Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Wang Yi briefly recounted to Xu Jun how he became a half-step extraordinary being, including how he rebounded from rock bottom under Marshal Chu Zhaoding's mental pressure, his soul power transformed, and he even touched the benchmark of an extraordinary mage.

Wang Yi did not deliberately hide Chu Zhaoding's mention of the doubts about his identity. From the moment Chu Zhaoding accepted him, Wang Yi had actually let go of all his psychological burden.

He no longer dwelled on his original identity; he only wanted to be himself.

However, Wang Yi still felt somewhat guilty when facing Uncle Xu.

Wang Yi understood that the reason the marshal could accept his identity so easily was because the marshal and his original self had no emotional entanglement.

Uncle Xu, however, was different.

After all, Xu Jun had watched the original owner grow up and had secretly taken care of her many times. Xiao Hao was the original owner's childhood friend, and his care for her was endless.

Only when facing these two people did Wang Yi feel guilty, even though it wasn't his intention to take over the original owner's identity.

However, Wang Yi also had more trust in Uncle Xu.

Even if Uncle Xu doesn't accept him, at least it won't pose any threat to his safety.

"Can I see Commander Chu's letter?" Xu Jun asked.

Wang Yi lightly touched the watch, opened the illusory realm, and took out Chu Zhaoding's letter.

Xu Jun took the letter and read it word by word.

"Actually, I noticed your suspicious behavior a long time ago. After all, you've become so much more determined than before." Xu Jun handed the letter to Wang Yi. "Although I initially thought it was a 'prodigal son returning home,' I later felt that your change of heart was a bit too extreme. Even if you twisted your head off, it wouldn't have reached this point."

Wang Yi placed the letter into the illusory realm and remained silent.

Sure enough, even Marshal Chu could make inferences based on information and biography, let alone people around him.

So, does that mean Xiao Hao also...?

But why didn't Xiao Hao show any reaction?

Looking at Wang Yi, who was slightly bowing his head and remaining silent, Xu Jun continued with his admiration: "It's as if you've discarded all of Xiao Yi's shortcomings and amplified all her strengths... No, you even possess the strengths that Xiao Yi doesn't have."

"But you're wrong about one thing, Xiao Yi." Xu Jun put his hand on Wang Yi's shoulder, straightening his slightly hunched body as he shrank back. "The first person to accept you wasn't Chu Shuai, but Xiao Hao. Even I would have to wait for Xiao Hao."

"Let's go home." Xu Jun walked ahead, with Wang Yi following closely behind.

"You are Xiao Yi's second personality, but now it's your turn to control this body, and there's not much difference between you and the original."

"And to be selfish, I actually prefer the excellent you now to the unruly you of the past."

Xu Jun, who was walking ahead, had a slight smile on his lips. Since they had already brought this up, he might as well say a little more: "You think you really chose the code name 'Xiao 11' yourself? I specifically instructed Xiao Guang to leave it for you."

Wang Yi suddenly looked up. Although he had long suspected that Uncle Xu was a high-ranking member of the Night Watch, this statement was now an open secret.

And judging from what Uncle Xu said, could he be the holder of the code name 'Owl'?

"Your advancement to the Transcendent realm will be very quick, at the latest within ten years, which means you'll be twenty-eight years old." Xu Jun thought for two seconds: "What was the youngest Transcendent mage to advance to the Transcendent realm these days? Oh, right, thirty-six."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will break this record directly and elevate it to an unbelievable level. And ten years is the slowest you can go. Next, I will guide you in the use of your soul power to try to elevate the record to a point that will leave everyone in despair."

Xu Jun laughed as he spoke: "A 23-year-old extraordinary? Who wouldn't be confused by that! It just feels a bit unfair to Xiao Guang. Perhaps he hasn't even had a chance to get the code name 'Owl' for two years, or even until now, before it changes hands."

"Actually, it would be better to give the code name to Brother Chen. I'm too young and probably can't shoulder such a big responsibility," Wang Yi, who was following behind Xu Jun, finally spoke up.

"By then, you should have graduated from university and have plenty of time to do a good job as 'Owl'. After Xiao Guang becomes extraordinary, he will also have other things to do. Actually, our mission as 'Owl' is the simplest, nothing more than killing people," Xu Jun said nonchalantly.

"Uncle Xu." Now that things were out in the open, Wang Yi wanted to ask more clearly: "What were your reasons for retiring in the first place?"

Even a supernatural mage in the military is only in his prime when he is over sixty, let alone Xu Jun, who was in his fifties when he retired.

The mage's physical body will be strengthened, vitality will be vigorous, and although it is uncertain whether lifespan will be increased, it is easy to reach the limit.

Moreover, with a medical mage present, there's little problem for an extraordinary mage to live smoothly to the age of 120. So, being in his sixties can be considered the prime of life for an extraordinary mage.

What could possibly have caused a highly skilled sorcerer to retire from the limelight and settle down to work as a driver for Qi Xiaohao's family?

"Retirement... because I got promoted." Xu Jun sighed.

Wang Yi stumbled and almost tripped.

A transcendent mage? Continue advancing?

"Uncle Xu, you mean... a forbidden mage?" Wang Yi asked tentatively, his cautiousness mixed with a hint of disbelief.

Xu Jun nodded: "You can understand it that way. After that battle, I vaguely found a forbidden direction. At that time, I dealt a heavy blow to those foreign forces, and the situation was temporarily stable. So I took the opportunity to retire and try to advance on the forbidden path, while also taking care of Xiao Hao."

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Hao's grandparents were also members of the Night Watch, my colleagues. They sacrificed their lives in that battle, codenamed 'Dragon' and 'Rabbit.' However, the Night Watch's identity is kept secret, so not only Xiao Hao doesn't know, but Yunzhi and Wanwan also don't know, since they're not part of the military."

"I have limited talent, and it took me more than ten years to finally achieve something and barely embark on the path of a forbidden mage."

Xu Jun's casual words shocked Wang Yi quite a bit.

Xu Shu's identity as a forbidden mage was completely unexpected by Wang Yi, who had always thought that Xu Shu was just an extraordinary mage.

Another point is the identity of Qi Xiaohao's grandparents. Although it had been speculated before, it has now been confirmed, and Wang Yi couldn't help but marvel at how well his brother had concealed his identity.

My grandparents were high-ranking members of the Night Watch and were both extraordinary. My maternal grandparents were extremely wealthy businessmen. Although I don't know exactly what my parents' professions are, they are obviously not low-ranking either.

There was also an elder who cherished old friendships, and was even the elder of a forbidden sorcerer, who quietly served as the family's driver for ten years.

With this kind of treatment, even in the capital, Qi Xiaohao would be treated like a prince and treated like royalty.

Someone like Xiao Kunze, after slapping his left cheek today, he won't even have to wait until tomorrow; the next second he'll have to obediently offer his right cheek for Xiao Hao to slap again!

Smoke until you're satisfied!

Even wish-fulfillment novels probably wouldn't dare write it like this, because life really doesn't have many ups and downs.

However, Qi Xiaohao's first half of life was just being an ordinary rich young master in Lanling City. When he was a child, he even got into fights with other kids. It was a complete waste of his life.

Looking back now, Qi Xiaohao's arrogant behavior in the past seems so approachable.
