Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

On Monday, Wang Yi stepped into the classroom as the morning reading bell rang.

The classroom, which should have been orderly, was now divided into several small groups.

Qi Xiaohao, Jiang Yue, Wang Jiang, Hu Lili, and even Chen Zhengkai were surrounded by many classmates asking them all sorts of questions.

After all, the fact that they were able to return safely after wandering around Lingnan Shaqiao was sure to ignite the students' curiosity.

Wang Yi had anticipated this situation, so after entering the school gate with Qi Xiaohao, they immediately separated.

Qi Xiaohao went back to the classroom to brag, while Wang Yi rushed into the school cafeteria to fill his stomach, so as not to be surrounded by his classmates when he returned to the classroom.

In the classroom, Chen Zhengkai, who was already introverted, wished he could bury his head in his desk and hide. However, his head was a bit big, so he could only stammer and barely manage to answer his classmates' questions.

Compared to him, Qi Xiaohao is the other extreme.

He had one leg on a stool, his hands flailing wildly, spitting as he spoke, answering every question without hesitation, as if he were holding a press conference.

Wang Yi overheard a couple of sentences as he passed by, then quickly returned to his seat, feeling utterly speechless.

This kid can brag all he wants, but why drag him into it?

In Qi Xiaohao's description, Wang Yi was practically the core of the team, saving lives countless times with his healing beam.

They portrayed Wang Yi as the kind of werewolf who could snatch back his teammates' souls even in front of the King of Hell, and incidentally slap the King of Hell across the face.

Moreover, he can not only heal but also fight. In Lingnan Sand Bridge, he punched the Fire Pattern Black-tailed Leopard, kicked the Golden Body Fighting Ape, withstood the Flame Sparrow's World-Destroying Flame, and suppressed the Azure Phoenix's Protective Ring.

Even the mental insects were eventually manipulated by Wang Yi.

It was as if a demon had descended from heaven; it was truly a god of war on earth.

Wang Yi was so embarrassed that he wished he could just wrap the chubby boy's mouth with tape eighteen times.

Even boasting has to follow basic rules.

Fortunately, the classmates all knew Qi Xiaohao's personality, so they just laughed and joked with him.

Filter out three-tenths of what Qi Xiaohao says, then reduce it by another three-tenths, and finally only believe three-tenths.

Just listen to it for fun; it's not as enjoyable as listening to a storyteller.

Although Wang Yi decisively defeated Wu Guan in one battle, he redeemed himself in front of his classmates.

However, most students' impression of Wang Yi is still that of a rather reckless healer.

Several classmates saw Wang Yi enter the classroom and hurriedly came up to him to ask if what Qi Xiaohao said was true.

Wang Yi naturally gave a triple denial: I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense.

Then they directly attributed the main credit to Jiang Yue and General Wang.

This shows that these two are the real big DPS, and he's just an ordinary healer throwing healing spells from behind.

Wang Yi's explanation was clearly much more credible than Qi Xiaohao's, and no one really took Qi Xiaohao's boasting seriously.

This put Wang Yi at ease.

After finally getting through the morning reading session, Wang Yi pulled Qi Xiaohao aside and seriously criticized his boasting, and also put him on hold.

It wasn't that Wang Yi was intentionally hiding his talents; he just really didn't want to become the focus of his classmates' attention anymore.

Whether or not there's gossip at this school is none of his business; he's really tired.

Lanling isn't big, so it's good for creating gossip, right?

Without Wang Yi, will the entertainment industry at Lanling Magic High School fall apart?

After that, it was just normal classes, lunch break, more classes, and school over.

The pace of learning at school is much more relaxed than at Lingnan Shaqiao.

An ordinary Monday ended, but on his way home from school, Wang Yi encountered an unexpected person.

It wasn't exactly an encounter; since the other party was here, it was clear they came prepared and specifically came to ambush him.

Qi Xiaohao, standing next to Wang Yi, preemptively looked around and said, "Hey, Young Master Wu, what's going on? If you're going to block me and Brother E, you alone won't be enough."

"I..." Wu Guan on the other side completely ignored Qi Xiaohao's words, staring at Wang Yi with a somewhat conflicted expression as he opened his mouth, but ultimately did not continue speaking.

Wang Yi frowned slightly upon seeing this. It had been quite some time since Wu Guan's incident. Before, Wu Guan would always avoid him when he saw him at school. Why would he suddenly block him on the way home from school today?

Fortunately, this place is already some distance from the school; otherwise, the confrontation between Wu Guan and Wang Yi would probably have attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

Who knows what kind of gossip will be circulating in the school's entertainment circle tomorrow?

However, judging from Wu Guan's current state, he probably wasn't there to cause trouble, which reassured Wang Yi a lot.

Wu Guan couldn't beat him before, and now Wu Guan is even less of a match for him. If Wu Guan causes trouble for no reason, Wang Yi might not be able to tolerate it.

It wasn't that Wang Yi was afraid of Wu Guan, but it was just that he kept chasing after the son of the soon-to-be top official in the Lanling City education system and beating him up. What kind of behavior was that?

"Get to the point. If you haven't thought it through, wait until you have." Wang Yi wasn't going to waste any more time with Wu Guan.

Time is free, isn't it? I still need to cultivate myself after I get home.

The constant flow of pedestrians on the street made Wu Guan feel a little uncomfortable, so he sighed and said, "Let's find a quiet place to talk."

"Alright." Qi Xiaohao chuckled coldly, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "There's an alley ahead; let's go in and talk."

Although Qi Xiaohao was fat, he was quite tall. Standing in front of Wu Guan, and considering what he had just said, from an outsider's perspective, he really did have the air of a bully.

Wu Guan tensed his jaw muscles, took a deep breath, and said, word by word, "What I mean is, let's find a quiet place and sit down to talk."

Qi Xiaohao scratched his head awkwardly. It turned out the other party wasn't there to cause trouble, so he couldn't bring himself to be ruthless.

"Let's go." Wang Yi glanced at Wu Guan and led the way.

He wanted to see what Wu Guan was really up to.

After walking for a short while, Wang Yi randomly picked a coffee shop on the roadside that looked decent.

After the three entered, they chose a relatively quiet spot and ordered a few drinks.

But even after the coffee was served, Wu Guan remained hesitant and didn't say a word.

Wang Yi picked up his coffee and took a sip, gradually losing patience: "If you don't say anything before I finish my coffee, then there's no point in saying anything at all."

Qi Xiaohao chimed in with a very江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) spirit, "Exactly! What do you want? Let's draw a line. Losing once isn't enough? How about a one-on-one fight or a group brawl?"

"I..." Wu Guan clenched his fists under the table, but he didn't dwell too much on Qi Xiaohao's attitude.

He knew that Wang Yi was the one who could make the decision, so he made up his mind and said:

"I want to withdraw from the bet."
