Master! I have inner energy! I have my own inner energy! I succeeded!" When Huang Liang completely mastered this trace of inner energy, he jumped up excitedly. After all, Huang Liang was only a fifteen-year-old boy, and how could he not be excited after possessing such an extraordinary ability as inner energy?
"Alright, with the little inner energy you have now, you probably can't even perform a single pressure point attack. You still have a lot to do..." Huang Wen shook his head with a smile, dampening the excited Huang Liang's spirits.
Huang Liang was not like Huang Wen, who could directly obtain the optimized inner energy of Bai Zhantang. Huang Wen could only help Huang Liang lay the foundation for now. The accumulation of inner energy still depended on Huang Liang himself, unless Huang Wen could acquire special abilities or items in the future to help Huang Liang improve his inner energy.
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely strengthen my inner energy as soon as possible!" Huang Liang took a deep breath and looked at Huang Wen with a determined expression.
"I believe you..." Huang Wen looked at the ambitious Huang Liang and nodded with a smile, but in his heart, Huang Wen was not optimistic that Huang Liang could quickly strengthen his inner energy. One must know how many years it took Bai Zhantang to possess inner energy close to legendary. Therefore, Huang Wen felt that he should find an opportunity to give Huang Liang a new cultivation method in the future.
"By the way, when practicing, it's best to find a quiet place and avoid being disturbed by others," Huang Wen reminded Huang Liang seriously.
"I understand. Oh, by the way, Master, is there a risk of this cultivation method being leaked?" Huang Liang suddenly thought of something and asked hesitantly, "What if someone sees me practicing and tries to steal the technique?"
"That won't happen. Not to mention that the meridian pathways for the cultivation method are difficult to grasp, the most crucial thing is that the cultivation method I taught you can only be initiated by inner energy from the same cultivation method. This is also why I didn't give you a manual; a manual alone would be useless." Huang Wen smiled and patted Huang Liang's shoulder. "Alright, go to my room and familiarize yourself with it. I'll go teach Uncle Wolf..."
"Yes, Master!" Huang Liang nodded reassuringly and walked into Huang Wen's room, where he sat cross-legged and began to circulate his own inner energy.
"The only thing to be grateful for is that there is still spiritual energy in the air of this world. Otherwise, even if I taught them inner energy cultivation methods, they wouldn't be able to cultivate," Huang Wen thought, looking in the direction of his room.
"Uncle Wolf, stop watching! Don't you want to learn your cultivation method anymore?" Huang Wen quickly shouted towards the living room TV. He didn't know what Logan was doing, but to get closer to Yuriko, the two of them were watching SpongeBob SquarePants on TV. And surprisingly, Yuriko actually enjoyed it.
"Coming, coming!" Logan's eyes lit up, and he instructed Yuriko, "I'll go first, don't run around!"
"Mhm." Yuriko's gaze didn't leave the TV, and she simply responded with a hum.
"Teacher, when will the two of us..." Bruce Banner and John the Pyro emerged from their room, looking at Huang Wen with some anticipation.
For the past two days, the two of them had been staying on the second floor of the Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy and hadn't gone downstairs. After all, their identities were a bit too special, especially Bruce Banner, who was on the military's wanted list. If he were to be discovered, it would be troublesome.
"Hmm, after I finish teaching Uncle Wolf." Huang Wen pondered for a moment and suddenly changed his mind. "How about this, we'll leave together and find a quiet place to teach you. Xiaoqiang, come up here. Reese, help watch the martial arts academy!"
"Coming, Brother Wen!"
"Understood, Teacher!"
Zhong Qiang responded and came up. Before he could say anything else, he directly transformed into specks of light and disappeared from the Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy. When Zhong Qiang came to his senses, he found himself in a wilderness with a large lake nearby.
"How did you end up here?" Logan recognized Alkali Lake at a glance and looked at Huang Wen with some confusion. He didn't understand how Alkali Lake had turned into this desolate state, nor did he know that Jean Grey had already been submerged in the water.
After all, at that time, Logan's attention was focused on the conflict between Huang Wen and the mutants. He even thought that Huang Wen had chosen to leave out of consideration for him, not to continue the conflict with the X-Men.
"No? Nothing happened? Impossible, under those circumstances, they didn't have a plane, so it wouldn't be that easy for them to leave. But where did Jean Grey go?" Huang Wen's perception was fully open, and he muttered to himself, but he couldn't find any trace of Jean Grey in the surroundings, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Is there a safer place than this? Although the base below was flooded, the drainage system slowly drained the water. With a little repair, it would be a perfect place for secluded cultivation and a good place to teach you the cultivation methods." Huang Wen quickly regained his composure and explained with a smile.
"Moreover, this was originally William Stryker's research facility, so there should be ample space for you to unleash your full potential."
"Then why don't we just go straight in?" Logan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Isn't it because I'm afraid the water inside hasn't been completely drained?" Huang Wen muttered to himself. He wasn't omniscient and omnipotent. How could he have known before he came if the underground base would still be a near-water prison?
With a thought from Huang Wen, everyone once again transformed into specks of light and entered the base. At this time, the base was somewhat dilapidated, with large and small puddles of water inside, and even many gaps in the ceiling that were leaking water. The environment was not good.
"Since I have the ability to teleport, there's really no need to leave doors and secret passages. I'll just seal them all up and leave only the vents." A thought flashed through Huang Wen's mind, and then he directly activated the Indestructible Diamond Divine Skill, using telekinesis to control the surrounding metal.
Logan's eyes lit up when he saw Huang Wen activating the Indestructible Diamond Divine Skill. He knew that this was the ability Huang Wen was going to teach him. With this ability, he would no longer have to fear Charles or Magneto!
Well, Logan didn't know yet that Magneto was having extreme difficulty using his abilities due to the precautions Huang Wen had left behind, let alone controlling Logan again.
Huang Wen was not relaxed after activating the Indestructible Diamond Divine Skill, because the underground base was severely damaged by the flood. In addition, it was Huang Wen's first time using object control for such a precise task. Therefore, it took Huang Wen a full half an hour to officially complete all the engineering work.
One must know that the Indestructible Diamond Divine Skill could only be maintained for a maximum of one hour, which meant that Huang Wen had already used up half of his inner energy.
