American comics: Random transformations

This led to a crackdown on all the famous thieves in Gotham, including Catwoman Selina, who was too scared to even leave her house. Those bounty hunters were too crazy!

However, because of their appearance, the number of theft cases in Gotham dropped directly to zero.

This made Commissioner Gordon feel that the previously busy police station had suddenly become idle!

… … … …

After the press conference, in the Lincoln sedan, Jason asked Bruce Wayne with some concern, "Bruce, are you feeling better?"

Batman this morning really scared Jason!

Just at three o'clock in the morning, while they were waiting for Deathstroke at the manor, they suddenly heard a burst of wild laughter coming from the villa. Hearing that somewhat deep laughter, Jason and Tian Xiaoban knew something was wrong!

They rushed to the scene on the third floor as quickly as possible and saw Alfred holding a Remington M870, rushing in one direction.

Batman, on the other hand, was lying on the ground with a painful expression on his face. His clenched teeth and muddy, distracted eyes showed that his mind was suffering some kind of torment.

Before long, Alfred ran back, carrying the terrified Batman on his back to the Batcave.

After putting Batman on the medical equipment, Alfred carefully measured his heart rate and various body data, then gave him an injection of anesthetic. Seeing Batman fall asleep peacefully, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master has been saved! You two don't need to worry," Alfred said, awkwardly smiling as he explained to the two worried people.

"So… Deathstroke escaped?" Tian Xiaoban asked with a curious and heart-stabbing question.

Alfred was choked for a moment, recalling that just a few minutes ago, the master had confidently said that he would solve Deathstroke.

But just a few minutes later, the master was lying on the medical bed, and Alfred didn't know how to explain it, so he could only nod awkwardly.

Returning to the present, Bruce, whose face was still a little pale from the effects of the medicine wearing off not long ago, had just finished a press conference.

That pale and weak body added credibility to the news just now!

Bruce was silent for a moment before responding, "It's okay, Jason, my body is almost better! I'll practice a few sets of punches later, and then get some sleep."

"That's good."

Jason knew how powerful that set of boxing was. Not to mention himself, but Alfred, who was practicing with him, had visibly become "younger" after a week of training.

After leaving Wayne Manor, Slade Wilson returned to his Gotham hotel as soon as possible.

With his powerful brain, the images in his memory reappeared before his eyes, and he quickly replicated everything he saw onto A4 paper.

Looking at the "Self-Cultivation of a Magnetic Field Maniac" that he had dictated, Slade Wilson had some new insights.

He began to organize his equipment. Having offended Bruce Wayne in Gotham, he had to leave quickly.

Before dawn, he had to leave Gotham City.

Sitting in the helicopter he had called, Slade flew towards Hong Kong.

He now needed to find someone, an extremely powerful woman!

Her fighting skills were so powerful that they were unbelievable. She was known in the circle as the world's number one killer, and also one of the strongest martial artists in the world—Lady Shiva.

Slade needed her to help him interpret the boxing techniques behind the secret book. Although there were pictures of the moves, he didn't understand the meridians and stuff marked on them.

Slade was a cautious person. Although he didn't understand those meridian markings, he could still practice by looking at the human body pictures in the book.

But he felt that it would be best to find someone who knew the ropes to ask!

He knew quite a few martial arts masters: Ra's al Ghul, leader of the League of Assassins, cooperating with him would be too much of a loss; Bronze Tiger, although a martial arts master, his philosophy did not match Deathstroke's.

After thinking about it, only Lady Shiva, who was both his teacher and friend, could cooperate.

On the helicopter, he took a few pictures of the boxing techniques and sent them to Lady Shiva.

In less than three minutes, Lady Shiva sent a text message.

Lady Shiva: [Where did it come from? There is a shadow of ancient boxing in these moves! Tell me, Slade.]

Slade smiled slightly and typed: [I snatched it from Batman. His Robin learned this thing, it's very strong!]

Lady Shiva: [Very strong?! Interesting, Slade, to hear you say very strong, I'm a little curious about that Robin. Wait, I'll come find you now.]

Slade: [No, no, no, you don't have to rush, I'm on my way to find you, you should still be in Hong Kong, right?]

Lady Shiva: [Yes, still here. Then, let's meet at the old place!]

Slade: [Okay, see you at the old place.]

… … … … … … … …

The sun sets in the west…

After many twists and turns, changing from a helicopter to a passenger plane, and then taking a taxi, Slade finally arrived at a rural dojo in Hong Kong.

Lady Shiva, dressed in a martial arts uniform, was making tea and waiting for him.

"You're here? Where's the thing?"

That voice was cold and carried a hint of curiosity.

Slade didn't beat around the bush, took out a small stack of A4 paper from his pocket, folded it, and placed it on the coffee table.

Lady Shiva frowned. It wasn't a book in the style of an ancient book? But a stack of unbound A4 paper!

"You don't trust me? Slade, are you trying to fool me with this kind of handwritten copy?"

Slade spread his hands helplessly and explained, "No, the original is still in Batman's hands. This is what I replicated with my powerful memory!"

Slade pointed to his head, "My enhanced person's brain can remember everything I see! It's definitely a one-to-one replica, without missing any punctuation marks!"

Lady Shiva picked up the stack of paper, and the name at the beginning of the paper made her confused for a moment—"Self-Cultivation of a Magnetic Field Maniac"?

Then, skipping the title, she carefully looked at the contents.

She didn't care why the content was in English. She felt that since it was written by a foreigner, it was normal to write in English.

But as she read, she noticed something was wrong!

Why… next to the records about meridians inside, there was a long string of words, using… uh, Chinese pinyin?

Was this pinyin used as an encryption method?! Or, was the person who wrote this thing a Chinese person?!

She read out the sentence spelled out: "Current drive is the foundation, as long as you surpass the limit of current drive, you can obtain the most terrifying power in the world!

Magnetic field rotation!

As long as you can possess magnetic field rotation and can cultivate it without hesitation, you can achieve [strengthening the body], [cell reorganization], [animal abilities], [reading thoughts], [material reorganization], [weather manipulation], and even directly affect the Earth's magnetic field!"

This outrageous and exaggerated introduction made Lady Shiva's heart beat faster involuntarily!

Her hands trembled involuntarily. From that description, she knew how incredible this power was! So much so that she began to doubt whether this thing was real!

"Are you sure that Batman's Robin succeeded?"

Slade Wilson nodded earnestly, still remembering those two electrically charged punches!

"He should have succeeded. Every time he fought me, he would shout 'Electric Current Drive,' and his strength, speed, and agility were able to completely suppress me, an enhanced human!

What do you think of the contents of this book?"

Lady Shiva's face showed a very excited smile:

"Madness, utter madness! The cultivation methods described in it can be said to challenge the physiological limits of the human body! However, I am also very willing to try!"

Slade also showed the same excited smile: "Are you planning electric shock training? Or lightning strike training?"

Lady Shiva didn't answer, but instead asked: "Heh, Slade Wilson, you came to me specifically, you must have your own ideas, right? Tell me about them."

"I want to try lightning strike training! With my self-healing ability, I should be able to withstand it.

However, we are currently lacking thunderstorms! Attracting lightning is not realistic. I think… you should have some other way!"

Lady Shiva narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "Heh heh, for the sake of this book, I'll help you! Let's go, if we're fast enough, we can get there before sunset!"

Slade also said with a smile: "Heh heh, you seem more eager than I am!"

The place they were going to was a private power plant in the suburbs, Lady Shiva's property.

As one of DC's martial arts fanatics, Lady Shiva had also used electric current to train her body, but when she realized that her body could not withstand too much current, she gave up.

The destructive speed of the current exceeded her own self-healing speed. Not only did it not make her stronger, but it also slowed down her progress. So, she stopped the electric current body tempering.

Now, with the "Self-Cultivation of a Magnetic Field Lunatic" given by Slade!

She had the courage to continue practicing. Whether she succeeded or not, it was always right to try!

The car traveled for nearly an hour before they reached their destination.

"Your factory?"

Lady Shiva nodded and introduced:

"Yes, the former owner of this factory came to me for trouble, and I killed him. So, this power plant belongs to me now! What's in my hands, unless I want to give it away, no one can take it!"

Lady Shiva stared at Slade with sharp eyes, expressing the meaning that if you dare to have any crooked thoughts, I will kill you!

Her absolute strength gave her extreme confidence! She was confident that no one could take anything from her!

"Okay, okay, I'm just asking!"

"Let's go, there's plenty of electricity here, and you can control the voltage as you like! Let's see if this secret manual is as powerful as he wrote!"

Lady Shiva led the way, walking towards the inside of the power plant, but she was already almost jogging, full of impatience!

Chapter 35 Leaving Gotham, Repairing the Base (A Warm Home)

The perspective returns to Gotham.

At the gate of Wayne Manor, Tian Xiaoban was saying goodbye to Alfred.

He felt that he now had enough self-preservation ability and that it was time to go out and take a walk, temporarily leaving this ghostly place called Gotham.

Moreover, even if Tian Xiaoban left Gotham, he didn't need to worry about Gotham having problems. With Jason's current power, he was enough to deal with most of Gotham's villains! (Except for those few bug-level characters in Gotham.)

Alfred wanted to persuade him to stay, but Tian Xiaoban refused with an all-purpose reason: the world is so big, he wanted to see it.

Jason didn't care. He made an agreement with Tian Xiaoban, promising that they would have a serious fight when they met next time! Tian Xiaoban readily agreed to this small request.

Alfred knew he couldn't persuade him, so he gave Tian Xiaoban a black card, saying it was a thank you for helping Master Bruce.

Tian Xiaoban gladly accepted it. It was impossible to be without money when traveling outside. With this card, he could live a little more comfortably during his travels.

After saying goodbye to them, Tian Xiaoban walked towards the civilian area of Gotham City.

Due to the appearance of bounty hunters, Gotham, which was originally rampant with crime, had become much cleaner. At least, walking on the street, there was no need to worry about being robbed.

The bored Commissioner Gordon spent his days watching surveillance and practicing boxing, feeling like he had entered retirement life early.

Those police officers who had previously taken leave and were delayed due to the Joker's affairs were all given leave during this rare period of stability.

Tian Xiaoban, who was jumping and advancing on the rooftops in broad daylight, successfully found Selina, who was feeding cats on the roof. After exchanging pleasantries, Tian Xiaoban persuaded her to give up interfering with the Court of Owls.

Catwoman agreed verbally, but whether she would listen to the advice was beyond Tian Xiaoban's control.

"Alright, kid, even if you've grown taller and become more handsome, you're still a kid in my eyes!

You don't need to worry about my affairs. When I was running around in Gotham, you weren't even born yet! I know better than you where the dangers are in Gotham!"

Selina was getting a little annoyed. She believed that in Gotham, as long as she wanted to leave, no one could stop her, not even the Court of Owls!

Tian Xiaoban knew it was useless to persuade her, so he handed over a magic amulet and said with a smile:

"Okay, Aunt Selina, take this. This is a protective tool I created with superpowers. It can withstand one fatal attack. I'll ask Batman to take care of you more!"

Selina snatched it away, followed by a flick on the forehead: "Call me sister, you little bastard!"

Tian Xiaoban dodged nimbly and said to her with a smile: "Hehe, Aunt Selina, I'm planning to leave Gotham. I estimate I'll be gone for a long time, at least a year or more. If anything happens, find Batman. He owes me a favor!"

Selina was silent, her emotions quite complicated. Although this brat demolished her safe house, that house was later renovated by Bruce Wayne at his own expense, and when she asked Bruce why, he said it was Tian Xiaoban's request.

After learning that Tian Xiaoban was following Bruce, she was relieved, but this guy was actually going to leave Gotham? But, it's good to leave…

"It's good to leave Gotham. Go see other cities… When are you leaving?"

"Today, I'll leave after saying hello to you. Don't worry, I'm very strong!" Tian Xiaoban shook the alien watch on his left hand!

Selina smiled slightly, waved her hand, and left the rooftop.

Tian Xiaoban then went to the Gotham Orphanage and gave the old headmaster a large sum of money, explaining that he was making money and that they didn't need to worry.

Just as the headmaster and the others were about to persuade him to stay, Tian Xiaoban said that he was leaving Gotham on a business trip, the road was far, and the time was long, so he came to reminisce.
