Just Entered Kamar-Taj, My Magic Started Volunteering!

The cold wind of the Himalayas swept across the courtyard.

Ren tightened the apprentice robe on his body.

He had time-traveled into the Marvel Universe for a full three days.

In this high-risk world where world-ending catastrophes happened on a whim, ordinary people were not even qualified to be cannon fodder.

Fortunately, his luck was good; right at the start, the Ancient One took him in at Kamar-Taj.

He became a newly admitted apprentice here.

[Ding!]

[Your Basic Magic Shield has sensed a survival crisis and has actively begun to crazily overwork itself!]

[After a night of diligent absorption, the Magic Shield has successfully absorbed a sufficient amount of Multiverse Energy.]

[Congratulations, Host, the Magic Shield has been completely mastered!]

The crisp prompt sounded in his mind.

Ren's face filled with joy as a thought moved.

His right hand quickly swept across in front of him.

Zhi-la!

The sound of splashing sparks rang out.

A circular energy shield emitting a golden light instantly took form!

Light circulated across the surface of the shield.

Ren raised his hand and forcefully smashed it against the stone pillar beside him.

Bang!

The hard stone pillar was smashed into a large pit.

Yet the golden shield did not even have a single trace of a crack.

The power was astonishing!

This was his system.

Without having to suffer through bitter meditation, as long as magic was unlocked, the skills would actively cultivate and upgrade!

It is time to go ask Sorcerer Carter for some new spells.

Ren put away the magic and patted the dust off his hands.

Carter was the senior sorcerer responsible for teaching their batch of newcomers.

Usually with a straight face, he had very strict requirements.

According to Carter, for an ordinary person to get started, it took at least three months of meditation just to produce a spark.

Ren had only spent three days now.

Open the panel.

Ren silently recited in his heart.

A translucent Light Screen popped out.

[Host: Ren]

[Identity: Kamar-Taj Novice Apprentice]

[Current Skill: Basic Magic Shield (Level 1 35%)]

Looking at the simple data, Ren sighed.

It was too shabby.

Spell proficiency was divided from level one to nine.

The shield that the Ancient One casually pinched out could even block the main cannons of alien warships.

His current level-one shield was fine for dealing with street punks, but upon encountering high-tier monsters, it was just a piece of paper.

Shield, my man, you are still too weak; you need to step up your intensity.

Ren casually complained.

A crisp sound immediately rang out in his mind.

[Ding!]

[Your Basic Magic Shield has sensed the Host's disdain, and its self-esteem has suffered a severe blow!]

[The Basic Magic Shield has turned grief and indignation into motivation, starting an overloaded self-improvement cycle!]

[Proficiency acquisition speed increased by 200%!]

Ren's eyes lit up.

Good grief, this skill actually had emotions?

Just apply a little pressure, and it would run off to work frantically overtime.

It was simply a god-tier working stiff.

Since Magic Shield was so sensible, he should also proceed with his next plan.

Ren closed the panel and pushed open the door, walking toward the outer courtyard.

Morning was Kamar-Taj's unshakable combat training time.

Being a Sorcerer here required not only cultivating mental energy, but also practicing close-quarters combat.

According to the Sorcerers, a robust physique could bear stronger magic power.

After finishing a set of military boxing, it was just right for a mid-session break.

Ren walked straight toward Master Carter.

Carter was nearing eighty years old this year, with a gentle temper, solid fundamentals, and the best methods for teaching newcomers.

"Master Carter, good morning." Ren offered a polite greeting.

Carter stroked his grayish-white goatee and spoke with a smile, "It's Ren. Is there something you need me for?"

Ren cut straight to the point, "Master, I want to learn some new Spells."

Hearing this, the smile on Carter's face faded somewhat.

He said earnestly, "Ren, I know you young people all like powerful, flashy Spells."

"But a ten-thousand-foot-tall building rises from the ground up."

"Basic Magic Shield tests your preliminary control over mental energy and Cosmic Energy."

"If you don't walk this step steadily, you will run into huge problems when learning anything in the future."

The old man spoke very earnestly.

He had seen too many ambitious geniuses who ultimately faded into the crowd because their foundations were unsteady.

He thought highly of Ren's steadiness, and didn't want this good seedling to take a detour.

"Master's lesson is right."

Ren nodded repeatedly, then shifted the conversation.

"But I've already practiced Magic Shield to success."

The air suddenly quieted down.

Master Carter's hand stroking his beard gave a fierce twitch, forcefully pulling out two white hairs.

Hiss--

Carter's mouth twitched from the pain.

His mind stirred up towering waves.

Practiced to success?

This kid had only started for three days, all things considered!

In the several-hundred-year history of Kamar-Taj, the person with the strongest talent had still spent a full half month!

Mastering a basic shield in three days?

Are you making some cosmic-level joke!

Carter forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart.

"Cough, cough..."

"Ren, what did you just say? The wind was too strong, I didn't hear clearly."

Ren assumed the old man's ears weren't working well, so he raised his volume and repeated it once.

"Master Carter, I've already mastered Magic Shield and am applying to learn the next Spell!"

As Ren spoke, he waved both hands, displaying the sparkling Magic Shield.

Carter's eyelids twitched wildly.

The hand held behind his back trembled nonstop.

He had taught for over forty years; what kind of geniuses hadn't he seen?

But a genius who practiced Magic Shield to success in three days—he hadn't even heard of one!

Magic Shield looked simple, but it actually required constructing complex energy Runes, and a single wrong step would prevent it from casting.

Many people only ever knew how to use the basic shield for their entire lives.

The young man before his eyes had only used three days!

"Master, is your body feeling unwell?"

Ren watched the facial muscles on the other person twitch, and asked with concern.

"No... nothing."

Carter quickly took a deep breath, maintaining his dignity as an elder.

He couldn't panic.

He had to stay steady.

To prevent a good sprout from becoming arrogant and complacent, Carter decided to knock him down a peg.

The old man put on a straight face and spoke with feigned calmness.

"Ahem, it's all right. Ren, your mastery of the shield you just displayed is passable."

"Among the generations of apprentices in Kamar-Taj, it's considered about average."

"You mustn't be arrogant; you still need to continue working hard in your cultivation, understand?"

Ren muttered to himself inwardly.

It seemed the old Sorcerer had higher horizons, and this little achievement of his really wasn't much.

"I understand, Master. Please teach me a new spell."

Ren's attitude was extremely proper.

Carter nodded with satisfaction, though he felt a bit guilty inside.

Talking nonsense with his eyes open was truly not easy.

"Next, I will teach you an advanced technique."

"Rearrange the runes of the shield to construct a stable magic weapon."

This was an essential spell for close-quarters combat.

The Ancient One often crafted magic fans and long whips with her bare hands, beating enemies until they fled in panic.

With that, Carter began to explain the principles of rune combination in detail.

Various complex terms were tossed out one after another.

Ren listened in utter confusion, which was practically more hypnotic than listening to higher mathematics in his past life.

He recognized every word, but when they were strung together, he had no idea what they meant at all.

[Ding!]

[The Basic Rune Arrangement Spell sensed that the host didn't understand, grew anxious enough to jump up and down, and began crazily self-analyzing!]

[Analysis successful! Basic Rune Arrangement leveled up to Lv. 1!]

[The Magic Weapon Construction Spell felt immense pressure, rushed to involution, and automatically generated an architectural blueprint!]

[Construction successful! Magic Weapon Architecture leveled up to Lv. 1!]

In an instant.

Countless profound and wondrous pieces of knowledge poured directly into his mind.

A confident smile couldn't help but surface on Ren's face.

What did it matter if he couldn't understand the theoretical class?

His magic rolled up on its own!
