Teacher, is something the matter?" Pyro John saw Huang Wen's gaze and quickly went to his side, asking with a smile.
"Hmph!" Iceman Bobby, who was nearby, felt an innate disdain for Pyro John's behavior. In his opinion, no matter how powerful Huang Wen was, he wasn't a mutant and couldn't help mutants become stronger. Pyro John's actions were undoubtedly an embarrassment to mutants.
"You won't need to carry this lighter anymore," Huang Wen said with a smile, transmitting his voice as he looked at the lighter Pyro John had been holding.
Unlike Iceman Bobby, who could create ice out of thin air, and unlike Human Torch of the Fantastic Four, or Sunspot of the X-Men, Pyro John was the only fire-elementalist who couldn't generate flames with his own abilities, but rather relied on external flames to control them.
Moreover, the most crucial point was that if he encountered a similar fire-elementalist, Pyro John probably wouldn't be able to control the opponent's flames, and his own lighter's flame would definitely be inferior.
For example, Human Torch's flames, even though they were natural fire, could still reach temperatures of thousands of degrees, and even reach the level of a nova explosion at their limit. More importantly, Human Torch could fly!
However, once Huang Wen began teaching Pyro John the 'Ice and Fire Palm,' Pyro John would no longer need to carry a lighter. Not only would his fire abilities strengthen, but he would also gain new ice abilities. By then, the name 'Pyro' might even be inaccurate.
"Really?!" Pyro John exclaimed in surprise, only to find the people around him looking at him with a hint of confusion, as if they didn't understand why he had suddenly cried out.
"Only you could hear what I just said. Alright, we can go down now. Go help them rescue those mutant children; consider it repaying the care you received at the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters!" Huang Wen shook his head with a smile and transmitted his voice to Pyro John again.
"I understand, thank you, Teacher!" Pyro John, believing this was a test from Huang Wen, quickly nodded and solemnly promised, "I will definitely complete the task you've given me!"
"Crack!" A hole was opened in the ground by the metal pipes below. Magneto looked at Huang Wen with a somewhat arrogant expression, then put on his helmet, which blocked psychic powers, and entered the underground opening. Mystique and the X-Men quickly followed.
"What did you say to him?" Logan, Huang Wen, and Pyro John were walking at the very back. Logan leaned towards Huang Wen and asked in a low voice.
"Nothing much, I just thought of a martial art suitable for him," Huang Wen said, shaking his head with a smile. "He won't need to carry that lighter around anymore."
"There's a martial art like that?!" Logan's eyes lit up, staring intently at Huang Wen. "Is there any martial art suitable for me? Besides the kind that can enhance spiritual consciousness..."
"There actually is a martial art suitable for you, and it also counts as enhancing spiritual and conscious power." Huang Wen thought of the 'Indestructible Divine Art,' where a golden body, once unbroken, cannot be shaken by external forces.
Combined with abilities like invincibility, immunity to all poisons, fearlessness of water and fire, and an indestructible body, it was simply too perfect for Logan and fitting for the title of Wolverine.
Of course, the 'immunity to all poisons' ability wouldn't be very useful for Logan, and 'invincibility' probably wouldn't surpass his Adamantium claws, but at least it would give Logan true tank-like abilities, so he wouldn't be sent flying by giant opponents like the Hulk anymore.
However, there was still a major problem: Logan didn't have inner energy, and everything would have to be learned from scratch.
"Really?" Logan's eyes were practically glowing. Huang Wen even felt like a beast was staring at him.
"Have I ever lied to you? Maybe you'll get to see this martial art in a moment..." Huang Wen glanced meaningfully at Magneto. Just then, countless soldiers rushed out.
"Snap!" Magneto waved his hand, and the grenades on the soldiers' waists instantly had their pins pulled. They exploded before even reaching the group.
"Quick! Stop them!" William Stryker, who was outside the Cerebro, immediately gave orders. "No one is allowed to pass. Anyone who dares to approach will be killed, including me!"
William Stryker clearly knew Mystique's abilities, but at this moment, he also knew that if he didn't leave now, he truly wouldn't be able to. He didn't understand why Magneto and the others had appeared here silently; he had clearly monitored the surrounding radar signals.
"Your companions and those children are waiting for you to rescue them," Magneto said with a smile, looking at Jean Grey and the others. "They're over there. Can you hear their calls?"
"What about Professor?" Jean Grey looked at Magneto with some hesitation. Clearly, Jean Grey didn't quite trust Magneto.
"Don't worry, I've known Charles much longer than you all have. I will guarantee his safety," Magneto said with a faint smile, not taking Jean Grey's suspicion to heart. However, his peripheral vision glanced at Huang Wen. Magneto was still somewhat wary of this so-called inheritor of ancient Chinese boxing.
Especially since, in Magneto's eyes, although he had the power to instantly kill Huang Wen, Huang Wen's ability to put him to sleep could also instantly kill him. Magneto couldn't afford to be careless.
"Adamantium..." Huang Wen didn't concern himself with Magneto at the moment, as it would still take time for Magneto to find Charles's location. However, Huang Wen had set his sights on the Adamantium. "But the drawback of not having a storage space has appeared; I don't seem to be able to carry it..."
"Okay, then we'll go save the children first!" Jean Grey and the others nodded and headed in the direction of the sound.
"I'm going too!" Pyro John saw Huang Wen's gaze and also ran over.
"What are you following for? Didn't you take that ordinary person as your teacher?" Iceman Bobby looked at Pyro John with some displeasure. "This is our mutant business; it has nothing to do with you anymore!"
"Helping out is my business, and it has nothing to do with you!" Pyro John looked at Iceman Bobby with disdain. In Pyro John's opinion, as long as he could create fire himself, Iceman Bobby was not worth mentioning!
"And you? Mr. Huang?" Magneto didn't go to look for Charles but instead looked at Huang Wen and smiled, "What are your plans for coming along?"
"Naturally, it's to help Uncle Wolf retrieve his memories and avenge him along the way," Huang Wen patted Logan's shoulder. "Let's go, Uncle Wolf. This is where you first transformed, and it's also a place full of pain for you. Here, you should be able to find some of your memories..."
"Some memories? Revenge?" Logan looked around the unfamiliar yet familiar environment, subconsciously walking forward. Huang Wen quickly followed. That Lady Deathstrike, who had abilities similar to Logan's, submerging herself in Adamantium liquid, was quite a pity.
