Chapter 1048: Stephen Strange

In this way, Lin Rui settled in the Himalayas, the secluded place where sorcerers practiced. As for the room arranged for Lin Rui by Mordo, since Lin Rui and Jack knew each other, they were placed together.

This way, if Lin Rui needed any help, he could rely on Jack. After all, although Jack hadn’t been there for long, he was clearly more familiar with the place than Lin Rui.

On the second day of settling in the Himalayas, Lin Rui met the future Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange. Lin Rui had already gathered information about Stephen Strange through Jerry’s investigation, so he had some understanding of him.

In general, the Stephen Strange of this world had a similar personality to the one Lin Rui was familiar with.

Therefore, when Lin Rui met Stephen Strange, he wasn’t surprised by his arrogant attitude. Although Stephen Strange had changed a lot through his studies in magic, his lifelong arrogance couldn’t be completely erased in such a short time.

“A little kid like you is a sorcerer too?” This was how Stephen Strange described Lin Rui the first time they met— a little kid.

Swish!

Although Lin Rui knew Stephen Strange’s character was like this, he wouldn’t let him underestimate him. So when Stephen Strange finished speaking, Lin Rui immediately unleashed a sword energy attack toward him without any hesitation.

As Azura’s sword energy was about to strike Stephen Strange’s chest, he appeared visibly surprised but reacted quickly. Just as the sword energy was about to hit his chest, a golden magical shield appeared, protecting him.

Bang!

With a light sound, the golden magical shield in front of Stephen Strange shattered instantly. After breaking the shield, the Azura sword energy dissipated in front of Stephen Strange, along with its Azura radiance and the golden radiance.

“Hmm? What kind of energy is this?!” Stephen Strange, who had taken several steps back due to the impact of Azura’s sword energy on his chest, stared closely at the dissipating Azura radiance in front of him, expressing his astonishment.

“I may not be a sorcerer, but… are you sure you can defeat me with your mediocre sorcerer skills?” Lin Rui responded calmly, not caring about Stephen Strange’s surprise and doubt.

When it came to magical talent, Stephen Strange surpassed Lin Rui by an immeasurable margin. After all, Lin Rui’s magical talent was practically nonexistent, as confirmed by the system’s testing, which couldn’t be wrong.

However, Lin Rui had chosen the path of training his internal energy. Although it was much more difficult than relying on innate talent for magic, he had already achieved significant progress through his own efforts.

If Stephen Strange were to grow rapidly and become the Sorcerer Supreme after the Dormammu invasion of Earth, Lin Rui might indeed be unable to defeat him. But for now, Stephen Strange was just at the same level as Jack, an average sorcerer. Lin Rui still had confidence in overpowering him.

“What’s attacking me from behind considered?” Stephen Strange, who had just retreated a few steps, stepped forward again, unwilling to back down.

Whoosh!

Hearing Stephen Strange’s words, a surge of Azura radiance erupted from Lin Rui’s body, accompanied by a powerful aura pressing forward. Lin Rui’s smile indicated that he intended to use his absolute strength to make this arrogant individual reconsider.

If Stephen Strange persisted with this attitude, it was not impossible for him to fail to grow during the Dormammu invasion.

“This…!” Feeling the immense pressure bearing down on him, Stephen Strange involuntarily took two steps back, his face filled with a shocked expression.

This time, not only did Lin Rui release a large amount of internal energy, but he also utilized some domain power. Compared to using internal energy for attacks, the suppression effect of his domain was the most effective.

At the moment when Lin Rui unleashed his overwhelming aura to suppress Stephen Strange, not only Lin Rui’s target was astonished, but also Jack standing beside him and the nearby sorcerers, including Mordo, were all extremely surprised. Clearly, the effect of Lin Rui’s internal energy domain was unexpected.

Hoo~

After achieving the desired effect, Lin Rui quickly retracted the aura created by his internal energy domain. This was his first meeting with the future Doctor Strange, and although Lin Rui had acted because of Stephen Strange’s disrespectful words, he had no intention of truly confronting him.

Moreover, if Stephen Strange did become Doctor Strange, he would inherit the responsibility of protecting Earth from the Ancient One’s hands, and Lin Rui would definitely have to cooperate with him at that time.

“Haha, Jackson, I believe what you said yesterday now. I’m definitely not your match at the moment, but I will strive to improve,” Jack was the first to react after being astonished, patting Lin Rui on the shoulder and smiling.

“Then you better take it seriously. I won’t stand still,” Lin Rui replied with a smile to Jack’s words.

As for Mordo, although he was also surprised by the strength Lin Rui had just displayed, he didn’t say anything and only blinked a few times. As an excellent disciple of the Ancient One, Mordo’s own strength was also very powerful.

However, he had not participated in the selection of the new generation of Sorcerer Supremes, perhaps due to some special reasons.

“Alright, I take back what I said about you being a little kid. Although you’re not a sorcerer, you indeed possess formidable power,” Stephen Strange finally retracted his dismissive gaze and spoke seriously as Jack and Lin Rui finished their conversation.

Ever since the devastating car accident, Stephen Strange’s once proud and arrogant life had been struck down. His skilled hands were crippled, his search for a method to recover with the Recovery Serum was in vain, and finally, he came to the Himalayas with a glimmer of hope to find a solution.

Unexpectedly, he had inadvertently become a sorcerer and was now participating in some kind of selection for the Sorcerer Supreme. The ever-changing nature of life was nothing more than a reality for Stephen Strange.

Of course, at this stage, Stephen Strange still wanted to learn magic and find a way to recover his hands. After all, he couldn’t let go of his identity in the flashy world he had once inhabited. After all, sorcerers were meant to lead reclusive lives, and Stephen Strange was not yet that kind of person.

“Well, I accept your apology,” Lin Rui nodded in response to Stephen Strange’s words. Although Stephen Strange didn’t directly apologize, Lin Rui didn’t mind anymore.
