Chapter 137 Lin Yu's Mystical Symbols
Upon hearing Gu Yi's words, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.

He knew that the comic book version of the Wolverine was very powerful, but he didn't know that it was so rare that there were only five in the entire Marvel multiverse!

Based on this, the magic wand that appeared in the movie must be a replica or a weaker version.

Otherwise, an artifact even rarer than the Infinity Stones would be far too overpowered...

After a moment's thought, Lin Yu suggested, "How about this, we each compromise. You lend me the Wotembo Wand, and then come with me to the next universe. That way, I can keep an eye on things all the time."

"...Are you sure this is a compromise between the two sides?"

Gu Yi said with a dark face, "Why do I feel like you took a step forward and I took a step back?"

Lin Yu sighed: "If that doesn't work, then lend me the wand to study for two days. I promise to stay in Kamar-Taj and never take it back to the other universe!"

Is it just a two-day study?
Gu Yi looked thoughtful, as if he was somewhat hesitant.

Lin Yu pressed his advantage, saying, "Don't worry, I won't lend it to you for nothing. You're giving your own disciple special training because you're worried that his strength is growing too slowly and he won't be able to inherit the Supreme Mage title in the future, right?"

"What a coincidence! I have a quick way to do this. Just ask, and I guarantee he'll be able to do it within a day..."

Gu Yi shook her head and interrupted with a smile, "That won't be necessary!"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and said strangely, "Not taking advantage of a good deal? That's not like you!"

Gu Yi remained unfazed, as if he hadn't understood Lin Yu's teasing, and said casually, "No, you misunderstood. What I meant was that I was giving Strange extra lessons not because his strength was increasing too slowly, but because his learning progress was too fast. His knowledge of magical theory had already surpassed that of most mages in Kamar-Taj, so I had to continue to guide him in the right direction!"

Lin Yu: "..."

He was careless. If he had known that the Ancient One was going to put on this act, he would never have brought up Strange!

Lin Yu sighed. He should have realized it sooner. The white-bearded Ancient One in this universe was a monster, and the disciple and successor he had chosen must also be a monster.

He might just be one of the most powerful Doctor Stranges in the future multiverse!

"But you really did remind me!"

Ancient One transmitted her voice with bright eyes: "Strange was indeed born for magic. He can understand all kinds of obscure and difficult knowledge and theories at a glance and master them after just one lesson."

"In just a few months, his knowledge base caught up with that of most of the mages in Kamar-Taj."

"But solid theoretical knowledge of magic still ultimately depends on magic power and energy to be used; otherwise, his amazing learning ability will be hampered by the accumulation of basic magic power."

"If you have a way to solve this problem, I'd like to lend you my wand to study it for a couple of days; it's not out of the question..."

Are you sure this is a discussion, and not in Versailles?
Lin Yu looked at him with disdain, thinking to himself that this old man was just trying to show off his disciple's talent!

But the allure of the Wolverine Wand was indeed immense. Lin Yu thought to himself, but on the surface he still confidently said, "Don't worry, the quick method I mentioned earlier refers to this!"

"……oh?"

Gu Yi raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, as if she understood Lin Yu's meaning.

"It seems you and I are thinking the same thing!"

"You think so too?"

Lin Yu said with interest, "How about this, we follow the old example and write our thoughts on our palms, then unfold them together and see if it's the same method, what do you say?"

"Right on my mind!"

Gu Yi readily agreed, and the two of them used their respective methods to shield each other's senses. Without the other being able to detect it, they wrote their thoughts on their palms, and then together removed the means of shielding their senses.

In an instant, the pattern on the palm of the Ancient One came into Lin Yu's view.

It was a strange rune composed of multiple semicircles, exuding an extremely dense dark aura. It was the mystical symbol representing Dormammu, the lord of the dark dimension, in the Book of Cagliostro!

Seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Yi's eyes lit up, and she stared intently at Lin Yu's palm.

Or rather, the mysterious symbol in the palm of your hand, outlined by dozens of silver lines, that resembles an intricate eye!

"This is the mystical symbol representing your dimension?"

"good."

Do you have a name?

"I haven't picked it up yet," Lin Yu said, shaking his head. "I only designed it recently."

That's absolutely true. He did design this symbol after coming to the Marvel Universe and coming into contact with occult knowledge.

Although it looks quite similar to the [Heart of the Familia] he created before, it is only similar.

In terms of details and structure, the two are quite different, and it is not as simple as just the difference between vertical and horizontal eyes.

In mystical terms, this eye is a mystical symbol that has truly gained His approval and represents the universe within Him!
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yi said, "Based on my understanding of occult symbols, the structure of this eye is quite mysterious and profound, while also possessing some characteristics of chaos."

"How about calling it the Eye of Chaos, the Eye of Overlooking, or the Pupil of Secrets?" As expected of the Supreme Mage, her naming skills are only slightly inferior to his!
Lin Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately said, "Great name, I'll take it!"

Gu Yi asked instinctively, "Which one?"

Lin Yu asked in surprise, "What do you mean, which one? Of course, we'll accept them all!"

...Should we accept everything?

Okay, as long as you are happy!
Ancient One's lips twitched, and he immediately said, "I'll send the Wolverine over right away. As for my apprentice..."

Lin Yu confidently declared, "Don't worry, let him borrow it. As long as I still have the wand, I'll allow him to draw power from it as he pleases!"

It means you can borrow the wand for as long as you want, and that's how much power you'll get.
Gu Yi did the math in her head and thought the deal was pretty good, so she readily agreed.

The next instant, an old man with a white beard and long robe emerged from behind the Ancient One, casually opened a golden spark portal, and stepped into the Sanctum Sanctum behind the portal.

Without a doubt, this is the Ancient One's clone magic!

He sent his clone to retrieve the Wand of Wortham, while the real one remained, smiling kindly at Strange:
Where were we?

"The essential differences between etheric bodies, astral bodies, mental bodies, and spiritual bodies..."

Strange accurately recounted the content of the lesson, then hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking, "Sorcerer Supreme, was the person you spoke with just now the distinguished guest who visited Kamar-Taj these past two days?"

Gu Yi smiled and nodded, saying, "Not bad."

Strange exclaimed in surprise, "Are all your friends mages of this caliber?"

"Of course!"

Ancient One smiled and said, "But don't be discouraged. With your talent, you'll reach this point sooner or later... Alright, we were just talking about the Book of Cagliostro, right?"

As he spoke matter-of-factly, he casually picked up the thick book that had been lying under the table, dusted it off, and laid it out in front of Strange.

The fluidity and naturalness of his movements left Strange completely bewildered.

"...Isn't this esoteric knowledge related to the soul?"

Strange hesitated before speaking.

"You're mistaken, it's the Book of Cagliostro!"

"But you just took it out..."

"Really? Why don't you try to remember again?"

The Ancient One looked at Strange with a kind expression, and a faint green light was already emanating from the front of her clothes.

Strange's expression hardened, and he immediately decided to stop dwelling on these trivial matters.

He doesn't care what he learns; as long as it's advanced magical knowledge, he'll accept it all!
Ancient One nodded in satisfaction, pointing to the magical ritual in the book, and said, "In short, drawing power from the Dark Dimension is indeed a shortcut, but it is far too dangerous for you."

"Listen to me, by slightly modifying this symbol that looks like a cockroach, we can connect to another great being."

"That person has a good relationship with my master and enjoys promoting younger generations; he'll definitely be willing to lend you his power..."

Just as the Ancient One was giving Strange his earnest advice, Lin Yu finally obtained the Wolverine.

But to his surprise, the wand was actually wrapped with nine layers of green ring magic circles!

Lin Yu immediately recognized the energy source of the magic circle: the Time Stone around the Ancient One's neck!
The old man was worried that Lin Yu would not be able to resist the temptation, so he used the Time Stone to threaten his disciple on the surface, but in reality, he was covering up for his clone so that the clone could use the power of the Time Stone to set a restriction on the wand.

...How despicable! Where is the trust between people?!
Lin Yu was indignant and protested, but Gu Yi refused, saying it wouldn't affect the casting of his abilities.

In fact, the Ancient One was right; the time restriction on the wand only ensured that it would not leave this universe.

As long as Lin Yu doesn't have any ulterior motives, this restriction is just for show, and there's really nothing to protest.

There was nothing Lin Yu could do; he was in the wrong to begin with, so he had no choice but to accept reality and instead began to study the magic wand with great interest.

This staff is about one foot long and made of unknown material. It has a relief of a demon's head at each end and possesses the powerful ability to absorb, enhance, focus, and redirect various mysterious energies.

These abilities are just the tip of the iceberg of the Wotembo Wand.

Its true power lies in its ability to open dimensional portals, link different dimensions, and enable cross-dimensional exploration and attacks. It can even allow users to freely travel between different dimensions, much like a dimensional gate.

Lin Yu borrowed this thing because he wanted to study the dimensional knowledge it contained.

With his aptitude for dimensional magic, he would surely gain a lot of knowledge by using his wand to unleash his abilities a few times. He might even be able to break through his bottleneck and enhance his control over the dimensional gate.

From this perspective, the Wotembo Wand is absolutely no less valuable than a library of knowledge to him!

Soon, Lin Yu became immersed in the wand's power. When someone contacted him, he didn't refuse at all, allowing Strange to draw energy from his inner universe...
