Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, Wang Jiang suddenly realized that the surrounding magic power had become so weak that it was imperceptible.

Jiang Yue and Wang Jiang exchanged a glance, then immediately turned and rushed towards the door of the training room, each taking out a few magic crystals to replenish the magic power they had consumed.

"A magic-forbidden domain?" the king asked silently.

Jiang Yue, having read the king's lip movements, shook his head to indicate that it wasn't true.

The two approached the door with a hint of caution. Wang Jiang assumed a defensive stance, gripped his halberd, and very slowly pushed the door of the training room open a crack. Through the crack, they saw Wang Yi standing at the door of a small training room, his brows slightly furrowed.

Okay, now we basically know who the culprit is.

Wang Jiang opened the gate completely, then, carrying a long halberd, came to Wang Yi's side with Jiang Yue.

Trying to sense the flow of the sparse magical energy around him, Jiang Yue followed the open door of the small cultivation room and saw Qi Xiaohao and Hu Lili meditating cross-legged.

"Did you...do this?" Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow, desperately trying to hide his shock, and asked Wang Yi as if it were nothing.

Wang Jiang might not be entirely clear about the current situation, but Jiang Yue had already deduced most of it in his mind.

Using the rich magical environment to help Qi Xiaohao and Hu Lili advance their cultivation is not unusual; it's even a common choice for many mages who are at a bottleneck.

However, actively creating such an environment is quite remarkable, since this ability is unique to extraordinary mages.

If Jiang Yue could barely accept that Wang Yi had become a high-level mage without making a sound, then the fact that Wang Yi had now become a transcendent mage was enough to drive Jiang Yue crazy.

A high-level mage at nineteen is already beyond imagination; a transcendent mage at nineteen—I doubt any mage in the world could accept that.

"Of course..." Wang Yi turned to look at Jiang Yue, then drew out the last syllable: "It wasn't me."

Jiang Yue felt a sense of relief for no apparent reason.

It wasn't that Jiang Yue was afraid his brother would drive a Land Rover, but if Wang Yi really was a transcendent mage, Jiang Yue would feel like he was playing house with Wang Yi.

High-level mages are already the top combat force in the Magic High School World League, but as for extraordinary mages... what's the point of even competing?

All you have to do is stand there, and the individual and team championships will be awarded to you. I'm sure none of the participating teams from other countries will be dissatisfied.

Unless the participants don't want to breathe anymore.

After all, it's not like people haven't died on the field of the Magic High School World League.

If the extraordinary mage isn't Wang Yi, then...

Jiang Yue's mind raced through the people living in the villa, and he quickly locked his attention on Xu Jun.

Sure enough, this elder, who was called a driver, was quite extraordinary.

In fact, Wang Yi didn't want to make such a big fuss, but he underestimated the difficulty for Qi Xiaohao and Hu Lili to break through the bottleneck.

There was no way around it; Wang Yi's two advancements from the initial to the advanced level were both smooth sailing, without any hiccups, so he really didn't have much experience in this area.

Wang Yi was now in a bit of a panic. Within the range of his soul power, he had basically gathered all the magic power within a two-thousand-meter radius.

The magic power in the mortal world is not as vast as that in the passage between the two worlds. Although the magic power two thousand meters away is also flowing towards the empty center, the speed is much slower.

"This is ridiculous."

Xu Jun, who had been observing, also noticed this. So, the magic power from further away began to accelerate and surge into the range of Wang Yi's soul power.

Since we've already started, let's go all out.

As for the commotion caused, it's not a big problem.

Although Beijiang City has a top-notch magic university, it doesn't even have a single extraordinary mage.

Most mages are not very sensitive to the flow of magic power, so people like Wang Jiang and Jiang Yue are already considered to have extraordinary talent.

Besides, even if we could sense it, so what?

The magic in the environment is unclaimed; how can anyone control the heavens and the earth and dictate where the magic flows?

Sensing a new wave of magic power suddenly rushing into the range of his soul power, Wang Yi was startled and instantly realized that it was Uncle Xu who had made his move.

So he hurriedly took over the magic and continued to send it around Qi Xiaohao and Hu Lili.

With Xu Jun's help, efficiency increased significantly.

At this moment, the concentration of magic power around Qi Xiaohao and Hu Lili has exceeded that of Zhenyuan and Xunyuan.

Ten seconds later, Qi Xiaohao and Hu Lili opened their eyes almost simultaneously, their excitement evident on their faces.

Intermediate-level mage, achieved!

At this point, all five members of the small group had shed their status as novice mages and gone further down the path of magic.

After his soul power swept over the two of them and confirmed that they had indeed advanced smoothly, Wang Yi carefully spread the magic power surrounding them back outwards, striving for even distribution.

When a novice mage advances to an intermediate mage, he doesn't absorb much magic power. The surrounding magic power is all "borrowed" by Wang Yi to increase its concentration, so the actual consumption is very small.

As the saying goes, "If you borrow and repay easily, it's not difficult to borrow again." Once the matter is settled, the finishing touches should always be done well.

Otherwise, if so much magic suddenly lost control and flowed violently into the already scarce environment, it would be enough to create a considerable storm.

For a specific example, you can refer to the Starry Gate connecting the two worlds and the magical world, where magic power surges all day long, forming roaring tornadoes and generating thunderclouds and lightning.

"Brother Yi!"

Qi Xiaohao and Hu Lili rushed over excitedly, but Wang Yi picked them up one by one.

"Now that you've been promoted, take a good rest... Never mind, you guys definitely won't be able to sleep tonight anyway, so calm down and then go absorb some magic crystals."

As someone who had been through it all, Wang Yi naturally knew what the first thing to do after being promoted was.

So Wang Yi put the two down and told them to go and get the prepared magic crystals.

Once the two had taken the elevator upstairs, Wang Yi asked Jiang Yue and Wang Jiang, "So, who won the sparring match?"

While gathering his magic power, Wang Yi also took the opportunity to observe the battle between Wang Jiang and Jiang Yue, but it was inconvenient to say so directly.

Wang Jiang, carrying his Moyun halberd, said rather domineeringly, "You're asking unnecessary questions. When has he ever won?"

Jiang Yue rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

Wang Yi laughed and looked at the Ink Cloud Halberd on Wang Jiang's shoulder, saying, "I'll get you some more magic crystals later. Without the Void Realm, the Ink Cloud Halberd is really hard to carry."

"No need." The king shook his head slightly. "My current magic is enough for me. The Void Realm isn't that important to me."

Wang Jiang was really embarrassed to ask Wang Yi for more magic crystals. The magic he had just absorbed was something he had never dared to dream of before.

Although Wang Jiang had previously taught Wang Yi combat skills and wholeheartedly helped her improve her strength, and even provided her with sharp magic, compared to the value of Wang Yi's current return, it was completely insignificant.

"Don't worry about us. If you still have that kind of stock, use it on Xiao Hao and Lili. They've just become intermediate-level mages, and they're currently in a phase where their strength is rapidly increasing." Jiang Yue also declined Wang Yi's offer.

Although it's unknown how Wang Yi obtained the human crystal, judging from the magic it absorbed, it is undoubtedly extremely precious.

Even Jiang Yue had a vague feeling that the magic in this human crystal seemed to be specifically designed to compensate for their own shortcomings.

But where would so many mages absorb magic only to benefit others, instead of being medicine people and cauldrons in novels?

Moreover, given the rarity of these spells, the owner of the human crystal must be considered a genius mage.

"Alright, then let's leave you guys for now and talk about it again in a few years," Wang Yi agreed.
