Wong rolled his eyes at Berkeley. "You think enlightenment alone is enough to master it? Do you really think people from other dimensions are just sitting around doing nothing? Unless he can directly break through the barrier, or knows the spell for some Other-Dimensional Space, how could it be that easy? Do you really think magic is so easy to learn?"

Berkeley suddenly understood!

"As expected, the Arch-Sorcerer has a way!"

Wong believed that Portal Magic could be both strong and weak.

First, if one could practice it until they could control it at will, then in battle, it would practically be like using cheats. Forget touching you—even getting close would be difficult for the enemy.

Second, it was convenient.

A must-have for home and travel. If Zhang Yang could truly reach the level Wong described, then basically nowhere in the entire Multiverse would be able to trap him. It was the fighter jet of escape magic!

And the final, most important point was that it did not pose much of a threat to Earth.

Even if Zhang Yang mastered Teleportation Magic to its peak, it was not combat magic after all. The chances of it having a major impact on Earth were slim.

For the time being, this was the only magic Wong could teach Zhang Yang.

There was only one day left before the Sorcerer Supreme and the others returned.

Once The Ancient One came back,

everything would be easy to handle.

At the very least, Portal Magic would keep Zhang Yang occupied for two or three days.

That was what Wong thought.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yang came to the Kamar-Taj Library with Berkeley.

Berkeley had come to pay his respects, while Zhang Yang had come to learn.

"Arch-Sorcerer." The two bowed when they saw Wong.

Wong nodded.

Ignoring Berkeley, he looked directly at Zhang Yang and asked, "How did it go after you returned yesterday? Did you try seeing how far you could teleport?"

Wong's words made Berkeley turn to look at Zhang Yang as well.

For some reason, Berkeley felt extremely nervous.

Zhang Yang, on the other hand, remained calm. "Wong, I haven't tried it yet. I thought about it all night, and there are a lot of strange symbols in my head."

Wong froze.

Strange symbols?

"Try it." Without another word, Wong spoke to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang nodded. Just as he was about to raise his hand, he suddenly looked at Wong and asked, "By the way, Wong, I've been wanting to ask since yesterday. Why are you so fast when drawing Portals or using the Rings of Raggadorr?"

Zhang Yang had actually wanted to ask this yesterday.

He had noticed that his own casting speed was nowhere near as fast as Wong's.

That left Zhang Yang somewhat puzzled.

But yesterday, he had been too focused on thinking about Portals and had forgotten to ask Wong.

"Practice makes perfect. I've used these spells for decades, so naturally I'm faster than ordinary people." Wong answered honestly. "Once you use them long enough, you'll naturally become faster too."

So that was it.

Having received his answer, Zhang Yang asked no more questions. He simply raised his hand and began casting Portal Magic.

Zhang Yang's casting speed was not particularly fast.

He raised his hand and drew a circle in the air with his right hand.

Yellow light flickered in the air, forming a black space like a black hole, connected to an Other-Dimensional Space.

Once the circle was complete, an image of another place slowly emerged on the other side of the Portal.

Both Wong and Berkeley could not help staring into the Portal.

It would have been fine if they had not looked. The moment they did, both were dumbfounded.

This...

It was a magnificent palace filled with European style.

Every wall, floor, and even the tables and chairs looked exceptionally exquisite.

A man and a woman stood not far from the Portal.

The man wore a golden robe, held a golden spear, and had a face full of silver stubble.

The woman wore a princess-like gown, dressed with elegance and propriety.

At the very instant the Portal opened,

the woman happened to kiss the man on the cheek.

Although the woman did not look particularly young, she still looked far younger than the man.

This scene made Wong, Zhang Yang, and Berkeley all feel rather awkward.

Berkeley could not help whispering to Wong, "That old man is really lucky. At his age, he still has so much energy."

At the same time,

the man seemed to sense power from another dimension breaking through his barrier.

He turned around with remarkable calm, looked into the Portal, and said in a commanding voice, "Insolence! Who dares trespass into my Asgard?!"

Wong and Berkeley froze.

What the hell?

This was... Asgard?

Then wasn't the person before them the god-king Odin?

"Quick! Zhang Yang! Close it! Something terrible has happened!" Wong said to Zhang Yang in panic.

Damn it, Zhang Yang!

He had opened a Portal straight to Asgard and had even caught the queen and Odin being intimate!

What a sin!

Startled by Wong, Zhang Yang hurriedly tried to erase the Portal.

However,

it was too late.

Odin had already stepped through the Portal, and the expression on his face was far from pleasant.

Looking at Odin, who had appeared in the Kamar-Taj Library,

Wong was instantly dumbfounded.

No way.

Zhang Yang's Portal had directly brought Odin over?!

Well, they were screwed now!

What were they supposed to do after opening a Portal and bringing Odin over?!

And what if they could not beat him?

Waiting for answers online.

Urgent!

Wong and Berkeley both felt like dying.

Looking at Odin standing in the library, holding Gungnir and wearing golden battle robes, their faces alternated between green and pale.

The air was deathly quiet, with a lingering trace of awkwardness.

"Who was it that dared open a Portal into my Asgard?!" Odin swept his cold gaze across the three of them, his face growing somewhat stern.

Odin's tone was not heavy.

But every word was harsh. Combined with his kingly bearing, it frightened Berkeley so badly that his legs went weak.

Boom!

Just then,

Odin lightly struck Gungnir against the ground, producing a crisp, powerful sound.

Berkeley was so frightened that he immediately dropped to his knees.

Who was this person?!

Odin! The god-king!

The Allfather, ruler of the Nine Realms!

A figure even the Sorcerer Supreme, The Ancient One, had to show some respect to!

Wouldn't they be finished if they offended him?

Berkeley was panicking. Kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, he did not dare say a word.

It had to be said, Odin truly was the god-king. The unparalleled kingly authority and presence radiating from him made ordinary people genuinely afraid to even meet his gaze.

Even Wong, who held a certain position in Kamar-Taj, had been intimidated into silence by Odin.

Just as he was considering how to explain this,

Zhang Yang suddenly spoke from the side.

He first gave Odin a Kamar-Taj salute, then looked him directly in the eye and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I'm sorry. I opened the Portal. I'm an Apprentice of Kamar-Taj and have recently been practicing Portals. I don't know how it opened to your location. If I disturbed you, please forgive me."

Zhang Yang's tone was very sincere.

After all, he was the one who had made the mistake first.

He had accidentally seen others being intimate and intruded upon their territory. An apology was only natural.

A man should bear responsibility for his own actions. He could not possibly make Wong and Senior Brother Berkeley take the blame for him.

Wong, who had remained silent beside him, could not help looking at Zhang Yang after hearing this.

He sighed inwardly.

A newborn calf truly feared no tiger.

Kid, the man standing before you is Odin, the god-king who was currently conquering and unifying the Nine Realms!

A renowned figure throughout the entire Multiverse!

Even The Ancient One had to show Odin some courtesy!

And you dared speak to Odin like that?

Sigh—

Wong silently sighed to himself. Zhang Yang had only been in Kamar-Taj for a few days, so it was normal that he did not know.

Still, Zhang Yang's action made Wong feel a little more favorable toward him.

Good kid. He dared to take responsibility for his actions. He was a real man.

But if he let an Apprentice shoulder the burden, where would that leave his dignity as an Arch-Sorcerer?

Wong immediately stepped in front of Zhang Yang, bowed to Odin, and said, "Kamar-Taj has failed in its teaching. If you wish to assign blame, I am willing to go to Asgard to apologize. Please do not make things difficult for my Apprentice."
