Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these five days, Wang Yi stayed at the Shangwu Training Hall every night, except when he went to school.

While at school, it was inevitable that I would run into Wu Guan a few times.

Although Wang Yi noticed that Wu Guan's gaze was clearly filled with resentment, even hostility, strangely, the other party did not seem to be looking for trouble.

They would even deliberately avoid Wang Yi.

This made Wang Yi even more wary.

As the saying goes, a barking dog doesn't bite, and Wang Yi felt that Wu Guan was very patient and had a deep mind.

Who knows what big move they're secretly planning?

After school, Wang Yi and Qi Xiaohao parted ways at the school gate, one going home and the other returning to the Shangwu Training Hall, and agreed to meet again at eight o'clock the next day.

As early as when the training list was released, Jiang Yue suggested that everyone gather at the Shangwu Training Hall this weekend to familiarize themselves with their respective magic and conduct some simple teamwork drills.

This is very necessary. Since we have decided to participate in the training, the cooperation between the teams is naturally indispensable.

Even last-minute preparations can be effective, so no one rejected Jiang Yue's suggestion.

Wang Yi had only taken a few steps after parting ways with Qi Xiaohao at the school gate when he was stopped by an unexpected figure.

"Wang Yi, what exactly did you say to Manager Wu?!" Fang Yu blocked Wang Yi's path angrily, her tone already quite harsh: "He's been avoiding me all week, did you threaten him?"

Wang Yi looked puzzled. He had only exchanged glances with Wu Guan a few times this week, without saying a word to him. Fang Yu's question was really inexplicable.

"What does it have to do with me that he's avoiding you?" Wang Yi ignored Fang Yu, said this, and then walked around Fang Yu to leave.

Besides practicing magic and fighting every day, he also has to be wary of Wu Guan's possible retaliation and consider the training arrangements for next Monday. He simply doesn't have the energy to waste on these trivial matters.

"Stop!" Fang Yu's anger intensified when she saw that Wang Yi was trying to avoid her, and she reached out to stop Wang Yi again.

This angry shout immediately attracted the attention of many students at the school gate. Soon, some students recognized Wang Yi and Fang Yu. Combining the duel incident a week ago, their gossip fire was burning fiercely, and they couldn't help but prick up their ears and quietly approach the two of them.

Even Qi Xiaohao, who had already walked far away, rushed towards Wang Yi after hearing the sound.

Wang Yi listened to the whispers around him, felt the various gazes on him, and saw the students who pretended to be nonchalant but were actually gathering around him little by little. He was speechless.

These kids are such a gossipmongers! The entertainment industry in this world must be thriving.

"Excuse me, is there anything else?" Wang Yi asked again, patiently holding back his curiosity.

"Let me tell you, Wang Yi, even if you beat Wu Guan, even if you force Wu Guan to keep avoiding me, I will never like you. Just give up on that idea!" Fang Yu said angrily, as if she were the one being harassed.

Wow!

"Explosive!"

Holy crap!

A few gasps of surprise couldn't help but escape from the crowd.

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaohao's smiling face instantly fell.

"Fang Yu, you... "

Wang Yi calmly stopped Qi Xiaohao, who was about to go berserk.

Although the whispers and pointing around him made Wang Yi uncomfortable, he ultimately decided not to vent his discomfort on the girl in front of him.

Because of Fang Yu's words, the buzz surrounding him that was finally brought down by the Lingnan Shaqiao training incident at school this week will likely rebound instantly, once again becoming a hot topic among gossipers.

Wang Yi thought for a moment, then said in a very calm tone, "Okay, I understand. I apologize, and I promise I will never bother you again. I will also delete your contact information. Is that alright?"

Wang Yi could have presented the facts and reasoned with her. In the past two weeks, he hadn't taken the initiative to contact Fang Yu at all, and he had even deleted Fang Yu's contact information long ago. Now it was Fang Yu who took the initiative to bother him.

She hadn't exchanged a single word with Wu Guan, let alone forced Wu Guan to stay away from Fang Yu.

However, saying this only helps Wang Yi save face and causes greater harm to Fang Yu; it has no other meaning.

Regardless of the circumstances, Wang Yi's original self was constantly harassed by Fang Yu. Now that Wang Yi has inherited this identity, she should accept this responsibility.

Moreover, the reason Fang Yu went to such lengths to find him was because of Wu Guan's current attitude towards Fang Yu.

The young couple had just started dating and hadn't even enjoyed their honeymoon phase for a few days when things suddenly turned out like this.

Whatever the real reason for Wu Guan's change in attitude, it certainly happened after Wang Yi defeated Wu Guan.

Although the essence of the duel had long since deviated from its original course, the outcome of the duel still affected Fang Yu.

From this perspective, Wang Yi does indeed bear some responsibility.

Therefore, Wang Yi did not refute Fang Yu's words, but instead acquiesced to Fang Yu's accusations, completely placing himself in the position of the perpetrator, and promising not to bother her again in the future.

"Fang Yu, let go..."

Hearing Wang Yi say that, Qi Xiaohao was naturally unwilling. He was about to speak up for Wang Yi, but was stopped by a look from Wang Yi and had to swallow his words again.

Enraged, Qi Xiaohao's already round figure swelled up even more, his belly becoming even more distended.

After hearing Wang Yi's apology and assurances, Fang Yu felt somewhat bewildered and at a loss.

She knew, of course, that Wang Yi hadn't bothered her for the past two weeks and had already deleted her from his friends list.

She used to receive long, warm messages from Wang Yi, but since Wang Yi jumped off the building, she has never received any messages from him again.

Moreover, a couple of days ago she wanted to send a message to Wang Yi to question him, but when she sent the message, she saw a red exclamation mark instead.

Fang Yu then realized that she had already been deleted by Wang Yi.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to confront Wang Yi directly.

Seeing Wang Yi's behavior now, Fang Yu understands that the reason Wu Guan is avoiding her is probably not because of Wang Yi's coercion.

Wu Guan is now avoiding her, and Wang Yi's attitude towards her has suddenly changed 180 degrees. There are also many classmates watching and gossiping.

Although most of her classmates were on her side, criticizing Wang Yi for being persistent and a jerk, Fang Yu felt inexplicably resentful and aggrieved.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but Fang Yu's pride prevented them from falling.

"That would be for the best." In the end, Fang Yu left those words firmly, then turned and left.

With the female lead gone, the onlookers gradually dispersed, but Wang Yi's image in their hearts is likely to plummet to the bottom again.

Hearing the conversations of his classmates, Qi Xiaohao became even angrier.

"Brother E, why won't you let me tell the truth? Fang Yu, she..."

"Alright, Xiao Hao." Wang Yi patted Qi Xiao Hao on the shoulder, interrupting him, "Let's leave it at that. After all, my previous actions caused trouble for others, didn't they?"

"But······"

"No buts. I know you're capable of going up against others, but let's leave it at that. And you're not allowed to cause trouble for Fang Yu in the future, okay?"

"Alright." Although Qi Xiaohao was unhappy, he still listened to Wang Yi's opinion.

"Alright, go back now. We're meeting at eight tomorrow morning, don't be late."

Wang Yi turned Qi Xiaohao's body around and then pushed him from behind.

Qi Xiaohao hesitated, but ultimately left, turning back every few steps.

After seeing Qi Xiaohao off, Wang Yi took out his earphones, put them on, turned on his music player, and started running towards the Shangwu Training Hall.

Having resolved the matter with Fang Yu, Wang Yi felt somewhat relieved, and it could be considered that he had settled a karmic debt with the original owner of this body.

However, Fang Yu's appearance served as a reminder to Wang Yi: would Wu Guan really be so willing to accept defeat?

If Wu Guan really intends to take revenge on me, then wouldn't it be a bit redundant for him to follow the bet and separate from Fang Yu?

Or is this all just to lull him into a false sense of security?

"Never mind, there's always a way out."

Unable to figure it out, Wang Yi stopped thinking about it.
