American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

When the Ancient One uttered those words, the entire room fell silent.

What's going on?

Should Lin Jie be promoted directly to a permanent position?

Anyone with eyes could see that Lin Jie was about to be hit in the vital spot by Master Wang, and it was clearly a situation where he was going to lose!

The Supreme Master's favoritism is too obvious!

Carter, standing nearby, didn't seem to think anything of it.

In his mind, a freak like Lin Jie would be more than qualified to be a great mage.

But Mordo and Lucian disagreed.

Mordo took a deep breath, stepped forward to the Ancient One, bowed respectfully, and asked urgently, "Sorcerer Supreme, Lin Jie clearly hasn't defeated the King yet, how can he be considered to have passed the test?"

The Ancient One was not angry in the face of Mordo's questioning.

She gently shook the folding fan in her hand, and asked with a half-smile, "Who do you think won just now?"

For some reason, Mordo felt that the Ancient One was in a very good mood.

"Of course Wang won," Mordo answered without hesitation. "If you hadn't stopped him, Wang's hand chop would have already severed Lin Jie's throat, ending the fight in one move."

That's perfectly reasonable.

No matter how you look at it, Master Wang has an absolute advantage in terms of tactics and experience.

The Ancient One nodded slightly in agreement, saying, "You're right."

"Since Wang won, why should Lin Jie be promoted?"

Modu frowned, completely baffled.

The Ancient One closed her folding fan and said something that left everyone puzzled: "Modu, you can't judge things by appearances alone. Most people only focus on the phenomena, but they ignore even the most essential essence."

Profound and unfathomable, shrouded in mystery.

Modu was even more confused after hearing this.

What is its essence?

Isn't the essence just that Lin Jie is less skilled and therefore gets beaten up?

The Ancient One ignored Mordo, whose face was full of question marks, and turned to walk directly towards Lin Jie, who was still standing in the middle of the fighting arena, panting.

"Supreme Master".

Lin Jie quickly stood up straight and greeted him.

The Ancient One had a kind smile on his face, without any airs, giving people a sense of inexplicable friendliness.

But Lin Jie knew in his heart that the more ordinary a big shot seemed, the more secretive he was.

"What did you learn from the military boxing that Wang taught you yesterday?" the Ancient One asked softly.

Lin Jie scratched his head and answered honestly, "I've figured out a lot of martial arts moves from other countries. Also, I practiced military boxing all night last night, and I found that my body seems to have mutated; I have inexhaustible strength."

"Oh? What move did you figure out?" the Ancient One asked.

"There are probably more than fifty kinds. But Master Wang said that the focus should be on improving strength and physique, so I didn't pay attention to the moves in the second half of the night and used all my time to practice military boxing."

The entire venue fell silent once again.

Carter was dumbfounded.

Master Wang froze.

Mordo and Lucian's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

To have reached the level of a temple guardian mage, Mordo and his companions must have exceptional talent.

But what if you say that by practicing a set of Po Jun Tai Quan (破军体拳), you can understand more than fifty different martial arts from various countries?

Can practicing military boxing for one night really give you the terrifying strength to smash the Ring of Laggardor with your bare hands?

What a joke!

Mordo and Lucian's expressions shifted rapidly.

They'd rather die than believe it!

That sounds absolutely outrageous, pure nonsense!

If Master Wang and Carter hadn't already witnessed Lin Jie's abilities, they probably would have thought Lin Jie was just a braggart.

But right now, only two words are flooding their minds: pervert!

We all have two eyes and one mouth, so why are you so much better than us?

Is God blind?!

Carter couldn't hold back any longer. He quietly moved closer to Master Wang and asked in a low voice, "Master Wang, does military boxing really have such powerful hidden effects?"

Master Wang's lips twitched violently, and he muttered in a tearful voice, "Bullshit!"

I practiced military boxing for so long back then, how come it didn't work this well?

He's just a little stronger than the average person!

Ultimately, it comes down to the vast difference in people's level of understanding!

Just as several people were secretly questioning their existence.

"Come to the fighting arena early tomorrow morning." The Ancient One tapped her palm lightly with her folding fan, giving Lin Jie a special reminder. "Go back and get a good night's sleep tonight, clear your mind, and don't think about anything."

As soon as those words were spoken...

Everyone present was stunned.

Even Lin Jie himself remained rooted to the spot.

What did the Ancient One mean by saying this?

Could it be... that the Supreme Commander of Kamar-Taj is going to personally teach Lin Jie magic?!

Master Gu Yi wanted to personally teach Lin Jie.

Actually, this is not a particularly unusual thing.

After all, most of the early sorcerers of Kamar-Taj were personally trained by the Ancient One.

What truly shocked and annoyed Mordo and Lucian was that the Ancient One was actually planning to stop her travels and stay in Kamar-Taj for this novice!

What does this mean?

This means that the Ancient One is serious and intends to train Lin Jie as her last disciple, or even her successor!

Modu felt a mix of emotions swirling within him, but he dared not show it to anyone.

The monk Wang standing next to him was extremely excited.

He quickly nudged Lin Jie, who was still in a daze: "Lin Jie! What are you standing there for! Quickly thank the Supreme Master!"

Lin Jie then came to his senses and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Supreme Master. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

The Ancient One nodded slightly, her eyes becoming somewhat profound: "Go back and rest well. Your journey is still long, and in the future... the burden on your shoulders will be very heavy."

This statement is completely nonsensical.

Lin Jie was completely confused, but he was too lazy to delve into the hidden meaning in the big shot's words.

He was just about to turn around and go back to his dormitory when he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Master Wang: "Master Wang, does that mean I can go to the library to study tomorrow?"

Master Wang slapped his forehead, only then remembering the conditions he had promised Lin Jie.

He turned his head and looked at the Ancient One as if seeking instructions.

"Starting tomorrow, you can freely enter and leave the library," the Ancient One replied affirmatively.

That's it!

Finally, we can see the advanced magic hidden in Kamar-Taj.

Lin Jie was overjoyed. After bowing again, he left the fighting arena with Carter.

Before leaving, Lin Jie sensed that two pairs of eyes were staring intently at him from behind.

Looking back, there were Mordo and Lucian, their faces grim.

......

Lin Jie and Carter had just left.

Mordo could no longer contain his anger and strode up to the Ancient One.

"Master! This disciple truly cannot understand!" Mo Du frowned, his tone filled with intense dissatisfaction. "The strength this kid possesses is too bizarre! Saying that practicing military boxing for one night can develop such monstrous strength is such a flimsy excuse!"

"Besides, Lin Jie clearly lost just now, so why did you insist on making an exception and promoting him to a full-fledged position? And why did you personally coach him?"

In Modu's view, rules are rules. Even Master Wang couldn't beat him, so why should he be promoted?

The Ancient One wasn't angry. She simply turned her head, calmly looked at Mordo, and asked, "Do you really think Lin Jie lost just now?"

This question left Modu speechless.

Lucian was also stunned and stood there.

The two exchanged a glance, their faces full of confusion.

Is not it?

Just now, Master Wang's hand chop was only centimeters away from Lin Jie's throat!

Seeing the two looking bewildered, Master Wang sighed with a wry smile and stepped forward.

"Senior Brother Lucian. It's a little embarrassing to say, but... if Master hadn't stopped us just now, and we had continued fighting, the one who would have lost... would definitely have been me."

Master Wang blushed slightly and admitted it somewhat awkwardly.

"How is this possible?!" Lucian blurted out, his voice rising an octave. "Just now, if you had just delivered a chop, he wouldn't have even had a chance to dodge!"

Master Wang did not refute, but silently raised his hands.

You wouldn't know unless you saw it.

Upon seeing this, Mordo and Lucian's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Master Wang's usually steady hands were now trembling violently, as if he were having a Parkinson's attack.

Moreover, the back of his hand was red and swollen, and blood was even seeping from the joints.

"What... what happened to your hand?" Mordo gasped.

Master Wang, on the verge of tears, lowered his hands: "I hit Lin Jie. I couldn't even scratch him."

This is the most frustrating part!

Lucian is right, Master Wang did indeed have the opportunity to choke him.

The problem is, he simply doesn't have the strength to do that move anymore!

During the close-quarters combat just now, in order to force Lin Jie back, Master Wang landed several solid punches on Lin Jie's chest.

The results of it?

Lin Jie acted as if nothing had happened, without even frowning.

On the contrary, Master Wang felt as if his hand bones had hit a solid steel plate, and the pain almost made him cry out on the spot!

If Master Gu Yi hadn't called a halt, Master Wang felt he could only hold on for another ten seconds at most before having to admit defeat due to his broken hands.

The Ancient One called a halt, actually to save the reputation of the King of Witchcraft as a master of close combat!

The most despairing thing in the world is discovering that your attack hits the enemy, but instead of causing them to lose health, it also reflects damage back to them!

Master Wang never dreamed that one day he would lose to a novice who had just started out in a purely physical confrontation!

Mages usually focus on magic, and their physical abilities are at most slightly better than ordinary people, but they are no match for monsters that mutate through physical transformation.

But Lin Jie is simply an anomaly!

He trained his body into an impenetrable fortress through a single night of military boxing!

This is like everyone playing online games, and while others are training fragile mages with high attack and low defense, Lin Jie is different; he trained a tanky mage with high health and high defense!

How can we fight like this?

Even if you stand there and let him hit you, you still can't kill him!

After hearing Master Wang's tearful accusations, Mordo and Lucian were completely petrified.

A deathly silence fell over the main hall.

It took Lucian a long while to recover from his daze. He swallowed hard, stared intently at the monk, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Master Wang... that set of military boxing... if you practice like crazy, can you really develop his kind of abnormal physique?"

Master Wang's lips twitched violently, and he rolled his eyes.

"How would I know!"
