American comics: A salted fish becomes a saint by hanging up

Doctor Strange showed an understanding smile. He patted Lin Nan on the shoulder and said softly, "This is a process, Lin Nan. Everyone has their own pace and rhythm. Don't rush for success. Give yourself some time and some tolerance. You will find that with the passage of time, this emotion will gradually dissipate, and your control over power will become more natural."

Lin Nan forced a smile, his heart still filled with mixed emotions. He knew Doctor Strange was right, but he still couldn't get rid of the deep feeling of powerlessness and jealousy. He needed time and needed to find his own rhythm, but this process was particularly difficult for him.

In the following days, Lin Nan was still immersed in his own practice, but the jealousy and uneasiness never went away. He began to be more sensitive to the people around him. Whenever he saw those apprentices showing their magic skills easily, he would feel a strong sense of inferiority. Although he tried his best not to let these emotions affect his practice, they were like an invisible obstacle, blocking his steps forward.

Once, during a meditation exercise, Lin Nan felt the power of nothingness in his body suddenly go out of control. The energy surged out like a flood, instantly swallowing up the space around him. The entire training ground was shrouded in an ominous atmosphere, and the other apprentices retreated in fear. The situation was out of control for a time.

"Stop!" Doctor Strange's voice sounded like thunder. He quickly cast magic to seal the void energy around Lin Nan in a barrier, preventing a greater disaster from happening.

Lin Nan felt dizzy, and realized that he had lost control of his power again. This failure made him feel ashamed, and he looked at the eyes of the apprentices around him, feeling ashamed. Their eyes were full of fear and confusion, as if they were questioning whether his existence was a mistake.

At that moment, Lin Nan's jealousy, anger and inferiority merged into a strong emotion. He felt as if he was abandoned by the whole world and was isolated and helpless. Although Doctor Strange controlled the situation in time, Lin Nan knew that this kind of out-of-control situation would happen again sooner or later until he truly mastered his own power.

However, this emotion planted a seed of shadow in Lin Nan's heart. He began to doubt his own abilities and question whether he really had the ability to control this illusory power. The jealousy of others' easy control of power seemed to be constantly gnawing at his self-confidence, putting him in an inescapable dilemma.

Lin Nan was no longer as active in his training as before. He became silent and stayed alone in his room, trying to sort out his thoughts. However, whenever he closed his eyes, the figures of those apprentices would appear in his mind. Their confidence and brilliance seemed to be silently mocking his incompetence.

Lin Nan barely slept that night. His thoughts kept churning, and his heart was filled with all kinds of complicated emotions. Jealousy, anger, and unwillingness, these negative emotions were like poison, slowly and painfully corroding his heart. Even though he tried his best to put these emotions behind him and focus on his cultivation goals, they were like lingering shadows, always lingering in his heart.

The next morning, Lin Nan walked into the training ground exhausted, and the world in front of him seemed to be covered with a layer of haze. He still began to meditate as usual, trying to calm his inner fluctuations. However, this meditation was different from the past. He closed his eyes and felt that the void energy in his body was more active than before, as if some force was driving it to expand continuously.

Suddenly, Lin Nan felt an unprecedented power surging from the depths of his heart. The power was full of violence and chaos, as if it was going to tear apart everything in him. He suddenly opened his eyes, and saw the surrounding scene begin to distort. The black energy of nothingness gushed out from his body, instantly shrouding the entire training ground in a suffocating atmosphere.

The other apprentices retreated in fear. They witnessed Lin Nan's sudden burst of power and felt deeply uneasy. Doctor Strange arrived quickly, with a flash of astonishment and worry in his eyes. He immediately cast a spell to try to seal off the energy around Lin Nan, but this time the power of nothingness was stronger than before, as if it had surpassed their previous cognition.

"Lin Nan, calm down!" Doctor Strange shouted, trying to awaken Lin Nan's sanity through words.

However, Lin Nan's consciousness was overwhelmed by the sudden surge of power. He felt as if his body was being torn apart by some unknown energy, and the anger and jealousy deep in his heart were infinitely magnified. Those negative emotions surged into his heart like a tide, almost making him lose himself.

"I don't want to be like this anymore!" Lin Nan's heart was roaring. He felt that he was controlled by this force, as if he was on the verge of collapse. At this moment, he suddenly realized that this force was not generated by himself, but came from the combination of the void energy in his body and some external force.

This awakening consciousness made him sober up instantly, and he tried to suppress the energy and regain control of his body. However, the power seemed to have its own will and did not obey his control at all, but continued to expand.

Doctor Strange looked at Lin Nan's condition and realized that the situation was more serious than he thought. He quickly set up a more complex magic circle to isolate Lin Nan from the outside world. Although he tried to control the situation, the power in Lin Nan's body had begun to affect the entire space, and even Doctor Strange felt a sense of irresistible oppression.

"This is not an ordinary power..." Doctor Strange muttered to himself, frowning. He realized that the power of nothingness in Lin Nan's body was not just out of control, but because a new energy combined with it, causing this unprecedented rampage.

Lin Nan struggled in the magic circle, and he felt as if his body was about to be torn apart by the force. He realized that this energy was not generated naturally, but was guided by some external force. He began to try to find the source of the guidance, but his consciousness gradually blurred in the constant impact. Lin Nan suddenly felt a cold breath gushing out of his body, as if some external force was prying into his heart. The force brought an ominous feeling, which made him feel extremely uneasy. He suddenly realized that this power did not come from himself, but some external existence was trying to use his nothingness energy.

"Someone... is using me?" Lin Nan asked himself in horror. He felt as if he had become a puppet, controlled by a more powerful will.
