Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

The corpse of the secondary life form transformed into a dragon in the fireflies.

Upon witnessing all this, Wang Yi's pupils dilated in shock, and she was filled with horror.

The emerald flames licked at the crimson dragon scales of the secondary life form. After a few seconds, the dragon scales finally gave way and burst open from the heat.

Then the fireflies crept into the body through the broken dragon scales, quickly turning the secondary life form's corpse into a handful of drifting black ash.

After all, a lesser life form only possesses the body of a divine-grade fire dragon. Without the more crucial Flame King to resist damage, even its defensive power after dragon transformation cannot withstand the burning of a legendary-grade firefly.

Ding ding ding...

The ashes of the corpses fluttered and scattered, and a few fragments of dragon scales fell to the ground with a crisp, melodious sound, yet it struck Wang Yi's heart like a heavy hammer.

"How could this be? I've already taken the human crystals from the lesser life form, so why is the Fiery Dragon Body still effective? Shouldn't magic only exist within human crystals?"

Wang Yi's mind went blank for a moment.

"That's right. Just like the jade bones of the Jade Tiger, even if the Jade Tiger is skinned, its tendons pulled out, its crystals removed, and its bones dismantled, its jade-colored tiger bones will not be affected in any way. That's why they are so highly regarded for making medicinal wine..."

"That's not right either. The passive magic of Jade Bone directly strengthens the physical body after absorption. Since the strengthening has already happened, it is naturally irreversible. However, the Fiery Dragon Body requires fire to activate. The question is, why would the passive magic still be activated after death, when only an empty shell of a corpse remains?"

"So, passive magic isn't really magic? But Hua Jing has a way of seeing the magic star map inside the magic crystal, right? Passive magic should also have a magic star map, right? Otherwise, how could I absorb it?"

"Could it be that the star map of passive magic actually exists within the physical body or soul?"

"No, no, that explanation doesn't make sense for Nirvana, a passive magic. I died once in the King of the Forensic Doctors' lightning domain. My flesh and blood turned to ashes, and my heart, which stored the seed of Nirvana, was definitely left with nothing. Yet I was reborn in the fire of Nirvana, which means the physical body isn't a vessel for passive magic... Besides, when a person dies, does the soul still exist?"

After a brief period of confusion, countless thoughts and questions flooded into Wang Yi's mind in an instant.

"So what exactly is passive magic? Where does it exist? And why does it work?"

"Now it seems that my understanding of magic is far too limited..."

"Slightly different, slightly different!"

Wang Yi only came to his senses after Xu Jun shouted.

"Was the change in the secondary life form just now caused by your transformation magic? But haven't I already absorbed all the human crystals?" Xu Jun was equally shocked.

In the less than an hour that evening, Wang Yi seemed to be constantly redefining his understanding.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

Xu Jun looked at Wang Yi, and a question couldn't help but arise in his heart: Between the two of us, who is the pinnacle of mages? Who is the forbidden mage?

If I remember correctly, it should be me, right? But why do I feel like I don't understand anything?

"Uncle Xu, this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this... To be honest, I have absolutely no idea what's going on here." Faced with Xu Jun's question, Wang Yi could only shake his head with a wry smile, unable to explain.

"If you don't know, you don't know. The age of magic is only a hundred years old. Humans are still in the nascent stage when it comes to this kind of novel power." Xu Jun comforted Wang Yi, saying, "Just like how the ancients didn't know the principles of fire at first, but that didn't stop them from using fire to scare away wild animals and cook food. Nowadays, we just use magic as long as we can."

"Uncle Xu, isn't this ancient person you're talking about a bit too ancient?" Wang Yi sighed. This feeling of not knowing the reason behind something was really annoying.

"Ancient? What essential difference is there between us facing magic now and the ancients facing fire?" Xu Jun patted Wang Yi on the shoulder and then waved gently.

The ashes and dragon scales of the secondary life form floated up and gathered in Xu Jun's palm.

The next moment, a compressed version of the Phoenix Flame Domain appeared in Xu Jun's hand, enveloping the embers and completely turning them into nothingness without a trace.

"Don't overthink it. You're Owl 11 of the Night Watch, not some researcher. Being able to use magic well is enough," Xu Jun said, offering a word of comfort tinged with his own agenda, before continuing seemingly casually:

"Get some rest. Oh, by the way, speaking of codenames, now that you've become a high-level mage, you can change your codename back to a two-letter one. But I suggest you don't bother thinking about this little thing. Anyway, in four or five years, you can just use 'Owl'."

After saying that, before Wang Yi could react, Xu Jun waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Upon release, Xu Jun's figure instantly disappeared from Wang Yi's underground training room and returned directly to his bedroom in Qi Xiaohao's house.

To release a jump below the level of the extraordinary, one needs to lock onto the target within a visible range using their gaze. However, the extraordinary can simply release their soul power to freely select the jump location.

Of course, this location also needs to be within the jump distance range.

Normally, the maximum distance for a leap in divine grade is one hundred meters. However, after being enhanced by the magic of an extraordinary mage, the distance will definitely increase considerably.

"Great magic, so convenient! No wonder everyone envies space mages."

Inside the bedroom, with no one around, Xu Jun couldn't help but grin and burst into silent laughter.

"Good apprentice, he will definitely become the strongest 'Owl,' and no one can take him away from him!"

At this time, Chen Guang, who was on a mission somewhere, was unaware that the successor he was grooming already intended to take over ahead of schedule.

He went from being an apprentice to a junior apprentice; where can you even begin to explain this?
