American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

Upon hearing this, Master Wang's face instantly turned bright red, resembling a ripe tomato.

When he was learning astral projection, he was stuck for five whole years, and in the end he couldn't even force out a phantom of a soul, so he had no choice but to give up.

Seeing Lin Jie not only easily leave his body but also wander around aimlessly, he felt a surge of jealousy.

Seeing the mage's humiliated expression, Thor couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's this stellar projection? Is it that powerful? Can souls fight each other?"

Master Wang rolled his eyes at him, annoyed: "Nonsense! The Supreme Master's soul is countless times stronger than her physical body! Not only can she cast spells with her soul, but she can also create soul clones!"

"A soul can split into two?" Thor's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. "Do you think this is some kind of magic trick?"

"What do you know, you big, dumb idiot who only knows how to smash people with a hammer!" Master Wang sneered. Actually, he was just guessing about the soul clone thing. But he firmly believed that with the Ancient One's abilities, she could definitely do it!

Lin Jie, who was floating in mid-air, heard the conversation between the two and secretly memorized the term "soul clone".

It seems I'll have to think about this trick more carefully in the future.

Just then, Lin Jie suddenly felt a strong pulling sensation from the depths of his soul, accompanied by a wave of dizziness.

"My magic is almost gone, I need to get back quickly." Lin Jie's soul shuddered, and he waved to Master Wang and Thor, "You guys keep practicing, I'm leaving!"

After saying that, with a "whoosh," Lin Jie's soul transformed into a stream of light and headed straight for the quiet room.

……

Quiet room.

The Ancient One sat cross-legged opposite Lin Jie's physical body, her expression numb.

A full seven and a half hours!

Lin Jie, that kid, had his soul leave his body for the first time and actually wandered around outside for seven and a half hours!

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Jie's physical body was starting to turn pale, the Ancient One would have personally intervened to pull his soul back.

"Whoosh!"

A semi-transparent phantom passed through the wall and instantly disappeared into the flesh on the ground.

Lin Jie suddenly opened his eyes, panting heavily, and rubbed his throbbing temples: "Hiss—I'm a little dizzy."

The Ancient One looked at him, took a deep breath, and tried to make her voice sound calm: "It's normal, you'll get used to it."

You'll get used to it?

If it were any other mage, they'd be lucky to last even three minutes on their first out-of-body experience. If they were forced to stay outside for seven hours, their soul would have long since vanished into thin air!

You've been out having fun for so long, and all you come back to say is "I feel a little dizzy"?!

"Master, I just heard Master Wang say that if you practice astral projection to a high level, you can even create a soul clone?" Lin Jie asked excitedly.

Ancient One's eye twitched slightly. This big mouth of Master Wang really dares to say anything.

However, she didn't deny it, but simply nodded in agreement: "Magic has no limits. As long as you can understand its mysteries and grasp its underlying laws, you can even create magic yourself."

"Create your own magic..." Lin Jie's eyes lit up, and he nodded emphatically. "I understand! Master, I will continue to work hard!"

"Go and rest. That's enough for today's training." The Ancient One dismissed him, as she desperately needed some peace and quiet to process the shock Lin Jie had brought her.

……

Early the next morning.

Lin Jie arrived at the temple in high spirits to report for duty.

He was just about to sit cross-legged to continue practicing astral projection when the Ancient One stopped him.

"Let's put astral projection aside for now." The Ancient One looked at Lin Jie and went straight to the point, "How's the progress on the spatial magic I asked you to study?"

The biggest taboo in learning magic is trying to do too much at once and neglecting other aspects. The Ancient One was worried that Lin Jie would become obsessed with astral projection and neglect his training in spatial magic.

"It's alright." Lin Jie scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "Master, last night when I went back, I combined the teleportation portal with the power of space, and it seems... I accidentally created a new spell."

Ancient One was slightly taken aback.

To comprehend new magic from existing magic? That's something only a grandmaster-level mage can do!

How long has Lin Jie been a beginner? How come he has already touched the threshold of creating his own magic?

The Ancient One became interested and gently raised her folding fan: "Show it to me."

"Okay."

Lin Jie walked to the center of the hall, took a deep breath, and slammed his hands on the ground.

"Buzz—"

A massive surge of magical power flowed from Lin Jie's hands into the ground. Immediately afterward, a complex magic circle radiating dazzling golden light slowly appeared beneath Lin Jie's feet.

Summoning circle?!

The Ancient One recognized the nature of this magic at a glance. It was indeed a high-level application of spatial magic, capable of directly summoning people or objects from afar across space.

She originally planned to teach Lin Jie this later, but she didn't expect the kid to figure it out on his own first.

"Try summoning something and see where your limits are," the Ancient One encouraged.

Lin Jie closed his eyes, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. The magic circle on the ground grew brighter and brighter, even emitting a slight humming sound.

Five minutes passed.

There was nothing above the magic circle.

Ten minutes have passed.

Lin Jie was covered in sweat, but the light from the magic circle began to dim.

The Ancient One gently shook his head.

It seems that although this kid has grasped the form of the summoning circle, he hasn't mastered the true spatial positioning laws, which led to the summoning failure.

But that's normal. It's already a miracle that they were able to create a rudimentary summoning circle in such a short time.

"If you find it difficult, don't force yourself," the Ancient One comforted her. "It's already quite good that you've grasped the basics of summoning magic. I'll explain the principles to you in detail later..."

however.

The Ancient One hadn't finished speaking.

Her expression suddenly changed, and she abruptly stood up from her seat!

Because she keenly sensed that just as the light of the magic circle was about to go out, an extremely violent surge of lightning energy forced its way through the spatial rift!

Lin Jie's summoning spell did not fail!

"Crack—Boom!"

A bolt of blue lightning, as thick as a water vat, pierced through the roof of the temple and struck the center of the magic circle!

The blinding flash of light made Lin Jie instinctively close his eyes.

When the light fades.

"Bang!"

A square iron hammer engraved with mysterious runes and with a leather strap wrapped around its handle slammed heavily onto the stone slab in front of Lin Jie.

Mjolnir, Thor's hammer?!

Didn't I smash this hammer to pieces? How come another one has appeared, completely intact?!

Lin Jie was stunned.

Before Lin Jie could figure out what was going on...

A furious, heart-wrenching roar suddenly came from above the magic circle:

"Who?! Who stole my new hammer just as I was about to hold it?! Aaaaaaaahh ...

Hearing that familiar loud voice, Lin Jie's lips twitched violently.

That voice... why does it sound so much like that big, goofy Thor who's forging iron all the way in Nidavellir?!
