Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Shanghai, riverside.

Wang Yi held a can of wheat juice in his hand, leaned on the stone railing on the riverbank, and leisurely enjoyed the night breeze.

Four days have passed since Xiao Kunze was injured. In these four days, the group of six acted as if they were really on vacation, eating, drinking and having fun, and simply explored most of Shanghai.

These four Heavenly Kings hadn't trained much, and their cultivation time was short. Thinking about it carefully, this was the first time in over a year since he came to this world that he had so much free time to relax.

Buzzing...

The phone in Wang Yi's arms started vibrating wildly. He took it out and saw that the caller ID showed it was his old classmate.

Wang Yi scratched his head, then casually tossed the empty can into a nearby trash can and pressed the answer button.

"Wang Yi!"

An angry roar immediately came through the receiver, and Wang Yi could already picture the angry face of his homeroom teacher, Bai Yu.

"It's bad enough that you skip class every few days, but now you even dare to skip class with Lily and Xiao Hao! You've even lured away the Ji siblings from the first year of high school! Tell me, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

Wang Yi slightly moved the phone away from his ear, and after a few seconds, he brought it back closer and said with some helplessness, "Teacher, Lily and Xiao Hao had some things to do, and they asked you for leave in advance, so why are you so agitated? Besides, July and August also asked their homeroom teacher for leave, following the proper procedures."

Bai Yu snorted coldly upon hearing this: "Yes, Lily and Xiao Hao are on personal leave and sick leave respectively. As a result, their WeChat Moments have been filled with all kinds of exquisite dishes and street food these past two days. They even posted about a dinner party that cost more than 400,000 yuan just now. More than 400,000 yuan, I've never even eaten there!"

The one on sick leave was even more energetic, climbing tall buildings, riding ferries, visiting scenic spots, and going to the beach. It seems he was really quite "sick."

Wang Yi chuckled awkwardly. These two were really careless. They posted on their Moments, but how could they forget to block their teacher? Now look what happened, they've been caught red-handed.

"Get those guys back to class right now! I want to see you in class by tomorrow afternoon at the latest!" Bai Yu roared before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Yu showed no anger on her face, but instead asked with considerable worry, "Grandpa, are they really not in any danger?"

At this moment, Bai Yu was not at her own home, but was instead summoned to Bai Jingting's villa.

Bai Jingting stood at the door with a cup of tea in his hand, gazing at the courtyard as if he had thought of something. He chuckled and said, "The principal of Shanghai Magic High School even called me personally, briefly mentioning a minor friction between students from the two schools. Clearly, in his opinion, this is not a big deal."

"However, after beating someone, Wang Yi continued to swagger around Shanghai, which was a bit impolite. Moreover, this behavior was really too provocative to some people. Principal Hu's implied meaning was that he wanted Wang Yi to go back as soon as possible to avoid a deeper conflict, which was something he did not want to see."

"Stimulate nerves? Stimulate whose nerves?" Bai Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Who else could it be? It hurts anyone whose child gets beaten." Bai Jingting raised his hand to his lips, paused for a moment, and murmured, "I hope no one will do anything foolish."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yi shook his head slightly, though he hadn't planned to stay any longer anyway.

There was no movement at all during these four days. It was unclear whether Xiao Kunze was truly not going to retaliate or whether he had been silenced.

Since that's the case, let's not waste any more time and go straight back to Lanling City tomorrow.

At this moment, Wang Yi suddenly turned his head to the right, his left hand gripping the railing tightened slightly, and his pupils contracted.

To Wang Yi's right, a blood-red mist seemed to roll in and engulf one unsuspecting passerby after another.

But the passersby who hadn't been swallowed up yet were behaving the same as usual, without any unusual behavior.

Wang Yi quickly turned to look at Qi Xiaohao and the others who were a little further away, only to find that they were still happily taking photos and checking in.

This relieved Wang Yi, as it was clear that this was directed at him alone.

Wang Yi raised his hand to straighten his collar, then turned to face the blood mist, his arms hanging at his sides as he waited quietly.

Thump... Thump... Thump... Thump...

Footsteps echoed through the blood mist, growing louder and louder as they approached, as if each step was pounding on his heartbeat, gradually filling Wang Yi's mind.

Wang Yi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He lowered his body slightly, and his ten fingers unconsciously formed a dragon claw shape.

The blood mist drew ever closer, threatening to engulf him, and the pressure grew ever greater. Just as Wang Yi was about to unleash his magic to transform into a dragon, a deep, aged cough suddenly came from behind him.

Xu Jun had somehow gotten behind Wang Yi.

In an instant, Wang Yi felt a sense of relief and his mind cleared. The overwhelming blood-red mist before his eyes vanished completely, and only a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties and was dressed in a formal suit suddenly appeared. He was now more than ten meters away from Wang Yi and was slowly walking towards him.

Wang Yi calmed the surging magic within him, sized up the middle-aged man before him, and immediately recognized him as Xiao Ziru, the Minister of Law Enforcement in Shanghai and a transcendent mage.

Xiao Ziru also has another identity: Xiao Kunze's father.

Okay, everything makes sense now; the real deal has appeared.

Xiao Ziru's gaze passed over Wang Yi and landed on Xu Jun behind Wang Yi. He paused slightly, then continued walking towards Wang Yi.

Only after reaching Wang Yi's side did Xiao Ziru smile slightly at the tense Wang Yi and say apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was busy with a case recently and accidentally got injured. I couldn't control my aura a bit. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

Wang Yi slightly raised his eyes, sneered inwardly, and quickly realized what was happening.

If his aura had truly spiraled out of control due to injury, he wouldn't have only disturbed one person; clearly, Xiao Ziru was deliberately targeting him.

However, the aura is too elusive. Unlike magic, which can be detected by magic detection devices, apart from Wang Yi and Xu Jun behind him, no one else could sense it or detect it, and of course, there was no evidence.

Moreover, Xiao Ziru had already come up with an excuse, and Wang Yi had not suffered any substantial harm. Even if this matter was confirmed, at most Xiao Ziru would just apologize. What impact could it have on a transcendent mage, the Minister of Law Enforcement, one of the three giants of Shanghai?

Moreover, Xiao Ziru apologized immediately after realizing something was wrong.

Therefore, even though Wang Yi knew that the other party was deliberately targeting her, she did not expose them.

no need.

This is due to a lack of strength and an imbalance in status.
