Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Before the Gate of Stars, Wang Yi's clone was still in the hands of Lin Qingyu's clone.

Before the remains of the Azure Jade Tiger, Wang Yi's true form and Lin Qingyu's true form were locked in a standoff because of the survival of their clones.

On the surface, Wang Yi didn't seem to care, nor did she threaten Lin Qingyu with her own life. Instead, she told Ren Tianque to commit suicide first.

In truth, he had already made up his mind that if either Ren Tianque or the Milk King's clone died, he would never compromise again.

The current situation is different from when Lin Qingyu killed Wang Yi's clone by the campfire.

Lin Qingyu's move was extremely sudden, and by the time Wang Yi reacted, the outcome was already decided.

Wang Yi was unwilling to risk a complete breakdown in the situation, so she had no choice but to endure it for the time being and pretend that nothing had happened.

But now, it is Wang Yi who has taken the initiative to coerce, and the choice of fighting to the death has fallen into Lin Qingyu's hands.

It can be said that Wang Yi and Lin Qingyu actually shared the same thought: neither of them wanted to suffer a mutual destruction.

However, they are also unwilling to fully expose this fact.

Otherwise, this will become their own weakness, and once exposed, there will only be endless retreats.

Therefore, Lin Qingyu's killing of Wang Yi was a test, and now Wang Yi's demand for Ren Tianque to commit suicide is also a test.

Both sides are pulling in opposite directions; this cooperation is like a tug-of-war between two people gripping a taut spider web.

No one wants to let go, but no one wants the spider web to break.

It's really hard to strike the right balance.

Looking at Wang Yi's face covered with dragon scales, Lin Qingyu weighed his options in his mind.

To be honest, if Wang Yi threatened him with her own life, Lin Qingyu would think that Wang Yi was just testing him when she had no other choice, and that it was not a firm threat, so he could ignore it.

But now that Wang Yi has so decisively made Ren Tianque commit suicide, Lin Qingyu is a little unsure and doesn't dare to gamble anymore.

If Wang Yi is indeed as loyal and sentimental as the information he investigated suggests, then his decision to have Ren Tianque commit suicide demonstrates Wang Yi's resolve.

If Wang Yi is actually two-faced and selfish, Ren Tianque, as a powerful and extraordinary person who obeys him without question and is willing to die for Wang Yi at any time, is also a force that cannot be ignored.

Wang Yi's decisive abandonment of this power demonstrates her resolve.

No matter how you analyze it, Lin Qingyu could see that Wang Yi was going all in, even though he was stubborn and had no other options.

Two seconds later, Lin Qingyu spoke:

"This is a one-time exception, and your magic crystal quota will be reduced by half."

Lin Qingyu compromised, but he also had to reduce Wang Yi's interests accordingly.

Wang Yi asked for ten super-grade magic crystals, and has now obtained three. After deducting half, he only has two left.

Wang Yi did some mental calculations, then shook his head: "No."

A cold glint flashed in Lin Qingyu's eyes: "You want to die!"

Wang Yi raised the dragon claw and extended three fingers:

"Three more, you must give me three more. These three are my means of survival. They are indispensable if I want to deal with the Sacred Beast Bee Queen. You don't want me to be powerless against the Sacred Beast Bee Queen after I become extraordinary, do you?"

"Which three?" Lin Qingyu asked.

"Super-tier Water Dragon, Super-tier Wood Dragon..."

Wang Yi retracted his fingers one by one, finally clenching them into a dragon fist.

"And... the Super Queen Bee!"

Aside from the ten super-grade magic crystals obtained from the military, Wang Yi has already acquired the magic crystals of the super-grade Silverfin Fish, the super-grade Golden Body Fighting Ape, and the super-grade Azure Jade Tiger with Lin Qingyu's help.

The legendary-grade passive skill "Surge of Magic" on the Super-Tier Silverfin Fish allows Wang Yi to save a significant amount of time needed to advance to the Transcendent level.

The Super-Rank Golden Body Fighting Ape and Azure Jade Tiger are naturally for the active magic Golden Light Body and the passive magic Jade Bone.

However, while these two spells are important, they are merely icing on the cake.

What Wang Yi must possess is an epic-grade water dragon clone, an epic-grade secondary life form, and the immortal rule that the wood dragon has heard of but never seen.

Of course, to obtain the complete Undying Rules, one would at least have to kill the sacred beast Azure Dragon, but Wang Yi didn't have that strength, and Lin Qingyu would never agree to it.

Therefore, Wang Yi had no choice but to take a gamble, betting that the four-attribute divine skill of the Super-Tier Wood Dragon was related to the Undying Rule.

Wang Yi discovered a key point by observing the super-grade magic crystals obtained from the military.

That is, as long as it is a four-attribute divine skill, once it reaches the epic grade, it will most likely possess a trace of the power of rules.

This is the true source of his power after advancing to the extraordinary realm.

With several strands of power from the rules surrounding him, even though each strand was only a trace, it should still be enough for him to directly confront the Holy Beast Bee King.

"Wooden Dragon?" Lin Qingyu sneered, "Putting aside the Bee Queen's kin's magic crystals, you're currently in the Dragon King's territory, yet you want to hunt its offspring?"

"The Dragon Emperor's territory?" Wang Yi raised an eyebrow. "Could this Dragon Emperor be referring to the one who once invaded Li Yuan..."

Lin Qingyu uttered two words softly:

"Azure Dragon!"

Wang Yi grinned, then became even more determined to obtain the magic crystal.

"These three magic crystals, not one can be missing... And you seem to have made a mistake, it was you, not me, who was hunting the wood dragon."

Lin Qingyu frowned: "You still want me to help you kill them?"

"Of course!" Wang Yi nodded vigorously, then asked in return, "Do you really expect me and Ren Tianque to join forces and quickly take down a near-immortal super-level wood dragon? What a joke, that would be like handing food to the Azure Dragon."

After saying that, Wang Yi shrugged indifferently:

"Of course, if you don't want to give them, I don't care. But there's something I need to make clear first: without these three magic crystals, my strength is definitely not enough to defeat the Holy Beast Bee Queen, because..."

At this point, Wang Yican stared into Lin Qingyu's eyes with his golden vertical pupils and said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, neither Ren Tianque nor you will be able to help me when slaying the Sacred Beast Bee King."

"This is a life-or-death battle between me and the Holy Beast Bee Queen. I have no teammates, only opponents."

"If I don't have enough strength, and you're exposed, I'll die, and we'll both have a bright future."

Lin Qingyu stared intently at Wang Yi, his eyes filled with ferocity and murderous intent.

Wang Yi raised his dragon claw, flicked out his little finger, and casually picked his nose, the sharp claw rubbing against the dragon scales with a harsh sound.

After a brief standoff, Lin Qingyu suddenly broke into a smile.

"Kid, people who are too smart don't have any friends."

Wang Yi felt a sudden sense of relief, and then casually clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lin Qingyu.

"Senior Xie Lin, you are very kind. However, I am not very talented. I have a few good friends in China, and that is enough for me in this life."

Outside the Star Gate, Lin Qingyu's clone simply flung his hand, throwing the Milk King clone back into the Star Gate.

Lin Qingyu, who was standing in front of Wang Yi, suddenly disappeared and returned to his throne.

He left Wang Yi with only one sentence.

"Hurry up and get ready so we can go hunt the Wood Dragon. Don't make it too bloody, I don't like it."

"Understood."

Wang Yi bowed slightly, his lowered dragon eyes gleaming with golden light as he began to ponder.

Is the personality of this newly born neurotic soul truly under his control?
