home didn't have a cultivation room, nor was it registered with the law enforcement department. If he rashly released divine-grade magic, he could only wait to be invited for tea by the law enforcement department.

However, Wang Yi's actions did not arouse suspicion among those around her.

After all, Wang Yi was already very diligent in his daily training, so joining Shangwu was like coming home.

Of course, some people still know that Wang Yi has been promoted to intermediate-level mage.

First, there was Jiang Yue, because Wang Yi had long suspected that Jiang Yue had also advanced to the intermediate-level mage, but was just holding back, so he tested him.

As he expected, the result was exactly as he predicted.

Upon further inquiry, Wang Yi discovered that Jiang Yue had advanced to the intermediate-level mage level half a month earlier than him.

He had the passive magic "Mana Surge" to cheat, but his advancement speed still couldn't compare to that freak Jiang Yue.

The second person to know that Wang Yi had become a mid-level mage was his homeroom teacher, Bai Yu.

After absorbing the Void Realm, Wang Yi discovered that constructing the Void Realm was extremely difficult and the progress was very slow.

Considering that Bai Yu possessed the Void Realm, Wang Yi directly sought out Bai Yu for private tutoring.

Bai Yu was also quite shocked by Wang Yi's rapid advancement.

Keep in mind that it's only the middle of the second semester of his first year of high school. All told, Wang Yi has only been a mage for almost a year.

To reach the intermediate level of mage in just one year—this talent is absolutely top-tier, even in the entire country of China.

It is something that only a genius with both top-tier talent and resources could possibly achieve.

Faced with Bai Yu's shock, in order to divert attention, Wang Yi had no choice but to betray his good brother Jiang Yue.

So Bai Yu didn't have time to say much. After agreeing on a time for after-school tutoring, she rushed out to visit her cousin.

As a result, in the days that followed, Jiang Yue looked at Wang Yi with an unusually resentful gaze.

With Bai Yu's guidance, Wang Yi's construction speed of the virtual realm finally improved significantly.

After that, Wang Yi cultivated step by step, in addition to scattering money.

The first thing to do was to put the project of building an underground training room on the agenda.

After deducting the expenses for the Crimson Blood Halberd and the mid-level Silverfin Fish Magic Crystal, Wang Yi now has approximately 1.8 million left.

With this money, we could barely build a high-level training room, the kind that a mid-level mage could freely use.

The construction team was contacted and started digging at Wang Yi's villa. The digging continued until the end of the semester before they finally finished.

After a simple final exam, the holiday began.

During this holiday, Wang Yi first went to Lingnan Shaqiao.

His application to join the army was easily approved by Commander Zhang Jin.

After all, only a year had passed, and Zhang Jin still had some impression of Wang Yi.

Moreover, Wang Yi's ancestors for two generations were all martyrs. Within the military system, as long as it is within the rules, he is fully entitled to move freely without hindrance.

Nine months later, I stepped into the Lingnan Military Region again.

Standing before Xingxuan at Lingnan Shaqiao, Wang Yi's left corner of his mouth curled up high.

Although less than a year has passed, Wang Yi really wants to say something.

The two-year period has come to an end; we respectfully invite the Dragon King to return to his throne!
