Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 136: Magneto? The Magnet King!

What a wonderful teaching.

If Du Mu hadn't suddenly revealed that he could also control the red pulses, causing Charles to be distracted by surprise, he would have almost been unable to hold back his applause.

For Charles, who had just obtained his doctorate and aspired to become a professor, seeing the teaching that could make students suddenly realize the truth with just a few simple sentences that were concise and to the point was like watching an extremely wonderful academic performance.

What's more, this kind of teaching is reflected in the ability to control mutants, which is unparalleled in the whole world.

Think about it, there are no mutants in other worlds, and in this world where there are mutants, no one is willing to accept mutants as students. Almost every mutant is self-taught.

Du Mu was the first mutant teacher in the history of the world, but his teaching quality was so high that Charles wanted to record it and use it as a teaching material in the future.

Unfortunately, due to the uniqueness of mutants, when it comes to teaching mutants, we have to teach them in accordance with their aptitude. There is no unified teaching standard, and it all depends on the teacher's personal level and understanding of the students' abilities.

It wasn't until Charles saw the pulse ring in Du Mu's hand that he was dumbfounded.

Although, due to experience, the teacher may understand the other's mutant abilities better than the students...

But how did you use it directly?
Is something not quite right?
Du Mu ignored Charles' astonishment and looked around. He found that whether it was people or buildings, they could be easily cut off by his magic flying sword, and could not test the sharpness of the pulse ring.

Finally, he looked up and saw that the temperature in the sky had not yet dropped, so he could still see a dark red sky of magic power.

Then use your own magic power to try to stop it.

Du Mu waved his hand and gently threw the pulse ring out.

Shockwave looked at the red ring in surprise, which gave him an extremely familiar feeling. His intuition told him... this thing was the same as the red energy he released.

But why is Mr. Du Mu so stable in control?

No, the most surprising thing is how he could suddenly control his mutant abilities?

Just as the shock wave's emotions and thoughts were impacted, the next moment, a dazzling and intense flame suddenly enveloped the sky above the martial arts hall.

"呲呲呲——!"

Everyone couldn't help but avoid looking away, only Shockwave, Eric and Logan were still staring at the location of the light.

This is exactly the sound caused by the red pulse ring hitting Du Mu's mana shield.

Logan is not afraid of damaging his eyes; Eric doesn't want to miss any details of the mutants' enhanced abilities; not to mention Shockwave, that's his ability, he'll see it even if he's blind!
Fortunately, the light was the most dazzling at the beginning. Amid the continuous high-frequency friction sound, the pulse halo became thinner and thinner... But Du Mu also felt that there was a gap in his mana shield.

It was because he maintained the cutting of the pulse aura while constantly filling the gap in other parts of the mana shield that the spear and shield were able to last for dozens of seconds.

In the end, because Du Mu did not continue to infuse mana into this part of the mana shield, a red coil finally passed through the barrier of the mana shield, flew into the sky, and disappeared.

Shockwave looked at the clear gap in the red mana shield... It was exactly an "I"-shaped gap, and because of the color of the blue sky behind it, it was extremely conspicuous on the red mana shield.

He couldn't believe it. He got up from the ground, looked at the sky and then at Du Mu, swallowed his saliva and said, "You... can you use a stronger red shock wave than me?"

Du Mu shook his head and said, "No, I just learned some tips when you were controlling the energy. The total energy used in the shock wave circular slash just now is almost the same as the energy you unconsciously released in mid-air at the beginning."

Shock Wave swallowed his saliva. He could accept that Du Mu was stronger than him, even much stronger than him, and it didn't matter that he could kill him in an instant.

But tell him now, even if it’s just consuming the same amount of energy... Mr. Du Mu can control this energy and create an attack that can cut through the ruby ​​shield!
Even if he released all the shock waves with all his strength, it would be difficult to shake the ruby ​​shield even a little bit from the opponent's pressing speed!
How many times more powerful was the attack that he unleashed? A thousand times? Or ten thousand times? There was no quantitative concept of shock waves, but in short, it was definitely many, many times more powerful.

Even if you are very strong, using similar energy to create such different effects, isn't that a bit too bullying?

This is my mutant ability! Be careful or I’ll charge you for the copyright!

Shockwave's brain was so confused that he started to have wild thoughts.

Du Mu looked at Shockwave with an unacceptable look on his face, shook his head and chuckled, "Don't worry too much, you can do it with a little practice. The principle is very simple, it's just speed + pressure."

Yes, it’s very simple. You already have two legs. Next, please run 1 meters in under second.

Shockwave was complaining in his heart. After more than ten years of hard work, he couldn't even control the target in the red energy. Now he wanted me to use the cutter by hand?
You think too highly of me.

Du Mu saw the other party's grievance and said helplessly: "Okay, do you remember the true qi I just taught you? After you refine the true qi, it contains your spiritual power."

"That will be a good helper for your control ability. It can accurately and quantitatively make your control appear in reality. The next step is to practice slowly."

Shockwave looked down at his fist, feeling the extra energy in his body, and his confidence immediately returned.

After all, this is his own mutant ability, and now that he has mastered the energy that can be used as a remote control, he is indeed confident that his actual combat effectiveness can take a big step forward!

Just when Shockwave was about to say something, he felt his belt pulling him back uncontrollably.

Shock Wave was stunned. This feeling was very different from the feeling of being supported by Mr. Du Mu. The only support points were a few metal parts on his body. If there were no metal parts on his shoes and coat, it would probably be painful.

After Eric controlled the shockwave and threw it back to the crowd, he came to Du Mu, took a deep breath, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Du Mu... Since his teaching is over, can you guide me next?"

After the demonstration of shock wave, Eric has completely believed in Du Mu's strength and teaching ability.

Even and especially the ability to teach.

In just less than half an hour, Shockwave's abilities were almost completely transformed. It's hard not to be excited by such an improvement.

Eric felt a little anxious after reading half of it. If he wasn't the next one to improve his strength, he felt that he would be really anxious.

Looking at Du Mu in front of him, Eric's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken, and he even felt a little nervous.

Fortunately, for Du Mu, it didn’t matter who came first or later.

As soon as Du Mu raised his hand, a long sword floated over from the weapon rack not far away.

He casually broke off the handle of the long sword, leaving only the blade, and then said to Eric: "You try to control it first, and I will see the specific performance of your ability."

Shock Wave, who had returned to the crowd, was being pulled by the Siren to whisper. When he saw Du Mu was about to start teaching, he quickly drove the Siren aside and listened attentively.

This is the natural desire of human beings for valuable information. When you can apply knowledge immediately after hearing it, everyone will become a hungry and good student.

Although the siren knew that Du Mu was a man of great ability, he was still a child after all. He did not quite understand Du Mu's teaching and was a little absent-minded.

But he noticed that everyone except him was staring intently at the two people in front of them.

The Siren felt familiar with this scene, as if she had become a poor student who couldn't understand the teacher's lectures again...

He suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

He can choose not to listen in ordinary people's classes, but when it comes to extraordinary superpowers, if he still doesn't listen, he will probably be excluded again, right?

So the Siren also became serious and took a closer look at Du Mu's teaching of Eric.

At this time, Eric had already rolled the metal of the blade into a ball.

But Du Mu was not very satisfied when he looked at the metal ball.

In other words, quite dissatisfied.

Because the surface of the metal ball was not smooth at all, it looked like a piece of paper that had been crumpled into a ball.

The precision is terrible.

It seems that Eric's current use of his abilities is still very superficial, far from reaching the level of the older version of Magneto, who can directly extract tiny metals that are invisible to the naked eye and integrate them into one.

If he could reach the level of the elderly Magneto, he would probably not be short of iron in his daily life. After all, even the dust under his feet contains tiny iron filings.

But to be honest, even Du Mu was not very satisfied with the control power of the elderly Magneto.

"So, your superpower is to control iron?" Du Mu asked knowingly.

Eric didn't know that Du Mu knew the details of his ability, so when he heard the other party asking, he explained: "No, to be more specific, my mutant ability is to control magnetism. I use magnetism to control metal." Du Mu looked at him and narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Magnetism? Are you sure it's the magnetism of the four fundamental forces? Then you shouldn't need to enhance your combat power."

"As long as you eliminate all electromagnetic interactions on the enemy, all the atoms in his body should collapse into a ball, instantly killing almost any enemy."

"Even I don't have any good way to resist this kind of attack at the moment."

Eric opened his mouth and finally said helplessly: "I understand, but I can only feel those clear and strong magnetic fields... such as magnetic metals."

It turned out that the precision and sensory function did not meet the standards.

Du Mu nodded in understanding, and then he could understand.

Just as human eyes can receive light and thus see the outside world, this is also a superpower for the blind. But "being able to see" does not mean that human eyes can look up and directly see the surface of the moon, or look down and see the viruses in their own epidermal cells.

That requires the assistance of astronomical telescopes and electron microscopes.

Human beings themselves have limitations.

"If that's the case, then electricity and magnetism are inseparable. You should be able to control lightning, right?"

Du Mu looked at Eric and asked curiously.

The magnetic field of lightning is obvious enough, right?

For the first time in his life, Eric smiled an almost awkward smile: "I've tried this before..."

"But whether it's lightning or artificial alternating current, their speed is too fast. Even if I can barely capture a trace of alternating current, they will quickly consume their energy, and I won't have time to strengthen and control the magnetic force, and they will disappear on their own."

Du Mu nodded and concluded: "So, although you can control the magnetic field, first of all, the object you control must be very magnetic. And then it can't be too big, otherwise you can't lift it; it can't be too microscopic, otherwise you can't feel it; it can't be too fast, otherwise you won't be able to react in time, right?"

Eric could only nod numbly.

Originally, Eric was very confident after seeing the super powers of other mutants.

His control over magnetism allows him to precisely manipulate metal and lift iron blocks as heavy as anchors. His practicality and destructive power are superior to other mutants.

But after meeting Du Mu today, he just asked a few simple questions and his self-confidence was worn away.

Eric couldn't help but feel a little confused. Is my superpower very weak?
No, controlling the magnetic field is definitely not weak, no matter what.

The only one who is weak is yourself.

He couldn't help but clench his fists, and the slight confusion in his chest suddenly turned into unwillingness and a desire for power.

Eric's comprehension was indeed very high. Du Mu only gave him a few simple pointers and he immediately realized the problem.

He raised his head and said very seriously: "So, I want to learn from you how to improve my self-control, just like Alex just now."

Du Mu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Alex is different from you. He has never realized the nature of his ability. But you have understood very early on that you can control magnetism instead of iron. You are much more insightful than him in this respect."

Shockwave scratched the back of his head, feeling that this was a bit unfair.

Although he was not a good student, every student knew something about magnetic fields, so it was normal for Eric to observe the nature of his own abilities from them.

How could he observe it? He had never seen a portal before today, and he didn't know the source of the red energy, so it was normal for him to be confused.

However, he was just not convinced in his heart and did not say it out loud. Looking at Eric's back, he secretly competed in his heart, intending to quickly master the knowledge that Du Mu taught him today.

At that time, with a wave of my hand, a dozen or so decisive circular slashes will be made. Even if the opponent can control twenty layers of steel doors, he will not be able to withstand my attack. It all depends on who has a better learning ability.

Du Mu continued, "But at the same time, this also means that you don't have the same 'epiphany' that Alex had."

"His control over the red energy is too crude, so he needs the help of Qi. However, your control over magnetism has already reached the level of being as good as one's arm. Qi is not of much help to you. It is just like you can control more non-magnetic energy."

Eric looked a little disappointed when he heard this.

"But..." Du Mu changed the subject: "But true qi also has a strengthening effect on the body, including enhancing reaction and observation abilities. Maybe it can improve you in this aspect?"

Eric's eyes lit up.

Isn't this exactly what I was thinking about just now?

The weakness of his fighting ability lies in his own weak body.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Du Mu had the same idea as me.

No, the other party should have noticed it from the beginning and just slowly guided me to think about it. He was afraid that I couldn’t think of it, so he said it directly at the end?
Eric smiled. He wasn't that stupid.

"I need this." He said to Du Mu sincerely, "Please teach me this."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Du Mu did not hide anything and said directly: "Okay, stretch out your hand."

So the scene that just happened to Shock Wave was repeated in the martial arts hall.

But Eric learned more seriously than Shockwave. In the end, Shockwave only remembered a few moves, but Eric forced himself to memorize all the moves from beginning to end.

Such precious teaching is hard-earned, and Eric will never let even a single bit of this valuable knowledge slip away.

When Eric finished the exercise, he felt a thin layer of sweat all over his body. Perhaps due to the breathing method and the true qi, his muscles did not feel sore or hot, so the sweating was not intense.

Feeling the extra special energy in his body, Eric felt happy, excited, and curious.

He immediately started trying to control the true energy as if no one was around.

Sure enough, the control of the Qi in his body was no different from his usual manipulation of metal, as if he were using his arms and fingers to do whatever he wanted. The precision was also similar, which was the upper limit of his ability.

Eric tried to let the true qi leave his body, but failed. It was as if there was some transparent barrier outside that prevented his true qi from being released.

However, this barrier was not very stubborn. Eric felt that if he wanted to, he could easily let his Qi break through the barrier. However, he was not sure what the consequences would be, so he did not dare to try it lightly.

Du Mu could feel the flow of the Qi in Eric's body, so he knew what he was trying to do. He told the student the answer directly: "The reason why the Qi can flow smoothly in your body is because it is in contact with your mental power. Once the Qi is released, if there is no way to control the mental power outside the body, it will naturally dissipate."

Speaking of this, Du Mu suddenly thought that Eric seemed to really exist.

Sure enough, the next moment, a ball of true energy appeared in Eric's hands.

Eric naturally used his ability to control magnetism to allow the true Qi to attach to the magnetic force he controlled, thus achieving the effect of releasing the true Qi.

Unexpectedly, it was really successful.

The attack power of true Qi is not as strong as that of steel that can hit people directly, so there is no point in releasing it.

It’s better to use it to strengthen your physical fitness.

Eric thought disapprovingly.

But when he raised his head and wanted to consult Du Mu on how to use true qi to strengthen his body, he noticed Du Mu's surprised expression.

This expression appeared for the first time on the calm and composed face of Mr. Du Mu.

Eric was stunned and looked at the Qi in his hand again.

There's nothing wrong with that, right? Isn't this just a small ball of Qi that has left the body but hasn't lost control yet?
Didn't Mr. Du Mu even control the Qi as big as the protective shield in the sky? Why are you making such a fuss? Are you surprised by my progress?
Eric has not yet figured out the difference between true energy and mana.

But what surprised Du Mu was not the fact that Eric could leave his body...

Instead, he keenly noticed that... there was a faint, imperceptible arc of electricity flashing in this ball of true energy.

That is the magnetism that Eric is personified in!
