Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

"Brother King..." Hu Lili crossed her arms, like a fragile little white rabbit, her eyes misty, looking at King King with a pitiful expression.

"Crying? Crying counts as time too." Wang Jiang pointed to the clock hanging on the wall, unmoved.

"Yeah, stop pretending. I've been keeping track of the days." At this moment, Qi Xiaohao also stood up, groaning, and flexed his knees to relieve the pain. Then, he chimed in, "You won't be able to get there for at least three more days!"

Hu Lili glared fiercely at Qi Xiaohao, knowing that she couldn't avoid this attack. So she abandoned her pitiful act, gritted her teeth, took two quick steps forward, bent her instep, and kicked straight at Wang Jiang's groin.

This kick made Wang Yi's scalp tingle. Originally, Wang Yi only had a vague feeling that this girl was not as well-behaved as she seemed on the surface, but he did not expect her to be so cunning.

Qi Xiaohao also subconsciously squeezed his legs together, turning his toes inward, and then lightly slapped his own mouth, somewhat regretting his earlier rude behavior.

The onlookers were terrified, but the attacked general remained completely calm. With a gentle flick of his left hand, he deflected Hu Lili's toes.

Using Wang Jiang's momentum, Hu Lili spun 360 degrees around her left foot, smoothly executing a high side whip kick, much like a ballet dancer, a truly beautiful sight.

Wang raised his right arm to block precisely: "Fancy moves, too much of a turn, your back is full of weaknesses throughout. Fighting isn't dancing; excessive pursuit of beautiful moves will only leave irreparable flaws."

"snort!"

Hu Lili snorted coldly, pulled her legs back and stood up, then bent her arm and raised her elbow, crashing headfirst into Wang Jiang's arms.

Wang Jiang used his hand to protect his heart, steadily blocking Hu Lili's elbow strike without swaying his body. At the same time, he reminded her, "If you don't have that much strength, don't use such a fierce move."

Whether Hu Lili had heeded Wang Jiang's lesson or not, her attacks were indeed much lighter afterward, though they were still aimed directly at Wang Jiang's vital points, showing a rather ruthless edge.

Unfortunately, all the attacks were easily blocked by the king.

"Thirty seconds have passed."

Wang glanced at the time, and the hand that had been blocking Hu Lili's side kick suddenly bent into a tiger claw shape. He then grabbed Hu Lili's calf and lifted it up, pulling it outward.

Hu Lili's move was interrupted. Her other leg couldn't adjust its position in time, and her legs were stretched into a split, making it impossible for her to exert force.

With her legs restrained, Hu Lili raised her hand, extended her index and middle fingers, and stabbed them directly into Wang Jiang's eyes.

Unfortunately, Wang Jiang was faster. Ignoring the two fingers coming at him, he simply raised his leg and kicked Hu Lili in the abdomen, sending her flying more than three meters away.

Although the kick looked a bit fierce, Wang Jiang actually controlled her strength. After all, as the only girl in the group, and with a likable personality, she would definitely receive different treatment from the other rough guys when fighting, and would always get some preferential treatment.

After dissipating the force by turning over, Hu Lili stood up with a smile, patted the dust off her clothes, and returned to her previous sweet and lovely appearance.

In other words, the gymnasium was large enough, and there were few students in a class. Moreover, these people deliberately chose a secluded corner of the gymnasium.

Otherwise, if others had seen Hu Lili's performance just now, I don't know how many classmates would have been shocked.

After easily defeating three opponents, Wang gave a concluding speech: "Fighting skills are one aspect, but physical fitness is even more important. Because in the future, whether facing monsters or mages, your opponents will not be training targets or wooden stakes. Don't become a turret mage who can only mechanically throw spells."

"Great! Great! Brother Wang is right! Golden words!" Qi Xiaohao clapped his hands, giving him face and showing his support.

Wang Jiang ignored Qi Xiaohao, but seeing Wang Yi looking somewhat dazed, he walked over to Wang Yi and asked, "So, have you decided? Fight next week or not?"

Wang Yi was pondering the fighting techniques Wang Jiang had just taught him when he was suddenly asked this question. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that Wang Jiang was asking about his duel with Wu Guan next week.

Seeing this, Qi Xiaohao patted his chest and was about to speak when Wang Jiang glared at him and shut him up.

Wang Yi doesn't like others making decisions for him.

"We're definitely going to fight. I've already made my promise, and I can't just take it back now, can I?" Wang Yi shrugged helplessly.

"Speaking of magic alone, Wu Guan is no ordinary person. Although he only showed three or four ordinary-grade spells, given his family background, it would not be difficult for him to absorb a few stronger rare-grade spells."

"If you insist on putting on a brave face, he might get desperate and unleash his most powerful rare-grade attack spells on you. You'll be lucky to escape with your life," the king warned, frowning.

One of the fat guys in the group, surnamed Qi, who had been paid to do so, pursed his lips in displeasure upon hearing this.

In fact, Wang Jiang's relationship with Wang Yi wasn't very good, and it wasn't even as good as his relationship with Qi Xiaohao.

In this small group of five, Qi Xiaohao and Wang Yi had the best relationship, while Wang Jiang had the best relationship with Jiang Yue, because these two pairs had known each other for many years.

However, Jiang Yue and Qi Xiaohao had a strangely good relationship, which led to Wang Jiang becoming familiar with Wang Yi and Qi Xiaohao as well, which is why the four of them ended up hanging out together.

As for Hu Lili, she gets along well with everyone, but she is especially close to Qi Xiaohao and Jiang Yue.

Wang Jiang had never quite understood how an outstanding student like Jiang Yue, a rising star in the magic world and a promising candidate for the Imperial Capital Magic University, could be so close to people like Qi Xiaohao and Wang Yi.

Could it be that two number one rankings can attract each other?

At the beginning of the semester, Wang Jiang's impression of Qi Xiaohao and Wang Yi was that they were just friends of friends, and he even felt contempt for their various unreliable behaviors.

However, after a month of getting along and several combat training sessions, Wang Jiang discovered that although Qi Xiaohao and Wang Yi seemed carefree and silly on the surface, they also possessed an extraordinary ruthlessness in their hearts, which made Wang Jiang slightly change his opinion of them.

Otherwise, given his personality, he would never have gotten involved in the duel between Wang Yi and Wu Guan. He was even prepared to ask a group of friends to mediate and abandon the duel, so as to prevent Wang Yi from being beaten too badly.

The fact that Wang Jiang is now able to offer such advice clearly shows that he still considers Wang Yi a friend.

"Actually, this duel isn't entirely without a chance."

Seeing Qi Xiaohao anxiously scratching his head, as if afraid that Wang Yi would back down before the battle even began, Wang Yi couldn't help but smile and say, "I can only say, let's give it a shot and see."

Wang Jiang wondered where Wang Yi's confidence came from. Could it be that she had already secretly absorbed magic and was holding back from unleashing it?

However, since Wang Yi had already said that, he naturally wouldn't try to persuade him any further, lest he annoy people.

So Wang raised an eyebrow and asked, "There's still a while before get out of class ends, how about we spar a couple more times?"

"good!"
