Heroes of Marvel

Chapter 1047: Rise In Strength

After Lin Rui excitedly shouted those words, he quickly walked into the center of the square. Following the direction Lin Rui went, Mordo also caught sight of Lin Rui’s friend, Jack Franklin Stane.

Along the path Lin Rui hurried towards, there were several young sorcerers practicing magic, but three individuals stood out. These three sorcerers were not practicing on their own; they were engaged in magical combat.

Two of them were clearly a team, while the remaining sorcerer faced them alone. Jack, whom Lin Rui saw, was the one facing the other two sorcerers alone, battling against them in a two-on-one scenario. Lin Rui hadn’t expected Jack to have grown to this extent.

Buzzing!

Jack and the two opponents continuously unleashed various magical spells, and golden radiance occasionally erupted within this small area. Although Jack was fighting two-on-one, he didn’t seem to be struggling at all. In terms of spellcasting, Jack was faster than his opponent.

Moreover, because Jack had the enhanced physical abilities of a mutant, he was able to handle this combination of magic and melee combat with ease. As Lin Rui walked closer to Jack, he noticed that Jack was gradually gaining the upper hand against his opponents. This chapter is updated by Noᴠel Fɪre.net - ɴovᴇlbin

“Hah!”

PūPū!

Just as Lin Rui approached Jack’s location, Jack, who had already gained a clear advantage, let out a low shout. Then, two streams of golden light swiftly flashed and collided with the chests of the two sorcerers.

After two muffled thuds, the two sorcerers fell to the ground in a somewhat disheveled state. Jack emerged victorious in this practice battle.

Clap, clap, clap!

As Jack was about to go over and help his sparring partners up, a round of applause came from behind him.

“Brilliant! Brilliant!” Along with the applause, a familiar voice reached Jack’s ears.

Swish!

Upon hearing the applause and recognizing the familiar voice, Jack quickly turned his head to look. In the next moment, he saw Lin Rui walking towards him with a smiling face and applauding.

“Jackson!” Jack exclaimed with delight upon seeing Lin Rui.

“Haha! I saw it just now! You’ve truly become a formidable magic sorcerer!” Lin Rui said with a smile as he approached Jack.

Speaking of which, each member of the League of Defenders had their own background story and plot as protagonists, except for Jack and logistics specialist Jerry, who had no connection to the Marvel World storyline.

Therefore, Lin Rui had previously worried that Jack’s progress might stagnate. However, Lin Rui didn’t expect Jack to possess such a talent for magic, and a remarkable one at that.

“Hehe, I’m just average. There are many who are much more powerful than me!” Jack replied somewhat bashfully to Lin Rui’s words.

After arriving in the Himalayas, Jack had indeed witnessed many powerful sorcerers. However, this experience only fueled his determination to study magic even harder. After successfully standing out in the first round of the selection process, Jack devoted himself even more to practicing magic.

Among the young magic sorcerers, he was considered strong, but there were still many sorcerers in the world who surpassed them in power.

“You’re already amazing! In my opinion, among the members of the League of Defenders, aside from the newcomer Jeremy, who has so many mutant abilities to challenge you, no one else can be your match,” Lin Rui said with a smile, responding to Jack’s modesty.

“Except for Jeremy? What about you?” Jack suddenly stared at Lin Rui and asked.

Jack was well aware of Jeremy’s capabilities. When they were at the base, Jack had friendly battles with Jeremy. It had to be said that Jeremy, with his seven mutant abilities, was indeed formidable. If it weren’t for Jeremy’s somewhat unsmooth control over his seven abilities, Jack might have been overwhelmed in their matches.

“As for me? Hehe, you can try after this selection is over,” Lin Rui replied with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

Although Jack’s abilities had greatly increased due to his study of magic, Lin Rui believed he could still defeat Jack. Of course, if Jack truly grew to the level of a sorcerer like Doctor Strange, Lin Rui might have to admit defeat.

“Great!” Jack readily agreed, confident in his current strength. He was already quite powerful, and these days of further training would undoubtedly enhance his abilities.

“Oh, you were talking about him! Mirage Knight, your friend is one of the five young sorcerer stars chosen. His talent is exceptional,” Mordo, the sorcerer, interjected as he approached Jack and Lin Rui, smiling.

“Five young sorcerer stars?” Lin Rui regarded Jack even more highly upon hearing Mordo’s words.

Although he didn’t know how many young sorcerers had passed the first round of selections, the fact that Jack had earned such a title was enough to demonstrate his extraordinary talent in magic. After all, all things considered, Jack had only been studying magic for a few months.

“Hehe! Now, are you scared?” Jack asked with a proud look on his face adter seeing Lin Rui’s surprise once again.

“Scared of what? My abilities have also greatly improved. We’ll see when we have a match! Besides, there are five young sorcerer stars in total. You’re just one of them,” Lin Rui responded unreservedly to Jack’s pride.

“Hehe…”

Seeing Jack and Lin Rui playfully bantering with each other, Mordo, who stood nearby, felt somewhat helpless. Jack’s talent was indeed outstanding, and being chosen as one of the five young sorcerer stars was commendable.

However, within the five stars, Jack was considered average, as there were others with superior talents. One example was Stephen Strange, who had an arrogant temperament and slightly disabled hands.

Yes, the missing Stephen Strange had indeed found his way to the sorcerer and, through his perseverance, encountered the Ancient One.

He successfully remained in the Himalayas to study magic. Although Stephen’s initial purpose was to use magic to heal his hands, he had perhaps undergone some other changes by now.

In this selection process, Stephen Strange, like Jack, had emerged as one of the five young sorcerer stars. Moreover, his talent was regarded as the highest among the five stars by Mordo and other seasoned sorcerers.

Of course, his temperament was also the most disliked by them. Although he had made considerable improvements, he still occasionally said things that irritated people.
