Another Genius of Kamar-Taj

After merging the Talent Fragment for the Vishanti's Magic Chains, Wang Yang finally understood the difference between these Magic Chains and runic weapons formed by arranging basic runes.

Most of Kamar-Taj's magic was white magic, and it was connected to the divine Vishanti.

The Vishanti Chains spell contained a very distinct trace of the Vishanti's power.

That was precisely why this spell was more powerful than ordinary magic.

Seeing the serious expression on Wang Yang's face, Hamir smiled.

"Come, let me explain this spell to you in detail!"

"Without me, learning this spell would be nothing but a pipe dream. It would be impossible!"

Hamir spoke confidently.

Of course, there was something else he kept to himself.

Even if he taught Wang Yang wholeheartedly, Wang Yang might not be able to learn it.

The Vishanti Chains was not a complicated spell, but it tested the strength of one's mental power and demanded exceptional control.

It was also an extremely powerful spell. An attack imbued with divine power was formidable whether used to bind an enemy or strike them.

If Wang Yang could learn it, he would undoubtedly benefit a great deal.

Still, learning this spell would take some effort.

Hamir watched Wang Yang with a smile.

He refused to believe Wang Yang could learn this spell so easily, too.

After merging the Talent Fragment, Wang Yang understood that this spell required exceptional control. Every chain demanded substantial mental power and magical energy.

But his mental power was already strong, and his control had shown itself in his other spells.

So he did not think this spell would be harder than the Mirror Dimension.

As Hamir explained, he watched the serious look on Wang Yang's face and continued, "Wang Yang, there's no need to rush!"

"This spell is rather difficult and requires tremendous control over magic. After all, I developed it through painstaking research!"

"If you can master it in a month, that would already be remarkable!"

Hamir was confident in that estimate, which he had only arrived at because Wang Yang could master spells so quickly.

In his view, Wang Yang would probably need six months or a year.

Of course, he did not want Wang Yang to suffer too great a setback.

When he saw Wang Yang close his eyes, Hamir assumed he had been discouraged because he could not master it.

Hamir hurried to reassure him.

"Wang Yang, running into difficulties with magic is perfectly normal!"

"What you need to do is overcome the difficulty before you, then work hard to gain insight. Believe in yourself. You'll learn it sooner or later!"

Hamir's reassuring voice abruptly brought Wang Yang back to his senses.

"Master, you've misunder-"

Wang Yang opened his eyes. He had only been simulating the spell in his mind.

But before he could finish, Hamir interrupted him.

"I know you're very talented, and you don't want others to underestimate you!"

"Don't worry. I've seen thousands of apprentices, if not ten thousand. A little temporary setback means nothing. I'm sure you can learn it!"

Hamir patted Wang Yang's shoulder, his face full of encouragement.

That was understandable. Hamir really had seen far too many apprentices, and quite a few had been geniuses. Although Wang Yang was even more gifted, Hamir thought he was probably much the same.

Looking at Hamir, Wang Yang began to wonder whether he really was incapable.

But recalling the simulation he had just run in his mind, he figured that even if he could not cast it perfectly yet, he should be close.

"Master Hamir, you've misunderstood. I was trying to say that I might already be able to cast this spell!"

Wang Yang hurried to explain.

"Wang Yang, now that you've admitted it, just work har-"

"Huh? What?"

"What did you just say? What did you say?"

Hamir had initially thought Wang Yang was admitting he could not do it. Then he registered what Wang Yang had said and wondered if he had misheard.

His face was filled with disbelief.

"Master Hamir, I'm saying I might already have learned this spell!"

Wang Yang sounded a little uncertain himself.

Still, learning a spell was hardly anything surprising to him.

"That's impossible!"

Hamir shook his head firmly, then continued, "Wang Yang, don't act like this just because you're a genius. If you've mastered it, you've mastered it. If you haven't, you haven't. There's nothing wrong with that!"

"Then let me try!"

Wang Yang nodded. He was not certain whether he had mastered it, either.

Although he had merged Hamir's talent, that did not necessarily mean he had mastered the spell. For instance, he had only fully mastered the Mirror Dimension after merging several fragments and listening to Wong's explanation.

As he spoke, countless runes appeared in Wang Yang's hands. At the same time, those runes formed several platinum-colored chains that moved as though they were alive.

At the sight, Hamir's eyes went wide.

The spell he had been so confident would stump Wang Yang had actually been learned this easily, too?

"How is this possible!"

"But these really are the Vishanti Chains, and there are multiple chains!"

"This is just unbelievable!"

Even Hamir's voice had changed.

He hurried forward a few steps, examining the Magic Chains formed in Wang Yang's hands.

He looked at them as though they were some priceless natural treasure, muttering to himself.

"How is this possible? It can't be!"

"Someone who has only just encountered this spell learned it immediately? That's impossible!"

Hamir's emotions were incredibly complicated.

He had deliberately chosen this spell to stump Wang Yang, only for Wang Yang to learn it so easily. What a blow.

"Master Hamir, how are these Vishanti Chains? Is there something wrong with them?"

Seeing Master Hamir scrutinize his spell like that, Wang Yang thought there might be a problem and hurried to ask.

"A problem?"

Hamir smiled bitterly. What problem could there possibly be?

Even he was not this proficient.

This boy was far too favored by the Vishanti. His mastery of magic was actually this advanced.

"No, no. You've mastered the spell well. Very well..."

What a blow.

He had thought he could stump Wang Yang for a change, but all he had done was make himself look even less capable.

"Master Hamir, does that mean I've mastered it?"

Wang Yang let out a long breath. He had thought there was something wrong with his grasp of the spell, especially since Master Hamir had said it would take at least a month to master.

Had Hamir not seen Wang Yang's sincere expression, he would have thought Wang Yang was deliberately making fun of him.

After this, he was truly convinced.

Wang Yang really was a genius. At that thought, Hamir remembered another genius.

"That's right, you really have mastered it. But another genius of Kamar-Taj will be returning soon. You two can meet then!"
