The flow of time around them instantly slowed.
Charles stared wide-eyed at his surroundings, he could feel the change in the flow of time, because his telepathy showed that Mystique, Eric, and the others' thoughts seemed to have come to a standstill.
This greatly surprised Charles.
"You manipulated time?"
"Yes!" Jiang Yu casually pulled out a can of beer, opened it, and handed it to Charles.
"It's chilled!"
Seeing Jiang Yu conjure something out of thin air like a magic trick, Charles smiled and took the beer.
It wasn't that he approved of Jiang Yu, but rather that he knew resistance was futile.
This guy was incredibly terrifying.
One could even say he was more terrifying than all the Mutants he could imagine.
Manipulating time?
Not only could he manipulate time, but he could also freely traverse space, and with a snap of his fingers, he could change everything around him.
If such a person wanted to kill him, or act against their group, it wouldn't seem too difficult.
"What's your name, and what are you doing here?"
Jiang Yu pulled out another can of beer and started drinking it.
At this moment, Charles felt a bit strange; the beer was indeed good going down, but he felt something in his stomach, yet it was as if he hadn't actually drunk anything!
Looking at Jiang Yu with a puzzled gaze, Jiang Yu smiled, "This is also one of my abilities, the ability to manipulate Reality. However, sometimes you can also understand it as, it truly exists, yet it doesn't fully truly exist!"
In reality, with Jiang Yu's Level 3 Reality Power, he could completely create genuine items, but to put Professor X at ease...
Jiang Yu couldn't just expose all his trump cards right away, could he?
Looking at the beer in his hand, "So this is just a trick?"
"Sometimes it's not, and sometimes it can create truly existing items, but it depends on luck. I haven't mastered more profound techniques yet!"
"My name is Jiang Yu, and I guess I'm a Mutant, just like you guys!"
Jiang Yu?
A Chinese name, Charles continued to ask, "Then why are you here?"
"I sensed some unusual power here, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect to find you guys fighting among yourselves, and it looks like you're in trouble!"
Jiang Yu casually tossed the beer aside, and Charles seemed to want to stop Jiang Yu from littering.
But Jiang Yu proactively said, "In about an hour, this bottle of beer will completely disappear and won't pollute the environment!"
"Honestly, I'm looking for a very powerful Mutant to spar with. The guy I sensed earlier disappeared, you know him, right! If you want to deal with him, I can help!"
Just for that purpose... However, if it were some other high-sounding reason, Charles would have found it less believable.
This reason seemed to fit the attitude of this somewhat cynical guy in front of him.
Just for a fight, he actively sought this place out.
"Do you want to join us?"
"Yes!" Jiang Yu nodded without hesitation.
"Then before I agree to let you join us, can you let time... return to normal? I need to discuss it with my friends!"
"Of course!"
Jiang Yu smiled, and the moment his smile appeared, the flow of time returned to normal.
Eric frowned, "In that instant just now, I felt something strange!"
"Eric, come with me!"
With that, Charles didn't wait for Eric to ask more questions and directly pulled Eric aside.
Seeing this, Mystique walked straight up.
"Hello, I'm Raven. What's your name?"
"Jiang Yu!" Jiang Yu looked at Mystique, who was maintaining her human form, "Can you transform into anyone?"
Mystique was startled, "You know my ability?"
"I can probably sense it. Your ability is amazing. Whoever becomes your boyfriend will surely be incredibly happy!"
Uh... Mystique smiled, "Do you want to see my original appearance?"
"Of course!"
Jiang Yu nodded, and the next second, Mystique reverted to her original form.
Blue, similar to an Avatar, Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes, "So beautiful!"
"Beautiful? Do you think I look good like this?"
"Of course!" Jiang Yu nodded very seriously, "I really like blue."
I want an Avatar!
Looking into Jiang Yu's eyes, Mystique didn't think Jiang Yu was lying; instead, he spoke very sincerely, although that sincerity carried a hint of naked possessiveness.
But in Mystique's opinion, this was acceptable.
5.3 After all, attracting such a handsome male wasn't a bad thing.
"He's very dangerous." Hank stepped forward, wanting Mystique not to get so close to Jiang Yu.
Mystique frowned, "I think we should be friendlier."
"Hey! That ability you suddenly showed just now, can you teleport?" Sean (Banshee) didn't care who Jiang Yu was, he was very interested in Jiang Yu's abilities.
Jiang Yu smiled, "I guess so! But I can not only teleport myself, but I can also make you teleport. Want to try?"
"Really? That's great, quick, quick, let me try, I've never..."
The next second, a wormhole directly swallowed Sean, and then when he reappeared, he was directly inside the house.
Sean was very surprised, and Alex was also startled.
"Wow! It really is instant movement!".
Chapter 101: The Future Mutant School
"Eric, what do you think about him helping us deal with Black King?"
Charles asked Eric on the side.
At this moment, Eric frowned, "It seems something happened in that instant just now!"
"Yes! That guy!" Charles glanced in Jiang Yu's direction, just in time to see Jiang Yu instantly moving Sean.
"He... stopped time...!"
Hearing this, Eric was also stunned, "Are you serious?"
He looked back but didn't see Sean being teleported, he was just curious what these guys were cheering about.
"Of course!" Charles's gaze was very serious. "While you all couldn't move, I had a brief chat with him!"
"His only goal is to find a powerful Mutant to spar with!"
Eric paused, "You believe that reason?"
"I do!" Charles, hands in his pockets, smiled helplessly, "If he said he was for all humanity, I would actually think it was fake!"
Recalling Jiang Yu's actions from his appearance to later.
He really didn't seem like a savior-like hero, but rather a mysterious figure, a non-good, non-bad eccentric.
But such a person could still be utilized.
At least if he could truly pause time, then using it against Black King would clearly be a very good method.
Raising the beer in his hand, Charles looked at Eric, "This guy has many special abilities: manipulating time, manipulating space, and also manipulating Reality!"
"This is what he created casually. Want a sip?"
Eric was startled; Charles wouldn't do such a boring thing. He took the beer and took a sip.
The next second, Eric instantly understood Charles's meaning.
"Is this thing real or fake?"
Charles smiled, looking at Jiang Yu, "In his words, sometimes he can make real ones, and sometimes he can only create fakes like this, which will disappear without a trace in an hour."
"He's a unique Mutant!" Eric concluded.
But Charles shook his head, "No... I think he might not just be a Mutant!"
Or!
He's not a Mutant at all.
Although Charles couldn't read Jiang Yu's mind, he had a subtle feeling.
This guy's power didn't come from Mutant genes at all.
Eric tried to manipulate the beer in his hand with his ability, and it really worked. "Well, no matter what, letting him join us seems better for us!"
A guy who can create a large number of items at any time, for Eric, is simply a born strongest partner!
And Charles on the side looked at Eric, "If you want to use him, I advise you not to!"
"I know! Manipulating time, that guy might have other..."
"Do you have abilities similar to Alex's?"
Sean was asking Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu instantly shot out a purple laser from his hand, instantly destroying the half-destroyed bronze statue.
The energy of the Seed of Power.
Jiang Yu nodded, "Of course, no problem, but the color is different!"
Alex felt that Jiang Yu had similar abilities to him, as if he had found a kindred spirit.
"I'm liking you more and more."
"Because I'm more handsome than you?" Jiang Yu retorted to Alex, and hearing this, Alex just paused for a moment then burst out laughing.
"You're too narcissistic!"
Of course, it wasn't that Jiang Yu was narcissistic, it was just that this helped to bridge their relationship.
Making some unimportant jokes was harmless.
"Alright!" Jiang Yu heard footsteps and turned to look at Charles and Eric walking towards him. "I'm about to face my judgment."
Charles almost choked, unable to speak, as he looked at Jiang Yu, "Welcome to our group, but I have a condition."
"No stealing, no robbing, no killing. Don't worry, I have basic moral standards. I only care if I can fight Black King."
Hearing this, Charles paused, not expecting Jiang Yu to say that proactively, which saved him some effort.
The next day!
At the Mutant school, or rather, the castle that hadn't yet become the Mutant school.
Jiang Yu woke up and saw Mystique standing by the bed. Don't misunderstand, Jiang Yu was alone last night.
"Hey! Morning!"
Jiang Yu greeted her proactively.
Mystique also carefully looked at Jiang Yu's naked upper body, "Great physique! But you should get up."
"Oh! Of course! Of course, no problem! But aren't you going to turn away?"
Jiang Yu asked Mystique with a smile.
But at this moment, Mystique maintained a smile, "What, is there something you don't want me to see?"
