American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

"King, are you kidding me?" Mordo complained irritably. "The battle is about to start, and you're giving a live lesson? Do you really think he's a god who can learn something just by watching?"

Am I supposed to just stand here and wait for him to master the object-retrieving magic before I can fight him?

Mordo turned his head, looked at Lin Jie, and sneered: "Real combat won't give you the opportunity to learn on the spot. Since you don't have any magical artifacts, then use your magic to conjure some melee weapons to deal with me. Anyway, you can conjure more than three hundred kinds of weapons, right? That should be enough for you."

Mordo, impatient to wait any longer, raised the scepter of the Tribunal of Life with one hand, assuming an offensive stance.

however.

As soon as Mo Du finished speaking, he saw Lin Jie on the other side suddenly close his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Jie slowly raised his right hand.

Holy crap?

Modu's eyes widened.

This kid... he's actually trying to use a magic spell to retrieve objects?!

That's a lie!

Learning on the spot?

The thought had just flashed through Mordo's mind.

"Buzz—"

A subtle magical fluctuation spread out.

A ring of golden magical sparks actually appeared in the air in front of Lin Jie.

Although the speed of drawing the circle was much slower than that of Master Wang, it was indeed a complete object-retrieving array!

Modu swallowed hard, feeling a sharp pain in his face from the slap.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that anyone could learn magic so quickly!

How is this kid's brain even structured?!

Unlike Mordo's shock, Master Wang on the sidelines remained calm.

He was already used to Lin Jie's abnormally fast comprehension speed.

The magic of retrieving objects is of the same origin as teleportation, so it's not surprising that Lin Jie could learn it instantly given his mastery of spatial magic.

Master Wang was even a little smug. He leaned close to Master Gu Yi and whispered boastfully, "Supreme Master, look at Lin Jie's comprehension, isn't it amazing?"

The Ancient One continued to calmly fan herself with her folding fan, her face showing no emotional fluctuation.

"He's barely worth considering, but he's not exactly amazing," Gu Yi commented calmly.

Having been rebuffed, Master Wang could only cough twice and turn back to stare at the center of the arena.

Actually, what everyone is most curious about right now is not how fast Lin Jie learns.

Rather... what level of magical artifact he will be able to pull out from Kamar-Taj's vault when he casts his first retrieving spell!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Lin Jie suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, a hint of excitement flashing in them.

He decisively extended his right hand into the golden magic circle.

"Gotcha!"

Lin Jie muttered something to himself and pulled back forcefully.

The aperture vanished instantly.

Lin Jie looked at the item in his hand, nodded in satisfaction, and grinned at Mo Du, "Senior Brother, I'm ready. Let's begin the practical exercise!"

Mordo: ......

Master Wang: ......

Ancient One: ......

A deathly silence fell over the fighting arena.

The three big shots stared intently at Lin Jie's hands, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

If they're not blind...

In Lin Jie's left hand was a long, gleaming golden spear.

What he held in his right hand was a transparent cube that emitted a faint blue light.

Isn't this Odin's Spear of Eternity and the Tesseract hidden in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s underground vault?!

That unlucky kid!

Why are you buying supplies in Asgard again?!

Modu now feels like he wants to die.

Isn't it just a real-world sparring match?

I'm just teaching you some rules.

Why are you taking this so seriously, kid?!

If I let you casually pull out a magical artifact, you would simply steal Odin's bread and butter?

And it even comes with a free Cosmic Cube?

What's the point of fighting?!

"This..." The Ancient One paused, her folding fan still, and stared blankly at Lin Jie's stance, which included a spear in one hand and a Rubik's Cube in the other.

She turned to look at Master Wang, her tone tinged with helplessness, "Your disciple is too honest..."

Master Wang was so embarrassed that he kept rubbing his hands, his old face turning bright red.

Sin!

Lin Jie, you little rascal, you usually seem pretty clever, so why do you always act so stubborn at crucial moments?

Doesn't the eldest brother have any pride?

Why don't you just grab a lightsaber or a magic shield and make do?

They directly stripped the God King of his divine armor!

This clearly shows they don't want to leave Mordo with a complete corpse!

Master Wang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, secretly glancing at Modu out of the corner of his eye.

At this moment, Modu looked like a weathered statue.

He stared intently at the two divine items in Lin Jie's hands, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, his gaze filled with grief, indignation, and existential doubt.

Modu couldn't understand it at all.

The Spear of Eternity is an artifact that Odin always carries with him!

The Tesseract is a treasure hidden deep within S.H.I.E.L.D. or Asgard!

How did this kid manage to cross dimensions and even break through numerous barriers to precisely retrieve those two items?!

Is the barrier in Asgard made of paper?

"Senior Brother? Why are you spacing out?"

Seeing Mordo's stiff expression, Lin Jie kindly waved the Eternal Spear in his hand.

This call brought Modu's soul back to life.

"Huh?!" Mordo shuddered like a startled rabbit, clearly still not recovered.

"Senior Brother, I'm ready, let's begin."

Lin Jie gripped the Eternal Spear tightly with both hands, striking what he thought was a very cool attacking pose.

The golden spear tip reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight, exuding an inviolable and domineering aura.

Mordo: ......

Master Wang: ......

Ancient One: ......

beat?

Go ahead and hit me with your head!

Mordo roared inwardly.

Yes, what I hold in my hand is the scepter of the court of life.

The name does sound impressive.

Who is the Tribunal for Life?

That is the supreme deity who can decide the fate of the entire universe!

But the problem is!

The seal on this broken scepter hasn't been broken at all!

Without being unsealed, it's just a slightly hard, glowing fire poker!

Not to mention myself, even the Ancient One couldn't break the seal on this!

But look at what Lin Jie is holding in his hand?

The Eternal Spear!

That's a top-tier artifact that can pierce even a monster of the Heavenly Father level through the heart with a single shot!

Even more deadly is that there's an ironclad rule for object-retrieving magic:

As long as you can bring the ritual implement over, it means that the ritual implement has recognized you, and you can use it directly!

Even if Lin Jie only knows the basics now and can't unleash the full power of the Eternal Spear and the Cosmic Cube.

But with just the passive attributes that these two artifacts come with, it would be more than enough to crush Mordo!

How can we fight like this?

Are we going up there to die?

Modu's face turned from blue to purple, like a chameleon.

He stared intently at Lin Jie's confident face, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the kid was doing it on purpose!

It was absolutely intentional!

This kid is definitely holding a grudge against me for punching him earlier, and now he's armed with divine gear and ready to unleash a deadly revenge!

Fighting would definitely lead to certain death.

If I don't fight, where will I put my face as the senior disciple? I've already made those tough threats!

Mo Du was caught in a dilemma, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He turned his head and looked at the Ancient One with pleading eyes.

Master, please say something quickly and set some rules to limit this kid's equipment!

Otherwise, your eldest disciple would really be doomed here today!

however.

Mordo waited anxiously for a long time, but the Ancient One simply shook her folding fan again, smiling as she looked at the center of the arena, showing no intention of intervening.

Modu was utterly desperate.

Didn't the master realize that this fight was hopeless?

Seeing that Lin Jie was already eager to try and was about to thrust his spear at them.

Modu finally couldn't hold back any longer and forced himself to speak: "Master..."

"Hmm?" Ancient One responded casually.

"Junior brother, it seems your object-retrieving magic accidentally took Asgard's most prized possession." Mordo gritted his teeth, invoking a moral high ground. "To maintain the friendly relations between Kamar-Taj and Asgard, shouldn't these two artifacts be confiscated immediately and returned to the King of Gods personally?"

Modu was heartbroken.

Master, I've already prepared a way out for you, please don't just stand by and watch me die!
