Could you use it without having learned martial arts?

You couldn't just flail around, could you?

Zhang Yang's words brought Berkeley back from his surprise. He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, then said to Zhang Yang, "You've already learned Kamar-Taj's ultimate technique! And you're still being greedy. Besides, take it slowly. Magic has to be learned step by step!"

Berkeley answered perfunctorily. Then he said to Aili, "Not bad, Aili. You can combine magic and martial arts quite well. At least this week of studying wasn't wasted. How about this? You take the lead, and we'll go help the injured together!"

Then Berkeley said to Zhang Yang, "Zhang Yang, you haven't learned martial arts, so come with me. We'll use the Rings of Raggadorr to block attacks and support Aili!"

Berkeley was the first person to leave an apprentice on the front lines—and that apprentice was even a female one.

Still, Aili didn't think much of it.

Her goal was to become the Sorcerer Supreme. As for aliens and the like, she naturally didn't take them seriously.

After hearing Berkeley's order, she headed forward.

Zhang Yang also followed Berkeley to rescue the citizens of New York City.

"Senior Apprentice Berkeley, why aren't you fighting?!" Zhang Yang couldn't help asking during the process.

To be honest, Zhang Yang didn't seem to have witnessed Senior Apprentice Berkeley's strength yet.

But it wasn't that Berkeley didn't want to fight!

He was so frightened that his legs were already going weak.

Before entering Kamar-Taj, Berkeley had been an ordinary person.

After entering Kamar-Taj, Berkeley had stayed there the entire time. Although he had learned magic, he had no actual combat experience.

Seeing the densely packed aliens, Berkeley's legs were still trembling.

However, he had to uphold his reputation as their senior apprentice.

Berkeley said solemnly to Zhang Yang, "Would someone like your senior apprentice here act so easily!? The main purpose this time is to bring you out for training! Unless absolutely necessary, your senior apprentice here won't act so easily! I can't help you forever! You have to rely on yourselves!"

"Life doesn't give you that much time to think and prepare! As long as you eliminate every enemy you see, it'll be a perfect sneak attack! So you must grow quickly..."

Roar~

Before Berkeley could finish speaking, a thunderous roar rang out.

The next moment, the entire ground began to tremble.

Zhang Yang, Berkeley, and Aili froze.

All three turned toward the source of the roar at the same time, and their expressions changed drastically in unison.

Especially Berkeley.

His legs were already starting to disobey him.

It was over... They had run into Hulk!

Chapter 31

A towering figure. Bulging muscles. Green skin. A roaring face.

Although the terrifying Hulk had long been famous throughout New York City, seeing him standing right in front of the three of them still brought them an invisible sense of oppression.

After all, this was a huge fellow who stood who knew how many centimeters tall and weighed as much as 522 kilograms!

At that moment, Hulk was brutally tearing aliens apart.

He smashed the cars parked along the roadside without mercy.

Judging by his manner, it seemed he wouldn't stop until he had turned all of New York City upside down.

"Senior Apprentice Berkeley! It's time for you to act!" Zhang Yang took a step back and said expectantly.

Aili also took a step back when she saw this.

That huge fellow Hulk clearly wasn't someone Aili could deal with.

"Senior Apprentice Berkeley! It's time to show off Kamar-Taj's advanced magic!" Aili nodded at Berkeley, her face equally full of anticipation.

Who wouldn't want to learn a little more?

This training opportunity was practically perfect.

To deal with the aliens, the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj would surely use their best techniques!

Although Zhang Yang had never seen Senior Apprentice Berkeley's strength,

he believed it shouldn't be too bad.

If Senior Apprentice Berkeley could display a few more spells now and Zhang Yang could secretly learn them, that would count as one of the purposes of this training trip.

Berkeley, however, clearly had no idea what Zhang Yang was thinking.

Seeing Zhang Yang and Aili continually push him toward the fire pit,

Berkeley was truly on the verge of tears.

He couldn't help thinking:

These two aren't suspecting that I'm useless, are they?!

Good heavens!

It's Hulk!

If that big guy punches me, I should be able to stay dead for quite a while, right?!

At that moment, Berkeley was so frightened that his legs had gone weak. He couldn't move at all, let alone fight Hulk.

But there was a problem.

What if Zhang Yang and Aili became suspicious if he didn't go?

Berkeley took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his fear, and clenched his fists.

At the same time, Hulk's gaze seemed to turn toward Berkeley.

A man and a giant stood on the smoke-filled streets of New York City, surrounded by ruins.

It was as though they had already fought three hundred rounds, and the scene was extraordinarily dramatic!

Roar!

Hulk let out an angry roar first.

His ferocious face was filled with rage as he glared at Berkeley.

After that roar, Berkeley's already-weak hands began to tremble.

Behind him, however, were his junior apprentices, watching him expectantly and hoping to see him knock Hulk down.

Should he lose face or lose his life?

Berkeley waged an endless struggle in his heart.

Hulk, however, seemed unwilling to give Berkeley time to hesitate.

After roaring, Hulk charged toward the three of them.

Although Hulk was enormous, he wasn't slow in the slightest.

Seeing that escape was impossible,

Berkeley had to lose either his face or his life.

He didn't know whether he could preserve his life, but he definitely had to preserve his dignity.

"Listen carefully!" Berkeley suddenly shouted, as if bolstering his own courage. "At Kamar-Taj, there are no cowards!"

As he said this, Berkeley had already used a communication spell to call for help from his senior apprentice, Kaecilius.

At the same time, that shout also quickened Hulk's advance.

After running several steps, Hulk suddenly leaped into the air.

That jump took him as high as a ten-story building.

Hulk even controlled his landing point perfectly.

He raised both clenched fists high overhead and smashed down toward Berkeley.

Hulk was already powerfully built and immensely strong. Adding a strike from midair, he clearly had no intention of leaving Berkeley a way to survive!

"Senior Apprentice Berkeley! Watch out!"

"Senior Apprentice Berkeley! Act quickly!"

Seeing Hulk like that, Zhang Yang and Aili hurriedly retreated several steps. But when they saw Senior Apprentice Berkeley still standing motionless in place,

they couldn't help shouting as Hulk descended from above.

Yet Senior Apprentice Berkeley still didn't move.

"As expected of our senior apprentice. To remain motionless even in such a dangerous situation is truly admirable!" Aili couldn't help sighing at the sight.

The instant Aili finished speaking, Hulk crashed down toward Berkeley.

His falling speed was astonishing.

Just as Hulk was about to smash into Berkeley, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Berkeley raised his hand and directly cast a Portal in midair.

Hulk plunged headfirst into the Portal and disappeared.

Aili: ...What?!

Zhang Yang: ...=-=]]].

Chapter 32

To be honest, Zhang Yang and Aili had thought Senior Apprentice Berkeley would display some more high-end magic.

After all, his opponent was Hulk.

However, reality proved otherwise. Berkeley had still used a Portal, that old-fashioned spell Zhang Yang had already learned until he was sick of it.

With Hulk gone, the surroundings briefly fell quiet.

Zhang Yang and Aili also walked over to Berkeley.

"Senior apprentice, I thought you were going to use some advanced magic. In the end, it was still a Portal." Zhang Yang sounded somewhat dissatisfied.

He felt a little depressed. He hadn't secretly learned anything.

"What do you know! Advanced magic or low-level magic—any magic is good magic as long as it's practical!" Berkeley said solemnly, his tone full of authority.

"I think Senior Apprentice Berkeley is right." Aili nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Yang couldn't help frowning.

Could it be that this senior apprentice of mine doesn't know anything at all?!

But after thinking about it, he let it go. After all, Wong was teaching him now.

Zhang Yang shrugged and said to Berkeley, "Then, senior apprentice, let's continue rescuing people."

"Mm." Berkeley nodded at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang and Aili headed forward. After only a few steps, they noticed something: Berkeley didn't seem to be following them.

"Senior apprentice? Come on!" Zhang Yang turned around and called to Berkeley.

"You two go on ahead. Your senior apprentice will catch up later." Berkeley spoke solemnly.

Zhang Yang and Aili exchanged a glance, confused.

But since it was their senior apprentice's instruction, neither of them said anything. They continued forward.

How could they know that?
