You Can Still Instantly Defeat Me!

Waking up, opening his eyes, a strange ceiling.

However, the slightly strong smell of medicine instantly made Feeney realize he was in a hospital. He turned his head and immediately spotted Skye dozing by the bedside.

"Skye!"

Feeney gently shook Skye. Not fully asleep, she woke up instantly. The moment she saw him, joy flashed in her eyes, as if she had been relieved.

"What's wrong with you?"

But the next second, Skye's expression turned serious. With a mix of anger and worry, she stood up and questioned, "The doctor said you were overworked, even to the point of overdrafting your life. What have you been doing lately?"

Because of the intense special training, Feeney had been somewhat ghostly and unpredictable this past week. Skye, busy with Stark Stocks, hadn't paid too much attention, never expecting such consequences.

"I was undergoing special training, and I accidentally went a bit overboard."

Feeney coughed dryly, concealing his intention to push himself to the brink.

"Special training!?" Skye was stunned at first, then frowned angrily, "Feeney, don't mess around. I don't think any special training would overdraft your life. If you keep this up, I'll go find Master Ancient One."

Skye had stayed at Kamar-Taj for a while and naturally knew the Ancient One, so her words carried significant weight.

"It's over now. I promise it won't happen again."

Feeney raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and promised. The moment before he lost consciousness, he already knew he had successfully broken through and activated the invisibility ability of 'Possessed by Evil Spirit,' so the purpose of the special training had been achieved.

And the surprise didn't stop there. In that situation, it wasn't just his physical strength that broke through, but also Feeney's willpower. Or rather, it was the breakthrough in willpower that led to the improvement in physical strength.

This result actually caused 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' to evolve slightly. Although the evolved ability wasn't much, it was exactly what Feeney needed most right now.

Ice and Snow Resistance.

After breaking through near death in the snow, when Feeney put on 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' again, the armor had evolved on its own, gaining resistance to ice and snow.

If he were to go to Mount Everest again, the howling winds and snow, while not becoming warm, would at least no longer be so bone-chillingly cold.

The only regret was that even though 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' had gained two new abilities, he still couldn't activate the fourth draw. He was only short by that tiny bit; perhaps one battle would be enough.

He checked his condition and confirmed he was fine, and the Eye of Agamotto was still securely on his hand. Feeney completed the discharge procedures. In reality, he hadn't been unconscious for long, only about five or six hours.

Leaving the hospital and feeling the beautiful sunshine outside, Feeney stretched comfortably. This was the closest he had ever come to death, so at this moment, he fully understood the happiness of being alive.

"Are you really not going to let the doctor examine you thoroughly?"

Skye's face was filled with worry. When he was being discharged, the doctor had advised further observation, but Feeney had firmly refused.

"I'm really fine. I was just a little overworked. It's not a big problem," Feeney comforted again helplessly.

"Alright."

Seeing that Feeney genuinely didn't look sick, Skye didn't insist further. She knew Feeney's special circumstances. In fact, if it weren't absolutely necessary, he wouldn't have come to the hospital. She was worried that an examination might reveal something.

Returning home, Feeney reflected on this breakthrough. Although he had intended to push himself, his final actions were indeed somewhat reckless.

The feeling of slowly approaching death was still vivid in his memory. While he had successfully broken through this time, what about next time? He wouldn't always succeed.

Therefore, Feeney understood that to improve his strength, he still needed to proceed steadily. This kind of suicidal breakthrough was enough to do only once in a while.

He glanced at the experience bar, which was only a sliver away, and Feeney was filled with anticipation. He would soon obtain his fourth skill.

Considering the first three skills, including 'Sumire's Fried Chicken Roll,' all had powerful effects, which made Feeney even more eager to know what the fourth skill would be.

Unfortunately, the aftereffects of his physical breakthrough were still present. Exhausted, he needed to rest properly before he could earn that last sliver of experience. Since Mordo seemed to be at Kamar-Taj during this time, he decided that this last bit of experience should be earned from Mordo, the most familiar and best 'Mordo experience baby.'

The distant Mordo suddenly sneezed!

"However, should I ask Teacher Ancient One for help to try it out..."

There was another matter that made Feeney hesitate. He had an idea: if he used the Eye of Agamotto to predict the future before drawing, could he get the skill he desired?

The future is ever-changing, and perhaps the skill drawn each second would be different.

However, there were two points that made him apprehensive. First, would this method even work on the system? Second, how could he explain it to the Ancient One to get her to help?

The system was Feeney's biggest secret, second only to his reincarnation. He didn't want to tell anyone about it.

Furthermore, those who play with time will inevitably be played by time. Just like Big Shot Ancient One, she could at most watch the future like a movie when she had nothing else to do, never giving spoilers.

Most importantly, Feeney couldn't find a reason for the Ancient One to help him.

Could he honestly tell the Ancient One, "I might awaken a new ability soon. Could you use the Eye of Agamotto to see what it is? If it's not good, I'll awaken it a bit later!"?

He was certain that if he said that, the Ancient One would absolutely ignore him!

As for secretly taking the Eye of Agamotto to look himself, it would be easier to just pry out the Time Stone inside and try it.

Only the Ancient One in all of Kamar-Taj could use the Eye of Agamotto. The spell to scry the future was a mystic art among mystic arts.

Speaking of which, Doctor Strange's magical talent...

Feeney felt he couldn't think about it. Just thinking about it made him feel sad.

After scratching his head in entanglement, Feeney still couldn't come up with a good solution. In the end, he had no choice but to give up for now. At worst, it would be a gamble of luck. Moreover, this method might not even work.

After resting sufficiently, Feeney immediately returned to Kamar-Taj and found Mordo, approaching him with a beaming smile.

"Let's go, let's go, let's spar! Fried chicken rolls are on me, and if you don't come, you won't get any!"

As soon as he spoke, Feeney demonstrated his role as a 'Sorcerer Breeder' of Kamar-Taj. The temptation of delicious food made Mordo, who wanted to refuse, become entangled.

"Alright, let's do it!"

In the end, Mordo gritted his teeth, unable to resist the temptation, and walked towards the training ground with Feeney.

"In a while, I might have some things to attend to, so I'll have less time to come here."

On the way, Feeney chatted casually with Mordo. He could perhaps be considered the most free sorcerer in Kamar-Taj. The Ancient One had never assigned him any missions, nor did he have to strictly adhere to study times; he had freedom to come and go as he pleased.

Therefore, there are no wrong names, only wrong nicknames. 'Ancient One's Most Favored Disciple' was not an undeserved reputation.

"Is it about your academics?"

Mordo asked casually. Those who knew Feeney well were aware that he was attending school in New York.

Feeney smiled without answering, changing the subject. "By the way, a heads-up, I just learned a very powerful new move. Don't get instantly defeated by it."

"Hmph, I have 17 spells that can defeat you!"

Mordo replied dismissively, secretly contemplating which method he would use to make Feeney lose later.

Seventeen ways to lose, and you still want to instantly defeat me!?
