Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 93 Tom + Lei Xiaogu =?

When Du Mu came back, Hulk and Peter should have just finished fighting.

Maybe the time in Gotham flows a little faster than in the martial arts gym, but Du Mu estimated based on the position of the sun that at least an hour has passed.

The children who were secretly lying on the wall to watch the fun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

They were already familiar with Hulk and were not shocked by his strength. But this weirdo who had just arrived at the martial arts gym and was wearing clothes that were almost naked could actually fight with Hulk for so long.

The first two times Peter came, it was either at night, he left in a hurry, or the children were in class. It was the first time he saw these children.

He was chatting with Hulk with a smile on his face, but when he glanced at the kids inadvertently, he was suddenly stunned.

The various prosthetic parts on their bodies are extremely bright and eye-catching.

"them……"

Peter said in amazement.

Du Mu was too lazy to discuss this matter with every superhero who came here. Their sense of responsibility did not allow them to turn a blind eye to it, but it was too troublesome to explain it every time.

So he said casually: "The side yard is a school for disabled children. I opened it so that they can learn some knowledge so that they can make a living in the future."

As he spoke, Du Mu came in front of Hulk.

Peter, standing aside, looked at the children with a sympathetic look.

Hulk was quite happy to see Du Mu, but when he heard what Du Mu said, he immediately became unhappy.

"Hulk, I need Banner to help me with something right now. Can you move your schedule to the evening?"

Hulk had just finished a fight with Peter and was quite happy. This kind of fight, which did not contain any malice or persistence and could end at any time, was Hulk's favorite kind of fun.

Hulk lowered his head and complained, "It's Banner again. Can't I help?"

Du Mu thought that Hulk didn't want his windbreak time to end early, so he apologized: "Hulk, I know you still have a long time before you finish your time out today, but I do need Banner for this matter."

"All right……"

Hulk stood up somewhat disappointedly and went to his transformation cabin. After a while, Banner, who had packed up himself, came out pushing up his glasses.

Banner looked at Du Mu strangely: "This is the first time you have rejected Hulk's idea. Is there something urgent? But it seems that all I can do are some slow-paced work. For important matters, you should ask Hulk for help."

"Because what I need now is not strong muscles, but a smart brain."

Du Mu said this and brought Banner to the side yard on the right.

Currently, the children attend classes and live in the yard on the left, and the yard on the right is left vacant. Du Mu's original plan was to provide these children with an experimental site that is beyond their time after they have learned and become successful, and he also had high hopes for their ability to improve the world's technological level.

Although he could travel to different universes at will, when he did not feel a sense of urgency, Du Mu did not intend to force things. He only wanted to produce some scientists who would belong to this world and be remembered by history.

But we can’t play house like this anymore. A storm is coming, and the resources from other worlds must be used immediately.

Before, Du Mu had never considered establishing a foothold or running anything in other worlds. After all, those things were too troublesome. Du Mu was not a person who coveted enjoyment. What he loved most was a free and unrestrained life. It would be a huge loss for him to exchange time for money.

Unfortunately, when the sky falls, there is always a tall man to hold it up, and Du Mu is that tall man now.

Du Mu took out a pile of messy equipment from the storage bag and piled them randomly in the corner for the time being, to be sorted out later.

He took out an astronomical telescope and placed it in the middle of the yard.

Du Mu naturally wanted Banner to observe the situation in the solar system, but the reason why he did not find Banner at night was that there was a planet that could only be seen during the day.

sun.

Although Du Mu had some guesses, he still couldn't help but ask Banner to observe it in detail.

Naturally, an astronomical telescope cannot be pointed directly at the sun, as that would easily burn the human retina, so a Baade film, also known as a solar filter, needs to be added in front.

Peter Parker was curious about what his master was going to do, so he followed him.

His school is closed today and his part-time job hasn't started yet.

Unlike in China, deliverymen in the United States are only allowed to deliver food for the local maximum daily working hours with one account. If they want to be out all day long, they need to register a new account with another mobile phone.

But Peter doesn't have time to maintain another account, which also requires effort, and he has a lot of other things to do, otherwise he would really become a delivery man.

So he had a rare day of free time today - but he ended up running over to have a fight with Hulk, making himself more tired than usual after saving twenty people.

Du Mu took out a pen and paper and briefly described the situation of the solar system to Banner. Banner and Peter said almost at the same time: "This is impossible!"

Du Mu also sighed and said, "I know this is incredible, and I don't want to believe it either, so I asked you to study it."

"By the way...can you also help me check if there is anything abnormal with the sun?"

Du Mu didn't expect to be able to see whether there was anything on the sun with the help of the telescope, but at least he let Banner identify whether it was a normal star.

Peter immediately became excited and wanted to join in. He had not paid much attention to the situation in the other world. It was really a problem of consciousness.

The oxygen, gravity, creatures, races, and languages ​​of this world are all almost identical to those on Earth. In such a familiar environment, people may not realize for a moment that they have actually come to an alien planet.

When Du Mu mentioned astronomy, Peter felt for the first time that he had traveled through time. Immediately, the curiosity of a scientist in him was aroused.

not to mention……

Peter stole a glance at Banner.

This is an opportunity to study the same subject with the world's top scientists.

It’s a pity that this is a different world, and Dr. Banner is still on the wanted list. He can’t use it as his resume, and he has no chance to sign his name on the same paper.

—Robert Bruce Banner

—Peter Parker

Just thinking about these two rows of signatures, Peter felt extremely regretful.

However, Peter soon put this disappointment behind him. What he lost as Spider-Man was far more than this qualification.

Seeing that the two of them quickly entered into their research state, Du Mu did not disturb them.

He thought about it and realized that there were actually two main things he had to do next... Either he had to purchase various modern weapons to improve his technological strength, or he had to find a way to improve his personal strength and make himself stronger quickly.

Without much hesitation, Du Mu decided to choose the latter.

It’s not that we look down on modern thermal weapons, but the problem is that thermal weapons actually require a large number of professionals to operate.

Just the most basic firearms, literacy training takes several weeks. Tank training requires three years in peacetime and at least six months in wartime. Not to mention all kinds of guided weapons. Without a modern undergraduate degree, you are not qualified to help. A bachelor's or master's degree in a related major is considered a stepping stone.

This is for modern people who have received compulsory education. The ancients had to learn to read for several years. It would only take one or two years for them to set up a modern militarized group. It is hard to say that the Red Barbarians who had occupied the west coast of Japan waited that long before attacking.

If it was a stable transmission channel, modern people could be hired to operate it directly. But Du Mu's method of traveling through time required blood as a key. Even if he could provide so much blood, he couldn't keep them stably in the bodies of thousands of soldiers.

Du Mu did some mental calculations. Assuming his control ability could allow him to maintain blood keys in the bodies of ten thousand people at the same time, with that kind of control, he could actually use his spiritual entity to operate those weapons... and the loss of attention would be even less, after all, weapons are much more durable than people.

If he used these one or two years to improve his strength... Du Mu had no way of estimating it, because his strength growth was not linear but explosive. It was hard to say how much stronger he would be in a year.

At present, just by releasing the guardian angel to hit people, Du Mu already has a certain degree of AOE attack means.

What's more, these two routes are not actually in conflict. Du Mu can improve his own strength while collecting various modern big bombs, and act as a highly maneuverable bomber and throw them at other people's heads.

Now that we have a clear idea, the next step is to take concrete actions to improve our strength.

The first option was naturally the idea that I had vaguely in mind before... go to Hogwarts and kidnap a few young wizards to get ten times the feedback.

However, before leaving, Du Mu still asked Peter Parker: "Is there a scientist named Tony Stark in your world?"

Peter was stunned, and after thinking about it, he said uncertainly, "It seems... not?" Banner raised his head and said, "I only know that there is an entrepreneur named Tony Stark who is in the arms business."

Peter then remembered and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I remember it too. My friend mentioned it to me. Stark Enterprises has a high status in the military field, and their company cannot compete with the other party for military orders at all."

Banner shook his head and said, "Moreover, the current CEO of Stark Enterprises only has two doctoral degrees. He has indeed designed many high-tech weapons that can make headlines, but at most he can be called a senior engineer and a master weapon designer, not a scientist."

It seems that the Tony in this world has not yet become Iron Man.

Du Mu was a little disappointed. Tony, who didn't become Iron Man, really didn't have any outstanding qualities. Although his technical level was very good, it would be the same for Bruce.

Du Mu shook his head, stopped worrying about this issue, left the East Courtyard and returned to the martial arts arena in the Central Courtyard.

He was just about to use Harry's blood as a key to embed into the vein of his wrist and go to Hogwarts through the martial arts gymnasium gate when he suddenly stopped at the entrance to the martial arts arena.

He took a diary from under his skull at the lower back.

"Tom, can you get your actual body back?"

A young and handsome boy suddenly appeared beside Du Mu.

Tom bowed his head respectfully and said, "Not for now, Professor. I want to completely revive an adult and need to perform a ceremony, but I don't have any of the materials for a ceremony."

Du Mu noticed that he had one arm behind his back.

"Take out your arm." Du Mu ordered.

Tom then pretended to be very embarrassed, but had to obey the professor's orders, and stretched out his arm.

The arm became extremely transparent, yet green like the poisonous mist spreading from a poisonous swamp.

Du Mu raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you and Lei Xiaogu are not getting along very well."

After Du Mu slaughtered the Assassin's League, he did not touch their souls, because the moment he killed them, Du Mu felt that these souls had owners.

Afterwards they did not turn into ghosts or anything like that and floated out, but simply disappeared. They probably went to heaven or hell.

Okay, just kidding, they all went to hell.

Lei Xiaogu didn't know whether it was because of Talia's death or the fact that the Assassin's League was almost destroyed, but his temper became very bad and he no longer stuck out his neck and pretended to be like before.

His soul was almost completely corrupted by the Pool of Lazarus, and after spending some time with the Lord of Incense, he became more and more confused.

Du Mu also had to seal the passage through which the Incense Master came. Naturally, he couldn't let Lei Xiaogu corrupt the Incense Master, so he stuffed him into Tom's diary.

Tom did not express any opinion, but just accepted it silently, and Du Mu was very satisfied with this.

Seeing Tom's arms, Du Mu was even more satisfied.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally revealed a hint of his real purpose for putting Lei Xiaogu in the diary.

"This bit of your soul has been polluted. Cut it off."

Tom was stunned. He didn't expect Du Mu to say such a thing. He just wanted to play the victim and let Du Mu take Lei Xiaogu back as soon as possible.

As for why he felt so uncomfortable before but didn't dare to raise any opinions... Nonsense, Tom is not blind, he had already seen the fate of his original body.

That's the real soul-shattering...

The existence of the Horcrux only ensures that the soul will not be taken away by the underworld, but if the soul itself is severely damaged, it is not under the control of the Horcrux, so if the soul of the original body disappears, then it is truly dead.

After understanding the outside world and the unconcealable malice this terrifying man had towards him, Tom decided to swallow the humiliation, learn from the soul in the skull, and pretend that he did not exist.

Go ahead and do what you want, but don't be idle and suddenly think of it and wipe out the roots of your own problem.

But there was nothing he could do when his name was called...Tom just hated himself for being a soul that didn't need to sleep and couldn't pretend to be dead.

He hesitated at this time: "But Professor... I don't have the means to split the soul. When making the Horcrux, I rely on ritual magic performed with the guilt of murder."

Du Mu stretched out his hand and held Tom's green hand.

Tom was stunned, and then Du Mu gently waved the fingers of his other hand, and immediately the soul of the entire wrist was separated from the body.

Tom opened his mouth in surprise, then quickly closed it.

Well, after all, the professor can grab his own soul with his bare hands, so it seems reasonable that he can cut the soul without relying on abstract sins.

As for the pain in the soul…there isn’t much actually.

If this was a torturous thing, Tom, or later Voldemort, would not be able to persist in doing it seven times.

After all, the soul has no nerves...

Just as Tom was thinking this, Du Mu gently pinched the contaminated part of Tom's soul, just like he did to Voldemort, and crushed it directly.

Tom felt a tremor all over his body, as if a balloon had been deflated, and felt a deep sense of emptiness and loss from the depths of his soul.

He couldn't help but act as if he was still alive, his pupils dilated, his expression terrified, and his breathing heavy.

It turns out...it turns out that the division of the soul is not painful, but the small group of souls connected together by consciousness suddenly dissipated completely. This uncomfortable feeling of nothingness far outweighs the pain.

Tom felt that if he were a living person, he would probably be covered in cold sweat and pale at this moment.

Unfortunately, I am a soul and can only pretend to be pitiful.

Du Mu looked at Tom, whose face he had turned pale by hand, and couldn't help laughing. Then he said, "Come on, how many souls are missing? Devour them from me."

"what?"

Tom looked up in confusion, thinking he had misheard.

Du Mu smiled encouragingly: "It's okay, have you forgotten? The spiritual power you devoured is just a drop in the ocean for the teacher."

Of course Tom still remembers it. The scene that day was so shocking that it was truly engraved in his soul. Only when his soul is torn apart can he forget it.

but……

But would the other party be so kind?

Tom was really feeling confused now. Judging from the other party's words, it seemed that he was serious about allowing himself to restore his soul by devouring the other party's spirit.

But before that, he stuffed that polluted soul into the diary, and just now he was ruthlessly grinding away a part of his soul, and that was also serious.

Tom could understand being tortured, as he had been tortured too much since he was a child. He was not as strong as others and was under the rule of others, so he had to be obedient and careful. He understood this very well and practiced it very seriously.

But after being tortured, he allowed himself to devour the other person to repair himself...

Isn't this no less than what Eastern religions call cutting flesh to feed the eagle?
In the past, everyone who was stronger than him had never behaved like this...

This was a behavioral logic that was beyond Tom's understanding, making Tom feel a little at a loss.

He didn't know how to react, so he could only obey the order with a complicated expression... and devour the other party.

Du Mu felt the spiritual power that came out of nothing slowly growing, and nodded secretly in his heart.

It turned out that his original choice was right. He let Lei Xiaogu consume Tom's spirit and soul, and when Tom was short of money, he used his own soul to fill the gap.

The cooperation between the three people is like a perpetual motion machine with soul feedback.

In this way, although it is impossible to obtain an explosive growth in mental power in one go like the first time, steady improvement... a little bit of improvement every day over a long period of time should not be underestimated.

Du Mu looked at Tom, who had become solid again, nodded with satisfaction, put the diary back behind his waist, and then really set off towards Hogwarts.

There are more things to do today than yesterday... I'm not stuck in writing anymore, but I only started writing at around six o'clock. I'm sorry everyone, the second chapter may be finished around noon.
