American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

Gu Yi originally only intended to stand outside the door and see what her apprentice had done.

The more I looked at it, the more something seemed off.

The dormitory wasn't filled with ordinary clones, but a group of living, breathing, and absolutely stunningly handsome men!

Wild and muscular men, refined scoundrels, domineering CEOs... all sorts of people, all staring at her with mesmerizing eyes, even exuding their charm.

Having lived for centuries, Gu Yi had long since become detached from worldly desires.

But at this moment, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and his hands trembled slightly uncontrollably.

She took a deep breath, trying to look away, but found she couldn't.

Just as she dodged the muscular man's eight-pack abs, she was met with the CEO's seductive gaze.

More than three thousand clones, more than three thousand styles—it's like bringing over all the best items from the entire universe.

"No! I am the Sorcerer Supreme! How can I let my disciple's magic cloud my judgment!"

Ancient One screamed inwardly, while quickly chanting a calming incantation: "In the name of Vishan Emperor, may evil spirits be swiftly dispelled..."

I read it twice, but it was completely useless!

Her gaze remained fixed on the group of handsome men, unable to look away.

Centuries of cultivation almost crumbled in front of a group of handsome men.

She could only grip the folding fan tightly in her hand, desperately trying to maintain the image of a sage with an expressionless face, while inwardly she was already wailing in despair.

Sin!

With a whoosh.

The illusions filling the room vanished instantly, and Lin Jie withdrew his magic.

"Huh? Master, what are you doing outside the door?"

Lin Jie turned his head and came face to face with Gu Yi standing straight at the door. He quickly stepped forward and bowed.

Gu Yi's thoughts were abruptly pulled back. She coughed twice to cover her embarrassment, forcing her tone to sound very authoritative: "What nonsense were you just doing?"

Lin Jie scratched his head and confessed truthfully, "I fused my three thousand divine and demonic avatars with Hoggus' ancient body to create a new spell, but I don't know its specific effects. Master, you're so knowledgeable, how about I demonstrate it for you again, and you help me name it?"

Show it again?!

"No need!" Ancient One refused decisively, but on the surface she pretended to be nonchalant. "Your spell has a strong hallucinogenic effect, so let's call it 'psychedelic magic'."

Lin Jie suddenly realized what was going on and asked curiously, "Master, you were watching for so long, did you also fall for the trick?"

Gu remained unfazed, firmly stating, "Nonsense. With your current level, you can't affect me. Focus your attention on the right path from now on."

Lin Jie, oblivious to his master's predicament, seized the opportunity to offer his new idea: "Master, I've realized that relying solely on one's own mana to cast spells is too inefficient. Could we combine magic with modern technology to create some automatically recharging magical artifacts?"

Upon hearing this, the Ancient One paused, her expression instantly turning extremely serious: "The fusion of technology and magic has indeed been done before. There was a genius named Victor, known to the outside world as Doctor Doom. He was an unparalleled genius who mastered both magic and technology, and he even created a time machine. Unfortunately, in the end, his mind was consumed, and he succumbed to darkness."

"If you can successfully navigate this path, your chances of winning will naturally be much greater when you face him in the future."

Gu Yi gave a heartfelt word of encouragement.

As they were talking, Wang strode over from the other end of the courtyard.

After a brief bow, Wang reported, "Sorcerer Supreme, Tony Stark has arrived. He says he wants to have an academic exchange with you. But what is a mortal in iron armor doing here at Kamar-Taj?"

Gu Yi knew perfectly well that Stark was probably there because of the strange phenomena on the street a few days ago.

She turned to Lin Jie and said, "Stark's technological knowledge should be inspiring for you. Also, try to avoid doing any unorthodox magic in the future!"

After saying that, Gu Yi turned and walked towards the reception room.

As soon as Gu Yi left, Wang immediately came over to ask, "Junior Brother, what did Master mean by 'unorthodox magic'?"

Lin Jie grinned mischievously, "Senior Brother Wang, would you like to experience my new invention for yourself?"

Caught off guard, Wang patted his chest and declared, "Bring it on! Let me see what you've got!"

Lin Jie instantly activated his magic, and the illusion magic was directly applied to Wang's face.

Wang's eyes widened, and he froze on the spot.

Just two seconds later.

puff!

Two streams of bright red blood gushed directly from Wang's nostrils!

While haphazardly wiping his nosebleed, Wang trembled with excitement, his face beaming with a lecherous grin: "Beautiful...all of them are absolutely stunning beauties! All kinds! Junior brother, this isn't magic, it's a paradise for men!"

"Quickly put away the magic," Lin Jie stroked his chin, having finally understood the principle.

"I see. This illusion magic generates illusions based on the subconscious of the person affected. Master was watching from outside the door for a long time just now..." Lin Jie muttered.

Wang was stunned, his mind racing, his eyes widening: "Wait a minute! Master is a woman. She was staring for so long? Did she see three thousand incredibly handsome men?! And she was in a daze for so long?!"

The two exchanged a glance and instantly understood why the Ancient One had described the magic as "unorthodox."

Wang wiped the blood from his chin, swallowed hard, and muttered to himself, "Sure enough, who in their right mind would learn magic!"

As Wang savored the breathtaking scenery he had just witnessed, he followed Lin Jie toward the Ancient One Temple.

As soon as Lin Jie stepped through the temple gate, he saw several familiar faces standing inside.

Besides the Ancient One sitting on the futon, there was Mordo standing next to him with a dark face, and Thor, who had changed into a new pair of pants and looked very aggrieved.

The most conspicuous figure was Tony Stark, standing in the very center of the hall, dressed in an expensive suit.

Hey! Tin Man!

As soon as Thor saw Stark, he started yelling at him in his loud voice.

Stark frowned, patting his suit sleeve with a look of disdain. "Big guy, let me correct you, I'm Iron Man. But judging from your outfit, I guess your brain can't hold any other words besides 'muscles'."

Thor was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at the ground. He grabbed his hammer, ready to show off his skills.

Stark completely ignored Thor's threat, walked straight up to Lin Jie, and extended his right hand.

"Hey kid. I haven't formally introduced myself yet. I'm Tony Stark, you can call me Stark or Tony. Brilliant inventor, billionaire."

Stark raised his chin slightly, with his usual confidence and pride.

When Stark introduced himself, Lin Jie didn't respond immediately. Instead, he stared intently at Stark's chest.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Stark's right hand, raised in mid-air, stopped awkwardly.

As the head of Stark Industries, he is always the center of attention wherever he goes in the United States. When has he ever been ignored like this?

"Master, what's Stark doing here?"

Lin Jie ignored Stark and instead turned to look at the Ancient One.

The Ancient One picked up her teacup and explained unhurriedly, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to combine magic with modern technology? Mr. Stark is one of the world's top technological geniuses. His knowledge might help you turn your idea into reality."

Upon hearing his master's words, Lin Jie suddenly realized what was going on.

Stark awkwardly withdrew his right hand, suppressing his displeasure, and straightened his tie: "The Sorcerer Supreme mentioned your idea to me. The fusion of technology and magic? It sounds crazy, but I like challenges. If you think the brutes in this room are too noisy, we can find a quiet laboratory to have a proper chat."

As he spoke, Stark glanced at Thor beside him.

Thor stomped his feet in anger: "Stark! You came to Kamar-Taj not to see me?! What are you doing here with this brat?!"

"What are you looking at? To see you get beaten up?"

Stark retorted without holding back, "I'm only interested in smart people."

Thor's face turned red, and he sat down on the ground, sulking in anger.

Stark turned to look at Lin Jie again, only to find that Lin Jie still didn't respond.

Stark's patience finally ran out.

He turned to look at the Ancient One, his tone tinged with annoyance: "Sorcerer Supreme, are all the apprentices of Kamar-Taj this arrogant and rude all the time? I turned down several contracts worth hundreds of millions just to stay and help out."

Gu Yi didn't defend Lin Jie; she simply put down her teacup and calmly asked, "Lin Jie, what are you thinking about?"

Upon hearing his master call his name, Lin Jie waved to Stark, "Excuse me, Mr. Stark. I was looking at your suit model just now, and an upgrade plan suddenly popped into my head."

"Upgrade my armor?"

Stark felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

He has the smartest brain on Earth!

The Iron Man suit is the culmination of his life's work and represents the highest level of technology on Earth.

A magic apprentice who didn't even graduate from high school, and he just asks to upgrade his armor?
