Chapter 009 This Is A Genius!!!
Fortunately, the goddess of luck had not abandoned him and saved him at the critical moment.
As a result, Luo Bai was even a little happy, a smile on his face.
But Tony Stark couldn't share in the laughter; his expression was one of shock. "Wait a minute. Why did Obadiah disappear?!"
He genuinely couldn't understand how such a large figure as Obadiah could vanish suddenly!
"He entered the portal himself and was sent away," Luo Bai explained.
Portal?!
"What is that?!" Tony Stark asked, furrowing his brows even more.
"The secret door... it's a magic of space teleportation," Luo Bai continued.
Although he spoke lightly, Tony Stark was far from calm.
"Magic?! Are you kidding me?!" Tony Stark exclaimed, almost screaming.
Luo Bai calmly and seriously replied, "Do you think I'm joking?!"
While it was somewhat unbelievable, recalling Obadiah's sudden disappearance, Tony Stark had to accept it.
"To be honest, I've only seen magic on TV before... Magic actually exists in this world?! This is unscientific!!" Tony Stark exclaimed again, his mouth agape.
In fact, the Marvel world had never been an ordinary urban setting.
There were many mages, superpowered individuals, and more.
However, it was understandable for Tony Stark, as an ordinary human, to be oblivious to these supernatural phenomena.
Thinking of this, Luo Bai couldn't help but respond, "That's because you still know too little about this world."
Tony Stark's expression darkened as he replied incredulously, "It's hard for me to believe that you're saying this to me... You look ten years younger than I do!"
Come on, Luo Bai looked like a college student, but he was over thirty!
Being scolded by a college student about how little he understood the world was difficult to accept.
But looking at it now... he really didn't know much.
"So you always appear inexplicably, and it's because of this magic?!" Tony Stark asked.
"Well... more or less," Luo Bai admitted, as he had no better explanation.
"So, you're actually a mage?!" Tony Stark asked again.
Luo Bai nodded seriously. "Yes, I am a mage."
Tony Stark fell silent, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief.
After what felt like an eternity, he finally came to his senses and asked a crucial question: "So, where did you just teleport Obadiah to?! Will he come back?!"
Where was he sent?
Luo Bai was taken aback.
To be honest, he didn't know very well.
He had simply wanted to go home when he opened the portal, aiming for the villa.
But since he wasn't yet proficient in teleportation magic, Luo Bai noticed when the portal opened that it didn't seem to lead to the villa but rather to a strange place.
Before he could take a closer look, Obadiah rushed in.
Where were they sent?!
Luo Bai was puzzled.
...
At the same time.
In the main palace of Kamar-Taj.
The Ancient One and Obadiah glared at each other.
They remained silent for about five seconds before Obadiah, in a rage, spoke up: "Shit! Where is this?! Where's Tony? Where has he gone?!"
"This is Kamar-Taj; Tony Stark is in New York at this time," the Ancient One replied calmly.
"Kamar-Taj?! What the hell is that?!" Obadiah shouted.
The Ancient One maintained his calm demeanor. "Kamar-Taj is located in Kathmandu and is a magical sanctum."
"A magical sanctum?! Are you kidding me?! I was in New York just now, and now you say I'm in Nepal?!" Obadiah exclaimed, disbelief written all over his face.
Just a second ago, he had been fighting Tony Stark. Now, a bald man appeared and claimed he was in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal?!
What kind of magic was this?!
Could he believe it?!
"I know, you were with Tony and that boy Luo Bai! I didn't expect Tony to have so many allies! I'll deal with you first, bald head, and then kill Tony! Go to hell!" Obadiah cursed.
With that, he raised his steel arm, preparing to fire the machine cannon at the Ancient One.
But before he could fire, the Ancient One raised his hand and struck Obadiah's armor.
In the next second, Obadiah's soul separated from his body and floated into the air.
"OMG!! Me???!!"
Obadiah was completely stunned.
No?! Was he dead?!
How could... he have ascended to heaven?!
"Who are you?! What's happening to me?!!" Obadiah asked in shock.
He had thought he would be invincible after acquiring the "Iron Monger."
He never expected to meet a god!
His soul had been extracted with a single strike?!
Obadiah was now in a panic. Only then did he realize how terrifying the bald man before him was.
"This is the Supreme Mage of Kamar-Taj," Mordu, who had been standing nearby, stepped forward to explain.
Supreme Mage?!
No way?!
Had he really encountered a genuine mage?!
"So how did I get here?!" Obadiah asked, frustrated and bewildered. He was truly confused.
Even Mordu didn't have a clear answer.
"You seem to have been teleported here. But who would teleport you to Kamar-Taj?!" Mordu murmured.
He seemed to be answering Obadiah but was more like talking to himself.
In his confusion, he looked at the Ancient One.
The Ancient One still had a neutral expression, as if he already knew the answer.
"It was Luo Bai," the Ancient One replied.
"Luo Bai?! That's the college student who followed Tony?! He's also a mage?!" Obadiah asked, surprise evident in his tone.
"Yes," the Ancient One nodded. "Although he hasn't undergone formal training, it seems he has indeed become a mage."
Obadiah fell silent.
He was still somewhat shocked.
No! Luo Bai seemed like just a regular college student, but he was also a mage?!
Certainly.
He wasn't the only one surprised; Mordu looked taken aback as well.
"Luo Bai?! I've never heard of the name you just mentioned, Supreme Mage," Mordu said curiously.
As Kamar-Taj's senior disciple and the Ancient One's first pupil, he was familiar with all the newly admitted mages.
After all, his main responsibility was training new mages. However, strangely, he had never heard of a mage named "Luo Bai" at Kamar-Taj.
The Ancient One soon provided the answer: "He was an exception; I didn't bring him back to Kamar-Taj but gave him a book to study on his own. I wanted to verify something."
When Mordu heard this, he was stunned.
"Supreme Mage, you mean... he learned magic by himself?!" Mordu asked in surprise.
The Ancient One nodded. "Yes, and it only took about a week."
What the hell?!
He taught himself teleportation magic in just about a week?!
This was... genius!
