American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

"Stop making wild guesses."

Carter couldn't stand the doubts around him any longer and shouted, "If you don't believe me, ask Lilia yourselves!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of dozens of mages around them all fell on Lilia.

Lilia's words still carry considerable weight within the circle of ordinary mages.

After all, she stood out from the intermediate assessment in just one month, a talent that many people can only look up to.

Everyone knows that Lilia is a proud and arrogant genius girl who never easily submits to others.

If even she admits that Lin Jie is capable, then this matter is most likely to be resolved.

"Mage Lilia, is this Lin Jie really as miraculous as the rumors say?"

"Yeah, I heard he even defeated Thor, is that true?"

Faced with everyone's questions, Lilia remained silent for two seconds.

She raised her head, her gaze complex as she looked at Lin Jie, who stood relaxed beside Gu Yi, and slowly uttered six words: "He is much stronger than me."

This simple sentence was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

The surrounding mages fell silent instantly.

Even the proud and arrogant Lilia was ashamed of herself and even used the word "much stronger" to describe him. It seems that this Lin Jie is definitely a tough nut to crack.

For a moment, the monks looked at Lin Jie with less contempt and more curiosity and awe.

At this moment, Lin Jie felt as if a thousand mythical beasts were stampeding through his mind.

He turned to look at Mordo, lowering his voice to complain, "Senior Brother, this is more sudden than a robbery! No rehearsal, no preparation, and I'm just being put in charge like this?"

Modu shrugged, his face showing a "I'm desperate too" expression: "You'll get used to it. This is always how Master does things, doing whatever he wants."

Lin Jie rolled his eyes.

At least let me change into something more stylish, or think of a few powerful inaugural speeches beforehand!

What is this now?

Forced into a situation?

"Disciple," Gu Yi's voice interrupted Lin Jie's inner turmoil, "If you want everyone to believe you, you'd better show some real skills today."

A hint of anticipation flickered in Gu Yi's eyes. She knew Lin Jie had unlimited potential, but Kamar-Taj was a place where strength spoke for itself.

To secure this position, an appointment from one's mentor is not enough.

Lin Jie took a deep breath and nodded.

"Since that's the case, then let me show everyone a couple of moves." Lin Jie was thinking to himself which ultimate move would be the most impressive.

Should we summon an army of hundreds of soul clones, or conjure a Reality Stone to rewrite the terrain?

Before Lin Jie could choose a skill...

The Ancient One suddenly took a step forward.

"Look at everything carefully."

The Ancient One's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

She slowly raised her hands, drawing a soft circular path in front of her chest.

Her movements seemed slow, like an old man practicing Tai Chi in a park, but as she moved, the surrounding air instantly became heavy.

got windy.

A gentle breeze suddenly swept across the once peaceful training ground.

The wind was gentle, caressing the faces of the mages, yet it carried an irresistible and powerful pressure.

"What terrifying energy!"

Modu, standing in the front row, paled and his heart pounded wildly.

This oppressive force wasn't directed at the physical body; it directly crushed the soul!

Even he, the senior disciple of Kamar-Taj, felt short of breath in this gentle breeze, and it took a great deal of effort to even move a finger.

The hundreds of mages present were instantly silenced by this invisible pressure.

No one dared to speak. This was the absolute power of the Sorcerer Supreme suppressing them!

Lin Jie, standing next to Gu Yi, seemed completely unaffected by the oppressive aura.

His magical reserves far exceeded those of ordinary mages, so this pressure was like a gentle breeze to him.

"Feel the magic within you, connect with the surrounding natural elements. Combine the two and unleash the Wind of Vatum. This technique has no incantation; it relies entirely on your perception and control of energy."

As Gu Yi spoke, the speed of her hands suddenly increased.

"call--!"

The gentle breeze instantly transformed into a raging hurricane, gathering wildly in front of the Ancient One!

She pushed her hands outwards with a sudden force.

boom!

Hurricane-induced explosion!

A visible, violent current of air, carrying an overwhelming force, swept across the entire training ground!

Sand and stones flew everywhere, and the sky darkened!

The powerful wind forced all the mages to retreat, and many apprentices with lower cultivation levels were even knocked to the ground, their faces filled with terror.

If this level of destructive power were in the city, it could absolutely level several streets in an instant!

"That's too powerful..." Wang gripped a stone pillar tightly, his face filled with shock.

Is this the true power of the Sorcerer Supreme? Such terrifying natural power can be unleashed with just a casual strike!

The storm has subsided.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

All the sorcerers stared at the Ancient One in disbelief, their eyes filled with fanatical awe.

"Alright, this is the basic method for releasing Vatum's Wind."

Gu Yi withdrew her hands, her face neither flushed nor out of breath, as if nothing had happened.

She turned her head, looked at Lin Jie who was completely dumbfounded, and a "kind" smile appeared on her lips.

"Next, your genius mage Lin Jie will personally guide you on how to practice this spell."

Lin Jie: "???"

I freaking...

Lin Jie was completely numb.

Master! You can't be this rip-off!

Didn't we agree that I would demonstrate my abilities to win people over?

How did it suddenly become a situation where I'm asked to be a coach and teach others?

Most importantly, you just casually unleashed a devastating super move that shocked everyone into a state of utter disbelief.

You've set the bar so high, now let me take over?

If the wind I release is less powerful than yours, wouldn't I become a laughing stock?

If I were to make it bigger than yours, wouldn't that be undermining you?

Looking at the hundreds of expectant eyes below the stage, Lin Jie suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Master, oh Master, you've already tricked Odin and Thanos, how come you even trick your own disciple!

Lin Jie wasn't the only one to see this.

Mo Du sighed and said to Lin Jie in a low voice, "Junior Brother, you're in big trouble now."

Wang Ye leaned closer, covering his mouth with his chubby hand, and muttered, "Master's hands are too ruthless! It's like he dug a deep well for you to jump into!"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes speechlessly.

I know it's a deep pit, but is there any way out now?

Just then, Gu Yi, as if nothing had happened, slowly stepped aside, making room for Lin Jie in the center.

"Go."

Gu Yi spoke calmly, as if she hadn't been the one digging the hole just now.

Lin Jie took a deep breath and steeled himself to step forward.

In an instant, the eyes of hundreds of mages in the room all fell on him.

There was no reverence or worship in those gazes.

There was only curiosity, skepticism, and even a hint of schadenfreude.

"I'd like to see what a novice like you, who has only studied magic for a month, can use to surpass the Sorcerer Supreme."

This was the common sentiment of almost all the monks present.

Faced with so many piercing gazes, Lin Jie did not immediately take action.

He closed his eyes and stood motionless, like an old monk in deep meditation.

A minute passed.

Three minutes have passed.

Five minutes passed.

At the training grounds in Kamar-Taj, the atmosphere gradually shifted from anticipation to a somewhat tense one, and finally to impatience.

As the aftershocks of the pressure released by the Ancient One dissipated completely, the pressure on the mages also disappeared.

Looking at Lin Jie, who stood in the middle like a wooden stake, they finally couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.
