The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 50 Professor X's Invitation

"Please sit wherever you like. There are not so many rules here." Zhan Liu pointed to the seat next to him and signaled to Jimmy Yang who was trembling with fear.

Jimmy Yang is the mutant who has just awakened. He is not a student of Midtown High School, but the son of a merchant in Chinatown and attends a public high school.

He is a fan of Bruce Lee and kung fu, so he joined the martial arts school as soon as it was established, and it has been several months now.

Originally, he was a naughty boy with poor academic performance. In the future, he might join a Chinese gang to make a living. But now, he was looking at the feathers on his body at a loss. He wanted to sit down but was afraid that he would crush the feathers.

"Forget it then. You should just stand. I don't know if sitting down will affect the feathers."

Jimmy felt relieved. He stood there, looking at Zhan Liu nervously.

"Don't be nervous. I don't discriminate against mutants. I'm not a mutant. You know, I'm not from this world, and I don't think mutants are dangerous. So, don't worry that I will hurt you."

"Thank you, Master." Jimmy's tension eased a little, but he was still very nervous. "How did I suddenly awaken the mutant gene?"

"I don't know about this either. However, in principle, anyone can awaken the mutant gene. It's not that many people don't have mutant genes, but their X gene is recessive. When they are stimulated by something, the recessive gene may be transformed into dominant and awakened."

"What is your ability? Control the wind?" It was also the first time that Zhan Liu saw a mutant, and he was quite curious.

"Uh... I think so." Jimmy stretched out his hand, and a breeze appeared on his hand. He swung his hand, and the wind suddenly turned into a sharp blade and shot out, cutting a shallow mark on the table next to him.

“That’s right. You can control your abilities right after awakening. Although it’s still a little weak now, you should be able to get stronger through scientific training in the future.” Zhan Liu nodded approvingly.

"I don't know what's going on. I feel like controlling this wind is pretty simple. It's much easier than practicing Ultimate Infinite Qigong."

"This is natural. Wind control is your mutant ability. It is an innate ability, rooted in your genes, just like fish can swim and birds can fly. The Qigong of my school is acquired through practice, so of course it is more difficult."

When Jimmy heard Zhan Liu talking about birds flying, he also flapped his feathered arms and jumped a few times, but finally stopped in frustration and said dejectedly: "It seems that my feathers are useless and I can't fly."

"The reason why birds can fly is probably related to their hollow bones, and you don't have wings. But you don't have to be discouraged. As long as you can enter the ninth level of magnetic field rotation, you can also fly." Zhan Liu comforted.

"Uh...can I still continue studying in the martial arts school?" Jimmy asked in surprise.

"Of course, you haven't reached the three-month deadline I set last time. Or do you plan to move away from here and not continue?"

"No, of course not. I have no plans to move, and I want to continue studying here. It would be even better if I could complete the assessment and become a formal disciple. I'm just worried..." He hesitated.

"I can't control what happens outside, but within the confines of my martial arts school, racial discrimination is not allowed, and neither is discrimination against mutants."

Jimmy was overjoyed, "Thank you, Master."

"Let me take you home first. Your parents don't know about your current situation. Have you thought about how to face them?"

"I...I don't know." Jimmy's smile became stiff again.

"If your parents can't accept your current situation, you might as well come to the martial arts gym. I will arrange a suitable place for you." Zhan Liu didn't believe in such sayings as even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Although there are indeed many parents who are willing to give everything for their children, at the same time, there are also many parents who are selfish and don't take their children seriously at all.

There are hundreds of thousands of children abandoned in the United States every year, and nearly 10 million children are fatherless. Most of these children are the product of passion.

Even if both parents are present, they may not both love their children.

Parents all over the world can have children without taking any certification. What a horrible thing this is.

Zhan Liu is not sure what kind of people Jimmy's parents are, but in Marvel's comics about mutants, there are plots about parents betraying, abandoning, and selling out their children because of mutant children.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong in thinking of the worst in everything.

As for Jimmy's future placement, it was also easily solved.

If Jimmy can get in within the three-month deadline, he will live in the martial arts gym. If not, he will be left to Professor X. Anyway, the old man has a lot of children to raise, so this one doesn't matter. He has to express his gratitude for this.

But the next day, when Zhan Liu saw Jimi coming with his parents, he knew that Jimi was very lucky because his parents were not the standard Marvel parents.

Although they still have some fear of mutants, this fear does not overshadow their love for their son.

They came here to express their gratitude, and apparently Jimmy told his parents what Zhan Liu had said to him.

Mr. and Mrs. Yang came this time because they truly recognized Zhan Liu as Jimmy's master, not just a teacher in a martial arts school.

Not only did they express their gratitude verbally, they also brought gifts for apprenticeship, hoping that Jimmy could formally worship Zhan Liu as his master, the kind of traditional master-apprentice relationship in which Jimmy kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, and could provide support and care for Zhan Liu until his death.

But their idea is quite nice, Zhan Liu won't accept just anyone.

Therefore, Zhan Liu clearly stated his criteria for accepting disciples. If Jimi could get in within the deadline, he would be considered a promising talent and he would be willing to accept him as his disciple. If he couldn't, then there would be no discussion.

Seeing that he was determined, Mr. and Mrs. Yang did not force him any further. They just hoped that Zhan Liu could be strict with Jimmy, and beat him when necessary and scold him when necessary.

In order to dispel Zhan Liu's doubts, Mr. Yang even wrote a letter of authorization and a disclaimer on the spot.

Zhan Liu was both amused and confused by this, but he did feel the sincerity of the two.

After seeing off Mr. and Mrs. Yang, Zhan Liu brought Jimi to the courtyard and made his attitude clear to everyone in public, forbidding anyone to discriminate against Jimi in any form, otherwise they would be expelled from the sect.

Of course, he does not force others to stay here. Those who do not want to stay can leave on their own.

In fact, there may be many people who feel disgusted with mutants, but those who really cannot coexist with mutants are often those whose family members have been harmed by mutants. Even if ordinary people do not like mutants, it will not affect their prospects and future.

The small disturbance was thus resolved, but a few days later, he received an invitation letter signed by Charles Xavier.
