A god-level prop master in the Marvel universe

Kamar-Taj uses white magic, which is mostly defensive and protective, so these spells don't look particularly cool.

Kamar-Taj occasionally conducts combat training.

But their combat training isn't about magical battles, it's about hand-to-hand combat... That's just absurd!

Of course, it can't be said that the Marvel universe lacks cool magic.

But those cool spells are either dark magic or even more powerful advanced magic.

Practicing dark magic is deadly.

While practicing advanced magic is incredibly dangerous, most ordinary mages, unless they are magical prodigies, would never master it even after a lifetime of study.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai looked at the Ancient One and tentatively asked, "Sorcerer Supreme, do you think I'm a magical genius?"

Gu Yi didn't answer directly, only saying, "Having talent may be a good thing, but hard work is more important."

Luo Bai understood immediately.

Magical geniuses are a once-in-a-century phenomenon, and the Ancient One has only seen one in the past hundred years—Strange.

Luo Bai's talent was clearly not as high as Strange's, so he could not be called a magical genius.

Luo Bai was aware of this, which was why he had never considered learning magic before.

He sought out the Ancient One to learn how to improve his mental strength only because acquiring all the items would take time, and before that, Luo Bai needed to ensure he had some means of escape.

That way, we won't be caught off guard in case of an emergency.

"I just want to improve my mental strength. Actually, I'm a prop master, and my props should be able to solve most problems," Luo Bai said truthfully.

The Ancient One seemed to see through his thoughts and immediately said, "Learning magic and possessing tools are not mutually exclusive. Magic can give you a deeper understanding of the entire universe and also help you better understand the world of spirit and will."

Luo Bai understood what he meant; it seemed that if he wanted to cultivate spiritual power, he had to learn magic first.

Learning it wouldn't be a problem, but...

"Karmar-Taj is a very free place. Nobody cares what you do. Even if you don't want to stay here, you can leave anytime with that door," the Ancient One suddenly said, just as I was about to ask.

Kamar-Taj teaches by example; you seek out whatever you want from magic.

If you want to gain power, practice magic diligently.

If you simply want to understand the meaning and mysteries of the world through magic, then focus on meditation and contemplation.

Different paths lead to different training directions, so no one will force you to do anything.

Luo Bai felt much more at ease after hearing this, and immediately said, "I can give it a try."

Gu Yi didn't say anything more, but simply summoned Mordo.

She explained the specifics to Mordo, basically saying that Mordo would train Luo Bai together in the future.

However, Gu Yi did not say that Luo Bai was a disciple of Kamar-Taj, but only that Luo Bai was a guest who came to Kamar-Taj to exchange and learn magic.

This was probably to prevent Mordo from being as strict as he was with other mage apprentices.

Mordo understood the meaning and, after listening to what the Ancient One had to say, left the main hall with Luo Bai.

As soon as the two stepped out the door, Mordo eagerly asked, "Can you tell me what's going on with that door? What's it made of? Is it a magical artifact? Why can it teleport ordinary people?"

It was clear that Mordo was quite interested in the Anywhere Door, as he asked several questions in a row.

Seeing his curiosity, Luo Bai explained briefly: "It's not a magical artifact, it's technology."

Modu was stunned, and asked incredulously, "Has Earth's technology advanced to this level? Have I been out exploring for too long?"

Luo Bai smiled and asked, "So, Master Modu, what are we going to do now?"

Only then did Mordo remember he needed to get down to business. Composing himself, he said, "It's too late today; training is already over. Group training at Kamar-Taj usually runs from 8 AM to 10 AM. Occasionally, there's extra training in the evening, usually from 7 PM to 10 PM. If you want to train, you can come with the mages tomorrow morning. Oh, by the way, are you planning to stay here long-term?"

"No!" Luo Bai refused decisively.

How could a room in Kamar-Taj possibly be as good as the villa Tony gave him?

Thinking of this, Luo Bai quickly said, "I have a place to stay in New York, I'll come over tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he took out the Anywhere Door.

Mordo had been too busy guarding against Lobo because he thought an intruder had come to Kamar-Taj, and hadn't really paid attention to the Anywhere Door.

Seeing Luo Bai take out the Anywhere Door, Mo Du stepped forward and looked at it several times.

He even circled the portal once before muttering to himself, "I don't really see anything special about this portal... How can it teleport people around..."

Modu seemed puzzled, muttering to himself.

Seeing that he was thinking, Luo Bai didn't want to disturb him, so he went back to the villa first.

After returning to the villa, Luo Bai lay on the sofa, ready to scroll through his phone for a while.

As soon as Luo Bai took out his phone, he noticed an unknown call and a message. Upon opening them, he discovered that Potts had found him that day.

They said they found him a new cleaning service, and he can take a look when he has time.

Luo Bai thought for a moment and set the time for 7 pm the next night.

After replying to the text message and scrolling through his phone for a while, Luo Bai went to sleep.

At 8 a.m. the next day, Luo Bai arrived at Kamar-Taj as promised.

By this time, almost all the mages on the training ground had arrived, and even Mordo was standing there ready to begin teaching.

Upon seeing Luo Bai appear, Mo Du stepped forward to greet him: "You're right on time, exactly 8 o'clock."

"..."

As a recent college graduate, it's perfectly normal to do some scouting.

Suddenly it felt like being back in school; Luo Bai hadn't shaken off his habit of hitting the beat of the moment.

With an awkward laugh, Luo Bai said, "I hope I haven't taken up too much of your time."

Mordo shook his head and replied, "No, we're preparing for training. You can find a place you like to stand."

Luo Bai nodded and randomly found an empty spot to stand in.

As soon as he stood still, Mordo began his explanation: "We draw power from the multiverse and attempt to master it..."

Modu talked a lot, a whole lot.

In summary, if you want to learn magic, you must first try to absorb power from the multiverse.

Absorbing power is actually a euphemism, since most magic in the Marvel universe is "borrowed".

Ancient gods created magic, and the first step for humans to learn magic is to "borrow" their power.

Kamar-Taj's white magic originated in Vishanti.

Therefore, only those who are approved by the Vishanti are qualified to learn magic.

When you feel yourself drawing energy from the universe, it proves that you have gained the initial approval of Vishanti.

However, how much energy you can borrow from him depends on how talented you are.

The better one's talent, the faster one can learn magic, and the more energy one can "borrow".

of course.

Since it's about "borrowing" energy, there must be something about "returning" it.

However, what is "returned" is not power, but a corresponding price.

Borrowing white magic is fine; the cost is small.

However, "borrowing" dark magic comes at a high price; it's trading your soul for it.

But then again.

If your strength surpasses that of the original owner, then you don't need to consider the matter of "returning" it.

Just like the Ancient One.

They've borrowed so much power, but I haven't seen them repay it yet.

Therefore, Luo Bai is not worried about the cost of learning magic, since once he has enough items, he won't have to think about paying it back.
