Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

As long as Wang Yi doesn't die, he'll at least become a very powerful high-level mage in the future, and there's a very high probability he'll become a top-tier extraordinary mage.

Chen Guang never doubted Wang Yi's talent and strength.

However, powerful mages and powerful soldiers are not necessarily the same thing.

The Night Watch is different from other powerful armies, which mostly guard the passage between the two worlds and are relatively more focused on combat because their only enemy is monsters.

The Night Watch, stationed in the mortal realm, wields immense authority, but having spent years navigating darkness and witnessing countless mages from various countries and the human tragedies they have created, their legs are covered in mud, making them more susceptible to corruption and contamination.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

The Night Watch allows for a degree of secrecy, but on the big picture, mutual trust is essential.

Furthermore, prioritizing personal interests over national interests is always the biggest taboo in the military.

In the Battle of Liyuan, if the Tianfu Army had been willing to withdraw from Liyuan and allow the many demonic beasts to rush out, they would not have suffered much loss. It would have simply meant that the southeastern coast of China would have been engulfed by a beast tide. However, they chose to fight to the death and risk their lives to create a temporary defensive line against the demonic beasts.

The four veteran Night Watchers, Dragon, Rabbit, Goose, and Owl, were tasked with intercepting eight extraordinary mages from an evil organization. Did they not know that their mission was essentially a death sentence?

But if they don't die, once Xunyuan or Zhenyuan is breached from both inside and outside, it will be hundreds of millions of Chinese people who die, and it will be the present and future of China that perish.

Therefore, they went without hesitation.

Wang Yi is very strong, both in terms of talent and strength; otherwise, there wouldn't have been a situation where five powerful armies were vying for her.

Wang Yi has a good temperament and is very admirable in his conduct and work. In addition, with the senior's high regard for him, Chen Guang really wanted to recruit Wang Yi into the Night Watch Army. Otherwise, would he really think that he, as a major general, was so idle that he personally led Wang Yi on missions and even came to investigate the plastic surgery monster on short notice, without leaving Wang Yi aside?

All kinds of equipment information, as long as it wasn't too highly classified, were made available to Wang Yi.

He is a formidable figure, with extraordinary potential. In a few years, he will become the next generation's tyrant.

An intern with no merits and no tasks received resources and training from the Night Watch, a level of support that even Chen Guang's own son wouldn't receive.

However, all of this is predicated on cultivating a Night Watchman who can shoulder great responsibilities in the future, or even a military superhuman, who will be a general of China and a pillar of the nation in any strong military.

This is something that other powerful militaries probably think the same way.

Of course, the Night Watch is the best option.

It's true that the five major military powers hope Wang Yi will join the army and become a citizen, but after joining the army, every step he takes up will be subject to corresponding scrutiny, especially after the Liyuan Battle.

This review includes family background, personality, ideology, psychological assessment, and so on; if necessary, even mantra magic may be used.

As for the possibility that this would lead to the loss of human rights, freedom, and privacy for ordinary people, then it can be said with certainty that yes, that is the case.

Because you are a soldier.

Soldiers need fearlessness, loyalty and faith; they need passion, responsibility and mission; they need discipline, obedience and commitment.

Not a single word in this mentions so-called human rights, freedom, or privacy.

Does a death mission constitute a violation of human rights? Does obeying discipline constitute a restriction of freedom? Does review and evaluation constitute an invasion of privacy?

If that's what you're after, why become a soldier?

An army without faith and discipline will only become an armed mob.

Chen Guang happened to be there and took the opportunity to make a deal.

Actually, if Wang Yi fails the test, it won't have much of an impact. Chen Guang will naturally keep his promise regarding the resources and teaching he made.

Wang Yi will remain a genius of China, and two years later, he will be able to represent China in the Global Magic High School Professional League and win honors.

With his talent and ability, he will have the opportunity to shine in the education system, medical system, and even law enforcement system, and hold important positions with a bright future.

He's just not suitable for a high-ranking position in the military, a point that I believe other powerful militaries would not disagree with.

The military is ultimately different.

Wang Yi's mood is actually quite chaotic right now.

But this isn't because of murder. He already has four lives on his hands, so one more plastic surgery monster won't make a difference.

However, the thirteen lives lost in the hall had a greater impact on him.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

So when Chen Guang said that the plastic surgery monster had escaped, Wang Yi just stared blankly at the messy hall.

Chen Guang was somewhat disappointed when he didn't get the answer he wanted. Looking at Wang Yi again, he found Wang Yi lost in thought, so he patted Wang Yi's shoulder: "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

Newborn skin is extremely sensitive. Wang Yi's lips twitched, and he came to his senses, then shook his head.

His injuries were indeed severe, but not fatal; he can recover on his own.

He still had a chance to be treated, but the people here never had that chance again. They didn't even have complete bodies; their ashes had completely blended into the ruins, inseparable from them.

"Thirteen people died here, in an instant." Wang Yi looked around, expressionless. "Did they really feel nothing when they killed them?"

Aside from monsters, Wang Yi only experienced one attack from humans, which was the four-person team led by Yu Chuanbo in the Takekawahara Bridge.

However, their attack on Wang Yi could be attributed to profit; money can move people's hearts. But the plastic surgery monster truly doesn't care about human life.

While attacking Wang Yi, they also indiscriminately affected others, including strangers and even their female companions.

It can be said that they have no humanity whatsoever.

"Have you ever thought that when you have the power to kill a group of people with a single thought, how many people will be able to uphold their bottom line as time goes by?" Chen Guang shook his head: "At that time, people may no longer be considered as our own kind in our hearts, at most they are just talking ants."

"Without strict legal restrictions, at first it might be that if you offended me, I could choose to kill you. But it gradually evolved into me killing you just because you insulted me or I saw that you were in a bad mood."

"Killing people will be much simpler than an ordinary person stepping on ants. At least an ordinary person would have to spend effort to boil several kettles of water to deal with a nest of ants, while a high-level mage can kill people with just a spell. With a thought, the magic is created on its own, and there won't even be any bloody scenes. A group of people can be evaporated and disappear completely."

"Magic is just a kind of power, and anyone has the opportunity to obtain it. How to use this power depends on the choice of the mage. There will never be a shortage of bad people in this world, just as there will never be a shortage of heroes. Humans are such complex animals, with their upper and lower limits as vast as clouds and mud."

"What we can do is respect life, revere life, and keep the scum away from life."

Oh woo... Oh woo...

Sirens blared outside; law enforcement had arrived and cordoned off the area, preparing to handle the aftermath.

Chen Guang turned around: "Let's go. Next, we'll leave the aftermath to the law enforcement department. They'll check the deceased's identity, issue an obituary, grant the status of a field martyr, and distribute pensions and benefits to the martyr's family. We also need to... seal off the surrounding area and issue a warrant for the escaped plastic surgery monster."

"No need to issue a warrant, he's already dead." Wang Yi raised his left hand, loosened his clenched fist, and a human crystal rolled gently in his palm: "I killed him."

Chen Guang paused, letting out a long sigh.
