Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Although somewhat unexpected, Bai Yu managed to successfully complete the selection of the magic crystal.

Next, it was Shen Yuan's turn to make a choice.

Both the Flame Sparrow and the Frost Swan's magic are typical offensive magic. As a support mage, Shen Yuan would definitely choose the Nian Insect's magic crystals, whether considering his own absorption or the value of the magic crystals.

However, Shen Yuan felt that his contribution in the battle was the lowest among the four, so he felt quite embarrassed.

Huang Ya noticed Shen Yuan's hesitation and, quite considerately, tossed the Nian Chong's magic crystal directly to Shen Yuan, then flicked the Shuang Hu's magic crystal back towards Mo Yu.

Shen Yuan nodded gratefully to Huang Ya.

With the four magic crystals now distributed, the group was able to continue their journey towards the South Sands base.

After this incident, the Yellow Crow Squad and the Ink Feather Squad will definitely have to go back and write reports.

Huang Ya casually handed the remaining Flame Sparrow Magic Crystal to Tan Lang: "Absorb it."

The Flame Sparrow's spells are quite suitable for Tan Lang.

Of course, those who die by fire are an exception.

Unlike outsiders like Bai Yu, the magic crystals collected by the Yellow Crow Squad, apart from a small amount of bonus, were mainly used to convert into military merits and leave a record on their resumes.

Huang Ya has no shortage of military merits. He is already a major. Apart from Zhang Jin, the regimental commander, only Mo Yu and the two deputy regimental commanders in the entire Lingnan Shaqiao have the same rank as him.

Although Huang Ya has a military rank, he does not hold a military post and belongs to a special squad configuration within the Candlelight Army.

At least in Lingnan Shaqiao, Huang Ya's military rank had reached the point where he could not be promoted any further.

Huang Ya had no intention of becoming an officer like Zhang Jin. Compared to being a military region leader who had to coordinate all aspects, Huang Ya preferred the efficiency of leading a small team to carry out missions.

Once an elite squad like theirs is formed, its members will remain largely unchanged unless there are unforeseen circumstances forcing its disbandment or a member is killed.

Therefore, enhancing the strength of the squad members is naturally more important than military merits.

Mo Yu and Huang Ya made the same choice in this regard; Mo Yu also gave one of his team members the Frostswan's magic crystal.

After obtaining the Flame Sparrow's magic crystal, Tan Lang did not refuse and silently put it away, preparing to absorb it after returning to the Nansha base.

On the way back, Wang Yi quietly approached Bai Yu and whispered, "Teacher, I feel unworthy of this."

The reason why she is only saying this now is because Wang Yi does not want to question Bai Yu's decision in front of everyone.

In particular, Bai Yu was still trying to secure benefits for him.

Bai Yu glanced at Wang Yi and said, "You did a good job. You deserve it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi scratched his head sheepishly.

During these five days of training, Bai Yu, as an observer, witnessed the team's evolutionary growth.

Although everyone had outstanding performances, Wang Yi, the healer and tank of the team, was undoubtedly the key to everyone's survival.

Bai Yu and Jiang Yue share the same view on this point: strength will always improve, but some qualities are innate.

Wang Yi now undoubtedly deserves Bai Yu's greater investment of effort in nurturing her.

"Actually, the magic crystals of the spirit insects are even more precious, but mages who can absorb mental magic are extremely rare," Bai Yu whispered to Wang Yi.

"Compared to the original elemental magic, the newly emerged mental magic and spatial magic are actually more demanding on the mage's talent."

Not only are magic crystals scarce, but mages who can absorb mental and spatial magic are even scarcer.

Moreover, whether it's an offensive mage, a support mage, or a healing mage, they were all originally just categories within elemental magic.

As a result, since the emergence of mental magic and spatial magic, although they can be integrated into these three types of mages, there are also obvious problems.

In elemental magic, generally speaking, healing mages can absorb healing magic with great efficiency, but absorbing attack and support magic is entirely a matter of luck.

The same applies to the other two types of monks.

However, mental magic and spatial magic are different.

The reason for this chaotic situation is that many mental and spatial magic spells, which are classified as auxiliary magic, do not affect the absorption by healing mages or even attack mages.

In other words, as long as you have the talent to absorb mental or spatial magic, it will not affect your ability to absorb mental or spatial magic, regardless of whether you were originally a support mage, a healing mage, or an attack mage.

This was practically impossible in the original classification of elemental magic.

Just like how I am actually an offensive mage, I successfully absorbed spatial magic, whether it was teleportation or Voidwalker, which are clearly auxiliary spells.

It gives the impression that mental and spatial magic are actually superior to elemental magic.

Therefore, some researchers are now suggesting that, in addition to the categories of attack mage, support mage, and healing mage, we should also create two new categories: mental mage and spatial mage.

However, the dispute remains unresolved and no conclusion has been reached.

Bai Yu explained to Wang Yi in a low voice: "So, although the mental-type psychic insect magic crystal is more precious, I'm not sure if you have the talent for mental-type magic."

Since we're going to gamble anyway, we should definitely gamble on the Azure Phoenix Magic Crystal, which has a higher probability of success.

After all, you can even absorb healing magic like the Healing Ray, which shows that your talent in healing magic is extraordinary, so the probability of you absorbing the Cry of Life is very high.

After listening to Bai Yu's explanation, Wang Yi pretended to be deep in thought.

He actually wanted the Nen Worm's magic crystal even more, because he knew that once he advanced to the intermediate mage level, he would be able to successfully absorb all four of the Nen Worm's spells.

Similarly, he should be able to absorb spatial magic just as easily.

However, Bai Yu was unaware of these things, so it was perfectly understandable that she chose the more reliable Azure Phoenix Magic Crystal for him.

Wang Yi was unable to explain, let alone make any demands.

The Azure Phoenix Magic Crystal was a reward that Bai Yu specially gave to Wang Yi. If he were to continue nitpicking, it would be a bit presumptuous and make him think too highly of himself.

Since fate has decreed it this way, Wang Yi has no choice but to continue his studies on the path of becoming a first wife for the time being, striving to reach new heights.

I just don't know if, in the future, if we encounter attack magic from the mental or spatial systems, we'll be able to break free from the system's limitation of not being able to absorb attack magic.

Although it remains to be verified, it did give Wang Yi a glimmer of hope.

After these past few days of training, Wang Yi felt increasingly that his output was really low.

While being a healing mage and a support mage, isn't it a mistake to solely pursue attack power?

If a healer can both support and deal damage, wouldn't that seem a bit unconventional to other healers?
