In Marvel: Do You Really Think Becoming the Sorcerer Supreme Is That Hard? Chapter 16

As Wong spoke, he glanced at Odin, then hurriedly lowered his head.

Saying he was not afraid was impossible.

He was scared out of his wits.

After hearing the two of them, Odin ignored Wong and fixed his gaze directly on Zhang Yang.

"Do you know who I am?!" Odin stepped forward and asked Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang sized Odin up, then nodded. "Forgive my bold guess, but you are the Allfather, Odin, correct?"

As soon as those words left his mouth, Odin's brow furrowed slightly.

He had not expected some unknown nobody in the Nine Realms to know his identity and still dare to look him in the eye.

That was somewhat beyond Odin's expectations.

Wong and Berkeley, standing nearby, were utterly stunned.

This kid... knew the man before him was Odin?

And he could still stay this calm? Was he really that formidable?!

Wong and Berkeley exchanged glances. They had originally thought Zhang Yang was merely talented, but they had not expected him to remain so composed in the face of trouble, with such a steady state of mind. That truly caught them off guard.

For some reason, they seemed to see a trace of the Sorcerer Supreme's bearing in Zhang Yang.

"You said you drew that Portal?" Odin spoke again at that moment.

It was not an interrogation, but a question.

Zhang Yang nodded.

He did not deny it.

Odin frowned deeply. Rather than speaking again, he turned to Wong. "He is merely your Apprentice?"

Wong nodded repeatedly. "He only entered Kamar-Taj less than a week ago. I hope the Allfather will not make things difficult for him."

He had studied magic for less than a week?

Yet he had broken through Asgard's barrier, opened a Portal to Asgard, and even opened it inside Odin's palace?

Odin frowned.

Holding Gungnir, he walked toward Zhang Yang.

Wong, who stood before Zhang Yang, panicked at the sight and hurriedly said to Odin, "Allfather..."

Before he could finish, Odin's glare frightened the rest of his words back down his throat.

Even though he was afraid, Wong did not retreat a single step.

"I will not harm him," Odin said in a deep voice.

He seemed to be reassuring Wong. Though his tone was stiff, those words at least put Wong somewhat at ease.

Odin, the famed Allfather whose name shook the entire Multiverse.

His word was law.

Since he said he would not harm Zhang Yang, he certainly would not.

Wong moved aside slightly.

As Wong stepped away, Odin slowly walked up to Zhang Yang. He looked at Zhang Yang without speaking, merely placing a hand against Zhang Yang's forehead.

That left Zhang Yang somewhat bewildered.

He felt no changes in his body, nor any discomfort.

At that moment, Zhang Yang looked at Odin and felt as though he were performing some kind of cult ritual, but he did not dare interrupt him.

After quite a while, Odin slowly lowered his hand, an unusual expression appearing on his face.

His suddenly widened eyes seemed to contain a trace of shock.

However, no one noticed those subtle changes.

"For The Ancient One's sake, I will not make things difficult for Kamar-Taj." After a long while, Odin finally spoke.

Those words were like a pardon, leaving Wong and Berkeley immensely relieved.

"Kamar-Taj thanks the Allfather for his magnanimity!"

Wong and Berkeley bowed.

Without wasting another moment, they opened a Portal and respectfully sent Odin back.

Once Odin had left, Wong wiped the sweat from his forehead, slumped down at the desk, and let out a long sigh.

When it mattered most, the Sorcerer Supreme was still the one who came through!

Chapter 25

No matter what, Odin had finally been sent away.

Wong sighed.

Looking at Berkeley, who was sprawled on the floor and refused to get up, Wong said unhappily, "At your age, and you are still this unsteady! You have disgraced Kamar-Taj! Get up already!"

Glancing at Zhang Yang, Wong lowered his voice beside Berkeley's ear. "You are his senior, and you have even taught Zhang Yang! If you act like this, won't Zhang Yang start doubting Kamar-Taj's strength?"

Berkeley wanted to cry but had no tears. He did not dare argue with Wong and could only swallow his grievances in silence.

Damn it.

He had not wanted this either!

If it had been anyone else, Berkeley would not have acted this way. No matter how afraid he was, he would have kept up appearances!

But the person standing there just now had been Odin!

Good heavens!

With a wave of his hand, Odin could have wiped Berkeley out without leaving a trace. Berkeley was only an Apprentice Sorcerer. How was he supposed to keep his composure?!

"I was scared, Arch-Sorcerer," Berkeley said with a tearful face, his voice trembling beside Wong's ear.

Wong frowned and rebuked him in a low voice, "I was scared too!"

That was the truth.

He really had been scared.

But...

"Now what are we supposed to do? Won't Zhang Yang doubt Kamar-Taj's abilities?" Wong was slightly angry.

He rolled his eyes at Berkeley.

"I'll think of something." Berkeley hurriedly spoke, turning his gaze toward Zhang Yang.

At that moment.

Zhang Yang stood straight inside the Kamar-Taj Library.

Berkeley walked over, about to speak, when Zhang Yang bowed to Wong and said, "I caused trouble for Kamar-Taj."

Zhang Yang knew he had caused a disaster.

Although Odin and The Ancient One should not have been far apart in strength, they each belonged to different domains.

And the powerful figures in the Marvel world were especially territorial.

By causing such a disturbance, Zhang Yang would surely make Odin and The Ancient One become enemies.

Besides, Wong had been so anxious just now, standing in front of him because he feared Odin might hurt him. If Zhang Yang did not express some apology now, he would truly be letting down Wong's favoritism toward him.

No matter what.

After being transported here for so long.

Zhang Yang had also felt Kamar-Taj's warmth.

Everyone here had treated him quite well.

Hearing Zhang Yang admit his fault, Wong felt deeply moved and quickly shook his head. "It is nothing. Protecting Kamar-Taj is my duty in the first place."

Though his words were official and polite, his voice was much gentler than usual.

At that moment, Berkeley, standing beside Zhang Yang, hurriedly said, "Zhang Yang, although you made a mistake, you just confessed everything to Odin and bravely admitted your error. That is highly commendable."

After speaking, Berkeley tucked his still trembling hands behind his back and said solemnly to Zhang Yang, "Just now, the Arch-Sorcerer and I discussed it. Your actions are worthy of praise, so we have decided to make an exception and teach you one of Kamar-Taj's ultimate arts. Only Kamar-Taj's personal disciples are allowed to learn this magic. It is extremely powerful. Do you want to learn it?"

An ultimate art?

Something only personal disciples could learn?

Since when did Kamar-Taj have personal disciples?

The moment Berkeley finished speaking, Wong froze.

Wong looked at Berkeley. For a moment, he had no idea what trick Berkeley was trying to pull. Just as he was about to question him, Zhang Yang spoke first. "I do."

Two simple, direct words.

There was even anticipation in Zhang Yang's eyes.

That immediately left Wong dumbfounded. Using telepathic magic, he asked Berkeley, "No, since when did Kamar-Taj have an ultimate art? And personal disciples?!"

The Sorcerer Supreme, The Ancient One, had always been a relatively easygoing sorcerer.

She did not put on any great airs.

Thus, Kamar-Taj did not have many rules, and its teaching methods were relatively casual as well.

The only real distinctions were the sorcerer titles.

For ease of management.

The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj were divided into five ranks. From lowest to highest, they were Apprentice, Apprentice Sorcerer, Master Sorcerer, Arch-Sorcerer, and Sanctum Sorcerer.

Those ranks had been established by Mordo, the senior disciple.

Because Mordo handled much of Kamar-Taj's management.

Although there were ranks, everyone was a cultivator, and cultivation was fundamentally about cultivating the heart. Most sorcerers did not put on airs and got along casually.

No one had ever heard of personal disciples or ultimate arts.

That was why Berkeley's words had confused Wong.

Berkeley, on the other hand, looked completely unconcerned and continued speaking solemnly to Zhang Yang. "Do you know why we were so afraid when the Allfather Odin appeared just now?"

Zhang Yang cautiously asked, "Because he is powerful?"

Berkeley neither nodded nor shook his head. "Not entirely."

Zhang Yang frowned and asked in confusion, "What do you mean, not entirely?"

Berkeley sighed and said mysteriously, "Because Odin used Fear Magic on us just now."

Wong: ???

Zhang Yang: "???"

Fear Magic?

What the heck was that?

Zhang Yang was rather confused.

He had thought Kamar-Taj's ultimate art would at least be something like creating the Mirror Dimension, the kind of magic The Ancient One often used.

But what kind of thing was Fear Magic?

Then Zhang Yang could not help but ask, "Odin... knows magic?"

Berkeley answered with certainty, "Of course. The Allfather Odin and the Sorcerer Supreme knew each other long ago. It would not be quite right to say the Allfather knows magic, but when the two of them exchanged knowledge, they naturally learned some things from each other. If you do not believe me, ask the Arch-Sorcerer."

As Berkeley spoke, he looked at Wong with a pleading expression.

Wong blankly gave an "Mm."
