"You can accept it now."

Seeing the increasingly grim expressions on the faces of the surrounding sorcerers, Gu Yi finally spoke, interrupting Lin Jie's spellcasting.

If they don't stop soon, all the temple guards will embarrass themselves in front of the apprentices.

Where does that leave her, the Supreme Master?

call--

A series of synchronized exhalations echoed in the main hall.

The monks breathed a sigh of relief, secretly wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads, exchanging shocked glances.

That was close!

I almost couldn't hold back!

"Supreme Sorcerer, how is my magic practice going?" Lin Jie put away his imposing aura and reverted to being the honest and unassuming apprentice, humbly seeking guidance.

"There's a problem."

Gu Yi spoke calmly, his expression unchanged.

Her heart was already in turmoil.

There's more to it than just a little problem.

This is an absolutely huge problem!

An apprentice, after studying for seven days, produced a magical aura that rivaled that of the temple-guarding mages who had trained diligently for many years!

This talent is more than just abnormal, it's practically cheating!

Compared to Stephen Strange, who performed surgery in New York, Lin Jie's talent was worlds apart.

With proper training, Lin Jie could definitely become the next super ace against Dormammu.

The problem is, in the future trajectory, Strange is the destined Sorcerer Supreme.

What's the deal with this Lin Jie who suddenly appeared?

Gu Bai couldn't figure it out.

"What exactly is the problem?"

Lin Jie's questioning brought Gu Yi back to her senses.

Gu Yi snapped out of his daze and began to make plans in his mind.

I've never even heard of this so-called fear magic; it's all made up by Master Wang.

But he had already tacitly accepted that this was a Kamar-Taj secret technique, and he absolutely could not reveal it now.

"Tell me first, what is your understanding of the core function of fear magic?"

Gu Yi calmly retorted, passing the buck back to Gu Yi.

She wanted to hear what kind of nonsense Master Wang had come up with.

Lin Jie didn't think much of it, taking it as a test, and immediately recited Master Wang's theory: "Fear magic is a type of mental magic. Through mental pressure, it can induce fear, panic, and an inability to look directly at someone. When practiced to its extreme, it can drive someone insane and completely cause them to lose their reason."

After listening, Gu Yi asked expressionlessly, "Anything else?"

Lin Jie shook his head: "That's all. That's all Master Wang taught."

Gu Yi silently turned her head and took a deep look at Master Wang standing next to her.

Master Wang blushed, lowered his head in shame, and wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Is this how you teach magic?

No incantations, no methods, just a definition?

The most outrageous thing is that, based on just these few dry explanations of terms, this kid actually managed to conjure up magic?!

This isn't learning magic, this is practically doing research and development on its own!

The other monks in the main hall were also dumbfounded.

Just now, Mordo thought that this fear magic was a rare and unique skill that the mage had dug up from some ancient book.

After all that, it turns out they were just using plain language to fool people!

With just a few words of deception, he managed to develop magic that could scare away an alien army.

Is there any justice in this world?!

Modu felt his head buzzing, frozen in place like a wooden doll, his worldview shattered.

All the monks' eyes were fixed on Monk Wang.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.

"Supreme Sorcerer, you just asked me if there was anything else. Is there some deeper secret in this magic that I haven't figured out yet?" Lin Jie's humble voice broke the silence.

Everyone's gaze instantly shifted from Master Wang and fixed on Gu Yi.

Everyone wanted to see how the Venerable Master would smooth things over in the face of this extremely absurd situation.

Gu Yi smiled slightly, her smile revealing a hint of unfathomable depth.

She gently shook her head, not answering directly, but instead asking a seemingly unrelated question: "Lin Jie, do you believe magic exists?"

Lin Jie was taken aback, then nodded: "Of course it exists."

Aren't I learning right now?

"What about before you came to Kamar-Taj? Did you believe in magic?" the Ancient One continued to ask.

Lin Jie honestly shook his head.

In the past, if someone had talked to him about magic, he would have thought that person was out of their mind.

"You won't believe it until you've seen it with your own eyes. Once you've seen it, you'll believe it." The Ancient One spoke calmly, as if expounding a profound truth. "The essence of magic is the same. You must first believe in its existence, believe that it can change reality, believe that it can achieve the effects you expect, before you can truly master it."

These words are ambiguous and seem plausible but are not entirely true.

But when used in magical cultivation, it seems to have no flaws.

The surrounding monks were stunned. As expected of the Supreme Monk, his theoretical level was indeed high!

Lin Jie stroked his chin thoughtfully: "You mean, my current bottleneck is because my belief in magic isn't strong enough?"

"No," Gu looked into his eyes, "it's because your belief in yourself isn't strong enough. You must have more faith in your own strength."

Lin Jie was completely confused.

Believe in your own strength?

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Gu Yi asked softly.

"I don't quite understand yet. I need to go back and think about it carefully," Lin Jie said honestly.

"Go ahead. You're a rare talent. As long as you have enough faith in yourself, your potential is limitless," the Ancient One praised without reservation.

Hearing the Supreme Master's personal confirmation, Lin Jie felt a surge of excitement.

"Understood!"

Lin Jie nodded emphatically, then turned and left the main hall with full confidence.

Watching Lin Jie's retreating figure, the monks in the main hall couldn't help but admire him.

Older gingers are more spicy!

With just a few words, the Ancient One not only perfectly changed the subject but also gave the young man a bowl of heartwarming advice.

As for that so-called fear magic, it wasn't even mentioned again.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Master Wang, however, was so anxious that he stamped his feet. He rushed to Gu Yi's side and wailed in a tearful voice, "Supreme Master! How could you let him go back and think about it! Please, please don't let him think about it anymore! If he keeps thinking about it, he'll really tear a hole in the sky!"

Others may not know, but Master Wang has personally experienced Lin Jie's terrifying ability to fill in the blanks.

Even if it's just a random sentence, this kid can conjure up a world-destroying, unparalleled martial arts technique in your mind!
