A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 88 Dragon Bone Potion
"So? Are you giving up?" Natasha asked with a seductive smile, holding a dagger to Bronsky's neck.

Bronsky felt the coldness on his neck, a bead of sweat dripping from his forehead, and nodded helplessly.

He lost again.

However, this time, unlike when he faced Levi and Jessica before, he was not defeated so cleanly and decisively, and was directly knocked to the ground by absolute power.

He did manage to exchange dozens of blows with Natasha, after all.

But a loss is a loss, and Bronsky never makes excuses for his defeats.

However, what he didn't know was that Natasha, who beat him, also had a tough time.

Moreover, Natasha was able to beat him so quickly because she actually cheated a little.

As a British Royal Marines ace and also somewhat older, Bronsky's overall strength may be slightly weaker than Frank's.

But she's actually no less impressive than Natasha.

Moreover, Bronsky's strength was also forged in battle.

Natasha was able to defeat Bronsky so quickly because of her equipment advantage—of course, she didn't wear the obvious Nightfall set, but only a ring and necklace, plus two ebony daggers.

However, she did this at Li Wei's behest.

Because Levi's goal was to let Bronsky know that his past achievements meant nothing in the league.

Natasha did not object to Li Wei's instruction—she wasn't a martial artist, so why should she talk about martial ethics? She was just a secret agent, okay?

"Any ideas now? Do you want to continue sparring with others?" Levi asked Bronsky with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Bronsky glanced at the few people watching the commotion on the sidelines and shook his head.

Although he wasn't afraid of failure, he felt that losing face twice was enough, and there was no need to keep losing face—with Jessica and Natasha as examples, he habitually assumed that the other alliance members were also hidden masters.

"Let's talk about how to make me stronger. I don't want to stay the weakest forever!" Bronsky sighed.

“It’s not that serious. Apart from Melina and a few others who went on missions after Europe, the two you fought just now were the strongest. The rest might not be able to beat you, but they all have their own specialties, so don’t underestimate them!” Li Wei patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

Bronsky took Li Wei's words as just a way of comforting himself.

Especially after he saw Bullseye Dax hit a target twenty meters away with a toothpick on the other side of the training field, and the toothpick went deep into the bullseye.

If you're not careful, this seemingly refined young man could easily defeat you in a single glance.
Bronsky thought so.

“Actually, your most pressing issue right now is not increasing your strength, but your age…” Li Wei said.

Bronsky remained silent.

Because what Li Wei said was true.

He is 35 years old this year.

Despite years of consistent training and a scientific diet, Bronsky has maximized the delay in the decline of his physical functions, keeping himself in a relatively peak condition.

However, I still cannot deny the fact that my physical functions are beginning to decline.

Especially for a soldier, 35 years old is actually quite old!

“But you are lucky!” Li Wei added.

"What do you mean?" Bronsky asked, puzzled.

"Of course it's because you joined the alliance!" Li Wei smiled slightly, then led him to the medical room.

However, there is no doctor in this medical room, nor is a doctor needed for the time being. It's only used for treating emergency injuries.

The three Black Widows and Frank are all proficient in basic first aid skills.

Not to mention Li Wei, who's practically cheating.

Naturally, no emergency medical personnel are needed.

As for getting sick—go to the hospital, of course.

Stark Industries owns a number of hospitals, so alliance members can see doctors for free and without waiting in line—the benefits are incredibly good.

However, Levi brought Bronsky to the medical room not for treatment.

Although he fought two matches against Jessica and Natasha, both of them were very careful in their attacks.

He brought Bronsky to get his shot.

Li Wei took out an injection from the safe in the medical room.

There are nine more similar injections in the safe.

"What is this?" Bronsky couldn't help but ask.

"Vitality Potion! It's derived from dragon bones—the skeleton of a legendary creature, possessing extremely vigorous vitality. One injection of this can maintain your peak vitality for a year—of course, this potion hasn't been developed for very long, so this is just a rather conservative estimate," Li Wei explained.

The reason Peggy Carter was given dragon bones to eat was because they had only had the dragon bones for a short time and hadn't had time to study them.

But now, after several months of research and with Tony's help, Melina has been able to potionize the dragon bone—although Melina is a little less talented than Tony, she is still a polymath proficient in biology and mechanics.

"That's amazing?" Bronsky was surprised again.

However, he had already experienced enough surprises today, so his emotions did not fluctuate too much.

"Fortunately, you'll see even more amazing things in the League in the future, and this is just one of the League's basic benefits!" Li Wei said, shaking the potion in his hand.

Although it's called a basic benefit, in reality, only Bronsky and Melina among the league members currently have this need.

As for the others, Tony, Pepper, and Frank had just drunk Titan Elixir. In addition to improving their physical condition, this stuff also has the function of delaying the decline of bodily functions. Using Dragon Bone Elixir at this stage would be a complete waste.

Dr. Mercer is undergoing cancer treatment and is being kept alive by Levi's medicine, so he doesn't need to use it for the time being—for cancer, the excessive vitality contained in the dragon bone is not a good thing.

As for the others, including Natasha and Jessica, they are still young and have not yet reached their peak, so they naturally do not need this thing.

What? The Winter Soldier?

All they need is a refrigeration unit.

After the introduction, Li Wei handed the medicine to Bronsky.

Then the two looked at each other.

"What are you standing there for? You can do it yourself. You know how to give an intramuscular injection, right?" Levi said when he saw Bronsky standing there in a daze.

...So hasty?
Bronsky silently took the injection and then injected himself.

A dozen minutes after the injection, Bronsky clearly felt that his muscles, which had been a little tired and sore from playing two practice games, quickly recovered and he felt like he had inexhaustible energy.

That alone told Bronsky that joining the league was the right decision.
