Wang had never seen anyone learn magic so quickly.
If you were to say he was envious, there was indeed a little, but not too much.
Because Superman himself was already a symbol of power, and now exhibiting some innate advantages in magic felt surprisingly normal.
Thinking this, Wang continued to read the book he had halfway through.
The Kamar-Taj had a vast collection of books, and Wang would browse through those that interested him in his spare time managing the library.
When reading less important books, Wang liked to wear headphones and listen to his favorite music while reading.
Today, he hadn't put on his headphones, and after only a few minutes of flipping through the book, his brow furrowed.
Because he wasn't wearing headphones, the rustling sound of turning pages had been reaching his ears since a while ago, disturbing his reading.
Wang frowned and looked in the direction of the sound, and immediately couldn't sit still.
His eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Good heavens!"
It was Lin Feng. He was sitting cross-legged in a corner, and with some magic he must have used, books automatically flew to him, flipped through pages at lightning speed, and then moved on to the next book…
Wang was astonished. Was this how one read books?
What kind of cramming was this, averaging one book every five seconds?
He had thought Lin Feng would choose a few books, register them, and take them to read slowly.
But judging by the current pace, was he planning to camp out in the library and finish all the books he needed before leaving?
Ignoring Wang's actions, Lin Feng was currently in a peculiar state, with absolutely no time to pay attention to him.
The flying books were controlled by magic. Lin Feng had originally intended to use telekinesis, but recalling what the Ancient One had said about using magic more often, he abandoned telekinesis.
Magic controlled the books as they rapidly flipped pages, and the knowledge contained within the text poured into Lin Feng's brain through his eyes.
To improve his soul's strength, the lazy Superman was going all out, deliberately using his Superman brain, which he had barely used.
This knowledge was quickly replicated, formed, understood, and finally transformed into knowledge he could utilize…
Wang watched Lin Feng's "amazing" operation with amusement for a while, then turned away, no longer observing.
After all, everyone knew magic. He was just surprised at how fast Lin Feng could read.
Could it be that the Sorcerer had taught Lin Feng some magic for rapid memorization?
Such magic wasn't unheard of, but the Ancient One had once cautioned Wang against seeking shortcuts on the path of magic.
Well… alright, Superman was different from ordinary people. He shouldn't advise against taking shortcuts…
Taking out his headphones and blocking out the rustling sound of pages, Wang happily continued his reading.
On Lin Feng's side, the pages kept rustling from noon until evening before he stopped.
In a few hours, he had absorbed a vast amount of knowledge.
He needed to digest and experiment with what he had learned, so he didn't continue reading.
Lin Feng's assumption was correct; the library did have some books on the soul, but not many, and none that explained how to enhance soul strength.
Lin Feng didn't know why, but the moment he thought of what the soul-form Ancient One had said, and that wall, he felt an urge to immediately improve his soul's strength.
Perhaps it was caused by the unease after realizing his weakness.
Thus, foregoing rest, Lin Feng spent his days reading and his nights experimenting.
For safe casting, Lin Feng would always go to the Mirror Dimension to practice.
He discovered that magic indeed had its unique aspects. It could be considered a form of energy manipulation, and when fully unleashed, its destructive power was no less than Lin Feng's heat vision.
Of course, this was only because Lin Feng had so much energy to expend. Even the Ancient One couldn't conjure magic comparable to a Silver Age Superman's heat vision in terms of destructive power.
He didn't know about other universes, but here, magic was also a form of energy, so one could imagine the destructive power of the magic Lin Feng could unleash.
A few days later, Lin Feng had gone through the entire Kamar-Taj library, his mind filled with all sorts of knowledge about magic and miscellaneous spells.
But this did not satisfy Lin Feng.
After finishing the last page of the last book, Lin Feng walked out of the library dejectedly.
Wang, watching from behind, was puzzled. Why wasn't he happy even after flipping through all the books?
Lin Feng listlessly headed towards the Ancient One's hut.
He had learned magic, finished reading the books, and the Ancient One had previously said he was ready to graduate, so it felt like it was time to leave.
He probably had the fastest graduation rate in Kamar-Taj history…
Entering the hut, Lin Feng sat down at the table.
He didn't know how much the Ancient One enjoyed drinking tea. Whenever she was sitting, there was always a tea set and water in front of her.
"What's wrong, didn't you get what you wanted?" the Ancient One, seeing Lin Feng's dejection, asked with a smile.
"Yeah!" Lin Feng yawned and replied helplessly.
"Being too impatient won't do, Lin Feng," the Ancient One continued with a smile.
"You've finished reading the books. From now on, just by using more magic, you'll find your own way to enhance your soul's strength."
"Magic also requires synthesis and understanding. The knowledge is in your mind; use it more, and perhaps you'll make new discoveries!"
No matter how powerful Lin Feng was, he was still young. The Ancient One, as someone who had been through it all, shared some of her own experiences with Lin Feng.
Lin Feng shrugged and exhaled.
"Alright, Sorcerer, you always have some logic to your words…"
It was just that he hadn't found a solution yet. Dwelling on it wouldn't help, and Lin Feng was simply troubled by his current inability to find a way.
"It's time for you to leave, Lin Feng," the Ancient One said, hinting at something, unconcerned by Lin Feng's slightly teasing words.
She hadn't restricted Lin Feng from reading any books, including some obscure texts on dark magic, which she had enchanted so they wouldn't be visible to others.
However, this enchantment couldn't fool the current Lin Feng. But upon discovering Lin Feng reading forbidden books, the Ancient One hadn't intervened.
Now that he had learned all he could, the Ancient One felt she had nothing more to teach him. The rest was up to Lin Feng's own practice and contemplation.
"Yes, I came today to bid you farewell, Sorcerer," Lin Feng replied.
There was nothing more to gain by staying here, and Lin Feng needed to seek other methods.
"Let me repeat one last thing, Lin Feng."
"Be patient, think more, use more…"
"Lastly, don't use dark magic excessively…" The Ancient One gave Lin Feng a meaningful look, then averted her gaze.
This posture indicated she was seeing him out.
