American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

"Professor X?"

"Yes, he's a mutant." The Ancient One stood up, put her hands behind her back, and began to explain to Lin Jie, "Besides us sorcerers and those superhumans, there's a special group on Earth called mutants. They are an accident left behind by the Creator."

"An accident?" Lin Jie was more and more confused as he listened.

"They are different from us; they don't need to painstakingly cultivate magical energy. Their abilities come from genetic mutations," the Ancient One patiently explained. "Each mutant usually has only one superpower, and their lifelong training is to develop that one ability to its peak."

Gu Yi felt that since Lin Jie was going to take over sooner or later, it was time to let him learn about the various forces on Earth.

"So, the person who stopped me just now was Professor X?" Lin Jie asked.

"Yes, his name is Charles, and his ability is ultimate telepathy." Gu Yi looked at Lin Jie. "However, he probably went easy on you just now."

Lin Jie was somewhat unconvinced: "Hold back? Why did he attack me for no reason?"

This is indeed a problem.

Gu Yi was also puzzled.

Charles has always kept a low profile. He runs a school to take in homeless mutants and is dedicated to maintaining world peace.

Logically speaking, he couldn't just randomly grab someone over New York and unleash a mental storm for no reason.

Unless... something really big happened in New York?

"I don't know the specific reason." Gu Yi shook her head, her tone becoming very serious. "But you must remember, Professor X is definitely not someone to be trifled with. If you run into him again next time, don't be so headstrong as to confront him like you did today unless you're absolutely certain of victory."

Lin Jie stroked his chin: "Is this bald old man really that powerful?"

"If he goes all out..." The Ancient One's voice was low, "he could control the minds of millions of people in New York City in the blink of an eye, and even cause them to collectively suffer brain death."

Lin Jie's eyelids twitched suddenly after hearing this.

A single thought could wipe out millions?

This destructive power is indeed a bit abnormal.

"Master, will we be able to reach his level in the end if we practice our mind magic to the very end?"

Lin Jie's fighting spirit was instantly ignited.

"Of course you can." Gu Yi nodded affirmatively. "Mind magic becomes stronger as you progress. If you can perfectly fuse mind magic and soul magic and cultivate them to their peak, you can generate 'divine consciousness'."

"Divine consciousness?"

"Yes, with divine consciousness, you can transcend the barriers of dimensions and communicate directly with the five primordial gods without any obstacles."

Gu Yi was also giving Lin Jie some pointers, pointing out the direction for his future cultivation.

She herself was able to connect with the Eternal Emperor only through her divine sense.

"I see, I understand now!"

Lin Jie slapped his thigh excitedly, feeling like he had found a new goal.

"Alright, you've had enough for today. Mind magic is exhausting, go back to your dorm and rest." The Ancient One directly told him to leave.

She needs to be alone right now.

Watching Lin Jie hum a tune as he left the main hall, Gu Yi let out a long sigh.

Lin Jie, that kid, has only been in Kamar-Taj for a little over a month!

In just over a month, he mastered spatial magic, astral projection, reality manipulation... and now he even mastered the most difficult mind magic in less than two hours! He can even go toe-to-toe with Professor X!

This growth rate is like a rocket launch, it's terrifying.

Gu Yi sat back down on the futon, her brow furrowed, lost in deep anxiety.

The apprentice is too smart, so the pressure on the master is really great.

The biggest headache for the Ancient One right now is that at this rate, the library in Kamar-Taj will soon be completely ransacked by this kid.

What the hell am I supposed to teach him tomorrow?!

......

After Lin Jie left, Gu Yi sat alone in the empty temple, staring at the teacup on the table, lost in thought for a long time.

Finally, she sighed and waved her hand to cast a sound transmission spell.

A short while later, Wang and Mordo rushed in one after the other.

"Master, you were looking for us?"

The two bowed respectfully.

Gu nodded, looking at the two pillars of Kamar-Taj, and slowly said, "It seems like it's been a few days since I had a proper chat with you two."

Upon hearing this, both Wang and Mordo felt a jolt in their hearts.

The two looked at each other and, which were originally half a meter apart, unconsciously moved closer together.

In Kamar-Taj, everyone knows one rule.

The Venerable Master usually lives a carefree life, but if she initiates a meeting, it's never anything good!

Mordo swallowed hard and tentatively asked, "Master... has Junior Brother gotten into trouble again? Did he offend an old man from Asgard this time, or a demon from the Dark Dimension?"

In their subconscious, the only reason that would make the Ancient One hold such a serious meeting was if Lin Jie had caused such a terrible disaster. After all, that kid had a long criminal record.

Gu Yi shook her head and turned her back: "I didn't cause any trouble. I called you here because I discovered that Lin Jie's abilities have improved again."

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Hi!

scare someone to death.

Isn't improving one's skills a good thing?

With their junior brother's freakish talent, they wouldn't be surprised if he leveled up twice a day.

"Master, improving skills is a good thing, why do we need to hold a special meeting to talk about it?"

Wang scratched the back of his head, somewhat puzzled.

Ancient One turned around, her deep eyes looking at them: "It's not just his magical energy that's increased. In the process of teaching him, I've discovered that his comprehension and talent seem to be growing as well."

king:"???"

Modu: "???"

The temple suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

The two stood rooted to the spot like wooden stakes, their mouths slightly agape, their faces filled with huge question marks.

What did the driver just say? The signal was bad, I couldn't hear him clearly.

Not only can it enhance magic power, but it can also improve comprehension and talent?!

Mordo rubbed his ears vigorously, looking at the Ancient One incredulously: "Master, haven't you been getting enough rest lately? Why don't you go take another nap?"

It's not that Mo Du is so rebellious as to dare to question his master, but rather that this statement is simply too anti-human!

Looking across the entire universe, whether they are mages or aliens, who doesn't know that talent and comprehension are innate?

To give an example, it's like playing an RPG game. You gain experience points and increase your health bar by defeating monsters and leveling up. That's common sense.

Have you ever seen anyone forcibly increase a character's initial strength and intelligence stats while fighting monsters?!

This isn't an upgrade, this is cheating and tampering with the underlying code!

"I'm in excellent spirits." The Ancient One ignored Mordo's doubts, her expression more serious than ever before. "I'm not joking with you. Under normal circumstances, with Lin Jie's original talent, it would have taken him at least three days to even scratch the surface and be able to spar with a master if he wanted to master mind magic."

"But just now!" The Ancient One emphasized, "He stood here for less than two hours. Not only did he completely master mind magic, his mental energy covering the entire Kamar-Taj, but he even rushed through the portal to New York, directly confronting Professor X, the leader of the mutants, and forcing him to retreat!"

boom!

Two thunderbolts exploded directly in Wang and Mordo's minds.

Two hours?

Covering Kamar-Taj?

They forced Professor X, the most powerful psychic mutant on Earth, to retreat?!

Wang's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

He stared with wide eyes, stammering, "Master...Master, do you think Junior Brother...is he really human? Could he be a dummy created by some creator god using pure magical energy?"

Wang was genuinely frightened.

Is this even something a human could do?

He achieved in two hours what others might not reach even after decades of hard work, and could easily elevate his "fixed attributes"!

What kind of magical deity has Kamar-Taj summoned?!

Mordo's face was ashen. He had still held onto a sliver of hope of catching up, but now that hope had been utterly crushed to dust by the Ancient One's words.

Not only are they stronger than you, but their leveling speed is also constantly accelerating!

How can anyone live like this!

Seeing the bewildered expressions on her two disciples' faces, Gu Yi finally revealed the true purpose of the meeting.

"I've been really torn about calling you all here today," the Ancient One sighed. "I've been thinking, should I continue teaching Lin Jie magic, or should I just make him the Sorcerer Supreme?"

Wang and Modu were taken aback again.

To simply abdicate? That's taking too big a step!

Modu quickly composed himself and advised, "Master, it's a good thing that Junior Brother has a strong learning ability. Why don't you continue to teach him more? It's not too late for him to take over the class once he has a more solid foundation."

Upon hearing Mordo's suggestion, Gu Yi gave a bitter laugh, her eyes filled with deep helplessness and exhaustion.

"Teach more?" Gu Yi shook her head. "Do you think I don't want to teach? My biggest problem right now is..."

"I've run out of things to teach him!"

king:"……"

Modu: "..."

We can't talk today.

This is probably the first time since the founding of Kamar-Taj that a master has learned so much from his apprentice that he has nothing left to teach!
