Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

The unveiling ceremony was organized by Meng Fanjin, the mayor of Lanling City. It just so happens that it has been a year since the spatial rift incident in Lanling City. As the spatial rift incident with the fewest casualties and the least economic losses since the beginning of the magic era, it is quite nice to hold an event to commemorate it.

Moreover, although Wang Yi has always kept a low profile, he is quite popular in Lanling City, and everyone is truly grateful to him for saving their lives.

In the information age, the tragedies caused by the massive influx of Warcraft after spatial rifts appeared in various places have long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.

So Meng Fanjin simply erected a bronze statue of Wang Yi at the scene of the incident.

When Wang Yi first heard the news, he was actually reluctant because it was too ostentatious.

However, Meng Fanjin was particularly determined about this matter, and Feng Manman and Wu Jie were also very supportive.

On the one hand, although Wang Yi stopped the monsters back then, Lanling City was under Meng Fanjin's jurisdiction. With Wang Yi's help, the three leaders of Lanling City not only survived a disaster but also gained considerable merit.

On the other hand, it's not uncommon for such a remarkable person to emerge from the small city of Lanling, especially one who is young, promising, and has a bright future. It's certainly worth commemorating.

Later, the matter was posted online, and the citizens of Lanling City held a collective vote. Almost no one objected, so even if Wang Yi was unwilling, he couldn't go against everyone's wishes.

Fortunately, at Wang Yi's insistence, Meng Fanjin removed his speaking assignments, leaving only the unveiling ceremony.

After the unveiling was completed, Wang Yi greeted everyone present, which drew a thunderous response, before returning to the backstage area.

Finding a secluded changing room, Wang Yi tapped his watch, swiped open the virtual world to take out a set of clothes, put on his glasses, changed his appearance, and quietly left to blend into the crowd to find Qi Xiaohao and the others.

Wang Yi lowered his head slightly and nimbly and quickly weaved through the restless crowd, soon finding Qi Xiaohao and the others.

They were all in the front row, standing close to the bronze statue, commenting on it. If there hadn't been railings around the statue, Qi Xiaohao would have loved to go up and slap it a couple of times to satisfy his urge.

Just as Wang Yi was about to step forward, a hand suddenly landed on Wang Yi's shoulder.

Wang Yi reacted quickly, grabbing the other person's wrist with his own. He looked up, then released his grip and smiled, "Yun Xian, long time no see."

Yun Xian laughed and punched Wang Yi: "A year, that's a long time indeed."

Wang Yi relaxed his muscles, slightly releasing his tension to avoid making Yun Xian feel like she was punching a wall. Just as he was about to speak, Qi Xiaohao's voice came from behind him: "Brother E, you're back... Hey, isn't this Yun Xian?"

Yun Xian looked in the direction of the voice and saw an unfamiliar chubby face. Just as she was wondering what was going on, Wang Yi smiled and began to introduce her.

"This is my brother Qi Xiaohao, and this is Yunxian. Do you know Xiaohao?"

"Yes, yes, I've seen the video. It was the one where you and I intercepted Warcraft together, E-ge," Qi Xiaohao said. "Mayor Meng mentioned it just now."

Yun Xian said embarrassedly, "I didn't make any contribution."

"If you hadn't acted decisively at the beginning, the casualties would definitely not have been so low." Wang Yi disagreed, arguing briefly before moving on to ask, "How's the Imperial Capital Magic University?"

"Impressive. My skills have improved a lot this year. If we have the chance, we can give it a try." Yun Xian was eager to try. Although he knew he was probably no match for Wang Yi, it would always be good to have a friendly spar.

"Of course, I'd be happy to oblige." Wang Yi naturally wouldn't refuse.

At this moment, a tall figure appeared behind Yun Xian. Yun Xian suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck, and then hurriedly turned around to introduce, "Wang Yi, this is my sister, Yun Yi. She is studying at Shanghai University and will be a senior soon."

"Hello, Wang Yi." Yun Yi smiled sweetly and extended her hand to Wang Yi.

She had seen Wang Yi on camera before, but Wang Yi had never seen her.

"Hello, Sister Yun." Wang Yi shook hands politely, vaguely remembering that Yun Xian was video chatting with her sister at the time.

One is from Beijing University of Science and Technology, and the other is from Shanghai University of Science and Technology. These siblings are both very talented and strong.

"Yunxian, Sister Yun, it's almost lunchtime, shall we go together?" Qi Xiaohao invited warmly.

Yun Xian and Yun Yi readily agreed.

So the number of people at the dinner party increased by two more.

After the unveiling ceremony, Qi Xiaohao hosted a feast for everyone, and then Wang Yi acted as the host, taking the Yun siblings and Jiang Yingying on a two-day tour of Lanling City.

He also took a stroll around. Having lived here for so long, Wang Yi hadn't really explored Lanling City much. He'd mostly stayed at school, home, and maybe a little bit of the hotel and martial arts training hall that Qi Xiaohao frequented.

After that, Wang Yi's life returned to normalcy.

The holiday passed quickly, and after the start of the new school year, Wang Yi finally entered his senior year of high school.

After delivering her usual speech at the freshman welcome party, Wang Yi's academic life began.

Fortunately, this was Wang Yi's last speech at the freshman welcome ceremony. Next year, Wang Yi will be entering university, and there will be no more speeches for him.

However, less than a month after the start of the semester, Wang Yi suddenly received a mission.

The mission did not come from the Night Watch or the Candlelight Army, but from Bai Yu.

Bai Yu wanted Wang Yi to be a teacher and to protect the students who went to Lingnan Shaqiao for training.

When Wang Yi first heard Bai Yu's request, he almost didn't react.

He's a student, yet he's protecting other students. Do you think that's reasonable?

Bai Yu was also helpless. With the turmoil of the Candlelight Army over, the training mission at Lingnan Shaqiao could begin again. Due to the good cooperation last time, and with the tacit approval of the Candlelight Army, the training could basically be established as a tradition, with a batch every year, and the number of participants had also been increased.

Of course, it's hard to say whether Bai Jingting or Wang Yi had more influence here.

There aren't many magic schools that have the capability to provide opportunities to experience the interdimensional portal during high school.

After careful consideration, Bai Jingting decided to only accept applications from students in their second and third years of high school for the training.

It's too dangerous for first-year high school students to go directly there. Not every freshman class has students of Wang Yi, Jiang Yue, and Wang Jiang's caliber.

Moreover, even these three almost didn't make it back safely, so the support force also needs to be increased.

Wang Yi objected to this, saying that it was really inappropriate for him to lead the team.

Bai Yu, however, felt that Wang Yi was fully capable of the task. Among mid-level mages, there were few whose strength surpassed Wang Yi's, and he had confidence in Wang Yi.

Moreover, Wang Yi only has one year left before graduation. If we don't push him a little harder, he won't have another chance.

While there are some intermediate-level mage instructors at Lanling Magic High School, none are stronger than Wang Yi. Moreover, Wang Yi is a healer and support, making him the perfect fit.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Bai Yu has already advanced to a high-level mage, and she can no longer enter Lingnan Sand Bridge.

Bai Yu naturally attached great importance to the training he had personally facilitated, and he couldn't afford any problems the second time.

Wang Yi's class was the first class Bai Yu taught, and probably the last class Bai Yu taught.

With the achievements of two kings and one emperor, plus the strength of a high-level mage, it would be inappropriate for Bai Yu not to be promoted.

Under Bai Yu's persistent pressure, Wang Yi had no choice but to agree to lead the team, taking his classmates and juniors to participate in the training.
