Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

The submarine carried Wang Yi as it descended, eventually arriving at an underwater base.

This place is nearly 800 meters below the sea surface, under high pressure and low temperature, and is completely dark.

After the submarine completed its identity verification, the massive docking gate of the base opened with a roar, revealing a dim light. The submarine then slowly moved inside, as if entering a tunnel.

After the submarine has anchored in a designated location, the massive gate closes again and descends until it is completely sealed, at which point the drainage function is activated.

About ten minutes later, the water level in the harbor dropped by a third, but that was enough to expose most of the submarine's hull.

Then the hatch on top of the submarine opened, and the salty, humid air rushed into his nostrils. Wang Yi poked his head out with a hint of curiosity.

Looking around, all that could be seen were thick metal walls, reflecting the light from the huge searchlights on top, making one feel somewhat dizzy.

After bidding farewell to the Fei Peng Army soldiers in the submarine, Wang Yi left the submarine, stepped onto the slippery metal walkway, and then climbed a few steps along the walkway to the small hatch, which was two and a half meters high, in the upper left corner of the dock.

After verifying their identity at the door, a hydraulic sound was heard, the hatch opened, and a Feipeng Army soldier was already waiting inside.

"Wang Yi, hello, please come with me."

The soldier led Wang Yi into the passageway, then closed and locked the sealed hatch, and refilled the harbor with water.

Once the harbor is filled with seawater again, the harbor gates will reopen, and the submarine can then set sail and depart.

Wang Yi's departure means he will be in the Vast Ocean Realm for an unknown number of days. The submarine also has its own mission and cannot wait for Wang Yi here.

The normal procedure should be for a military aircraft to take Wang Yi to the harbor, and then he should transfer to a small ship and travel for nearly twenty hours before finally arriving over the Han Hai Jie and entering the seabed base through a small single-person submersible.

It just so happened that Lieutenant General Wan Zhenyu of the Feipeng Army was recently near the Hanhai Realm, which is why the military aircraft carrying Wang Yi was allowed to travel directly there. They even allowed the military aircraft to land on the Feipeng aircraft carrier, and finally allocated a submarine for Wang Yi as a transport ship.

It was just to make an appearance before Wang Yi.

Of course, Wan Zhenyu's preferential treatment wasn't just to catch a glimpse of Wang Yi, since Wang Yi wasn't a three-headed, six-armed being, nor did he have flowers growing on his face.

Wan Zhenyu was simply trying to confirm Wang Yi's strength.

The fact that Wang Yi applied to enter the Vast Ocean Realm already speaks volumes.

After all, the interdimensional passage at the 'realm' level is already filled with various high-level magical beasts. Moreover, the special terrain of the Vast Ocean Realm makes it impossible for the military to station troops inside, so the density of high-level magical beasts will only be higher.

Therefore, after receiving Wang Yi's application, the high-ranking officers of the Fei Peng Army immediately deduced that Wang Yi had most likely successfully advanced to a high-level mage.

If you're not even a high-level mage, then what are you doing in the Vast Sea Realm? Feeding the fish?

Moreover, even for ordinary high-level mages, the chances of survival when facing numerous aquatic magical beasts in the Vast Ocean Realm are pitifully small.

Because apart from water-based attack magic, the power of other attack magic is often greatly reduced in water, and is severely weakened.

However, Wang Yi didn't care much about this, because he didn't know any offensive magic, so there was nothing to weaken him for.

Previously, in the command room of the Feipeng ship, Wang Yi had noticed that Wan Zhenyu's soul power had flashed by.

However, Wang Yi had prepared in advance, sealing his soul power in his mind. Therefore, Wan Zhenyu only confirmed Wang Yi's level as a high-level mage and his incredibly vigorous vitality, but did not discover that Wang Yi also possessed soul power.

Of course, this was also because Wan Zhenyu's soul power was withdrawn immediately upon contact, without conducting an excessive and reckless probing, otherwise it would have been very impolite.

Normally, Wang Yi wouldn't sense this power probing him.

It was because of this that Wan Zhenyu later expressed such sentiments to his adjutant.

After all, the shock that a nineteen-year-old high-level mage brought to Wan Zhenyu was unimaginable.

Returning to Wang Yi, after entering the passageway, he followed the soldiers of the Fei Peng Army and soon arrived at the command center of this base.

Wang Yi had visited many military bases guarding the passage between the two worlds, but this was the first time he had seen the layout of the Han Hai Realm.

In the past, the Star Gates that connected the two worlds were all shrouded in a large hall, and the Vast Ocean Realm is similar in this respect.

However, this "hall" is filled with seawater, and even the command center is built in the water. A huge transparent glass wall isolates the seawater, allowing people in the hall to directly see the situation of the Star Vortex in the Vast Ocean Realm through the glass.

Wang Yi looked at the scene with great interest, as if he were visiting an underwater world. The difference was that the glass was filled with monotonous seawater, without any various kinds of marine life.

In front of the glass of the command center, a middle-aged man in military uniform sat in a chair with his feet propped up on the table, lazily holding a steaming cup of coffee.

"Hello, Wang Yi."

Upon seeing Wang Yi enter, the middle-aged man immediately waved to him, saying, "I am Ke Lixia, it's an honor to meet you."

By looking at the uniform and shoulder insignia, Wang Yi could tell that Ke Lixia was a lieutenant general in the Burning Blood Army.

Wang Yi was surprised; another lieutenant general, another extraordinary individual.

Why would a superhuman lieutenant general from the Burning Blood Army appear in the Vast Ocean Realm, which belongs to the Flying Peng Army?

Seemingly noticing Wang Yi's confusion, Ke Lixia explained, "Many of the magical beasts that emerge from the Vast Ocean Realm are high-level magical beasts. Even if a high-level mage were stationed here, they might not be able to deal with them immediately. And if the battle becomes intense, the aftershocks could easily damage this underwater base. You know, building such a base at a depth of 800 meters is quite troublesome."

Ke Lixia put the coffee on the table, stood up and stretched: "This base has been rebuilt seven or eight times because of this, it's all a history of blood and tears, so the military simply sends an extraordinary being here to bully the weak, using absolute force to prevent the magical beasts from causing any trouble, and then periodically sends some special high-level mages in to investigate, to ensure that nothing gets out of control in the Vast Sea Realm."

As they were talking, two enormous fish suddenly appeared in front of the Star Gate in the vast underwater world before them.

The two fish are eight meters and nearly nine meters long, respectively. Under the underwater searchlight, their scales reflect light, and their silver fins on their backs are particularly dazzling.

Wang Yi immediately recognized that the two were high-level magical beasts, silverfin fish. The passive magic power in their magic crystals was surging, which was the key to Wang Yi's rapid advancement.

"Like this."

The moment the two silverfin fish appeared, Ke Lixia casually waved her hand.

A barely perceptible high-speed current of water was generated in the seawater, forming a net. Just as the silverfin fish noticed the change in its surroundings and before it could react to the spatial teleportation, the current swept across its body, precisely dividing the two silverfin fish into dozens of neat pieces of fish meat.

High-level magical beasts have strong vitality, so only by quickly decomposing them can the silverfin fish be prevented from struggling too much and making a commotion.

The blood stained the Star Gate, and the fish pieces slowly sank into the fishing net at the bottom. Then the net tightened, dragging the fish pieces into a cabin at the bottom.

By observing the flow of blood, Wang Yi could see that this seemingly calm underwater world actually had fixed undercurrents, clearly indicating that it was flowing water.

The blood was quickly carried away by the water, and vision returned.

"The silverfin fish tastes quite good, second only to boneless fish. You've come at the right time; you can have the kitchen prepare it in eighteen ways for you." Ke Lixia, having casually dealt with two high-level magical beasts, yawned and then asked Wang Yi, "So, do you want to try it before entering the Vast Sea Realm?"
