Instead, he simply influenced time with his own magic.
Although very slight, there was no doubt that Jiang Yu had influenced time with his own power.
This was something even a Sorcerer Supreme like her couldn't do.
While the Ancient One could unleash greater power than Jiang Yu, she couldn't manipulate time without relying on the Time Stone.
Even if it was just a slight influence, it wasn't something easily achieved.
Yet, Jiang Yu had done it.
"You… influenced time with your own power?"
Hearing the question, Jiang Yu nodded.
"I think so!"
Receiving an affirmative answer, the Ancient One was momentarily at a loss for words.
Jiang Yu's talent made the Ancient One feel a hint of envy, and at the same time, a hint of fear.
Such terrifying talent, if truly influenced by the Darkhold, would have unimaginable consequences.
Perhaps it was truly necessary for Jiang Yu to study the Book of the Vishanti, because only the power of the Book of the Vishanti could resist the Darkhold.
Chapter 9: A New Independent Skill
The Ancient One's expression was complex as she looked at Jiang Yu.
This disciple, whom she had personally taught, seemed even more outstanding than she had imagined.
But precisely because of this excellence, too much talent often brought a lot of trouble.
However, there was one thing the Ancient One could confirm for now:
Jiang Yu truly had no intention of killing her, or of taking the Eye of Agamotto for himself.
Otherwise, Jiang Yu, who had control over the Eye of Agamotto just now, wouldn't have used that power.
Instead, he chose to use his own power.
He didn't want to rely on external forces, did he?
Looking at Jiang Yu's hands, they were young, perfect, and flexible.
They could effortlessly cast any spell, performing various complex hand gestures.
But at the same time, they lacked one thing: a Sling Ring!
For all sorcerers, a Sling Ring was very important; it not only allowed them to easily open dimensional portals but also provided a certain degree of stability for magic.
However, Jiang Yu seemed to dislike Sling Rings.
So much so that he deliberately chose not to use them, even though it would make casting spells simpler.
If Jiang Yu knew this, he would probably cry foul.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but rather that casting spells without a Sling Ring gave him more proficiency.
"So!"
Jiang Yu looked at the Ancient One, who was deep in thought.
"Teacher, have you… put your trust in me now?"
"Temporarily!" the Ancient One nodded. "Just a little bit of trust, temporarily!"
Just temporarily?
But that's fine. Jiang Yu glanced at the Eye of Agamotto worn by the Ancient One. If he could get that thing.
He would definitely be able to use the Eye of Truth to control the power of time even more perfectly.
But that was clearly not possible now.
Because he was cultivating the Darkhold, his teacher was very wary of him.
And to even touch the Eye of Agamotto, one had to become the Sorcerer Supreme.
As for someone like Strange just casually stealing the Eye of Agamotto, that was utter nonsense.
If the Ancient One hadn't intentionally let him take it, could he have taken it?
"Can we go out now?"
"Of course!"
The Ancient One exhaled softly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu lightly clapped his hands, a relaxed smile on his face.
Then, he lightly drew a circle in the air.
A dimensional portal opened.
Jiang Yu made a gesturing motion, inviting her. Looking at Jiang Yu like this, he was still the same as when he first arrived at Kamar-Taj.
Back in the real world, inside the Ancient One's meditation room.
At this moment, Jiang Yu rubbed his hands together.
He looked at the Ancient One with anticipation.
"Teacher, when will you take me to find the Book of the Vishanti?"
The Ancient One was taken aback.
"Did I say I would take you?"
Seeing that Jiang Yu seemed to want to say something more, she quickly interjected, not daring to let him continue: "You go back first! Let me think about it!"
Think?
Alright!
"Okay!" Jiang Yu nodded, stepped back slightly, and a dimensional portal appeared directly behind him.
Seeing this, the Ancient One felt a headache. "You don't even want to take a few steps? Don't use magic indiscriminately in Kamar-Taj!"
"No way!" Jiang Yu looked helpless. "Teacher, I've already promised you I won't use dark magic. I can't even use a portal? And a portal doesn't have much impact, right?"
After speaking, Jiang Yu turned around and waved his hand.
The portal closed!
The Ancient One sighed. If Jiang Yu hadn't cultivated dark magic, perhaps he truly could have become the next Sorcerer Supreme. As for… Strange.
One could only say that Strange was indeed excellent, but sometimes he would mess up.
Back in his room, Jiang Yu instantly entered another dimension.
Layers of magical patterns emerged beneath his feet, directly creating an independent dimensional space.
However, this time, Jiang Yu wasn't performing any high-difficulty operations,
like folding dimensional space to prevent detection.
Because this time, he wasn't cultivating dark magic; he wanted to try out the time magic he had just mastered through the Eye of Agamotto.
Using the Mirror Dimension as a foundation, he constructed an independent dimensional space on top of it.
Here, whatever Jiang Yu did would not affect the real world.
The ground began to expand, and the small room instantly transformed into a vast plaza.
Jiang Yu sat cross-legged, and as magical power surged, his body gradually ascended into the air.
Closing his eyes, he recalled the magical runes that had emerged in his soul earlier, then raised his hand.
Instantly, green time energy flowed out.
You attempted to manipulate time magic. Time Power proficiency +1.
You… Reality Manipulation magic proficiency +3.
Hmm!
Jiang Yu frowned slightly and opened his panel.
Jiang Yu
Talents: Eye of Truth, Immaculate Body
Controlled Powers: Magic, Time Power
The levels of various magic schools hadn't changed, but Jiang Yu opened the Time Power panel.
Time Power: LV1
So, Time Power has become a new independent skill!
If he could continuously raise the level of Time Power, would he one day reach a level comparable to the Time Stone?
It's very possible!
Wanda's Chaos Magic, wasn't it able to achieve some of the same power as the Reality Stone?
His Time Power might not be an exception.
However, just thinking about it, he knew that raising the level of Time Power would likely be very difficult.
Time Power: LV1 (17/1,000,000)
One million!
Jiang Yu was speechless and rolled his eyes.
To advance to the second level, he needed a million proficiency points. If he compared it to his magic levels, it would probably be around level five.
Even then, he would only be able to unleash a portion of the Time Stone's power. To fully achieve what the Time Stone could do,
he estimated it would require around level seven or eight.
A long and arduous journey!
Fortunately, he could now draw power from the Dark Dimension, just like the Ancient One, ensuring he wouldn't age or die.
He could only slowly grind it out over time, he supposed!
Or, he could snatch the Time Stone and directly analyze its power through the Eye of Truth, which should greatly increase his proficiency.
But the consequences!
He would be hunted by all of Kamar-Taj, and if he truly fought the Ancient One, without holding anything back.
In the end, he would probably be crippled, and the Ancient One might also be half-dead.
But it would still be difficult to win against the Ancient One decisively!
"Forget it, if I really go too far, it won't be good!"
Cultivating the Darkhold was already the limit of what the Ancient One could tolerate; he shouldn't continue to provoke her.
Feeling the flow of Time Power,
Jiang Yu frowned slightly. "Then let's see what I can achieve!"
White light flashed in his eyes, augmented by the Eye of Truth.
Jiang Yu began to focus on cultivating time magic.
You attempted to manipulate time magic. Time Power proficiency +1.
Your control over time has increased your Reality Manipulation magic proficiency by 2.
Prompt after prompt sounded in his mind, but Jiang Yu paid no attention.
Instead, he was immersed in the wonderful sensation of time flowing.
New York!
The Avengers were still working on cleanup.
However, the Avengers were currently in a barbecue restaurant.
