Did He Just Get the Time Stone?!

Luo Bai knew very well that when there was a vast gap in strength, defeating an opponent was difficult, but that did not mean it was impossible.

Although Kamar-Taj's mages loved using close-combat magic...

Come on, he was already a mage. Why was he still fighting in close quarters?!

Magic should look like magic. With that thought, Luo Bai stopped attacking.

Seeing him suddenly stop, Mordo asked curiously, "Why did you stop?! Don't tell me you've only mastered this one spell?!"

Luo Bai shook his head. "Of course not."

After saying that, he cast another spell. Only then did Mordo realize that he was using Retrieval Magic.

Retrieval Magic contained some fundamental principles of spatial magic. It was similar to a portal, but slightly different.

Mordo did not stop him.

After all, in Mordo's eyes, even if Luo Bai retrieved something, it would still be difficult for him to defeat him.

Besides, this sparring match was meant to see whether Luo Bai had truly mastered all the basic spells, and Retrieval Magic was one of them.

At that moment, Mordo was even more curious about how far Luo Bai could take Retrieval Magic.

"Retrieval Magic?! For a mage, a good magical artifact can help win a battle. That's a very smart approach. But with your current abilities, there are many artifacts you simply can't wield," Mordo said with a smile.

That was not mockery. It was the truth.

There were indeed many treasures in the Marvel Universe.

Some powerful treasures could even instantly raise a person's strength.

But the more powerful a treasure was, the greater the ability usually required to wield it.

Leaving aside whether the artifact Luo Bai retrieved would truly be powerful, whether he could wield it was the key issue.

Luo Bai naturally understood that as well.

So even he had no idea what he would retrieve. It was entirely up to fate.

If he wanted to defeat Mordo, he could only rely on a divine artifact.

He had actually learned a little about divine artifacts in the Marvel Universe.

For example, the Infinity Stones were incredibly powerful divine artifacts.

But wielding the power of the Infinity Stones was extremely difficult.

Even Thanos had struggled greatly when using the Power Stone back then, let alone Luo Bai's small frame. Even if he brought one over, he probably would not be able to use it.

There was no need to risk his life over a small sparring match. Having realized that, he temporarily gave up on retrieving an Infinity Stone.

Retrieval Magic required one to imagine the location of the divine artifact in one's mind, allowing a spatial gate to open and accurately retrieve the desired treasure.

But there had not been enough time. Luo Bai could not think of any divine artifact besides the Infinity Stones that could turn the tide, so he could only leave it to the goddess of luck.

As the magic unfolded, Luo Bai reached his hand into the spatial gate.

At that moment, Mordo had yet to realize that what came next would exceed his expectations.

"Actually, Kamar-Taj has quite a few excellent magical artifacts. I can... holy shit...??!"

Mordo had originally wanted to say that there were many magical artifacts in Kamar-Taj's artifact chamber.

If Luo Bai truly needed one, there was no need to go through so much trouble. He could take a few out for Luo Bai to use temporarily.

But in the next second, a hammer appeared in Luo Bai's hand. Was that... Mjolnir?!

In an instant, Mordo was dumbfounded.

The usually rigorous man could not stop himself from swearing.

It was not that he was overreacting. He was simply too speechless.

Mjolnir was the weapon of Odin's son, Thor!

How had Luo Bai brought it here?!

"How did you bring Mjolnir here?!!" Mordo cried out, his square face instantly turning pale and drawn.

Kamar-Taj monitored all movements on Earth, and the library held countless books recording knowledge of Earth and even the multiverse.

There was no way Mordo did not know what Mjolnir was.

It was a hammer forged from a star and imbued with the power of Odin, the All-Father!!

How was he supposed to fight if Luo Bai pulled out something like that?!

How was that any different from asking him to fight Odin?!

Mordo froze.

Luo Bai froze as well.

He was somewhat startled, but even more delighted.

That was right. How had he forgotten about Mjolnir?!

This thing had Odin's enchantment. Anyone not recognized by Mjolnir could not lift it.

That meant that as long as one was recognized, lifting Mjolnir would be effortless.

Most importantly, this thing was pretty damn strong!

With Odin's power supporting it, dealing with a mere mage like Mordo would be easy!

Looking at Mjolnir in his hand, Luo Bai felt confident.

"We can continue," Luo Bai said with a smile.

"..."

Mordo fell silent, a silence that was deafening.

After a moment, Mordo complained, "This thing was made from a star. We're just sparring, there's no need to take this so seriously, right?!"

"I only wanted to prove that I've truly mastered the basic spells," Luo Bai said with a helpless shrug.

Mordo smiled awkwardly. "You have indeed mastered them very skillfully."

Oh, Vishanti.

Mjolnir was Thor's exclusive weapon!

Thor was in Asgard, which was not even in the same dimension as Earth!

Leaving aside how Luo Bai had retrieved Mjolnir, to get hold of it, he must have mastered cross-dimensional spatial magic!

That was not beginner magic at all. It was advanced spatial magic.

Many Kamar-Taj mages who had trained for four or five years might not succeed, yet this guy had only trained for such a short time and had already reached into Asgard?!

"How did you do it? You mastered cross-dimensional retrieval in such a short time?!" Mordo could not help asking.

He was not the only one surprised. Gu Yi was shocked as well.

The two of them had made such a huge commotion outside the main hall. Gu Yi was not deaf, so naturally she knew.

She had not shown herself because she wanted to see how well Luo Bai had mastered magic.

But she had not expected him to achieve this much in such a short time.

"So the future was not wrong. He really is the Sorcerer Supreme." Gu Yi's eyes widened, delight shining in her gaze.

It was unbelievable, but Gu Yi believed it.

The future had not been wrong. She had been the one who was wrong.

With that thought, Gu Yi walked out and interrupted their sparring match. "Luo Bai, come inside. Mordo, wait outside."

Gu Yi's sudden arrival caught both of them off guard.

Luo Bai was somewhat puzzled, but Mordo felt more relieved.

Thankfully, the Sorcerer Supreme had saved him and preserved his dignity.

Otherwise, if a master mage like him were defeated by a novice mage, how could he teach newcomers afterward if word got out?

Mordo immediately replied gratefully, "Yes, Sorcerer Supreme."

Then he obediently stood to one side and waited.

Luo Bai entered the sanctuary again, his expression somewhat confused.

"Does the Sorcerer Supreme need something?!" Luo Bai asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yi removed the magical artifact hanging around her neck and handed it to him. "This is the Eye of Agamotto. You must promise me that from now on, you will protect it with your life."

"???"

Luo Bai was utterly bewildered.

Wasn't this the Time Stone?!

Gu Yi was giving it to him?!
