However, don't get too arrogant. Although you now possess both ice and fire abilities, for various reasons, Iceman Bobby is an Omega-level mutant, and his potential is extremely strong. If you want to completely surpass him, you still need to continue working hard!" Huang Wen reminded John, who was full of excitement.
"Now, your mutant ability has mutated once again. Moreover, you can continuously run the cultivation method I taught you to constantly strengthen your abilities. Only in this way can you completely surpass Iceman Bobby!"
"Teacher, is my current strength not enough?" John frowned, feeling his strength, which was far greater than before, and somewhat disbelieved what Chen Yi had said.
"John, it seems you're getting a bit ahead of yourself." Huang Wen smiled faintly and shook his head. Although John's strength had been enhanced at this time, and he had gained both ice and fire abilities, Huang Wen could feel that John had still not reached the legendary level; he was still in the extraordinary realm.
After all, John's original ability was at the extraordinary level, and the Ice Flame Palm was also an extraordinary level skill. Even with the superposition, the legendary level was not so easy to reach, while Iceman Bobby could now trigger legendary level missions.
"Issue a mission to let John know his current strength." Huang Wen thought, and issued a new mission. The previous involvement in the mutant incident against Magneto was too rushed, and he didn't even have time to issue a mission. Now it was time to properly "shear the sheep."
"Generating mission: Dispel John's arrogance. Reward: One extraordinary item lottery. Do you accept?"
"Sure enough, it's still at the extraordinary level, and it's even an item lottery. Is the mission too simple?" Huang Wen shook his head in disappointment, muttering to himself, "Accept."
"Come, John, don't you think your strength is very strong now? Now, I will fight you with the same ability as yours, to make you understand your current strength!" Huang Wen did not treat John as an opponent, even if John had obtained the Ice Flame Palm.
After all, although Huang Wen's Ice Flame Palm was also at the extraordinary level, Huang Wen's internal energy was already at the legendary level. This kind of martial arts skill would naturally rise with the improvement of realm and internal energy. Therefore, it was equivalent to Huang Wen fighting the extraordinary level John with the legendary level John's ability.
"I will not disappoint Teacher!" John's eyes lit up. He knew this was an excellent opportunity to prove his strength. If he could fortunately defeat Huang Wen, who only used the Ice Flame Palm, then he would definitely be more valued, and it would not be impossible to receive other abilities from Huang Wen at that time!
That's right, John was a person who extremely craved strength. When he first became Huang Wen's disciple, he was quite different from Bruce Banner; he wanted to learn everything!
"Whoosh!" The first thing John used was his extremely familiar fire ability. A ball of flame flew out of his right hand, turning into a blazing fire. Faintly visible, John's fiery red pupil in his right eye was glowing.
"Boom!" With a soft flick of Huang Wen's right hand, a ball of condensed fire directly exploded the flame emitted by John, and the powerful explosive force continued to blast towards John without diminishing.
John's reaction was also very fast. A blue light flashed in his left eye, and he directly condensed an ice wall in front of him with his left hand. This was a move he learned from Iceman Bobby.
"Crack!"
However, the ice wall could not stop the explosive power of the flame and was directly shattered. John himself was also sent flying. Fortunately, John was no longer the person who, despite being able to control fire, had very little fire resistance.
At this time, John's resistance to both ice and fire was still decent, so he wasn't seriously injured, just a bit disheveled.
"How is it? Do you feel the gap in power?" Huang Wen looked at John, who had gotten up and was a bit lost, and said with a smile, "I have also fought with Iceman Bobby and know his strength. At this time, he should be at the strength I have when using only the Ice Palm. You and he still have some gap…"
"However, your abilities are richer than his, and you will no longer be restrained by him. Without the restriction of creating fire, if you really fight, you still have a certain chance of winning. Of course, if you can practice diligently, your chances of winning will only get greater and greater!"
"Teacher, I understand now. I shouldn't be arrogant, let alone complacent. I will continue to work hard and will not disappoint you!" A flicker of realization flashed in John's eyes as he looked at Huang Wen and said seriously.
At this moment, John gradually understood that perhaps he shouldn't crave too many abilities. The power of ice and fire alone was enough for him. As long as he could continuously strengthen these two abilities, he would also become a famous powerhouse!
"Ding! Mission 'Dispel John's Arrogance' completed. Reward: One extraordinary item lottery." The system's prompt also told Huang Wen that John had indeed dispelled his arrogance, which made Huang Wen nod in satisfaction.
"System, claim the mission reward, an extraordinary item. I wonder if it can shine brightly like the Regenerative Dragon Seal again, but please don't give me another Regenerative Dragon Seal!" Huang Wen turned to the mission page. "Draw extraordinary item lottery!"
"Whoosh!" A white light, belonging to the mortal and extraordinary level lottery, flashed.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the extraordinary item, True • Honest Bean Paste Bun (from the movie 'Tricky Brains,' not the Lying Bean Paste Bun. After system optimization, whoever eats it will speak honestly and answer any questions within 5 minutes!)"
"???" Huang Wen was literally full of question marks at this moment. What the hell is this? True • Honest Bean Paste Bun? What's the use of it? How was this thing evaluated as an extraordinary item by the system? Just because it can make anyone tell the truth? But what's the use of that?
"I don't have anyone I need to interrogate, so what's the use of this thing? Should I try to feed it to Loki if I meet him in the future, to see if Loki will reluctantly say that he likes his brother Thor?" Huang Wen's imagination was running wild, but he still couldn't think of any suitable use for it.
"This thing is even more of a scam than hammers, stools, and umbrellas! At least those are permanent items. This is not only a one-time item but also took up an extraordinary lottery slot. Forget it, never mind, maybe I'm just unlucky today!"
"Teacher, you said before that the skills you teach me are a bit different from theirs. It won't be that painful for me too, right?" After witnessing Logan and John's experiences, Bruce Banner also felt a little nervous. "It's not that I'm afraid of pain or anything, it's mainly that I'm afraid of the Hulk running out of control…"
"Don't worry, you are different from them. I will teach you and the Hulk separately." Huang Wen came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile.
