Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Wang Yi stared at the secondary life form still standing in the body and fell silent for a moment.

"Xiao Yi, what are you doing..." After a few seconds, Xu Jun carefully asked, "Have you thought about testing just how far secondary life forms can obey orders?"

"No, that's not it." Wang Yi took two steps forward, deliberately circled behind the secondary life form, and released a sharpness with two fingers, then precisely inserted it into the back of its head, pulling out a human crystal.

Looking at the perfectly round bead between his two fingers, Wang Yi used his water-drawing technique to wash away the red and white substances on it, then asked, "Uncle Xu, the magic in human crystals is actually easier to absorb compared to magic crystals, right?"

Xu Jun pointed out, "There is indeed such a claim, but it has been officially debunked. However... Hua Jing secretly conducted a verification and found that human mages do absorb magic more easily from human crystals. But considering the need to maintain stability, the consequences of confirming this would be immeasurable, so they debunked it."

Wang Yi understood that if this were indeed confirmed, then the value of human crystals, after rigorous selection, would be far greater than that of magic crystals. This would lead some unscrupulous people to set their sights on fellow mages.

Having completely confirmed this, Wang Yi held the secondary life form's human crystal in his hand, then walked to Uncle Xu's side, opened his palm, and slowly said, "Uncle Xu, actually, this also belongs to the category of human crystal, right?"

Xu Jun finally understood Wang Yi's meaning. He was startled, but also enlightened, and his heart filled with excitement: "The magic of the lesser life forms all originated from you?"

Wang Yi nodded: "In a way that I don't quite understand, they directly copied the magic I possessed to the lesser life form."

After receiving confirmation from Wang Yi, Xu Jun immediately understood the true value of this magic.

If the secondary life form contains Wang Yi's magic, then perhaps it can reduce the difficulty of absorbing spatial, mental, and even bloodline magic by a whole level.

It should be noted that, apart from not having absorbed any offensive magic, Wang Yi was adept at using other types of magic.

Xu Jun had just witnessed Wang Yi absorbing the magic crystal with his own eyes, which showed just how unreasonable he was.

However, after a moment of excitement, Xu Jun quickly calmed down.

After all, Wang Yi couldn't possibly create a million heavenly soldiers in four years, and he couldn't reduce the difficulty of absorbing magic for all his mage friends.

"Uncle Xu, why don't you... try absorbing it?" Wang Yi handed the human crystal in his hand to Xu Jun and asked tentatively.

"I'd be more than happy to be your guinea pig." Xu Jun chuckled as he accepted the human crystal, then asked, "Although you don't care much about these things after you become extraordinary, I'm still a mage capable of both support and attack magic. I just saw that the lesser life form possesses spatial teleportation, the healing life-giving spell, and your unique transformation magic, all of which I don't have. Besides these, what other magic do you have?"

"Secondary life forms have a limited number of spells they can possess, so there aren't many. You'll know once you try absorbing them," Wang Yi said without elaborating further.

Wang Yi guessed that apart from Leap and Life's Cry, which Xu Jun might have a chance to absorb, the other two spells of the secondary life form, Son of the Queen Bee and Body of the Flame Dragon, were passive spells. Even if they existed in the human crystal, Xu Jun probably wouldn't be able to absorb them.

Xu Jun took the secondary life crystal from Wang Yi, then took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, calming himself down and focusing his attention.

After a short time, the crystal in Xu Jun's hand lost its luster.

Wang Yi looked at Xu Jun with a hint of curiosity, only to see Xu Jun say somewhat awkwardly, "I haven't absorbed magic crystals for more than ten years, so I seem to be a little out of practice."

Wang Yi immediately realized that Xu Jun had not absorbed any magic.

This result wasn't too surprising. After all, given Xu Jun's strength and status, he certainly wouldn't lack magic crystals. He'd probably absorbed all the magic he could have had the chance to absorb.

Xu Jun must have tried quite a few rare magic crystals, even those of the spatial and mental types.

Since Xu Jun doesn't possess these spells, it means he's not particularly suited to them.

But this is precisely Wang Yi's purpose; isn't that the meaning of the Human Crystal?

"Uncle Xu, there are plenty of opportunities. Let's keep trying."

After speaking, Wang Yi rapidly restored the magic power in his body through his soul power, and then released four Lesser Life forms in succession. When he tried to release the fifth one, he could no longer use magic.

It seems that a maximum of four secondary life forms can exist at the same time, which is quite a limitation.

Of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers, only four survived, and they perished before completing their mission.

Wang Yi's face was somewhat pale. Including the secondary life form from the first experiment, Wang Yi had already released it five times, and half of the life force in his body had been consumed.

Although only half of his life force remained, it was still astonishing. But losing half of his life force was like an ordinary person losing half their life. The intense weakness made Wang Yi feel extremely uncomfortable, as if his body had been hollowed out.

Fortunately, healing mages have a convenient way to replenish life force, and the Life Cry spell, which directly replenishes life force, is practically tailor-made for Wang Yi.

The legendary-grade Cry of Life was released, and a vast amount of life force surged into Wang Yi's body, and then... it all emerged intact.

"What's going on?" Wang Yi was startled.

In the past, when Wang Yi was condensing the Seed of Nirvana, the life force he consumed could be replenished with the Cry of Life. Why can't it be done now?

Moreover, not only did Sheng Zhiming fail to restore Wang Yi's vitality, it also failed to heal the wound in Wang Yi's chest that had just been pierced by the secondary life form.

However, with Wang Yi's current control over his body, even if there is a wound, he can precisely control the muscles to tighten, preventing blood from flowing out. Not to mention, he can also use his soul power to help stop the bleeding.

However, although the bleeding had been stopped, the wound was still there. At this moment, Wang Yi discovered that his wound showed no signs of healing at all.

"My Life's Cry has failed? There are counterfeit spells too?" Wang Yi, confused and looking rather grim, switched to another spell: Light of Resurrection.

The Light of Resurrection is primarily a magic for healing injuries. In fact, all medical magic carries some degree of vitality, but it is quite rare to find magic like the Cry of Life that relies purely on vitality to heal injuries.

The next moment, fluorescent light emanated from the wound on Wang Yi's chest. This light moved in and out of the wound, but it had no healing effect whatsoever.

"Even the Light of Resurrection has no healing effect?" Wang Yi's expression turned even more grim. He then decisively tore open the illusory realm, took out a white clay biscuit, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it whole.

The magic power within his body has recovered slightly, but his vitality has not increased.

"Eating earth to resurrect and restore magic power is still effective, but restoring life force is ineffective, and the use of other magic is unrestricted..."

Wang Yi gradually sorted out his thoughts and remembered the last paragraph in the description of the secondary life form:

"After creating a secondary life form, the individual enters a period of weakness..."

So this is what they call a period of weakness.
