I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Banner was originally taught some of Steve's combat skills, but now Banner's combat skills are arguably far superior to Steve's.

So Steve went straight to Banner and asked, "How should we practice now?"

"The metal in the training ground is graded."

"The weights are 50 tons, 100 tons, 150 tons, 200 tons, and a maximum of 2,000 tons."

"The training we need to do is to attack these special metals, no matter what kind of attack method is used, the goal is to shake these metals."

After hearing this, Banner immediately began explaining it to Steve and the others.

"How many tons of metal did the residual effects of Lacey's attack spread to?"

Steve was somewhat alarmed when he heard about these tonnage figures, but remembering his own defeat, he immediately asked about them.

“It weighs five hundred tons, but you'd better not use Lacey as a representative example right now.”

"Because Lacey's strength is terrifying, but simply using brute force is not enough to easily shake that metal mountain."

"Instead, she had mastered a more exquisite technique, which allowed her to directly cause that metal mountain to tremble."

Banner understood Steve's competitive spirit after hearing his words, and in order to prevent Steve from doing something futile, he explained everything clearly.

Lacey could easily quell the impact that Steve unleashed.

Lacey's control over her power is so strong that even Banner can't comprehend it, let alone Steve, whose skills are even worse.

"You mean she can move that metal mountain with the same strength as me, but I can't?"

Steve found it hard to accept this.

You can understand it that way.

Banner nodded in agreement without denying it.

He used to believe that strength was everything, but ever since he witnessed Kyle's terrifying skill of breaking through a door with a single blow...

He also knew that even if their strengths were similar, it didn't mean they would necessarily exert the same amount of power.

"I'll give it a try."

Upon hearing Banner's words, Steve immediately arrived at a massive metal mountain, tens of meters high, standing five hundred meters away.

Steve clenched his fists, veins bulging all over his body, his gaze fixed on the mountain in front of him.

With a "bang!", his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next second, Steve, with speed and power boosted to near its limit, unleashed his full strength with his hands and shoulders, striking the mountain with tremendous force.

A loud "Clang!" rang out in the sky.

However, the metal mountain only trembled once and showed no signs of continuous shaking.

Steve felt like he was facing an absolutely unshakeable mountain; the force of the impact sent him flying backward.

Steve crashed heavily to the ground, his hands and shoulders tingling, and bright red blood flowed directly from them.

Lying on the ground, Steve stared at the massive metal mountain that resembled a colossal building, his eyes filled with shock.

He couldn't understand why Lacey, using the same strength as him, was able to shake this metal mountain from hundreds of meters away.

The speed he unleashed with all his might to attack the mountain only caused it to tremble slightly, reflecting the force he had unleashed back onto himself, and he ended up suffering a great loss.

I didn't have time to tell you earlier.

"This metal is called Shock Gold. If you only use brute force to attack its surface..."

"It will bring most of the impact to the surface and spread it out."

"So at the beginning, we not only have to find a way to shake it, but also have to be careful to withstand the backlash. If we can't dodge it in time, we have to quickly dissipate the impact."

"When you can launch a sustained attack and continuously shake it for ten minutes, and ensure that you only suffer some minor injuries or even no injury at all."

"Then the foundation has been laid."

Banner quickly came to Steve's side, helped him up, and said apologetically.

"Next time you explain something, please prioritize the points to note."

Steve, helped up by Banner, heard these belated explanations and the stringent conditions for meeting the requirements, and felt somewhat helpless.

"Banner, have you laid a solid foundation?"

Pepper asked, sounding somewhat concerned, after hearing this.

"I can face most impacts without dodging or avoiding them, which makes my training more difficult."

"According to Kyle, I need to be able to unleash my strongest attacks continuously for at least half an hour without taking any damage in order to have a solid foundation."

"Currently, I can only maintain a high-intensity offensive for a maximum of eighteen minutes without injury."

"Every second that followed was like torture, and it was very easy to make a mistake."

Upon hearing this, Banner explained his training progress.

This requirement seemed difficult, but Kyle had demonstrated it to him: thirty consecutive minutes of attacks without taking damage.

Kyle also said that once he has a solid foundation, even without mastering the soft power, his strength will definitely be much greater than before.

Because the impact of the oscillating metal feedback is not fixed in one direction, the only way to avoid it is to detect it immediately and then choose to withstand it or dodge it.

Therefore, this also hones one's sense of combat.

Chapter 383 Training Begins

When Steve heard Banner's demands, which were far higher than his own, he also wanted to compete with Banner.

Even if she didn't want to fight him, she had no choice, because Lacey had said she wanted to catch up with a strong person like Banner, who had a very high starting point.

Superior skill and a leading number of evolutions are both indispensable.

"Let me ask you this: can Tony shake this vibrating metal without getting hurt?"

However, Steve knew that these requirements were not so easy to meet, so he asked a question.

"Tony can even handle an arena."

"So Tony had already met the requirements three years ago. You could say that this was something Tony and Renoir had already done."

Banner spoke up upon hearing this.

Even if his explosive power is stronger than Tony's.

However, when he faced Tony, it was not because Tony intentionally wanted to confront him head-on.

If it were a serious battle, his lightning-fast speed would leave him feeling powerless, unable to unleash his full potential.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have embarked on the path of becoming a tanky character who could be dealt with by simply withstanding the attacks and capturing Tony once, all because of that sense of powerlessness.

In terms of combat skills, Tony might not be as good as Lacey, who can only be described as terrifying, but he is also no match for the battle-hardened Kyle, Renoir, and the Precognitive.

But Tony's level is at most below theirs.

That's enough. After all, Tony didn't win entirely through combat skills, but rather with the help of the armor he developed, which allowed him to unleash his strongest power.

"Got it. Banner, what tonnage of vibrating metal do you think I should start training with?"

When Steve heard that it was something Tony and his team had already done, his eyes flickered for a moment before hardening into a determined look.

Lacey's requirement to lay a solid foundation is definitely not a standard condition of the Void Cult, but rather a more stringent condition for passing, similar to Kyle's.

He wanted to avoid being completely left behind by Tony and Banner in the future, so he had to hold himself to even higher standards.

He might even have to stay on the monster planet for eight to ten years to allow his evolutionary progress to catch up with and surpass it before he has a chance.

Although Steve is currently focused on Earth and cannot yet reside permanently on the monster planet, training is something that must begin.

He also planned to bring some shock metal back with him when he was ready to return to Earth.

If one month isn't enough, then try six months; if six months isn't enough, then try a year.

He needed to lay a solid foundation before he could feel at ease asking Lacey to teach him more refined combat techniques.

"I can't say for sure. Normally, members who have just joined the Void God Cult and haven't evolved enough start from fifty tons."

"Steve, I don't know exactly how many times you've evolved, but it should be at least 140 times."

"So you can start with a hundred tons and then find a suitable metal to begin training."

Banner spoke up upon hearing this.

Tony didn't come today because he was discussing some things with Damm about the sublight thruster engine.

Moreover, it was just basic training, not a gravity chamber, so Banner was only there to explain the situation and things to be careful about; he wouldn't stay there to watch them train.

"The New Year has just passed, so most members of the Void God Cult are on rest."

"Once they have rested and started their daily training, you can observe their attacks or directly exchange ideas with them."

“Even occasional sparring sessions will definitely benefit you a lot.”

"There is so much to learn to truly survive in a world of the strong, so let's take it slow."

Banner then offered some advice to Steve, Peggy, and Pepper.

They joined the Void God Cult, leaving behind their original ordinary and safe world and embarking on a world where strength determines everything.

Even after entering the world of the strong, one can choose to be lazy, go out less, and keep a low profile; it's not impossible to survive.

If you want to thrive in the world of the strong and become the strongest among the strong, then you cannot afford to be complacent.

"Okay, then you can go ahead and get busy."

After hearing Banner's words, Steve completely understood what to do.

“Miss Pepper and Miss Peggy, if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me or Tony.”

Banner, seeing that Steve understood, looked at Pepper and Peggy and said with a smile.

"We'll think it over carefully."

Pepper nodded upon hearing this.

She also knew that if Tony taught her personally, she would be able to achieve results more quickly.

However, Tony was also busy with important matters and had a lot of research to do, so Pepper chose to try not to disturb Tony and figure it out on her own.
