American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

"The genius mage Lin Jie?"

Lin Jie murmured the name to himself, his mind momentarily blank.

One month ago.

He had just stepped into Kamar-Taj, still a trainee apprentice who was even looked down upon for sweeping the floor.

Only one month has passed!

He was able to stand side by side with the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, and Odin, the God King, and receive the highest honors from all the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj!

"Stop daydreaming." Gu Yi seemed to notice Lin Jie's shock, shook the small fan in her hand, and said calmly, "In Kamar-Taj, a sorcerer who has his own exclusive title is second only to me in status. You earned this through your own strength."

Of course, there was one more thing that Gu Yi didn't say.

Before long, this kid will become someone above everyone else.

Odin stood to the side, arms crossed, glanced at the Ancient One, and snorted, "What? Are you determined to pass the position of Sorcerer Supreme to this kid?"

The old man's voice wasn't loud, but everyone present with sharp ears heard it.

In fact, Odin had seen through the Ancient One's thoughts long ago.

The Kamar-Taj Mage Conference is usually never held, so the fact that everyone was summoned to the training grounds today, and that it was made so grand, is clearly paving the way.

"If the God-King can find a successor more outstanding than my disciple, I will immediately replace him."

The Ancient One looked at Odin, her tone calm, and her words left Odin speechless.

Odin opened his mouth, but then closed it again.

Although the old woman was protective of her own, she was telling the truth.

Throughout the entire Nine Realms of the Gods, even his wife, Frigga, a seasoned witch, praised Lin Jie every day as a peerless genius who appears only once every few thousand years.

Besides Lin Jie, who else is worthy of the title of Supreme Mage?

"Master, all the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj are here, not one is missing."

Modu quickly stepped forward and respectfully reported.

Modu knows his master too well. This whole scene today definitely means something big is about to be announced.

"Um."

Gu nodded and put away the small fan in his hand.

She turned her head, looked at Lin Jie whose face was full of question marks, and her tone suddenly became extremely serious.

Whether you deserve the title of "genius mage" depends on your performance today.

Lin Jie was completely dumbfounded.

What do you mean?

Why should my behavior be the sole indicator of what I've done? No.

Are you here to teach everyone elemental magic?

How did it suddenly become my personal exam?

Lin Jie turned to Mo Du beside him and asked in a low voice, "Senior Brother, what exactly is going on? What is Master up to?"

Ever since being terrified by Lin Jie's telekinesis last time, Mordo now only has the utmost respect for Lin Jie.

Hearing Lin Jie's question, Mo Du lowered his voice and answered with certainty, "If I'm not mistaken, Master intends for you to show off your skills in public and intimidate everyone."

Intimidate everyone?

Lin Jie touched his chin.

He stayed in Kamar-Taj for a month, where the Ancient One would take him to the back mountains or into space for special training every day. Ordinary sorcerers never even saw him make a move.

"Senior Brother, Master isn't planning to hand over Kamar-Taj to me to manage right now, is he?"

A bold idea suddenly popped into Lin Jie's mind, and he tentatively asked a question.

"yes!"

The one who answered him was not Mordo, but the Ancient One.

Gu Yi's voice was clear and crisp.

She took a step forward, her deep gaze slowly sweeping over the hundreds of mages present.

The entire training ground fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop.

Ancient One took a deep breath and used magic to amplify her voice, making it clearly ring in the ears of every mage:

"The Ancient One, the Supreme Sorcerer, swears in the name of Vishanti! Today, I hereby formally appoint Sorcerer Lingjie to take charge of all affairs of Kamar-Taj and lead the sorcerers to protect the Earth!"

boom!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The entire training ground in Kamar-Taj erupted in chaos.

All the mages stared wide-eyed and gasped.

An uncontrollable gasp and murmurs erupted from the crowd.

This is so sudden!

The rules of Kamar-Taj, which have remained unchanged for hundreds of years, have been broken today?

The Supreme Master is actually abdicating today?!

The sorcerers whispered among themselves, their eyes all fixed on the boy who looked to be under twenty years old standing next to the Ancient One.

"Is that him? That new apprentice named Lin Jie?"

"This is outrageous! How long has he been in Kamar-Taj? A month at most! Even the senior brother Mordo wasn't qualified to take over, so why should it be his turn?"

"Although everyone says he's a genius, magical training takes time and accumulation! How strong can a teenager be? If he encountered Dormammu's followers, he'd probably be scared out of his wits!"

Most of the intermediate and low-level mages had expressions of doubt and resentment on their faces.

Hearing the chaotic and questioning voices around him, Carter, who was standing at the front of the line, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"You people won't learn your lesson until you're faced with the unbearable reality!"

Carter turned and glared at the few mages who were making a ruckus.

Carter had personally witnessed Lin Jie stab Thor with a spear, leaving two bloody holes in him!

These ignorant frogs in a well, who have never seen the world, dare to spout nonsense here!

Besides Carter, there was another person in the crowd who was looking at Lin Jie with an extremely complicated expression.

Lilia.

A month ago, she and Lin Jie entered Kamar-Taj on the same day. Both were apprentices.

But now, Lilia has just barely passed the intermediate mage exam and become one of the best among her peers.

Lin Jie, who used to skip classes and sleep every day, is now standing beside the Sorcerer Supreme and is about to take over the entire Kamar-Taj!

Lilia felt a mix of emotions.

She originally thought that as long as she worked hard, she would eventually catch up with Lin Jie.

It now seems that the gap between humans and monsters cannot be bridged by effort alone.
