Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Wang Yi's eyelids trembled, and he opened them a crack, seeing a blurry but unfamiliar ceiling.

"Hiss... Where am I?" Wang Yi stretched out his hands and pressed hard on his temples, kneading them repeatedly, trying to make his mind clearer.

"A brand new... world?" And with Chu Zhaoding's voice still faintly lingering in his ears, Wang Yi suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

"Am I still alive?" Wang Yi raised his hands in front of his eyes, looked at them repeatedly, and then carefully sensed his current body.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yi sensed something different.

"My body...it's so clear! And my magic too!"

Wang Yi felt that he could now clearly perceive every part of his body, easily and precisely mobilize every muscle fiber, and the flow of magic around him was clearer than ever before.

Snapped!

Wang Yi tried throwing a punch, feeling the muscles in his body contract perfectly, bringing unparalleled power that tore through the air, producing a slight popping sound in front of his fist.

Boom!

The bed frame beneath him couldn't withstand the force of the recoil and cracked, throwing Wang Yi to the ground.

However, Wang Yi couldn't care less about any of that. He nimbly stood up, stepped onto the open ground beside the bed, and savored his own body.

"Power... no, my power hasn't increased, it's just that my body is more at my own disposal."

Wang Yi stood barefoot on the ground, exerted his strength from the ground, and suddenly threw a jab, which finally stopped twenty centimeters in front of the door.

boom!

Before the air in front of the fist could dissipate, it was compressed and propelled at high speed, then slammed into the iron gate, producing a clear and loud impact sound.

"Is this the force of the punch?"

Wang Yi stepped forward to examine it closely and found that the iron gate only made a sound but did not deform at all.

"It's much less powerful than my direct punch, but that just means my strength isn't enough." Wang Yi wasn't disappointed. After all, he couldn't even do this before, which meant that Wang Yi's skills had improved to a higher level, and he could amplify the same amount of power many times over.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Wang Yi immediately opened the illusory realm, took out a pair of slender wooden chopsticks and a magic crystal, then threw the magic crystal into the air, and then, as it fell, seized the opportunity to directly use the wooden chopsticks to pick up the magic crystal.

The wooden chopsticks did not break, and the magic crystal did not fall.

The movements were very casual, yet precise and stable, with just the right amount of force.

"A perfect balance, effortless mastery." Wang Yi laughed heartily, "It's done! I've done it!"

Coo coo coo...

Just then, a rumbling sound came from Wang Yi's stomach, and he realized he was feeling hungry.

"The human body is flawed. Why can't mages survive by consuming demonic energy? Oh, and neither can magical beasts."

Wang Yi smacked his lips, casually tossed the magic crystal and chopsticks into the virtual world, then pulled out a bunch of high-energy compressed food and purified water, and sat cross-legged to start showing off his food.

When Wang Yiqian was halfway through his meal, he heard hurried footsteps.

With a loud bang, the door was pushed open forcefully, and Wang Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Dianwei's face.

"You're finally awake." Li Dianwei visibly breathed a sigh of relief. He had just heard a report that there was movement coming from Wang Yi's room, so he rushed over.

"Major General Li, how long have I been asleep?" Wang Yi asked indistinctly as he stuffed food into his mouth, a sigh of relief in his heart.

When she woke up, there was no magic interference device on her body, and she also saw Li Dianwei. Wang Yi finally realized that she had not been imprisoned.

Li Dianwei raised his hand and glanced at his watch: "Six days and thirteen hours."

"So long?" Wang Yi was very surprised; he had never slept for so long before.

"Yes, I even suspected you would starve to death." Li Dianwei laughed as well. "If your vital signs hadn't remained stable, I would have already intubated you and fed you liquid food."

"No wonder I'm so hungry." Wang Yi gulped down two bottles of water and patted his belly with satisfaction.

"The Marshal said that once you wake up, you should retrieve the magic crystal from the queen bee's egg case yourself." Upon seeing Wang Yi awake, Li Dianwei relayed Chu Zhaoding's order:

"This egg case has not hatched after a year. It has been half-dead ever since. If we don't send people to use medical magic to save it from time to time, I would suspect that it might die inside. It's good that you take it. This way, the Minshan Insect Bridge can continue to function normally."

"Queen Bee Egg Sheath?" Wang Yi was somewhat surprised. Was this precious magic crystal still meant for him? The Marshal knew his identity; did he really not care at all?

"Yes, how are you feeling? Are you sure you can manage? Although the queen bee's egg case hasn't shown any unusual signs in the past year, no one knows if it's just pretending. After all, mental-type magical beasts are quite intelligent, even if it's just an unborn egg." Li Dianwei asked.

Wang Yi felt his body and mind, then smiled and said, "I feel... better than ever before!"

"That's good. I'll go arrange the queen bee egg case for you." Li Dianwei nodded, then left, closing the door behind him.

Suddenly, the door that had just been closed opened again, and Li Dianwei leaned out once more, reaching into his robes: "I almost forgot, the Marshal left you a letter."

Li Dianwei took out an ordinary white envelope and handed it to Wang Yi.

"What did the Marshal say?" Wang Yi asked, somewhat puzzled, as he took the envelope.

"How would I know? I wouldn't dare peek. You go ahead and look. I'll wait for you at the Star Gate." Li Dianwei closed the door again.

Wang Yi tore open the envelope, took out the letter, and unfolded it. The letter was written in strong, vigorous handwriting:

"Wang Yi, your soul power has barely reached the baseline of a transcendent mage. In a sense, you can be considered half a transcendent."

"The difference between you and a newly promoted extraordinary mage is that you have too little magic power in your body and lack legendary and epic-grade magic."

The first two sentences made Wang Yi's pupils tremble slightly.

No wonder Wang Yi felt the world had never been so clear; so this was the world seen through the eyes of an extraordinary being?

"You need to familiarize yourself with the power of your soul. Once you can use it freely, it will not only enhance the power of your magic, but also accelerate the accumulation of magic power within your body. According to my calculations, it will take you about five to ten years for the magic power within your body to reach the critical point of transcendence. The exact time depends on how well you utilize the power of your soul."

"As long as my prediction is correct, you will not encounter the slightest obstacle in entering the extraordinary realm, unlike many high-level mages who are stuck for many years."

"Kong Jing's assets are now mine, consider it payment for helping you. These two deans should be replaced too; people always have to pay the price for their choices."

"I'll leave the path of the forbidden mage to you for now. I'll go and see if you transcend the ordinary first, or if I become forbidden first."

Finally, don't get hung up on your identity. Our world is vast, and your actions are enough to prove who you are.

"As long as I'm here, you can live life to the fullest and be bold."

Wang Yi held the letter in his hand, remaining silent for a long time.

pat.

Wang Yi carefully put away the letter, held her head high, opened the door, and walked out.

It was so bright outside that Wang Yi's eyes welled up with tears.

Now, he's going to take back the magic crystal that belongs to him.
