American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

Kamar-Taj, the Temple of the Ancient One.

Wang strode through the door and bowed to the Ancient One, who was sitting cross-legged: "Sorcerer Supreme, a massive explosion has just occurred at the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building in New York."

Gu Yi's hand, holding the teacup, paused in mid-air. She raised her eyelids and glanced at Wang: "It seems the news spreads very quickly."

Wang swallowed hard and quickly reported, "According to the news from the sorcerers of the New York Temple, the helicopter Black Widow was in struck by a flock of birds mid-flight. The plane went out of control and crashed into Nick Fury's office, which caused the explosion."

Gu Yi: "..."

Gu Yi has lived for hundreds of years and knows everything perfectly well.

Helicopters encountering flocks of birds is a low-probability event, let alone S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top-of-the-line aircraft.

Black Widow had just left Kamar-Taj when she got into a car accident, and it's obvious that Lin Jie was involved.

"Supreme Master, about this matter..." Wang asked cautiously.

He was aware of the situation, but he had to report the developments on Earth.

"Never mind, you can go now." Gu Yi waved her hand, too lazy to pursue the matter.

Consider it a lesson for S.H.I.E.L.D., who told them to come to Kamar-Taj and ask questions for no reason.

Seeing that his master didn't care, Wang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left.

Just as Wang stepped out the door, he bumped into Lin Jie, who was strolling over to class.

"Good morning, Senior Brother Wang," Lin Jie greeted him.

Before he could even finish greeting Lin Jie, Wang grabbed his arm, dragged him to a corner, and whispered, "You're still laughing! Something big has happened in New York!"

Lin Jie was taken aback: "What happened?"

Wang stared wide-eyed: "Black Widow's helicopter returning to New York struck a flock of birds and crashed directly into the S.H.I.E.L.D. building! The entire top floor exploded!"

Lin Jie: "..."

This was quite unexpected for Lin Jie.

He just casually sent a blessing blind box, who knew it would cause such a big commotion, even wrecking the plane.

Lin Jie coughed twice, then spread his hands, feigning innocence: "You can't blame me for this, I don't know anything."

Wang rolled his eyes, looking at him with disdain: "Don't give me that! It's definitely your made-up blessing magic that's causing this. The Sorcerer Supreme already knows. I'm telling you this secretly so you're mentally prepared and don't give yourself away."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother."

Lin Jie grinned, turned around, and swaggered into the temple.

Wang originally planned to go practice his skills, but after thinking about it, he was still worried about Lin Jie, that troublemaker, so he turned around and followed him inside.

The two entered the main hall one after the other.

"Good morning, Master." Lin Jie obediently found a futon to sit on.

Gu Yi glanced at Wang, who had followed him in, and asked, "Why are you back again?"

Wang scratched the back of his head and forced himself to make an excuse: "There's nothing much going on in the courtyard today, so I'll stay and observe my junior brother's cultivation progress."

Gu Yi gave him a meaningful look, but didn't chase him away.

She turned to Lin Jie and said seriously, "For the next few days, I won't teach you any new spells. You need to calm down and find a way to increase the upper limit of your magical energy."

There are six fundamental energy attributes in the universe: space, time, reality, power, mind, and soul.

The Ancient One held up one finger and gestured, "You have now come into contact with three things: space, soul, and reality."

"However, your mana bar isn't long enough to support the consumption of these high-level spells. Therefore, increasing your energy limit is the top priority."

Lin Jie nodded repeatedly. This was indeed a major weakness; he could only unleash two powerful moves before he had to shut down, which severely hampered his performance.

After explaining the basic theory, the Ancient One changed the subject: "By the way, how's your training with the Hoggus Ancient Body technique that I taught you before?"

This is a truly divine skill, and the Ancient One has always taken it very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie immediately perked up: "Master, I was just about to tell you. Last night, while I was working on modifying reality spells, an idea suddenly popped into my head. I think this spell goes quite well with alchemy."

The Ancient One smiled slightly: "It's not surprising that any kind of magic can be combined with alchemy in essence."

"Yes," Lin Jie continued, "so I used reality-altering magic, along with alchemy, to casually create a magical artifact. But this thing looks a bit strange."

Magic weapon?

Another magical artifact has been crafted?!

Gu Yi's eyelid twitched.

Last time this kid forged a sword in a stone, what kind of trick will he pull this time?

Not only Gu Yi, but Wang, who was standing next to her, also became interested, and the two of them stared at Lin Jie.

"What did you make?" the Ancient One couldn't help but ask.

Lin Jie reached into the large pocket of his monk's robe, pulled out a red stone, and slammed it onto the wooden table in front of him: "This is it."

Gu Yi and Wang quickly stepped forward to examine it closely.

This is a strangely shaped red stone, semi-transparent on the surface, with what appears to be red liquid flowing inside, exuding an indescribable ancient aura.

Wang Yue looked at it and felt it was increasingly familiar, his brows furrowing deeply: "Supreme Master, don't you think... we've seen this somewhere before?"

Gu Yi stared at the stone, his expression growing increasingly serious: "It does look familiar."

Wang Yi slapped his thigh, suddenly remembering, "I remember now! I saw the portrait in the forbidden section of the library! This thing looks exactly like the Infinity Stones depicted in the book!"

Upon hearing this, the Ancient One's voice changed tone: "Your Majesty, don't you think it looks a lot like... the Reality Stone?"

Wang stared intently at the red stone on the table, swallowing hard. "It looks...it looks so much like it."

What's going on?!

Reality Gem?!

Wang suddenly turned to look at Lin Jie, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an ostrich egg, his normally square face turning into a long, thin shape from shock.

No way?!

Lin Jie, that kid, had nothing better to do, so he used alchemy to conjure a Reality Stone?!

"Supreme Sorcerer, you must be joking, right?"

Wang managed to force a smile; he was on the verge of collapse.
