In the training ground outside the Kama Taj Chamber, a bunch of apprentices were practicing magic, and Stephen was among them, but the future Supreme Mage was now in a very awkward position.

The other apprentices around him had successfully gathered a magic circle, and Stephen anxiously drew a scoop on the gourd, but still nothing appeared, not even a spark in front of him.

It's embarrassing, but luckily the apprentices around him are the type who are unaffected by their concentration, otherwise if he pointed at Stephen and whispered, Stephen might be so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into.

However, Stephen was very discouraged by the fact that he couldn't even do the most basic Gathering Magic Array, and he felt that it was impossible for his crippled hands to successfully perform magic.

Then, for the next lesson, everyone took a strange ring that passed through two fingers from Mordo's hand.

"Mastering the Hanging Ring is essential for learning magic, the Hanging Ring allows us to travel through the multiverse, all you need to do is concentrate on imagining and sketching out the destination in your mind......"

Mordo walked around the apprentices while explaining carefully, the apprentices stretched out their left hands flat, their right hands waved in circles, and a golden circle of light appeared in front of everyone, just because everyone mastered it to a different degree, and the size of the aperture was also different.

Stephen still didn't make progress, only sporadic sparks appeared in front of him, and his face was full of unwillingness.

Just when all the apprentices were trying to expand the size of the aperture to the size that a person could pass through, suddenly, a two-meter-diameter golden aperture appeared out of thin air, and Gao Ming, dressed in a black robe, walked out, holding a glass of Coke in his left hand and a hamburger in his right hand, which had already taken a bite, and a family bucket full of fried chicken floating in the air behind him.

Gao Ming chewed it, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said hello leisurely: "Morning everyone, I went out to buy a breakfast, you continue." ”

Looking at Gao Ming's figure leaving slowly, there was a family bucket floating behind him, all the apprentices were unstable, all the apertures in front of him were extinguished and dissipated, and their eyes looked at Gao Ming's back with complicated eyes.

Why is there such a big gap between people?

Among them, Stephen has the deepest feeling, obviously they are all people who came in at the same time, but Gao Ming has left everyone behind, even if Stephen knows that the other party is the superhero with great powers, he is still unwilling, is superhero destined to be stronger than ordinary people?

This made Stephen extremely frustrated, and at this time, the ancient one, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly said, "I want to talk to Mr. Strange alone." ”

Mordo nodded and said, "Okay." ”

He then directed the other apprentices to leave with him.

Stephen walked up to the Ancient One and said dejectedly, "It's impossible for my hands to perform magic. ”

"It's not about your hands," the Ancient One said calmly, "Master Hamil." ”

As the ancient one called, an old man dressed as a Taoist priest came over and pulled up the sleeve of his left hand, and Stephen was surprised to find that the left arm of Master Hamil was severed and bare, and there was no left hand, only the right arm was intact.

In this way, with an intact right arm and a mutilated left arm, Mage Hamil gestured in front of Stephen to condense the magic array, and a magic array was impressively formed.

Bang.

The magic array slowly dissipated, turned into sparks, and disappeared.

"It's hard work, Master Hamil."

Koichi nodded to Master Hamil, who nodded in return and walked away.

Looking at the silent Stephen, Gu Yi: "You can't make the river follow you, you have to follow its flow and use its power." ”

"So I'm going to give up control in order to control it?" Stephen was stunned and said, "It doesn't make sense." ”

"Not everything makes sense, it doesn't have to be justified, what you've learned has guided your life, but it won't take you any further, learn to be obedient, Stephen, let go of your ego."

With that, the Ancient One opened a portal and motioned for Stephen to follow her.

After passing through the portal, Stephen was surprised to find that they were in a snow-capped mountain, and Stephen asked uncertainly, "Wait, this can't be ......"

"Mount Everest." Gu Yi calmly said the answer in Stephen's heart, "It's beautiful, isn't it?" ”

Stephen rubbed his body and said tremblingly, "yes, it's beautiful, it's cold, but... It's beautiful. ”

"At this temperature, you can only survive for 30 minutes, and then you will permanently lose your human function," Gu Yi said with a smile, "but you will go into shock in the first two minutes." ”

Stephenton was not good, "What? ”

"Be obedient, Stephen."

The Ancient One passed through the portal and returned to Kama Taj, and Stephen quickly pounced, but the portal quickly disappeared.

"No, don't."

Stephen fell on the icy snow, and the wind was biting, causing him to jump immediately.

At this moment, Stephen's heart seemed to have 10,000 grass and mud horses running by.

Ancient One, count yourself ruthless......

……

Threatened by his life, Stephen finally burst out of his potential, opened the portal as expected, and returned to Kama Taj with snow and shivering.

After being forced by the ancient one once, Stephen's magic learning process soared, as if he had opened up the second vein of Ren Du, and he quickly got started with everything.

Stephen's mentality is also correct, he doesn't think highly of himself like in the past, and learns magic steadily, of course, Gao Ming also plays a large part of the influence.

I don't know when it started, Gao Ming didn't go to the library to read books, it's not that he has eaten all the books thoroughly, and learned all the magic, in fact, Gao Ming only picked a few magic and mastered it and didn't continue to learn, not the more you learn, the better, when fighting, how can you have so much time to think about tricks, it's enough to learn a few useful ones.

But even so, Gao Ming has reached a height that is difficult for Stephen to catch up with, and the magic he has mastered has become superb, and he reached out to come, Stephen asked Gu Yi, and Gu Yi said that if Gao Ming devotes himself to studying magic, he will soon be able to reach her level, and even Gao Ming's current magic level will have no problem inheriting the position of the Supreme Mage.

Stephen doesn't have any competitive heart for Gao Ming now, but he doesn't understand why Gao Ming refuses to continue learning magic.

However, when he thought of Gao Ming's original identity, Stephen also understood a little, even if he didn't continue to learn magic, Gao Ming was still so powerful, with all kinds of magical abilities, and magic was just icing on the cake.

As time passed, Stephen's magic level became higher and higher, and he could even easily open the portal to steal books from the library, of course, this was mainly a prank, and for this reason, the king went to the ancient one to complain.

On this day, Stephen honestly came to the library to read, he was reading the "Book of Cagliostro", and happened to turn to the introduction of the Supreme Mage Inheritance Artifact "Eye of Agamodo", Stephen bit the apple and looked up at the front, and the Eye of Agamodo was placed on the platform in front of him.

Stephen turned around sneakily and shouted, "King? ”

No one responded, and it seemed that the king was not there.

Stephen put the apple down, then walked to the platform, hung the Eye of Agomodo around his neck, and returned to his seat, following the steps in the book, ready to test the power of the artifact.

Unbeknownst to Stephen, behind him, two souls were watching him.

Out-of-body Gu Yi and Gao Ming.

The Ancient One watched silently as Stephen opened the Eye of Agamodo, cast his time magic, and aimed at the apple he had bitten into, and the apple turned over and became intact again.

The Ancient One sighed when he saw Stephen use time magic to restore the torn pages of The Book of Cagliostro.

Gao Ming looked at the time gem on Stephen's chest with burning eyes, if he wanted to take it, now was undoubtedly a good opportunity, but seeing the calm and relaxed Gu Yi next to him, Gao Ming reluctantly gave up his plan.

Gao Ming said: "He's going to find out the truth, won't you stop it?" ”

Gu Yi shook his head and said, "Everything is predestined, just let everything develop according to the trajectory of fate." ”

Hearing this, Gao Ming was a little silent and said, "Even if you know that you are going to die?" ”

Gu Yi didn't reply, but the meaning was self-evident.

At this moment, Gao Ming admired this mage a little, even if she knew that she would usher in death, in order to cultivate Stephen as an inheritor, she could still accept death calmly.

From beginning to end, the Ancient One knew how everything would develop, but he didn't show it in front of outsiders.
