Chapter 262: Power Bank and 'Grab Root Treasure'
🕑 Added 2025-07-25 01:43:25 +0000 UTC"Fury, you need to trouble me with this kind of thing? What a joke. Don't you know I'm very busy?"
Sitting in the temple in London, Noah looked at the man with a beard, an eye mask, and a shaved head on his phone, his face full of annoyance.
This man was Fury. Now, he was essentially the same as Noah remembered, but he couldn't stand up to Noah at all.
Time had unknowingly reached a critical point. Over the next few years, Noah suspected that the world wouldn’t remain as harmonious as before.
A year ago, after Noah completely mastered his new transformation magic, he also encountered some issues.
The main problem was how to eliminate the will in the high-dimensional dark power. To be honest, Noah knew nothing about this.
But Noah had a system, and so he handed over the plan provided by the system to Master Gu Yi, considering it as good as done.
It was an interesting situation, because the method suggested by the system wasn’t difficult at all.
Simply put, it involved using the soul magic that Noah and others had already mastered, along with special techniques, to completely and effectively remove these wills.
Noah himself was confused when he first heard the operation, but he had to pretend that he had already figured it out.
Fortunately, Ancient One immediately understood after hearing part of Noah's explanation, and her eyes began to shine brighter as she thought it over.
The method wasn’t difficult, but the challenge lay in the fact that few people would have thought of it this way.
Although Ancient One was a top magician, it didn’t mean she was omniscient. After hearing Noah’s explanation, she instantly realized that she could do it!
Ancient One was delighted to have the solution, though she did scold Noah for not telling her about this method earlier.
Noah could only helplessly accept this, knowing that he couldn't admit he knew nothing before and that it was all the system's work.
"Teacher, I’ve been trying this myself for a while. Though it worked, it wasn’t my main focus. My main focus was still on this new transformation magic."
"Is that so?"
Ancient One nodded silently after listening to Noah. She had been keeping track of his progress over the years.
What Ancient One didn’t expect was that this young man had helped solve yet another major problem without realizing it.
Noah neither denied nor boasted about Master Gu Yi's praise. After all, he and the system were one, but this particular issue had nothing to do with Noah himself.
Of course, the exposure of this achievement did bring Noah some benefits—specifically, the opportunity to obtain more high-dimensional dark power!
"Although my other body is merged with my current form, the level of that body is now far ahead of mine. Since it’s shaped by dark power, if it continues to use this power, that body should experience better development."
Noah’s request wasn’t rejected by Master Gu Yi. She had no issue with the idea, especially since Noah had figured out a method to eliminate the will from the powers.
However, Ancient One made it clear that she would first try to eliminate these powers herself before handing them over to Noah.
Noah’s strength was comparable to his original self, and it had taken him considerable effort to overcome the will’s influence. Even though Noah’s method was very successful, his strength wasn’t enough to handle these powers. Therefore, Ancient One planned to tackle it herself.
On the one hand, it would serve as practice for her; on the other, it would allow her to check the effectiveness of the solution.
If she could completely solve these powers, it would open up possibilities for their more widespread use!
While Dormammu might be terrifying, he had crossed so many dimensions to cause chaos. As long as Noah was here, it wouldn't be a problem.
And with the help of these "clean" powers, even more powerful magicians could be forged! At that point, if Dormammu wanted to cause trouble again, he might find himself thwarted—especially if Noah wasn’t around.
Noah didn’t fully understand Master Gu Yi’s idea of using Dormammu as a "power bank," but even if he did, he would likely agree with her.
Noah wasn’t sure about other worlds, but from what he’d learned from the system and Master Gu Yi, this kind of power was abundant in the dark dimension of this world—there was no shortage of it.
Rather than wasting it to pollute the environment, it would be better to put it to more meaningful use.
Aside from this matter, Noah raised another topic: the assessment plan for magicians and wizards.
Ancient One was always very interested in Noah’s opinions, but this time, she didn’t listen to him attentively. Instead, she asked Noah to write the plan for her, and Noah had no reason to refuse.
After settling these matters, Noah’s life returned to peace. He had never been so idle in a long time.
It had taken him seven years—from when he first conceived the idea and began researching it during the millennium—to finally succeed.
Noah couldn't exactly say his life had been bad during these seven years, but it certainly hadn't been easy.
After resolving this issue, Noah was shocked to find that, aside from the daily task of guarding the temple, he now had a lot of free time.
So, Noah chose to relax. After finishing his work, he would travel with Ms. Heifen, Wong, Dennis, and Jason—a guy who knew everything about the world.
Kamar-Taj’s magic was incredibly convenient. They could go anywhere they wanted. The only consideration was whether the time was right.
As for passports and the like, even if Noah didn’t help, Jason could take care of it. And if Jason couldn’t, he could always ask Fury for help.
It was amusing that Fury couldn’t log into WeChat because he didn’t have a Gulin Pavilion account. In the end, he had no choice but to ask Noah for help. This allowed him to get a clearer view of the magical world hidden under the surface and see how these people lived.
It might have been better if he hadn’t seen it at all. As soon as Fury saw it, his scalp tingled.
For example, a magician in the United States sent a message, and Fury, who was in the U.S., could easily search for it. He saw that the magician had found a mammoth cub.
Or magicians elsewhere killed werewolves or vampires.
What terrified him more was noticing that Noah had published a paper on the evolution of 'Animagus' and displayed piles of dragon corpses, making Fury too afraid to even comment.
God knows which fool decided these magicians were a threat to Earth when, in fact, they were a threat to their own interests. This led to an unprecedented conflict.
Just thinking about it made Fury shiver all over.
If it really happened, the world might become a true magical world.
Fury spent his days staring at his computer or phone, reading information about magicians across the world. But Noah was too preoccupied to care.
Fury couldn’t say anything, nor could he expose it, so Noah didn’t worry too much. However, Noah’s “relaxation” annoyed Master Gu Yi.
"So, you went to Asgard to get this?" One day, as Noah received Master Gu Yi’s inspection of the temple, he stared at the book in his hands in disbelief.
"Yes, Noah," Ancient One said gently. "The road of magic is long. Although you’re a genius I’ve never seen before, you can’t afford to slack off too much. Didn’t you say the physical training there had no effect on you? I got it for you to satisfy your wish, didn’t I?"
Master Gu Yi’s voice carried a lesson, even though it was said gently.
Noah looked at the book in his hands, a bit dejected, but still honestly admitted to Ancient One that he was wrong and promised to do better.
To be honest, after his transformation, Noah’s physical fitness had reached an incredible level. Though he couldn’t display it in human form, he still benefited from it.
Now, what he needed to do was replenish his magic power until he could trigger the full potential of his ninth-level body in human form, then he would consider himself successful.
Because Noah had accidentally made a big promise, in order to avoid mistakes, his system not only set the time ratio to nine times but also added a new project to the system space.
This new project was a combat simulation, similar to the Room of Requirement, where opponents were summoned.
These summoned opponents were analyzed and simulated by the system, so their strength was guaranteed to be formidable, and they wouldn’t show mercy!
The only advantage was that, no matter how Noah struggled in the system space, he wouldn’t accidentally die.
With these benefits, Noah naturally felt inclined to be lazy.
But now, Noah thought it best to follow Master Gu Yi’s advice. The road of magic was long.
Although Noah felt he was always being led astray and developing into a melee mage, he couldn’t be bothered to think about it too much.
"By the way, Dumbledore submitted your paper on the new transformation magic to me. You should give this magic a name."
Ancient One noticed Noah had too many things on his mind and didn’t press further on the previous topic.
"A new name?" Noah, feeling like a terrible namer, hesitated. "How about... Dragonborn?"
Ancient One shook her head, feeling she’d asked an unnecessary question. "By the way, since you’re already level seven, you should take the magician exam. You haven’t taken it yet."
"Don’t worry, it’s next September, right? I’ll take it." Noah nodded seriously.
The magician and wizard exams were essentially recognition tests for intermediate and high-level magicians, aimed at assessing their knowledge and professionalism.
The most important part of the exams was the will assessment.
Only by passing all three exams and meeting the magic power criteria could one be awarded the title of magician.
It was like a diploma—there was a big difference between having it and not. Both might be level six magicians, but one with the title of wizard would have the advantage when applying for jobs.
Noah studied hard to pass the exam he had created for himself.
So when Fury called him, Noah naturally didn’t have the best temper.
"Sorry, Noah. I don’t want to bother you," Fury sounded embarrassed. "But we’re all struggling with this. Don’t you still need the AI system? Isn’t now a good time?"
"You’re really annoying. I need to review for my exam," Noah grumbled.
"Oh my god, Noah, do you still need to review? You’re the pride of Ravenclaw! This won’t take much time for you. Can you do me a favor?"
"Okay, okay, have someone pick me up in London. I’m not interested in going to your place."
"Of course, see you later!"
