Name: Ancient One
Rank: S-Rank
Reputation: 14 (Unknown)
Unlock Reward: Initial Reward (Claimable)
Fang Yuan's anger flared, feeling incredulous.
Such a powerful Sorcerer Supreme, and you say she's unknown?
Not only on Earth, but even in other dimensions and other Planets in the Universe, there are Kamar-Taj sorcerers. There's no way the Ancient One's reputation is only 14.
All Heavens Vought Company still answered every question.
The Company panel currently only calculates an employee's reputation among Earthlings.
Fang Yuan understood. The Sorcerer Supreme's reputation was mostly in the mystical and interdimensional realms. Among Earthlings, she was indeed unknown.
But… currently?
Does that mean it's possible later?
Fang Yuan's question was quickly answered.
Unlock milestones to receive related rewards.
However, the Company panel didn't specify what milestones.
Fang Yuan quickly accepted reality. Signing an S-Rank individual was already good; he wasn't greedy.
The next moment, a flood of ideas to help the Ancient One increase her fame popped into Fang Yuan's mind.
But these would have to wait until he came back next time.
Still, it was an S-Rank, and even if it was just an initial reward, the reward unlocked by the Ancient One was quite good.
Initial Reward: magic Talent +100%.
The Ancient One's signing doubled Fang Yuan's magic talent.
Of course, how much it actually increased still depended on Fang Yuan's original talent. If he had the innate talent of Doctor Strange, Fang Yuan would take off immediately.
If he was a muggle, he could at least be a super-sized muggle.
You will need to leave this Universe by March 1945 at the latest. At that time, I will cast a spell that transcends the timeline for you.
The Ancient One added, The earliest will be September this year, because I need time to prepare.
Fang Yuan waved his hand, No rush, I'm planning to learn some magic first.
After hooking up with the Ancient One, Fang Yuan immediately felt that running a company or a Gang in the Marvel Universe was nowhere near as appealing as playing with magic.
He had already promised the Ancient One that he would leave in over a year, so there was no point in making too many arrangements now.
Besides, he did so much in the X-Men World because he was starting from scratch back then. Now that he had a bunch of superpowers, even if he came back decades later, Fang Yuan could easily get Vought Corporation back on its feet.
But opportunities to learn magic were limited. If he didn't learn now, Fang Yuan estimated he wouldn't have this much time the next time he came.
So the Ancient One raised her hand and drew a circle, and a portal shimmering with orange Fire sparks appeared.
On the other side was Kamar-Taj.
Fang Yuan couldn't help but compare the advantages and disadvantages of the spark-ring portal and Red Devil's teleportation. The spark-ring portal excelled in duration; once opened, it could last for a long time, making it extremely suitable for large-scale operations, material transfers, and so on.
Red Devil's teleportation, on the other hand, was fast. It could be cast without a wind-up and didn't require a Sling Ring. After all, even someone as powerful as Doctor Strange couldn't leave a Mirror Dimension he had opened without a Sling Ring…
Spider-Man: No Way Home simultaneously lowered the value of "with great power comes great responsibility" and the Sorcerer Supreme.
Thump thump thump.
Just then, a little boy under two years old rushed towards the Ancient One, opening his arms and babbling, wanting to be held.
Hamil, don't be so rude! The little boy's parents quickly pulled him back and apologized to the Ancient One.
Fang Yuan's eyes moved, Hamil?
He proactively picked up Hamil, making the child giggle with delight.
This little boy was quite significant. He was the father of the next-next Sorcerer Supreme, and the one the Ancient One brought out to demonstrate that magic could be cast even with one hand missing, when Doctor Strange was struggling in his early magic studies and making excuses.
Seeing Hamil so small, with no problems with his hands, Fang Yuan realized he had indeed come very early.
The plots he was familiar with were decades away. Skipping seventy years was not bad; by then, Fang Yuan would have access to more advanced technology, which he could also use in the X-Men World.
Fang Yuan's magic was also taught by the Ancient One herself.
magic originates from incantations. Incantations are like a dictionary, and magic is the article sorcerers compose using that dictionary.
In the quiet room, the Ancient One explained the mysteries of magic to Fang Yuan.
But I must warn you, sorcerers need energy to use incantations, and our energy is all drawn from other spaces in the Multiverse.
If you go to another Universe and have no energy, you won't be able to cast magic.
Fang Yuan nodded, indicating he understood. He knew that Marvel's sorcerers didn't produce magic themselves; their magic was mostly drawn from other spaces, or borrowed from certain mystical beings or powerful entities.
Drawing from other spaces was fine, but if it was borrowed, the sorcerer would have to bear the corresponding cost after casting the spell.
But none of these were problems for Fang Yuan.
Energy?
Impact was a type of energy, and very destructive. If Fang Yuan could learn to control and release the Impact, it could also serve as casting energy.
And he also had Black King's ability to absorb energy. If he wanted to cast magic, couldn't he just generate a lightning bolt for energy?
If he needed more magic, he could make a missile.
Of course, this didn't mean Fang Yuan wouldn't value the techniques for drawing magic. On the contrary, he valued them greatly.
After all, this could also feed back into Shaw's abilities.
Then the Ancient One began teaching Fang Yuan how to sense magic and the simplest incantations.
Fang Yuan had originally thought that with his 100% increased magic talent, he would be a small genius. He didn't expect that, according to the Ancient One, he was only slightly better than the average sorcerer at Kamar-Taj.
This was a big blow to Fang Yuan, but his good quality was that he could accept his ordinariness without internal struggle.
Aside from a few people who entered Kamar-Taj by chance, the other sorcerers were like Hamil, those who were nurtured from a young age and showed outstanding talent were sent here to learn magic.
They were already carefully selected, so Fang Yuan being able to keep up with their progress was already pretty good.
After five days at Kamar-Taj, Fang Yuan temporarily stopped his studies.
Because the next big moment for Captain America was coming up, and he couldn't miss it.
Under the horrified gaze of the apprentices nearby, Fang Yuan complained about the Sorcerer Supreme's lack of service, only providing pickup but no drop-off, then directly used teleportation to leave Kamar-Taj.
In a military camp five kilometers from the front line on the European battlefield.
Steve was organizing his equipment.
During this time, Steve had been widely welcomed in the United States, which made him believe he had indeed made a great contribution.
But after arriving at the front line, he realized he was wrong.
He met Colonel Phillips and the soldiers he had trained with earlier in the camp. Without exception, they did not welcome Steve, even calling him a dancing Joker.
Steve suddenly remembered that what he originally wanted was to go to the battlefield; hiding in the rear was not his intention.
Coincidentally, Steve learned from Agent Carter that a group of soldiers had been captured, but because the location of their confinement was deep in enemy territory, the rescue cost was too high, so Colonel Phillips had tacitly given up.
Things like sacrificing six lives to save one soldier's life were just for show.
And Colonel Phillips also told Steve that Bucky had most likely been sacrificed.
So Steve could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. He immediately decided to go and rescue the remaining captured soldiers!
Agent Carter and Howard, who were in the same military camp, also rushed over to help him.
And at this moment, Fang Yuan also arrived.
