Marvel Universe's Ultimate Martial Arts School

The spatial fluctuations came from a position about thirty meters above the ground, about twenty or thirty meters away from Lin Feng.

He stopped what he was doing and hovered in mid-air to observe.

Suddenly, a neat crack appeared out of thin air at that spot, and then the 'air' was pushed open like a door, and a short monk wearing a yellow robe walked out from inside.

This person did not appear to possess any particularly strong aura, yet his wise eyes held a quiet wisdom that seemed to see through everything.

She seemed to have known Lin Feng was there all along, showing no surprise whatsoever. She simply smiled and said to Lin Feng, "Hello, traveler from another world."

Chinese?

"Who are you?"

"My name is Gu Yi, and I come from Kamar-Taj." She turned to look at the empty 'New York', then at the ground suspended in mid-air, and said in surprise, "This portal was originally on the ground, but I didn't expect it to have moved to the sky. 72 nuclear bombs plus two nuclear power plants, the power is so great."

Although the opponent's body was weak and there were no traces of genetic energy cultivation on his body, he had a kind of inexplicable wariness that made Lin Feng feel wary.

This is an overwhelming force from the level or realm of life, and the opponent possesses a domain!

"Who exactly are you?" Lin Feng asked again.

This guy clearly doesn't match the description of Captain Marvel that I saw in the NSA's files.

But the feeling she gave me was even beyond the cosmic level!

"Ah!" The short girl, who was tilting her head to look around, suddenly turned around when she heard this. She looked a little quirky, and although her face, which was no longer young, didn't show any cuteness in her actions, the combination was so clever that it didn't seem out of place at all: "They all call me the Supreme Mage."

"Not many people know this name. If you want to know my origins..." she said with a smile, "then I can tell you that my purpose is similar to the slogan your Extreme Martial Arts Academy shouts: to protect the human race on Earth from invasion by foreign races."

"You seem to know everything, and aren't even surprised to see the devastation here after the nuclear explosion?"

"Of course, I can control time and see the future, so naturally I can also foresee the disaster in New York."

Lin Feng was taken aback, then said coldly, "But you didn't stop it. Does that count as protecting the Earth?"

"Yes," the Ancient One said with a smile. "I saw the nuclear explosion happen, but I didn't see the consequences."

"Is there a time limit to your ability to foresee the future?" Lin Feng asked. "For example, can you only see half an hour ahead?"

"No, I can see an endless future."

"But you said you didn't see the results of the nuclear explosion?"

"Because of you." Gu Yi pointed her finger at Lin Feng quite directly: "I can't see the outcome of anything you're involved in. This only means one possibility: you don't belong to this universe, or even to this multiverse! At least, not to those multiverses that I've already observed."

Lin Feng shut his mouth. The other person knew far more than he had imagined, so he chose to let her continue.

"New York would not have had a nuclear explosion."

"According to the timeline, Ivan VanCleef would have joined forces with Hammer Industries to wage a mechanical war, and then died at the hands of Tony Stark; while the other Abomination should have been defeated by Banner and eventually imprisoned in the dungeon by General Ross. The two of them should never have crossed paths. That is the correct timeline, which I foresaw a long time ago..."

"But your appearance made them both feel afraid, so they chose to go against the timeline, chose to join forces, and even chose to nuke New York, because in their calculations, this was the only way to defeat you."

"So," the Ancient One seemed to always be smiling, like a robot with a fixed expression, making it impossible to discern her true thoughts, "the truth is that you destroyed New York. It was your arrival that brought this disaster to New York."

"Then why didn't you kill me beforehand? Or stop them?" Lin Feng, having activated his mental power, slowly asked, "The Supreme Mage who protects Earth?"

Beneath his seemingly calm and collected expression, a faint halo of light began to shimmer around him.

Soul Defense!

The power of mental energy protected his soul immediately.

The opponent was indeed incredibly powerful, so powerful that it made him instinctively feel fear, but the opponent's physical body didn't seem to be that great.

This might be a powerful individual skilled in mental energy; his attacks could very well come directly from the soul!

If a fight were to be fought, it would only be possible to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent's physical body while protecting their soul.

Facing an opponent whose current realm and life level completely overwhelm him, he might not even be able to launch this one and only counterattack, but he still had to try!

"Oh, relax, my friend." Gu Yi showed no intention of attacking. She said with a smile, "From what I've observed, I don't think we necessarily have to be enemies."

"You did bring destruction to New York, but that's not a big deal."

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback.

"You have indeed interfered with my judgment of the future, and have made protecting the Earth start to slip out of my control, but..."

The expression on Gu Yi's face finally changed slightly, showing a hint of genuine pleasure.

"This is very strange. In my long life, I have observed the future of countless multiverses and countless Earths, but I have never seen anything like this before. Someone can actually influence my prediction of spacetime."

Gu Yi put her hands behind her back and said excitedly, "You might not understand what this means to me, but I can tell you very directly, it's incredibly interesting to me!"

"Imagine if every morning when you wake up you knew exactly what you would see, say, eat, do, and even the exact minute you would win or lose a game, what kind of life experience would you have left?"

"Like a program, forever executing the work that fate has assigned you, mechanically day after day, year after year."

"But the problem is, I'm not a program without emotions."

"I used to love peeking into the future, but over thousands of years, peeking into the future has long become a job and a habit for me, even a burden, and is no longer a pleasure."

"Even the strongest soul will tire under such pressure, and then it will become less and less like a human being."

Lin Feng noticed that she was getting more and more excited as she talked, and he could sense a hint of loneliness and desolation hidden beneath that excitement.

But to be honest, I can't empathize with it.

"So you chose to let them bomb New York flat rather than kill me?"

"No."

The Ancient One is definitely a master of emotional management. In just a moment, she returned to normal from her excited state and put on a professional smile.

I chose to observe you.

"I need to observe your character, your values, and your stance," the Ancient One said with a smile. "If I feel that you are not on the side of humanity for even a moment, I will kill you without hesitation. As for the bombing of New York, it is a trivial matter compared to this. Don't forget, I can control time."

Lin Feng wasn't surprised by her earlier words, but he was truly shocked by her last sentence.

Controlling time? What does that mean?

Could she possibly bring back the vanished New York to its pre-explosion state?

Lin Feng didn't rush to ask that question, but instead asked another one: "So, what are the results of your observations?"

"You possess rare integrity and kindness. Although you score a little lower in terms of hating evil, your overall principles are sound, which earns my approval," Ancient One said with a smile. "If you're willing, I can hand over the title of Sorcerer Supreme to you right now, and even impart everything I've learned to you!"
