Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 131 Future Logan

Gwen stretched out her hand curiously, and Du Mu handed her a small copper bell.

Gwen held the bell curiously, but there didn't seem to be any beads inside the bell to produce sound, so it didn't make any sound when she shook it in her hand.

The reason why it is called a bell even though there is no sound is because there is a thin crack in the middle of the copper ball, just like an ordinary bell. You can see that there seems to be something inside, but it does not shake randomly.

Du Mu said to Gwen, "Recall my appearance and voice in your mind, and then try injecting your true energy into it."

Gwen didn't understand why, but she had some talent in mobilizing true energy. After last night's battle, she grew very quickly and was able to mobilize her true energy very easily and inject it into the little thing Du Mu gave her.

But when the bell stopped ringing at first, Gwen remembered the other condition Du Mu had mentioned. She closed her eyes and recalled Du Mu's face.

This is very simple, after all, Peter's master was looking at him before he closed his eyes.

The next moment, Gwen felt something in her hand begin to heat up, and then she felt... her true energy came into contact with a surge of power!

This feeling is a little hard to describe, but if the true qi is likened to a hand, then this energy is the sword held in the hand.

Although it is not a part of the body, it can still be driven!

"This is magic power. You can use it as out-of-body true energy, but be careful not to take it into your body, or it will hurt your meridians."

Du Mu reminded from the side.

He felt the steady flow of magic power, with no sign of losing control, and nodded. It seemed that she was able to control the magic power that she had stored in the copper bell.

Inside this copper bell, there is a part that is similar to the prismatic stone that Du Mu had made before, and it contains a circuit that allows mental power to emit special signals.

But unlike the prismatic stone, it also contains some of Du Mu’s magical power.

This time, Du Mu did not transmit the magic power to Gwen through the mental signal, because the bell already had it. Du Mu separated them from his own magic power and tried to make them exist independently and stably.

At that time, he saw that Hulk's magic power... bah, guardian angel, could actually escape from Banner's control. It was not until Hulk dispersed the guardian angel that the magic power returned to Banner's body.

So Du Mu wondered if he could also split a part of his magic power, just like Banner condensed the body of a guardian angel for Hulk, and give it to people outside his sensing range.

After all, Du Mu can travel to different worlds, and his disciples in any world may be in danger in an emergency.

This kind of item, which can provide a certain degree of protection to others when Du Mu is not around, is exactly what he needs right now.

Gwen felt the power that her Qi could mobilize and felt a little overwhelmed.

Although Du Mu said that they could be used as true qi, the problem was that Gwen had only learned how to use true qi to fight yesterday, and she couldn't release any true qi out of her body, so she had no idea how to use magic power.

But she was too embarrassed to ask such a question which might be common sense, so she tried to drive the magic power out of the copper bell first.

Then, a cloud of light pink smoke was seen slowly floating in the air.

Gwen's mouth dropped open slightly in surprise.

Is this magic power?
Very pink color...

Because I'm a girl, give me pink energy? Is this too stereotypical?

Du Mu didn't know that Gwen was actually thinking about this. Ever since he obtained the high-temperature mana refined by Red Hulk, his mana was indeed tinged with a layer of red.

Under Du Mu's control, his magic power is like a ruby ​​when it is hard, like a flame when it is amorphous, and has a high temperature under normal conditions.

In order to prevent the mana from hurting novice users, Du Mu specially cooled the mana stored in the copper bell, which made the red color fade and turn into pink...

Gwen didn't dare to ask, she began to try to control the magic power.

Since she had no relevant experience, the first method she thought of was... to use her imagination to condense the magic power into a huge fist.

Du Mu saw a huge pink fist like a cartoon without any details appearing next to Gwen.

He couldn't help but fell silent.

Gwen didn't notice that Du Mu was speechless, but became excited instead.

I didn't expect that these pink energies can really change into different shapes at will.

So how powerful is it?

Gwen was very much looking forward to it. After all, what Master Peter gave her couldn't be just a fancy thing for show.

She noticed the plum blossom pile not far away, and directly controlled her pink fist to go over there, grabbed the plum blossom pile, and lifted it up from the ground with almost no obstruction!

Gwen watched the scene in surprise and excitement.

If I had this copper bell last night, I could have directly smashed the octopus lizard's head remotely, or pulled out all its mechanical tentacles to see if he could still cause destruction everywhere.

Gwen even controlled her pink fist to spin the plum blossom stake in her hand several times like spinning a pen. In the end, she wanted to hold the wooden stake in her hand like a dagger, but accidentally spun the plum blossom stake away.

After all, it is almost like that now. Gwen controls the true qi, the true qi controls the magic fist, and the magic fist holds the plum blossom stake. It is impossible to control it so precisely for the time being, and Du Mu can understand it.

Without him moving, the plum blossom pile, which was about to fly out of the yard, returned to the martial arts hall as if in rewind and was reinserted into the ground. Even the soil automatically healed itself, and everything returned to its original state.

Gwen scratched her head sheepishly and quickly dissipated the pink fist, pretending nothing had happened.

And after Gwen gave up control of them, those magical powers flew towards Du Mu.

Du Mu calmly waved his hand, and the magic power instantly changed direction and poured into the bronze bell.

"When you are in the same world as me, you still have to control yourself. Just like a sword needs to be sheathed after being drawn, you need to refill the magic power into the copper bell before giving up control."

Du Mu gave a brief explanation.

"Of course, if it's not in the same world as me, it should return automatically."

Gwen looked at the copper bell in her hand with twinkling eyes, and felt that it was a fantasy weapon rarely seen in animations.

Du Mu told Gwen about the characteristics he had researched last night.

"Mana power is made up of true qi and magic power. When you simply use mana as an extension of your body to interfere with matter like you did just now, you consume true qi. As long as you inject more true qi into it, the mana will slowly recover."

Gwen nodded and asked curiously, "Magic? What is that?"

Du Mu shook his head and said, "It's a strange energy. You are not qualified to learn it."

Either you have the blood of a wizard, or you have meridians as broad as the Hulk's 800-mile Quicksand River and a physique that is completely immune to injury, otherwise you are destined to have no connection with magic.

No...not necessarily.

Du Mu looked at the copper bell in Gwen's hand, seeing the other party's slightly disappointed look, narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said: "Mana power can cast spells... You can understand it as being able to respond to your strong emotions."

Gwen looked puzzled, obviously not understanding what Du Mu meant.

Du Mu also shook his head. He could easily use his magic power to release those messy spells. On the one hand, he had enough magic power, and on the other hand, his mental strength could make up for some of his not-so-high emotions.

Besides, if Gwen really did use the magical component of her mana to cast a spell, then the 'magazine' would probably be empty.

Finally, Du Mu shook his head and said, "Forget it. It's too much trouble to explain. Just think of it as the Qi that can leave your body and use it to hit the enemy. Don't think too much."

Gwen seemed to understand but said she did.

She thought that magic power should have many other uses, but she had not received any training, so Peter's master did not intend to teach her, or thought that she could not learn it.

Gwen had no complaints about this. She always felt that she was able to obtain the power of Du Mu's initiation because of Peter's kindness, so she did not dare to make any requests.

It’s not that he was afraid of losing such an opportunity, but he was afraid that Peter would be disliked by his teacher.

But Gwen still kept in mind what Du Mu said, "Magic power can respond to your strong emotions."

What if it can be used someday?
Just when Gwen was about to thank him and return to New York to search for Otto, suddenly a rough but manly figure appeared at the door of the martial arts gym.

He was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, a typical American Southerner's outfit, with wild hair standing upright, even forming horns on both sides... or a hairstyle that looked like beast ears.

Du Mu was a little surprised. The person who came was Logan.

Only this time, he was dressed much more decently.

Logan's arrival was beyond Du Mu's expectations. He thought he would be the first person to leave and never explore the other world again. That's why Du Mu took the opportunity to draw some of his blood after driving him away, so that he would not lose the opportunity to go to a new world.

The reason why Du Mu has not yet entered the world of X-Men is, of course, because of Professor X, a mutant who can completely destroy and change a person's mind.

Considering that the mutants who came to his world were not necessarily from the movie world, they might be different from the movies and TV shows he had seen in his previous life... Du Mu couldn't be sure whether Professor X was a kind-hearted person who would not take the initiative to take action.

Even so, since he only has this superpower of mind reading, he has no qualms about reading the thoughts of every person he meets.

Only the world of Harry Potter, which is divided into novel and movie versions, is relatively stable. No matter which version of Dumbledore he is, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to use Legilimency. That is why Du Mu dared to go to the world of Harry Potter when his strength was not yet strong.

Du Mu's thinking speed was too fast now. He was thinking about so many things the moment Logan appeared. It was not until this moment that Gwen noticed that there was a man beside her.

"Who?"

Gwen looked at the other person warily and said sternly: "Sir, I don't know you. Are you Peter's friend? If you came here by breaking into a private house, I..."

Gwen was a little speechless when she said this. After all, she was not used to the identity of a big capitalist and could not say anything too threatening.

Seeing Gwen's big reaction, Du Mu chuckled and said, "Gwen, don't be angry. The door of the martial arts hall is not just connected to Peter's bedroom, but can lead to many worlds."

Gwen was stunned. She had previously thought that only Peter's bedroom could come into this world, so she was so angry when she saw a stranger, thinking that the other party had broken into a private house.

Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, she quickly stepped aside in embarrassment and apologized, "I'm so sorry, I thought... I thought you were from my world, so I misunderstood you as trespassing."

Logan didn't care about Gwen from beginning to end. He just glanced at her and then looked at Du Mu.

Then, he took a deep breath, bowed slowly and stiffly, and said, "Lord Du Mu, I am very sorry for the unpleasantness of our first meeting."

Du Mu was stunned by Logan's behavior.

"Lord Du Mu?" Du Mu had not yet been able to use this title to allow himself to hear the voices of ordinary people praying, so he had not yet told anyone about it.

This Logan actually called himself by this name in advance...

Is it...

Recalling the plot in the original X-Men, Du Mu hesitated and asked, "Are you Logan who came back from the future?"

Logan still maintained his awkward bowing posture and nodded stiffly.

But it's okay.

Du Mu didn't expect that even if he didn't go to the world of mutants, the other party would actually come to him on their own initiative.

But there must have been at least one movie between Wolverine's amnesia and his future self traveling through time, right? It doesn't make sense that he would be possessed by his future self so quickly.

Of course, the scripts for the X-Men series are written and filmed one by one, unlike the Avengers, which at least had some script and timeline planning before Avengers 4, so there are many bugs and mismatched time nodes.

Plus, reversing the future involves changing history, so it's even more difficult to explain.

Du Mu gave up sorting out the timeline and just treated Logan in front of him as a stranger whose fate he had never met before. He calmly said, "Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Logan then slowly straightened up and exhaled.

He was really not used to being so polite, but fortunately he was mature enough in the future and had lived in Japan for some time, so he also learned a little bit of the spirit of craftsmanship.

Logan raised his head, looked at Du Mu, and said seriously: "The first reason I came here this time is to tell you... Under my warning, Professor X will not read your mind without permission."

Du Mu touched his chin and frowned slightly.

Although these words sounded humble, Du Mu associated them with something not so good.

If Professor X read my mind and I reacted so strongly... there is only one possibility.

That is, the brain occlusion technique that he thought he had learned well did not completely block Professor X's spying on him, which led to his counterattack.

Du Mu didn't want Logan to keep him in suspense, so he asked directly, "What happened in the future? Tell me in detail."

Logan nodded. Although he looked young, Du Mu could see depth and vicissitudes in his eyes.

No one knows when the future Logan came from inside the body of this young Wolverine.

Logan then slowly said: "When you appeared in our world, Professor X and Magneto discovered your existence because of your behavior of searching for mutants."

Du Mu nodded. If he went to the mutant world, he might indeed collect some mutants as his disciples...

It is possible to be awakened or not awakened.

Du Mu thought of the mutants who were bullied and excluded in the original work. With his own personality, it was as if he accepted Banner, so it was very normal for him to let them come to live in the martial arts gym.

The disappearance of mutants will indeed attract the attention of the two most powerful mutants in the world.

As for the two sides after contact...

According to Logan's assurance to him just now, Du Mu had already guessed the result.

His own brain occlumency probably failed to completely block Professor X's mind reading, and then he and Professor X... probably had a battle in the spiritual world just like the other party and Apocalypse.

As for the outcome of the battle, Du Mu had never come into contact with Professor X and was not sure how strong his mental power was.

Fortunately, Logan helped Du Mu to give the spoiler.

"Professor X said... I mean, the future Professor X told me that when we first met, his reckless mind reading failed to obtain any of your secrets. Please rest assured."

Du Mu nodded, it seemed that his hard work in practicing brain occlusion had not been in vain.

Gwen, who was standing by, was full of questions.

She didn't quite understand what he was saying. What was this mind reading? Were all the people in that world people with super powers?

Fortunately, Gwen was a good girl and she did not interrupt their conversation rashly.

Although she wanted to return to New York to capture Otto, after Gwen learned that this man was from another world, she felt like a cat scratching her head and wanted to find out the situation from that other world.

This kind of curiosity belongs to young people, and cannot be suppressed at all if they are under 25 years old.

"But Professor X suffered considerable damage in his mental confrontation with you."

Logan looked embarrassed: "So much so that when he faced the Black Emperor Sebastian Shaw later, he was unable to completely control him, and Magneto was killed by the Black Emperor."

Good guy.

Du Mu didn't expect that this brief contact would cause such a big mistake like a butterfly effect.

That's Magneto, one of the real protagonists of the X-Men world. It's the hawkish attitude of the other party and the dovish attitude of Professor X that have repeatedly kept the status of mutants in the X-Men series unstable.

And once Magneto dies, won't Professor X be the only mutant leader left?

No...there's also that guy Sebastian Shaw, but he's just a terrorist. He only cares about his own status and doesn't care about the situation of mutants. He's not the same kind of person as Magneto.

Logan sighed, "Then Professor X escaped from the scene. In order to deal with Sebastian Shaw, he and Beast created a brain wave amplifier and united most of the mutants. In a battle that was no less intense than a war, they finally captured Sebastian Shaw alive."

"Cough cough cough..."

Du Mu started to cough. He looked at Logan in disbelief and asked, "Captured alive?"

Logan showed a helpless look: "We can't do anything... because any attack will only increase Sebastian Shaw's strength."

Du Mu was suddenly a little surprised. He still remembered how Magneto killed Xiao in the original book.

Professor X completely controlled Sebastian Shaw, making him unable to use his mutant abilities. Then Magneto controlled the coin and slowly pressed it into Shaw's brain without much kinetic energy, killing him.

Wouldn't the same approach work?
As if he saw Du Mu's doubts, Logan said with an unpleasant expression: "However, during the process of encircling Xiao, Professor X was attacked by the opponent's White Queen, and his spirit was further damaged."

"So much so that, according to the beast's calculations, if he continued to control Shaw and suffered a fatal attack together with Shaw... Professor X would die with him."

"We can no longer afford such losses."
