Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Amidst Ren Ming's forceful shouts and curses, Li Lei and the others slunk away.

"I didn't realize Old Ren was so eloquent. He's like me." Qi Xiaohao nodded with admiration, feeling as if he had found a kindred spirit.

"Probably because Senior Dai Lan isn't here, this guy is too lazy to pretend to be polite." Wang Yi could see clearly that Ren Ming was an arrogant guy by nature, and arrogant people are often not very well-mannered.

Although both of them need to improve their manners, this is actually different from Qi Xiaohao's situation.

Qi Xiaohao simply enjoys being foul-mouthed, and he only uses his foul mouth on people he dislikes or opposes.

As long as there are no grudges, Qi Xiaohao is extremely kind to ordinary people, and his interpersonal skills are first-rate. He has never felt superior because of his billions in wealth.

After dealing with Li Lei and his gang, Ren Ming warmly approached Wang Yi and the others, a smile plastered on his face: "Lanlan has a mission and can't come back for the time being, but she specifically asked me to take you in before she left."

Although there were some initial conflicts, Ren Ming adjusted his mindset after sparring with the three of them.

Ren Ming was especially enthusiastic towards Jiang Yue and Wang Yi, with a hint of ingratiation.

Of course, it wasn't because of Wang Yi's abilities, but because Ren Ming had placed Jiang Yue and Wang Yi in the position of future brothers-in-law.

Having shed the rivalry over love, Ren Ming and Wang Yi naturally had no conflict of interest. Moreover, the Magic High School World League would rely heavily on these individuals.

In fact, Ren Ming himself didn't care much about the results of the Magic High School World League, but since Dai Lan cared, he had no choice but to care as well.

Previously, Ren Ming and Ma Guocheng, who were quite at odds with each other, could reluctantly form a team for the sake of the competition. Now, however, he could openly kick those guys out of the game. Ren Ming couldn't be happier.

"You must be tired from your journey. Which building is your dormitory in? I'll take you there first."

Ren Ming originally wanted to help Wang Yi and the others with their luggage, but he found that all five of them had come empty-handed. But that made sense, since Wang Yi had a virtual world, which made spatial magic very convenient, so there was no need for him to bring luggage.

"We don't live in the dorms." Qi Xiaohao waved his hand. "We just found a small house nearby. It's convenient. And don't keep calling me 'Lanlanlan.' We all know each other. There's no need to assert our ownership. Be careful, or I'll tell Sister Lan on us later."

"Then what the hell are you doing here so early?" Ren Ming was annoyed, but stopped himself from saying anything. He then explained, "Today is the start of the semester for the new students from out of town to set up their dorms and get familiar with the campus. Actually, the semester officially starts after the orientation meeting tomorrow."

"It's nothing important, we just came to take a look." Wang Yi waved his hand: "That person just now, what was her name again... Han Meimei? What's going on? It seems the original team had a lot of complaints about us."

"Li Lei is basically Ma Guocheng's underling. You didn't hear a single word correctly." Ren Ming shrugged. "As you know, in order to prepare for the Magic High School World League, basically every magic university with a bit of ambition will form a team in advance."

"The seeded team of Beijiang Magic University was formed three years ago, with me as captain, Ma Guocheng as vice captain, Dai Lan and Takito as official players, and Zhou Guang and Fang Yunchen as substitute players."

"Why isn't Sister Lan the captain, but instead you, her sycophant, are the captain?" Qi Xiaohao glanced at Ren Ming, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Lan... Dai Lan is purely an attack-type character, what kind of captain is she?" Ren Ming slightly raised his chin: "I'm the captain, naturally because I have the strength. Even Ma Guocheng, a senior, is easily overpowered by me. What, Fatty, you're not convinced?"

Qi Xiaohao couldn't help but roll his eyes. This guy really didn't react at all to the term "simp."

Well, there's nothing more to say. After all, shamelessness is invincible.

"So these four people who were kicked out have a lot of complaints about us?" Wang Yi quickly steered the conversation back to the main topic, hoping that Ren Ming and Qi Xiaohao would exchange a few more words, and perhaps they would start a mini-lecture on family tree relationships right there and then.

"Of course I have a lot of opinions." Ren Ming gave Wang Yi a strange look: "Don't you know what you're doing?"

"What did I do?" Wang Yi asked innocently.

"What an overbearing act!" Ren Ming's eyes widened in disbelief. "You arrange the team members from Beijiang Magic University however you want! I, the captain of a seeded team, have been reduced to a substitute for your team. Isn't that overbearing enough?"

Wang Yi raised his hand and scratched his head. He hadn't thought that much about it. He chose Beijiang Magic University to help Jiang Yue and bring good results to Beijiang Magic University, so he naturally chose his teammates according to his own ideas.

Who would have thought that this would disrupt the original plans of Beijiang Magic University?

However, Wang Yi nodded in agreement with Ren Ming's last sentence: "It is indeed a bit unfair to you. I suggest you leave the team directly. I would like to have Lily fill in for the substitute position."

Ren Ming looked away, pretending not to have heard that, then coughed and continued:

"Beijiang Magic University isn't anything special. It doesn't have many top geniuses. The fact that it can assemble such a team is already quite impressive. If Dai Lan hadn't insisted on entering this school, even I wouldn't have come."

Although Ren Ming's words were a bit harsh, that was the truth, and even Jiang Yue did not refute them.

Ren Ming continued:

"The original seeded team members were already some of the strongest players from Beijiang Magic University. They had been forced to work together for so long and were quite capable. But they were suddenly disbanded before the competition even started. Ma Guocheng and the others must be very unhappy about that."

"In their eyes, you are just pampered young soldiers who were parachuted in to gain experience, and then, with your strong connections, you stole the opportunities that should have been yours. To be honest, from their perspective, it's perfectly normal for them to criticize you and the school."

"We earned our qualifications through our own abilities, okay?" Qi Xiaohao expressed his dissatisfaction. He was an upright man and never liked to rely on connections or backdoors.

"Who knows?" Ren Ming shrugged. "To outsiders, Wang Yi, the most famous one among you, is just a decent high school student. As for Jiang Yue and Wang Jiang, they're just kings of magic high school in Lanling City. But this is a magic university. They're three or four years ahead of you. Who would believe you're more capable?"

"If I hadn't been beaten by you guys, I wouldn't believe it at all."

"Moreover, you all know Jiang Yue's identity and connections. The school has tacitly accepted this, almost wearing the word 'behind-the-scenes' on their faces."

"Didn't you disband the team? Why blame the school?" Qi Xiaohao raised a different opinion.

"Please, I was appointed captain by the school. Do you really think I can dominate Beijiang University just because I have some ability?" Ren Ming rolled his eyes. "I applied to disband the team just to vent my frustration and show my unequivocal support for you guys... Of course, there's also a tiny bit of personal grudge involved. I'm really annoyed with Ma Guocheng, so I was just trying to scare him a little, but that's not important."

"But who would have thought that my application went so smoothly, and the seed team was disbanded just like that, and it was never reorganized afterward. That's when I realized that it's true that having connections makes things easier." Ren Ming said, turning his gaze to Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Jiang Yue already felt bad enough that he had to come all the way to Beijiang Magic University to study. If he couldn't provide the best possible treatment in all aspects, he would feel even more guilty.

"But you don't need to worry about this. No matter how much Ma Guocheng and his gang bark, it won't do any good. I'll go and deal with them in a bit, and I promise I'll resolve this matter perfectly." Ren Ming patted his chest. "I already promised Dai Lan I'd take good care of you. Now, I'll show you around the school."

"We really should take a look around the school." Wang Yi nodded. "Old Ren, lead the way. Let's go to the arena first."

"You mean...?"

Wang Yi said calmly, "We definitely want the seeded team spots, so the main conflict always lies with us. In that case, we'll just defeat them, just like we defeated you back then."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaohao rubbed his hands together, becoming excited, while Jiang Yue and Wang Jiang couldn't help but exchange a glance, somewhat surprised.

When did Wang Yi become so sharp and outspoken?
