In Marvel: Do You Really Think Becoming the Sorcerer Supreme Is Hard? Chapter 50

Wong:...

Mordo:...

Master, could you just say everything at once?

Dropping bombshells one after another like this is too much for our poor hearts to handle!

What the hell!

Not only could Zhang Yang break through dimensional barriers for teleportation now, he could even teleport to Dormammu's Dark Dimension?

That was practically a leap of two or three levels at once!

He had gone straight from Odin's dimensional space to the Dark Dimension?!

Wong and Mordo exchanged glances, swallowing hard.

Then they instinctively sucked in a cold breath.

"Haven't you two noticed a problem?" The Ancient One suddenly asked as the two of them fumed.

Wong and Mordo froze.

A problem?

What problem could there be?

Other than proving that Zhang Yang had exceptional magical talent, what else could it mean?

Wait... the Dark Dimension?

"Master, do you suspect that Zhang Yang has learned Black Magic?" Wong, knowledgeable as he was, was the first to react and realize the issue.

The Ancient One shook her head. "But there is no Black Magic energy on him."

Wong nodded. That was true.

There really was no trace of Black Magic on Zhang Yang.

Kaecilius, on the other hand, had been giving off an eerie aura lately. Wong did not know whether he was simply overthinking it.

"Then what are you worried about, Master?" Wong could not help asking as he looked at The Ancient One.

The Ancient One turned around, clasping her hands behind her back. Her expression grew increasingly grave. "I don't know whether keeping Zhang Yang at Kamar-Taj was the right decision."

Mordo quickly said, "Master, I said from the start that Zhang Yang is dangerous to keep at Kamar-Taj."

Although Mordo acknowledged Zhang Yang's talent,

it still could not change his fundamental belief that there was something wrong with Zhang Yang.

If Zhang Yang did not affect Kamar-Taj, that was one thing. But if he did, Mordo would absolutely not want him to remain at Kamar-Taj.

"You can't put it that way." Wong shook his head at Mordo. "Perhaps there is some misunderstanding. Zhang Yang doesn't seem like someone aligned with dark forces. I trust him."

The Ancient One sighed but did not comment.

After all, she had observed Zhang Yang for so long and had found nothing unusual.

She simply could not see Zhang Yang's future or probe his thoughts.

That had left The Ancient One somewhat perplexed.

But if she were truly asked to give up such a promising talent as Zhang Yang, she would find it difficult to make that decision.

After thinking it over, The Ancient One decided to seek out Odin. Perhaps he would have something to say.

The Ancient One said to Wong, "I need to go out for a few days. I'll leave Zhang Yang to you for now. Also, try not to let anything bad get close to him and affect his judgment."

Wong:...

Master, could you not leave him to me?

"Don't worry. The Tesseract should be enough to keep him occupied for a while." Seeing Wong's anxiety, The Ancient One reassured him.

Only then did Wong breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he would not have to teach Zhang Yang again.

Just as The Ancient One was about to leave after Wong agreed, Mordo suddenly called out to her. "Sorcerer Supreme."

The Ancient One stopped.

"Sorcerer Supreme, I believe I mentioned before that S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were investigating us around Kathmandu. Do you remember?" Mordo asked respectfully.

"Yes, I know. They are still there."

The Ancient One still paid some attention to matters around Kamar-Taj.

Black Widow's group had indeed been searching for Kamar-Taj for quite some time.

It was simply that The Ancient One had no time to deal with them.

"Should I go explain things to them?" Mordo asked.

"They will leave when they fail to find it," The Ancient One said calmly, seemingly not taking Black Widow's group seriously.

Mordo nodded, then added, "By the way, Sorcerer Supreme. Something happened in New York again. There have been many bizarre explosions lately, and they all seem to be humans detonating themselves."

The Ancient One raised a brow. She did know something about that.

It seemed to be related to the Extremis Virus.

Chapter 79

The human heart was the most complicated thing. Earth never lacked ambitious people.

However, internal affairs on Earth had always been handled by the Avengers, so The Ancient One would not intervene ahead of time.

To The Ancient One, even if she could stop an established timeline, what was meant to happen would still occur along the timeline without exception. So whether she helped or not was meaningless.

Yet Zhang Yang seemed to exist outside the Universe's timeline.

Compared to those matters, The Ancient One was more concerned about Zhang Yang now.

"Have the Sanctum Sorcerers in New York keep a close watch on it," The Ancient One said blandly.

Mordo nodded. After bowing, The Ancient One opened a Portal and left the Sanctum.

"Farewell, Sorcerer Supreme."

The following morning.

At the training grounds, the new Apprentices were already training. Thor only slowly strolled out from Kamar-Taj's guest hall, walking toward the training grounds with the casual swagger of a lord.

He swept his gaze across the grounds and saw not a single familiar face, which left him puzzled.

After yawning, Thor stepped forward and shouted at the sorcerers who were training, "Hey! Does anyone know where The Ancient One, Wong, Mordo, and Zhang Yang are?"

Thor's shout startled the training sorcerers. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him in confusion.

At that moment, Mordo emerged from the back of the crowd.

Upon seeing Thor, Mordo frowned, clearly displeased.

However, considering that Thor was an Asgardian, was injured, and had only just arrived at Kamar-Taj, Mordo did not berate him harshly. He merely said, "Now that your injuries have healed, come train. Training starts at six in the morning. Don't be late tomorrow."

"Training?" Hearing that, Thor raised his voice. "Train for what? Didn't my father send me here to cultivate? This prince of Asgard has trained on battlefields since childhood. Your training is child's play."

Thor's tone was plainly arrogant, and his voice was so loud that nearly all of Kamar-Taj could hear him.

That made Mordo even more displeased.

Oblivious to Mordo's irritation, Thor scanned the crowd and continued loudly, "Huh? Where's Zhang Yang? Why isn't he here? Didn't that kid say he wanted to fight me? We still need to decide who's the senior and who's the junior!"

Thor's self-important remarks made Mordo's face turn livid.

It did not matter whether Thor was the prince of Asgard.

Thor was currently cultivating at Kamar-Taj. Mordo was also the senior disciple. With so many people watching, Mordo understood that if he did not teach Thor a lesson, Kamar-Taj would descend into chaos sooner or later.

With that thought, Mordo raised his hand and cast the Crimson Bands at Thor.

When Thor saw Mordo suddenly attack, he froze and raised his hand as if to summon his hammer. But then he abruptly remembered that his hammer had been destroyed.

Without his hammer, Thor did not know how to use the Thunder God's Power for the moment.

He was quickly bound by Mordo's Crimson Bands.

After struggling a few times, Thor realized that the chains were extraordinarily sturdy. Even with his strength, he could not break free?!

"You bastard! What did you do to me?! Let me go!" Thor roared furiously at Mordo.

Mordo's expression darkened as he rebuked Thor. "Do you think you're still the prince of Asgard? This is Kamar-Taj! Without Mjolnir, you're nothing!"

Mordo's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Thor, who had been struggling, stunned for a moment.

Then he became even more enraged.

Thor roared at Mordo, "You foolish mortal! Even without Mjolnir, I am still Thor! The future king of Asgard!"

Mordo frowned. Impatiently, he opened a Portal, threw Thor into the space-time passage, and shrugged. "Your godhood really is pathetically weak."

The noisy training grounds fell silent at that moment.

Next to the training grounds, inside Kamar-Taj's fighting arena.

Hearing Thor's roar, Wong and Zhang Yang exchanged glances and shook their heads.

"Honestly, Thor's temper really does resemble Odin's when he was younger," Wong said.

"So Odin came to Kamar-Taj back then and roared like Thor?" Zhang Yang asked after hearing Wong's words.

Wong shook his head. "Not exactly. But according to the records in the Kamar-Taj Library, Odin was just as hot-tempered in his youth."

"Alright." Zhang Yang smiled, then looked at Wong and asked, "Did Master say when she would return?"

When Zhang Yang arrived at the fighting arena, The Ancient One was absent, while Wong had been waiting there early.

Wong said that, following The Ancient One's instructions, Zhang Yang was to meditate in his room first.

That meditation had lasted the entire morning.

When Zhang Yang came out, Wong told him that The Ancient One had gone out on business and that Wong would continue teaching him for the next few days.

That was why Zhang Yang could not help asking.

"Soon. She should be back in a few days." Wong looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Master said you should familiarize yourself with Space Magic over the next few days and become proficient with it."

Zhang Yang nodded. "Space Magic really is harder than basic magic. I need to think about it for a few more days."

Wong:...

Wong felt that Zhang Yang was showing off.

Although Wong knew Zhang Yang had excellent comprehension,

did Zhang Yang really think Space Magic was as simple as intermediate or advanced magic?!

This was one of the Universe's six fundamental attributes!

Did he understand what one of the fundamental attributes meant?

Think about it for a few more days?

Even if Zhang Yang had great comprehension, it could not possibly be that great!

He could comprehend Space Magic after just a few more days?

The previous magic was one thing. It had only been basic magic, so it was understandable that Zhang Yang grasped it quickly.

But this time, it was Space Magic!

The further one progressed, the harder magic became to master.

For an ordinary person—no, even for a genius, alright!

To master Spatial Power, not to mention a lifetime, would take at least fifty years, right?

And that was for a genius to reach the proficiency The Ancient One had mentioned!

Yet Zhang Yang wanted to become proficient in just a few days.

Impossible.
