Library of Kamar-Taj

Inside Kamar-Taj, Kathmandu.

Luo Bai, having obtained the Time Stone, was in a great mood, his face filled with uncontainable smiles.

Mordo, leading the way beside him, seemed to sense his joy and, after a moment of silence, couldn't help speaking up: "You seem to be in a good mood! It looks like the Sorcerer Supreme told you some good news."

Luo Bai nodded in reply, "Mm, there is good news."

Mordo didn't press further; after all, what was on his mind right then was still the previous "trial."

Even though that "trial" had been called off halfway through, he truly respected Luo Bai.

To be able to practice to such a state in just a few days was terrifying.

Seeing that he was still in a good mood, Mordo immediately explained: "I admit I had some doubts about you before. I just didn't expect your talent to be this good... This caught me somewhat by surprise, and I didn't mean anything against you."

Mordo took the initiative to make peace, which actually surprised Luo Bai a little.

In truth, he didn't need to go this far, but from this point of view, he was still considered sincere.

Luo Bai wasn't someone petty either, and immediately replied, "I didn't take it to heart."

Mordo shrugged and said helplessly, "I can say without exaggeration that you are the most talented sorcerer I have ever seen. I previously thought it would take you at least a month to finish learning... I never imagined you'd wrap it up in a few days. It's unreal!"

Although he knew Luo Bai was extraordinarily talented, he hadn't expected him to be this extraordinary.

Sigh.

How was the gap between people sometimes so vast?

Mordo felt a bit helpless.

At that moment, Luo Bai suddenly asked, "Right, what time does training usually start at Kamar-Taj?!"

Mordo asked in puzzlement, "Why do you ask that?!"

Luo Bai replied, "For training... Don't newly initiated sorcerers all go through systematic training?!"

Mordo shook his head and said, "You don't need training anymore."

Luo Bai was somewhat puzzled and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by no training?!"

Mordo explained, "After finishing the introductory courses, sorcerers can basically move about freely. Like you right now, you can choose to go to the library to read and study more magic on your own, or go out to train and gain experience. There's no rigid requirement that you must stay here."

"Does that mean I can move around freely from now on?!" Luo Bai asked.

"Yes. If you encounter a bottleneck you can't break through, you can come to me or the Sorcerer Supreme to seek answers. There are three Sanctums in total across Kamar-Taj. If there is danger, the Sanctums will recall all sorcerers, and you can return directly to Kamar-Taj from the Sanctums," Mordo explained.

Luo Bai furrowed his brows and complained somewhat helplessly, "So I'm completely relying on self-study?!"

He was a disciple of Kamar-Taj after all, and he had even obtained the Time Stone... How did it feel like he was constantly being left to fend for himself?

Mordo smiled. "With your talent, it's probably hard for anyone to teach you for more than a few days anyway."

This wasn't mockery; it was the truth.

Given this kind of talent, he would probably graduate without having studied for many days.

What's more, the training content was quite systematic, and what was taught each day was also very fixed. Following sorcerers around for training might actually hinder his learning progress.

Who knew just how fast he learned anyway?

Mordo felt helpless.

He had spent half a lifetime studying magic, after all, and was an Archmage-tier sorcerer.

This was his first time encountering a novice sorcerer whom even he couldn't teach.

"Alright, the library is here." Without dwelling on it further, Mordo offered a reminder.

The two stopped outside a building that looked thoroughly unremarkable and even somewhat dilapidated from the outside.

Passing through an old iron gate, they entered the library.

As soon as they stepped through the door, they saw a sorcerer sitting at a desk.

The sorcerer noticed them as well and stood up.

"This is the librarian. If you want to borrow books, you need to register with him," Mordo introduced.

Looking at the sorcerer before him, Luo Bai felt a hint of curiosity.

After all, in his impression, the librarian seemed to be Wong.

Though, thinking about it carefully.

In the plot, Wong only took office after the previous librarian was killed by Kaecilius.

So it was normal that the librarian wasn't Wong at this time.

"Alright, if you want to borrow books in the future, just come here... Right, are you going to live in Kamar-Taj from now on?!" Mordo suddenly asked while lost in thought.

Luo Bai thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that I don't have to live here?!"

"You've already learned Teleportation Magic. With your talent, learning for a few more days... could I possibly stop you from going out?!" Mordo retorted.

That seemed to make sense, too.

"A room has been prepared for you as well. Here's the address, you can head over yourself in a bit. But since you already have a villa, I don't think you'll be staying in the dorms," Mordo continued.

Luo Bai smiled and replied, "That's not necessarily true."

Kamar-Taj was still much safer than the outside world after all. Since he only knew some introductory magic right now, it would be good to stay here and learn more magic before heading out.

"Alright, I'm heading off. If you have any other questions, you can come find me again." Mordo said his farewells and then left.

After he left, Luo Bai began searching for books inside the library.

The books in the library were categorized very meticulously, with classifications for space, time, and all sorts of other types of magic books.

Luo Bai picked out a book from each category, and unexpectedly, he then found the holy book of magic -- the Book of the Vishanti.

There were two holy books in the Marvel Universe, which respectively recorded all the magic in this world.

One was the Book of the Vishanti, and the other was called the Darkhold.

They respectively recorded the white magic and black magic of the Marvel Universe.

It was just that because Kamar-Taj strictly forbade the study of dark magic, the Darkhold naturally couldn't be found inside the library.

However, for the time being, the books he had borrowed were already enough to study.

A full thirteen books!

You'd think he was preparing for college entrance exams by the look of it.

Luo Bai sighed.

After registering with the librarian, he returned to the dorms according to the address, and immediately began his book-devouring mode.

The first thing Luo Bai studied was the Book of the Vishanti.

After all, this book contained all white magic; mastering the magic on its pages would help him vastly increase his storage of magical energy.

Going on to study high-tier magic like time and space afterward would be much easier.

It was just that the intensity of the magic within the Book of the Vishanti was clearly higher than the Supreme Compendium.

After a rough read-through, Luo Bai discovered that it recorded the multi-dimensional teleportation secrets for Mystic Doors (portal gates), as well as learning methods for many high-tier spells such as the Ring of Raggadorr, the Mirror Dimension, Vishanti's Sacred Sword, astral projection, and gravity manipulation.

On the very last page, there was even a method to enter the Supreme Dimension, with a prompt stating that entering the Supreme Dimension would grant the blessing of the Vishanti.

All in all, it looked a lot more complicated.

Still... difficult as it was, he still had to learn it.

Luo Bai could only kick off his grueling study mode.
