Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 197 Ancient One
After a quick tour of this world, Du Mu returned to the martial arts hall.

At this time, there were only his four newest disciples and Thanos in the training ground.

Peter has gone back, and Banner began to busy himself with completing Du Mu's task.

Just now when Du Mu was performing global teleportation, Pietro was also getting familiar with the true energy in his body.

The effect of true qi on his speed is very obvious. Although Pietro cannot accommodate as much true qi as Peter, it is still much more than ordinary people. His running speed is also faster than the high-pressure true qi before Du Mu obtained the Kryptonian physique.

This greatly enhanced Pietro's efficiency in using his true energy. He simply ran a few laps in the martial arts gym and immediately created a tornado.

However, because his speed was too fast, when Pietro hit the gravel that he had brought up, the gravel directly shattered Pietro's windproof glasses.

Pietro was so scared that he stopped immediately and almost bumped into the wall.

Fortunately, Du Mu returned in time through his teleportation ability and used his magic power to support Pietro steadily.

"Master! I'm so fast now!"

Pietro was still a young man after all, and he had no idea of ​​the danger he had just encountered. When he saw Du Mu appear again, he expressed his feelings excitedly.

As for how Du Mu suddenly disappeared... Du Mu had often done the same thing before. They couldn't see Du Mu's speed clearly, so they were used to it and didn't realize that Du Mu had learned the Night Walker's teleportation ability.

Du Mu used his magic power to place Pietro in front of him, then he stretched out his hand, pressed it on Pietro's shoulder and said, "Come on, follow the Qi running route I gave you."

Pietro didn't understand, but after obediently following Du Mu's instructions and circulating his Qi, he immediately felt a thin but tough layer of Qi on his skin.

"Eh? Master, what is this?" Pietro blinked in surprise.

"A set of body protection skills." Du Mu said casually.

Long before Du Mu was able to hear voices from all over the world, he occasionally heard about how some martial arts masters circulated their internal energy. He had already mastered a large number of martial arts techniques that he had only heard of in name in the past.

What he taught Pietro at this time was the Golden Bell Cover optimized by Du Mu. Unlike the Iron Shirt, which is an external skill that relies purely on practice, the Golden Bell Cover is more of an internal skill that relies on true qi, so it has a weakness.

Of course, the Golden Bell Cover, which had been optimized by Du Mu, had its shield retracted inward and placed on the acupuncture points of the throat. As long as Pietro kept his mouth shut and did not speak, the only way to hurt Pietro was to forcibly break the opponent's protective Qi.

Pietro, who has obtained the optimized version of the Golden Bell Cover, can also get rid of his dependence on goggles and can take better advantage of his speed.

Although Pietro is a speedster, he does not have the magical speed force that can violate all physical laws. Usually, when he is at top speed, he relies on his body to withstand the impact. After obtaining the Golden Bell Cover, he has a stronger protection.

Pietro's physical fitness is also quite special. Although his overall strength is not much higher than that of ordinary people, the strength of his bones is far beyond that of ordinary carbon alloys, and his legs are also very strong... Of course, even if an ordinary person has Pietro's physical fitness, he can only break a world record at most, and it is impossible for him to have a supersonic performance like him. In the final analysis, it is the mutant ability that plays a role.

But when Du Mu taught Pietro the Four Phases Fist, he did not specifically instruct him to use more leg techniques. Because legs are the capital of Pietro's life, he should try not to get hurt if possible.

What's more, the biggest advantage of the Four Phase Fist is that it can mobilize the whole body's strength to attack. Even if Pietro's legs are only strong enough, the attack can still be transmitted to both hands.

Of course... Du Mu looked at Pietro and suggested, "You'd better carry a stabbing weapon with you. It would be a pity if you don't take advantage of your speed. As long as you have enough speed, a simple weapon can exert an attack power that is countless times stronger than a thermal weapon."

Pietro was stunned: "Is this... okay, Master? Won't that kill people?"

Du Mu smiled slightly: "As long as you are accurate enough and only break the opponent's defense, you can naturally save his life."

"But the most important thing is that you have to be able to make this choice, rather than relying on destroying your own martial arts to force yourself to make the choice to save someone's life."

"It is only when you can choose whether to take the life of another that your mercy will be more meaningful."

Pietro nodded as if he understood, but an inexplicable sense of pride rose in his heart as Du Mu spoke.

Can you only be considered kind when you have the ability to take someone else's life but don't do it?
This sounds so cool. I must imitate my master's tone and say it in front of others next time.

However, Du Mu himself did not collect any weapon materials, otherwise he would have given the dagger to Pietro now.

Thinking of this, Du Mu's expression suddenly changed slightly.

By the way, in the Marvel world, there is also a General named Corvus Glaive.

His spear was able to pierce Vision's vibranium body even when the user had average strength, which fully demonstrated how sharp it was.

It might be very suitable to give it to Pietro.

Well...but General Corvus Glaive seems to have his life bound to his spear. As long as the spear is not destroyed, the opponent will not die.

Du Mu didn't care about this at all.

If you don’t die, then don’t die. Sebastian Shaw is not dead either. He is just using him as equipment.

Since he can't die, just make him a vegetable. It will work the same way.

After setting the future development plan for Pietro, Du Mu looked at Kurt, the night walker who had always been relatively taciturn.

Although he still didn't like to talk much, his eyes were more lively and he dared to look people in the eye.

As for his master Du Mu, he had a much deeper respect than his other fellow disciples. He didn't dare to laugh or joke in front of Du Mu, which made him seem to have no sense of existence.

Du Mu was very satisfied with Kurt. Although he looked inconspicuous, he actually had great talent.

The previous power transmission seemed to be of little help to teleportation, but it still allowed Kurt to make considerable progress.

Because the other party can more accurately control what is being teleported through the circulation of true Qi, and the speed and interval of continuous teleportation are also much faster.

For example, if the Red Devil is entangled by someone in close combat, he will be forced to teleport with the opponent.

But for Kurt now, he can simply teleport himself... and his clothes, without being forced to take away everything he touches like the Red Devil.

This shows that Nightcrawler Kurt's potential as a young man is much greater than that of his middle-aged father.

Although they both gained true energy, the Red Devil didn't make any progress, while the Night Walker instantly made the teleportation ability more practical and flexible in actual combat.

It was this improvement that allowed Du Mu to break through through the tenfold feedback and the spatial perception previously enhanced by the power of faith, and gain the most basic teleportation ability.

Du Mu's life field and spatial perception abilities are what Kurt does not possess. Coupled with Du Mu's own extreme speed, Du Mu's basic teleportation ability, which was supposed to be slow, inaccurate, and clumsy, instantly reaches the level of free teleportation around the world, far surpassing the two mutants, Night Walker and Red Devil.

Du Mu thought about it and felt that among his new disciples, Kurt was the one who could help him the most, and he was also the one who needed stronger mental power the most to calculate and locate the position of the teleportation space.

So Du Mu took out a golden apple from his arms.

"Come, Kurt, eat this golden apple. It can enhance your mental strength and should be very helpful to your abilities."

Kurt was slightly stunned, pointed at himself, and then looked at the others.

Finally, he asked uncertainly, "Master...just for me?"

Kurt obviously didn't want other brothers to receive unequal treatment. Du Mu smiled and said, "For now, the golden apple will help you more, so I chose to give it to you. When others need it, I will naturally arrange it."

"Don't think about the messy things, just eat it."

Hearing this, the other people all looked at Kurt encouragingly.

They didn't know what the golden apple was, but since the master said that this thing would help Kurt the most, they naturally wouldn't have any jealous thoughts.

Seeing this, Kurt felt relieved and did not dare to disobey Du Mu's order. Finally, hesitantly, he took the golden apple given by Du Mu and took a bite of it.

After the action of "eating" was performed, the remaining part of the golden apple disappeared instantly and poured into Kurt's mind.

"Ah..." Kurt's eyes were wide open, unable to describe his feelings.

The ultimate sense of security, peace of mind, and fulfillment.

Kurt's expression became more and more relaxed, and countless positive human emotions filled Kurt's heart, making him almost forget the haze of the first half of his life and fall into an extreme peace and tranquility.

At this moment, Du Mu also gained a tenfold increase in his mental power... The mental power of thirty Toms is also a huge leap forward for Du Mu now.

His mind was able to process more information, and he had a clear understanding of the souls and wills of the people around him, almost to the point where he could read their minds at will.

With his powerful mental strength alone, he can almost do things similar to psychics like Professor X.

But because of this, Du Mu frowned slightly as he looked at Kurt who was in a peaceful state.

Then he immediately took out the Mind Stone from his arms, passed through the door of the martial arts gym, condensed a spiritual power under his control in the Marvel Universe, poured it into Kurt's consciousness, and protected the other's original soul and will.

This is why Du Mu only gave Charles one golden apple before and didn't think of giving it to other disciples. It was only with the Mind Gem that Du Mu dared to take the risk.

Now it seems that his previous concerns were correct.

The power of faith contained in a golden apple is too strong. Once the disciple's original mental will is not strong enough, it is likely to be diluted by this huge mental force.

Although it won't turn the person into an idiot, and there's no danger to his life... it's equivalent to dissolving the other person's original self into only a small part. The remaining self is as clean as a baby, and needs to shape its own character and self from scratch.

Changing a person's mind in this way is almost like letting him be reborn.

This state seems to be what many spiritual sects and religions dream of, but it is caused by external forces after all. Du Mu does not want his disciples to completely abandon their past experiences and reincarnate to cultivate their minds.

Fortunately, I now have the Mind Stone, which can keep Kurt's complete self.

Next, all Kurt had to do was wait for time to pass, and he would be able to absorb the power of faith in the golden apple bit by bit.

Well...looking at the current progress, it will probably take about half a year to completely digest it.

At the same time, in order for the Mind Gem to continue to work, it is necessary for the other party to stay in the Marvel Universe. Otherwise, Du Mu will have to keep opening the portal to Marvel to use the power of the gem.

Seeing that the situation had come to this point, Du Mu temporarily gave up the idea of ​​giving the golden apple to other disciples to get feedback.

Kurt came back to his senses from his original confusion as if he had just woken up from a dream, and scratched his head in surprise.

Seeing Kurt's big reaction, Pietro couldn't help but ask curiously: "Kurt, how do you feel?"

"I...I just felt like I had a dream."

Kurt said, with a nostalgic look on his face: "It was a very, very beautiful dream. Although there was nothing in the dream, my heart was very peaceful and tranquil, as if I was back in my childhood, sleeping in my mother's arms on a bed made of down and silk..."

He described it with some hesitation: "It's just like the feeling of having your first childhood wish fully fulfilled."

Pietro blinked, not quite sure what to say.

He knew what happened to Kurt when he was a child.

Mother, down, silk...none of them.

Obviously, what the other party described was just a feeling, and this kind of peace of mind made the other party intoxicated.

It won’t be addictive, right?
Pietro looked at Kurt with some concern.

Du Mu also looked at Kurt, and felt more and more that the golden apple might be a little dangerous to ordinary people with weak wills.

Although the other party will not be physically addicted, if he encounters setbacks in the future, he will probably be like a bankrupt billionaire recalling the wealth he once had, longing to return to the present and re-experience the illusory peace and tranquility.

Still use it with caution.

This kind of process of extracting the impurities from the most devout beliefs of thousands of people and instilling them into one person's spirit can only melt a person's ego.

Du Mu sighed again, fortunately he now has the Mind Gem.

Speaking of Infinity Stones, Du Mu turned his head and looked at Thanos who closed his eyes and remained silent.

He walked forward and picked up Thanos.

Thanos opened his eyes and did not try to struggle, but just looked at Du Mu coldly.

Du Mu didn't care and said to his four disciples: "Now, you go back to Peter's world one by one."

"This Thanos is not the culprit... Now, we have to find trouble with the culprit."

When the four disciples heard this, they immediately became alert.

It turns out that the matter is not over yet, and the master wants to take them to capture the invaders who invaded the earth?
That's great!

So they immediately put blood patches on their bodies again and walked out of the martial arts hall one after another.

Du Mu turned on the high-speed mode the moment Kurt walked out of the martial arts hall and before he was teleported.

Through Kurt's body, Du Mu sensed the New York City of the Marvel world.

The next moment, relying on the ability of teleportation, Du Mu reappeared in Peter's shabby home.

Listening to the voices from around the world, Du Mu held Thanos and smiled.

Very good, now we are finally out of trouble.

When Thanos saw the familiar city, he was stunned.

Is this...Earth?
In the end, the other party relied on the portal that could travel to different universes to return to his home planet and completely left the abyss of the universe.

So...his act of destroying the Space Gem was just a futile effort.

I don't even have the ability to die together with you.

From obtaining information about the future at the beginning, to collecting the power gem and rushing to the earth, he can be said to have done everything he could and tried his best to increase the success rate.

But it was all useless. Even though he had three gems, had given his all from the beginning, and had not been careless at all, there was still no possibility of dying together with them.

Thinking of this, Thanos couldn't help but lower his head and smile at himself.

Although Du Mu could sense Thanos' thoughts, he could even clearly sense the viciousness that the other party was trying to hide deep in his heart.

But the prisoners were like lambs to be slaughtered and posed no threat at all.

Du Mu listened to the world a little and found several things that interested him.

First of all, Nick Fury is not dead.

It is normal for a cunning rabbit to have three burrows.

At the same time, the body of the SHIELD director was not found, and the US government was secretly searching for Nick Fury's whereabouts.

But now Nick Fury was in deep thought, and Du Mu didn't know why he was hiding, nor was he that interested, so he stopped paying attention to him.

Secondly, it turns out that Corvus Glaive and Black Dwarf were hiding deep in the ocean. No wonder Peter and Pietro couldn’t find them.

Finally... in a grassland in Northern Europe, Odin looked dying.

Standing next to him, besides the other party’s two sons, there was also a woman.

A bald woman in a yellow robe.

When Du Mu observed Beiou's situation, the other party also turned around, looked at where Du Mu was, and smiled slightly.

"Ancient One..."

Du Mu whispered the other person's name.

Is this a farewell to Odin?
Or, is Hela waiting to escape after Odin's death?

Since Odin and Ancient One are there, Hela may also appear, so Du Mu naturally has to go there.

He said to his disciples, "Stay in New York for now and help Peter. Tell him that General Corvus Glaive and Black Dwarf are hiding in the seabed. Tell him not to look for them."

"I'm going out for a while now. Before I come back, please don't go back to the martial arts hall."

As Du Mu spoke, his figure disappeared in an instant.

Afterwards, he appeared on the grasslands of Northern Europe with Thanos in his hand, and met Ancient One's eyes.

"Finally we meet..."

Gu Yi looked at Du Mu with a complicated expression.

"A person from another world."
