Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

After much editing, Wang Yi finally kept fewer than ten names of super-level magical beasts.

Then, adding the five medical-type trees, as well as the Fire Phoenix and Black Gold Ancient Tree that Xu Jun is about to personally acquire, the total number is still less than twenty.

Chu Zhaoding put the note away. It said that if the magic crystals were shared among the marshals of various armies, it wouldn't be so difficult.

Although handing over these magic crystals to Wang Yi feels like throwing money down the drain, those who can sit in the position of marshal have a long-term vision and will not simply worry about such gains and losses.

"What else do you need? Tell me all at once," Chu Zhaoding asked Wang Yi.

"There really are some things to take care of." Wang Yi opened the illusory realm, and three other secondary clones came out carrying large and small bags.

"My three clones want to continue participating in the Magic High School World League."

Wang Yi first casually pointed to the three identical clones, and then took out a stack of letters written by Ren Tianque.

"These are letters that Ren Tianque wants to send to his relatives and friends. I need to deliver them for him."

Chu Zhaoding took the letter and looked at the recipients: Zhang Wei, the director of Tianfu Orphanage; Ji Qiyue and Ji Yuechu; Xiao Kunze; and some generals from the Huaxia Army.

"I'll arrange for someone to deliver it, and while I'm at it, I'll have them sign a confidentiality agreement. For now, let's keep your affairs in the magical world classified as confidential," Chu Zhaoding said.

"no problem."

Wang Yi naturally had no objection, and then pulled out a bunch of magic crystals.

"These are magic crystals that Ren Tianque handed over to the military. Although they are not super-grade magic crystals, they are still a token of his goodwill." Wang Yi first pointed to a large pile of magic crystals and then took out six human crystals.

"This is the human crystal of Lin Qingyu's clone. It's not really of much use to me. You guys can see if you can study it."

Chu Zhaoding frowned as he looked at the human crystal in Wang Yi's hand.

"Six? You actually took down six of Lin Qingyu's clones? What was the strength of his clones?"

"Of these six magic crystals, four were the ones that attacked Lieutenant General Ye Mian and Lieutenant General Zhang Shilin, and the other two appeared in the spatial rift. They must have come from the magic world, which is why I guessed that Lin Qingyu's main target was me."

"As for the clone's strength, its level is high-level mage, but its soul power is strong, and it also has its own self-created soul combat techniques. The combination of magic is both powerful and reasonable. Its overall strength is probably only slightly weaker than my real body."

Wang Yi roughly judged: "If I had to give a rating, it would probably be no weaker than an ordinary extraordinary mage. Moreover, apart from not having epic-grade magic, it is stronger than an ordinary extraordinary mage in all other aspects, because its clones are also five-elemental magic gods, making it more comprehensive."

Chu Zhaoding glanced at the four secondary clones of Wang Yi, then asked, "Is your clone magic the same as Lin Qingyu's? Can you estimate how many clones he actually has?"

Wang Yi thought for a few seconds before answering: "The magic used to create clones should be the same. This can be determined from the clones' state of consciousness, soul power, and possession of magic."

"As for the number, I can only guess. My conservative estimate is eight, and it could be more."

"Eight!"

Chu Zhaoding frowned, meaning that Lin Qingyu alone was now equivalent to the high-end combat power of the Chinese army.

If Lin Qingyu were to advance to the level of a forbidden mage, his threat level would almost rival that of the sacred beast, the Queen Bee.

No, with Lin Qingyu's talent, it would be strange if he weren't a forbidden mage after all these years.

"It's a pity we only have human crystals. If we could capture one of Lin Qingyu's clones, that would be great. Perhaps we could get Elder Qing to make a move. Even if we can't kill him, we could greatly weaken his strength."

Xu Jun looked at the human crystal of Lin Qingyu's clone and said with some regret.

"Elder Qing?" Chu Zhaoding searched his mind for the name. "Marshal Qing Yuanzhong? Is he still alive?"

"Qing Yuanzhong?" Wang Yi's mouth dropped open in surprise. This was a legendary name from his magic history textbook, the very name in his collection of wrong answers.

"China's first forbidden mage?"

"That's right." Xu Jun nodded with a hint of respect on his face, then glared at Chu Zhaoding: "Of course Elder Qing is alive, and alive and well."

Chu Zhaoding obediently lowered his head; of course, Chu Zhaoding was indeed unaware of this.

After all, every forbidden mage is a vital national treasure, and even if they sacrifice themselves, their deaths would probably be kept secret.

Qing Yuanzhong, in the early days of the magical era, led the Chinese mage army in a bloody battle in the interdimensional passage, becoming a legendary figure of an era.

At the same time, Qing Yuanzhong was also the first marshal of a full-fledged mage army in the military, the founder of the Tianfu Army and the Xiangsi Army, the first forbidden mage in China, and one of the founding elders of the Global Magic Federation.

He has received countless honors and titles.

Compared to Qing Yuanzhong, the three geniuses of China who came after him—whether it was Lin Qingyu, Ren Tianque, or Wang Yi—were like young dragons hopping around in a pond, far inferior.

If Qing Yuanzhong were still alive, he would probably be over 120 years old by now.

Whether becoming a transcendent mage will increase lifespan is unknown. After all, the magical era has only been around for a century, and transcendent mages are far from reaching their lifespan limit.

All the extraordinary people who sacrificed their lives for China died in battle; none of them died of old age.

A first-generation mage like Qing Yuanzhong, who witnessed the beginning of the magical era, has only been an extraordinary mage for a little over seventy years.

At over 120 years old, it seems very old, but it is not the upper limit of human lifespan, because there are a very few exceptional individuals among ordinary people who have lived to this age.

It's just that most people can't live that long.

Moreover, with the advent of the magical age and the rise of healing mages, human lifespan will inevitably be extended.

Moreover, Qing Yuanzhong's body has been nurtured by magic for nearly a hundred years and has undergone several advancements and enhancements, so his physique must be incredibly strong, growing stronger with age.

Furthermore, Qing Yuanzhong certainly has no shortage of extraordinary medical mages around him to assist in his recuperation, so living another ten or twenty years should not be a problem.

However, as China gradually gained a foothold in the invasion of the interdimensional passage, unwritten rules for forbidden magicians emerged in various countries, and Qing Yuanzhong slowly began to fade into the background, disappearing from everyone's sight until he vanished without a trace.

Even Chu Zhaoding, one of the marshals, was not very clear about these circumstances.

Only Xu Jun, currently the youngest forbidden mage in China, has the authority to know about the forbidden mages of the past.

"Where is Marshal Qing now? Does he have a way to directly harm Lin Qingyu through a clone?"

Chu Zhaoding asked hurriedly.

Xu Jun pondered for a few seconds. The two questions Chu Zhaoding had asked were indeed top secret.

However, considering that there were only the three of them present, Xu Jun figured it wouldn't hurt to reveal some information.

Moreover, Chu Zhaoding is one of the military marshals, and in a few years he will become a forbidden mage, at which time I will go to see Marshal Qing Yuanzhong.

As for Wang Yi, he is of good character and completely trustworthy.

Xu Jun then used his soul power to create a soundproof barrier before replying.

"Elder Qing is currently in Li Yuan. As for the method of harming Lin Qingyu through a clone, it is one of the rules Elder Qing has mastered, called..."
