Chapter 89 - 89

Can I also possess such strength?" Logan asked, staring intently at Huang Wen, his face full of anticipation. "If so, wouldn't I have several abilities?"

"It's not that easy," Huang Wen said, shaking his head with a smile. "Even if I teach you this martial art, you'll need to practice it for years. As I once told you, only through continuous cultivation can you reach this realm!"

"How long would it take to have your strength then?" Logan frowned, looking at Huang Wen, who had returned to his normal state. "It won't take many years, will it?"

"What are you afraid of? You've lived for almost two hundred years, and you're still concerned about a little bit of time?" A smile appeared at the corner of Huang Wen's mouth. "However, you might really need some time. After all, your talent for martial arts isn't great. Someone like me might reach my current realm in a year or two, but for you, it might take ten or eight years, or even longer!"

"That's impossible!" Logan confidently patted his chest. "I've always been quick to learn anything over the years!"

"Oh? Then you haven't even attended a proper university all these years, have you? Let alone a master's or doctorate!" The smile on Huang Wen's face grew more pronounced. "Let me ask you again, did you remember the meridians I asked you to memorize?"

"No, the meridian map you taught me was so complicated, how could I understand it?" A hint of embarrassment flashed in Logan's eyes. Learning knowledge was indeed not his strong suit; otherwise, he wouldn't have lived so long without accumulating much knowledge.

This was not only because of Logan's previous amnesia but, more importantly, because his mutant ability was originally beast-like. Coupled with his irritable temper and impatience, he was simply not suited for learning.

Therefore, Logan had done so many physically demanding jobs over the years. Simply put, Logan was a typical simple-minded, brawny mutant.

"Don't you all laugh either. Have you memorized the meridian map I asked you to?" Huang Wen turned his head, looking at the three snickering individuals—Bruce Banner, Zhong Qiang, and Pyro John—and asked, focusing on Zhong Qiang and Pyro John.

"It's not too difficult. Aside from being a bit hard to understand, memorizing them isn't a big problem for me," Bruce Banner said with a confident shrug and a smile. "Alright, I was just too bored. Teacher, you didn't seem to ask me to memorize these things…"

"You really don't need to. I will teach you to unleash your own abilities. After all, your own abilities alone are enough for a lifetime," Huang Wen nodded, looking at Zhong Qiang and Pyro John. "What about you two?"

"Brother Wen, that stuff is too hard to remember, isn't it? I haven't studied so seriously in a long time, and I still haven't memorized it all…" Zhong Qiang said with an apologetic smile, looking at Huang Wen cautiously.

"I… I only memorized a small part…" Pyro John also said somewhat awkwardly.

"Then we'll just have to see how much you can absorb later. If it doesn't work, then you'll have to slowly build your foundation. Just don't envy Huang Liang then." Huang Wen shook his head helplessly. He naturally knew these things were hard to remember. If he didn't have the character attributes of Bai Zhan Tang and Ye Wen, he wouldn't have been able to memorize so much.

"Let's start with you, Uncle Wolf. Originally, the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art is a high-level technique and not suitable for direct learning, as one cannot bear it without strong physical fitness or internal energy. However, you are special. As long as you can withstand the pain…" Huang Wen turned his head and said earnestly to Logan.

"Come on, I've been through worse pain, you know that," Logan took a deep breath, his gaze firm.

"Then, sit cross-legged." Huang Wen nodded, reached out and placed his hand on Logan, pressing him to the ground. Then, a powerful internal energy surged out and entered Logan's meridians. "Remember these painful spots. This is the circulation route of internal energy!"

"Hiss!" Because this internal energy was too powerful for Logan's meridians, his meridians directly burst open. However, his immortal body's regenerative ability quickly restored his meridians. Moreover, with the internal energy supporting them, his meridians even widened quite a bit.

"It seems it really can work!" Huang Wen's perception sensed the changes happening in Logan's body, and his eyes lit up. "Although the risk is much greater compared to Huang Liang, for Uncle Wolf, it's just a matter of pain…"

"Ah!" Logan let out screams. Although this pain was not as severe as when the adamantium alloy was injected, it was much more painful than being shot, especially since this was internal body pain, which Logan had not experienced much before.

The few people beside, including Bruce Banner, heard Logan's screams, and their expressions changed slightly, subconsciously shrinking their necks. Even the Hulk almost couldn't help but jump out.

After a long time, the powerful internal energy was reduced to its last trace, entering Logan's dantian. Logan didn't even need to specifically memorize the circulation route of the technique, because those widened meridians were the internal energy's circulation route. He only needed to circulate internal energy along those meridians that became narrow from wide due to the consumption of internal energy.

Moreover, even if he circulated it incorrectly, for someone like Logan, it would just be a moment of pain, with no other losses, let alone life-threatening injuries.

"Sit down. While you have the chance, quickly convert that trace of internal energy into your own," Huang Wen held down Logan, who was trying to get up. "I won't prepare tonics for you; after all, your physique doesn't need that stuff. Next…"

As Huang Wen spoke, he looked at Zhong Qiang and Pyro John. Both of them took a step back simultaneously, clearly scared by Logan's earlier screams.

"Xiao Qiang, you go first. Banner will be last, after all, he's different from you guys," Huang Wen said with a chuckle, looking at their movements.

"Brother Wen…" Zhong Qiang subconsciously swallowed, "I think I should memorize the meridian map first before you teach me…"

"You know now?" Huang Wen glared at Zhong Qiang in annoyance. "Go memorize it now! If you don't memorize it, you're not going home. I'll keep you here and feed you one meal a day!"

"No way, Brother Wen!" Zhong Qiang let out a familiar scream.

"Aren't you going quickly?" Huang Wen rolled his eyes and looked at Pyro John. "Come, sit cross-legged. Let me see how well your body adapts first."

"Yes… Yes, Teacher." Pyro John also swallowed, not daring to say the same thing as Zhong Qiang. He obediently sat on the ground, and Huang Wen placed his hand on Pyro John, his perception beginning to probe Pyro John's body.

"Huh? Mutants really are a bit different. Is it because he's an energy-type mutant, so his body naturally contains energy?" Huang Wen suddenly discovered something, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
