Marvel Universe's Ultimate Martial Arts School

"We have an urgent news briefing."

"The Hammer Industries Building, located in Midtown Manhattan, is suspected to have been destroyed by an explosion in its underground laboratory, which caused the entire building to tilt and collapse on a large scale."

"We can see many staff members escaping the building. Let's do some random interviews... Hello, are you an employee of Hammer Industries? What just happened here?"

"I'm from the engineering department. I was just about to go to the restaurant on the second floor when I suddenly felt an earthquake. Everyone was running outside, so I ran out with them. The earthquake lasted for a long time, at least four or five minutes! Look, I can still hear the collapse sounds down below!"

"Do you think this has anything to do with the foundation structure of Hammer Industries? Is it due to its age? As far as I know, this building was constructed in 1986, so it's 22 years old now."

"Impossible!" the engineer exclaimed excitedly. "Our engineering department at Hammer Industries conducts annual inspections of the building. The structure is in excellent condition; there's no way the foundation could have collapsed! This is a terrorist attack, it must be a terrorist attack!"

The female reporter's eyes lit up: "You believe this was a terrorist attack? What evidence or speculation do you have?"

"Of course! Everyone knows Stark Industries has been competing with us for the Department of Defense's top supply chain, this must be their doing! Tony Stark has the capability, his steel machines are fully capable of destroying a building in an instant! And who else could it be?! Stark Industries is using unfair competitive tactics against us! Tony Stark is the murderer! The executioner! Don't cut our footage! You must ensure this interview is presented in its entirety to the citizens of New York!"

The excited shouts drew support from many Hammer Industries employees nearby, who angrily shouted at the camera, and the scene briefly spiraled out of control.

"We're live, okay, okay..." She quickly ended the interview with the man. Iron Man was fine, in fact, it was a juicy exclusive, but it involved downstream competition with the Department of Defense, so whether or not to broadcast it needed careful consideration. She didn't want to lose her job because of the interview: "You can see that the employees of Hammer Industries are very excited right now, having just recovered from such a disaster..."

The voice of the pretty female reporter on TV continued.

Meanwhile, inside the Extreme Martial Arts Gym, Tony Stark stood with his arms crossed, frowning as he stared at the projection screen. Nick Fury had called him earlier to show him the news, so he had just turned it on, only to find this scene.

The surrounding students, however, excitedly shouted, "That's bullshit! Iron Man was clearly with us just now!"

"Yes! I can testify! Hey buddy! If you need witnesses, we can all testify for you!"

The students who had just finished class were incredibly excited.

Today's class was such a surprise! Not only did I see my idol, but I also had the chance to help him.

Stark did not respond, but instead frowned.

Natasha nudged him with her elbow: "What are you thinking? You don't seem like the type to be afraid of these kinds of slanders and accusations."

"Accusations? What accusations?" Stark paused, then sighed. "I was just wondering what that female reporter's name was. Judging from her accent, her Spanish must be pretty good. Hey, where do you think she's from? Maybe I could ask her to be my tutor..."

"You already have enough tutors!" Natasha exhaled, she shouldn't have worried about the world's largest penis at all.

Stark grinned.

Joking aside, he wasn't actually looking at the female reporter; his frown just now clearly wasn't because of any tutor.

Of course, it wasn't because of the baseless accusations made by those people at Hammer Industries.

It was the lobby of this extreme martial arts gym.

Strangely, he felt as if he had been here before, with a strange sense of familiarity.

"In the video you showed me that night..." Stark hesitated for a moment, then asked Natasha, "Was there any footage of the interior of this martial arts gym?"

"No, why are you asking that?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Stark shook his head.

Am I overthinking things?

I heard that this martial arts school used to be a law firm; perhaps I really have been there.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw a man walk in through the gate of the martial arts school.

Around thirty years old, 1.95 meters tall, with black hair and black eyes, his deep eyes seemed to hold the stars.

Stark had seen his video; he was Lin Feng, the master of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

But it was at this moment when he saw Lin Feng that Stark's body suddenly froze. He felt a sudden palpitation and fear, as if this man had caused him great harm. However, he was not evil. Instead, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if they had known each other for many years.

This feeling... is like that of lovers who love and hate each other.

But... this is a damn lover, I'm not gay!

Moreover, apart from the video that night, I had never actually seen the other person before!

Stark froze for a moment, his brain momentarily blanking out.

But then he saw Lin Feng walking straight towards him.

For the first time in his life, Stark felt nervous. In his entire life, the only time he had felt this kind of tension was when he was suddenly attacked in Afghanistan.

But at this moment, it was so intense and persistent that I forgot my smooth talk and my habit of subconsciously taking the initiative in every first meeting.

He stood there blankly, like an obedient schoolboy, until Lin Fengchong extended his hand to him: "Hello, Tony Stark."

Stark was still in a daze, looking at the hand extended to him, somewhat at a loss.

Natasha, on the other hand, seemed a little flattered and quickly nudged him with her elbow, lowering her voice to remind him, "Mr. Stark? Mr. Stark?"

"Ah..." Tony Stark finally snapped out of his daze, instinctively reaching out his hand. "Have we met somewhere before?"

Lin Feng smiled, not surprised at all.

Gu Yi had already explained it very clearly to him.

Time travel is not about reorganizing everything, but simply about shifting the dimension of time to bring back the past that has already passed.

To put it simply, this is a universal law.

While the laws of the universe can certainly interfere with the universe, if the thing being tried to change also contains other laws, it will be subject to certain obstacles. Ultimately, who interferes with whom depends on whose understanding of the laws is more profound and whose energy is more abundant.

Tony Stark is the kind of person cursed by knowledge, unique even in his own world. After all, there is only one Machine God over hundreds of millions of years, so it can also be called a phenomenon of the laws of the universe.

Perhaps he hasn't yet developed his true potential for the laws of wisdom, but at least it exists. So even if the Ancient One reversed time and space, she couldn't completely erase his memories, leaving him with some emotions and impressions from the nuclear explosion.

Of course, with his current strength, he definitely wouldn't remember what exactly happened.

Lin Feng smiled, not intending to explain these things to the other party.

Just as the Ancient One tested herself, Stark has also tested his own character.

In the instant of the nuclear explosion, his reaction was not to escape alone. Knowing that he was not fast enough, he still chose to increase his load to save two people, one of whom was a complete stranger to him, although he could not save him...

But his true nature is already clear, so there's no need for another test.

He needs to grow, but that can be done gradually.

Right now, whether it's running the martial arts school, training disciples, or holding seminars with the Ancient One, plus the most important thing is personal cultivation.

My time is precious, so it's better to be direct.

"We'll meet again later," Lin Feng said bluntly. "I know why you're here. I can solve your palladium poisoning problem, remove the shrapnel from your blood, and teach you gene energy cultivation. Of course, if you're more interested in technology, I have something even cooler than your Iron Man suit that I can teach you. But before that, I have to tell you something."

"All of this is predicated on you becoming my disciple, not just as a student in the martial arts school, but as a true master and disciple. There's an old Chinese saying, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.'" Lin Feng looked at him calmly. "You must treat me like a father. Can you accept that?"

What's going on?

Natasha, standing nearby, gaped in surprise, while the other students around her wore expressions of envy.

Tony Stark was taken aback; he hadn't even spoken yet.

Damn it, Nick Fury told me how difficult this gym leader was, what a load of rubbish! He made me prepare for two or three days for nothing, thinking I'd have to fight him to show off my strength or something.

As for the other party's so-called "a teacher for a day is a father for life"... but they are trying to save their own lives.

That's it?

If his long-deceased mother knew, she would be overjoyed. This museum owner is much more handsome than his research-obsessed father! And much younger!

No wonder this place felt strangely familiar, and I even felt like I had a love-hate relationship with the owner of this building...

"Oh, dear Daddy!" Tony Stark spread his hands without hesitation. "Save your son now, immediately!"
