Marvel Universe's Ultimate Martial Arts School

"At your level, martial artists can be roughly divided into three levels."

"Warrior-class, possessing a strength of 900-4000 kilograms and a speed of 25-60 meters per second."

"Warrior-class, with a strength of 8000 to 32000 kilograms and a speed of 90 to 180 meters per second."

"When you transform into the Hulk, you belong to this level," Lin Feng said. "Your speed might be slightly lacking, but your strength is more than enough; it's a difference in focus."

"And the next stage is the God of War."

"For normal spiritual practice, it requires the accumulation of energy over time, allowing the body's energy to reach saturation and then undergo a qualitative change."

"But there is a shortcut." Lin Feng took out the Spirit of Plants: "This Spirit of Plants contains endless life essence. Just one can help you transform and enter the ranks of the God of War."

"You are the first student in the martial arts school to successfully cultivate genetic energy, and also the first one I accepted as my disciple."

"As the senior disciple of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, after helping you break through this time, you must not slack off in your training. You must know that the path of training is endless."

"Yes, teacher!"

Banner looked somewhat excited; he had already experienced the wonders of cultivation.

It's not just about improving physical fitness; it's about experiencing a continuous evolution of a life level, like an addictive drug.

I thought it would take at least one or two years to reach the God of War realm that my teacher mentioned, but I never expected there to be such a shortcut.

He swallowed it whole, just as Lin Feng had instructed.

A cool sensation traveled down my throat to my stomach, followed by a surge of energy that seemed to burst forth from my body.

"Now, sit cross-legged with your five palms facing the sky!"

"Without drawing energy from the universe, simply run the second half of the Gene Energy Cultivation Method to mobilize all the gene energy within your body."

"Genetic energy exists within the cells of your body. Controlling genetic energy is equivalent to controlling the cells within your body. Carefully sense them, amplify them, and accept the baptism and permeation of the source of life..."

Lin Feng kept reminding him, and Banner felt his body being constantly "opened up." When his consciousness delved into the control of the genetic energy, his body cells were "expanded." The evolution of the plant spirits that were constantly spreading from his body began to surge in, making Banner feel as if he were bathing in the most comfortable hot spring.

Comfortable!

Lin Feng had used this thing when he was at the War General level, so he knew its effects and process; he was just waiting patiently.

But soon, Lin Feng realized that something was wrong.

Banner's aura and level of attainment are constantly improving.

Warrior, intermediate warrior, advanced warrior, and even... junior general!

Even after his body had completely absorbed the essence of the plant spirits, the system notification that the student had entered the War God realm still hadn't appeared.

According to the deduction, the Hulk cells in Banner's body were originally one with him. If the main body improved, the Hulk cells should have improved accordingly, but there was no reaction at all.

This is not in line with common sense, or at least it does not conform to one's own understanding.

While Banner was still basking in the joy of the upgrade, Lin Feng used the system to check Banner's status again.

As an ordinary person, he has transformed into a novice warrior under the powerful energy nourishment of the spirits of plants and trees. This is even though his body's endurance has reached its limit, resulting in a large amount of life essence being wasted.

The Hulk mutant hidden within him, according to the system's assessment, remained unchanged in strength and was still a high-level warrior.

After much thought, Lin Feng felt there was only one possibility...

"Have you ever communicated with the thing hidden inside you?" Lin Feng asked Banner.

"...Yes." Banner hesitated slightly.

He was a little puzzled by the teacher's question today. In the past, the teacher did not acknowledge that the Hulk cells in his body were "life," but rather emphasized that they were just a mutation, or even a disease.

But the teacher's tone just now seemed to have changed his mind. He hadn't talked much about this before because he was afraid of upsetting the teacher.

"Its name is Hulk," Banner said.

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat; the probability of that possibility had clearly increased.

Do you believe it is you?

"I don't know either." Banner thought hard. "Sometimes I feel like it's me, and sometimes I feel like it's a second personality of mine. But to be honest, I've always had a very privileged life, and the education I received has prevented me from ever having a violent side. In fact, I hate violence from the bottom of my heart... I don't really believe that I have such a hidden personality."

"So sometimes, I still feel that it is an independent entity."

"We communicate, although it is mostly irritable and doesn't really like me, but it still talks to me, by yelling."

"But to say it's an independent entity, I really don't understand where it exists?"

"However, we can share knowledge, but it's mostly me sharing with it. Its consciousness is still like a child, it doesn't understand much. I think that's the main reason why I can take control of the body. Sometimes communicating with it is quite interesting..."

"Also, it's very quiet when it's in the martial arts gym. I feel like it's afraid of you, teacher."

After listening to Banner's continued explanation, Lin Feng roughly understood.

To be honest, even Raymond Lam couldn't help but feel a little envious of Banner.

It has an independent personality, independent consciousness and character, and a body completely different from Banner's own.

At the same time, and most importantly, Hulk's consciousness is like that of a child. Apart from being irritable, he is basically a blank slate, relying entirely on absorbing Banner's life experiences to complete his understanding of the world.

This alone is enough to prove that "Hulk" is not Banner's second personality.

It's practically confirmed now.

The Hulk did not lurk inside Banner's body through cellular mutation.

Rather, it is a special ability possessed only by Lord Luo Feng among the human race on Earth, which has evolved over 100,000 years in another world: clones!

Perhaps due to the mutations caused by gamma rays, Banner has become an Inhuman with special supernatural abilities, namely creating clones and a unique space to house them.

As for his inability to sense where his clone usually hides...

This is normal. After all, given that he has only just begun to understand gene energy cultivation, making him understand this is no less difficult than making a kindergarten child understand calculus!

Not everyone exposed to gamma rays can undergo such a mutation.

Like the Abomination he had killed before, he remained in his green, bulky form, unable to transform back, and failed to awaken a clone ability like Banner's.

This guy really hit the jackpot!

"It might truly be an independent entity."

"You can't sense where it is right now simply because your level of cultivation is too low, and you haven't yet come into contact with true cultivation. You can't even sense the sea of ​​consciousness."

"But that's okay, you'll soon feel it, even... perfectly control it!"

With Banner possessing a clone, his value for development immediately rose to the top of Lin Feng's mind, almost equivalent to Peter Parker with 30% brain capacity.

After all, having clones has many advantages. Besides combat, it can also be used in cultivation, where two clones can be used as one.

The clones can share various cultivation insights and understandings, and can even achieve energy sharing and complementarity. After reaching the cosmic level, the influence of the original brain domain gradually diminishes, and the potential of these clones may even surpass that of Peter Parker.

Banner is definitely someone who deserves to be nurtured.

Lin Feng felt cheerful. Even though he had just 'wasted' a plant spirit, he took out a second one without hesitation.

"And now, awaken the thing inside you!" Lin Fengchong said.

Banner had just absorbed the spirit of plants and trees once, and his human body was already saturated. Giving him more wouldn't allow him to absorb much more, which would be a pure waste.

But the Hulk is different.

Having shared Banner's knowledge, it learned how to cultivate genetic energy. With its advanced warrior level and the powerful cellular activity described by Banner, a single plant spirit would definitely be enough to elevate it to the level of a war god!

It seems that the apprentices I will have to train in the future are not only Banner, but also the Hulk inside him!
