The era of American comics begins

Chapter 139 Studying Secret Techniques ([-]rd)
Victor von Doom took a deep breath, and sealed his hands, the light green mana swam along his arms, and finally condensed into a short sword with swaying light in his right hand.

Wanda Maximoff stood five steps away in front of him, clasped his palms together, slowly opened his palms, and the crimson light between his palms was connected like a bridge.Her gestures changed, and the light also changed accordingly, and finally formed a shape similar to a soft whip, which was pinched in both hands by her two ends.

This is a specially-made room for training and sparring. It is made of extremely strong Kerry alloy, which can withstand most impacts.Michael stood at one side of the room with his arms folded, while Pietro and Gwen watched from the raised platform through protective glass.

Doom took the lead.He stepped forward slantingly, and the dagger turned into a green light and slashed towards Wanda's side face.Wanda bowed her head and flicked her wrist. The head of the crimson soft whip was raised, and the magic power of chaos was attached to the whip and stimulated.

Since joining Tianjian, Michael has taught Doom to learn secret arts personally, and he insists on studying various ancient literature and classics related to spells every day.Dum's talent is already so high that it can be said to be a monster level. Coupled with his long-term painstaking research, his progress in magic can be described as rapid progress, and the progress is enough to surprise most of Kama Taj's secret masters.

But the Scarlet Witch he was facing at the moment was not a vegetarian either.Even though Wanda doesn't have the spirit of serious research like Doom, and her talent and understanding are not as amazing as Doom, but she can't stand her own superpower to control chaos magic, and her mana is almost endless. Michael can only bow down.

The two of them wielded the sword and the whip, at first the ten strokes could be regarded as going back and forth.The magic power and sword energy aroused by the magic sword blade and the chaotic magic power from the soft whip continued to clash, as if there were gusts of howling wind stirring in a closed space.The aftermath of the two people's magic power flew around, Michael stood aside with his arms folded, the corners of his windbreaker kept being lifted by the aftermath, but he remained calm and motionless.

But after a while, the skills of the two clearly differentiated.Dum's short sword swing gradually became sluggish over time, and in a short while he had no time to attack and counterattack, and could only be forced to swing his sword to defend.Wanda swam around like a crimson spirit snake with a soft whip, keenly searching for every opening that could be attacked.

Dum gradually couldn't bear it anymore.He gritted his teeth, tried his best to deal with it, and at the same time managed to take the time to form a seal, and a simple shield conjured up on his free left hand.Between his sword and shield, he finally managed to hold back Wanda's fierce attack, and managed to free his hand to fight back.

But Wanda's soft whip was too powerful. Even with the shield to share the pressure, Doom was still forced to stay two meters away by the overwhelming magic power of chaos.

After fighting for about three minutes, Dum obviously became more irritable.Seeing that he couldn't find a breakthrough for a long time, he simply took the risk and thrust his sword towards the magic vortex swung by the soft whip.He lifted the shield to withstand the pressure from the whip as much as possible, and the short sword stabbed straight at Wanda's exquisite and slightly raised nose.

Wanda didn't panic at all. With a flick of her wrist, the magic whip bounced as if spiritually, and it slapped on the sword that Doom stabbed, and quickly wrapped it around.With a lift of her arm, the soft whip wrapped around Doom's dagger and flew out of her hand.

This time Dum was obviously defeated, but he was still not reconciled, so he picked up the magic shield and smashed it.Wanda flicked her wrist calmly again, and the soft whip hit Dum's shield-holding wrist precisely.The chaotic magic power carried by the whip penetrated into the body, cutting off the transmission of the magic power immediately, and the shield in Doom's hand disappeared without a source.Wanda followed up with a blow from the air with her left hand, and the crimson mana was released, knocking Dum who was rushing forward to the ground.

The battle is over.Wanda stepped forward and stretched out her hand friendly to pull him up.Doom slapped it away rudely, and got up by himself.

Wanda seemed to be used to his attitude, and didn't mind, she tilted her head and stepped aside.

"Wanda, you played well. Overall, you have made great progress. Some details could have been handled better, but we can talk about the details next time." Michael gestured behind him, "Go and rest first."

Wanda nodded and went straight out.He and Doom were alone in the room.

"It's not working." Doom shook his head. "I'm not progressing fast enough. Far enough."

"Wanda was already a powerful mage before joining Tianjian, and I didn't expect you to beat her." Michael said, "I let you practice against each other, but I hope you can fight against different mages. The process of fighting her itself is improved by absorbing experience."

"But I just can't progress fast enough." Doom said stubbornly, "I can't go on like this. I need to learn those really powerful spells, like the ones you use against Mephisto."

"It's not yet time, Victor." Michael said lightly, "I told you a long time ago that the secret art is not something that can be achieved overnight, even if you are talented, you must take it step by step."

"How long will it take me to save my mother if this continues?"

"You are too impatient, and it is this impetuous mentality that hinders your progress. Think about your previous experiences in this life, think about how long you have waited and how much you have paid to save your mother. What you have learned Is it possible that these things can be achieved overnight?"

Dum's expression darkened.

Of course he understands these principles. In fact, even before he came to Tianjian, he was not completely ignorant of magic. Of course, it is impossible for him not to know that magic is a knowledge that needs to be developed step by step.

But it may be that he was stimulated by powerful mages like Michael and Wanda, which made him realize his weakness like never before, and his desire to become stronger like never before.It was this kind of emotion that made him eager for quick success, and he was always unable to be satisfied with the progress he had made.

"I know. I've just been a little distracted lately."

Michael patted him on the shoulder.

"Your talent in magic is also one of the best in ten thousand, and you will naturally improve if you calm down." He paused, and then said, "Your foundation is indeed almost there, and you can indeed start to teach you more advanced skills after a while." Content. But I have a lot of things to deal with recently, so this will have to wait a few days."

"I see."

Michael walked towards the exit and said before leaving, "Also, I can give you a few days off to relieve a little pressure—if you want."

Dum shrugged: "No need. You know me—it's a vacation for me to spend three or five days in the laboratory studying that bunch of alien stuff."
