America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

No form is eternal and unchanging.

"It shouldn't be like this," the Great Sage Yellow Wind murmured.

"What shouldn't it be like?" Liqun looked at it in confusion.

“Your process of winning against me,” Huang Feng Dasheng said, looking up at Li Qun.

"I don't understand." Li Qun tilted his head.

Consciousness is the foundation of cognition, and form is the basis of the body. When the two come together in Liqun's body, they undergo a wonderful change that Liqun cannot describe. The words of the Great Sage Huangfeng distracted him.

"You should first suffer the full force of the Samadhi Divine Wind here, then inquire about how to counter it, then go to the Rat Kingdom to undergo numerous trials to obtain the magic weapon, the Wind-Fixing Pearl, and finally compete with me to determine the victor."

"Instead of you pressing the Great Sage's Ruyi Jingu Bang down on me until I yell for it to stop."

The Great Sage Huangfeng exuded resentment.

"However, I also learned new spells, and the process wasn't much different."

"You don't have the Wind-Fixing Pill, nor the Flying Dragon Staff..."

The white-robed monk stood behind Li Qun, clasped his hands together, and chanted a Buddhist prayer.

If Li Qun fails to defeat Huang Feng Dasheng this time, he plans to instruct Li Qun to follow the procedures set by Huang Feng Dasheng and go to the Rat Kingdom to retrieve the Wind-Fixing Pearl.

If even if we can't win by using the Wind-Fixing Pearl to counter the Samadhi Divine Wind, then let Liqun go and find the Flying Dragon Staff.

Li Qun can win by throwing the Flying Dragon Staff.

“I remember now, what were you trying to say about who taught me my magic?” Li Qun asked.

“It’s that person,” said the Great Sage Huang Feng.

Who exactly is it?

Yellow Wind Great Sage frowned and fell silent.

Huang Feng Dasheng instantly realized that he had misunderstood, and that Li Qun was trying to extract information from him.

"Alright, you can go back now."

The Great Sage Huang Feng glanced at Li Qun, then waved his hand, sending a divine wind that blew onto Li Qun.

Li Qun changed his clothes.

"This looks much better; he can be considered a traveler now."

Li Qun wore a headband, a white and blue robe, wristbands, knee pads, and cloth shoes.

"I can't take this outfit with me."

"Wearing it makes me feel light and airy."

Liqun touched the headband on his head; it came off easily. Luckily, he could remove it, otherwise Liqun would have suspected that he had been put under the spell of the Yellow Wind Monkey King.

……

……

When Li Qun opened his eyes, he looked up and saw Bruce Banner's green eyes. Dr. Banner was not idle either; he was using magic to study Li Qun's physical condition.

“I cannot find the dimension your spirit has traveled to,” Dr. Banner said to Liqun.

"Isn't it too far?"

Dr. Banner shook his head.

"You still lost, didn't you?" Dr. Banner asked.

“We won.” Li Qun smiled at Dr. Banner.

"It was very sudden."

"Yes, a little."

"However, I think it's suggestive."

"I suddenly had a strong feeling that I could win."

Li Qun raised his arm, and in a daze, he felt that he was still wearing the pilgrim's outfit that the Yellow Wind Great Sage had given him.

Just as he thought this, the Traveler's Robe appeared on Li Qun's body.

"You learned it by stealing?"

"I did not steal any other spells."

"Just now, I had a feeling in my mind that I might be wearing this outfit, and suddenly the outfit appeared."

The old man approached Liqun with great interest and curiously examined Liqun's straight robe.

"Anything else? Let's think about trying them on too," the old man said to Liqun.

Li Qun thought for a moment, then changed his entire attire to that of a wandering monk.

"Are you really going to become Sun Wukong?" Bruce Banner asked in surprise. Li Qun's outfit made it seem like he was going on a pilgrimage to the West.

“The traveler’s attire is very common, just like a priest always dresses the same way,” the old man said.

"I'll change back."

As soon as Li Qun had this thought, his traveler's attire vanished into the wind.

Amidst the changes, Li Qun grasped a glimmer of inspiration—the power brought by the Great Sage's Color Essence.

Li Qun attempted to explain the superpowers bestowed upon him by the Form Aura. The theory of the Form Aura is a theory that explains the changes in oneself and external things, and the Great Sage is proficient in change, so the Form Aura interferes with the impermanent changes in himself and the external world, making them seem like constant changes.

In other words, Li Qun was able to master the Seventy-Two Transformations by developing the power of color essence.

The idea is still quite appealing.

Li Qun tried it out, and could only conjure up clothes for himself to wear.

Li Qun told Bruce Banner about his bold hypothesis, and Dr. Banner looked very serious.

Transfiguration magic is classified as an extremely dangerous category in Kamar-Taj.

His transformation into the Hulk is quite "dangerous." It doesn't matter whether it's the Hulk or Banner who's in danger.

Bruce Banner advised Lillian not to try to transform himself into something else.

Just having to conjure up clothes to wear isn't that worrying.

"I feel incredibly healthy right now!"

“After all, what you obtained was the essence of form…” Banner said.

“Take a physical fitness test when you have some free time,” Banner suggested to Li Qun.

"Don't we need to use medical equipment to check our bodies?" Li Qun asked.

"The power of color essence can also be attributed to magical enhancement. Scientific instruments may not be able to detect it; we need magical instruments to do so," Banner said.

"Don't rush to leave the school on Monday. We'd like to use your school's facilities for a bit."

"Is the physical fitness test being conducted in a mirror dimension?" Li Qun asked.

"Otherwise, where else would you like to have your physical exam?" Dr. Banner retorted.

……

After obtaining the Great Sage's Essence, Liqun no longer felt tired and was so energetic that he seemed to have no need to sleep.

The Great Sage's energy seemed to have expanded his stamina and stamina bars to an extremely exaggerated degree, and the physical and mental exertion of daily life could not keep up with his self-recovery speed.

Li Qun opened his personal attribute panel for the first time in a long time.

Constitution: 31 (Limit Breakthrough)

Vitality: 31 (Limit Breakthrough)

Without needing to adhere to any stereotypical labels, the Great Sage's essence directly helped Liqun break free from the shackles of human life.

Form is impermanent, and life that depends on form is naturally uneasy and imperfect. Those who cannot control their form will suffer endless "suffering".

Chapter 117 Medium-sized Superpowered Individual

In New York, a sudden improvement in weather during winter can make headlines.

On Monday, temperatures rose unusually, reaching a high of 16°C.

"Dr. Banner, did you make this?"

"I have no interest in using magic to influence people's daily lives."

"So this isn't magic?"

"Life is full of strange things. Don't assume that everything you think is abnormal is just magic playing tricks."

“I can prove that Banner did nothing,” the Wizard King said from the side.

Bruce Banner, Master Wang, and Li Qun are in a mirror dimension. Thanks to the good weather in the real world, the outdoor track and field of Midtown High School allows Li Qun to show off his physical abilities without any worries.

"The first event is the 100-meter dash."

Li Qun stood at the starting line, looking very relaxed. Wang held up the signal gun, while Bruce Banner stood at the finish line with a stopwatch in his hand.

"Bang!!"

Li Qun dashed off like an arrow, while Bruce Banner kept his eyes fixed on the finish line and pressed the stopwatch as Li Qun crossed it.

"8.16 seconds."

"Breaked the world record for normal people." Bruce Banner recorded the results on Li Qun's physical fitness test form.

“Test it twice more,” Banner said.

Liqun jogged back to the starting point, and Master Wang reloaded the ammunition into the signal gun.

"Bang!!"

"7.97 seconds."
