Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

To be honest, Wang Yi didn't take the duel too seriously, because he had already made up his mind.

Fight if you can win, and admit defeat if you can't. That way, you won't put yourself in danger because of reputation, criticism, or ridicule.

The reason for absorbing the Flame Cloud Qilin Magic Crystal was not only because I didn't want to just watch over it for several years, but also because of the team training that Jiang Yue had revealed.

For Wang Yi, the duel might just be a minor, impending event, but for Qi Xiaohao, it was clearly not.

Wang Yi didn't care about her reputation or the ridicule she would face after her failure, but Qi Xiaohao cared a lot about it.

As Wang Yi's best friend, Qi Xiaohao would never allow Wang Yi to be utterly defeated in his duel with Wu Guan, and then have to endure the pointing fingers, ridicule, and mockery of his classmates for the next three years.

Although Wang Yi's original grades were terrible, and he was even nicknamed "Student with an E grade", that didn't matter.

For a normal combat-oriented mage, magical prowess is always the top priority; academic performance is merely secondary. Unless one aspires to become a professional researcher, few people would care about it.

Qi Xiaohao had already secretly planned that if his underhanded methods failed to stop Wu Guan and Wang Yi still lost the duel, he would transfer schools with Wang Yi.

They couldn't stay at Lanling Magic High School; there were plenty of magic high schools across the country that would want them.

It's nothing more than buying another villa near the new school and moving to a different city. Anyway, Wang Yi has no other relatives besides him.

Of course, Qi Xiaohao did not mention these plans to Wang Yi. On the one hand, he wanted to protect Wang Yi's self-esteem and avoid putting pressure on her. On the other hand, Qi Xiaohao did not want to interfere too much with Wang Yi's decision and would only support it.

Even if it's outrageous how Fang Yu pesters him relentlessly, or even if it's outrageous how Wang Yi challenges Wu Guan to a duel, Qi Xiaohao will support him as long as Wang Yi wants to.

As for right or wrong, that's not important.

If it weren't for wanting to confirm Wang Yi's strength, Qi Xiaohao wouldn't have revealed his plan to target Wu Guan.

Wang Yi was completely unaware of Qi Xiaohao's thoughts, but he could sense Qi Xiaohao's genuine feelings for him.

In the past, Wang Yi was dissolute, and Qi Xiaohao went along with his dissolute ways. Now that Wang Yi is working hard, Qi Xiaohao has also started to work hard.

It seems that the meaning of Qi Xiaohao's entire life is to always stand firmly behind Wang Yi, follow her step by step, and give her support without reservation.

Although Wang Yi didn't understand why Qi Xiaohao acted this way, since he had inherited Wang Yi's identity, she had no choice but to accept this feeling.

The hardest debt to repay is a debt of gratitude; since ancient times, sincerity has been exchanged for sincerity.

Although Wang Yi has only been in this world for less than ten days, he has already been influenced by Qi Xiaohao, Bai Yu, Wang Jiangjiang, the principal, and all his experiences.

From the initial caution and forbearance to accepting the identity, accepting Qi Xiaohao, accepting friends and teachers, and accepting the world.

Embrace yourself and unleash your true nature.

So Wang Yi asked Qi Xiaohao to bring him the magic crystal of the Flame Cloud Qilin.

In the future, Qi Xiaohao will only need to think for a little while to discover that Wang Yi can absorb special magic.

Therefore, Wang Yi accepted Qi Xiaohao's challenge to a fight, allowing Qi Xiaohao to witness his strength as he wished, and he held nothing back throughout the entire battle.

He needs to give Qi Xiaohao some confidence.

The result of this battle was that Wang Yi discovered that Qi Xiaohao was not just a lighter mage, but his control over the fireball spell was indeed terrible.

And it was only after Wang Yi exhausted all his magic power to release the Healing Spell that Qi Xiaohao was able to retain his human form.

Despite the crushing defeat, Qi Xiaohao was incredibly excited and immediately declared that he wanted to host a banquet at the most expensive Emperor Hotel in Lanling City to thank Wang Jiang and Jiang Yue.

And so this banquet came about.

At the dinner table, Qi Xiaohao raised his glass and toasted everyone in turn.

"Old Wang, no, Brother Wang!" Qi Xiaohao came running over to Wang Jiang and put his arm around Wang Jiang's shoulder.

"Brother Wang, I won't say much in thanks. Just let me know if you need anything in the future."

Wang Jiang didn't know what had gotten into Qi Xiaohao today, that he was so excited, but he still clinked glasses with Qi Xiaohao.

Qi Xiaohao downed his drink in one gulp, then went to Jiang Yue and said, "Brother Jiang, the same goes for you. Just let me know if you need anything in the future!"

Jiang Yue smiled slightly and raised his glass to clink with his.

Finally, when they arrived at Hu Lili's place, Qi Xiaohao laughed heartily and said, "Lili, if you ever need anything, just come to me."

The most clueless one here is Hu Lili; all she knows is that Wang Yi has recently been learning martial arts from Wang Jiang.

However, since Qi Xiaohao said that, Hu Lili naturally responded with a sweet smile: "Thank you, Brother Xiaohao."

The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.

After the banquet, Qi Xiaohao found a car to take Hu Lili home, then said goodbye to Wang Jiang and Jiang Yue, and returned home with Wang Yi in Xu Jun's car.

Looking at the ambiguous city night view outside the car window, Wang Yi's gaze was momentarily hazy, but he was quickly awakened by Qi Xiaohao's snoring beside him.

Although he was only drinking low-alcohol fruit wine, Qi Xiaohao couldn't resist guzzling it down, and naturally he got drunk.

Wang Yi smiled slightly and took out a mid-level magic crystal.

This magic crystal was given to him by Qi Xiaohao. He just received it this afternoon; it was shipped from overseas through special channels.

The shipping cost alone far exceeds the value of this mid-level magic crystal.

This magic crystal originated from the interdimensional passage between Gaul and was named the Angel of Light. It was a unique magical beast from Gaul and contained an extremely powerful and rare-grade healing magic.

Magic crystals are a type of controlled resource, and these are especially true for magic crystals, which are highly localized and extremely rare.

It's not easy to get even from Gaul, let alone smuggling it all the way to Qi Xiaohao.

No one knows how long Qi Xiaohao begged his parents, or how much effort and money they spent, to get three mid-level magic crystals.

To increase Wang Yi's chances of absorbing medical magic, Qi Xiaohao gave all three magic crystals to Wang Yi at once.

Wang Yi quietly gazed at the magical information within the mid-tier magic crystal.

Illumination [Rare]: Releases a ball of light for illumination (can be absorbed).

Healing Ray [Rare]: Releases a ray of light that heals injuries and can connect to multiple targets simultaneously (can be absorbed).

Light Cage [Rare]: A cage constructed from light. The stronger the light, the more sturdy the cage (can absorb light).

Holy Light Judgment Spear [Divine]: Infused with holy light, this spear inflicts high temperatures and penetrating damage (cannot be absorbed).

Wang Yi turned his gaze back to the car window, the magic crystal in his hand gradually dimming.

I opened a crack and felt the magical night breeze brush against my eyes.

The rainbow lights are dazzling, and the building is magnificent.

A murmured word, carried by the night wind, travels towards a more distant landscape.

"That's wonderful..."
