Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 151: Death of Body and Mind
The treatment of the children did not take too long.

After all, the most troublesome work is all the preliminary preparations. It is necessary to adapt each person's DNA little by little to ensure that the repair agent will not destroy the original gene sequence of the person.

Connors's repair potion can actually be used just by pouring it on people, let alone injecting it. It's just that intravenous injection can achieve the greatest effect.

Du Mu looked at the new limbs that were slowly growing out of the broken trunks as if the growth of plants was captured by a high-speed camera, and nodded silently.

This was the effect he originally wanted to achieve.

"Thank you, Dr. Connors." Du Mu said.

Connors looked at the silent treatment room. The children were looking at their newly grown limbs and touching them curiously and carefully.

"No, I should thank you, Mr. Du Mu."

Connors took off his glasses, took a deep breath, and then smiled at Du Mu and said, "This is exactly the meaning of my original research on this medicine... You have made it accessible to thousands of households."

"You know, my biggest entertainment every day is to open the news and search for every person who has been cured by the repair potion. Open Twitter and Facebook to see the smiles on the faces of those who have regained their lives."

"You have given my life meaning, Mr. Du Mu... Ever since Peter Pharmaceuticals started selling the repair potion, the number of people I have saved has finally exceeded the number of people I have hurt."

Du Mu remembered that Dr. Connors seemed to have participated in the Vietnam War.

That arm was blown off during the Vietnam War.

During the Vietnam War, many soldiers were forcibly conscripted, including the famous "Forrest Gump", who was actually a person who suffered from Down syndrome or dementia. Even healthy people were often forced into the army by various policies.

It is obvious that the past Vietnam War is an indelible psychological shadow for Dr. Connors.

The so-called enemies were all crying innocent women and children, and comrades who were as frightened as himself and died in the suffocating environment of the tunnel. He himself was left with almost lifelong disability.

This is also the reason why Connors would rather have his drug experiments interrupted than let the Osborn Group research the Lizard Warrior Potion and sell it to the military.

Therefore, Connors could only express deep sympathy for the soldiers who died at the hands of Hulk, but he had no opinion on Hulk.

In his opinion, since there is no forced conscription in the US military today, it is obvious that all soldiers joined voluntarily during the equally unjust Afghan war.

Although we can’t say that they are all demons…but they are not too innocent either.

"The owner."

Li Xiaoqi walked over and stood in front of Du Mu.

Du Mu looked at her and saw that she was smiling with tears in her eyes, but she tried her best to appear calm.

Then he lowered his sight slightly and saw the other person's feet stepping on the clean ground...

The pair of feet were so white that they didn't look like those of a girl who had done rough work in the fields. Instead, they looked like those of a rich family's daughter who never left the house.

Du Mu also smiled and nodded to Li Xiaoqi.

Then Li Xiaoqi took a half step back, slowly knelt down with his first leg, and then carefully touched the ground with his second leg.

Du Mu did not stop him, nor did he say much. He just quietly used his magic power to warm the floor of the treatment room so that it was not so cold.

Li Xiaoqi slowly lowered his head and lightly touched the ground.

But until she wanted to speak, Li Xiaoqi realized that although she had been mentally prepared, she was still speechless because of her wish that had really come true.

Her heart was beating like a drum and her extremely rapid blood pressure forced her to breathe more air, until she felt the warmth of the ground and finally could no longer maintain her superficial decency.

"Thank you for your great kindness..."

The moment these words were spoken, it was as if a floodgate had opened, and tears and snot immediately flowed out, but she bit her lips tightly, not wanting Du Mu to hear her sobs.

Afterwards, the other children also knelt down one by one and shouted in unison. The sound seemed to be crowded out from their souls. Some of them were already incoherent when they said the first word, and some could not help but clench their fists after saying the last word, hoping to stop their tears.

Du Mu smiled helplessly and said, "Didn't you guys discuss this privately? Don't cry during this treatment. Let me see your growth."

After these words were spoken, everyone buried their heads in shame and used their newly appeared hands to hold their heads tightly, not wanting their ugly appearance to be seen by Du Mu.

This time, Du Mu just stood there calmly and completely accepted all their gifts.

He remembered the last time he treated the eyes of those children outside... After the treatment, he left in a hurry.

Because Du Mu felt that he had only treated a part of the people, there was no need to make too big a scene.

If Du Mu saw those still disabled children thanking him, he would only think of the friends who took care of him in his previous life and would find it difficult to accept it.

This time, everyone was no longer disabled... they regained their health and became people with all four limbs intact.

Even if they leave the martial arts school, they still have a bright future. They can start a family and make a living.

In this case, then I deserve it.

After all, Du Mu asked for nothing from them. Since he had saved them, it was natural for him to receive some thanks.

Suddenly, Du Mu was slightly startled. He felt a familiar aura...

Almost at the moment of coming into contact with the energy of faith, Du Mu felt that his mental strength had instantly increased a lot.

Furthermore, the amplification brought by these beliefs is extremely pure, as if the image they believe in is no different from themselves in reality.

The quality of everyone's faith far exceeds that of Logan, who has a firm belief, and Caesar, who has a pure heart.

If there must be a standard, their combined faith is almost equivalent to one-third of Tom after he devoured his own mental power.

Even for Du Mu today, this is a significant improvement.

If we have to calculate it based on the abstract level, it is roughly from 23 to 24.5 units.

Du Mu shook his head and laughed. He had never intended to gain any benefit from them. However, because of the long time they had spent together, these children were very familiar with his image and their faith was pure, which brought him such a significant increase.

But why didn't they do that before? Didn't they feel grateful to me before?

Du Mu felt that this was of course impossible, so he had two guesses.

One possibility is that he practiced the sacrificial rituals of the Luo sect, and from then on he was able to see and observe the energy of faith.

It's like the souls of people who died near the ghost can be clearly seen by the outside world. It's not uncommon for ghosts' skills to have this special effect like "opening the third eye".

The second type...is their gratitude, which has completely broken through from gratitude towards themselves to belief in themselves.

Those outsiders, including Logan and Caesar, directly regarded themselves as gods and performed specific acts of prayer.

And these children... Du Mu could clearly feel that they still regarded themselves as human beings.

But even if he is a mortal, the surging emotion of faith is not much different from that of fanatics worshiping gods.

Du Mu was even able to hear all the words and expressions of gratitude that they dared not say from their hearts that were completely open to him.

Those most sincere and passionate emotions were suppressed in their hearts. They dared not express them at all, for fear of angering the people they respected the most.

This made it difficult for Du Mu to maintain his calm expression, and he couldn't help but reveal a bit of pity.

He squatted down and touched Li Xiaoqi's hair.

He said softly: "Don't worry, from now on, you can call me Master."

"A teacher for a day, a father for life."

"The martial arts school is your home...it's okay to treat me as an elder."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoqi suddenly looked up and asked in surprise: "Really?!"

Looking at the little girl who was crying and snotting, and looked nothing like her former self, Du Mu smiled helplessly.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that the crying of these children was not all due to the excitement of having their bodies repaired.

Part of it also comes from fear and confusion.

I was afraid that once my body recovered, I would no longer have mercy on them and would drive them out of the martial arts hall.

Du Mu stood up and looked at the many children who also raised their heads with surprise on their faces.

He nodded and said gently, "Now that your bodies have recovered, we will add a Four-phase Fist to our future courses. Do you understand?"

Many children opened their eyes wide, wanting to scream with excitement, but suppressed their voices, and received an extremely penetrating answer: "Yes! Master!"

The door to the treatment room opened.

Old Liu and Jiang Wanli looked at the children in the front... and walked out with unskilled steps.

Old Liu's head suddenly buzzed. He opened his mouth, trembling, but remained speechless.

Du Mu also came out and looked at Jiang Wanli who was crying with excitement, Old Liu whose eyes were red, and the adults who were excited for the children.

He smiled and nodded, then said loudly in the courtyard: "From now on, these children are all my disciples. From now on, there is no order of precedence, and we can call each other brothers and sisters based on age."

Du Mu looked at the adults, led by Lao Liu, who had been taking care of the children's daily life during this period, and nodded slightly, saying, "Everyone, I will not say any more empty words. Your salary will be doubled, and all the knowledge and martial arts in the martial arts hall can be learned and taught to your family."

Old Liu was stunned, and the eyes of the adults behind him lit up and they immediately began to tremble with excitement.

They didn't care about doubling their salary. The monthly salary Du Mu gave them was more than enough to cover the expenses of the whole family.

But learning knowledge and martial arts... in ancient times when knowledge was often monopolized by the aristocratic families, it goes without saying how precious they were.

What’s more, even though they are old, they are able to learn and pass on what they have learned to their children!

Back then, they were just a group of hired laborers, but they never imagined that one day they would rise to great heights!
Suddenly, the excitement of these people was no less than that of the children with all their limbs intact.

In fact, when Du Mu specifically said that it could be passed on to family members, he did not mean to imply that they could not pass it on to outsiders.

However, Du Mu still planned to use these children as seeds to spread modern knowledge in the future, so it would be better not to let these adults who may not have learned everything teach the children outside incorrectly.

Connors was very pleased with what he saw. He said goodbye to Du Mu and planned to go back to work on company matters.

He is also an indispensable backbone figure in Peter Pharmaceuticals. At least the kind of medicine that needs to be fully compatible with the user's DNA still has to be operated by Connors himself.

After seeing Connors off, Du Mu officially began to teach these children the Four-phase Fist.

Before, I thought they could learn with prosthetics, but these children were too cautious about the safety of the prostheses and didn’t dare to use too much force, so Du Mu put the matter aside for the time being and now he has no worries.

So Du Mu lived a regular life for a few days, basically passing on skills and teaching every day.

However, after those children gradually learned the Four Phase Fist and mastered the true energy passed on to them by Du Mu... Du Mu was surprised to find that the quality of their faith had become higher and more solid.

It seemed that with true Qi as a foundation, the frequency of the faith Qi converted by the children was getting faster and faster, and now it could slightly improve Du Mu's mental strength almost every day.

In just seven days, Du Mu's mental power, calculated according to the previous ratio, had reached the level of 28 Toms.

When Tom devoured Du Mu's mental power, he directly devoured the limit of what he could bear, which is twice his own mental power. So currently Tom's mental power is equivalent to 2 Toms, and Du Mu received ten times the feedback, which is 20 Toms.

Combined with his own mental strength, and the subsequent improvements, he finally reached 23 Tom.

Unexpectedly, in just seven days, these children actually brought him 5 Toms's spiritual power improvement.

Of course, there is actually no real standard or level. Du Mu made a rough calculation based on the "quantity".

No wonder… No wonder Luo Zu would carefully select his believers.

The improvement of spiritual power of truly satisfied believers is indeed terrifying. The benefits these children bring to Du Mu far exceed the faith of the people saved by Hulk and Peter.

In comparison, the increase in true Qi of these children in a short period of time and the tenfold feedback it brought to Du Mu seemed less important.

Well, it is still very important. But Du Mu really found it difficult to quantify his true qi. It was too much and too dense. He felt that he was about to form a pill.

So, suddenly, improving physical fitness seems to be a matter of urgency.

Du Mu always felt that if he had more energy in his body and his mental strength was improved, he might even be able to leave his body and exist as a spirit, which would be better than moving in the flesh. Fortunately, Du Mu was now teaching his disciples to practice the Four Phases Fist. With so many people practicing martial arts at the same time, the physical fitness improvement brought about by it every day also surprised him.

As expected, they are all adolescent children. As long as they are given enough food, their height and physical strength will soar like a rocket.

Therefore, although Du Mu still hopes to achieve stronger physical fitness, his physical condition is actually similar to the past.

Although mental strength and true energy are growing, the physical fitness that can support them is also growing synchronously.

However, Du Mu saw several children grow one or two centimeters in just one week, and he was glad that the height growth during puberty was not counted in the tenfold feedback.

He just needs a normal human height, but doesn't want to become a three-meter-tall monster like the Hulk.

After today's teaching, Du Mu thought about it and felt that Tony should have completed the second Ark reactor.

With the Ark Reactor, you can easily control magnetism.

He has already thought of how to use magnetism to train his own body... no, even use electromagnetism to strengthen and train his disciples' bodies, so that he can improve tenfold.

Just when Du Mu was about to leave, he suddenly felt that Hulk and Peter came back together.

So Du Mu waited for the two of them in the martial arts hall temporarily. Fortunately, Hulk was very fast and Du Mu didn't have to wait too long. He saw the other party falling from the sky, but defying gravity and landing lightly in the martial arts hall.

Then Peter came down from behind Hulk. His face looked a little haggard, but his eyes were very bright.

Peter looked at Du Mu, and his temperament seemed to be much calmer. He and Hulk clasped their fists and said, "Master!"

After Du Mu nodded in return, Peter spoke up, "Master, we have already settled the people who were about to be sacrificed, and the Blood Clothes Army has also completely defeated the person behind the scenes with the help of the dehydration potion you gave us... But..."

Seeing Peter was so hesitant, Du Mu said, "Just say it."

Peter scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "But, it seems that the highest-ranking official who controls the Blood Clothes Army is the emperor of this country."

Du Mu sighed: "Is it true?"

He was indeed mentally prepared, but when the time came, he still found it troublesome.

He is the emperor after all... Although he represents the highest status of the feudal order, even the worst order is still order.

If he hadn't been so stupid as to sacrifice the blood of the people to improve his own cultivation, Du Mu really didn't want to rebel.

After all, it is easy to kill the emperor, but it is difficult to govern the people.

"The world is going to be in chaos now, but the appearance of Shura is going to cause chaos anyway, so this doesn't make any difference."

Du Mu shook his head, looked at Peter and Hulk, and said with a smile: "There must be someone who supports one of you two to sit on the throne of emperor. What's wrong? Do you think this world is too backward and you are not tempted?"

Peter immediately showed a bitter face: "I...we didn't expect the final result to be like this, but the emperor saw that he couldn't beat us at that time, and he was about to slaughter the people in the capital to strengthen his own strength. We had no choice."

Du Mu said: "I don't blame you. You are not the destroyers of order. You are the ones who use Shura's blood."

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the capital, frowned slightly and said: "It's just that in a few days, the news that the emperor was killed will spread all over the world, and someone still needs to take charge of the situation."

Du Mu was also having a headache as he spoke, for he didn't want to be emperor at all.

But he was not too worried. After all, Du Mu did not solve the end of the world in the world of Rise of the Planet of the Apes himself, but sent Tom.

With the precedent, Du Mu thought that perhaps he could find a suitable person in the world to maintain order in Dashun.

Thinking of this, Du Mu turned his attention to Hulk.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Hulk, who was playing dead, quickly volunteered: "Master, speaking of which, we also saw a lot of very capable young people during this operation. Because of Peter and I's special appearance, they helped to act as middlemen to coordinate the people."

"And I gave them your prismatic stone, telling them to ask for your strength whenever they were in danger, and they could use it normally. Only then did we dare to leave without worry."

"I think if it were those few people, they would be able to govern the country well..."

Du Mu recalled that in the past few days, someone would occasionally ask for help using the prismatic stones he had distributed, and he had responded to them one by one.

After all, one of the conditions for using the prismatic stone, in addition to possessing true energy, is to pray devoutly to Du Mu with an open heart. He could also directly feel that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the temperaments of those people.

Du Mu nodded and said, "If that's the case, then let it be... It doesn't necessarily mean chaos. The emperor's death has happened too many times in all dynasties. The emperor is not immortal, so the death of an emperor is really not a big deal."

"It depends on whether things will develop in a bad direction... If it turns into a war between warlords or armed separatism, we will still have to intervene."

As he spoke, Du Mu looked at Hulk and Peter and smiled, "Come to think of it, you two are indeed a good match. Peter can make money to buy supplies in his own world, and if Hulk doesn't really want to go back to the United States, then look for someone you approve of in Dashun and help him get promoted."

As he spoke, Du Mu looked towards the side yard and changed the subject, "However, if things really get out of control, we can pick a child from the martial arts school to send out..."

"These children have learned a lot of concepts of modern civilization, and with Peter's material help, they will not make the mistake of their productivity failing to keep up with their knowledge. The other children can trust each other and form a solid team. With your assistance, Hulk..."

Hulk was stunned, thought about it carefully, and immediately laughed: "Master, I think it's okay, let's find one of those children to be the emperor!"

The emperor? Shouldn't it be the president?

Peter really wanted to ask, but this was a question that Du Mu should consider, and he had no confidence in his own knowledge, so he just kept it to himself.

In fact, Du Mu also felt that with absolute power and materials, he should carry out drastic reforms to the various problems left over from the previous dynasty.

However, his knowledge had already been taught to those children. In essence, productivity determines production relations. If most of the productivity comes from Peter's world, and even the world of Planet Rising, then the people supported by Du Mu are almost equivalent to the largest producers in the entire world.

In this situation, the rash pursuit of a self-iterating government structure that has been repeatedly turbulent in history may not be entirely suitable for this world.

even……

Du Mu suddenly thought of the complex religious aura conveyed by the people rescued by Hulks.

If everyone in the world believed in me and opened their thoughts to me, would I be able to become a human central processor that handled all social information?

Du Mu was amused by his own thoughts. This was much more tiring than being an emperor. Was there anything else he could do?
But maybe this world can go a different way than all the other worlds? Nothing is settled yet anyway.

Considering that the children were still too young, Du Mu put the matter aside for the time being.

We have to wait at least another year or two until some of the older children have reached adulthood.

----

Peter returned to New York in a hurry. He had been away for too long. If there weren't more than a hundred thousand people in need of rescue and resettlement, he would have been eager to return home long ago.

After all, in New York without Spider-Man, there is no guarantee that there will be no casualties every time a riot is resolved.

Hulk was still in the martial arts gym. He returned to the side yard and chatted with the children. The children were very happy to see him back.

Hulk then heard that these children had officially become his junior brothers and sisters. He was overjoyed and prepared to take them out to play and celebrate.

During this process, he discovered that these children all had very good internal strength. Although not as good as Peter, they were much stronger. They didn't have to be so cautious when playing and worried about accidentally crushing someone, which made Hulk even happier.

Du Mu, remaining invisible, returned to New Mexico.

As soon as he arrived here, Du Mu closed his eyes, feeling whether anyone was looking at him.

When Loki called out Heimdall's name, Du Mu felt a penetrating gaze falling on him.

That kind of gaze was like standing at the center of the universe, surrounded by millions of people, staring at him with magnifying glasses and various astronomical telescopes.

That feeling was really unpleasant, but fortunately it was very obvious and clear, allowing Du Mu to know whether he was being watched.

Du Mu stepped on the flying sword and came to the sky. The first thing that caught his eye was the huge fist pit.

The boxing pit is now completely surrounded by the army, but there are still countless people outside the encirclement, trying to find out the situation inside in various ways.

It seems that the fight between Hulk and General Ross is still big news in the United States.

At the same time, Du Mu also heard some key information from the chaotic conversations of the crowd below.

This made Du Mu stunned.

Ross actually shot himself?
And it happened yesterday.

It seems that after nearly a week of inner torment, Ross finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Du Mu heard more gossip, but since he knew the truth, those disturbing contents could not disturb him. He only needed to accept everything that was true.

For example, Hulk did leave blood before leaving because of his relationship with Ross.

This blood is extremely precious, but it mysteriously disappeared along the way...

Ross's last mission is to search for the lost blood, or find the missing Hulk and let him give him some blood.

However, Ross swore to Banner that he would never appear in front of Banner again in this life.

And the order is merciless... You, Ross, are also a soldier, do you still want to disobey orders?

So Ross, who was in a dilemma, finally chose to end his pain with a bullet in the midst of complete contradiction and internal friction.

This version of Ross's death is mixed in with various conspiracy theories. Compared with those conspiracy theories, it is the one that best fits Du Mu's conjecture.

Du Mu shook his head. Ross, who always thought that Banner was a wimp who only knew how to avoid problems, chose the most extreme way of escape in the end - suicide.

Banner gained the courage and confidence to face the problem, and instantly crushed Ross's body and mind, so that he could no longer face the Hulk no matter what, and he didn't dare to stand in front of the Hulk, and he didn't even have the courage to pretend to look for the Hulk.

Therefore, the temporary weakness of the strong is the long-term sorrow of the weak.

If Banner had shown his ultimate violence from the beginning, Ross wouldn't have been so arrogant.

Of course, Ross's arrogance is not entirely Banner's fault, but is the result of his background, upbringing, and status. If this world did not have supernatural powers, but was just an ordinary physical world, with Ross's status and power, he would undoubtedly be the superior one, and it would be normal for him to look down on others.

Unfortunately, along with confidence, there is also stupidity... As a tough soldier, Ross has probably solidified his ability to deal with problems in order to force the opponent to reveal a flaw before delivering a fatal blow.

Du Mu shook his head and stopped thinking about Ross's problem. After all, Ross was just a small figure to him.

Just when Du Mu was about to fly towards New York, he noticed a building in the distance and was suddenly stunned.

Eh? That's... Thor's hammer?
Du Mu didn't expect that seven days had passed and Thor's hammer was still there.

In the movie, it wasn't just a day or two later that Loki sent the Destroyer armor to kill Thor.

In the end, did Thor show his dedication to others at the critical moment and gain recognition from Thor's hammer?

Could it be... that Loki didn't send out the Destroyer Armor this time?
It should be, otherwise the nearby town would not be intact.

Du Mu suddenly had an idea and changed direction, coming to the complex of buildings surrounding Thor's Hammer.

These modular buildings put up by SHIELD have become a little old due to the wind and sand in seven days.

Du Mu came to the side of Thor's hammer in an invisible state, looking at the hammer standing quietly on the ground.

He slowly reached out and grasped the handle of Thor's hammer.

The next moment... Thor's hammer...

Still standing there, motionless.

Du Mu nodded. He understood that although Thor's hammer had certain requirements for his growth, it did not mean that others could obtain Thor's hammer if they achieved the same results as Thor.

but……

Du Mu stretched out his hand, and the SHIELD agents in the surrounding modular buildings suddenly felt the lights flickering and their computers went out instantly due to power outage.

Fortunately, there is a SHIELD power source nearby.

Du Mu controlled the magnetic force, narrowed his eyes slightly, and used the magnetic force to attach to the body of Thor's hammer.

Then, SHIELD's alarm began to sound an emergency call!
Because in the surveillance footage, Thor's hammer, which had remained motionless from beginning to end, actually slowly floated up!

Magneto’s ability can be based on the setting of Thor’s hammer, which is reflected in the publications of Marvel Ultimate Universe, and at least it is considered as the setting of one of the parallel worlds.
