Luo Bai was in a good mood after obtaining the original Time Stone, a smile that he couldn't hide on his face.
Modu, who was leading the way, seemed to sense his joy. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but say, "You seem to be in a good mood! Did the Supreme Mage tell you some good news?"
Luo Bai nodded and replied, "Yes, there is good news."
Modu didn't press further; after all, he was still thinking about the earlier "trial."
Although the "trial" had been interrupted, he was genuinely impressed by Luo Bai.
It only took him a few days of practice to reach such a level. It was truly remarkable.
Seeing Modu's change in mood, Luo Bai immediately explained, "I admit I had some doubts about you before, but I didn't expect your talent to be so exceptional... It surprised me, and I didn't mean to target you."
Modu's willingness to reconcile took Luo Bai by surprise.
In truth, he didn't have to apologize, but he was quite sincere in his approach.
Luo Bai wasn't a petty person, so he replied, "I don't take it to heart."
Modu shrugged, a little helpless. "I can say without exaggeration that you are the most talented mage I have ever seen. I used to think it would take you at least a month to finish the training..."
"But you completed it in just a few days!" he exclaimed. "That's incredible!"
Even though Modu knew Luo Bai was talented, he never expected him to be this exceptional.
Why were the differences between people so vast?
Modu felt somewhat helpless.
At this moment, Luo Bai suddenly asked, "By the way, what time does Kamar-Taj usually start training?"
Modu looked puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to know?"
Luo Bai replied, "Training... don't new mages need to go through systematic training?"
Modu shook his head. "You don't need to train right now."
Luo Bai was confused and quickly asked, "What do you mean, no training?!"
Modu explained, "After completing the introductory course, a mage can generally move freely. Like you now, you can choose to go to the library to read and learn more magic or go out to practice. There are no strict requirements to stay here."
"So, I can move freely from now on?!" Luo Bai asked.
"Yes. If you encounter a bottleneck, you can ask me or the Supreme Mage for help. There are three temples in Kamar-Taj, and if there's any danger, the temple will summon all the mages back. From the temple, you can go straight back to Kamar-Taj," Modu explained.
Luo Bai frowned, complaining helplessly, "So I'm completely self-taught?!"
After all, he was also a disciple of Kamar-Taj and had the Time Stone... Why did it feel like he had been left to fend for himself?
Modu smiled and said, "With your talent, it's probably hard for anyone to teach you for long."
This wasn't sarcasm; it was the truth.
With his abilities, he would likely graduate after just a few days of study.
Moreover, the training content was quite systematic, and the material learned each day was fairly fixed. If he were to train with other mages, his progress might actually be delayed.
Who knows how quickly he could learn?
Modu felt helpless.
After all, he had spent half his life studying magic and was an archmage himself.
This was the first time he had encountered a novice mage whom he couldn't teach.
"Okay, the library is up ahead." Without further thought, Modu reminded him.
The two stopped outside a building that looked quite unremarkable and even somewhat shabby from the outside.
They entered the library through an old iron door.
As soon as they walked in, they saw a mage sitting at a table.
The mage noticed them and stood up.
"This is the administrator of the library. If you want to borrow books, you need to register with him," Modu introduced.
Looking at the mage before him, Luo Bai felt a bit curious.
After all, in his impression, the library administrator was supposed to be the king.
But thinking back, the king only took office after the previous administrator was killed by Kaecilius.
So, it was normal for the administrator not to be the king at this time.
"Okay, if you want to borrow books in the future, you can come here... By the way, are you planning to live in Kamar-Taj?" Just as he was pondering this, Modu suddenly asked.
Luo Bai thought for a moment and asked, "Can I not live here?"
"You've now learned teleportation magic. With your talent, it won't take you long to master it. Can I really stop you from leaving?!" Modu replied.
That seemed reasonable.
"The room is ready for you. Here's the address; you can go there later. But since you already have a villa, I doubt you'll stay in the dormitory," Modu continued.
Luo Bai smiled and replied, "That's not necessarily the case."
After all, Kamar-Taj was much safer than the outside world. He only knew some introductory magic, so it would be wise to stay here and learn more before venturing out.
"Okay, I'll leave first. If you have any other questions, feel free to come back to me," Modu said as he said goodbye and left.
Once he was gone, Luo Bai began to search for books in the library.
The books were categorized meticulously, with various types of magic classified into categories like space and time.
Luo Bai picked one book from each category, and then he unexpectedly found a magic book titled "The Book of the Weishan Emperor."
In the Marvel universe, there are two sacred texts that record all the magic in the world.
One is the "Book of the Weishan Emperor," and the other is known as "The Darkhold."
They each document white magic and black magic within the Marvel realm.
However, Kamar-Taj explicitly prohibits the study of dark magic, so "The Darkhold" cannot be found in the library.
For now, though, the books he borrowed were sufficient for his studies.
A total of thirteen books!
If one didn't know better, they might think he was preparing for a college entrance examination.
Luo Bai sighed.
After registering with the administrator, he returned to the dormitory using the provided address and began reading.
The first book he studied was "The Book of the Weishan Emperor."
After all, this book contains all forms of white magic, and learning its content could significantly enhance his magical energy.
This would make it easier to learn high-level magic like time and space later on.
However, the intensity of the magic in "The Book of the Weishan Emperor" was clearly higher than that in "The Supreme Complete Collection."
After skimming through it, Luo Bai discovered it contained secrets about multidimensional travel (also known as portals), the Ring of Gragador, mirror space, the sacred sword of the Weishan Emperor, out-of-body experiences, gravity control, and many other advanced magical techniques.
The last page even contained a method to enter the Supreme Dimension, suggesting that once inside, one could receive the blessing of the Weishan Emperor.
Overall, it looked quite complicated.
But... it was difficult, yet he still had to learn it.
Luo Bai resolved to enter hard mode for learning.
