Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Under Chu Zhaoding's "coercion," Wang Yi's secret, which she had been suppressing in her heart, was ruthlessly and completely exposed.

Shock, fear, anxiety; anger, resentment, regret—a jumble of chaotic thoughts flooded Wang Yi's mind, almost bursting his brain.

The system is Wang Yi's foundation for survival, while the soul transmigration is the barrier that allows Wang Yi to integrate into the world.

This is Wang Yi's secret, but it is also his constraint, keeping him forever separated from everything in this world.

At this moment, after Chu Zhaoding bluntly exposed these two questions, it was as if a membrane had been pierced. Although it caused Wang Yi to experience a variety of chaotic emotions and lose his sense of security, it also gave Wang Yi a unique sense of ease for the first time.

It's a refreshing feeling after a complete release.

Qi Xiaohao, who was closest to him, didn't know about this. Wang Jiang, Jiang Yue, Hu Lili, and Bai Yu also didn't know.

They may not have noticed, or they may have noticed something, but for various reasons, they did not ask questions or raise any inquiries.

However, none of that matters anymore.

When Chu Zhaoding found out and made it clear, Wang Yi felt that everything he was currently using was about to go with him.

A tremendous sense of panic enveloped Wang Yi.

The greatest traitor in Chinese history, and the most talented mage of the past, was Lin Qingyu, whose will was distorted by mind invasion.

As a result, Lin Qingyu orchestrated the Battle of Liyuan, crippling the strength of the Chinese army.

With the lessons of the past laid bare, Wang Yi, an outsider, no longer wanted to think about what kind of investigation he would face or what his fate would be.

This is no ordinary world. The power that magic bestows upon humanity allows every powerful mage to become a source of chaos.

"Who exactly are you?"

Faced with Chu Zhaoding's question, Wang Yi did not argue, because it was pointless.

After a brief self-analysis, Wang Yi simply unleashed his last bit of strength and roared.

"I am Wang Yi!"

Yes, that's Wang Yi.

Whether they are outsiders or locals.

I am who I am, and I have a clear conscience about my actions.

If you are willing to accept me, I will be a pillar of China's future. If you are not willing to accept me, then... it doesn't matter if you treat me as a dangerous element.

Since everything we have gained originates from this world, returning it would be a futile endeavor.

After this, Wang Yi attained enlightenment and gained extraordinary insight.

Yes, Wang Yi is extraordinary.

Of course, he is definitely not a supernatural mage in the strict sense, because the level of magic power in Wang Yi's body is probably close to the middle stage, or even a little short of it.

However, at this moment, Wang Yi condensed a soul power that only extraordinary mages could possess.

And with this first burst of power, a small gap was created in Chu Zhaoding's control over Wang Yi's soul power.

If I'm not mistaken, Wang Yi is indeed extraordinary.

Extraordinary, yet not extraordinary; overall, it's not exactly extraordinary.

He's roughly at the peak of the early to late stage of the mid-level realm... a half-step into the extraordinary realm?

Wang Yi was panting heavily, and drops of sweat dripped from his forehead, pooling into puddles that stained the nosebleed on the floor.

Whether it was extraordinary or not, Wang Yi could no longer sense it.

At this moment, Wang Yi felt as if several high-powered electric concrete mixers had been inserted into his brain, powered by nuclear energy, and were grinding his already small brain into a pulp.

In a daze, Wang Yi seemed to sense Chu Zhaoding's hand on his head and heard Chu Zhaoding's indistinct words, which seemed to be something like "your", "brand new", or "world".

"So, the Marshal intends to crush my head, take my human crystal, and send me to a brand new world?"

"Alright, if there really is a next world, I hope I can be younger, preferably starting as a baby."

"I'm just sorry to Xiao Hao, he must be very sad. And Jiang Yue, he made such bold promises and set a goal of winning the championship, but he's going to break his word. Indeed, people should talk less nonsense."

"Then, farewell."

Pfft!

Wang Yi banged her head on the ground and fainted.

Chu Zhaoding was not surprised to see Wang Yi unconscious. He carefully examined Wang Yi and was relieved to find that she did not suffer any irreparable mental damage.

After all, Wang Yi's soul power was still some distance from the extraordinary. Forcibly activating it now, although it touched the boundary of the extraordinary, consumed too much energy, and could even be said to be a serious overdraft.

Moreover, Wang Yi's soul power clashed head-on with Chu Zhaoding's soul power.

Although Chu Zhaoding only used his soul power casually and did not use his full strength, and immediately withdrew the restraints after discovering Wang Yi's opposing soul power, Wang Yi's current soul power was clearly no match for Chu Zhaoding.

Therefore, this confrontation had a significant impact on Wang Yi's mind and consciousness.

Chu Zhaoding grabbed Wang Yi by the lower back and lifted him up. Wang Yi's belt and clothes immediately groaned under the strain.

Left with no other choice, Chu Zhaoding could only reach out and wrap his arm around Wang Yi's waist, as if he were embracing a large cat.

Wang Yi, weighing nearly 500 pounds, was handled by Chu Zhaoding like a woven bag, effortlessly and comfortably.

Upon opening the office door, Li Dianwei, who had been waiting outside, immediately turned around: "Marshal... ah?"

Upon seeing Wang Yi's expression, Li Dianwei was initially bewildered, then hurriedly explained, "Marshal, it was actually me who asked Wang Yi to persuade you. It was me who disagreed with your decision, not Wang Yi. That was his magic crystal, how could he..."

"Alright, I knew it was you right away," Chu Zhaoding said with a smile. "Wang Yi is fine, just a little mentally exhausted. Let him rest for a few days."

Seeing Chu Zhaoding's smile, Li Dianwei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know how Wang Yi had exhausted his energy, he was afraid that Wang Yi's opposition had angered the marshal, and that he would be punished by the marshal. Wouldn't that be purely due to being implicated by him?

Seeing this, Li Dianwei hurriedly reached out to take Wang Yi, but Chu Zhaoding waved his hand and refused: "Lead the way."

So Li Dianwei quickly led the way and found a private, empty rest room. Chu Zhaoding then placed Wang Yi on the bed and instructed Li Dianwei:

"He'll probably sleep for a few days. Don't let anyone disturb him during that time. When he wakes up, have him go to the Minshan Insect Bridge to deal with the egg case. The magic crystal is his."

"Yes!" Li Dianwei accepted the order.

After covering Wang Yi with a blanket, Chu Zhaoding turned and left. He didn't actually have that much time left, having already spent a lot of time on Wang Yi, and now he had a lot of military affairs piling up.

Fortunately, Wang Yi did not disappoint him; these past few days have been well worth the money.

Just before leaving, Chu Zhaoding stopped again and said to Li Dianwei earnestly:

"Dian Wei, following the rules isn't a bad thing, because only rules can bring stability. However, if you don't even have the courage to break the rules, you'll only be bound by them and eventually devoured by other wolves."

"Because they are the ones who are best at using, manipulating, and corrupting the rules."

"The purpose of rules is to protect; if they cannot protect, they are nothing but toilet paper."

"The underlying logic of this world is that whoever has the bigger fist is right. Even in China, the rules were established because those with the bigger fist now want stability."

"Therefore, we need to make our fist bigger so that we can maintain stability and protect more people."

"Focus on your extraordinary abilities; military affairs can be delegated to others. Remember what I taught you."

"Now I'm basically certain that the power of the soul is the key."
