Master Wang's exasperated reply made Lucian fall into deep thought.

As a fanatical pursuer of power, Lucian didn't care whether Lin Jie was likable or not.

He had only one thought on his mind: Could military boxing really strengthen the body? Was this kid's talent really that bizarre?

Like the Ancient One, Lin Jie's secrets filled Lucian with doubt.

The one next to Modu is different.

He disliked Lin Jie from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Jie's power was too malevolent, and Mordo always suspected that the kid had ulterior motives for infiltrating Kamar-Taj.

However, since the master had already spoken up to accept him, and Lin Jie had won the practical assessment fair and square, Mo Du couldn't very well contradict him to his face.

"It's entirely up to Master to decide."

Modu bowed slightly and gave a salute.

The Ancient One gave him a calm look: "Mordo, I know what you're worried about. Everyone who finds Kamar-Taj carries their own desires. But I hope even more that we can use magic to educate them."

These words sounded profound and unfathomable, directly seeing through Mordo's thoughts.

Unable to respond, Mo Du simply put aside Lin Jie's matter and turned to report another troublesome matter.

"Master, things are not peaceful in Kathmandu lately. A group of people are trying to find out our exact location," Modu said seriously.

The Ancient One's lips curled slightly upward: "It seems you've also heard the news."

Lucian stepped forward and added, "It's an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Natasha. She represents the Avengers. I heard they're investigating the destruction of the Himalayas and followed the trail to the name 'Karmar-Taj'."

Upon hearing the words "Himalayas".

Master Wang's back was instantly soaked with sweat.

Finished!

So focused on being shocked by Lin Jie's abnormal physique, they completely forgot about the catastrophic disaster that had been caused!

"Trouble has come knocking again." The Ancient One put away her folding fan and sighed softly.

Kamar-Taj defends against interdimensional invasions, while the Avengers defend against aliens.

The two sides originally kept to themselves and shared the same goal.

But Master Gu Yi knew perfectly well what was going on.

Behind the Avengers stands S.H.I.E.L.D., and Nick Fury.

Dealing with politicians?

She had absolutely no interest in it.

Once S.H.I.E.L.D. finds out the truth, there will definitely be trouble they can't shake off, and they might even try to control the sorcerer.

Hiding in the shadows is the best strategy.

"Mordo, Lucian, you may leave now. Your Majesty, you may remain." The Ancient One waved her hand, giving the order.

Mordo and Lucian respectfully took their leave.

In an instant, only Master Wang and Gu Yi remained in the vast fighting arena.

"Master." Master Wang lowered his head, his voice trembling, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

I was extremely nervous.

The Ancient One immediately saw through the Master Wang's predicament, her tone calm yet her words piercing: "Are you afraid? Is it because Mount Everest in the Himalayas was cleaved in two by Lin Jie with a single stroke?"

boom!

Master Wang felt as if a hand grenade had exploded in his head.

It can't be hidden! It's impossible to hide it!

Master knows everything!

Master Wang quickly wiped the cascade of sweat from his forehead. However, he felt a sense of relief instead.

Thank goodness, starting tomorrow, I finally won't have to teach this monster anymore!

Lin Jie doesn't play by the rules at all; anyone who tries to teach him will be driven crazy!

"Yes...yes..." Master Wang stammered in agreement.

The Ancient One turned around, her back to the King of Sorcery, and began to recount the troubles one by one: "That kid Lin Jie has caused quite a bit of trouble. First, he offended Odin by opening the door, then he went to New York and fought with the Avengers, and now he's even shredded Mount Everest..."

This is a case of settling scores later!

Master Wang swallowed hard, and his legs began to tremble again.

This is settling scores later!

If these trivial matters lead to the Ancient One firing Lin Jie, then Kamar-Taj would suffer a huge loss!

"Master!" Master Wang, sweating profusely, quickly stepped forward to defend Lin Jie, "This really isn't Lin Jie's fault! It's all my fault!"

Master Wang gritted his teeth and took all the blame upon himself: "It was Carter and I who didn't understand this kid's background at first. We tried to fool him and gave him a bunch of bad advice, which caused all this trouble. If you want to punish someone, punish me, please don't expel him!"

Seeing Master Wang's protective attitude, Master Gu Yi turned around, her face still showing no emotion.

"It seems you value this Lin Jie highly?" Ancient One asked in return.

Master Wang nodded repeatedly, his tone exceptionally sincere: "Master, Lin Jie is such a rare talent."

"His comprehension is ridiculously high, but he seems to have no concept of it at all."

"The apprentices who came in at the same time as him are still practicing basic string pulling. He is not arrogant at all, but humbly seeks their advice."

"These past few days, he asked the senior brother and me one by one, and his attitude has always been very humble, without showing any arrogance."

"You couldn't find a promising talent like him, who is humble, hardworking, and down-to-earth, even with a lantern!" Master Wang said sincerely.

Master Gu Yi nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

"You're right," the Ancient One sighed softly. "Compared to Mordo and Lucian's arrogance when they first joined the sect, Lin Jie's character is indeed commendable."

Upon hearing this, Master Wang did not dare to respond.

What are your thoughts on Mordo and Lucian?

He doesn't have the guts.

Lucian is the youngest archmage in Kamar-Taj, while Mordo is the senior master in charge of discipline.

Both of them are inherently arrogant, especially Lucian, whose pursuit of power borders on madness.

"Let's go." The Ancient One didn't continue the topic. "Let's go to the library and pick out a suitable spellbook for Lin Jie."

"Yes!" Master Wang felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly followed.

The two walked out of the fighting arena side by side.

On the way back to the library, we had to cross the outdoor training ground.

I had just reached the edge of the training field.

Master Wang and Master Gu Yi stopped in their tracks at the same time.

The two looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

In the center of the training field.

Lucian didn't teach basic magic, but instead... taught military boxing?!

Dozens of apprentices lined up in a square formation, following Lucian as he punched and roared.

The most outrageous thing is that Lucian himself played more seriously than anyone else, with standard and precise movements!

Master Wang's eye twitched violently.

We're doomed.

Could Lucian really believe that by having his apprentices practice this military-style boxing that has no practical combat use, he can develop a freakish physique like Lin Jie?!

This is like seeing someone else win a hundred million in the lottery, and then you go bankrupt and buy the same set of numbers.

That's pure cerebral palsy!

Even the Ancient One couldn't help but shake her head and quickly left the training ground.

......

Early the next morning.

Lin Jie had a rare good night's sleep and arrived at the fighting arena feeling refreshed.

When I go to the library, my senior classmate Carter always accompanies me.

Today, it was Carter's turn to meet the Sorcerer Supreme, so he slipped away to the training ground early to practice on his own, afraid of being affected by the powerful figures' aura.

I just stepped into the fighting arena.

Lin Jie only saw Master Wang, but did not see Gu Yi.

Good morning, Master Wang.

Lin Jie greeted them politely.

"Come with me." Master Wang beckoned to him and turned to walk towards a quiet room behind the fighting arena.

Push open the wooden door.

Incense burned in the quiet room, and the Ancient One sat cross-legged on the couch with her eyes slightly closed.

On the low table in front of me were two cups of steaming hot tea.

"Please sit down," Master Wang said, pointing to the empty seat opposite Master Gu Yi.

After Lin Jie obediently sat down cross-legged.

Master Wang turned and left the meditation room, closing the door behind him.

The room fell silent instantly.

A lone man and a lone woman, staring at each other blankly.

To be honest, Lin Jie was a little nervous.

After all, the person in front of him is a top-tier super boss in the entire Marvel Universe.

As a nobody who just transmigrated here, it's impossible not to feel a little scared when facing an existence of this level.

Before Lin Jie could figure out how to break the deadlock,

Ancient One slowly opened her eyes, her gaze calmly falling on Lin Jie.

"Lin Jie, how long have you been in Kamar-Taj?" The Ancient One's voice was soft, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"It's been about a week, Your Excellency," Lin Jie replied honestly.

The voice just fell.

The Ancient One's gaze suddenly became incredibly sharp, like two daggers piercing Lin Jie's eyes.

"So, where did you come from?"

The Ancient One's tone suddenly turned cold, carrying an oppressive feeling that made it hard to breathe.

"All the apprentices I recruit at Kamar-Taj were personally selected by me during my travels around the world, or I intentionally guided them to come here."

"but......"

"I've searched through all my memories, but I've never seen you before."
