American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

Gu Yi was completely stunned, her mind filled with disbelief.

Lin Jie has been learning magic for less than three weeks!

It's one thing to say he has extraordinary talent.

But now, a novice has actually summoned Hoggus's ancient body on his first incantation?

Did they directly gain the approval of the gods?

Who is Hoggs?

Any mage who has spent time in Kamar-Taj knows that Hogger is part of Vishanti!

The Vishanti are the energy ATMs for most mages in Kamar-Taj, and are composed of three ancient gods.

Generally speaking, ancient gods were very grand and imposing.

You want to borrow power?

Alright, let's go through the eighty-one tribulations first and temper our minds.

Vishanti was the same way.

The Ancient One was tortured to the point of near death in order to learn this move.

It took him a full twenty years to fight against dark creatures in various other dimensions before he finally gained the approval of the Vishanti and released the first magic to alter reality.

She was so moved that she almost cried.

And now?

Why did Vishanti stop pretending when he got to Lin Jie?

What about hardship?

What about the test?

All gone!

They just sent the power down directly?

Is Lin Jie related to Vishanti?!

Gu Yi felt a lump in her throat, and was even a little angry.

Looking back on the twenty years she suffered beatings and hardships, she felt incredibly cheated.

It's like you go through countless hardships to obtain a peerless artifact, only to find that someone else casually reaches out and a powerful figure simply gives them the exact same one for free.

How infuriating!

Was all the suffering I endured over the past twenty years a complete waste of time?

"Master, why did the sofa disappear and turn back into a table?"

Lin Jie's voice suddenly interrupted Gu Yi's thoughts.

Gu Yi snapped out of his daze.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her frustration, and went to the table to pour herself a cup of chrysanthemum tea to cool down.

"Spells are just a stepping stone," the Ancient One said calmly, taking a sip of tea. "The power of the gods entered your body just now, didn't it?"

Lin Jie nodded honestly: "There is a very strong force."

"This is the focus of your training from now on," the Ancient One explained. "The energy lent to you by the gods has taken root within you. You must continuously enhance it. The stronger this energy, the greater the scope of your modifications and the longer it will last. Each time you use it, reciting a spell will activate it."

Lin Jie's eyes darted around, and he quickly asked, "Master, what would happen if we refined this energy to its highest level?"

Gu Yi stared at him and uttered a few words in a serious tone: "Permanent modification."

permanent?!

Lin Jie's eyes lit up: "Holy crap, doesn't that mean we can do whatever we want?"

Gu Yi's face twitched.

The phrase "do whatever you want" is just too arrogant.

but……

"That's how it is in theory."

Gu Yi did not refute.

But doing whatever you want in the universe is easier said than done.

In the multiverse, there are high-level deities who act as overseers.

If this incredible ability is misused, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Moreover, Lin Jie has only just begun to grasp the basics.

This magic is much harder to learn than teleportation!

"Lin Jie, you must remember this," the Ancient One earnestly admonished him, "Magic isn't that simple. The universe has its own ironclad laws. You must first understand the rules before you can utilize them. Understand?"

"Understood, Master, I've got it." Lin Jie nodded.

"Alright, you've learned quite a few spells lately, but don't try to learn too much at once. Astral projection, spatial teleportation, and even today's reality manipulation—you'll all need time to understand them. Your enemies are more terrifying than you think."

Gu Yi waved her hand, then sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes. "Go back and practice."

"Alright, goodbye Master."

Lin Jie happily slipped out of the main hall.

Walking on the stone-paved streets of Kamar-Taj, Lin Jie's mind was filled with images of altering reality.

He had absolutely no idea where the limits of this new skill lay.

How big can it become? How long can it remain that way? We have no idea.

You need to practice a lot more.

With this in mind, Lin Jie started walking and trying it out.

He pointed to a stone by the roadside, recited a spell, and the stone turned into a fake bird.

After waiting for about three to five minutes, the fake bird turned back into a stone with a "bang".

Lin Jie frowned.

Practicing with inanimate objects like stones will never allow you to test the limits of your skills.

He needs a resilient living creature to act as a guinea pig and test it properly.

Just as I was wondering where to find lab rats, a loud voice suddenly came from the fighting arena not far away.

"Wait, where's my hammer?! When are you going to give it back to me?!"

Lin Jie turned his head to look.

In the center of the fighting arena, the blond, burly man, Thor, was shouting loudly at Master Wang with his neck stiffened.

Lin Jie's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Isn't this just a ready-made guinea pig?

At this moment, Thor was staring intently at the King of Laws with his eyes as big as copper bells.

It's been five whole days!

Since Thor recovered from his injuries, he has been cooped up in the lifeless Kamar-Taj for five whole days!

Aside from coming to the fighting arena every day to learn from Wang how to generate electric shocks with bare hands, he spends the rest of his time spacing out.

As a noble prince of Asgard, what's the point of spending all day holed up in this dilapidated courtyard instead of fighting and drinking beer?

"This place is absolutely boring! I can't stand it for another second, I'm going back to Asgard!" Thor yelled at the king, spitting everywhere.

Wang, with his hands behind his back and without even lifting his eyelids, said, "Karmar-Taj has Wi-Fi. The password is posted at the entrance of the dining hall. You can connect to it to pass the time."

After these few days of mutual torment, Wang had long since become immune to Thor's volatile temper.

In the past, Wang would have slapped him across the face long ago. Now? You'll get used to it.

"Wi-Fi?" Thor was stunned, his eyes widening. "You cavemen live in a place with internet?"

Wang rolled his eyes, his gaze full of disdain: "Of course, we're not cavemen. But first, do you have a smartphone?"

Saul shook his head and said matter-of-factly, "I don't use a cell phone, but I can send emails, and I've used computers before. Do you have a computer here that I can borrow?"

If there were internet access, Saul thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to stay a couple more days.

"No, bring your own if you want to play," Wang refused decisively.

Actually, there were several tablet computers in the library, but even a fool could tell that lending them to this brute would be a one-way trip, and they would definitely be smashed to pieces within half a day.

"Alright! I'll go back to Asgard and bring one over right away!" Thor waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Stop right there." The king's tone was firm. "Rules are rules. The Sorcerer Supreme instructed that you cannot leave Kamar-Taj until you have mastered the art of controlling lightning with your bare hands."

Thor panicked: "I've already learned it! I can do it even without the hammer. Didn't I demonstrate it for you yesterday?"

Wang scoffed and mercilessly exposed him: "You call yesterday's electric spark the power of Thor? I don't think it even qualifies as static electricity on a sweater."

Wang couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how Thor had held back for so long yesterday, only to end up with a tiny spark the size of a lighter on his fingertip.

This guy dares to call himself Thor?

"I've only been practicing for three days!" Thor felt insulted, his face turning bright red. "I practiced extra in my dorm last night, and now I can definitely summon a real thunderstorm!"

"Oh?" Wang became interested, took two steps back, making room for a large area, "Come on, show me your true strength."

Although he mocked him verbally, Wang knew in his heart that Thor was, after all, a god, and his body naturally contained a huge amount of lightning energy.

Once you grasp the knack, it's only a matter of time before it explodes.

Wang retreated simply because he didn't want to be accidentally injured by the commotion that was about to happen.

"Watch closely!"

Thor roared, his temper completely ignited.

He planted his feet in a horse stance, his expression more serious than ever before.

Take a deep breath.

Thor suddenly raised his hands, his fingers spread wide, and desperately tried to activate the dormant divine power within him.

At first there was no sound at all, but when Thor caught a glimpse of the mockery in the king's eyes, he immediately became anxious.

He gritted his teeth, the veins on his neck bulged, and his face turned bloodshot, as if it were about to bleed.

A few seconds later, a miracle occurred.

Zizizi!

Blinding blue arcs of electricity actually appeared in Thor's palms.

"Yes! That's the feeling! My power is back!" Thor roared excitedly.

Lin Jie, hiding behind a pillar, watched with great interest, while Wang Ye, who had been watching the show from the side, suddenly straightened up, abandoning his nonchalant attitude.

Boom!

a bolt from the blue!

The once clear sky was suddenly filled with a large, thick, dark cloud that appeared out of nowhere and hovered directly above the fighting arena.

Lightning flashed faintly in the dark clouds.

"Holy crap, could this idiot have actually awakened the power of Thor?"

Wang couldn't help but swallow.

"That's right!"

Thor became even more smug upon hearing the king's mutterings.

He raised his right hand above his head as if he were holding an invisible warhammer, pointing it directly at the thunderclouds in the sky.

"Witness the true power of the gods! Foolish mortals!"

Thor roared, "Power of Thunder! Descend!"

boom--!!!

A deafening roar echoed through the sky, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket descended from the heavens, heading straight for Thor.

Its power is earth-shattering!

Wang's eyes widened, and he even activated his mage's perception eye, staring intently at the sky.

But the next second, Wang froze.

At the moment the lightning struck, he seemed to see that the trajectory of the lightning had deviated slightly.

There was a muffled "bang".

The devastating lightning bolt missed Thor's raised right hand and struck him squarely in the buttocks.

The lightning dissipated.

The fighting arena was deathly silent.

Lin Jie was trying so hard to suppress his laughter that his stomach cramped up.

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a strange smell into the air.

Wang sniffed and asked expressionlessly, "Thor, can you smell something?"

Thor maintained his imposing pose with one finger pointing to the sky, but his body began to tremble violently: "..."
