Marvel’s God-level pupil technique Chapter 052

In the library of Kamar-Taj, a young man dressed in simple clothes was engrossed in an ancient book.

The young man appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, an age that should have been lively and energetic, but he seemed remarkably composed, perhaps due to his constant immersion in books.

This was Xiazou, and several years had passed since Mordo’s last attempt to lure Kaecilius into disrupting the library. Xiazou was now twelve years old, though he seemed to have grown a bit faster than average.

After Mordo’s capture, Ancient One truly kept her promise, opening her private collection for Xiazou to study. It was then that Xiazou realized just how vast Ancient One’s true private collection was.

Originally, Xiazou thought Ancient One’s private collection was merely the section of books in the library chained off, but when Ancient One opened her private collection to Xiazou, he realized he was wrong. Ancient One’s private collection far exceeded his imagination, and the forbidden books chained in the library were only a tiny fraction of it.

This was natural. Ancient One had lived for many years, witnessed many things, and her life was a vast history of magic. Thus, her collection was also immense, even larger than the entire collection of the Kamar-Taj library.

One could say that Ancient One alone surpassed the entire library. However, this was not a bad thing for Xiazou, as he inherently needed a vast amount of magical knowledge. But it was also for this reason that Xiazou’s study time this time far exceeded his previous time in the library, taking several years to fully digest Ancient One’s private collection.

“Sorcerer Xiazou, the Sorcerer Supreme has returned. She requests your presence.”

At this moment, a monk approached Xiazou, bowing respectfully as he spoke. Since Xiazou demonstrated his power last time, the attitude of all the sorcerers in Kamar-Taj towards him had subtly changed. They even addressed Xiazou as “Sorcerer.”

“I understand.”

Xiazou nodded, closed his book, and slowly left the library.

A moment later, Xiazou arrived at a grand hall. As he stepped inside, Xiazou saw Ancient One already waiting there.

“Long time no see, Ancient One.”

Xiazou smiled, looking at Ancient One as he spoke. In these past few years, Ancient One had not spent much time at Kamar-Taj, as she dedicated most of her time to monitoring developments in other worlds, only returning to Kamar-Taj a few days ago.

From this perspective, Ancient One was a very dedicated Sorcerer Supreme, diligently protecting this world.

“Xiazou, it’s been several years since we last met. How has your magic progressed?”

Ancient One brewed a pot of fragrant tea and handed a cup to Xiazou. The first question she asked upon seeing Xiazou concerned his magical progress.

“Everything that needs to be mastered has been mastered.”

Xiazou chuckled softly, speaking slowly. In these past few years, Xiazou’s magical attainments had grown at an extremely rapid pace. Even though he hadn’t demonstrated it again, his magical prowess had reached a profound level, making him a true great sorcerer. It was likely that within all of Kamar-Taj, besides Ancient One, no one else could contend with Xiazou.

“Then, have you found any books that contain magic suitable for you?” Ancient One looked at Xiazou, slowly asking.

Although Ancient One cared about Xiazou’s situation, she wouldn’t usually be so eager to know. However, before leaving Kamar-Taj, she had opened her private collection to Xiazou, and it contained many forbidden magical texts. She was concerned Xiazou might go astray, which was why she was so anxious.

Xiazou’s eyes flickered, instantly understanding the true meaning behind Ancient One’s words, and he couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

“Ancient One, you don’t need to worry. I’m interested in magical knowledge, but that doesn’t mean I’ll dabble in darkness.”

Xiazou immediately revealed the meaning behind Ancient One’s words, which made Ancient One a bit embarrassed. However, after understanding Xiazou’s resolve, Ancient One felt some relief. After all, being able to maintain clarity after being tempted by so much forbidden knowledge showed that Xiazou was truly cut out to be a sorcerer.

“By the way, Ancient One, there’s something I want to tell you.” Xiazou suddenly became serious as he spoke to Ancient One.

“Tell me,” Ancient One gestured for Xiazou to speak.

“I’ve been at Kamar-Taj for many years now. Counting the time, it’s about time I left Kamar-Taj.” Xiazou suddenly said, dropping a piece of news that stunned Ancient One.

He had stayed at Kamar-Taj for so long, and he had learned almost all the magic there. So, continuing to stay at Kamar-Taj would only be a waste of time. It was time for him to leave.

“It’s been that many years? Time flies!”

Ancient One was slightly stunned and couldn’t help but sigh. Her life was very long, so these few years seemed like an instant to her, hence the illusion that time was flying.

In truth, Xiazou had been at Kamar-Taj for many years. When he first arrived, he was about six or seven years old. By the time the Mordo incident was resolved, he was over seven, almost eight. Another three or four years had passed since then, and he was now twelve years old.

In the blink of an eye, Xiazou had spent so many years at Kamar-Taj, and it was indeed time for him to depart.
