Chapter 007 You Just Said You Believed In Science, And You Teleported Through Space?!
Don't let the book's simplicity fool you; in reality, it's far from simple.
According to Luo Bai's knowledge, in the Marvel world on Earth, all white magic learned by humans was created by the [Vishanti].
If humans want to learn white magic, they must "borrow" energy from the Vishanti for practice.
Although it is a loan, not everyone can borrow it. You must possess some magical talent to successfully "borrow" energy.
"I didn't expect that I was actually good enough to be a mage?!" Luo Bai couldn't help but sigh, feeling the energy flowing through his body. His face was full of surprise that he couldn't hide.
Originally, he was worried that he lacked magical talent, but he hadn't expected to actually possess some!
This realization made Luo Bai very happy, and he felt even more motivated to learn.
Though the earlier content of "The Supreme Complete Collection" resembled a science textbook, it contained a wealth of knowledge, even discussing scientific concepts. The later chapters, however, were much more exciting.
They were filled with solid magical teachings!
Invisibility, energy projection, object penetration, telekinesis, teleportation, spatial teleportation, and more...
There were over a hundred methods of learning white magic recorded.
Luo Bai couldn't help but sigh.
Goodness.
I just told you to believe in science, and now I can teleport through space?!
The Master knows how to play.
While sighing, Luo Bai began learning magic.
To start, he needed to focus on the most basic skill: energy gathering.
Generally, the first step for a mage is energy absorption.
At this stage, energy is merely a ball of "qi" flowing through your body. You may feel it, but you can't use it yet.
Energy gathering involves controlling this mass of energy.
According to the instructions in the book, Luo Bai needed to concentrate and release the energy within him.
Though he understood every word and followed the instructions diligently, after several attempts, he hadn't even managed to gather any energy.
This left Luo Bai a little distressed, prompting him to mutter, "Why can't I gather the energy?! Is it because I'm not concentrating enough?!"
After staring at his empty hands for a long time, Luo Bai suddenly realized something.
"No, Ancient One, you gave me the magic book. What am I supposed to do without the Sling Ring?!"
...
The Sling Ring.
A magical tool developed by the fifth-generation Sorcerer Supreme in Kamar-Taj.
Its purpose is to help mages concentrate better and to open teleportation gates for cross-dimensional travel.
Simply put, it makes it easier for a mage to focus.
But the Ancient One didn't give him such an important item?!
"I didn't even get the Sling Ring... and you want me to practice hard!" Luo Bai couldn't help but complain.
At this moment, he felt a bit annoyed.
Why hadn't he thought to ask the Ancient One for a Sling Ring before?!
The Ancient One was currently 80% likely to be in Kamar-Taj.
That place was far from him, and it seemed impossible to find her. It looked like he could only practice hard on his own.
With a sigh, Luo Bai embarked on the long journey of cultivation.
He became so focused on practicing that he lost track of time. Eventually, after a long while, he finally managed to gather and control the energy.
He closed his hands, then opened them.
Small, bright yellow energy rays appeared between his palms.
As he turned his hands over, the tiny energy rays expanded into a square.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Bai continued to visualize the light in his mind while moving his hands, and soon an energy array appeared in the air.
He pushed the magic circle forward with both hands to spread it out.
After completing the energy array, Luo Bai repeated the same action.
With continuous gathering and control of energy, the energy within him kept increasing, and he became more skilled at manipulating it.
Initially, the energy formation lasted only about a minute. Then it extended to ten minutes, and finally, he could control the duration at will. Luo Bai spent another entire day on this.
After ensuring he had complete control over this technique, Luo Bai decided to learn the second ability.
Teleportation magic: the Door of Secrets.
That's right.
It's the teleportation magic that allows anyone or anything to be teleported to a designated location by drawing a yellow circle in the air.
In fact, teleportation magic is relatively basic white magic in Kamar-Taj, but Luo Bai had heard about it often—he frequently saw it on TV.
So, he was quite excited at that moment.
After carefully reading the practice method, Luo Bai suddenly understood.
The practice method wasn't complicated at all.
As long as you visualize the teleportation location in your mind and then open the teleportation gate, the teleportation can be completed.
However, the challenge is that this requires strong control skills and some basic knowledge of space magic.
Otherwise, you might encounter issues like inaccurate teleportation, failure to open the gate, or the gate closing too quickly.
For Luo Bai right now, perfectly opening the portal was definitely out of reach, so he could only practice more.
"Alas~~"
Luo Bai sighed again and continued to practice.
He didn't know how many days had passed in this endeavor.
Although he failed most of the time, he did not give up.
He concentrated, drew a circle with his right hand, and repeated the action, focusing intently.
Finally, a yellow circle appeared in the sky, growing larger and larger.
At last, Luo Bai succeeded!
He excitedly approached the other side of the portal but was surprised to find...
The teleportation location was a bit different from what he had intended.
Originally, he thought he was teleporting to Kamar-Taj.
After all, he really wanted to ask the Ancient One why she had given him "The Complete Collection of Supreme Beings" and whether she could provide him with a Sling Ring.
However...
It seemed he hadn't teleported to Kamar-Taj at all, but instead had arrived on a rooftop.
By coincidence, he happened to witness the scene where Tony Stark was being attacked.
At that moment, Tony Stark was wearing the red steel suit he had just developed.
Opposite him stood a man clad in a black steel suit.
The two seemed to have just undergone a fierce battle, and Tony Stark clearly couldn't win.
He was being lifted into the air like a chicken by the man in the black suit.
Just as the man was about to punch Tony Stark in the face... Luo Bai appeared.
His sudden appearance drew the attention of both individuals.
Luo Bai thought about leaving quickly.
But because he hadn't skillfully opened the portal, he couldn't control it well.
The portal closed before he could step through.
Luo Bai: "..."
His face darkened.
He could only greet them bravely: "Hi, Tony~~ I think... I may have shown up at the wrong time..."
