Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

In the reception room, five soldiers from different armies sat upright opposite Bai Jingting.

Even Bai Jingting, a transcendent mage, felt some pressure at this moment.

Having reached the rank of Major General, he is already worthy of being called a "General".

Moreover, these five are all deputy division-level military officers, the kind who are stationed on the front lines. They are all veteran generals who have paved their way with blood, built their foundations with glory, and accumulated numerous merits.

Compared to all of this, their status as high-level mages is almost insignificant.

After a brief self-introduction, Bai Jingting gazed at the bubbling tea in front of him, poured tea for each general, and then fell silent.

It's just Wang Yi, why make such a big fuss?

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Lanling City was about to open a "boundary" level spatial rift, and the military was holding a meeting and drills in advance.

Although Wang Yi is indeed an extremely rare genius, he is still just a high school sophomore.

However, considering that he is already a mid-level mage, he can be considered a pillar of the mage world.

From this perspective, participating might not be a bad idea after all.

But is it really necessary to alert five major generals to come and demand the person?

These five are all frontline officers with actual duties, unlike the rear-area soldiers who only have military ranks but no military positions.

Even though the two lieutenant generals in charge of the admissions departments of Huaxia Magic Military University and Huaxia Magic Military University have higher military ranks than these five major generals, they are really incomparable in terms of power.

Even though Bai Jingting is a transcendent mage, he is still outmatched by these five major generals.

What does the military mean by sending the major general here? Is it to put pressure on me and force me to release him?

Thinking of this, Bai Jingting couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

If Wang Yi wants to join the army in the future, he will naturally not stop him, but for now, in his eyes, Wang Yi's identity is still just a high school sophomore.

My shoulders aren't strong enough to bear heavy burdens.

The military's demand for people like this is a bit excessive.

What kind of monk joins the army before even graduating from high school?

Bai Jingting raised his eyes and swept them over the five generals.

The Pioneer Army stationed in Xunyuan and the Death Army stationed in Zhenyuan are the two armies with the most high-level mages and extraordinary mages, and are undoubtedly the strongest armies in China.

They were on par with the Tianfu Army, which had already been wiped out and guarded Liyuan.

The Night Watch Army, responsible for protecting the nation and its land, is the most secretive, the smallest in number, and the most individually skilled elite force.

Why are even the Night Watchmen here? Could it be that the Night Watchman hidden in Lanling City has made a move?

The first wave of the Bloodstained Army to explore the passage between the two worlds was the most risky and the most capable army overall.

They stormed into the newly appeared interdimensional passage, stabilized and established a base, but the Bloodstained Army suffered the highest casualty rate.

The Candlelight Army, stationed at the middle and lower levels of the interdimensional passage, is the largest army in terms of numbers, but also ranks relatively low.

Wait a minute, it seems like a different kind of army has infiltrated.

Why are the Candlelight Army getting involved?

Bai Jingting glanced intently at Li Dianwei, the major general of the Candlelight Army, a question lingering in his mind.

It wasn't that he looked down on the Candlelight Army; it was just that although the Candlelight Army's mission was arduous, its main responsibility was to guard the 'Bridge' level interdimensional passages and a few 'World' level interdimensional passages.

Just like military unit designations, they are like candlelight spreading across the land of China, illuminating the way forward.

As is well known, high-level mages cannot enter the "bridge" level interdimensional passage, so the Candlelight Army has the fewest high-level mages among the powerful armies of China, and compared with other armies, it does not need elites.

Therefore, the geniuses in the Candlelight Army, after being promoted to high-level mages, will basically choose to be transferred to other powerful armies.

Because they frequently provide training to other armies, the Candlelight Army is jokingly referred to within the military system as "China's No. 1 Youth Training Army".

Why did the Candlelight Army recruit Wang Yi? Was it to train her well and then hand her over to other armies?

It would be better to just let other armies train them from scratch.

Perhaps Bai Jingting's gaze was too direct, for Li Dianwei couldn't help but cough lightly.

Although Li Dianwei knew that the Candlelight Army might not be able to keep Wang Yi for long, having Wang Yi join them was still a way of showing goodwill.

Moreover, the Candlelight Army also has several 'realm' level interdimensional passages stationed there, so at least until Wang Yi advances to the extraordinary realm, he will have plenty of places to stay.

Furthermore, when Wang Yi first entered the interdimensional passage, it was at Lingnan Shaqiao, where the Candlelight Army was stationed. Zhang Jin patted his chest and said that he had taken good care of him and had a good relationship with the other party, which is why Li Dianwei came to give it a try.

Actually, the person who should have come was Zhang Jin. Although Zhang Jin was only a lieutenant colonel, he had the advantage of being a familiar face.

However, the other powerful military units must have been bored out of their minds, because all of them who came were major generals. Their ranks were too high. Zhang Jin didn't dare to utter a single word when he came over, and probably didn't even dare to sit down.

Therefore, the Candlelight Army had no choice but to temporarily replace Li Dianwei with him.

Of course, compared with other powerful military forces, even though he was also a major general, Li Dianwei lacked confidence.

"I already know the purpose of your visit, generals." Bai Jingting picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly, "But Wang Yi is still just a child."

"A child who fights against ten thousand beasts?" Major General Huo Feipeng of the Burning Blood Army asked rhetorically.

"Age does not represent strength, and heroes cannot be judged by common sense," said Major General Chen Guang of the Night Watch.

"A mid-level mage is already considered an elite in the army, let alone an ordinary mid-level mage," General Xu Jin of the Death Army added.

"He stepped forward at critical moments, brave and fearless, and undaunted by death. This kid is born to be a soldier," Major General Zhou Lixin of the Pioneer Army concluded.

"Yes, yes," Major General Li Dianwei of the Candlelight Army echoed.

Bai Jingting was helpless.

How could one mouth out-argue five?

Left with no other choice, Bai Jingting had to invoke the rules and regulations: "Those under the age of eighteen are not allowed to join the army. Even if I release him, Wang Yi will still have to wait another year before he meets the basic requirements."

"Then let him be registered in my Blood Burning Army for now, as an internship. I will send elite soldiers to train him, improve his strength and combat experience, and make sure he is well taken care of," Huo Pengfei said directly.

"As the strongest army in China, the army that is going to join is the army that is going to join," Xu Jin said domineeringly. "How can you become the strongest mage without experiencing the fierce winds of Xunyuan?"

"Old Xu, I don't understand what you're saying. The strongest army in China, self-proclaimed? Did you even ask my Pioneer Army?" Zhou Lixin sneered, "Zhenyuan's thunder isn't necessarily a bad thing either."

"Wang Yi's talent and combat prowess make him the perfect fit for my Night Watch," Chen Guang stated, presenting the facts and reasoning. "He's not an offensive magic user and can't possess wide-area attack spells, so he has an advantage against human mages than against hordes of magical beasts."

"Well, how about we let Wang Yi train with the Candlelight Army for a few years first, and then you can rob him?" Li Dianwei said weakly.

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to them.

Wang Yi's talent, strength, and temperament are all top-notch. Moreover, he has impeccable political background. Which powerful army wouldn't want to recruit him directly and train him intensively? Why let the Candlelight Army go through the trouble of recruiting him again?

"Alright, I'll call Wang Yi over and hear his opinion." Bai Jingting rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. If he didn't interrupt, these major generals might start rolling up their sleeves in his reception room.

Bai Jingting's suggestion was accepted by everyone.

The army is not a prison; ultimately, it depends on Wang Yi's personal choice.

So Bai Jingting personally went to Wang Yi, who was in anatomy class, and called her over, briefly explaining the situation on the way.

"If you have a strong military unit in mind, you can consider doing an internship there. After all, your current abilities are progressing rather slowly at school. If you don't want to go, feel free to refuse. As long as you haven't graduated, even if a major general or a lieutenant general came to the school, they couldn't take you away." Bai Jingting reassured Wang Yi.

Wang Yi stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Five powerful military forces are vying for his attention; how should they choose?

No, only children make choices. Is it possible that he wants them all?
