A new turn

In this tense moment, the entire ruins seemed enveloped by an invisible pressure, the air seemed frozen. Carl and Victor glared at each other like two ferocious bulls, their wands poised for action. Their teammates and subordinates also stood in formation, waiting for the command to unleash another bloody storm of magic.

However, at this critical moment, the ancient book suddenly blazed with a brilliant light. Like a rising sun, it instantly illuminated every corner of the ruins, blinding everyone. Within the radiance, a mysterious figure slowly emerged. Its form was dreamlike, as if composed of countless fragments of light and shadow, emitting an ancient and mysterious aura.

"Stop! You stupid guys." The phantom's voice was like a huge bell, echoing in everyone's mind, with an unquestionable majesty.

Everyone was shocked by the voice. They stopped what they were doing and looked at the mysterious phantom in astonishment.

"How can you use the power of an ancient tome to satisfy your selfish desires and stir up conflict?" The phantom glanced at the crowd, a hint of disappointment and anger in his eyes. "It has a more important mission. Only those who are truly qualified can touch it and use it."

Victor's brow furrowed, a flicker of panic in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by greed and resentment. "What qualifications? I'm the most qualified to possess the ancient tome. I possess powerful magical powers, and I can maximize its value." He roared at the phantom, his voice trembling, clearly wary of it.

"Hmph, powerful magic? That's just power blinded by ambition, a dark abyss." Phantom responded with disdain, "True qualifications come from the pursuit of justice and the protection of the world deep in the soul, not greed for power."

At this moment, the ancient book, as if summoned by some kind of force, slowly rose from the center of the magic circle, circled in the air, and then flew towards Carl. Its posture was like a bird returning to its nest, light and determined.

"Look, Gu Ji chose Carl!" Lucy shouted excitedly, tears of excitement flashing in her eyes, "I knew Carl was the best."

"Haha, Carl, you are so cool! You are like a magic prince chosen by ancient books." Tom grinned and gave Carl a thumbs up.

Carl stretched out his hands and caught the flying ancient book. He could feel the warm power coming from the ancient book. That power seemed to flow into the depths of his soul, filling him with strength and a sense of mission.

The phantom looked at Carl and nodded slightly. "Carl, you have within you the power to pursue justice and breakthroughs. You are recognized by the ancient book. I hope you can make good use of the ancient book and fulfill its mission."

Carl hugged the ancient book tightly, his eyes gleaming with determination as he bowed deeply to the phantom. "I will. I will not let the ancient book down."

Victor's face turned livid at this scene, his body trembling with rage. "No! This is impossible! The tome should be mine!" He roared, ignoring the phantom's warning and raising his wand again, ready to charge at Carl.

Just as he was about to act, the ancient book suddenly unleashed a powerful force, like a surging wave, sweeping towards Victor. Victor was struck by this force, flying backwards and falling heavily to the ground. His men, seeing this, tried to help, but were also suppressed by the force and unable to move.

"Victor, if you continue to be stubborn, the power of the ancient book will completely destroy you." The phantom said majestically, its voice echoing in the ruins like a bell of judgment.

Victor rose from the ground, his eyes filled with anger and resentment. However, under the threat of the ancient book's power, he knew he couldn't succeed. "Hmph, Carl, don't be too happy. I'll settle this score with you sooner or later," he said through gritted teeth. Then, with a wave of his hand, he led his men in a panicked retreat.

"Finally they're gone. These guys are really haunting us." Jerry breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"Yeah, but we can't let our guard down. We have to get out of here quickly," Carl said. He looked at his teammates with gratitude in his eyes. "This is all thanks to everyone. Let's go."

So, Carl and his teammates carefully left the ruins, carrying the ancient book. Along the way, everyone was immersed in the joy of victory and the anticipation for the future.

"Carl, what secrets do you think are hidden in these ancient books?" Tom asked curiously, his eyes fixed on the ancient book in Carl's hand, like a child who has seen a new toy.

"I'm not sure, but we can study it carefully when we get back to the academy," Carl replied with a smile, his mood also particularly relaxed. "But, we really went through a thrilling adventure this time."

"Yes, it feels like we are in a magical blockbuster movie and we are the protagonists." Jerry said excitedly. He imitated the fighting moves with his hands and feet, making everyone laugh.

Amidst laughter and joy, they carried the ancient book and headed towards the academy, ready to embrace new challenges and explorations. The ancient book, like a mysterious treasure, awaited them as they uncovered its deeper secrets and brought new hope to the world.
