People's Physique Cannot Be Generalized

Yang Xiao had been practicing the Heaven and Earth Great Shift for nearly 20 years, reaching the second level.

Zhang Wuji obtained the Heaven and Earth Great Shift and went from the first to the sixth level in half a day.

People's physiques cannot be generalized; in the face of talent, all common sense must give way.

Bai Jing had an exceptional memory. He could learn any action or language after hearing it once. Furthermore, his sight and hearing were extraordinary, allowing him to discern the subtlest changes in tone. As a result, after Wang said a spell just once, he could perfectly imitate it.

As for the precision of his movements, there was no need to even mention it. His gravity manipulation was at the nanometer level, capable of arranging even atoms with fine detail. Releasing such a grand movement with his hands was naturally not a problem for him!

Summoning dimensional energy was even less of an issue. It was precisely because his mental strength far surpassed that of ordinary people that he could perceive the dimensional space overnight!

Therefore, after Wang released it once, Bai Jing followed suit and directly created a shield!

The shield was only the size of a pot lid when held in his hand, but because it was a magical creation, its defensive power was extremely strong. It could directly block conventional firearm bullets and even withstand Dormammu's magical energy impact for a few seconds.

Seeing Wang's dumbfounded expression, Bai Jing smiled reservedly, "Next?"

After a long while, Wang emerged from the library dejectedly. On the way, he ran into the Ancient One.

"What's wrong, Wang?" the Ancient One asked, seeing his dejected state with some curiosity.

Although she could see the cause and effect with her abilities, life would lose too much of its fun that way.

"That Bai Kunlun..." Wang frowned.

"What about him?" The Ancient One's expression turned serious. She hadn't forgotten that Bai Kunlun was extremely powerful even without magic!

"His talent is too high, I'm afraid I can't teach him anymore!" Wang said with a mournful face.

"Uh..." The Ancient One was speechless. Why the dramatic pause? I almost wanted to unleash my power and fight Bai Kunlun!

"Two days, or rather, one night?" the Ancient One asked.

"But he's just that terrifying," Wang said, still feeling lingering fear. "He sensed another dimension through meditation overnight. He learns the basic spells I teach after hearing them once, without even needing to go to the square to practice with them. The belief that mastering magic requires long-term exploration and practice, which is true for us, seems to not exist for him at all!"

"Is that so?" The Ancient One nodded. "Then you can teach him to me next. Where is he now?"

"The library!"

All the magic in Kamar-Taj could be found in this library, including some forbidden spells.

This might be the work of a master. The Ancient One was quite confident in her own strength, especially since no magic had ever been stolen before.

The Ancient One arrived at the library, greeted Manila, who was guarding the books, and then saw Bai Jing sitting at a desk, reading a book.

"What are you reading?" the Ancient One asked.

"Teleportation portal!" Bai Jing replied.

"A teleportation portal is a spell that uses alternate dimensions to link two points in space. It requires an immense amount of energy, far more than what we can summon with our minds. Therefore, you will need the help of a Sling Ring!" The Ancient One placed a ring on Bai Jing's desk. "I believe this spell should not be difficult for you!"

"Gold?" Bai Jing said as he took the Sling Ring, scanning it. Although its surface was dark, that was from being handled so much, it was actually gold inside.

As for its appearance, it looked like a knuckle duster that could only fit two fingers, except the other side was flat.

I wonder if wearing the Sling Ring will affect my ability to drive a Ferrari.

"That's right. It's inscribed with a formation that can draw energy!" the Ancient One said.

"Then, if I wear the Sling Ring, will the power of other spells also increase significantly when I cast them?" Bai Jing asked.

"Yes, that's true!" the Ancient One nodded. "However, a spell isn't better just because it's bigger; the right one is the best!"

Because the magic here were all shaping spells, and the kind that could be used as melee weapons.

If it were a large fireball spell, then bigger would definitely be better.

If it were as big as the sun, and could be maintained for tens of billions of years...

Bai Jing nodded. Following the descriptions in the book and his memories from the movie, he began to cast the teleportation portal.

The image in his mind was naturally of his home.

His home from his previous life!

However, after the spatial gate swirled around for a bit, it dissipated.

"Concentrate. Think of the exact location you want to go to, as precisely as possible!" the Ancient One frowned. Given Bai Jing's talent, he should have succeeded on the first try!

Just like how she estimated Strange's talent, he should have learned it within 2 minutes, but Strange did it in less than 10 seconds.

Bai Jing sighed, nodded, and then tried again.

This time, the spatial gate opened normally. On the other side of the gate was a large bed, and behind the bed were rows of bookshelves.

Next to the bookshelves was a girl, holding a rag, taking down books one by one, wiping them, and then putting them back.

She immediately turned her head upon hearing the noise and saw Bai Jing on the other side of the portal.

"Ah!" The girl's face lit up with excitement. "Brother Bai."

"Is that you?" Lumira Ilyich Pavlichenko, with her red hair and wearing thick cotton clothes, looked like a little red pig.

Lumira ran over and rushed straight through the teleportation portal, but Bai Jing controlled her in mid-air.

"Who taught you to call me brother? And who taught you those moves?" Bai Jing's face darkened. This girl was not even 14 years old. Don't get me into trouble, even though her looks and figure don't suggest it!

"It was Sister Denny!" Lumira said shyly. "She said you don't like her type, and maybe you'd like my type."

Bai Jing rubbed his forehead. "Stop messing around. Go back and study properly. Learn more from Matt, and interact less with that woman. What is all this nonsense!"

"Oh..." Lumira nodded. As she turned her head, she saw the bald Ancient One beside her.

"Ah, brother, you were..."

BOOM!

Lumira was sent flying through a teleportation portal, landing on a large bed. The portal then vanished.

Bai Jing looked at the Ancient One expressionlessly. "Uh, I think I learned it!"

Just now?

What happened just now? Nothing happened, okay!

"Her eyes are very good, one in a million!" The Ancient One didn't care about the misunderstanding. At over 500 years old, her mindset had long been honed.

"What?" Bai Jing was bewildered.

"I said, she's very suitable to be a sniper!" The Ancient One frowned. She didn't like fighting, nor did she like pushing others towards combat. But she had just seen Lumira's 1.7 million futures, and she was indeed suited to be a sniper, and not just an ordinary one.

"Oh!" Bai Jing nodded. "But, it's fine to find a normal school for her to study. I don't need her to become some sniper."

Although he didn't interact much with Lumira, he truly saw her as a younger sister.

With him around, when would it be his sister's turn to fight?

Besides, if he failed, no matter how legendary Lumira was, it would be useless.

The Ancient One smiled and didn't continue the topic. Instead, she asked, "You've pretty much learned the basics of magic. Do you want to learn something more advanced?"

Bai Jing nodded. "Of course!"

Since I'm here, I might as well learn more to take back.

The Ancient One continued to smile. "You now have enough power to protect yourself. Whatever you sought before you came here, you should have obtained it by now. If you stop here, put down your Sling Ring, and go back to live your ordinary life, it's not too late."

"But if you want to go deeper, you will have to face a much more difficult choice!"

Bai Jing also smiled. "Teacher, I'm not afraid of difficult choices. I'm only afraid of living a meaningless life!"

The Ancient One was a little speechless. Are all those from China this resolute? Like Wang, and now Bai Jing, they agree without hesitation when it comes to major events. On the other hand, Mordo, Manila, Kaecilius, and the others from Europe and America get all tangled up and hesitate, going back and forth. Should I focus more on recruiting from China in the future?
