Chapter 18 I, Tony, have never been inferior to anyone in my life.
Chapter 18 I, Tony, have never been inferior to anyone in my life.
The next day.
A psychological counseling room in Manhattan, New York, called "Yao's Home".
A silver-white Audi R8 was parked in front of the clinic.
"Russell, didn't you say you were going to take me to see that Sorcerer Supreme?"
Why is it a mental health clinic?
I do not need psychological treatment.
As Tony got out of the car, he couldn't help but complain.
Russell walked ahead, leading the way, without looking back:
"That's not the point. Doesn't Iron Man also serve as the chairman of Stark Industries?"
Upon arriving at the reception room, Russell found the door ajar and walked straight in.
“Master, this is Tony Stark.”
“Tony, this is the Ancient One.”
Russell introduced the two men, then sat down to drink tea and prepare to watch the play.
Hmm, the tea from the Ancient One's place is still the best.
It seems like some honey was added.
"Hello, Tony, please have a seat."
Gu Yi smiled and stood up, poured Tony a cup of tea, and gestured for Tony to sit down.
Tony took the tea, sat down, took a sip, and gave a thumbs-up: "Good tea."
Then, let's get straight to the point.
"You cured a girl named Eileen yesterday?"
A person infected with a vampire virus.
"That's it."
Tony then asked.
"You helped her get rid of the racial defect of vampires, which had no effect on her other bodily functions."
"Yes."
Tony's tone quickened.
How did you do that?
“She craved blood and feared sunlight... I told her she could overcome these, and she did.”
Tony was suspicious.
"You're not going to say that's psychotherapy, are you?"
"What if I told you that people can use their spiritual power to heal their bodies?"
"Then what should we do?"
Gu Yi opened a book, which contained an illustration of acupuncture points on the human body. She smiled and asked:
Do you like this picture?
“No.” Tony shook his head. “Ancient One, let’s be direct, okay?”
"Seeing is believing, Master. Why don't you let Tony experience it for himself?"
Russell suddenly interrupted.
What he wanted to see was Tony making disrespectful remarks and questioning the Ancient One.
Then, Gu Yi struck him with a palm, knocking his soul out.
Instead of a friendly discussion between the two.
“Okay.” Tony was eager to try it out. “I’d love to experience magic for myself.”
The Ancient One and Russell laughed simultaneously.
"boom!"
The next second, Gu Yi placed a palm print on Tony's chest.
Nothing happened, despite Russell's expectant gaze.
"Ok?"
"boom!"
Another palm strike landed on Tony's shoulder, and Tony's soul flew out.
"Sorry, I forgot about the arc reactor on your chest."
A moment later, Tony's soul returned to his body.
"There really is a soul," Tony murmured to himself. "It's amazing."
"Want to see something even more amazing?" Gu Yi said with a smile.
"Um?!"
The next instant, Tony flew out and vanished into thin air.
"Russell, you should give it a try too."
"No, please, France..."
Before he could finish speaking, a yellow flame suddenly flashed beneath Russell's feet, and a halo appeared.
Russell rose and dodged just before the yellow flames appeared.
Perceptual abilities are triggered, allowing one to foresee the future.
Russell chuckled awkwardly, "Master, let's talk this out. There's no need to resort to violence."
"Russell, it seems I underestimated you."
Gu Yi was somewhat surprised.
"However, there are some things that you might benefit from looking at."
The next instant, the mirrored space enveloped the entire reception room.
The entire mirror space vanished from the spot.
This time, Russell didn't dodge.
In the future he envisioned,
Wherever he goes, the mirror space extends there.
Just like Sun Wukong and Buddha.
A bizarre and fantastical world unfolds in the eyes of Russell and Tony.
"The material universe is not everything."
At the source of reality, the spiritual and the material are connected.
This universe is just one of countless universes.
Take a good look; this is the real universe.
The voice of the Ancient One rang in their ears, answering their questions.
After an unknown amount of time, I returned to the reception room.
This is Russell's second time traversing the multiverse.
The first time was when he traveled through time; at that time, he was still an ordinary person and couldn't see anything clearly.
The second time is now, and he has seen even more.
More dimensions of demons and energy dimensions.
Isn't this a moving attribute point?
"Want to learn?" Gu Yi's calm voice rang out.
“Master, teach me.” x2.
"Okay, I'll teach you. Follow me."
With that, the Ancient One opened a portal, leading directly to Kamar-Taj.
"By the way, this is a hanging ring."
Skilled use of the slingshot can open portals, allowing you to travel to any place you wish.
It can even travel through the multiverse.
After handing the two rings to the two, Ancient One continued:
“You are different from other mages; you don’t have to stay in Kamar-Taj all the time.”
Once you've learned how to use the slingshot, you can go back.
Just set aside some time each day to study here.
"Thank you, Master." The two said in unison.
Ancient One put on the suspension ring and personally demonstrated for the two of them:
"Focus your attention and visualize the place you are going to."
As he spoke, he drew a circle with two fingers together.
Where the fingertips passed, flames appeared.
It then spread rapidly, forming a portal.
Opposite the door was the reception room where everyone had come from.
“That sounds pretty simple,” Tony laughed.
He then put on the ring and imitated the Ancient One's movements in a very convincing manner.
One lap, two laps, three laps...
Occasionally, a tiny spark would appear.
Russell shook his head and smiled: "It's quite simple."
With that, Russell put on the hanging ring.
Through the sling ring, Russell 'saw' the faint, special magical power permeating the surrounding space.
Mental energy surged towards the ring on his finger, then connected with special magical power.
Perception extends infinitely outward in an instant.
At the same time, a pressure is exerting on one's mental state.
This method of perception lacks precision, but its range is greatly expanded.
Soon, Russell took the entire Earth into his mind.
"Russell, what are you standing there for? Have you forgotten how to move?"
Seeing that Russell hadn't moved for a long time, Tony spoke up sarcastically.
"Would you like me to teach you?"
Swish swish!
The voice just fell.
One portal after another appeared around Russell.
Portals lead to all parts of the world.
The closest one is in the yard.
The farthest reaches extend beyond the solar system.
"Master," Tony stared blankly at the scene, "wasn't he supposed to be drawing circles?"
The Ancient One looked at Russell and became more and more satisfied.
But let's comfort Tony first:
"Drawing circles is just an aid; mental strength and proficiency are the key."
Tony, don't be discouraged, you have great talent too.
However, Russell himself was an extremely powerful superhuman.
His mental strength is far greater than yours.
But as long as one practices cultivation...
Your mental strength will also continue to grow stronger.
Tony glanced at Russell enviously: "Just like Russell?"
Gu Yi remained silent.
Given Russell's talent, it's almost impossible for anyone to surpass him in pure numerical terms.
"For a mage, mental strength is certainly important."
But wisdom, knowledge, insight, and creativity are equally important.
These are your strengths, Tony.
After comforting Tony, the Ancient One gave Russell some more instructions:
"Concentrate your mind instead of letting it wander aimlessly."
That way you can see further.
