Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Wang Yi and Ren Tianque sat facing each other at the stone table, drinking and chatting.

The secondary clone was positioned to Wang Yi's left, remaining silent except for stuffing food into its mouth.

After all, if the secondary clone were to chime in with a few more words, it might cause Ren Tianque to have another mental breakdown.

Ren Tianque tapped the stone table lightly, and a slight frost swirled around the bottles of beer, quickly cooling them down without damaging the bottles in the slightest.

Such precise control over magic had reached the point of being able to do whatever one wanted, which made Wang Yi envious.

In terms of strength, Wang Yi can handle heavy objects with ease and control, but her control over magic is far inferior.

"Oh right, Brother Ren, I almost forgot something important."

Wang Yi opened the virtual realm and took out several letters from the hidden compartments of the massive supply materials, handing them to Ren Tianque.

"This is your reply."

Ren Tianque stretched out his hands, which trembled slightly as he accepted the letter. He then eagerly tore open the envelope and began to read it.

Wang Yi picked up her drink, took a sip, and said no more.

Wang Yi had no idea what was written in the letter; in fact, the letter was delivered at Wang Yi's request to the military.

The letters were from all over the country, and Wang Yi simply didn't have the time to personally visit each one.

One of the letters, in particular, was addressed to Xiao Kunze; Wang Yi really couldn't be bothered to see that kid.

Ten minutes later, Ren Tianque carefully read the letter, then took a deep breath, opened his virtual world, and carefully placed it inside.

Reaching out, Ren Tianque picked up a bottle of freshly chilled beer, flicked the cap off with his finger, held it with both hands, and said earnestly to Wang Yi and his secondary clone:

"Brother Wang, I am deeply grateful and cannot express my thanks."

"Brother Ren, you flatter me. It's just delivering a few letters. Anyway, the Night Watch Army has taken over this passage between the two worlds. If we want to contact each other, we can just send our clones to make a few more trips. It won't take much effort at all."

Upon hearing this, the secondary clone, who was eating, couldn't help but roll its eyes. So it wasn't your effort that was wasted. As expected, clones have no rights!

Ren Tianque clinked bottles with Wang Yi and his secondary clone with great seriousness, but did not say much.

There's no point in saying more; this kindness should be kept in our hearts.

Moreover, Wang Yi's help to him went far beyond simply sending a few letters.

It was entirely worth Ren Tianque paying with his life for.

"I did it."

Ren Tianque tilted his head back and downed the wine, then spun around on the spot.

Wang Yi smiled at his secondary clone, then brought the drink to his lips.

At this moment, Ren Tianque, who was tilting his head back to drink, suddenly saw a small black dot appear in the distant sky.

Subconsciously releasing Eagle Vision to examine closely, Ren Tianque's pupils suddenly contracted, becoming as small as needle tips.

boom!

The beer bottle shattered in Ren Tianque's hand, and the unfinished beer soaked him.

Because Ren Tianque saw a face that he would never forget in his entire life.

That was the root of countless nightmares, a blood feud that I would never forget, even if I turned to ashes.

Ren Tianque suddenly stood up and smashed the stone table, spilling all the wine and food, leaving a mess on the ground.

"Lin Qingyu!"

Looking up at the youth in the sky, Ren Tianque roared, his expression ferocious and his eyes bloodshot.

"not good!"

The moment Wang Yi saw Ren Tianque's expression change drastically, he realized what was going on, and his heart sank to the bottom.

The fact that Ren Tianque reacted this way clearly indicated that Lin Qingyu had appeared behind him silently.

Moreover, the fact that Ren Tianque recognized him at a glance meant that it was most likely not a clone, but Lin Qingyu's true form.

"cold······"

Wang Yi had barely uttered half a word when the situation erupted.

The moment Ren Tianque saw the young man, his recently calmed emotions surged like a raging storm.

A moment of anger nearly destroyed Ren Tianque's reason, and in the next instant, Ren Tianque made his move without hesitation.

The fire and the wind intertwined and merged, transforming into a dazzling dark green spear. The spear was hundreds of meters in diameter and over a thousand meters long. It was incredibly solid, as if it were cast from jade and divine gold. The whole thing was like a pillar of heaven, and it shot directly toward Lin Qingyu, who had just appeared in the distance.

In his rage, Ren Tianque's Li Huo and Tao Feng merged even further, becoming several levels stronger than when he killed the super-class Bi Xi. It can be said to be Ren Tianque's strongest attack at this stage.

Even within the realm of extraordinary mages, Ren Tianque, based on the power of this attack, could probably be firmly ranked in the top tier.

Unfortunately, the person he was facing was Lin Qingyu.

Sixteen years ago, Lin Qingyu was already a renowned extraordinary mage in the Tianfu Army, the first five-elemental mage in China, the youngest extraordinary mage at the time, the de facto commander of the First Division of the Tianfu Army, and a lieutenant general, whose status was second only to the marshal of the Tianfu Army.

He was even the designated successor to the future Marshal of the Heavenly Overlord Army.

Even setting aside his status, at that time, among the extraordinary mages in the military, China, and even the entire human world, there were very few who were stronger than Lin Qingyu. He was worthy of being called the number one person under the taboo of that era.

Now, sixteen years later, no one knows what Lin Qingyu's strength is now, having disappeared for so long since the Battle of Liyuan.

However, one thing is certain: compared to him, Ren Tianque, this junior, is far inferior in terms of reputation, status, and strength.

Even if Ren Tianque were given another sixteen years, he might not be able to catch up.

Moreover, a sixteen-year gap is simply impossible to bridge.

The giant fire and wind spear arrived in front of Lin Qingyu in the blink of an eye. Lin Qingyu stood with his hands behind his back in the air, a hint of amusement on his pale face.

The next moment, transparent patterns like ripples appeared in front of Lin Qingyu, and the giant fire spear plunged into them, disappearing mysteriously as if it had vanished into the sea.

"No matter how powerful the attack, it's useless if it can't hit the target."

Lin Qingyu's lips curled up, and the next moment, ripples of water reappeared above Wang Yi and Ren Tianque's heads.

"not good!"

In an instant, Wang Yi felt a chill run down his spine. Sensing something, he placed one hand on the shoulder of his secondary clone and the other on Ren Tianque's ankle, initiating a jump.

Noisy!

The giant fire spear emerged from the ripples of the water, but it turned its head and fell from above, destroying everything it touched. It completely covered the location where Wang Yi and Ren Tianque were, leaving a circular hole with a diameter of 100 meters.

If you peer down from the edge, you'll see that the rock face is as smooth as a mirror, its depth unknown, perhaps thousands of meters, like a skylight.

Whoosh!

The giant fire-breathing spear pierced through the rock strata, and the immense water pressure caused groundwater to gush out, forming a huge fountain tens of meters high.

At the same time, Wang Yi, along with Ren Tianque and his secondary clone, reappeared in mid-air a thousand meters away, stepping onto auspicious clouds.

Looking at the surging fountain, Wang Yi broke out in a cold sweat, and only then did a sense of lingering fear rise in his heart.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, Ren Tianque would have already died from his own magic.
