Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 163 Gotham Orphans
As expected, the meridians in King Kong's body bear little resemblance to those of humans.

But fortunately, there is at least such a thing as "meridians"... or at least energy-transmitting tissues that are suspected to be meridians.

Du Mu was not surprised by this, and it was even reasonable. In the world of Titan beasts, the energy provided by food alone was not enough to support the movement of the beasts that could easily reach hundreds of meters.

In that magnificent ecosystem, the energy that drives the giant beasts is not ruthless biological energy, but atomic energy.

Du Mu has not yet studied the bodies of real Titans, so he is not sure what their physical constitution is like, but there are organs in the body of the King Kong that are used to guide the trace atomic energy contained in food.

But when Du Mu really transferred his true energy into King Kong's body, the situation was beyond Du Mu's expectations.

Perhaps this is because this meridian-like organ is used to absorb the pitiful amount of geothermal atomic energy in the Skull Island ecosystem. When the true energy flows into it, it is almost immediately absorbed by King Kong's dried up cells!

King Kong was stunned and looked up at Du Mu.

Du Mu was also stunned and looked down at King Kong.

King Kong originally didn't know why this human being, whom he had 'become his disciple', wanted to touch him.

This kind of touch is a very dangerous signal for King Kong, who has lived alone in the wild since childhood. Fortunately, King Kong is not as smart as a simple beast, so he can barely suppress his desire to escape or attack.

However, the energy transmitted from the other person's hand seemed to bypass the steps of swallowing and digestion and directly inject nutrients into one's body.

Originally, King Kong had gotten used to his usual state and didn't feel uncomfortable. But today, when he got this strange energy, he suddenly felt like a starving ghost who hadn't eaten for eighty years. Every cell in his body was craving for more nutrition.

And Du Mu...is indeed not lacking in true energy.

So far, he has given his true qi to dozens of people, including a tough guy like Peter who can take on dozens of people. The true qi in his dantian has long since formed a semi-solid state like mutton-fat jade.

It's just that Du Mu's Qi cultivation is not obvious because his Qi is mild and he usually uses more magic power against the enemy.
Therefore, Du Mu provided almost as much as King Kong could absorb.

At the same time... Du Mu also felt that the true energy and mental power, which had originally shown signs of being out of control, finally gradually stabilized.

Du Mu's three attributes far exceed those of ordinary people: mental power, true energy, and magic power. They are all highly stable energies. Maybe only his magic power is a little worse, but Du Mu has left most of his magic power in the mutant world.

But even so, Du Mu now needs to "deliberately" maintain the circulation of energy in his body when walking, sitting or lying down every day, so that they will not harm his body.

Because there are just too many...

The Qi must be almost completely solidified in the meridians, and the more so, the stronger the pressure is needed to keep it running. The greater the pressure, the faster the Qi in the meridians moves, and the closer it is to the concept of a high-pressure water gun.

And the vast spiritual power must always be carefully maintained in this body, just like asking an adult to wear children's clothes.

To be honest, as long as Du Mu completely relaxes his control over the energy in his body, he will inflict huge damage to himself that has never been inflicted by any enemy before.

He would not die, and he could use his magic power to heal himself immediately. But Du Mu could not maintain the state of self-mutilation and self-healing every day, so he still had to stay focused at all times.

This is why Du Mu has been slow to start classes at Hogwarts and instill magical powers into those young wizards.

The extremely docile Qi and mental power alone, because of their terrifying amount, have caused such a burden on the body. Once the not-so-docile mana increases by dozens or hundreds of times, Du Mu will probably have to rely on dispersing his energy to maintain his daily activities.

But now, as the true energy was madly absorbed by the King Kong cells, Du Mu felt as if the big hands that were tightly gripping his body had been released. Every inch of muscle in his body that was originally tense relaxed and soothed.

The cage that bound the spiritual power became wider and wider, and the Qi no longer overwhelmed the meridians just by flowing.

From King Kong, Du Mu felt for the first time what it felt like to get ten times the feedback of physical fitness.

Watching King Kong grow from 1.5 meters to 1.6 meters, Du Mu was secretly amazed.

The behemoths' absorption and utilization of energy is the most mysterious feature of that world, right?

He did not relax the shrinking spell he was casting on King Kong...which meant that King Kong's body size was also increasing proportionally.

How can you become fat by eating all at once? The giant beast in the world of Titans said that it is true.

Du Mu could only be thankful again that the feedback on his physical fitness did not include "growth in height".

Come to think of it, Du Mu will have more than one apprentice after all, and there must be many young ones among them. If every apprentice grows a little bit taller every day and then grows ten times as fast, Du Mu will probably become a new Titan in a few months.

The surging and domineering strength of muscles and bones was like his ever-strengthening foundation. Du Mu could hardly even imagine how powerful the Four Phase Fist could be if he did not use his true energy and magic power, and only relied on his current physical fitness to perform it.
It is really impossible to estimate this time, because Du Mu can feel the increase and growth of strength every minute and every second.

He had thought that he would have to use Hulk's blood on King Kong to strengthen his body...but he didn't expect that with just the step of infusing true qi, King Kong would achieve Du Mu's original goal with the beast's domineering ability to absorb energy.

The only pity is that because Vajra was unable to obtain the true energy itself, Du Mu’s initiation of Vajra has a limit.

It's not like when Peter Parker was given a head-on injection in the past, where the amount he injected was ten times the amount he got back, until Peter couldn't hold on any longer.

King Kong was more than 30 meters tall. Even if Du Mu had the innate energy that ordinary people could not cultivate for thousands of years in theory, it would be difficult to burst King Kong.

Du Mu vaporized all the semi-solid true qi in his body, converted it into energy and provided it to King Kong for absorption. A terrifying and magnificent flow of energy was transmitted within one of Du Mu's arms.

But because of the gentleness of the true energy, it appeared that there was no unnecessary movement on the surface.

Everything was quiet and seemed normal.

It was only the height of a dwarf ape, but it kept rising.

Finally, when King Kong emitted signals of discomfort and pain, and when no cell in King Kong's body could absorb the true energy that Du Mu had transferred into it, Du Mu slowly stopped his practice.

Although King Kong was still about 1.6 meters tall at this time, Du Mu knew that it was because the bone cells were not dividing fast enough.

It will only take a short period of time, maybe just one or two months, for King Kong's height to increase dramatically.

He may not be able to reach the 100 meters described decades later in the original novel, but it is more than enough to catch up with the height of his parents.

Not only did the height change, but when King Kong clenched his fist in doubt, Du Mu clearly felt the energy similar to true qi gathering in it.

Du Mu suddenly realized and nodded slightly. It seems that there is indeed a big difference between the giant beast and humans. The meridians he felt before were just similar.

The behemoths do not need meridians to hold excess energy, their cells are sufficient to perform similar functions. When needed, energy is directly mobilized from all cells and gathered to where it is needed.

This made Du Mu even more curious about the principle behind the so-called atomic breath of Godzilla in the Titan world.

Unfortunately, it seems that it will take many years before Godzilla wakes up?
Du Mu shook his head secretly, not thinking about it for the time being, but looked at King Kong and said: "Since your body can accommodate true qi, then try to practice the Four Phase Fist to see if you can generate true qi on your own. If you can, you will probably have the energy you need to grow into a 100-meter giant beast. Of course, you still need to eat."

However, the fact that Qi can be used as fuel for growth mainly depends on the special physique of the giant beast itself. And according to Du Mu's observation, even for the giant beast, Qi cannot replace food.

Although the energy density of Qi is very high, it is acquired through training and can be understood as a single nutritional structure. Just like it is impossible for a living thing to survive by relying solely on protein, fat or sugar, a living thing does not have the ability to convert Qi into all the nutrients it needs.

King Kong didn't quite understand what the Four Phase Fist Du Mu was talking about, but it didn't matter. Du Mu could directly pass all the content to King Kong through the mental link and let him understand the effects that the Four Phase Fist and breathing method could achieve after practicing.

King Kong discovered that he only needed to do some inexplicable movements to obtain extra sources of energy from nature, and he was immediately eager to try it.

It's a pity that the simple transfer of knowledge cannot be achieved overnight. King Kong's boxing and kicking movements in the martial arts hall were very stiff.

After all, it is a wild beast that has survived alone for nearly a hundred years and has long formed its own habitual fighting style. It is indeed difficult for the monkey to imitate human movements to perform punches and kicks.

Du Mu was just about to correct it when he was suddenly stunned.

He felt something vaguely during the spiritual connection...

So he raised his hand slightly, and immediately, King Kong made the same move as Du Mu.

King Kong looked at his fist in surprise, while Du Mu smiled.

It seems that the true energy that is bestowed upon others can still be considered as one's own.

After all, King Kong only absorbed them with his cells, not refined them, so the spiritual imprints in them are still there.

And through the spiritual connection with King Kong, Du Mu can control King Kong to do what he wants, almost like a King Kong driver.

However, this is just an interesting discovery. Du Mu's own combat power does not require controlling King Kong to enhance himself.

But it is very convenient for teaching.

Du Mu felt King Kong's body structure and relaxed mental strength, and easily made various drastic improvements to the Four Phases Fist until he adapted to King Kong's body structure and force-generating method.

Even though he was making some progress in improving his martial arts techniques which would require an ordinary martial arts master to spend several years in seclusion before making any progress, Du Mu felt a rare sense of relaxation these days.

Although paying close attention to the flow of energy in the body did not consume much of Du Mu's attention and energy, the uncomfortable feeling was still difficult to explain to others.

Nowadays, Du Mu's spirit, physique and energy have achieved comprehensive growth, and finally reached a level where they will not hold each other back.

Not to mention how much the combat effectiveness can be improved, just the improvement in physical condition and comfort level is simply a world of difference.

What's more, this also means that Du Mu can finally move to a higher level in other aspects.

The foundation has been strengthened and more buildings can be added on it.

----

King Kong had a good talent for martial arts, and with Du Mu's hands-on teaching, it took him one day to memorize all the four-phase boxing techniques unique to the King Kong clan.

Of course, there are corresponding breathing methods.

As time came to night, today's teaching came to an end.

Du Mu planned to release King Kong back to Skull Island. After all, his appetite could only be satisfied in a world full of giant beasts. There was not enough meat for King Kong to eat in Dashun.

Although other worlds with abundant resources should be able to obtain food that can fill King Kong's stomach, it would take time to purchase it, which is too troublesome.

King Kong was led by Du Mu from the martial arts gym to the center of the earth. At this time, Camazotz had already escaped, and the remaining corpses of the skeleton giant lizards were being eaten by other creatures in the center of the earth.

The moment Du Mu brought King Kong back, he revoked the shrinking spell on him, and King Kong immediately returned to his real weight and height.

At this time, King Kong was already heading towards thirty-five meters. In other words, the true energy in Du Mu's body was enough to support such a giant beast to grow four or five meters in height. If the energy contained in it were to be calculated by professionals, it would definitely be an astronomical figure.

"Go, King Kong. I'll come back to you when you've fully digested the Qi contained in your cells."

Du Mu floated in the air, his eyes level with King Kong's, and spoke.

King Kong looked at Du Mu and nodded.

Just as Du Mu was about to leave, he suddenly felt some emotions coming out of the King Kong spirit.

Du Mu turned his head and looked at King Kong, and saw King Kong raise his hands, hesitantly and awkwardly, and made the fist-holding gesture that he had seen Banner do.

At the same time, he also received information from King Kong's heart.

'Thank you, Master?'

This was the first time that King Kong addressed Du Mu in a human way during the mental connection.

Du Mu smiled slightly, realizing that King Kong actually did not fully understand the meaning of "Master".

He was just imitating Banner.

But at least, King Kong was very clear in his heart about the help Du Mu had given him, and he also understood that his identity was similar to those humans who had appeared before, so he knew that he should imitate them.

For a giant beast that had never been in contact with human society, Du Mu was very pleased that he could develop such a level of understanding in just one day.

He flew towards King Kong, touched his head, sighed, and reminded him: "Well, remember to eat well and grow up, so that you can defeat the Titan beasts that enslaved your people after you find your own people."

Upon hearing this, King Kong's originally 'clear' eyes suddenly became sharp again, emitting the fierce light of a top predator.

He took two breaths and nodded to show that he understood.

Du Mu smiled slightly, and then his figure disappeared.

King Kong noticed Du Mu's departure. Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, he accepted it more easily than most humans with a stable worldview. He simply thought of it as a way of moving like flying, except that he could suddenly disappear.

Then, King Kong turned his head and looked at a group of giant earth beasts not far away.

Those giant beasts had already eaten all the dried corpses of the skeleton lizards. At this time, they also noticed King Kong, slowly gathered together, and stood in the distance to look at this strange giant beast.

King Kong touched his empty stomach and looked at the huge beasts that were already fifty or sixty meters tall even though they were on all fours. He immediately decided to return to Skull Island to eat first.

However, it seemed that last time, in order to prevent Camazotz from discovering the vortex tunnel leading to Skull Island, the master took himself to another continent in the sky.

King Kong raised his head and looked at the vast inverted land in the sky, then looked at the giant four-legged beast that was slowly approaching.

This……

How am I going to get back?

----

After returning to the martial arts hall, Du Mu first went to the courtyard on the right.

This was where several scientists were gathered before to study the gorilla potion. With the energy provided by Tony Stark and the equipment purchased by Peter Pharmaceuticals, this place has become a qualified research institute except that it cannot connect to the Internet.

Even the fact that you can't connect to the internet might be an advantage.

At this time, Banner was inside, studying the corpse of a huge rat covered with brown hair.

This is why Du Mu did not inject Hulk's blood into King Kong.

In addition to the fact that King Kong's own physical fitness has increased, which is enough to meet Du Mu's current needs, it is also because Hulk's blood is not very stable.

The first time, there was no preparation and it was directly poured into the body of the deer-horned white tiger. This successfully turned the opponent into a Hulk-like creature, but it was too ugly, so Du Mu directly destroyed the body.

The second time, Du Mu used the power of faith to merge the two forces that transformed into each other in Hulk's blood into one... This seemed to burst out extremely powerful energy, but it also caused the mouse to be unable to bear it and died directly.

In this case, Du Mu did not force it immediately, and simply asked the real owner of Hulk's blood to help with the research.

It doesn’t matter if he didn’t use it this time. Anyway, Du Mu will officially start spell courses at Hogwarts next, and his magic power will surge again.

When he feels that the magic power is too much and his body can't bear it, Hulk's blood can strengthen his body again.

Anyway, opportunities are always there.

Banner noticed Du Mu's arrival, took his eyes off the microscope, and smiled, "Master, how do you feel about accepting King Kong as your disciple?"

In the Marvel world, although there are no new "King Kong vs. Godzilla" series movies released, "King Kong" directed by Peter Jackson still exists.

But that King Kong is really just an enlarged version of a gorilla, not the surreal giant beast in the Titan world that is closer to an ape.

But this did not affect Banner's association.

Du Mu smiled and said, "Jin Gang's physical fitness is quite good. It will be a great benefit for me to accept him as my disciple."

Banner was stunned: "Are you really calling him King Kong?"

Du Mu didn't know if it was okay since he didn't come up with the name, but he was too lazy to explain.

He looked at the dead rat and asked, "How about it, can you make a stable potion to transform into Hulk?"

Banner scratched his face, looked at the giant rat on the table, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Du Mu seriously: "Master, do you want to create a Hulk army?"

Du Mu was startled, shook his head and said, "Of course I don't have such plans. I will at most give it to King Kong and myself."

Banner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had already reconciled with Hulk, he no longer felt that someone like Hulk should not exist in the world.

But Banner is still very clear about how dangerous Hulk's physique is.

If possible, Banner still hopes that there won't be so many dangerous and uncontrollable factors in this world.

Banner pushed his glasses and said, "Master, if you need, you can give this task to me. It will take me about two weeks."

As he spoke, he shook his head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Master, I should have said... Please let me make the Hulk potion, and I don't need an assistant."

"Once the Hulk potion spreads, it will be too dangerous. Even if I have magical powers now, I don't know how to deal with other Hulks."

Banner looked at the giant rat, fear rising in his eyes: "I didn't expect that Hulk's blood would have such a terrible compatibility... It's like a vampire infection."

"Fortunately, the blood I gave to the military was stolen by that Loki, but you got it back. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."

"I was so impulsive that I handed over such a dangerous thing to the U.S. military without doing any research."

Du Mu had already informed Banner of what had happened during the week he was researching the gorilla potion.

Banner had not taken the theft of his blood seriously at first, but after observing the corpse of the giant rat, cold sweat broke out on his back and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.

If the US military really develops a Hulk army, it will be a disaster for the entire earth. When the Hulk army is deployed on the battlefield, it will definitely become the strongest offensive force under nuclear weapons, and it may bring disaster to the world far beyond the Yugoslav War and the Afghan War.

As an American, Banner still has a good understanding of his country.

Banner is not a so-called "clear-headed person" who "thinks independently". These perceptions are almost a consensus in the left-wing public opinion environment such as the scientific community and the literary and artistic circles. This is why Dr. Connors was so resistant to his lizard potion being sold to the military.

Du Mu shook his head and said, "You don't have to blame yourself too much. The Hulk-like enemy created by your blood should not be able to reach the real physical qualities of the Hulk. When I was conducting experiments before, I killed an experimental animal that was relatively successful."

Considering the Abomination in the original work, he is not so immortal and can be knocked unconscious just by being strangled by the throat.

To be honest, even Hulk himself has not never been defeated. At least in the movie, he was defeated head-on in the battle with Thanos.

Banner heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

However, before developing the Hulk potion, he hesitated for a moment and asked Du Mu, "Master, why do you also want to obtain the power of the Hulk? Although the power of the Hulk has some potential, it is not as strong as the power you have shown."

Du Mu said: "Hulk's physique is equivalent to the most solid foundation. Only when his physical functions are strong enough can I take my energy utilization to a higher level."

Banner asked doubtfully: "But in my eyes, you are already strong enough..."

Du Mu looked at Banner and suddenly laughed, "Others may be confused about this matter, but why should you be confused? Banner, have you forgotten what kind of environment this world is in?"

Banner was startled and suddenly clenched his fists.

Since reconciling with Hulk, his life has been smooth sailing. After completely defeating his inner demon Ross, Banner is even more full of energy.

So much so that after several months of stable life, he almost forgot... In this solar system, there is an invisible big hand that is playing with the stars at will.

It would be fine if the difference was just between ordinary planets, but the point is that one of the planets is full of monsters like Shura, while the other is full of mysterious and bizarre ghosts.

It is even harder to say what is on other planets... Most of them are blocked by the sun and have no satellites, so it is difficult for Banner to survey the scenery there.

He had faced those enemies with Peter before, including the time on the coast of Kowloon Bay. Shura's characteristics had left a deep impression in Banner's mind.

Just think about how weird and disgusting Shura is, and there is actually an entire planet full of this thing... Banner finally got rid of his laziness during this period and became serious.

"I understand, Master. I took it too lightly."

As Banner spoke, he was also thinking in his heart whether he should discuss with Peter during this period of time to see if he could help him buy some materials so that he could try to launch a satellite in this world?
We can't always turn a blind eye to those other strange planets. Shura and Ghost have appeared on Earth, so who knows how they can invade on a large scale.

For these creatures that can hardly be called living things, there is no need for high-end things like spacecraft. Just like the ghosts of Luo Sect that Master mentioned before, they can come to the earth directly with a sunshade metal. This is too unsafe.

With his mind full of thoughts, Banner began to devote himself to the intense and exciting research work.

Du Mu thought about it and decided to go to Hogwarts to see Dumbledore tomorrow morning so that the academy's spell classes could be put on the schedule.

Originally, Du Mu should have taken a nap and enjoyed the long-lost relaxation of his body.

But it was precisely because of the sudden increase in physical fitness that Du Mu felt full of energy and not at all sleepy.

Du Mu thought about it, and like Banner, he considered the issue of monitoring the conditions of several other planets, and naturally considered the use of satellites.

It's just that Banner was thinking of buying materials from Peter, and he made a miniature rocket manually... Anyway, if the initial power is not enough, he can summon the 100-meter Hulk and directly use the method of throwing to accelerate the rocket to the first cosmic speed.

Du Mu searched in his mind, and the first thing that came to his mind was the watchtower floating above the earth in the Justice League animation.

The Watchtower was invested and built by Batman alone. I just don't know if I, who has only been Batman's disciple for more than a year, have the technological accumulation of Batman in the animation.

So after saying goodbye to Banner, Du Mu walked towards the door of the martial arts hall.

But before leaving, he looked at the door of the martial arts hall and thought for a moment.

Last time, he gave the martial arts school a screening condition, which was to designate the next time traveler as 'Uzumaki Naruto'. Now it has passed 12 o'clock in the evening, which is the second day, and still no new time traveler has appeared.

I don’t know how long this cooling-off period will last.

In fact, Du Mu didn't necessarily want Uzumaki Naruto as his disciple. He was more trying to see if the martial arts school's gate really listened to him.

As for Uzumaki Naruto, in addition to satisfying the requirements of "orphan" and "coming from the animation works that one has watched", he also has the label of "non-European and American film and television works", which can be regarded as expanding the current scope of time travelers.

And if it really succeeds...it will be more feasible in the future.

However, since no new time travelers have appeared yet, Du Mu didn't think any more about it. He put on the blood patch and walked out of the martial arts hall.

The next moment, he appeared in the Batcave.

The Batcave is different from the last time I came here.

Most of the original Batcave's structure came from the air-raid shelter built by the Wayne family's ancestors during World War II, plus a small amount of metal platforms and modern equipment.

In today's Bat Cave, almost all of the buildings have been reinforced, and there are many more different rooms and platforms, making it more and more like a modern technological base.

I don’t know how Bruce did it. He couldn’t have hired someone to do the decoration, right?
However, Du Mu's mental power scanned it slightly and it was clear. These modern building structures should have been made in pieces elsewhere. After being transported to the bat cave, they only needed to be assembled in modular form using construction equipment.

In the end, Du Mu shifted his gaze to a building on the central platform that looked out of place.

Crime Alley...

Ever since it was destroyed in the last battle between Hulk and the Claws, it has completely lost the ability to travel across the world.

But Bruce insisted on putting it here. Was it to remind himself?
Remind yourself of why you put on the bat costume in the first place, and remind yourself of the mistakes you made.

Just then, the door to one of the platforms opened and Alfred walked out.

He looked at Du Mu, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Mr. Du Mu, the master and the two young masters are out tonight. Are you looking for them? I can help you contact them."

Du Mu nodded, but still stopped Alfred from taking any further action, and said, "It's okay. I'm not in a hurry to ask Bruce for help this time. I'll tell him in person after he comes back."

Alfred nodded, walked skillfully to the central computer, opened the surveillance footage of Gotham City, and switched to the street where Batman was taking action.

However, there was no trace of Batman in the surveillance footage. He had naturally avoided all surveillance, and even the satellites in the sky could not detect him.

However, Du Mu was a little curious. During this period, Batman was influenced by him and became more ruthless towards those criminals. Although he did not kill them, each of them was severely disabled.

Under such circumstances, does Gotham still need Batman's patrol every night?

After Du Mu asked the question, Alfred sighed.

He first looked at Du Mu with gratitude and said, "In fact, the workload of the master has indeed been gradually decreasing during this period."

"But if we rely on the master alone, there will always be a backlash... There are fewer and fewer vicious criminals, but the number of ordinary criminals has not dropped too significantly."

"And tonight, the master is looking for a missing child."

"Child?" Du Mu raised his eyebrows.

Alfred nodded and said, "Since the master returned to Gotham, he has hired many street orphans to help gather intelligence."

Du Mu nodded. Of course he knew this.

"It is one of the children who is missing...his name is Jason."
