Chapter 222 Merlin's Successor?! The True Power of the Sword in the Stone!

Deep within the multiverse, a deadly deal targeting Lin Jie has been struck.

But on Earth, Kamar-Taj's genius is just beginning to emerge.

At six o'clock in the morning, Lin Jie stepped into the training field on time, ready to start a day of teaching.

As soon as he walked in, he sensed that something was wrong.

Normally, Wang and Mordo would be his assistants standing on either side of him.

But today, Wang and Mordo were forced into a corner.

Standing at the very front were three women: Wanda, Lililia, and Qing.

Three women make a drama. The atmosphere on set was incredibly awkward.

The large group of mages below all lowered their heads, like quails, not daring to even breathe. Wang and Mordo, in particular, shrank their necks and pretended to be dead.

Lin Jie stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the three of them before finally settling on Qing.

It's normal for Wanda and Lililia to be here, after all, they are their own sorcerers.

What's going on with Qing Suan?

"What are you doing here?" Lin Jie asked directly.

"I'll do whatever they do," Qing replied with a grin, adjusting the hem of her skirt as if she were one of them.

Lin Jie turned to stare at the two people in the corner: "Wang, Mordo, you're in charge of the daily defense of Kamar-Taj. You're letting outsiders in without any oversight?"

Upon hearing this, Wang almost cried, his voice trembling: "Genius Mage, you have to ask the Supreme Mage about this; we really can't help you!"

Lin Jie frowned slightly: "What does this have to do with my master?"

Mordo quickly explained, "Qing is Merlin's successor! In terms of seniority, she's on par with the Supreme Mage. How dare we interfere?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in uproar.

The crowd below instantly erupted in chaos.

"They're from the Merlin family!"

"Isn't the Merlin family just a legend? Did they really exist?"

"She's so young, yet she's the family heir?!"

The monks were all stunned. No one had expected that this seemingly boisterous little girl would have such a terrifying background.

Lililia froze on the spot, her expression instantly turning serious.

Wanda had only been there a short time and knew nothing about the ways of the wizarding world. She turned to Lililia and asked, "Are Merlin's successors very powerful?"

The two spent a long time searching for information yesterday without any results, but now the truth has finally come to light.

"Very impressive." Lililia looked at Qing with the eyes of someone looking at a most dangerous rival. "In the world of mages, the Merlin family holds the highest status, even Kamar-Taj can only be ranked second."

Hearing the people around her say "young," Qing raised an eyebrow and spoke casually.

"You have no manners. According to seniority, you should all kneel and bow to me."

She spoke in a joking tone, but the monks present were terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Several timid monks' knees buckled, and they prepared to bow.

"Karmar-Taj, since when did it become your place to give orders?" Lin Jie interrupted him directly, his face ashen.

He didn't care about the Merlin family at all.

"Besides, you don't seem to have bowed to me when you saw me." Lin Jie stared at Qing, his tone firm.

Qing's eyes widened, her face full of indignation: "Me, bow to you? According to seniority, you're much younger than me!"

"You are now standing on Kamar-Taj territory," Lin Jie said without backing down.

"I'm a guest!" Haru shouted angrily.

"I didn't invite you." Lin Jie's words left her speechless.

Qing instantly fell silent, turned her head away to sulk, and acted exactly like a spoiled young lady.

Lin Jie, too lazy to waste words with her, simply raised his right hand. Magical power surged in his palm, preparing to forcibly cast a spell to send her away.

Just then, a calm voice came from behind.

"Qing, you're a rare guest."

The Ancient One has arrived.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Supreme Master."

"master."

All the mages bowed in unison.

Qing crossed her arms, glanced at Gu Yi, and didn't even greet him.

Gu Yi didn't seem to mind at all, and said with a smile, "What brings you here today? Why don't you come to my room for a bit?"

"Okay." Qing knew that Gu Yi must have something to say to her.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qing raised her hand and waved it. A purple light flashed, and she disappeared from the training ground.

Gu Yi took out a small fan and waved it, then turned to Lin Jie: "Disciple, today's morning training will be handled by Wang and Mordo. Someone has come to the front hall; you must go and see him personally."

Lin Jie nodded in agreement.

Wang immediately stepped forward, ready to lead the way. Gu Yi glanced at Mo Du, nodded slightly, then turned and left, fanning himself with his fan.

As soon as the person left, Modu felt resentful.

He muttered to himself, "Lin Jie is going too far! His talent is freakish enough, but how come all the women are flocking to him? Kamar-Taj only has a few pretty female mages, and they've all run off to him."

"Now even the heir of the Merlin family is throwing himself at them!"

"It's a case of some suffering from drought while others are drowning in floods!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Mordo suddenly turned and roared at the mages below, "Didn't you all eat breakfast? Shout louder! Show some spirit!"

The mages below were completely dumbfounded.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Had their senior brother lost his temper today? He's got such a fiery temper!

……

On the way to the lobby.

Lin Jie couldn't understand it, so he casually asked Wang, "Why is Qing insisting on staying at Kamar-Taj?"

Wang bowed deeply, his attitude extremely respectful: "Because of the sword in the stone."

Lin Jie now holds a high position, and Wang dares not be negligent in the slightest.

"The Sword in the Stone?" Lin Jie retorted. "What does that have to do with her?"

"To be precise, it's related to the Merlin family," the king explained as he walked. "Back then, the sorcerer Merlin helped Arthur become king and guided him to find the sword in the stone. From then on, the Merlin family has protected the owner of the sword in the stone for generations."

"They will remain in power until the next master appears. This also explains why the Merlin family, despite their immense strength, never interferes in the struggle for the Sorcerer Supreme."

Lin Jie suddenly realized: "So, she's a guardian spirit?"

Wang nodded: "She has been your guardian spirit ever since you pulled the sword from the stone."

Lin Jie understood. No wonder this girl insisted on staying with him for life.

"But I haven't used this sword in a long time," Lin Jie said truthfully.

He had looked it up in the library; the Sword in the Stone at its peak could even shatter Infinity Stones. But when he used it, it was a completely different story.

When he went to the Dark Dimension, he thought he could cleave the dimensional barrier with a single sword strike, but the power was disappointing. As his own strength increased dramatically, the sword's power stagnated.

"It seems to be only moderately powerful," Lin Jie commented.

"Because Qing is missing," Wang immediately explained. "The Sword in the Stone is stained with Merlin's blood and has a contract with him. The sword itself isn't strong, but as long as it's infused with the pure bloodline magic of the Merlin family, it can unleash its most terrifying power."

Lin Jiequan understood: "That's why she came to our door."

"That's right. Genius mage, we've arrived." Wang stopped and pushed open the front hall door.

As soon as the door opened, Lin Jie saw a man with a stubble-covered face and tattered clothes.

The man's eyes were vacant, and his hands were wrapped in thick white bandages.

The man's eyes lit up instantly when he saw Wang and Lin Jie walk in.

He rushed straight to the king and pleaded urgently, "You're the Sorcerer Supreme, aren't you? My name is Strange, please heal my hands!"

Wang was speechless.

Lin Jie also fell silent.

The two stared at each other, and the atmosphere instantly turned icy.

Wang lowered his voice and asked, "Genius mage, should we throw this guy out?"

Lin Jie nodded: "I think it's a good idea."

Lin Jie never expected that the person Gu Yi had asked him to meet would be the future Doctor Strange.

But now he has complete control over Kamar-Taj.

What does it mean when Gu Yi pushes Strange over?

Should we let him take on apprentices?

Lin Jie looked at the flustered and disheveled Strange and felt a pang of worry. He had stolen Strange's future job, and now the person in charge was coming to his door; things were indeed getting complicated.
