Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Having finalized the matter, Jiang Yue and Wang Jiang did not linger and left directly with the magic crystals that Wang Yi had received as a share of the profits.

In fact, Jiang Yue didn't want to confront Wang Yi so soon. His original plan was to wait until their senior year of high school, when they would have more time to spend together, deepen their relationship, and then find a more suitable opportunity.

Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes.

Jiang Yue hadn't expected Wang Yi to advance to the intermediate-level mage so quickly.

Fortunately, after Wang Yi advanced to the intermediate-level mage, he remained quite low-key, and even when taking the final exam, he did not reveal his intermediate-level status.

Normally, Wang Yi wouldn't have attracted much attention, but this unexpected spatial rift directly revealed all of Wang Yi's situation.

If the combination of medical and support departments isn't considered top-tier, then adding mental and spatial departments would be enough to make all magic universities fight tooth and nail for it.

Moreover, Wang Yi's cultivation speed is so fast.

With such terrifying talent and strength, Jiang Yue could already imagine the heads of admissions offices at top magic universities rubbing their hands together, eager to try their luck, the moment he saw Wang Yi's video.

Time is of the essence. If Jiang Yue doesn't reveal his hand soon, Wang Yi will be attacked at his doorstep.

If this drags on for a few more days, it'll be too late, and Wang Yi might end up looking like someone from another magic university.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Yue had to strike first.

Unfortunately, the next Magic High School World League will be held in Magic Year 99, which is when they will be freshmen.

In the next edition, Jiang Yue was no longer eligible to participate.

Without Wang Yi, Jiang Yue and Wang Jiang alone have little hope of even securing a spot in the competition, let alone getting through the qualifying rounds and entering the official world championship.

We can't expect a Wang Yi to suddenly appear in Beijiang Magic University, can we?

Ultimately, it's not very realistic.

After Jiang Yue and Wang Jiang left, Bai Yu finally couldn't help but say to Wang Yi, "You agreed too quickly."

"It's alright, I did think about it carefully for several seconds," Wang Yi said very seriously.

"Do you know how big the gap is between a top-tier magic university and a first-rate magic university?" Bai Yu explained.

"It's not just about the quality of teachers. You might feel that cultivation is simply about absorbing magic power and persevering, and that magic is simply about practicing more and being diligent. But in terms of resources, the difference between top-tier and first-rate is actually quite large."

"To put it simply, all the top magic universities have their own 'realm' level interdimensional passages, which serve as daily training grounds and major sources of magic crystals. Even the Imperial Magic University has more than one interdimensional passage."

"Don't forget what I said before: the interdimensional passage is also geographically limited, but as long as you have the status of a student at a top-tier magic university, it will be relatively easier to pass the application for other 'realm' level interdimensional passages."

"Especially some rare and precious magic crystals, even if the school's spatial channels don't produce them, we can find a way to exchange them for you. A considerable portion of these magic crystals are the kind that you can't even see in the outside world."

"You can even apply to the school for free mid-to-high-level magic crystals if your grades are good enough. Many of these magic crystals are things that top-tier magic universities simply cannot provide."

In terms of top-tier magic crystal resources, there is indeed a gap between first-class and top-tier magic universities, and Wang Yi certainly couldn't have been unaware of this.

However, Wang Yi agreed to Jiang Yue's request out of friendship, so the resources lost were just a small price to pay.

Moreover, Jiang Yue also said that he could get Wang Yi any magic crystals that weren't below the super-rank level when he went to Beijiang Magic University.

Of course, Jiang Yue could say that, and he might even think that way, but Wang Yi couldn't possibly ask for an exorbitant price.

So Wang Yi said very firmly, "It's just magic crystal resources. I can earn them myself. Besides, it's Jiang's own school. He would never mistreat me."

What a joke! Wang Yi's powerful magic, which he has cultivated to this point, is entirely earned by himself.

Yes, the Flaming Cloud Qilin was left by the original owner's parents, but even if we round it down, it's still their parents.

The Angel of Light was given to him by Qi Xiaohao. He is a half-brother, so there's no need to be distant.

The spiritual and spatial abilities were given to me by my godmother, so... we're family too.

The Dark Gold Mantis originates from the King General, a close brother who is both a mentor and a friend.

The rest is always earned through hard work, right?

Oh, and there's also a blue phoenix.

Damn, when I think about it this way, it seems like I was raised on a gigolo's rice.

Thinking of this, Wang Yi couldn't help but glance at Bai Yu.

How could I forget about the teacher when we were dividing the spoils? My apologies.

Wang Yi parted the void and arranged a row of magic crystals, signifying that these were the students' tribute to their teacher.

Bai Yu glanced at them and saw that they were all powerful, divine-grade attack spells.

"Nonsense, how could a teacher accept your magic crystals?" Bai Yu glared at Wang Yi, pushed all the magic crystals back, and then scolded Wang Yi: "Don't act like a benefactor just because you have some stock. Why don't you save them for yourself? You can't hide your wealth in a doghouse."

After being scolded, Wang Yi had no choice but to reluctantly take back the magic crystal.

Don't give up.

After refusing Wang Yi's offer of magic crystals, Bai Yu continued, "Actually, besides the tangible magic crystal resources, top-tier magic universities have another hidden advantage, which is their network of connections."

At this point, Bai Yu sighed softly: "Although I am reluctant to say this, as long as mages who graduate from top magic universities don't die, they will basically become mid-to-high-level figures in various magic systems. The more you know, the more alumni you will have, and it might make things a lot easier in the future."

"Cattle and sheep travel in herds, but wild beasts always roam alone." Wang Yi waved his hand, exuding domineering confidence: "As long as I'm strong enough, I don't need connections; people will open doors for me."

Bai Yu was choked and glared at Wang Yi again. She realized that Wang Yi was getting a little too cocky.

"And if you're really talking about connections, I'm not lacking either." Wang Yi raised his eyebrows: "Old Jiang and Old Wang are talented and strong. Aren't they all my connections in the future?"

Noticing Qi Xiaohao's gaze, Wang Yi added, "And Xiaohao is also part of my network."

Qi Xiaohao was completely satisfied.

"Alright, alright, but the value of a diploma from a different magic university really does vary." At this point, Bai Yu couldn't help but glance at Qi Xiaohao: "Family background is only one aspect. A diploma from a top-tier magic university represents the magic community's recognition of your talent and strength."

Qi Xiaohao knew that the last sentence was directed at him, but since the other party was his teacher, it wasn't easy for him to talk back. He couldn't unleash his full pent-up energy, which would be a disgrace to the name of a troll. He could only grumble and protest, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Anyway, he'll definitely follow in E's footsteps. A mere diploma from Beijing University of Science and Technology is nothing to him.
