American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

The Ancient One's words echoed in the temple. The King and Mordo exchanged a glance and remained silent.

Wang Tai could understand her master's feelings.

He had been Lin Jie's mentor for a while and knew how freakish the kid's learning speed was.

You've barely finished explaining the basic theory when he can unleash a powerful move and completely overwhelm you.

The feeling of being forced to learn how to be a person by students can drive you to question your very existence.

Wang sighed, thinking to himself: Even the Supreme Mage is so worried, it seems that everyone feels the same way when facing a true genius.

"Master, since Junior Brother has almost mastered the theoretical knowledge of Kamar-Taj, why don't you just let him go out and explore? Consider it a practical training exercise." Wang made a suggestion, forcing himself to speak.

Gu Yi frowned slightly, shook the small fan in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Should we send them out for actual combat?

The Ancient One had considered this idea before.

Lin Jie indeed grew the fastest through actual combat.

The problem is, given Lin Jie's current monstrous strength, the number of people on the entire planet who can hold their own against him for even a couple of moves can probably be counted on one hand.

Moreover, what the Ancient One was most worried about was not the lack of sparring partners, but that this troublemaker might become the enemy of the entire multiverse when he returned from his trip!

How could Gu Yi not know what kind of temperament her own disciple had?

His skills are undeniable, but his mentality is still that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. He acts solely on his whims and never considers the consequences.

You count on your fingers. How many days has Lin Jie been learning magic?

Odin, the god-king of Asgard; Hela, the goddess of death; S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York; Professor X, the mutant leader; Dormammu from the Dark Dimension; and Thanos, the cosmic overlord of outer space! Oh, and he even stole hundreds of tons of vibranium from Wakanda the other day!

Whether he took the initiative or was forced into trouble, this kid has offended every big shot he could!

If we let him out now, with that gleaming sword in the stone in his hand, if he gets targeted by those old monsters from the Merlin family, it'll be another bunch of trouble.

This kid has so many magical treasures that he's like a mobile treasure trove, and his mana bar is as thick as a bottomless pit.

What if one day he gets into a fight outside and manages to cleave through the barrier of the multiverse with a single sword strike...

The thought of those true big shots slumbering deep within the multiverse sent chills down Gu Yi's spine.

"No." The Ancient One decisively rejected the King's suggestion. "We can't let him leave the Kamar-Taj jurisdiction for now. That kid is too likely to cause a huge mess."

Wang and Mordo nodded. Indeed, releasing Lin Jie was no different from releasing a nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment.

"Since we can't go out, we should at least find something to do in the yard, right?"

Modu's eyes darted around, and suddenly an idea came to him.

"Master, have you forgotten? There's still a green fat guy locked up in one of our guest rooms at Kamar-Taj!"

Hulk!

Loki carelessly opened a portal and threw Hulk directly into Kamar-Taj.

Although Lin Jie had fought with Hulk before, Hulk is tough and still alive and kicking in the yard.

"Master, a mage's body is ultimately fragile. Although Lin Jie has strong magic, his melee combat skills still need training." Mordo seemed increasingly convinced it was a good idea. "Why not have him give up using magic and fight the Hulk purely with his physical strength! The Hulk is a tough punching bag!"

Modu's intentions were quite clear.

The Hulk destroyed many houses in Kamar-Taj before, and that debt still needs to be settled.

Let Lin Jie beat him up, consider it interest.

After listening, Gu Yi remained silent.

For a traditional mage, practicing melee combat is a complete waste of time.

But Lin Jie is different. This kid is wearing a nano armor made of vibranium, making him a heavy mage who can withstand attacks and fight back.

Building strength doesn't seem like a bad thing.

"I'll think about it some more."

Gu Yi waved his hand, not immediately agreeing.

Lin Jie was ultimately too young.

At most, a teenager will only be in Kamar-Taj for a month. In just one month, you can't expect him to mature instantly and take on the responsibility of protecting the Earth. That's really pushing his growth too far.

"You may leave now."

Gu Yi sighed and gave them the order to leave.

……

The next morning.

The Ancient One was sitting in the temple, resting with her eyes closed.

Lin Jie arrived early to report for duty.

"master."

Lin Jie bowed politely, then walked directly to the Ancient One and sat down, his face beaming with undisguised excitement: "I spent half the night thinking about it. I feel like I've grasped a new trick regarding mind magic!"

Seeing Lin Jie's beaming face, Gu Yi's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface she maintained the dignity of the Sorcerer Supreme.

"No rush, have a seat first."

Gu Yi stood up and walked to the tea table next to him.

In Lin Jie's eyes, Gu Yi always had the air of a calm and collected sage.

This is what Lin Jie admires most about her.

To remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses before you—that is the true demeanor of a wise person.

Lin Jie suppressed his excitement and sat quietly cross-legged on the futon.

Gu Yi came over with two cups of freshly brewed hot tea and handed one to Lin Jie.

"Speak," the Ancient One said slowly, taking a sip of tea. "What have you realized this time?"

Gu Yi spoke calmly, as if everything was within his expectations, but in reality, he was already feeling uneasy.

This kid just learned mind magic yesterday, and after taking a nap, he says he has new insights.

This speed is simply leaving no chance for anyone to survive.

"Master, I've discovered that mental power isn't just useful for drilling into other people's minds." Lin Jie explained seriously, sitting cross-legged. "I tried it last night when I was practicing in the dormitory. As long as I concentrate my mental power highly, I can even use it to move things."

Gu Yi's hand, which was holding the teacup, froze in mid-air.

Moving things?

Spiritual power materialized?

Isn't that telekinesis?!

Gu Yi had originally planned to teach Lin Jie how to project his spiritual power outwards and materialize it to move objects when Lin Jie arrived today.

This is a high-level technique that can only be accessed in the mid-to-late stages of mind magic cultivation.

And what happened? Before I could even say a word, this kid had already figured it out without any instruction?!

Gu Yi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart, and said expressionlessly, "Sounds good. Show me."

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, the Ancient One simply couldn't believe it.

"Okay." Lin Jie nodded.

He reached into his wide monk's robe and pulled out a stone that shimmered with a faint blue light, placing it in his palm.

"Wait!" Ancient One's eyes widened, and she immediately stopped him. "What you're holding is the Mind Stone?!"

"Yes, Master." Lin Jie nodded matter-of-factly. "Didn't you tell me to make a few more as spares? I got carried away last night and just made them on a whim. Not only the raw stones, but I even made those gloves."

After saying that, Lin Jie reached into his waistband and pulled out a palm-sized gray cloth bag.

He reached into the cloth bag and rummaged around for a long time.

Whoosh!

He pulled a huge, gleaming metal glove with five holes straight out of the small cloth bag and slammed it onto the wooden table.

Gu Yi: "..."

Gu Yi was truly speechless.

She previously suggested that Lin Jie create more fake gems, and even mentioned the Infinity Gauntlet, purely out of a wicked sense of humor.

She used the Time Stone to see into the future and knew that Thanos, the cosmic overlord, would come to Earth sooner or later to steal the Infinity Stones.

The Ancient One thought that when Thanos finally managed to snatch these high-quality counterfeits, he would be so angry that he would have a stroke on the spot.

Although with Lin Jie's current abnormal strength, it's not impossible for him to go head-to-head with Thanos.

The problem is that Thanos has the backing of Death, one of the five cosmic entities.

In the unspoken rules of the multiverse, Thanos is unkillable.

Since the Ancient One couldn't control the unspoken rules of the cosmic powers, she could only have Lin Jie pull some pranks to delay Thanos's invasion of Earth.

But to her utter surprise, Lin Jie actually managed to handcraft the Infinity Gauntlet!

Moreover, judging from the craftsmanship, it's so shiny and golden that it looks even more like the real thing than the real thing!
