Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Stepping out of the Star Gate, Wang Yi appeared in the Minshan Military Region and bumped into Li Dianwei, who was pacing back and forth.

"Why did it take so long? It's been almost two hours." Li Dianwei asked anxiously when he saw Wang Yi come out safely.

After all, Li Dianwei knew Wang Yi's exact strength. Even if the Queen of Thought Bees hatched, Wang Yi could take care of it in less than half an hour.

"The Queen Bee has hatched," Wang Yi explained.

Li Dianwei nodded, not surprised, and then waited for Wang Yi to continue.

But after a few seconds, Wang Yi showed no sign of continuing, so Li Dianwei glared at him and asked, "That's it?"

"It's over."

"No, how many queen bees hatched?"

"One."

Li Dianwei's voice rose eight octaves: "You've been taking this long for just one?"

Wang Yi lowered his head in embarrassment: "I accidentally caused the mountain to collapse."

"What mountain?" Li Dianwei asked curiously.

"That's the mountain where the queen bee's egg cases are stored."

Li Dianwei recalled the base data of the Minshan Insect Bridge, which included detailed survey data of several mountains near the base. He then slowly widened his eyes, pointed at Wang Yi, and his arm trembled slightly: "Did you install small tactical nuclear bombs in your virtual world?"

"No, tactical nuclear weapons are practically useless in the interdimensional portal!"

"You've become extraordinary?"

"No, if you were extraordinary, how could you possibly enter the Minshan Insect Bridge?"

Li Dianwei was questioning himself, almost in a state of confusion.

Not to mention Li Dianwei, even the instigator Wang Yi himself still finds it hard to imagine, since this is completely different from dragon transformation.

Even with her enhanced physical strength after transforming into a dragon, Wang Yi still couldn't dismantle a mountain with her bare hands.

Not at least not now.

However, the matter of being half a step beyond the extraordinary cannot be revealed casually. Helpless, Wang Yi had no choice but to use Chu Zhaoding's name as a shield.

"The marshal knows the specifics, but he said it must be kept secret."

Hearing Wang Yi's words, Li Dianwei indeed stopped asking questions and instead said cautiously, "Then tell me, what caused the mountain to collapse? Once your men go in and see for themselves, they should at least give an explanation, right?"

"An earthquake." Wang Yi offered an excuse at the right time: "I encountered an earthquake while I was clearing out monsters... or, what situation do you think I should have encountered?"

Li Dianwei was speechless. If I could guess it, would I need to ask you?

"Alright, then it's an earthquake."

As for whether there was an earthquake inside the passage between the two worlds, and why the earthquake only affected that one mountain, and why the Minshan base, which was not far away, remained intact... it's not important.

After explaining these matters to Li Dianwei, Wang Yi prepared to return.

On this trip, Wang Yi met with the Marshal, obtained the magic crystal of the Queen of Thought Bee, and also advanced to the half-step extraordinary level, which can be considered a very fruitful trip.

After saying goodbye to Li Dianwei, Wang Yi took a plane and flew directly from the Minshan Military Region to Lanling City.

I took a nap on the plane and regained my energy. By the time the plane landed at the military airport in Lanling City, it was already getting late.

He took a taxi home. Along the way, Wang Yi sat in the back seat of the taxi with his eyes closed, but his soul power was constantly being released.

The bustling traffic, the varied expressions of the passengers, the casual conversations of passersby, the smoke rising from the roadside restaurants, the stray cats and dogs fighting over food, and even the leaping grasshoppers, the scurrying ants, and the rustling of leaves in the green belt—all these images were vividly etched into Wang Yi's mind.

Huh? Which couple started this as soon as it got dark?

Standing by the window, shameless!

Wang Yi slightly restrained his soul power and went around it.

To be honest, Wang Yi is starting to like this feeling.

Soul power and magic are completely different. Wang Yi doesn't need to release magic, doesn't need to report in advance, and won't trigger the magic detection network. He only needs to spread out his soul power to perceive every movement within the range.

This perception and control over all information around us is truly mesmerizing.

As the taxi approached Wang Yi's home, in Wang Yi's soul perception, in his living room, Teacher Da Yu and Teacher Xiao Yu were eating takeout, Qi Xiaohao was practicing magic in the basement training room, and two nannies were busy cleaning up the table after the meal.

And standing by the balcony is a black hole about two meters long...?

The moment Wang Yi sensed the black hole, his soul power was torn apart, and then a pitch-black, aimless owl rushed into his mind, flapping its wings and crying out.

Wang Yi suddenly opened his reddened eyes, let out a muffled groan, and abruptly raised his hand to cover his eyes, mouth, and nose, mumbling, "Uncle Xu!"

The owl froze for a moment, then vanished. Blood seeped from between Wang Yi's fingers, dripping onto his legs.

"Brother Wang? What did you say? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" The driver heard Wang Yi's shout, saw Wang Yi's blurry figure in the rearview mirror, and saw him covering his face. He hurriedly asked with concern.

"Cough cough, it's nothing, Master. I just had a nightmare while I was sleeping. Just stop at the intersection ahead." Wang Yi coughed twice, enduring the pain of his soul being torn apart, and quietly wiped the blood from the corners of his eyes and under his nose with his sleeve.

After the driver stopped the car, Wang Yi immediately opened the door and staggered towards Qi Xiaohao's house.

Halfway there, the streetlights ahead suddenly went out one by one, and then Xu Jun's figure quietly appeared in the darkness under the streetlights.

"Uncle Xu," Wang Yi greeted him, slowly approaching.

"A minor anomaly?" Xu Jun frowned slightly, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"It's me, Uncle Xu." Wang Yi shook his head vigorously, and after clearing his mind a little, he stood in front of Xu Jun.

"You..." Xu Jun's tone was clearly surprised: "Are you really that extraordinary being who was spying?"

"I was just using my soul power to sense my surroundings." Wang Yi smiled wryly; he hadn't expected it to directly trigger Xu Jun's counterattack.

Moreover, why does Uncle Xu appear as a black hole in his soul perception?

Wang Yi recalled that when he used his life sense to perceive life, he couldn't sense Xu Shu's life fire at all. Could it be because of this black hole?

"Using soul power to spy on other extraordinary mages is a very unfriendly act, almost equivalent to launching an attack," Xu Jun explained. "I suddenly sensed a soul power I had never seen before, and I thought an extraordinary enemy was attacking, so I instinctively retaliated."

"Uncle Xu, I... I really don't know." Wang Yi shook his head. The marshal hadn't mentioned any of this.

Wang Yi was then relieved that he had touched Uncle Xu; if it had been any other extraordinary mage, things would have been much worse.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Xu Jun stepped forward, reached out and touched Wang Yi's forehead to help Wang Yi calm down the restless soul power caused by his injury.

He then discreetly checked and confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed Wang Yi, and that he was in good mental and spiritual condition with a pure soul.

Once Wang Yi felt a little better, Xu Jun finally asked, "What exactly is wrong with you...?"
