American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

The Ancient One's words were already very straightforward.

Her meaning was clear: Lin Jie was not a talent she had personally selected.

If the Ancient One had known that Lin Jie possessed such extraordinary talent, why would she have placed all her hopes for the future on Stephen Strange?

Upon hearing this question, Lin Jie froze on the spot.

Oh no, how do we explain this?

You can't just lay it all out and say that you squeezed into the Marvel Universe on a time-travel flight, can you?

If the Ancient One heard this, she'd probably slice him up and study him on the spot.

Lin Jie broke out in a cold sweat as he frantically racked his brains trying to figure out how to get through this.

Unexpectedly, the Supreme Master's first private lesson turned out to be such a deadly question.

Just as Lin Jie was scratching his head in frustration, not knowing how to start the conversation...

The sharp expression on Ancient One's face suddenly vanished, replaced by a kind smile: "Don't be nervous. This problem seems irrelevant now."

Lin Jie's lips twitched violently.

Nima!

The big boss can change his mind faster than flipping through a book!

Just a moment ago, he exuded a murderous aura, but in the blink of an eye, he became as gentle as a spring breeze.

Who could stand this?

"What real skills did you learn during your week in Kamar-Taj?" The Ancient One changed the subject, speaking casually.

Lin Jie breathed a sigh of relief and carefully listed the techniques on his fingers: "Military boxing close combat taught by Master Wang, light-based weapons taught by Senior Brother Carter, fear magic I figured out myself, and teleportation portals. That's about it."

The Ancient One nodded slightly.

She reached under the low table and pulled out a thick, ancient book, handing it to him directly: "Take this book back and read it."

"What kind of book is this?" Lin Jie took it with both hands and flipped through it curiously.

"It contains most of the basic theories and common knowledge of the sorcerer world," the Ancient One explained. "Once you thoroughly understand everything inside, your foundation will be completely solid."

Lin Jie nodded obediently and placed the thick ancient book beside his lap.

At this moment, the Ancient One slowly stood up, her gaze fixed intently on Lin Jie: "What are your personal views on the word 'magic'?"

view?

Lin Jie stroked his chin and grinned, "I think magic is about releasing an energy within my body. Just like you taught me before, to unconditionally believe in yourself!"

Upon hearing this, the Ancient One smiled and said, "It's clear that you are very confident in your abilities."

Lin Jie shrugged: "A person has to have some self-confidence."

"That's right."

The Ancient One gently raised his right hand and casually waved it in mid-air.

Instantly, a square barrier, as transparent as glass, floated between the two.

Immediately afterward, the Ancient One's fingers twitched slightly. A crisp "click" sound rang out in the air.

The square barrier in front of Lin Jie shattered instantly, turning into countless diamond-shaped mirrors that refracted dazzling light and shadow in mid-air like a kaleidoscope.

"Magic is essentially about mastering the laws of nature. We follow nature, absorb its energy, and then release that energy to reshape reality," the Ancient One said, pointing to the fragments refracting in mid-air, "just like what's happening right now."

"Mirror space?" Lin Jie blurted out.

He's an expert at this move!

The signature skills of the Ancient One and Doctor Strange in Marvel movies are essential for fighting and destroying houses!

The smile on the Ancient One's face froze instantly.

This kid... how does he even know the names of the moves?

They stole all my lines!

The Ancient One waved her hand speechlessly, and the shattered mirror in mid-air vanished without a trace.

"You do know a lot." The Ancient One re-examined Lin Jie. "That was just a simple mirror demonstration. A true mirror space requires an extremely large amount of magic to create an independent dimension parallel to reality."

"This is an extremely profound and unique skill, consuming an astonishing amount of magic power. With your current level, it would be very difficult to fully master it."

Master Gu Yi concluded earnestly, "Today's lesson is only meant to make you understand one thing."

"The power of a spell depends on how much energy you have stored up."

"When your energy is vast enough, it can be transformed into any form of attack and defense."

"In Kamar-Taj, we call this power arcane."

Lin Jie nodded in sudden realization.

Only today did he fully understand that the heat that had been coursing through his body was the so-called magical energy.

However, Lin Jie felt a little strange.

He always felt that there was not just one kind of energy in his body, but a mixture of several different types of energy.

However, he is still a novice and can't distinguish what exactly they are.

"Come on, come with me." After saying that, the Ancient One turned around and pushed open the wooden door.

Lin Jie quickly picked up the magic book and hurried after him.

The two arrived at the open-air fighting arena one after the other.

At this moment, Master Wang and Senior Brother Modu were standing in the center of the field.

Both of them took off their loose mage robes and put on clean and sleek tight-fitting fighting suits.

"Supreme Master".

Upon seeing the Ancient One appear, both Master Wang and Mordo bowed in respect.

After bowing, Mordo turned around and fixed his gaze on Lin Jie, his voice cold and hard: "Come here, let's have a fight."

Another fight?

I just finished fighting Master Wang yesterday, and today it's Senior Brother's turn?

Is the Kamar-Taj test never going to end?

Lin Jie stood there, stunned, unable to react for a moment.

"Today isn't a basic test; there are no rules or restrictions!" Mordo cracked his knuckles, "You can use any magic you know! This is a real combat exercise!"

Learning magic without fighting is a waste of time.

From the day Lin Jie was promoted to a formal Dharma Master, all his cultivation would directly transition into the practical combat stage.

Growing through the clash of fists and magic is the only way to cultivate masters in Kamar-Taj.

However, Lin Jie was really unsure of himself.

His understanding of the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes primarily from the movies.

Mordo, as the senior disciple of Kamar-Taj, is undoubtedly among the most powerful.

Can the three tricks I've come up with these past few days really defeat this battle-hardened veteran?

Seeing Lin Jie's hesitation, Mo Du snorted coldly, his fighting spirit surging.

"Stop dawdling! You only learn from your mistakes when you get hit, and real combat is the fastest way for you to become stronger!"
