Xu Fu's days at the Academy were quite peaceful.
Every day, besides eating and sleeping, he'd sneak out to fish.
Unfortunately, perhaps because he'd used up his luck with two consecutive successful catches a few days prior, he hadn't hooked anything in the last few days.
However.
Daily sign-ins and sunbathing also provided him with considerable gains.
His three attributes had been strengthened significantly.
[Host: Xu Fu] [Age: 17]
[Strength: Tier 1]
[Physique: 30]
[Spirit: 23]
[Energy: 25]
[Fishing Pond: Artificial Lake]
[Items: VIX Fishing Rod (High-Quality Fishing Rod), X-Gene Inhibitor]
[Skills: Superman's Body (Bronze), Joker's Mind Network]
In the past few days, his Physique had directly broken through thirty, a shocking change. The power of a single punch could now reach approximately forty tons.
How heavy is a semi-truck anyway?
Now, Xu Fu could punch one and send it flying.
If an ordinary person took a hit from him, they'd probably be blown to smithereens by his terrifying strength! He wasn't even human anymore!
And as he absorbed the power of the sun, the energy within him also grew significantly stronger.
Xu Fu felt that it probably wouldn't be long before he mastered all of Superman's various and powerful abilities.
Superman wasn't just strong!
He had all sorts of ridiculous abilities as well.
If he could truly master them all, he'd definitely be no weaker than a Mutant.
With a satisfied feeling, Xu Fu returned to the Academy.
As soon as he entered, Wolverine, who had been waiting for a long time, caught him.
"You should know you're supposed to be learning combat skills from me, right?"
Wolverine, with a cigar in his mouth, spoke to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu looked at the suddenly appearing Wolverine and gave a sheepish smile.
"Ahem, Teacher Logan, I forgot."
Logan was the oldest person in the entire Mutant Academy and also the most experienced in combat.
This figure, born nearly a hundred years ago, had honed incredibly rich combat skills throughout his life.
You could say that.
He's been in a constant state of combat his entire life.
At the same power level, Superman would get utterly destroyed by Wolverine.
In fact, at the same power level, almost anyone with decent fighting skills could beat Superman.
After losing his powers, Superman nearly got killed by Batman, which shows how weak his fighting skills are.
Even though he's a god among men, he was killed by Doomsday.
You could only say that Superman's fighting technique is atrocious; he just relies on his powerful body to cheat in fights.
It's fine when facing weaker enemies, but whenever he meets a stronger opponent, he's just completely outmatched.
In this regard, learning combat skills from Wolverine is actually quite important.
It's just…
The cost-effectiveness is too low.
He could increase his strength much faster by fishing.
Xu Fu naturally didn't want to waste time at the Academy with Wolverine.
However, since he was here, and for his own good, Xu Fu couldn't pretend he didn't see him; that would make him friendless.
"Teacher Logan, this is my fault."
"I can learn combat with you, but can we change locations?"
"How about we do it on the lawn behind the Academy?"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid the destructive power might be too strong, and Professor X would have a headache."
Xu Fu offered the suggestion very sincerely.
Logan initially wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought of the testing equipment in the testing ground, which Xu Fu had easily dismantled into scrap metal.
"Uh."
"Alright."
"Since Charles said so, I'll teach you properly."
"However, my teaching style is a bit rough, so you'd better be prepared."
Logan reminded him.
"Don't worry."
Xu Fu replied obediently.
Looking at him, you wouldn't think he was a student who skipped class every day.
He answered with confidence. Superman's Body made his physique incredibly strong; even Wolverine's Adamantium claws probably couldn't break through his defenses.
Logan wouldn't use such weapons in his teaching anyway, so he wasn't afraid at all!
Lost in thought, Xu Fu began to chat with Logan.
This man was the most manly figure in the entire Academy, and his century-long life was also quite legendary.
Xu Fu was also very curious.
"Ah!!"
As the two of them were talking, a scream suddenly came from a distance.
Xu Fu keenly noticed that the hairs on Logan's body stood up!
This should be the Wolverine's beast instinct kicking in. It's a similar ability to Spider-Sense, and it's also the reason why Wolverine is afraid of flying.
"Fire? I smell something burning," Xu Fu said, frowning.
Logan looked at him in surprise, seemingly surprised by Xu Fu's keenness.
"I'll go help. You get back to your dorm quickly."
"Scott and the others aren't here. This is trouble."
Logan turned and walked away, his face etched with worry.
Xu Fu didn't listen to him and simply followed.
When the X-Men went on missions, they would always leave two people behind to watch over the Academy.
This time, the ones staying behind were Logan and Jean, who possessed telepathic abilities.
However…
Neither of them seemed to have any good solutions for the fire.
When Xu Fu and Logan arrived, the building was already on fire, and the flames were rapidly spreading to the surrounding areas, with thick smoke billowing out.
Screams could be heard from inside.
Fortunately, the students here each possessed unique skills, so there was no immediate need to worry about danger.
Logan's expression was very serious.
"The fire seems pretty bad. Didn't they install a fire suppression system in here?"
Xu Fu asked.
"How did you catch up?"
Logan glanced at Xu Fu and then explained.
"This is a building from the last century, and it's a standalone structure, with flaws from the initial design."
"Since you've caught up, help the other students here. I'll go inside to help."
Logan instructed, then ran into the fire.
In Xu Fu's opinion, he probably intended to rely on his powerful self-healing ability to forcefully extinguish the fire and rescue people.
"Wait."
Xu Fu grabbed Logan.
Wolverine's self-healing ability was incredibly powerful, even capable of withstanding a nuclear bomb, but it was also extremely painful.
Xu Fu didn't think it was necessary for him to do that.
Getting along with a future combat teacher is very important, after all.
"Teacher Logan, don't worry, let me try first."
Xu Fu said.
"You? Try? What do you plan to do?"
"What's the use of just brute strength now?"
Logan asked, puzzled.
"Teacher, I don't just simply have strength."
Xu Fu smiled mysteriously.
Then, puffing out his cheeks, he tried to blow into it.
Logan: ??? Is this kid crazy?
What's the point of blowing at a fire of this magnitude? Can you even extinguish the flames? This is ridiculous, isn't it?
Ignoring the strange kid, Logan charged into the building alone.
For many, this was just a school, but for him, it was still his home! It was where he could find meaning! He absolutely wouldn't allow anything bad to happen here! But...
Halfway through his charge, he suddenly noticed a cool, white breath passing by him.
The breath blew onto the burning floors, and visible ice crystals formed. The flames visibly extinguished in front of this white breath.
Logan turned around abruptly.
Then Xu Fu was seen constantly blowing air.
A gust of white breath, like a storm, continuously blew out.
Logan was instantly shocked!
"Fuck!"
What's going on?
