Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Let's rewind to two months ago.

When Wang Yi successfully advanced to become a high-level mage and thoroughly tested the effects of the Lesser Life spell that very night, he felt both excited and unwilling.

Wang Yi was excited that his previous guess was correct; the secondary life form could indeed produce human crystals for him continuously, although he would have to go through a painful and difficult period of weakness.

What Wang Yi found frustrating was that the secondary life form did not have the ability to create clones or external avatars.

This made Wang Yi very unwilling.

If Wang Yi had never encountered the Coroner King, it wouldn't have mattered, but he had witnessed the Coroner King's intelligence and magic.

Moreover, after truly possessing a secondary life form, Wang Yi was more willing to believe that this Coroner King was a clone created by some kind of magic.

After all, magic is too illogical.

With the example of the deceased official Wang Zhuyu, Wang Yi naturally had higher expectations for secondary life forms, but in the end, half of them were not met.

Therefore, when Wang Yi sent the secondary life crystal to Marshal Chu Zhaoding, he also asked Chu Zhaoding to find a magical beast that had similar clones.

The reason Wang Yi only asked about magical beasts and not which mage possessed this type of magic was because he guessed that this clone magic was most likely to have the "exclusive" attribute, which human mages could basically not absorb.

With Wang Yi's current knowledge, he hasn't discovered any magical beasts that possess this effect. Either these magical beasts are too precious and have a high level of secrecy, so Wang Yi has no way of knowing about them, or these magical beasts haven't appeared in the interdimensional passage yet, so naturally they won't be discovered by human mages.

In either case, seeking Chu Zhaoding's help is the optimal solution for Wang Yi.

If it's a matter of the first level of secrecy, then for Chu Zhaoding, who is one of the people with the highest authority in China, the level of secrecy is just a piece of paper.

All confidential information depends solely on whether Chu Zhaoding wants to see it, not on whether he is able to see it.

If this kind of magical beast has not yet been discovered by human mages, then it is even more necessary to seek help from the military.

Because the first mages to come into contact with Warcraft were always military personnel.

However, in that case, the timing becomes uncertain. If they're unlucky, this kind of magical beast might never enter the interdimensional passage and be discovered by a human mage.

Fortunately, Wang Yi was really lucky. Just two months later, news from Chu Zhaoding came that the clone magic was showing promise.

Feipeng Army's mobile maritime base in the Nansha Islands waters.

The military aircraft carrying Wang Yi passed the verification and successfully landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier "Feipeng".

This was a complete aircraft carrier battle group, complete with frigates, destroyers, cruisers, supply ships, and submarines. The various carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier deck were arranged neatly, dazzling Wang Yi.

After jumping off the plane and landing on solid ground, Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

When Wang Yi was locked onto by a bunch of close-in anti-aircraft guns from the escort ships in the Feipeng carrier strike group, he got goosebumps.

After all, that's a 30mm close-in weapon system firing more than 10,000 rounds per minute. Even if Wang Yi were transformed into a dragon, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand such heavy firepower.

Having been a mage for several years, I almost forgot that this world is a place where magic and martial arts are both practiced. While advancing in magical civilization, the technology tree has not lagged behind at all.

While heavy firepower has no place in the interdimensional passage and the magical world, in the real world, these metal creations that embody strength and beauty are still powerful weapons for dominating the world.

If they were truly willing to perish together, how many nuclear bombs could the Forbidden Mage withstand?

Upon stepping onto the aircraft carrier's deck, Wang Yi was led by the soldiers of the Feipeng Army to the command room, where he met the highest commander of the Feipeng aircraft carrier fleet.

Wan Zhenyu, a lieutenant general in Feipeng Army, is a true extraordinary magician.

"Commander," Wang Yi greeted him with a standard military salute.

Wan Zhenyu was in his forties, in the prime of his life, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a tall and upright figure, and an extraordinary heroic appearance.

Upon seeing Wang Yi, a glint flashed in Wan Zhenyu's eyes, and he immediately smiled and said:

"Wang Yi, seeing you in person is truly an honor. You are indeed a young hero. Xiao Fan mentioned you before, saying you are the pride of the Chinese military. I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to meet so soon."

The "Little Fan" that Wan Zhenyu mentioned is Major General Fan Wu of the Feipeng Army. When Wang Yi helped the military resolve the invasion of the "Bridge" level interdimensional passage by high-level magical beasts, the Major General of the Feipeng Army that he came into contact with was Fan Wu.

In the past, Wang Yi would probably have humbly said something like "You flatter me, sir," but now, she accepted the honor with great composure.

After exchanging a few more words, Wan Zhenyu said:

"I've prepared a submarine for you, which can take you directly to the underwater military base. I have routine patrol duties to perform, so I won't keep you here for any more sightseeing."

The Feipeng carrier strike group is such a large force, it's impossible that it's just to guard this small Han Hai Jie Xing Xuan.

The Nansha Islands, as the southernmost part of China's territory, have long been coveted by Japanese and Filipino spies.

Of course, given their national strength, even if they were given two extraordinary abilities, they wouldn't have the guts. They're just relying on their American backers to make a fuss when encouraged.

Wan Zhenyu brought Wang Yi over at just the right time, wanting to meet this man who was widely rumored within the military and was considered the most famous rising star in the Chinese military.

Upon hearing Wan Zhenyu's words, Wang Yi immediately said solemnly, "The preferential treatment I have received from the Feipeng Army on this trip has already made me feel unworthy, and I dare not trouble you any further, Commander."

Wan Zhenyu gave a reminder: "Ordinary mages can't stay inside the Vast Sea Realm at all. But since you dare to go, you must have made thorough preparations. However, the Vast Sea Realm is not well explored, so there is only the most basic information and the situation is unclear. You still need to be more careful and act cautiously after you go in."

"Thank you for your guidance, sir. I will keep it in mind."

Afterwards, Wang Yi bid farewell to Wan Zhenyu, boarded the submarine that had been prepared in advance, and sank to the surface of the sea and disappeared.

Watching the submarine disappear into the sea, Wan Zhenyu's adjutant couldn't help but say, "Commander, why didn't you just let this kid into the submarine? Why did you have to call him over? It's not that easy to board the Feipeng ship. You've really been too kind to this kid."

"What do you know? A child? You may not even have as many military achievements as him after decades of hard work." Wan Zhenyu glared at his adjutant. "Don't underestimate him just because he's young. What you see is only the calm surface of his life. Little do you know how turbulent and unfathomable he is beneath the surface."

"Continue with the mission. We'll give Wang Yi a proper welcome once he comes out of the Vast Ocean Realm."
