American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

"Without further ado, let's begin the first lesson."

Carter didn't continue with a lengthy speech and went straight to the point.

"Raise your hands."

"Clear your mind of distractions."

"Concentrate your mind and sense the energy that exists in the multiverse. You can think of it as the code of a program."

"The incantation resides deep within your consciousness."

Carter explained while demonstrating the movements.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Slowly pull your hands apart in front of your chest.

"Mobilize energy, guide it, and construct the most basic magical rays."

As his voice faded.

A dazzling orange-yellow light appeared between Carter's hands as if it were a tangible object.

A flash of light instantly illuminated the horrified faces around them.

"Oh my god! Is this real?!"

"Senior Brother Carter actually conjured beams of light out of his bare hands!"

"Magic! This is real magic!"

Exclamations of amazement rose and fell.

The apprentices stared wide-eyed, as if witnessing a miracle, and were all eager to try.

They eagerly followed Carter's actions, closing their eyes, stretching out their hands, and muttering incantations.

The result can be imagined.

Nothing happened.

Forget about magic rays, not even a spark flew out.

Even the proud and arrogant Lilia was put to a bad end.

She bit her lip, her eyes stubborn, trying again and again to replicate Carter's movements, but her hands remained empty.

All around were the apprentices' frustrated sighs.

Carter secretly gloated as he looked at the group of people looking disheveled.

This is a sure thing.

He was initially worried that he wouldn't be able to control the situation.

Looking back now, it seems that all my practice over the past few days has paid off.

Back then, he practiced day and night for a whole week in order to create that beam of light.

These newbies think they can reach the top in one step?

Go dream!

Although he was secretly pleased, Carter maintained his cold expression.

He weaved through the crowd, occasionally speaking up to correct them.

"Focus your attention! Feel the flow of energy!"

Until he walked up to Lin Jie.

Carter stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowing.

Everyone around was trying desperately, even if it meant grabbing at the air like a fool.

Lin Jie, however, stood there motionless, completely still.

"What are you staring at? Why aren't you practicing?"

Carter questioned him sternly.

Lin Jie suddenly came to his senses.

When he watched Carter cast the spell, the "maxed-level comprehension" system in his mind seemed to suddenly come alive.

A massive and complex stream of information suddenly flooded into his mind, and he was busy processing it.

"Sorry, senior brother, I was just thinking about your teachings. I'll try it now," Lin Jie quickly replied.

Seeing Lin Jie's respectful attitude, Carter's anger subsided considerably.

The kid's attitude was fairly proper, just as honest as when I first came in.

Carter's tone softened slightly: "Magic isn't something you think about, it's something you do. Don't be afraid of failure, just try it."

Carter's words reassured Lin Jie a lot.

Practicing magic is also about cultivating one's state of mind.

Lin Jie took a deep breath, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts.

He closed his eyes and immediately recalled the image of Doctor Strange rubbing his shield.

Slowly raise both hands.

At that very moment, "Maximum Comprehension" started operating at full speed again.

The complex flow of information, like decrypted program code, immediately becomes crystal clear.

How does energy flow? How are spells constructed?

It's as natural as if it's ingrained in your bones.

Lin Jie steadily spread his hands apart in front of his chest.

A dazzling orange-yellow magical ray instantly took shape.

Without pausing, he continued waving his hands.

Draw a circle, unfold it, draw a square array pattern, and finally bring both hands together suddenly in the middle.

"Buzz!"

A magical shield, sparking with fire, hovered steadily in mid-air.

The entire training ground was deathly silent.

Carter was stunned.

Lilia was stunned.

The newlyweds around them were all dumbfounded.

Carter's mask of indifference nearly shattered on the spot.

A magic...magic shield?!

Are you kidding me!

Although this is only basic Kamar-Taj magic, this kid has only been practicing for less than ten minutes!

After hearing the explanation once, he immediately conjured a complete magic shield?

Carter felt his heart pounding.

You should know that he spent a whole week practicing just drawing a line of light, and he stayed up all night for a month to complete this shield!

"Have you ever been exposed to magic before?"

Carter couldn't help but ask.

Lin Jie casually waved his hand, dispelling the shield, and shook his head quite naturally.

Carter's eye twitched violently.

To learn something at a glance without any prior knowledge is simply outrageous!

"Senior brother, how's my practice going?"

Lin Jie had a humble, eager-to-learn expression on his face.

Carter coughed, forcefully suppressing the shock in his eyes.

We must never let newcomers become too arrogant.

He put on a stern face and uttered four words in a flat tone: "Barely passable."

Then, Carter straightened his back and continued to adopt an air of superiority: "Even magic shields come in different grades. The stronger the mage's energy, the harder the shield. You've only just scratched the surface."

"Moreover, magical energy can not only be transformed into shields, but also into weapons. Knives, swords, whips, anything can be used."

"Different weapons require completely different energy pathways. How to construct them and how to use them is something you need to figure out for yourselves."

These words drew nods from the newlyweds around them, their eyes filled with awe for magic.

Lin Jie nodded in agreement.

He was very clear-headed.

Kamar-Taj is just a beginner's village; outside are all powerful players who can destroy stars with a single punch.

What's so special about knowing how to use a basic shield?

We must hurry and develop more powerful skills to save our lives.

"I've learned a lot from you, senior brother. I will continue to practice."

Lin Jie's attitude was very proper.

Carter was very pleased with Lin Jie's humility and waved his hand, "That's enough for today. Those who can draw beams of light, try to condense a shield. Those who can't do anything, continue practicing the basics."

"Remember, magic requires practice, feeling, and most importantly, understanding!"
