Logan…" Jean Grey's eyes lit up as she saw Logan, as if she had suddenly thought of something. The destructive power around her slowly dissipated, and her expression softened. Her hand even subconsciously rested on her lower abdomen as she looked at Logan with deep affection.
Cyclops also noticed the change in Jean Grey's expression. Although he didn't understand what it meant for Jean Grey to place her hand on her lower abdomen, Cyclops suddenly felt as green as the big guy below him. Even the optic blasts he fired might be green.
"Logan! What did you do to Jean?!" Cyclops glared at Logan furiously, his voice low and angry.
"Cough, cough, cough…" A hint of awkwardness flashed across Logan's face. The serious battle had suddenly taken a strange turn with the arrival of Logan and his companions.
"Well, actually, I'm here to stop you guys from fighting. Can't we all just sit down and talk it out?" Logan pondered for a moment, organizing his words before speaking.
"Go to hell!" Cyclops roared in fury, and a crimson optic blast shot towards Logan. Fortunately, the blast wasn't green, as he had feared.
"Tsk!" Logan's adamantium claws extended, crossing in front of him, blocking the optic blast and deflecting it away.
Logan had quite a bit of experience with optic blasts. He had learned a lot when he once dealt with a guy whose mouth was sewn shut.
"Scott, stop fighting. There's no need for us to go to war…" However, Cyclops's optic blasts now were not comparable to those of the guy with the sewn-up mouth. Even though Logan deflected the blast, it didn't injure him, but the powerful force of the blast still pushed Logan back continuously.
"Hmph!" Seeing Logan at a disadvantage, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Jean Grey's body. This time, Cyclops felt even greener. Of course, he wouldn't glare at Jean Grey. Instead, he charged directly at Logan. He was going to make Logan pay!
"Jean, leave it to me. I can handle it. Stop fighting, both of you!" Logan instinctively shouted at Jean Grey. What Logan didn't expect was that Jean Grey actually stopped. This made Cyclops even angrier.
With a "bang!", Cyclops furiously rushed in front of Logan and punched him in the chest, sending Logan flying.
"Scott, don't push your luck!" Logan climbed up from the ground somewhat disheveled and said to Hulk and the others nearby, "This is between him and me. You don't need to get involved…"
With another "bang!", Logan flew out again. This punch, in fact, landed on Logan's abdomen, where there were no bones, and thus no adamantium protection. Cyclops's punch tore a large gash in Logan's stomach.
However, Logan was Logan, a man with an immortal body. Especially after practicing martial arts, his body's development had increased, and his healing ability seemed to have become even more effortless.
Therefore, Logan quickly got up from the ground again, while Hulk and the others showed no intention of helping. Hulk watched Logan and Cyclops with some boredom. He had indeed wanted to fight Cyclops, as Cyclops, who could fly, fight, and perform long-range attacks, was a formidable opponent.
But since Logan had spoken, Hulk had no intention of stealing his opponent.
Meanwhile, Yuriko and John each found their pre-assigned targets. Yuriko, relying on the adamantium in her body, began to beat up Raze. Jean Grey glanced at Raze and Yuriko, her eyes moving slightly, but she showed no intention of stopping them.
As for John, when he walked towards Iceman Bobby and Rogue Anna's hostile gazes, a sudden emotion welled up in his heart. Iceman Bobby and Rogue Anna hadn't changed much since they parted ways. The reason they were hostile towards John was because Cyclops and Logan had started fighting, and in their eyes, John, who came with Logan, must also be an enemy.
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome!" Iceman Bobby stood in front of Rogue Anna, his voice low as he said, "You traitor, stay away from us!"
"Traitor?" John raised an eyebrow, then pointed to the large group of mutants near Jean Grey and said, "Do you know that in the eyes of your mutant brethren, you are the traitors? Now is a great opportunity for mutants to rise, and yet you are personally trying to stop it…"
"This…" A hint of hesitation flashed in Rogue Anna's eyes. She had indeed seen the hostile gazes of her mutant brethren in the distance, and her heart was actually a bit lost.
"Hmph! Enough nonsense. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being impolite!" Iceman Bobby snorted coldly, and frost subtly appeared in his hand. A hint of defiance flashed in his eyes. "Let me see what you've learned after betraying the academy and taking an ordinary person as your teacher!"
"What I've learned far exceeds your imagination." John suddenly laughed when he heard this. He knew that Iceman Bobby was still holding a grudge about losing to Huang Wen, but in John's opinion, Iceman Bobby wasn't even worthy of being Huang Wen's enemy!
With a "boom!", first, a ball of flame rose in John's palm, making Iceman Bobby, Rogue Anna, and even all the students of the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters widen their eyes.
Because no one saw where John's lighter was. He used his fire ability with empty hands, which was a huge shock to everyone who knew the details of John's abilities.
"This is what he taught you? How is this possible? Your ability clearly doesn't include fire generation!" Iceman Bobby looked at John in disbelief, then slapped out a hand, and a wave of frost attacked John. "No! Even if you can generate fire, you are no match for me!"
"Heh heh." A hint of mockery appeared on John's lips. His left hand suddenly extended, and a snowstorm attacked Iceman Bobby, colliding with Iceman Bobby's frost and freezing the surrounding ground.
"What?!" This time, all the students of the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters exclaimed in surprise, and John also felt a sense of satisfaction. After all, he had been diligently cultivating during this period, wasn't it precisely to prove to his former companions that his choice was not wrong, and to prove that he was already stronger than them?
"How is this possible?!" This time, Iceman Bobby completely lost his composure. John's abilities were originally much weaker than his, but now, John had not only overcome the weaknesses of his own abilities but also possessed abilities similar to his. How could Iceman Bobby accept this?
