Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Wang Yi gripped the scorpion's tail tightly with both hands, using his power-generating techniques to increase his strength dramatically.

Bang bang bang... Ding!

The scorpion's tail finally came to a slow stop in front of Wang Yi's heart, making a crisp sound.

After stopping the scorpion's tail, Wang Yi twisted it with all his might. The blue-armored scorpion's tail immediately made a sound of being unable to bear the weight. A small section between his palms was forced to bend at a fifty-degree angle, and after being stretched to its limit, it made a 'crack' sound.

Blue fragments fell from the bend, revealing the pale blue true exoskeleton.

The outermost layer of its dark blue shell is actually its legendary defensive magic: Blue Scorpion Armor.

While breaking through the blue scorpion's armor, Wang Yi twisted his hands, breaking off the end of the scorpion's tail completely. Then, he pulled hard along the seam of the blue scorpion's tail carapace, tearing off the entire stinger.

He casually tossed the blue-armored scorpion's stinger onto the ground, and blue-green venom flowed from the broken stinger, dripping onto the rock and corroding small pits.

The menacing pincers attacked again, but Wang Yi raised his foot to block them and then kicked at the blue-armored scorpion's skull. However, the blue-armored scorpion neither dodged nor avoided the attack, but instead spat out a mouthful of clear, dark blue flame, illuminating the dark cave.

This is a legendary-grade attack spell of the Blue Armor Scorpion, called Blue Flame True Fire.

According to the materials Wang Yi studied, the Blue Flame True Fire has extremely high damage, comparable to, and even slightly superior to, the Phoenix Flame Domain after it has been refined.

If Blue Flame True Fire weren't not a domain magic, the legendary strongest fire-type attack magic might not have fallen to Phoenix Flame Domain.

Unfortunately, even the most powerful fire is still just fire.

And this is precisely what Wang Yi fears least.

Or rather, Wang Yi had actually been waiting for the Blue Armor Scorpion to unleash its Blue Flame True Fire, and now his wish had finally come true.

The blue flames were breathed onto Wang Yi's body and immediately burst into flames. The surrounding air was violently distorted and fluctuated. Even the red flames emanating from Wang Yi's body were burned out by the blue flames.

"Very strong!" Wang Yi murmured with satisfaction, referring both to the Blue Flame True Fire and to himself in his current state.

Taking a deep breath, the clear, dark blue flames, like flowing sapphires, were swallowed by Wang Yi, and the crimson dragon scales began to be tinged with a dark blue luster.

Wang Yi's size increased again, reaching an astonishing four meters in height, before plunging headfirst into the top of the somewhat narrow underground cave.

Being surrounded by flames will enhance the body of the Fiery Dragon, and the powerful Blue Flame True Fire undoubtedly accelerates this process for Wang Yi.

Although Wang Yi guessed that the Flame Dragon Body could not be strengthened indefinitely, even now, Wang Yi did not feel that he had touched the limit of the Flame Dragon Body.

Feeling his body being amplified once again, Wang Yi lowered his head and smashed through the tofu-like rock ceiling, looking down at the much smaller Blue Armored Scorpion, before stepping down.

boom!

The cave shook incessantly, with rocks constantly falling. The blue-armored scorpion's body was deeply embedded in the rock, and several cracks appeared on its glistening blue armor.

High-level magical beasts are a piece of cake.

It's hard to imagine just how powerful a magical beast a real fire dragon would be.

However, Wang Yi quickly realized that the real Flame Dragon might not be particularly powerful, since the Flame Dragon's body was only equivalent to a physical amplification device.

If your base stats aren't high enough, then no matter how much you increase them, the extent to which you become stronger will be limited.

To be like a tiger with wings, you must first be a tiger.

If the Flame Dragon cannot possess the golden body, jade-like bones and icy skin, immense endurance, and light, free-flowing flames like Wang Yi, then perhaps once Wang Yi becomes a high-level mage and the Flame Dragon's body naturally becomes a legendary-grade magic, even a truly high-level Flame Dragon would have to obediently bow down before Wang Yi.

Kneeling on one knee, Wang Yi clenched his dragon claw into a fist, ignoring the blue-armored scorpion's extended pincers, and continued to smash into the scorpion's head.

The pincers gripped Wang Yi's thighs and waist, tightening relentlessly, yet they couldn't even break through his scales.

Wang Yi transformed into a pile driver, pounding the Blue Armored Scorpion's head with punches, as if he were hammering stubborn iron.

Fierce, savage, but domineering.

The cracks in the blue scorpion's shell became more and more obvious until it shattered completely, revealing its pale blue exoskeleton.

Meanwhile, the crater beneath the blue-armored scorpion continued to expand, causing both the man and the beast to sink deeper into the ground.

A short while later, Wang Yi stood up in the pit, his shoulders and above protruding from the ground. He was holding two small magic crystals in his huge dragon claws, looking somewhat puzzled.

How could a magical beast produce two magic crystals?

Looking up, he saw that the bulky bee-like magical beast hadn't run very far, so he felt relieved and began to examine the magic within the magic crystal.

Blue Flame True Fire [Legendary]: Releases true fire to incinerate enemies (cannot be absorbed).

Blue Scorpion Armor [Legendary]: Releases a hard armor covering the entire body (temporarily unabsorbable).

Thousand Pounds [Legendary] [Passive] Increases Strength (temporarily unabsorbable)

Just by looking at the magic contained in this magic crystal, you can tell it belongs to the Blue Armored Scorpion.

The other magic crystal is quite interesting.

Mental Shock [Divine]: Causes a mental shock to a conscious life form (cannot be absorbed).

Parasitic [Divine] When it resides within the brain tissue of a living being, it can control the behavior of that living being (and can absorb it).

Armor-Piercing Tail Spikes [Divine]: Grow tail spikes that can penetrate defenses (can be absorbed).

Son of the Queen Bee [Divine] [Passive] Accepts the Queen Bee's commands regardless of distance (can be absorbed).

So this is a magical beast parasitizing the head of the Blue Armored Scorpion? And the Blue Armored Scorpion's behavior is actually controlled by this magical beast?

Wang Yi didn't see the specific appearance of this monster. It must have been that when he was hammering the Blue Armored Scorpion, he accidentally smashed the monster and the Blue Armored Scorpion's head into mincemeat.

Then Wang Yi thought of the barefoot black-armored centipede that was broken in two. No wonder he could sense the life flame of a mid-level magical beast after its life flame weakened. It turned out that it had also been parasitized.

From this perspective, the three high-level magical beasts that Wang Yi encountered were actually puppets that had been parasitized.

This is incredibly powerful; a mid-level magical beast is actually able to parasitize and control a high-level magical beast.

Or perhaps, when they were parasitized, these three magical beasts were still mid-level, but now they have become high-level and are still subject to control?

The passive spell "Son of the Queen Bee" is even more interesting.

All the passive magic Wang Yi had encountered was designed to enhance his own strength. This was the first time he had seen a passive magic whose purpose was simply to receive commands.

It could even be said that the purpose of this magic is to bring oneself under the control of the queen bee.

What is this, self-parasitism?

Wang Yi looked up again at the bee-like magical beast that was still crawling.

So, this magical beast is the so-called Queen Bee?
