Chapter 90: One Ren Arakawa Can't Learn It, Three Ren Arakawas!
In a luxurious villa by the sea, a grand party was in full swing, roaring like a fire.
A group of beautiful white women and brightly dressed rich people danced passionately on the dance floor, letting their bodies loose.
The music switched to a fast-paced dance track, and the atmosphere on the dance floor reached a climax.
Surprisingly, quite a few people began to kiss passionately.
Even though they had only just met.
In a corner of the party, Stephen Fang sat quietly in the shadows.
Black Widow, dressed in a black evening gown, had a cold and alluring demeanor, forming a unique harmony with Stephen Fang's silence.
Black Widow held a glass of red wine. Seeing Stephen Fang seemed oblivious to the dance floor's situation, she asked curiously, "Why aren't you joining the party? The atmosphere tonight is so lively, I even feel a warmth inside me—"
Stephen Fang didn't even lift his head. "I don't have the leisure for that."
Black Widow's gaze fell on a black feather Stephen Fang was idly twirling in his hand. The feather shimmered with a mysterious blue glow under the lights.
She reached out curiously, "Can I touch it?"
Stephen Fang glanced at Black Widow. "Touching this feather is like touching my... flirtation feather. Don't even think about it."
"You..." Black Widow hadn't expected the man in front of her to be so cocky, and walked away, holding her red wine glass.
At this moment, in Stephen Fang's mind, two voices were conversing.
"Lightning-attributed Chakra is even harder to control than Water-attributed Chakra. Attaching it to a feather is a brilliant idea, but the difficulty should be higher than Chidori."
Pirate Ren Arakawa's voice was very hoarse. In the Starvation Prison, only when prisoners truly couldn't endure it, would they be given a tiny bit of water.
Since he just "checked in," he shouldn't think about such things.
Uchiha Ren's condition was much better, but he was a bit out of breath, and his throat wasn't in good shape either.
This was because he had just dictated five rap songs to Killer B.
"Killer B's Lightning Pen can pierce through steel armor. Even Kisame, when facing the Lightning Pen, has to dodge desperately."
"Currently, the attack power of our wings hasn't been maximized. If we can incorporate Lightning-attributed Chakra transformation, it will definitely be a trump card!"
Stephen Fang nodded. "I tried injecting Chakra into the feather; it is indeed somewhat difficult. Once this thing can be mastered, our overall combat power should be able to rise to a new Tier."
He paused for a moment, then, in his mind, recalled the theoretical knowledge of Observation Haki learned from Pirate Ren Arakawa's side. "If we add Observation Haki..."
"I can't even imagine it! I've never fought such a well-resourced battle!"
For one person to learn Observation Haki and Lightning-attributed Chakra transformation is extremely difficult.
But with three people learning simultaneously, the learning progress can be described as rapid.
Pirate Ren Arakawa suddenly thought, "What about the Extremis virus and Asgard?"
Stephen Fang glanced towards the dance floor, at Tony Stark, who was currently demonstrating how to pee in the Mark suit. "Not yet, but it should be soon. I've already reached the plot of Iron Man 2 here."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't sealed off the matter of the hammer in New Mexico. I don't know if they're fishing for something or what..."
As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, "Never mind that for now, Colonel Rhodes has put on the War Machine armor!"
As Stephen Fang cut off the communication, he quickly ran towards Tony Stark.
Colonel Rhodes, under the mask of War Machine, issued a final warning to Tony Stark: "Hey, Tony! Stop all this! Don't forget who you are!"
Colonel Rhodes was an American soldier. He couldn't stand seeing his good friend possessing all these weapons, yet acting so flippantly and doing nothing here.
But what he didn't know was, because the original Arc Reactor hadn't been updated with a new energy source, Tony Stark had already reached 90% palladium poisoning.
Rather than saying Tony Stark was indulging himself, it was more accurate to say he was very open-minded at the end of his life.
Tony Stark in the armor had no intention of stopping. He squeezed out a smile at Colonel Rhodes, "That fits you quite well, want to dance?"
Rhodes was ignited with rage by this comment. "You don't deserve to have such armor!" As he spoke, he actually maneuvered War Machine to raise its arm and strike at Tony Stark.
With a "Clang!", Iron Man recoiled two steps.
Just as he was about to counterattack, a figure suddenly slammed into War Machine.
Stephen Fang!
In the state of Vegeta, Heavenly Curse Mark Tier 2, and Genetic Lock, Stephen Fang had boundless strength. A single knee strike sent War Machine flying out of the mansion!
Glass shattered everywhere. The people in the swimming pool, seeing the situation was bad, screamed and scattered in all directions. Soon, a battleground was cleared for both sides.
Colonel Rhodes in the War Machine armor clutched his head, looking at the Asian face with a tail and wings, and was too shocked to speak.
Half an hour ago, he had scoffed at Tony introducing this person as his bodyguard.
As a result, in less than an hour, he had been proven wrong.
"A mutant?!"
Colonel Rhodes had high authority. He knew this world had many strange and bizarre things.
Mutants were one of them.
Since he possessed the strength to send War Machine flying, there was no doubt about his mutant identity.
Rhodes raised his hand, aiming at Stephen Fang. "I'll count to five. When the countdown ends, I will open fire! Surrender immediately!"
Stephen Fang didn't fall for that. "You attacked my boss, and you think you're justified?! What kind of arrogant person are you pretending to be? You look down on this, you look down on that, take off your armor and talk!"
Rhodes hadn't expected the mutant kid facing his cannon to dare retort. His deeply ingrained American military will made Rhodes grit his teeth, "Three!"
"Two!"
Stephen Fang didn't wait for Rhodes to open fire; he proactively launched an attack!
A feather, slightly imbued with blue Chakra light, flew towards Rhodes!
The speed was so fast that Rhodes didn't even have time to react.
Fortunately, War Machine's AI system had active recognition and defense functions. Facing the feather, it directly raised its barrel!
"Da da da!"
The bullets had just swept twice, when with a "Crack!", War Machine's cannon barrel was pierced by a single feather!
In just one encounter, Stephen Fang destroyed one of War Machine's main cannons!
"Oh, my goodness!"
Pepper, holding a fruit plate, saw this scene. The fruit plate fell to the ground.
She looked at Tony Stark, who was still watching the show on the side. "What are you doing, Tony! Quickly tell them to stop! Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"
Tony Stark was already a dying man. Every second he could live now was precious, and he welcomed the entertainment: "That guy Rhodes was going to hit me, and my bodyguard stepped in to stop him. Nothing wrong with that."
At that critical moment, a giant water dragon appeared above the swimming pool and crashed towards War Machine.
