Shared talent: traveling through the heavens and worlds at the same time

Chapter 203 Isaac Tubber

Facing the warm hospitality of the old Taoist priest, the foreign elder was also very polite:

"Haha, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so long, the old master still looks so good."

The old Taoist laughed heartily, and it was obvious that he was indeed very happy about the old man's arrival.

Perhaps seeing the puzzled looks of Mr. Lu Jin and Mr. Tian Jinzhong next to him, the old Taoist priest patted the foreign elder on the shoulder and introduced him to everyone:

"Haha, Lao Lu, Lao Tian, ​​come here, let me introduce you. This is Isaac Tubb, the president of the Flamel Academy in the UK. He is a good friend I had the honor of meeting when I visited the UK a few years ago."

When Mr. Tian Jinzhong heard this, he seemed to remember something and said:
"Oh, I was wondering why you insisted on learning English after you came back. So this is what happened."

The old Taoist priest laughed and said playfully:
"Haha, of course, Taber is a very powerful guy~"

Lin Bei, who just remembered the old man's name after hearing the old Taoist priest's introduction, heard a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat in the old Taoist priest's words, and became more and more interested in Dean Isaac Taber.

To be able to receive the old Taoist priest's evaluation of "very powerful" and even make the old Taoist priest learn English specially for him, the ability of Dean Taber must be at least on par with the old Taoist priest, right?
I'm afraid this person is the "old master" of the Western supernatural world.

Lin Bei suddenly became curious about the purpose of Dean Taber's visit.

The old Taoist priest naturally didn't know what Lin Bei was thinking. He smiled and called out to the door:

"Xiao Yuzi, come and serve tea to the guests!"

Xiao Yuzi outside the door heard the old Taoist's shouting, and hurriedly walked in with a pot of tea and a few teacups. However, he didn't know if he was really anxious or what, but he actually tripped when he entered the door.

The teapot in his hand fell out immediately.

Lin Bei, who was standing closest to the door, reacted the first time. He raised his arm slightly, and a golden light spread out from under Lin Bei's feet. It instantly turned into a small table and steadily caught the tea tray.

On the other side, "Professor Snape" who was standing next to Dean Taber was about to take action, but found that he seemed to be useless.

But the other party was not embarrassed. He gently waved the magic wand in his hand, and an invisible force lifted the teacups on the tea tray and distributed a cup of tea to everyone in the room.

Mr. Lu Jin looked at the teacup floating in his hand without any Qi fluctuations, and laughed:
"Oh haha, is this your Western magic? It's amazing, I can't feel the fluctuation of Qi at all. This is the first time I see you Western strange people."

Snape seemed to be completely unimpressed by Mr. Lu Jin's compliments, and spoke in Chinese with a foreign accent:

"Please don't call us aliens. This term doesn't accurately describe us."

For Snape's disrespectful behavior, the experienced Mr. Lu Jin didn't know how to respond for a moment. Fortunately, Isaac Taber at the side smiled and said to the rescue:

"Haha, it's just a little trick. That kid has the fastest reaction speed. Apart from the old Heavenly Master, this is the first time I've seen such a powerful Golden Light Curse.

By the way, let me introduce you to everyone. This is Victor Leslie, the instructor at Victor College, who was once my best student. "

I have to say that although Dean Isaac Taber, like mentor Victor, speaks Chinese with a British accent, his Chinese level is definitely very good.

He knew all kinds of Chinese words at will, and his speech was quite Chinese. He praised Lin Bei while explaining and introducing him, which immediately brought back the awkward and stiff atmosphere.

However, after hearing Dean Taber's introduction, the old Taoist priest suddenly said:
"Teacher? Dean, can I have a word with you?"

Thinking of the Luotian Grand Ceremony competition currently being held on Mount Longhu, the old Taoist priest seemed to have thought of something, and pulled Dean Taber aside and asked in a low voice:
"Hey, you're not here to mess up my business, are you?"

Dean Taber was stunned when he heard the old Taoist priest's words, but soon realized that the old Taoist priest had misunderstood him, and quickly explained with a smile:

"Ruin the place? Oh, Nono, you think too much. I came out this time just to take a stroll.

When I got to the foot of the mountain, I heard that you were holding a grand event, so I came up to take a look. Unfortunately, I arrived a little late. "

When the old Taoist heard that Taber was not bringing mentor Victor to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"It's not too late. Tomorrow, one of my two outstanding disciples will be qualified to inherit my position as Heavenly Master. Dean Taber, you can stay and watch."

Upon hearing this, Dean Isaac glanced at Lin Bei standing next to him and asked:

"Oh, is that the guy who just made the move? I can see that he is very powerful."

The old Taoist priest said with a smile:
"Oh, no, although he is my most outstanding junior, he doesn't like to be a celestial master, just like your mentor Victor, he did not stay in Flamel College to inherit your position as dean."

Dean Isaac nodded.
"I see. Okay, I will stay tomorrow to see what your other outstanding disciple is like."

After saying this, Dean Isaac suddenly changed the subject and said:

"Old Heavenly Master, actually I came to you this time because I have an idea I want to discuss with you."

The old Taoist priest asked curiously:
"Oh? What do you think?"

Dean Isaac seemed to be afraid that his next words would be heard by others, so he leaned close to the old Taoist's ear and whispered in a low voice again:
"Ah, here's the thing. Things haven't been going well over there lately. That organization has been quite active and has caused quite a stir over there. Stephen White has shown up again.

In addition, the overall environment has not been very good in recent years, and fewer and fewer talents have been trained, which makes me a little worried.

So, I would like to ask you, old master, to come over to our place and give us a hand, or send a few outstanding disciples over there."

Although Dean Isaac lowered his voice deliberately and no one present could hear what he said, this obviously did not include Lin Bei.

With Lin Bei's hearing, unless Dean Isaac and the old Taoist priest deliberately used some means to cover it up, or used some secret means like transmitting sound, no matter how quietly they spoke, it would not be possible for Lin Bei to hear it in this small room.

Therefore, Lin Bei heard all the conversations between Dean Isaac and the old Taoist priest, and at the same time, he couldn't help but become curious. Lin Bei really had no impression of the organization that Dean Isaac mentioned, and the name Stephen White, but since it could give this old man of the same status as the old Taoist priest a headache, it must be that both the organization and Stephen White were not simple.

Since the original novel of Under One Person mainly talks about domestic affairs, there are relatively few descriptions about foreign extraordinary forces and magical methods, and if they are mentioned, it is only in the later chapters. This leads to Lin Bei knowing far less about the situation abroad than at home.

Compared with the development in China whose results can be predicted, Lin Bei is naturally more interested in the unknown people, things and events abroad.

"Perhaps, I can find an opportunity to go abroad later? Since I have come to this world, I must see what this world really looks like. I can't just sit in a well and watch the world from afar."

At this time, Lin Bei had some different thoughts in his mind.

After listening to Dean Isaac's request, the old Taoist priest said with some embarrassment:
"Oh, I see. Well, the situation here may not be any better. Dean, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."

Dean Isaac seemed to have expected this, but he sighed with some regret:
"Hey, it seems that we are all facing the same problem."

The old Taoist priest said comfortingly:

"Well, forget it. Let's talk about the other things later. Since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. Just stay for one night and watch tomorrow's ceremony before leaving."

Hearing what the old Taoist priest said, Dean Isaac was also very relaxed and immediately said with a smile:

"Okay, then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Hearing the Chinese proverb spoken by Dean Isaac in an English accent, the old Taoist priest laughed heartily again.

At this time, Lin Bei on the side suddenly asked curiously:
"Uncle Master, I think the magic used by Teacher Victor just now seems to be from a foreign country. This is the first time I have seen magic. Can I learn from Teacher Victor and expand my horizons?"

After hearing Lin Bei's words, the old Taoist priest hadn't said anything yet, when Mr. Lu Jin beside him suddenly laughed and said:
"Yeah, that's right, Old Zhang. There won't be much to watch in the competition between Xiaobei and Chu Lan tomorrow. Why don't we take this opportunity to let Xiaobei compete with this mentor Victor, and let us see the skills of our foreign friends, hahaha."

The old Taoist priest looked at Dean Isaac with some embarrassment, and said with a questioning look in his eyes:
"Um, Dean, look at this."

Dean Isaac was indeed able to chat with the old Taoist priest. Although he was an old man, he was a naughty old man. He looked at Victor with a smile and asked:
"Hehe, Victor, this..."

At this point, Dean Isaac realized that he didn't know Lin Bei's name yet, so he turned his gaze to Lin Bei, and Lin Bei introduced himself at the right time:

"Hey, my name is Lin Bei, Dean Isaac can call me Xiao Bei."

Dean Isaac then continued:
"This kid Lin Bei wants to challenge you, Teacher Victor, do you think it's okay?"

Victor glanced at Lin Bei, but he didn't look down on him at all. He just shook his head and said:
"He is too young."

Lin Bei shook his head slightly at this time, and retorted with a smile:
"Heh, Mr. Victor, there is an old saying in our country, which is called heroes emerge from youth, which roughly means that great people often emerge from youth.

Being young doesn’t necessarily mean being incompetent.”

Hearing Lin Bei say this, Victor looked at Lin Bei deeply, then looked at Dean Isaac and said:

"In that case, I have no objection."

Seeing that Victor himself agreed, the old Taoist smiled and said:
"Haha, since you want to compete, let's go outside in the yard. Don't do it in the house. Or you'll tear my house down and it'll be very expensive to rebuild it."

Naturally, Lin Bei would not refute the old Taoist's words. After making a gesture of invitation to Victor, he walked out of the house first.

Victor followed closely behind without any fear.

The old Taoist priest personally pushed Tian Jinzhong's wheelchair out. Lu Jin, who was eager to watch the fun, followed Dean Isaac with great interest and walked out first.

At this time, in the small courtyard outside the house, Lin Bei and Victor Leslie stood opposite each other, ready for battle.

Lin Bei politely extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation:
"Teacher Victor, you are the guest, so you should make the first move."

Victor Leslie did not look angry when he heard this. He just turned to look at Dean Isaac and the old Taoist priest. Seeing that neither of them said anything to stop him, he took the initiative without any hesitation.

It can be seen that this mentor Victor is the type of person who is ruthless and doesn't talk much.

There was no special movement from Teacher Victor. He just waved the black magic wand in his hand lightly, and a blazing flame shot out from the front end of the magic wand, rushing towards Lin Bei!

Before he got close, the heat wave brought by the blazing flames had already hit Lin Bei's face. Just from this point, one could tell that the temperature of the flames was definitely not low!
Lin Bei did not take Dean Victor's first round of attacks lightly, but he did not dodge directly either. Instead, he used all his strength to activate the Golden Light Spell and condensed a thick defense in front of him.

Although with the speed of the flame, Lin Bei could easily dodge it if he wanted to, the reason why Lin Bei took the initiative to compete with this mentor Victor was, on the one hand, he was curious about the so-called magic in this world, and on the other hand, he wanted to see the strength of the foreign aliens.

Therefore, when fighting, he naturally wants to experience the power of the opponent's methods as much as possible, and the early stage of mutual testing is the best opportunity.

Sure enough, the temperature of the flame was very high and its power was not small, but its actual power was only about three times that of the flame of the Little Fire God Hong Bin.

He is indeed not weak among young people, but compared with the identity of Victor's mentor, he is obviously not matched and is still let down.

After feeling the power of the flame for a while, Lin Bei suddenly asked curiously:
"Teacher Victor, is this how you cast all your magic? When I watch TV and movies, don't you have to recite a long spell to cast magic?"

Victor was obviously surprised that Lin Bei could take his magic without dodging or evading and remain unharmed. The surprise on his face was beyond words.

After hearing Lin Bei's question, he paused and replied expressionlessly:

“Beginners do need the assistance of spells. Once they reach a certain level, they can cast spells without spells, or even without a wand.”
